He likes generous children like this.
That kind of shy and timid behavior makes people lose the desire to talk.
"Then let me tell you some interesting things that happened to me at work." Jian Shu winked at Gu Mingjing, and then started talking to Gu Zhan.
"That's perfect. Two years ago, your Uncle Zhao told me that a comrade in the cafeteria of your unit was trying to matchmake for you. He also said something happened afterwards, but he didn't go into details. I've been thinking about it and can't let it go. Can you tell me more about it?" Gu Zhan also became interested.
Jian Shu nodded, "This matter still needs to start from..."
“…”
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Gu Mingjing picked up a peeled apple and put it in his mouth, then took the remaining apples and pears into the kitchen.
He has to cook for the two ancestors in the family.
Li Gang glanced at the two people in the living room, then followed them into the kitchen, ready to help Gu Mingjing.
"Brother Li, you go out and have a rest, I'll take care of it." Gu Mingjing was looking through the things prepared at home.
These were all bought by Gu Zhan and Li Gang yesterday. He really didn't know what they were.
I was a little surprised when I saw it now. There were so many things, quite rich. It was hard for the old man to prepare all these things in just one day.
"It's okay. The chief is having a good chat with Comrade Jian. I'll come and help you, and it will help speed things up." Li Gang said.
Gu Mingjing thought so too. Cooking with two people is always much faster than cooking alone. It was getting late. Although there weren't as many people here as yesterday, except for Shushu, they were all grown men with big appetites. This meal was going to be a big project, so they had to hurry.
Otherwise, when it’s time for dinner, the food won’t be ready yet, and people will be hungry, which would be bad.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingjing no longer insisted, "Okay, I'll cook, Brother Li, you just help me."
"Okay!" Li Gang nodded in response.
Seeing that there were some peanuts and sunflower seeds among the things they prepared, Gu Mingjing put them on a plate and said, "Brother Li, you guys had a great harvest yesterday. There were so many good things."
Pork belly, spare ribs, pork bones, hairtail fish, a chicken, and finally a piece of beef.
I have to say, they really put a lot of thought into it, and prepared all the things that Jianshu likes to eat. Otherwise, according to people's habits today, who would buy pork belly? Of course, fat meat is more popular.
Li Gang was chopping bones and said without looking up, "Yesterday, the chief took me to several places and finally bought all these things. It was almost the New Year and the supply was abundant. Even with the tickets, I couldn't buy so many."
Gu Mingjing laughed and said, "This old man..." I have never seen him so enthusiastic before.
In the past, he and his brother went to spend the New Year with him, but they never enjoyed such treatment.
Seeing his actions, Li Gang reminded him: "Oh, by the way, there are a few packets of snacks and some candies in there. Take them out and let Comrade Jian have a taste."
Gu Mingjing searched around and found a few more packages of snacks, as well as some canned candies and other food.
He picked out a pack of Jianshu's favorite snacks and put them on the plate. "We'll be eating soon, so eat a little to taste it."
After delivering the things to the two people in the living room, Gu Mingjing returned to the kitchen.
After taking a look at the dishes, I quickly decided on the lunch menu.
Braised pork ribs, braised hairtail fish, beef stewed with potatoes, sauerkraut and pork belly stewed with vermicelli, cabbage stewed with tofu, and the small pear soup that Jianshu specifically requested.
If the weather is cold, it is better to eat steaming hot stew.
As for the staple food, let's just have rice, which Shushu likes. Pair it with some steamed buns made of two-grain flour, so you can choose to eat rice or noodles.
"Brother Li, cut the pork belly in half, and don't touch the remaining ribs and chicken. Save them for dinner." Gu Mingjing said.
Jianshu finally comes here, so his father must stay for dinner.
"Okay." Li Gang followed the chef's instructions.
The braised pork ribs with sauce and beef stew with potatoes took longer, so Gu Mingjing stewed them first and then started to prepare other ingredients.
As time passed, the smell of braised pork ribs and beef stew with potatoes dominated the entire kitchen, and then drifted out through the gap in the door.
The two people in the living room couldn't help but sniff, captivated by the fragrance.
"Hmm, it smells so good! It seems that this kid has some good cooking skills." Gu Zhan nodded involuntarily.
Jianshu agreed: "His craftsmanship is indeed very good."
Although it is not as good as hers, it is at least better than 90% of my male compatriots today.
It's much better than those men who don't even want to go into the kitchen.
Everyone always wants to be lazy sometimes, but Jianshu doesn't want to deal with the kitchen all his life without a break.
Seeing the satisfaction on Jian Shu's face, Gu Zhan smiled proudly and said, "This is all thanks to his mother's foresight. She trained him and his brother to cook since they were young. She said that no matter how successful they were in the future, as long as they learned a skill, they could at least make a living and wouldn't starve to death as a chef."
"Even if I don't become a chef in the future, I can still cook for my partner. Girls like men who can cook. If you learn to cook, you won't have trouble finding a wife."
"Aunt's ideas are really far-sighted, different from those of ordinary people." Jianshu was a little impressed.
You have to know that not only in this era, even a few decades ago, there was still the old idea that men should not go into the kitchen.
Being able to have such thoughts is already very open and advanced.
"Yes, she has always been like this, different from others!" Gu Zhan's voice was full of nostalgia.
Jianshu felt a little sad for a moment.
Love and separation are one of the three greatest pains in life.
Being separated from the one you love is sad just thinking about it.
Before Jianshu could figure out how to start, Gu Zhan walked out of the past on his own.
Sharing Gu Mingjing's embarrassing childhood stories with Jianshu, "Let me tell you, their mother asked the two brothers to cook. The eldest brother, being older and more mature, did as he was told. But he was the only one who couldn't sit still at his age. He had a lot of little thoughts and was always thinking about how to go out and play. He refused to waste time at the stove."
Seeing him so carefree, Jian Shu put aside her worries. When it came to regulating her emotions, she was definitely no match for these veterans who had emerged from the smoke of war.
"Then what? Did he run away?" she asked curiously.
"How is that possible? The moment this brat rolls his eyes, his mother knows what he's thinking. Every time, before he even runs out of the house, he's grabbed by the scruff of the neck and brought back by his mother." Gu Zhan smiled, looking down on him with disdain and full of contempt.
Jianshu could only read a few words from this expression:
Your mom is still mom!
