Chapter Seventy-Five: Demonstrating Cooking Skills
After Cheng Xiufen, Li Yongting and others left, only Wang Guizhi and Li Yongchang were left in the huge living room for a while.
The originally lively living room is now silent with only two people left, and this living room is so quiet that you can even hear a pin falling. Wang Guizhi seems to be able to hear her "plopping" heartbeat.
She remembered what happened before, and Li Yongchang told her that she was his object.
Wang Guizhi and Li Yongchang were married by their parents in their last life, and the two of them respected each other at the beginning, until later the two really determined each other's intentions, and Li Yongchang did not confess to her. Wang Guizhi has no experience of being chased, nor has he been confessed.
She felt that as long as Li Yongchang said a word now, her face would be as hot as fire.
"I went to the kitchen to cook. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Yongchang.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of the two people, Wang Guizhi walked quickly to the kitchen under the pretext of cooking.
"I'm here to help, too. Li Yongchang heard her say this, and hurriedly followed.
The conditions of Li Yongchang's house are very good, and Cheng Xiufen also likes to delve into baking and cooking in her free time, and their kitchen has kitchenware, spices, and ingredients. Li Haoqiang's family is more because their family runs a restaurant, while Li Yongchang's family can have everything from an ordinary family, which shows how rich their family is.
And Wang Guizhi looked at all this and couldn't help but feel a lot more familiar.
In her previous life, she cooked countless meals by herself in this small kitchen.
Wang Guizhi didn't want to make her mother-in-law Cheng Xiufen angry in her previous life, so she didn't mess around with things, and she cooked completely according to the objects placed by Cheng Xiufen. So there is not much difference between the kitchen now and the kitchen in the previous life.
She took out her apron from behind the door with ease and put it on herself.
"I'll send it for you," Li Yongchang saw that Wang Guizhi was going to tie an apron, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "It's a bow pair." ”
The first time he came to the kitchen to help, he was naturally very unfamiliar, and he was afraid that something would make Wang Guizhi laugh at him.
After all, men want to behave well in front of the women they like.
"That's right," Wang Guizhi nodded, she said, "Fight tighter, if you drop halfway, you will be in trouble." ”
After Li Yongchang listened, his hands touched the knot, due to the height difference, he could only bend down to tie the rope to Wang Guizhi, he looked serious and focused, as if he was treating treasures.
However, Wang Guizhi is indeed a treasure, a treasure that belongs to him alone.
Wang Guizhi and Li Yongchang were so close that she seemed to be able to smell the smell coming from the man's body and feel the warm breath on the tip of his nose. His hand touched Wang Guizhi's back from time to time, Wang Guizhi had a soft feeling, and now her face turned red again. She pursed her lips, trying to keep herself on her feet.
Obviously, it was only a dozen seconds, but Wang Guizhi felt that it was about a century.
When Li Yongchang helped her tie her apron, she ran to the sink as fast as she could.
Wang Guizhi washed her hands with water, and she patted her face with water, wanting to dissipate the heat on her face.
She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and felt her heart return to normal, before she began to prepare.
What should I do?
Wang Guizhi fell into deep thought.
After all, today is Cheng Xiufen's birthday, and this birthday naturally has to be grander, first of all, big fish and meat are indispensable, and the best dishes at the birthday banquet have more meaning. Longevity noodles are also indispensable.
Wang Guizhi thought for a moment and then started to move.
She decided to make braised lion's head, shredded fish-flavored pork, fried dumplings with eggs, steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli, crab roe tofu, sweet and sour pork ribs, pot wrapped pork, spicy pig's trotters, squirrel fish, goose broth, baby cabbage in soup, ground three fresh, stewed chicken soup, hot and sour shredded potatoes and king oyster mushrooms in sauce.
Wang Guizhi adjusted the filling of the dumplings and taught Li Yongchang how to make dumplings. Li Yongchang is also quite hands-on, and he quickly learned to make dumplings.
After Wang Guizhi asked him to make dumplings, he went to prepare other dishes. She planned to make stewed chicken soup first, after all, chicken soup would be stewed for a long time. She puts the washed and skinned chicken into the water and then tops it with spices in turn. After the water boiled, she added some cooking wine and vinegar to remove the smell, and then went to prepare something else.
