Chapter 47 Wedding Gift
When they saw the table full of food, they were stunned.
Not only are the dishes very rich, the taste, presentation and dish arrangement are all top-notch!
Wang Zhengyun immediately looked at Gu Linchuan, his eyes full of admiration.
It was also the first time that Gu Linchuan discovered that Zhou Manman could cook many dishes, and even her plating skills were comparable to those of the great chefs in state-owned restaurants!
"Comrade Xiao Zhou, you cooked a really good meal!" Wang Zhengyun gave Zhou Manman a thumbs up.
"You haven't even tried it yet, why are you praising it so much?" Zhou Manman smiled, "Sit down and give it a try."
Everyone sat down, their eyes fixed on the dishes in front of them.
Every piece of the braised spareribs looked red and shiny, and so did the chicken. They looked ordinary, but the layer of oil on the skin and the tender and smooth meat made them look extraordinary.
"Sister-in-law, your plating and dishes look even better than the ones I had at the state-owned restaurant in Beijing before!" Liu Siye praised Zhou Manman without hesitation.
Zhou Manman placed the plate of twice-cooked pork with green pepper in front of him: "Try this, you like spicy food."
"Didn't my sister-in-law tell me to eat light food?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. You should enjoy your meal tonight. It's a rare visit."
"Hey!" Liu Siye couldn't help it any longer, and without hesitation, he picked up a piece of fried pork with peppers and put it into his mouth.
The aroma of the pepper wrapped around the meat exploded in his mouth, and Liu Siye's eyes suddenly became very bright at that moment.
"Delicious!" He quickly ate the rice and the dishes in front of him, and then he picked up a piece of braised pork ribs.
The ribs were cooked to perfection. When you bite into them, the juices come out. They are so delicious.
Wang Zhengyun looked at Liu Siye eating like a starving ghost, and he couldn't help but frowning.
No, this kid eats like this, others would think he has never been full!
Wang Zhengyun picked up a piece of boiled chicken, dipped it in ginger and scallion sauce, and put it in his mouth. The tender and smooth chicken and the sweet taste made Wang Zhengyun's eyes widen.
He looked at Zhou Manman and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, your chicken is really great! I haven't eaten chicken like this for many years."
"This is boiled chicken." Zhou Manman said with a smile.
In fact, the method is very simple, just steam the chicken.
However, the degree of doneness and the heat need to be controlled well.
"I know. Many years ago, I went to Suicheng on a business trip and ate the white-cut chicken there. It tasted similar to this. The chicken was very tender and delicious. Later, when I returned to Beijing, I also tried to make it myself, but I couldn't replicate it. I didn't expect to eat it here today."
After Wang Zhengyun finished speaking, he asked with some curiosity: "Comrade Xiao Zhou, have you also been to Suicheng?"
The dish of boiled chicken is not a mainstream dish in China.
Zhou Manman knew very well that even in modern times, it was mostly eaten in the Lingnan region.
But she also likes to eat it because it is fresh, clean, and has no seasonings. It returns to its essence and is very healthy.
Now, when Wang Zhengyun asked her this question, Zhou Manman could only say: "My parents used to like studying food. They bought some books about food from all over the country, and I followed them to learn."
"I see." Wang Zhengyun did not doubt her and picked up several pieces of chicken.
Zhou Manman was eating when suddenly a piece of pork ribs was put into the bowl. She was startled.
He turned around and looked at Gu Linchuan.
The man's expression did not change. Feeling her gaze, he said calmly, "You've worked hard cooking. Eat more."
"Thank you, husband." Zhou Manman immediately laughed. But she felt that Gu Linchuan had changed a lot today.
Gu Linchuan looked at Zhou Manman. The girl had a soft and pretty profile. She ate her meal in small bites, looking very peaceful.
Look at the warm atmosphere of the family now. Although there is no expression on the face, there is a warm current flowing in the heart.
Isn't this the married life he has always dreamed of?
He hadn't been this happy in a long time.
Zhou Manman’s cooking is delicious. Wang Zhengyun and Liu Siye were originally embarrassed and just wanted to eat a little bit for the sake of showing their respect.
After all, they came here today on a whim and didn't even bring any gifts. How could they feel comfortable treating them to a feast of fish and meat as soon as they arrived?
However, after they ate the food cooked by Zhou Manman, they were suddenly speechless.
They ate two bowls of rice in silence and swept the dishes off the table clean.
They were embarrassed to eat so much, but they really couldn't help it! They didn't know when they would be able to eat such delicious food again.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhengyun felt that he should bring Gu Linchuan back to the capital as soon as possible.
Then he will have an excuse to eat for free.
When they drank the soup, the chicken soup was delicious and rich, and the soup was also sweet, as if their fatigue was swept away in an instant.
"This soup is so delicious! I've never tasted such delicious soup before." Wang Zhengyun exclaimed. He has participated in banquets of all sizes.
But he had never eaten anything so delicious!
The ingredients are not of the highest quality, but why can Zhou Manman make such delicious food?
They would never know that Zhou Manman added water from the space into the soup. The wonderful water in the space is incomparable to ordinary water in terms of taste and efficacy.
"Uncle Wang, drink more." Zhou Manman stood up and went to fill another bowl for Wang Zhengyun.
Gu Linchuan held her down: "Let him do it himself, just treat it as his own home."
Wang Zhengyun could see that Gu Linchuan felt sorry for Zhou Manman. He didn't expect that this cold-faced man would feel sorry for his wife even after getting married.
However, with Zhou Manman's beautiful appearance and sweet voice, it's no wonder that she could melt the heart of this icy man.
"I'll do it myself, Xiao Zhou, you enjoy your meal." Wang Zhengyun was not polite.
After dinner, Gu Sitian said, "Sister-in-law, I'll clean up here."
She was really impressed by Zhou Manman's meal today.
She thought the meals from the past two days were delicious enough, but today's meal made her feel like she was going to cry!
What she did to Zhou Manman before was really too much.
Seeing Gu Sitian calling her sister-in-law, Zhou Manman smiled and said, "Then come on."
She was a little tired from being busy, and she still had to see off the guests with Gu Linchuan.
They saw Wang Zhengyun and Liu Siye off.
It was dark, as if a layer of ink was splashed on the sky. There were only a few street lights in the village, and the darkness was a little scary.
But fortunately, the sky was full of stars and the night breeze was very comfortable.
"Xiao Zhou, I treat Linchuan as my younger brother, so I'll call you my younger sister." Wang Zhengyun coughed and said, "Although I'm almost old enough to be his father."
"Wang Zhengyun!" Gu Linchuan couldn't help but call out to Wang Zhengyun to stop, his eyes and brows were cold.
Wang Zhengyun's heart tightened, and he immediately said, "So, he didn't inform me when you got married. I feel very sorry. This time, I also brought a gift for you."
Wang Zhengyun took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Manman.
