"What dish should I cook?" An Hua looked embarrassed.
Zhou Meizhen suggested: "Just smash the cucumber, sprinkle some salt and sesame oil on it and mix it."
A woman who was on good terms with Ge Hongying said, "No, this is too simple. At least you have to be able to cook a dish to be considered a culinary skill."
Zhou Meiqi glared at her and said, "Zhang Zhaodi, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Zhang Zhaodi was not afraid of Zhou Meiqi, "I feel uncomfortable if I don't speak, so I have to speak!"
An Hua stopped the two from arguing, "How about this, I'll make one of my specialties, but I need a whole chicken. Will Sister Hongying be willing to let me do that?"
Does she have any specialties? Is this the specialty dish that burns the kitchen? Zhang Zhaodi couldn't help laughing out loud. Zhou Meiqi glared at her.
Ge Hongying hesitated when she heard An Hua's words. She did buy a chicken today for 6 yuan. It would be such a pity if it was wasted by An Hua.
But soon, Ge Hongying gritted her teeth and made up her mind - wasting the precious ingredients would better reflect An Hua's wastefulness!
"What's the big deal? Sister-in-law believes in you." Ge Hongying was obviously gloating and waiting for the show in her heart, but she said it sweetly.
An Hua smiled brightly, "Thank you so much for your trust in me, sister-in-law."
For some reason, Ge Hongying had a bad feeling in her heart.
An Hua said to Zhou Meiying, "Sister Meiying, I don't know how to kill a chicken. Can you help me kill it?"
Of course Zhou Meiying was happy to help her.
An Hua called Zhou Meiying's son Shi Xiaojun over and whispered in his ear for a while.
Shi Xiaojun patted his thin chest and shouted at the top of his voice: "Guarantee to complete the task!" After shouting, he ran out.
After the chicken was cooked, An Hua used a toothpick to poke some small holes in the chicken.
Zhou Meiqi looked at her actions in confusion, "Sister, what are you doing?"
An Hua said, "I plan to marinate the chicken first, so it will be easier to marinate."
Zhang Zhaodi slapped her thigh and said, "Don't say it, this method is good, I will pickle meat this way from now on!"
Zhou Meiqi rolled her eyes at her and asked An Huan, "Why marinate it? The chicken is fresh as is, there's no need to add any seasoning... What are you going to do?"
An Hua smiled and said, "Once I make it, my sister-in-law will know."
Still keeping it a secret.
An Huan rubbed the seasoning on the chicken and massaged it for a while, then fried some lean pork, diced mushrooms, and diced bamboo shoots with lard, stuffed them into the chicken's stomach, and finally covered the chicken in a pot, intending to let it marinate for a while longer.
Then, An Hua ran out of the room, and no one knew what she was doing.
Ge Hongying no longer had the heart to stare at her, and instead concentrated on helping Ge Hongxia.
She whispered in Ge Hongxia's ear, "Don't be nervous. With An Hua as your foil, you will definitely be in the spotlight. Don't be afraid that Director Li won't focus on you."
Ge Hongxia blushed so much that she turned around, picked up the knife and started to cut the vegetables with quick and skillful movements.
After a long time, An Hua finally came, followed by two children, Shi Xiaojun and Dong Dong, who were holding several large lotus leaves in their hands.
An Huan was also holding a basin in her hand, and the basin was filled with yellow... mud?
An Hua rolled the lotus leaves in hot water, then wrapped the marinated chicken in the lotus leaves, wrapped them tightly with cotton thread, and finally covered them with yellow mud and threw them into the stove.
Ge Hongying was very disdainful. An Hua couldn't cook, so she made these weird things to attract attention. But food is ultimately judged by the mouth, and what matters most is whether it tastes good in the mouth.
It's time to get off work, and the invited guests have arrived one after another.
The roasted chicken was taken out of the stove. The mud on the surface was burnt and cracked, and it looked gray. It didn't look like a delicacy at all.
Ge Hongying was completely relieved. An Hua was destined to be her sister's foil today.
