Chapter 416: Zhen Jiabao Learns to Cook Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
Since I even know about running away from home, it means that there must be her eyeliner in the Xishan Villa, so how can I not know what level of cooking I have, I think she must have done it on purpose. ”
Standing at the door of the kitchen and muttering for a long time, Zhen Jiabao mustered up the courage and made up his mind to knock on the kitchen door.
Someone immediately came to open the door, and the kitchen manager Chen's mother, who was greeted by Helian Wei early, was a kind middle-aged woman, from the vicissitudes of life to her hands, it showed that this was a good hand at work, and she was also cool when she spoke and did things.
After opening the door, as soon as she saw Zhen Jiabao standing in front of the door, Chen's mother immediately reacted that this was the newlywed wife brought back by Helian Quan, and welcomed people in with a respectful and not flattering smile.
After Zhen Jiabao entered the door, he found that the kitchen was not only a kitchen, but also a courtyard, separated by several rooms on the left and right, and a wooden sign was hung next to the door of each room, on which the purpose of various rooms was marked.
In the middle of the yard, there are piles of vegetables and the like, and people keep coming in through another door in the yard and moving things into the yard intermittently.
Chen's mother was extremely enthusiastic about Zhen Jiabao, and since Zhen Jiabao had been sent over, she didn't talk too much nonsense, so she directly dragged Zhen Jiabao around the yard twice to familiarize her with the layout here, and by the way, she also took Zhen Jiabao to the vegetable garden in the backyard to have a look.
Zhen Jiabao only then knew that the vegetables used by the Helian family to cook every day were basically grown by themselves, and even the meat was freshly delivered every day from the special farm of the Helian family next to it to ensure health and safety.
So when Zhen Jiabao finally came to the kitchen door, he saw the scene of Zhen Jiabao learning to choose vegetables next to Chen's mother.
Zhen Jiabao had never done this kind of thing before, even if he cooked a meal for Helian Quan when he was in Xishan Villa, the chef got the raw materials first, and watched Zhen Jiabao operate step by step on the side, every vegetable leaf was washed and picked by the chef first, where was Zhen Jiabao's turn to do it himself.
Therefore, Zhen Jiabao, who was learning to pick vegetables with Mother Chen, was still slightly interested, not to mention that he had already boasted with Aunt Helian Wei that he must successfully complete the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner task, and Zhen Jiabao would try his best even if he had no bottom in his heart.
Chen's mother obviously has a better and better attitude towards Zhen Jiabao, but Zhen Jiabao has a harmless face, which makes an elder like Chen's mother like it at a glance, and Zhen Jiabao is not arrogant because of his identity, but is very humble.
"This dish, only ...... left Alas, young master, why are you here! ”
Chen's mother was still chattering and teaching Zhen Jiabao the skills of picking vegetables, and it happened that she caught a glimpse of a figure coming from afar, and when she saw that it was Helian Quan, who she hadn't seen for a long time, she immediately greeted her, and then looked at Zhen Jiabao with red cheeks.
"In the end, the young master and the young lady are still sweet newlyweds, and the young master is reluctant to see the young lady for a while, which really makes Chen's mother envious."
Chen's mother clapped her hands, picked up a rag next to her and wiped her hands by the way, and simply asked Zhen Jiabao to follow Helianquan back.
"Tomorrow the young lady will come over again, and it just so happens that I will also prepare the recipe for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and you can learn faster."
Zhen Jiabao has a very good impression of the enthusiastic Chen's mother, and his cheeks are crimson in front of Chen's mother, and he looks extremely shy.
But as soon as he was taken out of the kitchen by Helian Quan, Zhen Jiabao regained his nature, directly pursed his eyes and glared, and settled accounts with Helian Quan.
"You said you wouldn't let anyone bully me, but I was sent to the kitchen on my first day here......
examine
Jiabao leaned on Helian Quan aggrievedly and complained: "This is not good, Helian Quan, let me tell you, it's not that I'm lazy and don't want to work to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and you don't know my level of cooking...... I'm really afraid that I'll mess up the first year I came back with you. ”
Zhen Jiabao's worries are indeed not unreasonable, Helian Quan also thought so in his heart when he knew that his aunt used this method to test Zhen Jiabao.
However, in the face of Zhen Jiabao, Helian Quan couldn't say that this was just a test, and could only comfort: "It's just a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, even if you prepare carefully, even if the final result is unsatisfactory, the efforts in the process cannot be ignored." ”
What's more, her aunt won't really let her prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at all, even if Zhen Jiabao can really make a decent meal in the end, I'm afraid Helian Wei won't really let her cook it herself.
Zhen Jiabao was slightly relieved when he heard Helianquan's comfort, but after thinking about it, he felt that Helianquan's words were no different from not saying them, so he became even more depressed.
"Helian Quan, does my aunt really dislike me?"
Although Zhen Jiabao is no longer entangled in the matter of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he is still worried about Helian Wei's attitude.
Suddenly remembered that Helian Wei picked his nose and eyes at herself, and accused herself of marrying Helian Quan for money and power, so she viciously pinched the inside of Helian Quan's arm in a fit of anger, but she was reluctant to really work hard, but she choked herself enough.
Helian Quan looked at Zhen Jiabao's puffed face inexplicably, and didn't understand what kind of anger he was angry about just coaxing this person?