Next, she is going to make a Su dish, which is squirrel guiyu. The dish of squirrel and osmanthus fish can be said to be loved by men, women and children, and Wang Guizhi himself likes it very much. She washed the fish, then used a knife to cut the bones on the back of the fish, leaving a small spine at the tail. After the fish is deboned, the skin is spread out face down, and the oblique knife is used to cut it into a flower knife, and an opening is made at the tail to pull the tail out of the knife. Wang Guizhi's knife skills are very good, swish, Li Yongchang looked up, and felt that he was like a professional chef in front of him. Sprinkle the fish body with seasoning and coat it well. After the pot is heated, the oil is poured in, the cut fish is dipped in a little starch, and fried in the oil pan for a few minutes, and then the fish head that has just been cut is dipped in starch, put it in the oil pan and fried, fried until it is golden brown, and the whole fish is put on the plate, and then the pine nuts are put in the oil pan, and after cooking, take them out, and put them in a small bowl for later use. Then, leave a little oil, tomato sauce and other seasonings in the wok and pour it over the fish and sprinkle pine nuts. A delicious dish of squirrel fish is ready.
At this time, Li Yongchang also wrapped dumplings. Wang Guizhi asked him to wash some food, and brought the dumplings wrapped by Li Yongchang himself. She puts oil in a frying pan, heats it, and then puts the dumplings into the pan in turn. After frying on low heat for a while, pour in water again and cover; Cover the pan and fry until the water is dry. Then she cracked two more eggs and added some salt, poured the egg mixture down the edge of the pan, and sprinkled with chopped green onions and black sesame seeds. Wait until the egg wash is fully ripe and place on a plate.
Li Yongchang didn't dare to say a word when he saw Wang Guizhi cooking, for fear that he would disturb her, and he was afraid that she would be distracted and splash oil on her body because of herself. Wang Guizhi is very skilled in cooking in an orderly manner, and the more Li Yongchang looks at her, the more he feels sorry for her.
Although capable is capable, it can also be seen that Wang Guizhi has always been the one who does housework in his biological parents' house. And according to what she told herself in her previous letters, her biological parents were not good to her and treated her as a slave.
And Wang Guizhi was immersed in the joy of cooking, and for a while he forgot that he and Li Yongchang had not really determined their relationship. She regarded him as Li Yongchang, who had lived with her for more than 20 years in her previous life, and she was merciless when she aroused him, asking him to wash vegetables for a while and chopping vegetables for a while. The name also directly called him "Yongchang".
Li Yongchang enjoyed her instructions very much, he felt that he and Wang Guizhi seemed to have known each other in their previous lives, and they had a very tacit understanding of each other. Li Yongchang felt that he and Wang Guizhi were a natural pair.
In a short time, Wang Guizhi made fifteen dishes.
Wang Guizhi looked at the fifteen dishes on the table and suddenly pondered.
It is said that good things come in pairs. Wang Guizhi has a custom in his family, that is, even numbers are better than odd numbers, Wang Guizhi has to serve two or four small spoons to Zhao Huixiu's rice, and if he holds three spoons, he will definitely be scolded by Zhao Huixiu.
Cheng Xiufen is a good-looking person, if such a mistake happens, her goodwill may plummet in her heart, after all, this is her birthday party.
"What's wrong?" Li Yongchang couldn't help but ask when he saw Wang Guizhi looking seriously thinking.
"I'm thinking, we made fifteen dishes, do you want to make another one?" Wang Guizhi proposed to him, she hadn't come back to her senses at this time, "Good things come in pairs, this dish is still sixteen, it has a meaning and it is very good." ”
"Yes," Li Yongchang naturally agreed with Wang Guizhi's proposal, "But what else do you have to do?"
Wang Guizhi's round apricot eyes made a circle, and thought of a dish: "Then make another radish ribbon fish soup, this is delicious!"
"That's good, I haven't eaten this dish yet," Li Yongchang looked at Wang Guizhi, he felt that his vision was really good, "I'm waiting for you to make it for us to eat." ”
Wang Guizhi peeled and rubbed the radish into shreds, then washed the hairtail and cut it into sections, poured a little oil into the pot, added the shredded radish that had been made before and fried it slightly, then added the hairtail segments, added condiments and water to make the soup thick and thick, then seasoned, then added water starch to boil, and finally turned off the fire, put it on a plate and sprinkle it with chopped green onions.
A scent suddenly filled the room.
After Wang Guizhi finished cooking the last dish, it was already too hot. She had to be glad that she came early, so many dishes took her own morning, if she came at noon, it would be about three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Yongchang saw that Wang Guizhi was covered with a layer of sweat on his forehead, and hesitated for a moment, but he still took his sleeve to wipe Wang Guizhi's sweat. He was afraid that Wang Guizhi would avoid it, so he was a little nervous.
Fortunately, Wang Guizhi thought it was his previous life at this time, and he thought that Li Yongchang next to him was Li Yongchang, who was in his forties in his previous life, and he didn't notice these abnormalities, nor did he notice these details. After all, Li Yongchang in his previous life often helped her wipe her sweat when she was cooking.
Li Yongchang saw that Wang Guizhi did not reject him, and he was also a lot more relaxed, so he helped Wang Guizhi wipe his sweat with confidence.
And at this moment, the door opened.
