Chapter 3: Cooking Skills
Xiao Yunsheng said this, and then pulled Xu Qingmeng to tell her how to make a fire.
Yun Mo said in a baby voice,
"Sister-in-law, can I go see my brother?"
After hearing what Xiao Yunmo said, Xu Qingmeng recalled the scene in the morning and looked embarrassed. She poured a bowl of water and handed it to Yunmo.
"Go, check if your brother is awake and bring him a bowl of water."
Xu Qingmeng did not dare to forget the big boss in the room. She was already cooking porridge for him on the big stove.
Yun Mo hadn't come back yet, but Xu Qingmeng had already learned how to make a fire, and said to Xiao Yunsheng,
“Sister-in-law already knows how to light a fire, you can go out and play, or go out and play.”
"Sister-in-law, I'd better light the fire for you."
Xiao Yunsheng answered, still sitting in front of the stove.
Xu Qingmeng added dried chilies into the hot oil to bring out the aroma. Then Xu Qingmeng put the chopped potato shreds into the pan and began to stir-fry. When they were almost done, she began to add vinegar, soy sauce, and salt, and continued to stir-fry. Soon, a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds was ready.
Xu Qingmeng served the shredded potatoes and started to stir-fry the cabbage. The cabbage was simpler, with only some salt and soy sauce, making it light and refreshing.
Just as Xu Qingmeng put the dishes on the table, she heard the sound of a door opening in the front yard.
The Gu family food shop is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is the shop and the back is the living quarters. Although it is not very big, it is not small and very convenient, so there is no delay in opening a shop and doing business.
As soon as He crossed the threshold of the front yard, she smelled the fragrance of the dishes.
He paused, then looked at her kitchen in confusion.
Then He saw her fat wife coming out of the kitchen, smiling and saying,
"Mom, you're back."
He was confused, "Are you cooking?"
"Well, mom is tired from working, so hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
After so many days of marriage, except for the first day when I called her, I never called her again, let alone cooking for her. Every day she is either throwing a tantrum or sleeping. She is greedy and selfish, and makes a fuss almost every day.
If the fortune teller hadn't said that this man was her son's lucky star, she would have really harmed her eldest son, and she would not have been able to face her husband after his death.
Moreover, when she went out yesterday morning, Xu Qingmeng had a big quarrel with her. Now, not only did he call her, but she also became so well-behaved and even cooked for her.
When Gu Hongxin was alive, he never made her worry about family matters, which made her develop a simple character. Otherwise, she would not have believed the fortune teller and married the original owner Xu Qingmeng.
He had been through so much and had grown a lot, so she obviously didn't believe her and thought she was up to something again.
"Xu, what are you going to do?" He said angrily, but then her stomach started to growl.
"Mom, do you want to come in and try my food first? Your stomach is protesting." Xu Qingmeng's voice was gentle, no longer that loud one.
He was indeed hungry at this moment. This time she went out to wash clothes for someone, but because she damaged a piece of clothing, not only did she not get paid, but she also had to pay part of the money to the owner as compensation. So she had not eaten since this morning.
He came to the kitchen and looked at the dishes on the table, one was spicy and sour shredded potatoes, the other was stir-fried cabbage. Although the shredded potatoes were not difficult to cook, the knife skills were so poor that even her husband, who was still alive, could not have done it. It also looked very appetizing.
He swallowed her saliva, picked up the chopsticks half-doubtfully, picked up a potato shred and put it in her mouth. It was moderately sour and spicy, and crispy, making people want to eat more. He took another bite of the cabbage. Although there was no meat, it was also fragrant and delicious.
He looked at Xu Qingmeng in surprise and asked hesitantly, "Did you really do all this?"
Xiao Yunsheng came over from the stove and said impatiently,
"My sister-in-law made it. I watched her make it. She also made noodles for us. They were delicious, even better than what my father made."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Mom, eat the vegetables first. I'll go make you some noodles."
He coughed lightly, "It tastes good."
He doesn't know how to cook, but after all, her family has run a food shop for so many years, and she has been in charge of it for so many years, so she has some understanding of the kitchen.
And he only fried two dishes, simple potatoes and cabbage, but they were so delicious and fragrant. Even though he was so fat, he still had such good knife skills. It was obvious that his skills were extraordinary.
Xu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since my mother praises me so much, the business of the shop will definitely be good in the future."
He's hand that was picking up the food paused, and she quickly understood what idea Xu Qing had dreamed of: she wanted to open this food shop.
As long as she doesn't make things difficult for the family every day, everything will be fine.
Xu Qingmeng saw that there was no trace of smile on He's face, which clearly indicated hope, so he did not say anything.
She quickly prepared noodles for He and looked at Xiao Yunsheng, "Xiao Yunsheng, come and eat with mother. Don't eat too much. Eat some vegetables."
Xu Qingmeng estimated the appetite of the two little guys and thought that it would be enough for each of them to eat some vegetables, but not too much, otherwise their stomachs would feel uncomfortable.
Xu Qingmeng gave He a few more instructions, then went to get a bowl of porridge and took it to the east wing.
In the east wing, Gu Yunyi had already woken up and was drinking water. Xiao Yunmo was standing in front of the bed.
"sister in law!"
"Be good, go to the kitchen and eat with mom and sister, but only eat a little bit of food, or you'll have a stomachache if you eat too much."
When Xiao Yunmo heard this, he ran out immediately.
Gu Yunyi narrowed his eyes and looked at her, with murderous intent in his eyes. She felt a chill on her back, but then she pretended not to see it.
"You're awake. I made some porridge. Eat some first."
The man leaned against the bedpost, looking at her coldly.
"What do you want?"
Xu Qingmeng handed the bowl to him and said, "I don't want anything. The porridge is not hot anymore. Please eat quickly!"
Gu Yunyi picked up the spoon and stirred the bowl. The porridge was very thick and gave off a faint rice aroma, which made him feel hungry.
The first bite of the porridge has a delicate texture, moderate temperature, melts in the mouth, and has a hint of sweetness, making people want to eat a few more bites.
Gu Yunyi looked up at Xu Qingmeng, "Not bad." He said lightly, then continued to drink porridge with his head down.
Soon, the bowl of porridge was finished, and Gu Yunyi felt a lot more energetic.
"More?"
"You'd better stop playing tricks on me." Gu Yunyi stared at her and said.
"What tricks can I play? As a couple, isn't it normal for us to sleep together?" Xu Qingmeng was stunned and said shamelessly.
The original owner didn't seem to have done anything now, at most he drugged him and raped him, that's all? But considering the original owner's figure, it's no wonder that Gu Yunyi wanted to kill him. After all, this is a great shame for a man.
"What did you say?" Gu Yunyi shouted, thinking of last night, he wanted to kill her.
Xu Qingmeng coughed lightly, "It's nothing, nothing, you have a good rest, I'm going to wash the dishes."
