The old lady smiled and said, "I want to eat something else tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll make some pickled duck for grandma tomorrow, stew it until it's softer, and then stew a blood duck, so we can have two dishes with one duck." Zhang Hechen said with a smile.
The old lady obviously also liked it: "Grandma, I'm looking forward to eating something delicious tomorrow. Which dish is your hometown dish?"
As she spoke, the old lady stared at the dishes on the table.
"I'll pick some for grandma." Zhang Hechen picked up some thinly sliced bacon and handed it to the old lady. "Grandma, this bacon is thinly sliced and braised, so it's not hard to chew. Try it."
The old lady smiled and couldn't wait to eat a piece: "Hmm, thin, not hard to chew, delicious!"
The old man took a bite and said lightly: "It's okay, but it's far worse than Mrs. Yu's!"
"Grandpa is right." Zhang Hechen humbly accepted the criticism. "Sister Yu is a great cook. I still need to learn more."
"Tsk," said Xu Xiaodi disdainfully. "What's so great about being able to cook? A real man should know how to protect his woman, earn money to give her a good life, and not let her go hungry. That's the real skill!"
This remark caused everyone in the room to look at him sideways.
Although several elders wanted to test Zhang Hechen, what Xu Xiaodi said was really asking for a beating.
Father Xu said coldly, "Can you make one for me?"
“…”
Xu Xiaodi quickly leaned over and whispered, "Dad, we should unite our forces now!"
Father Xu continued in a cold tone, "I do want to unite the two, but you are such a jerk. You're so annoying! Your every word is like a beating!"
"You are prejudiced." Brother Xu was indignant.
"That's right," Father Xu said without disguising it. "Which of the idiotic things you've done doesn't make me prejudiced?"
Xu Xiaodi turned around and didn't want to talk anymore: "Humph, you are just prejudiced. There are 360 professions and every profession has its top talents. You are not right!"
"You can't even cook the most basic food, and you still want to be the top scholar? Tangyuan is about the same."
“…”
Xu Xiaodi was really hit hard and decided to stop talking. He felt that this family was not suitable for him and that he had the lowest status in the family. He wanted to run away from home.
Although he stopped talking, the old man still wanted to take the opportunity to test Zhang Hechen.
He doesn't like to lecture people at the dinner table, but who made Zhang Hechen want to marry his good granddaughter?
At this time, the father and son were on the same front, so Father Xu would help the old man from time to time. Little Brother Xu, who had originally not wanted to speak, quickly spoke again.
Fortunately, Brother Xu considered his words carefully this time and was not scolded.
Zhang Hechen dealt with it slowly. After understanding the personalities of the old man and Xu Xiaodi, he was no longer as nervous as when he first arrived.
But he still felt a little nervous when facing Mr. Xu. However, Mr. Xu was a very strict person, strict with everyone, and he gradually got used to it.
After the meal, everyone was quite happy, and Zhang Hechen was in a good mood too. He had gradually gotten to know the family's temperament and was becoming more and more confident. After the meal, he diligently washed the dishes. No matter what, diligence is always a good thing. Besides, if the Xu family didn't treat him as a family member, they wouldn't let him work.
The more polite you are, the more distant you become, and that's when things get difficult. It's actually much better now, after all, the Xu family is still willing to test him.
Xu's father ordered Xu's younger brother to wash the dishes together and not just eat without working.
This was also a tradition in the Xu family. When Yu's wife cooked, the children had to wash the dishes. In the past, when the eldest brother and Xu Danhua were away, it was the younger brother Xu who washed the dishes.