"Anyway, I can see it, if a person from a small family like me can marry you, even if it is Gao Pan, where is he qualified to pick this and that."
Zhen Jiabao said sourly, while secretly staring at Helian Quan's reaction with his spare eyes.
Helian Quan then realized why Zhen Jiabao was unhappy, and it must have been his aunt's posture in front of Zhen Jiabao that stimulated the young heart of the little girl in front of him.
"Even if others don't know, you yourself should know how I treat you, and where does the high climb between me and you come from? You're just an ugly daughter-in-law who wants to see your in-laws now, and you can't hide even if you marry a poor bastard. ”
Helian Quan calmly pulled Zhen Jiabao's fist over and held it in his hand, dragging the person forward.
Zhen Jiabao was dragged by Helian Quan's hand and laughed secretly behind him.
"I'm an ugly daughter-in-law, so what are you when you marry an ugly daughter-in-law?"
Zhen Jiabao was coaxed by Helian Quan to feel comfortable, not to mention, but he was still in the mood to tease people.
"You are an ugly daughter-in-law, I am naturally the man of an ugly daughter-in-law."
Helian Quan and Zhen Jiabao said easily, and without waiting for Zhen Jiabao to refute, he suddenly remembered something and proposed: "Otherwise, I'll take you to the lake for a spin now, and by the way, see if my fishing skills have regressed." ”
Helian Quan seems to have been turned on a magical switch after returning to Sicily, and the aura of his whole body is much more alive than when he was in China.
It's not like when he was in China, even when he got along with the two of them in Xishan Villa, he felt that Helian Quan was always shrouded in an inexplicable gloom.
Maybe it's because Helian Quan's entire childhood was spent in Sicily, Zhen Jiabao remembered that Helian Quan also took him to the Zhen family villa when he was a child, and his heart instantly softened to be able to see Helian Quan's rare side.
"I still remember you once told me that you and Gu Ruiyu made grilled fish quilts after fishing on the lake here
The old housekeeper holds a grudge, why, when you grow up, you dare to do anything wrong? ”
Zhen Jiabao raised his eyebrows, looked at Helian Quan with a bright look and laughed.
"It's just that you don't let the old butler know, just because you have to learn to cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner again, even if I take you to the kitchen and grill the fish by myself, no one cares."
Helian Quan said to do it, as soon as he had this idea in his heart, he immediately dragged Zhen Jiabao's hand to the lake, Zhen Jiabao also let Helian Quan take himself to the whole manor, looking at the wide and not empty scenery everywhere, sighed that Helian family had indeed put a lot of effort into this manor.
The two of them didn't walk long before they arrived at the lake in the manor, which was not guarded by anyone on weekdays, and in order to ensure that someone did not get in the way when enjoying the scenery, the small house where the person who usually watched it lived was about some distance from the lake.
What's more, for the sake of safety, every small boat on the lake has a special device, and in the event of an accident, the guards of the entire manor will immediately receive the news, and they are not afraid of any danger.
Although Helian Quan has been back to China for a few years, after getting on the boat with Zhen Jiabao, he found that he was still very skilled in rowing, and put the fishing rod he secretly took out in the middle, and the two "thieves", a man and a woman, secretly went to the center of the lake.
"What are you looking at here?"
The old man didn't know when he staggered out of the room, still holding a handful of walnuts that had been peeled in his hand, and put one in his mouth from time to time.
The old butler stood by the window on the third floor, put down the telescope in his hand, and looked sad.
"I'm afraid that a few of the old slave-raised koi are going to be poisoned today!"
The old man smiled, and by the way, he stuffed a walnut kernel in his hand for I don't know how many years, and said generously: "What's this, your koi are so fat one by one, and it's a tyrannical thing to not let people eat it." ”
The old housekeeper could only stuff the walnut kernel into his mouth and eat it in the face of his master's ridicule, and threw the binoculars in his hand directly on the windowsill, simply out of sight and out of mind.
Anyway, there are not tens of thousands of koi fish raised over the years, but also thousands, is it possible that they can all be eaten?
The old housekeeper was bitter and happy, and he was happy to see his master's face much more ruddy than before.
can make the head of the family so happy, in the past few years, only the young master can see this scene when he comes home, even if the young master eats a few koi, what does it matter.
"I don't know what happened to my granddaughter-in-law, but looking at this kid who brought people back on the first day, he couldn't help but take others to do bad things, but there is a shadow of me."
The old man has always looked at Helian Quan differently, even if Helian Quan is now taking Zhen Jiabao to do the "chicken and dog thief", in the old man's opinion, it is just the love between a young husband and wife.
The old butler also seemed to be touched in the back, sighed and nodded.
"Who wouldn't say it, the young master really looks like you and the old lady were together, but it's a pity that the old lady is blessed......"
It seems that because of the sad thing, the walnut kernels in the old man's hand are not fragrant when chewed, the eye circles are slightly red, and he was helped by the old housekeeper to walk into the room, and only sighed leisurely for a while.
"She left early back then, and after so many years, if he knew that this kid had grown up like this, he would probably be able to look at it."
"It's a pity that she died early......"
The old man stumbled under his feet, and the old butler immediately helped the person steady.
"Master, let's stop thinking about what happened back then, after all, those people have disappeared now, and we can't get entangled anymore."
