Chapter 66 Recognition

Only Zhang Cuilian and Gu Zhicheng were left in the house, and the two of them were still a little embarrassed for a while.

One lowered his head and clutched the corners of his skirt, and one coughed lightly and looked up at the roof of the shed. Zhang Cuilian turned around with a red face and tiptoed to the kitchen, looking at a large pile of vegetables and meat in the kitchen. Exhaled deeply, shook his head, and muttered in his heart that he was finally not embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhicheng walked in, his face was as usual as if nothing had happened. When they entered the kitchen, they began to wash the vegetables, and Zhang Cuilian didn't make a sound, and the two of them cooked quietly.

"Have you figured out what to do?" After the two of them finished washing the dishes, they looked at the meat, vegetables, fish and balls on the board and asked Gu Zhicheng.

Zhang Cuilian nodded: "There is probably a score, let's cut the dishes and put them on the plate first." Finally, check and fill in the gaps, and the seasonings are ready to come out, so you won't be in a hurry! ”

Gu Zhicheng agreed: "Yes, it's quite organized!" Zhang Cuilian pouted and muttered in her heart: I have been cooking for more than 20 years, and it would be stupid not to understand this.

The birthday banquet is similar to the New Year, with twelve dishes, eight meat and four vegetables. Zhang Cuilian looked at the time and put the bones in the pot to cook first. Gu's mother still has the same temper as in the previous life, and the guests at the banquet the next day never thought of preparing it the night before. She did a rough calculation, and it would be nice to be able to eat at noon.

Big bones and ribs are stewed over this side, and meat is stewed over there. Zhang Cuilian picked up the kitchen knife and jingled to cut vegetables and arrange dishes. After thinking about it, Gu Zhicheng, who was handing over the plate to him, said, "Do you have canned food at home?" If you have it, open a bottle as a cold dish for a while, and if you don't, you can go downstairs and buy a bottle! ”

Gu Zhicheng rarely goes home, where do you know if there is anything at home. While washing his hands, he replied: "I'd better buy it, it's faster to buy than to find!" ”

When he came back, before he asked what to do next, Zhang Cuilian ordered: "Will you meet?" ”

Gu Zhicheng said loudly: "Yes!" ”

Zhang Cuilian unceremoniously instructed while stir-frying: "Go and make noodles, you have to make longevity noodles for a while!" ”

Neither of the two of them bothered anyone, and Gu Zhicheng honestly met beside him. While watching Zhang Cuilian work neatly, I now see that she has fried braised pork in a big spoon, and the color and seasoning are all ready. I poured the meat into another steamer, stewed braised pork underneath, and put a curtain on top to make steamed fish.

The two dishes are stewed and steamed, which saves time and gas. Fortunately, Gu's father bought a lot of cooked food, including roast chicken, pig's head meat, sausages, and pork skin jelly. Zhang Cuilian mixed another home-cooked cold dish and made a sweet and sour pork ribs. Add boiled prawns and spicy tofu.

Gu Zhicheng watched Zhang Cuilian skillfully handle the carrots, lettuce, and cucumbers into circles or diamonds. Arrange the plate and shape it, then put it on top of the delicacies. It's all about color and flavor.,But what's wrong.。。

Gu Zhicheng counted: roast chicken, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, pork head, sausage with skin jelly, boiled prawns and cumin beef. Eight dishes are right, canned oranges, cold vegetables, and spicy tofu are only three ingredients. Twelve dishes are said, but there seems to be one missing.

Zhang Cuilian was stunned when asked, patted her head and was annoyed: "Oh, I think the cost of these dishes is too high." I thought about stir-frying shredded potatoes and forgot about it. ”

Gu Zhicheng frowned: "My mother had better be faced, these dishes are already very good." Why don't you stir up some spinach? ”

Zhang Cuilian looked at the carrots, rape, cucumbers and lettuce that she wasted in the kitchen. I saw the bottle of chili tempeh used to make spicy tofu again, and suddenly thought of a dish.

said with a smile: "Today I will let you see my ability to turn waste into treasure." ”

She put the rest of the carrots and other items on a plate and went to get a small potato and cut it into slices. Cut an eggplant, a few beans, and put the soaked fungus together.

Boiled the oil, poured in large pieces of green onions, ginger, garlic and chili and tempeh, and stir-fried, and then threw these leftover vegetables into it. As the fragrance wafted through the kitchen again, Gu Zhicheng nodded and praised: "How many years have you been a follower in front of the chef?" ”

Zhang Cuilian was sweating hotly, and heard Gu Zhicheng's ridicule. Watch him lean against the familiar kitchen door, just like usual. She forgot that this situation was not what it was back then, and replied with a smile: "You forget, how many years have I been cooking." How can this little thing be difficult for me? ”

Gu Zhicheng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately thought of Zhang Cuilian's previous life. How old is she older than her sister? can do housework skillfully, even better than his mother.

Watch her wipe the sweat from her neck while worrying about the big spoon. Under the white dress, there are many sad pasts hidden in the thin and smiling body.

Gu Zhicheng couldn't help but take out a white handkerchief from his trouser pocket, and wiped Zhang Cuilian's sweat with a distressed and careful face.

Immersed in this environment, Zhang Cuilian seems to have returned to the past. obediently tilted her head and let Gu Zhicheng wipe her sweat, and even turned her face to wipe the other side of her.

