Chapter 171 Cucumber
An Xin made a total of five dishes tonight, including shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried pork slices with black fungus, braised pork offal and potatoes, stir-fried broccoli, and cold wild celery.
An Xin roughly explained to Chen Hongyan the cooking methods and key points of each dish, and demonstrated them on the spot. After all, Chen Hongyan was a housewife who cooked frequently. After a short while, she learned all the key points and secretly memorized them.
When all the dishes were out of the pot, Chen Hongyan stood by and said something to herself.
"Oh, it turns out there are so many tricks to cooking. Why didn't I know this before?"
Country women like them think that when they cook something, they just need to cook it, as long as it is not burnt or too unpalatable.
But after watching An Xin cook five dishes today, Chen Hongyan suddenly had some feelings about eating. It turns out that if cooking a meal or a dish is done well, it is not only a kind of enjoyment for the cook but also for the eater. After all, the five dishes cooked by her An Xin are so delicious that she feels hungry just by smelling them.
An Xin asked An Yang to bring the dishes to the table, and looking at her mother's educated expression, she encouraged her.
"Mom, China's food culture is extensive and profound. If you understand it well, you will naturally feel the joy of cooking."
As a senior foodie from later generations, An Xin has deep insights into the food industry!
Perhaps it was An Xin's encouragement at the moment that touched people's hearts, or perhaps it was because Chen Hongyan felt an unprecedented enthusiasm and excitement from An Xin's serious cooking process, Chen Hongyan suddenly expressed her opinion.
"Don't worry, I suddenly feel confident that I can fight for the position of chef for the exploration team."
An Xin looked at her mother's sudden burst of self-confidence and gave her a thumbs up in encouragement.
"That's good, Mom. I'm rooting for you!"
I didn't expect that teaching my mother how to cook a few dishes when I went home would inspire her ambition. This unexpected thing really surprised Anxin.
So Anxin's mood became particularly comfortable. This comfortable mood lasted until the two of them finished their meal at Chen Hongyan's house, and then returned to the exploration team's dormitory. Anxin was thinking while washing up in the bathroom.
Maybe it wasn't a bad thing for her to travel through time. At least the people and things around her were developing in a good direction. If things continued like this, in the near future, she should be able to get rid of the reputation of the so-called unlucky vixen.
Bai Yichen was lying on the bed, watching An Xin walking out of the bathroom in high spirits. He couldn't help but smile slightly, so he put down the book in his hand and asked softly.
"Is there anything that makes you so happy?"
When the two of them came back before, An Xin's mood was quite normal. Ever since she went back to Chen Hongyan's place for a meal, An Xin's mood inexplicably became high. Bai Yichen thought about it, but didn't find anything worth being happy about.
An Xin walked to the dressing table, took out the skin care products from it, and replied while wiping her face.
"Mom agreed to run for the chef position in the exploration team in a while."
This can be considered a big improvement in sales for a country woman, and it is something to be happy about.
What's more, she will go to the provincial capital tomorrow to deliver eight trucks and join her own fleet. Although she will have to take out a loan of 100,000 yuan for this, it can be considered a happy event!
"That's it?"
Bai Yichen looked up and down at An Xin's slender body with suspicion. Why did he feel that this young wife was hiding something from him and was happy on her own?
Keren Anxin replied calmly.
"Of course."
When An Xin finished applying the skin care products and lay flat on the bed, Bai Yichen was about to put his arm around An Xin as usual, but the woman who had just laid down couldn't help but scream.
"Oops, I almost forgot, I still have to make a facial mask!"
Bai Yichen's hands froze in the air and he said helplessly.
"What kind of facial mask? Why haven't I seen you do it before?"
Are you sure you didn't see him trying to hold his young wife in his arms and he was subconsciously trying to avoid it?
But An Xin stood up with a serious expression, pushed away the man who was lying on top of her, and ran away in a hurry, rummaging through the bag of vegetables she bought today, muttering to herself.
"Oh, I have to do a good job of applying a facial mask starting today."
Only Bai Yichen was left lying on the bed, confused, staring at An Xin's back.
"Making a facial mask?"
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, women are just trouble.
After a tiring day, he was just about to lie down on the bed with his wife in his arms, enjoying the warmth and tenderness of her warm bed, but his wife wanted to make a facial mask again.
Just as the man was complaining to himself, wondering if tonight's gentle country was going to be ruined, An Xin suddenly stood up, holding a small cucumber in her hand, and said to herself
“Oh, I found it!”
After saying that, he took the cucumber and hurried over there to deal with it.
Bai Yichen: “…”
Well, forgive him for not understanding women, he really couldn't think of any connection between the cucumber and the facial mask.
An Xin had already dealt with the cucumber in her hand, brought it over on a plate, and continued to lie flat in front of Bai Yichen, and began to put the cucumbers on her face one by one.
Bai Yichen stared at An Xin as she put cucumber slices on her face one by one, like a wooden man. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.
“Does applying cucumbers help the skin?”
How come he doesn't know? Oh, woman!
An Xin replied cautiously while putting cucumber on her face.
"Of course there are. Applying cucumbers can replenish moisture on a woman's face and can also nourish and whiten the skin. It has many benefits."
Having said that, An Xin continued to stick cucumbers on her face, glanced impatiently at the man next to her, and said directly.
"Oh, women, stop talking while you're applying a facial mask. Do you know that talking while applying a facial mask will cause wrinkles, and the effect of the mask will be ineffective?"
Bai Yichen: “…” Feeling like being disliked.
How could he know that he would not be allowed to talk after sticking a cucumber on her face, and that wrinkles would appear on her face? His young wife is as young as a green onion, so how could she have wrinkles? Even if she was ten or twenty years old, he would not think she would have any wrinkles without sticking cucumbers on her face.
After all, An Xin's beauty is well-known in this area. Not only is her face beautiful, but her body is also very hot. He has experienced it personally, and he still feels hot when he thinks about it now.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been nicknamed a vixen. Fortunately, this vixen has now been subdued by him.
When Bai Yichen thought that this vixen in front of him would only confuse him in the future, his mood improved for no reason, and he seemed to be more tolerant of An Xin's behavior of sticking the cucumber.
So, the man, who was suddenly in a very good mood, didn't care that An Xin's face was covered with cucumbers, and directly hugged An Xin in his arms and fell asleep contentedly.
The result was that An Xin slept well until the next day, and when she woke up, she found that her whole body was covered with cucumbers, even a few cucumbers were stuck on Bai Yichen's strong chest.
