Chapter 375: Familiar Face
Being teased by Aunt Juan like this, Yan Yiran was a little shy, took the opportunity to break free from Gu Mingzhe's hand, took it back, and then took a sip of orange juice with a cup and lowered her head, and immediately looked at Aunt Juan with a smile: "Orange juice is delicious, thank you Aunt Juan." β
"If you like to drink it, it's all fresh oranges I just bought today, and when I received a call from the stinky boy, I went out of my way to buy some and came back." Aunt Juan happily replied, "He said on the phone that he would bring his girlfriend over, I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect to really bring a little girl over, it's so good......"
She slowly looked at Yan Yiran from head to toe again, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, are you still in college?" β
Yan Yiran hurriedly put the cup on the coffee table, sat up straight, and replied: "Aunt Juan, I have graduated from college, my name is Yan Yiran, Yan is the Yan who is a master of Yan, Yiran is the Yiran who is complacent, Aunt Juan, you just call me Yiran." β
"Yiran...... What a name! Aunt Juan said with a smile, looking at Yan Yiran's gaze becoming more and more loving, "The stinky boy is blessed, he can find such a beautiful and well-behaved girlfriend, I'm afraid you don't know, when I introduced the stinky boy to the object, he ......"
"Ahem!" Gu Mingzhe immediately coughed twice and interrupted Aunt Juan's words, "Aunt Juan, the two of us haven't had dinner, so we want to eat the wontons you wrapped." β
"I haven't finished speaking, don't interrupt." Aunt Juan wanted to continue to talk to Yan Yiran about Gu Mingzhe's gossip, but Gu Mingzhe didn't give her this opportunity at all, and only accentuated her tone and emphasized: "Aunt Juan, we're really hungry." β
"Okay, okay, I see, alas...... I'm going to make wontons, right? Although there was a hint of reproach in her words, the smile on Aunt Juan's face did not disappear, but deepened a little, and she stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen.
"Aunt Juan, I'll help you, and by the way, I'll learn how to make wontons from you." Yan Yiran also stood up and asked Aunt Juan with a smile.
Gu Mingzhe glanced at Yan Yiran and took her hand: "Don't make trouble for Aunt Juan." β
Before Yan Yiran could reply, Aunt Juan pulled Yan Yiran's hand from Gu Mingzhe's hand and helped Yan Yiran reprimand Gu Mingzhe: "Yiran just wants to learn to make wontons with me, where will it be a mess, go, Yiran, let's ignore him, I will definitely teach you to make wontons today." β
"Okay." Yan Yiran walked to the kitchen with Aunt Juan holding her hand, and didn't forget to turn around and stick out her tongue to Gu Mingzhe.
Gu Mingzhe smiled and shook his head, and then stopped caring about her.
The kitchen and the living room are not far away, and as soon as she entered the kitchen, Aunt Juan shouted to the living room: "Mingzhe, if you are bored, go to the old man's study and sit down, don't you like to read the books in his collection the most?" I took out all his books the other day and dried them, and I didn't get them in, so you can just go and check them out. β
Hearing this, Gu Mingzhe's expression moved slightly, and he responded with a "yes", and then got up and went to the study.
Yan Yiran washed her hands, walked to Aunt Juan's side, and asked, "Aunt Juan, I haven't wrapped wontons before, if I don't wrap them well, don't laugh at me." β
"It's fine." Aunt Juan smiled, "It's good that you have this heart, and the little girl who is about the same age as you doesn't have your heart,"
Yan Yiran pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know if there is a difference between making wontons and dumplings, I can make dumplings and noodles." β
Aunt Juan took out the purchased wonton wrappers and churned fresh meat from the refrigerator, and was surprised when she heard Yan Yiran's words
For a moment: "You will have quite a lot, but there is still a little difference between making dumplings and making dumplings, but the difference is not big, making wontons is simpler, I don't need to make noodles today, I bought ready-made wonton wrappers, although the taste is worse than hand-rolled ones, but it is more convenient, I sometimes want to eat wontons alone and are too lazy to toss, they are all ready-made wonton wrappers bought." β
"Then next time I have time, I'll come back to Aunt Juan, and we'll wrap the hand-rolled wonton wrappers again." Yan Yiran rolled up her sleeves, glanced at the fresh meat that had been crushed in the bowl again, and asked, "Aunt Juan, do you want to chop some chives and put them in the meat?" β
Aunt Juan was about to put salt in the fresh meat, and when she heard Yan Yiran's words, she patted her head with a smile: "My memory is getting worse and worse, didn't you remind me, I forgot to put chives." β
With that, she took out a large handful of chives from the refrigerator.
Yan Yiran hurriedly took the chives from her hand, naturally put them under the faucet, turned on the water, and began to clean them, while asking, "Do you want to put other vegetables?" What about shiitake mushrooms and the like? If you want, Aunt Juan, you can bring it, and I will wash it together. β
Seeing that she was doing things so neatly, Aunt Juan became more and more satisfied, and replied: "I have already soaked and chopped the mushrooms, and when the green onions are ready, put them in and stir them together." β
Yan Yiran was not ambiguous, washed the chives efficiently, put the chives on the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife and chopped them up, fast and good.
