Chapter 394 395. Free Meal
Gu Wenheng immediately shook his head and refused, "Even if the acne on your cousin's face has been alleviated by using soap, it is only temporary. You should take her to see a doctor instead of focusing on the soap."
"But my sister insisted that it was because of the limited edition sulfur soap that reduced the acne on her face.
Your store doesn't have this soap now, and she is anxious all day long.
After finding out about my relationship with you, they came to my yard to make a scene.
I was pestered so much that I asked you out today. I wanted to ask my sister-in-law if she could spare some money for me."
Gu Wenheng really didn't know much about the types of soaps that Jin Qianqian made, and he couldn't answer him for the time being.
"I have to go back and ask. You know I'm in the Imperial Academy all day, so I don't know much about these things at home."
Shan Ke'an said, "It just so happens that I haven't visited your house for a long time, and I really miss the food there. Let's change our route now since we haven't ordered any food yet."
"..." Gu Wenheng, "You said you would treat me to a banquet, but I didn't expect that I would have to pay for the meal in the end."
"It's because the dishes in your house are always so unique that there are always surprises every time I go there. I haven't been to your house for a meal for a while. I guess I can satisfy my craving again this time." The more he spoke, the more Dan Ke'an felt that his proposal was really great.
He didn't even need Gu Wenheng to lead the way. He waved his hand to let the waiter go down, and he led the way out.
Gu Wenheng shook his head helplessly and followed him back home.
The weather is getting colder. Jin Qianqian asked someone to prepare a pot today and is taking the old lady and the others to make mutton hotpot.
It happened that the housekeeper went out to buy today and met a merchant selling sheep. He bought more than ten at one time.
Jin Qianqian was just looking for something delicious to eat, so she asked the housekeeper to take out the double-boiled hotpot that she had specially prepared, and then she personally led the kitchen to cook the hotpot base, just enough to help everyone in the mansion get rid of the cold.
"It's only my seventh brother's wife who knows how to cook these dishes," Gu Yuanshui scooped up half a bowl of beef with a serving chopstick and ate it with the dipping sauce while sweating profusely.
Li Cuicui also chose the food that was easy to digest. She took some food from the soup pot and said to Gu Yuanshui again, "You stay in the mansion all day long. You almost ate yourself into a ball in such a short time. You should control yourself, otherwise the children won't recognize you when you go back."
Gu Yuanshui swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "Mom, you are exaggerating. It's just that the weather is cold, so I put on an extra cotton-padded jacket. It's not as exaggerated as you say.
Besides, you know that my wife's cooking skills are really not good enough. When I go back home to hibernate during the winter, my weight will drop off. You should feel sorry for your son and let me take the opportunity to have more sex."
Jin Qianqian and Li Cuicui were amused by his exaggerated expression. "You should let your wife hear this, but this year you don't have to do it like in previous years. Haven't you already hired a cook?"
Gu Yuanshui waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "The maid at home is no match for the maid here at my brother's house. If it weren't for the distance, I would have asked the maid at home to come over and learn from her."
Jin Qianqian smiled and said, "If Fourth Brother likes it, I'll have someone write down all these recipes so you can satisfy your craving when you go back."
Gu Yuanshui set his eyes on the fish balls in the pot again, and while scooping them out, he did not forget to return, "Forget it. Your nephew is the only one at home, and he can still read a few words. The boy would rather play outside than go to school. How can he have the patience to sit down and watch the kitchen maids prepare the dishes word by word?"
Jin Qianqian noticed Gu Lehuan who was silent at the side. Seeing him put down his chopsticks and stare at the pot, she asked, "Lehuan, are you not used to it?"
Gu Lehuan immediately came to his senses and said, "No, it's fine."
After saying that, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
Li Cuicui glared at him with a look of disappointment, but immediately turned her face into a smile and added some fish balls and tofu without chili to Luo Luo's bowl.
As soon as Gu Wenheng entered the mansion, he led people directly to the dining hall and found that all the family members were gathered there.
Smelling the spicy aroma wafting in the air, Dan Kenan swallowed his saliva in an ungraceful manner and then bowed to Li Cuicui.
"You haven't eaten yet?" Li Cuicui was confused. Didn't her son say that he had an appointment outside? Why did he come home at this time?
But she still greeted people as usual, "If you don't mind, let's use it together..."
"I don't mind, I don't mind," Before Li Cuicui could come to her senses, someone was standing at the table opposite her.
Jin Qianqian smiled and asked the housekeeper to bring more bowls and chopsticks, and told the kitchen to prepare more dishes. Then she called Shan Ke'an, "If you are not used to it, Mr. Shan, I will ask the kitchen to make some more for you."
"Are you insulting me, sister-in-law? I've never been picky about food, and it's good like this. There's fish and meat, so the kitchen doesn't have to work so hard."
Are you kidding? When he came in, he saw them eating with relish. These novel dishes were not even tasted properly by him yet. How could he possibly eat food that he was already tired of?
Jin Qianqian was just asking casually because she knew that this person had a good personality and was never picky about food.
Gu Wenheng: "..." Does that mean you are not picky about food? You have brought all of them to our house.
Li Cuicui, in keeping with her hospitable habit, invited Shan Kenan to start eating as soon as the dishes were placed on the table.
Since Dan Ke'an gained weight, he has become round and plump, and always has a smile on his face, making him the favorite of the elderly.
As if he knew his advantage, he looked at Li Cuicui and grinned, "Old Madam, you don't have to greet me. Wen Heng and I have a long-standing friendship. Just don't be disgusted by my eating too much."
Li Cuicui, "It's a blessing to be able to eat this. Wait a minute, you have to eat more. Isn't it that we are not hospitable enough?"
"...Well, I won't be polite," Shan Ke'an could no longer hold back. If he didn't let himself speak, his hands would be out of control.
Gu Wenheng sat down next to Jin Qianqian, and did not forget to help Jin Qianqian scoop some of her favorite mutton before starting to eat.
Dan Ke'an was conquered by the pot from the first bite, and forgot all about his cousin and soap.
He was seen picking up and putting down his chopsticks, eating with great enjoyment. Even Gu Lehuan, who had a worried look on his face, was moved and instantly joined the ranks of grabbing food.
When everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, they were found to be holding their stomachs, as they were all full.
"The chef in your house is really good at cooking. The taste is so delicious." Shan Ke'an rolled his eyes and looked at Jin Qianqian, showing extra flattery.
Jin Qianqian immediately knew what he was going to say, and directly instructed Qingmei who was already waiting on the side, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a portion of the base ingredients that were fried today, and you can also tell Mr. Shan's servant the recipe."
