After they became familiar with each other, Xu Manman didn't need to call him anymore. He would just follow her to the house at mealtime, so Ruan Qingshan didn't feel embarrassed at all at this time.
Jin Zichu replied, "Your teacher read a novel yesterday and wants to eat yellow croaker noodles today. Do you want any? If you don't like it, I can make something else."
"Yes, I'm used to it." Although he was a northerner and had never eaten yellow croaker noodles, he believed 100% in his master's craftsmanship. Nothing made by his master was bad.
Xu Manman put away the newspaper she had finished reading and looked at the student who now looked like a decent person. "Are you on a business trip in Hai City during this period? Are you staying in a guesthouse?"
"No, I rented a house with someone else. It's close to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and convenient for commuting." Although business trips are all at public expense, I can't afford to stay in a guesthouse every day for such a long time.
"Sharing a house with someone? What about food?"
"They have a small cafeteria, just eat with them."
Xu Manman looked around her large living room of about one or two hundred square meters, thought for a while, and asked Jin Zichu in the kitchen, "Zichu, did you buy a house on Huangpu Road a few years ago?" There were too many properties in the family, and she couldn't remember every one of them.
Jin Zichu's voice came from the kitchen, "Yes, they are two small rooms in the alley at the back. The keys should be at home. I will go find them later."
After getting the answer she wanted, Xu Manman looked at her long-graduated student and said, "Why don't you move in? Although the house isn't big, it's more comfortable than sharing a house with someone else. Besides, your master doesn't charge rent, so you can save some money for the higher-ups."
Ruan Qingshan was deeply touched by the fact that his teacher and his wife were rich when he was still a student. He said without hesitation, "Thank you, teacher, thank you, master."
He has received so much help, so this little bit is not a big deal. He will definitely remember the kindness that his teacher and master have shown him over the years.
Jin Zichu's cooking skills are indeed good. The yellow croaker noodles are very delicious. Because Xu Manman is not very good at picking out fish bones, she removed the bones and fish bones of the small fish in advance, and re-fried the minced meat to make a new topping, which made the whole bowl of noodles taste even better.
However, Ruan Qingshan did not receive such treatment. He just ate traditional yellow croaker noodles, and he didn't mind.
The rich and fragrant milky white soup is delicious and fresh. Yellow croaker itself does not have many bones. After being pan-fried and then stewed, the meat is soft and delicate. After eating a large bowl, he took the bowl into the kitchen and got another one.
He felt satisfied only after eating three bowls of soup and noodles. After the meal, he washed the dishes and chopsticks consciously.
Drinking the Dahongpao brewed by his master, Ruan Qingshan rubbed his stomach with satisfaction and said, "I really want to follow my teacher and master for the rest of my life."
Xu Manman laughed, "Your master is not your cook, but if you want to learn how to cook, you can consider asking your master to teach you."
Ruan Qingshan waved his hand. "Forget it. Cooking requires talent. I've been in Hong Kong for a few years and have tried to cook for myself, but until now, my cooking skills have only been limited to frying an egg without burning it."
"That's because you didn't study hard enough."
Thinking about the men in her Xu family, every one of them is capable of both housework and cooking. Their cooking skills were all trained by her, so she firmly believes that as long as one is willing to work hard, there is no good man who cannot learn to cook.
Ruan Qingshan said indifferently, "I'll just find a wife who can cook in the future."
This kind of male chauvinism made Xu Manman feel disgusted. "You're getting a wife just to have her cook for you? If you hold such a mindset, I think you'd better stay single for the rest of your life. Nowadays, everyone says that men and women are equal and women are independent. How can you have the nerve to let someone stay at home and wait on you?"
Hearing that the teacher was getting a little angry, Ruan Qingshan slid to his knees skillfully and said, "Teacher, I was wrong. I reflect on it. I am ashamed."
Xu Manman, who had been hoping for a lively debate, felt a little disappointed. "Tsk." How could he be defeated so quickly? That was boring.
After Xu Manman diverted his attention, Ruan Qingshan let out a long sigh and looked at his master with a slightly flattering smile.
Jin Zichu's expression remained unchanged. He picked up the fairness cup and filled Ruan Qingshan's empty teacup.
The teacher is usually very good-tempered. He may not be very caring towards them, but he fully supports them both materially and spiritually. However, when he gets angry, he can be a little scary.
It’s not that she is scary per se, but she made the teacher angry. The master is quite scary.