It's just that the choking smell of the chives exudes that her eyes can't be opened.
Aunt Juan pulled the tissue to help her wipe the spicy tears, and said, "Yiran, you often do housework at home, right?" β
Yan Yiran waited for her eyes to be more comfortable before opening them, and replied, "No, I'm a little busy with work, so I don't have much time to stay at home." β
"What is your job?" Aunt Juan asked casually.
Yan Yiran took the tissue from Aunt Juan's hand, wiped her eyes again, and replied, "I'm an actor." β
"Actor!" Aunt Juan was stunned in surprise, the smile on her face froze, and after a while, she said, "The actor is not bad, filming well, not making some trouble, it is also a serious and good job." β
Yan Yiran saw that Aunt Juan's reaction was a little wrong, but she didn't want to ask, so she only smiled and turned around to wash her hands.
Next, Aunt Juan's words were not as many as at the beginning, and she didn't greet Yan Yiran, but only taught Yan Yiran how to mix the filling of the wontons step by step, what proportion of condiments to put in, and how long to mix, until she saw Yan Yiran start to make wontons, the first few bags were crooked, but the back was getting better and better, she praised Yan Yiran again, and then sighed.
Yan Yiran glanced at Aunt Juan, couldn't help it, and finally asked the question in her heart: "Aunt Juan, don't you like actors?" β
Aunt Juan's action of making wontons stopped, sighed again, and said: "Actually, it's not that I don't like actors, I usually like to watch TV, I think actors are good at acting, it's just ......"
She frowned and paused before continuing: "Most of the girlfriends brought back by my son are also actors, and some have also played heroines in TV series I like, but those women, some of them I didn't like at first sight, they were dressed up demonically, some of them were good at first impression, and I didn't like them after contact, but my son changed girlfriends one after another, and I don't know what to say about him." β
"Well, why am I telling you this?" She immediately changed the topic again, "Mingzhe is different, when he was raising his body with me,
Those little girls in the neighborhood, which saw that he didn't have straight eyes, and they all desperately stuffed things into my house, saying that they wanted to give it to Mingzhe, Mingzhe didn't ask for anything, and let me throw away the things that those little girls sent, and put on a straight face all day long, so scared that those little girls didn't dare to approach him, only sneaked to look at her, at that time my house was lively, my son said that he wanted to introduce him to a good-looking little girl, he quarreled with my son, my old man also told me in private, Mingzhe's character, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a wife in the futureβ¦β¦ Who knew it would bring you over today. β
Yan Yiran laughed: "I completely understand the feelings of those scared little girls, because I was also scared like this." β
Seeing that Yan Yiran didn't chase her and ask her who her son was, Aunt Juan was a little more satisfied with Yan Yiran.
's attention is always on Gu Mingzhe, and he should like Gu Mingzhe very much.
But when it comes to Gu Mingzhe's gossip, she suddenly became interested again: "Yiran, Mingzhe didn't bully you before, right?" His stinky temper, few little girls can stand it, you tell me, how did you and Mingzhe meet? β
Yan Yiran thought about it for a while and said, "I used to be an employee in his company......"
Then, while making wontons, she told Aunt Juan about her and Gu Mingzhe's acquaintance as a story, which skipped the matter between Gu Mingzhe and Lin Wan'er.
By the time she finished the story, the ravioli was ready.
Of course, she cooked it, and Aunt Juan was on her side to guide her.
When Yan Yiran brought the wontons to the dining table in the restaurant, Gu Mingzhe also happened to come out of the study.
"You're in a hurry." She laughed.
Gu Mingzhe walked to the dining table, looked down at the three bowls of wontons on the table, and looked at her: "You made it?" β
"It's not just Yiran's bag, it's Yiran's own cooking." Aunt Juan brought another bowl of home-made mustard to the table and sat down first, "Hurry up and sit down and eat, you're hungry, right?" β
Yan Yiran and Gu Mingzhe glanced at each other and sat down.
Gu Mingzhe picked up a small spoon and ate a wonton, tasted it, and then nodded: "Not bad." β
Yan Yiran put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "It must be good, it was Aunt Juan who taught me by hand, if you want to eat it in the future, I can consider making it for you." β
Gu Mingzhe glanced at her, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, he didn't speak, and only continued to eat wontons.
Aunt Juan's gaze swirled back and forth between Yan Yiran and Gu Mingzhe, and her eyes narrowed with a smile.
After eating wontons, Gu Mingzhe and Yan Yiran said goodbye to Aunt Juan.
When leaving, Aunt Juan insisted on letting Yan Yiran take some small snacks she made herself, but Yan Yiran couldn't refute Aunt Juan's kindness, so she didn't refuse, and accepted it directly.
On the way back to the hotel, Yan Yiran looked at Gu Mingzhe, who had been smiling on his face, and said, "Aunt Juan is very good, the next time I go to see her, I can't be empty-handed like this time, I have to buy a lot of delicious food to see Aunt Juan." β
Gu Mingzhe glanced at her and said, "No need, Aunt Juan will move in with her son soon, I took you to see her today because I want you to be familiar in front of her, and in the future, Aunt Juan will move to Wenjiang, and it will not be so easy to meet." β
