Zheng Zening stayed to chat with Zhang Shaoyuan, while Fan Yu and Su Wen went to the other side to help Geng Ailing cook.
This was Su Wen's first time at Fan Xi's place. Seeing the skirt being made on the sewing machine look just like the one Fan Xi had designed for her, she couldn't help but walk over to stare at it for a moment longer. Then, in surprise, she asked, "Li Xi, is that skirt on the sewing machine made for me?"
"Well, it's almost done. I'll give it to you after I iron the edges!"
"I was worried the real thing wouldn't look as good as the drawing, but it turned out so beautifully! I can't help but want to urge you to finish it quickly!"
"Hahaha, you're really impatient. Don't worry, it will be done soon. I'll get it done for you after dinner and you can wear it this afternoon!"
After chatting for a while, the two of them started to help in the kitchen.
Although Geng Ailing is a good cook, her dishes are relatively traditional and she is reluctant to use oil. After all, she has always lived in the countryside and has not seen much of the world.
She fried potatoes, stewed some vegetables, and made a cold dish of hot and sour bamboo shoots, Fan Xi's favorite. She wanted to make stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, but Fan Xi stopped her.
Fan Xi felt in good physical condition today and didn't feel any nausea, so he decided to show off his cooking skills himself.
She cut the lean meat into strips and made sweet and sour pork tenderloin. Then she remembered that Geng Ailing had praised the delicious braised pork at the state-owned restaurant last time, so she cut the remaining fatty pork into cubes and made a dish of crispy and fragrant braised pork. Finally, she stir-fried various peppers with eggs, garlic sprouts, and minced pork to make a super delicious grandma's dish.
Because the pot was always occupied by cooking and there was no time to cook rice, Fan Xi took a large aluminum basin and went downstairs to the state-owned restaurant to pack up a pound and a half of rice. She specifically asked for an extra half pound, thinking that if there was any leftovers, she could make fried rice with eggs in the evening.
Who would have thought that so much rice would be almost finished? As they ate, they kept praising today’s dishes for being so delicious, especially the grandma’s dish. Everyone was slurping their lips while eating!
The food was so delicious! It instantly made Fan Xi feel full...
Especially after Zheng Zening knew that these dishes were made by Fan Xi, he was so excited as if he had found a treasure. He ate two more bowls of rice than before, and his stomach was about to burst.
He didn't expect that Fan Xi could not only paint and make clothes, but also cook delicious food. His favorability towards Fan Xi reached its peak!
Fan Xi was also very satisfied with his meal today. He ate a lot of the dish of spicy and sour bamboo shoots that Geng Ailing made.
Zheng Zening, who was sitting nearby, noticed that Fan Xi was only eating bamboo shoots and hadn't eaten much of the other dishes for several hours. He thought Fan Xi was worried that there wouldn't be enough food, so he picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and kindly picked up a piece of braised pork for Fan Xi...
"Comrade Fan, you're too thin. You need to eat more meat!"
Su Wen, who was standing by, also said, "That's right, you worked so hard to make this food, but you haven't even had a bite yet. We've almost finished it all. You should eat more!"
After saying that, she also put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Fan Xi's bowl.
Fan Xi knew that she had been getting nauseous after eating meat recently, so she didn't dare taste the food herself when cooking, and asked Geng Ailing to help her taste the saltiness. Now that everyone was looking at her, she also wanted to know how her cooking would taste today.
She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in her mouth...
It's sour and sweet, tastes very good, and Fan was very happy to eat it!
Then she tentatively put the braised pork Zheng Zening had picked up for her into her mouth and started chewing it. The result was terrible...
