After this little episode with Wen Dongrong, Xie Qian thought he had a good grasp of his future father-in-law, and kept praising Wen Dongrong's cooking skills during the meal.
Then he said that Kung Pao Chicken is authentic.
Then he praised the spicy boiled fish for its flavor.
In fact, Xie Qian had already eaten two bites of the fish fillet, which was probably only known to God and Wen Ying. Xie Qian felt his scalp tingling when he saw the layer of peppercorns on the fish fillet.
Xie Qian's obsessive-compulsive nature was ingrained in him, and he really wanted to pick out the peppercorns from the fish fillets bit by bit - he tried to control himself, but failed, and he actually did it!
Wen Dongrong widened his eyes: This kid, is he so picky?
Deng Shangwei felt a little embarrassed holding the chopsticks.
The Xie family is really meticulous in raising their children.
In comparison, raising Sakura at home is a bit rough. I wonder if there will be any conflicts in living habits when the two of them live together in the future?
Chen Ruby was more patient than the two men in the family and did not reveal her thoughts for the time being.
Xie Qian seemed unaware of the stares from the three elders of Wen Ying's family. He skillfully picked out the peppercorns from the fish fillet and placed the clean fish fillet in front of Wen Ying.
"Eat it, there are no more peppercorns."
Xie Qian's movements were skillful, and Wen Ying seemed accustomed to it.
Wen Dongrong's eyes widened again: This guy named Xie is quite good at showing his courtesy!
Deng Shangwei's embarrassment turned into satisfaction: he seems aloof, but in fact he is very considerate of his girlfriend, extra points!
Chen Ru was a little surprised - Xiaoying, do you hate peppercorns?
As a mother, she had never noticed this before and was really negligent in her duty.
Wen Ying ignored the undercurrents at the dinner table and greeted Xie Qian warmly:
"You should eat it too. This tomato and egg dish should suit your taste. I specifically told my dad not to put onions in it!"
Wen Ying knew that Xie Qian couldn't eat spicy food, so she asked Wen Dongrong to make a few non-spicy dishes.
Of course, Wen Ying’s EQ is not that low. She told Wen Dongrong that she wanted to eat something light today.
——Black-hearted cotton, little liar!
Wen Dongrong gritted his teeth secretly.
Deng Shangwei stepped on Wen Dongrong's foot under the table, and Chen Ru also warned him with her eyes. Wen Dongrong forced a smile: "Xie Qian, if it suits your appetite, then eat more. I didn't put onions in these dishes!"
Who doesn’t eat onions?
It is normal for people from other provinces not to eat Houttuynia cordata, but it is abnormal not to eat onions!
Not only does Xie Qian not look like someone who can cook, but people would even believe him if he said he didn't need to eat!
Wen Dongrong was a little bit repulsive to Xie Qian.
Wen Dongrong didn't quite understand his own mentality, so he became more depressed.
Even when Xie Qian offered to wash the dishes after dinner, Wen Dongrong didn't become happy: "Just sit still. I can't ask you to wash the dishes."
The tigress was right. If Xie Qian had to wash the dishes when he came to the Wen family, then Hei Xinmian might even have to mop the floor when he went to the Xie family!
Xie Qian didn't get the chance to wash the dishes. He stood in the kitchen and watched for a long time before his brain came up with the best option: "Uncle, should I have someone install a dishwasher?"
Wen Ying of course knew that Xie Qian was very nervous today. Xie Qian seemed to have lost his usual calmness and composure, and he spoke and acted according to his thoughts.
I just said I wanted to learn how to cook, and now I want to install a dishwasher in this house.
How could a dishwasher please Lao Wen?
Not to mention 2008, even in another ten years, young people will face resistance when wanting to install a dishwasher at home.
It’s just a few dishes. Just wash them while you’re cleaning the stove.
You need to buy a machine, change the water and electricity, and consume electricity and water in the later stage. It makes washing a few dishes so complicated!
Young people are just lazy!
So many high-frequency objection statements suddenly appeared in Wen Ying's mind.
As Wen Ying expected, Wen Dongrong immediately rejected Xie Qian's proposal. He was very confused: "How can a machine be as convenient as manual work? I have to fiddle with the machine every time I wash dishes. If I had that time, I would have washed several dishes a long time ago!"
Besides, the kitchen in the rented house is not big. It is spacious enough for one person to cook in the kitchen, but it is a bit crowded for two people, and there is no room for three people at all... Where is the place to install a dishwasher in such a cramped place?
Xie Qian is not down to earth at all!
Wen Dongrong sulked: "Besides, with that damn dishwasher, how can his value be demonstrated? The head of the family has to be in charge of everyone's mouths and stomachs!"
As soon as he saw Wen Dongrong's expression, Xie Qian knew that he had said the wrong thing, which made him very upset.
Why is it that the more I try to express myself, the more counterproductive it becomes?
Wen Ying wanted to help Xie Qian lighten the mood. Chen Ru, who had been quiet all day, suddenly smiled. "Okay, don't be so polite. There will be many opportunities to come to our house for dinner in the future. There will always be a chance for you to show off. Xie Qian, let's go back to the living room and sit down and chat. Tell me about the dishwasher. I'm quite interested."
Xie Qian was surprised. He didn't expect that it was Wen Ying's mother who gave him the ladder to get down.
Xie Qian immediately grabbed this life-saving straw!
"What do you want to know?"
Xie Qian only has a basic understanding of dishwashers, but as long as Chen Ru needs it, Xie Qian can go back and make a statistics of all brands of dishwashers on the market, and give Chen Ru an analysis table of the models and performance advantages and disadvantages!
"Can I install a dishwasher in a small kitchen? Do I need to change the plumbing and electrical?"
"It can be changed."
Xie Qian took a quick glance at the kitchen and reconfirmed its layout. He didn't need to consult a professional; he could use his own knowledge to guarantee: "It can be done with some planning."
Xie Qian gave Chen Ru a brief introduction to the different types of dishwashers, and Chen Ru listened very carefully.
"Hearing you put it that way, it really makes sense that technological progress has liberated the workforce. Dishwashers are a great thing, and you've given us a new way of thinking. I'm busy at work, and your uncle is busy too. Installing a dishwasher will save us a lot of time."