Cheng Xiufen's hearty laughter came in, and Wang Guizhi was about to go out and bring the dishes to the table.
She came out of the kitchen and happened to meet Cheng Xiufen. Cheng Xiufen looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, and was naturally very happy, this dish was so sumptuous, the guests must love to eat it.
Cheng Xiufen took the plate and put it on the dining table, saw the sweat on Wang Guizhi's face, wiped it for her with a handkerchief, and pulled her again, and said, "Guizhi, it's hard for you to help me cook so many dishes on my birthday." ”
Wang Guizhi shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Auntie, I'm happy to help you." ”
Cheng Xiufen thought of her son Li Yongchang again, and immediately leaned into Wang Guizhi's ear and said: "Guizhi, my son did anything wrong or embarrassed when he started in the kitchen for the first time? Or did he bully you, tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you teach him a lesson!"
Wang Guizhi shook his head again and again and said, "No, no, Yongchang ......."
However, before Wang Guizhi finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that Li Yongchang had helped her wipe her sweat just now! Moreover, in the process of cooking, she had always regarded the current Li Yongchang as the previous Li Yongchang, and she couldn't help screaming.
"Ahh
"Ouch, what's wrong with you, girl?" Cheng Xiufen saw Wang Guizhi suddenly scream, not understanding what was going on.
Wang Guizhi couldn't help blushing complacently when she thought of her intimate action with Li Yongchang just now.
Cheng Xiufen saw the changes in Wang Guizhi's eyes, and she wondered, could it be that Wang Guizhi came to the moon and soiled her pants.
Thinking so, she hurriedly leaned into Wang Guizhi's ear, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, isn't it just the menstrual affair?" Auntie has a change of clothes here. ”
When Wang Guizhi heard Cheng Xiufen say this, she couldn't cry or laugh, but she didn't expect Cheng Xiufen to stick her shyness just now as a menstrual period to her pants. Wang Guizhi waved his hand again and again and said, "Auntie, it's not what you think." It just occurred to me that I had forgotten to hand in the paper. ”
"Ah, it doesn't matter now, right?" Cheng Xiufen was a little panicked when she heard Wang Guizhi say that she forgot to hand in the manuscript, and she thought that she might have forgotten by letting Wang Guizhi cook here.
"It's okay, Auntie," Wang Guizhi shook his head and lied casually, "The editor is very good to me, and it's okay to send it tomorrow." ”
In order not to let Cheng Xiufen continue to worry about this matter, Wang Guizhi began to change the topic.
"Auntie, you see, these are all dishes I cook. Wang Guizhi began to show Cheng Xiufen the dishes she cooked.
"Ouch, these dishes look so good, let's hurry up and eat. Sure enough, Cheng Xiufen, who had gone out for a walk, was also hungry, and hurriedly called someone to open the meal.
Wang Guizhi's dishes were set on a large table. The dishes she cooks are full of color, flavor, and shape, and some of them are something that Cheng Xiufen has never seen.
Cheng Xiufen looked at the fish-like dish, and asked Wang Guizhi curiously: "Guizhi, what is this? Is it fish?"
"Auntie, you can taste it and you'll know. Wang Guizhi didn't say it explicitly, but smiled and let Cheng Xiufen taste a bite of the dish.
Cheng Xiufen took a piece of vegetable and put it in her mouth. The fish is crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the sweet and sour tomato juice makes this dish delicious.
"Hmm, it's delicious!" Cheng Xiufen's eyes suddenly lit up, "This beet can also be made like this!"
"Auntie, this dish is called squirrel Guiyu, and it is a Su dish. Wang Guizhi explained with a smile.
"Sweet, then I'll eat it too!" Li Yongting became excited when she heard the sweetness, she liked sweets very much, and immediately took a bite, "This fish is delicious!
The guests also praised Wang Guizhi's delicious food.
Cheng Xiufen was embarrassed to see Wang Guizhi making so many colors at the dining table. She thought about it and leaned into the ear of her son Li Yongchang: "Son, you have to thank Wang Guizhi for me in the future." ”
Li Yongchang listened to Cheng Xiufen's words, and suddenly realized that this was his mother, and acquiesced in their relationship.
It turned out that after Cheng Xiufen went out, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that her son's proposal to help Wang Guizhi was a little wrong, and later realized that her son had seen Wang Guizhi.
She has long wanted Wang Guizhi to be her daughter-in-law, and she wants to promote this beautiful thing.
At the dinner table, Li Yongchang and Wang Guizhi secretly sent Qiubo from time to time, and Cheng Xiufen, Li Zicheng and Li Yongting all watched their every move.
Li Zicheng also had a rare smile, he looked at the pair in front of him and said, "Guizhi, thank you for making so many dishes, you will treat this place as your own home in the future." ”
