Chapter 158 Delicious Food
The fillings also have fresh ingredients. The dumplings that Gu Linchuan had eaten before were mostly filled with pork, green onions, cabbage and pork.
As for the ones that Zhou Manman is making now, when Gu Linchuan tastes them, they are surprisingly fresh and delicious.
Even though he had eaten cabbage and pork countless times, he didn't know how Zhou Manman cooked it. The ingredients were the same, but the meat was particularly delicious and had a sweet taste.
Gu Linchuan actually thought it tasted better than what Chen Chunmei made.
Of course Gu Linchuan didn’t know that Zhou Manman actually used some of the water in the space.
Originally, her cooking skills might be only eight points, but if she used the water in the space to wash vegetables and knead dough, the food she made would be able to increase its deliciousness to ten points.
After eating, Zhou Manman went to the kitchen to busy herself again.
Gu Linchuan wanted to help, but was driven away by Zhou Manman: "I just forgot to buy some seasonings. Can you buy some soy sauce, vinegar, and chili for me? Is there anyone who can buy things around here?"
"Of course there are." Gu Linchuan said, "Otherwise, with so many people in the family compound, where can we buy it?"
"Then I'll do the work myself, thank you."
Gu Linchuan felt that Zhou Manman was having a hard time like this and estimated that she would be busy all day. However, he couldn't help much here.
Since there is a lack of seasoning, he can just go buy some.
After Gu Linchuan left, Zhou Manman immediately took out a few bottles of water from the space.
She needs to cook sugar water, so naturally she needs a large amount.
With Gu Linchuan here, it’s difficult for her to perform well.
Zhou Manman decided to make a sweet soup with taro balls, taro paste and milk.
First steam the taro paste, then add sugar and milk and mash it into paste.
Then make taro balls of various colors.
She boiled it all, and then poured in the milk.
She made a whole pot of it and put it in the refrigerator to cool.
She knew it was perfect for summer.
After dinner in the evening, a bowl of this refreshing sugar water is just too fast.
Zhou Manman also cooked some sour plum soup and put it in the refrigerator.
She felt that the refrigerator was really not big enough. The capacity looked okay, but she soon filled it up.
By the time the sweet soup was ready, Gu Linchuan would be back soon.
Zhou Manman prepared all the dishes because there were seven people coming to dinner tonight, including two children.
Including them, there are nine of us.
Then you have to cook at least ten dishes.
Wang Zhengyun’s favorite boiled chicken is a staple dish.
You should also try the sweet and sour sweet and sour pork in pot, which is suitable for all ages.
There are also braised spare ribs, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, and beef stew with potatoes.
There were five meat dishes in total.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, three fresh vegetables, blanched Chinese cabbage, and black fungus and cucumber are relatively refreshing dishes.
Finally, Zhou Manman cooked a carrot, corn and pork ribs soup.
It is sweet and refreshing, and very suitable for drinking in weather like this.
Gu Linchuan was not idle either. Zhou Manman was responsible for cooking, and he was responsible for preparing the dishes on the side.
The two had been busy in the kitchen for two hours and it was almost time for dinner.
The kitchen only has a simple exhaust fan, which is not able to effectively expel the smoke from cooking.
Gu Linchuan opened the window wide.
Because the aroma of the food also spread out and into the corridor.
It was time to get off work. When people passed by and smelled the aroma, they swallowed unconsciously.
"It smells so good, where does that smell come from?" someone asked.
"I don't know, how much good oil and meat is needed to cook it to this taste."
One of them sighed.
Yes, they live in the staff compound and usually go to the canteen for their meals.
Families with the means may make it themselves, but no one has ever tried one that tastes so good.
Therefore, they found it quite incredible.
How can someone's cooking be so delicious?
Wang Zhengyun walked down from upstairs with his wife and children.
Hearing their discussion, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
As soon as he smelled the smell, he knew it must be the meal cooked by Zhou Manman. What's more, his saliva was watering at the smell.
Not to mention other people's feelings.
He was really lucky to be able to taste the food cooked by Zhou Manman.
Tonight, he said nothing and insisted on having a good taste.
Of course, he didn't come empty-handed. He also brought a bag of fruit and some wine, waiting to have a good drink with Gu Linchuan tonight.
Wang Zhengyun and the others knocked on the door, and Gu Linchuan came over to open it.
After entering, he took a look at the environment of the house.
It's quite cozy and well decorated.
When Gu Linchuan first moved in, Wang Zhengyun came to take a look. At that time, the house was empty and there was nothing in it.
But now it's different.
Not only are there a lot of things, but they also look pretty good.
Look at the curtains, light blue, so warm.
There are soft cushions on the wooden sofa.
The dining table was also covered with a tablecloth...
Wang Zhengyun was too embarrassed to look at other places, but he knew that the changes must have been huge.
At this time, he felt a lot more emotion in his heart.
It’s indeed different with a woman.
Wang Zhengyun watched Gu Linchuan grow up right before his eyes.
At this moment, although Gu Linchuan was still as cold as before, his expression had softened a lot.
"Sit down for a while and drink some water."
Wang Zhengyun glanced at a corner of the kitchen where Zhou Manman was busy and the aroma of the food was wafting in the air.
"What did my sister-in-law make today? I could smell it at the stairs just now. Many people passing by were also discussing it. They were all wondering whose family cooked such delicious food."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchuan immediately asked, "You didn't say that?"
Wang Zhengyun shook his head: "No, no, how could I possibly tell this?"
"Don't spread the word. I don't want Manman to be too tired."
Zhou Manman finally got a chance to rest today, but ended up being busy all day thinking about repaying their favor.
He looked tired.
But he couldn't help much.
Wang Zhengyun saw Gu Linchuan's heartache.
This boy, who is so cold on weekdays, is surprisingly nice to his wife.
Zhao Zhigang's family and Liu Siye were all here.
Soon, the room was filled with people.
Zhou Manman also prepared all the dishes.
When these dishes were served, they had nothing but crazy praises for Zhou Manman.
Then, everyone started eating. There was no other sound at the table except for the sound of people praising Zhou Manman's cooking skills and the clatter of chopsticks and bowls.
This is the greatest compliment to Zhou Manman's cooking skills.
"Manman, I heard from Lao Wang that you are a good cook, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Wang Zhengyun's wife said to Zhou Manman, "If you have time in the future, can you teach me?"
"I want some too!" Wang Wen immediately responded, "I've never eaten such delicious food before."
Not to mention the dishes, the rice itself is sweet and delicious, as if it was cooked with mountain spring water.
After this meal, it seemed as if all the fatigue was swept away.