Gu Zhicheng faced such a generous Zhang Cuilian, and his heart was pounding.

After wiping off the sweat, Zhang Cuilian turned her face and continued to stir-fry. Gu Zhicheng was soaked as if he had run ten kilometers off-road.

At this time, the door opened, and the hearty laughter of the Gu family came in. Seeing the sumptuous lunch on the round table in the living room, everyone happily praised Zhang Cuilian's good cooking skills.

Gu Zhicheng hurriedly walked out, beckoning everyone to listen to his sister Gu Zhiqiu talk about what happened just now.

"Brother! It's a shame you didn't go. Dad just invited everyone to go boating, and we took pictures. It's just that you and Cuilian couldn't go, oops, otherwise we can have a group photo! Gu Zhiqiu also said that the photos could only be washed out in the afternoon, and the guests could take them home.

Zhang Cuilian finished frying the last dish, and when she brought it out, she saw that everyone remembered what year it was. suddenly thought that just now I was not shy, extremely cheeky, and let others wipe my face.

"Ahh Zhang Cuilian was holding the dishes there, as if she was frightened. Gu's mother walked over with a smile, took the dish in her hand and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Cuilian stood in place, her little face flushed, but she didn't speak. Gu Zhicheng knew that she suddenly remembered the intimacy between the two just now, and she was a little uncomfortable.

But Gu's mother thought it was crooked and put the dishes on the table. smiled and walked to Zhang Cuilian's side: "Let me tell you, this dress will give me face today." No one didn't look at me along the way, so I don't believe me. This time, several women asked me where I bought this dress! ”

Gu's mother said as she pulled Zhang Cuilian into her room, hung up the door and asked quietly, "Are you the one here?" It's okay, Auntie has toilet paper here! ”

Zhang Cuilian was quite surprised just now what this was going to do, but now she knows the reason. Fluttering a smile: "No, it suddenly occurred to me that I haven't rolled noodles for you yet." ”

Gu's mother raised her head and laughed: "Oh, what else should I do." It's okay, I ate noodles in the morning. ”

Zhang Cuilian opened the bedroom door and said with a smile: "The noodles are all reconciled, and there is no stewed rice." Big guys have to eat staple foods, too! ”

The two of them went into the kitchen and found that the noodles had already been rolled out and put there at some point. Gu's mother entered the kitchen and saw that it didn't look like cooking.

Zhang Cuilian thought about it at this time, when she was making a spicy fragrant pot. Gu Zhicheng was cleaning up behind her, and the garbage that should be dumped was poured out and the pot that should be brushed was brushed.

It's this noodle, and it's been rolled out early. The tacit understanding between the two made her mistakenly think that she was still the same as she was back then, so she let others wipe her sweat.

At this time, everyone called Zhang Cuilian to come over and eat together, looking at the table with all the colors and flavors. Everyone's stomachs were already hungry, and at this time they were even more cooing.

Zhang Cuilian was also not polite, and sat down next to Gu's mother. Wang Yazhi also deliberately gave up his position, shouting that Gu Zhicheng was next to Zhang Cuilian.

He also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I wanted to ask you just now." Is this girl the object of the city? Look at this craft, good guy has no trouble with a table of dishes. The clothes are also beautifully woven, and how many people have chased you all the way and asked where you bought them! ”

Gu Zhiqiu also nodded in agreement: "That's it, my mother said that it was woven by someone else." People thought my mom was too picky and wouldn't tell them. You roll your eyes and stare at me! Hmph, they can't buy it even if they have money! ”

Zhang Cuilian blushed and didn't dare to say yes or no, but Gu's mother didn't open her mouth to admit it. She is not sure in her heart, Zhang Cuilian is getting more and more like herself. But are the two children happy? You can't talk nonsense on this issue!

The Gu family was silent, and several women thought they were acquiescing. The sixth aunt nodded again and again: "This child is good, this child has a good job after having a culture and a diploma." He is also handsome, and he can work, so he has a good temper with you. ”

Zhang Cuilian said embarrassedly: "It's not like this! She didn't look up at Gu Zhicheng before she could feel a cold look shooting over.

"Auntie is very elegant, quite different, temperamental, and tasteful. I learned a lot from my aunt, but... Zhang Cuilian grinned: "Many people don't think this is useful!" ”

Zhang Cuilian diverted the topic, looked at Gu's mother and said: "It's like drinking coffee, people will think that you are a Chinese drinking that thing is not pretending to be foreign." When you eat, you should eat in a big gulp, and the more you chirp, the more you can express the flavor of the rice. I'm so well-behaved, but I seem to be a little family pretending to be fake! ”

This sentence reminded Gu's mother of her mother-in-law, and her behavior in her mother-in-law's house was looked down upon by those vulgar and ignorant sisters-in-law.

finally has a girl who has her own tastes, if she becomes her own daughter-in-law, at least there is someone in this family who stands on the united front with her.

"You don't have to deal with their ignorant people!" Gu's mother patted Zhang Cuilian's leg. smiled and said to Gu Zhicheng: "Cuilian has made so many dishes, why don't you pour her a glass of wine for me and thank her!" ”

Gu Zhicheng and Zhang Cuilian chuckled in their hearts, this is Gu's mother's approval of the two of them.

Dad Gu pursed his lips and looked at all this, picked up his wine glass and said to Zhang Cuilian: "Cuilian, don't be polite to this kid." We are all a family, he respects you, you continue! ”
