Chapter 349 is better than cooking
The second wife said that, and she didn't really want Xia Yu to do it. Xia Yu really went, and the food was naturally delicious, but Zeng Mina had been tinkering with it for so long.
With her character, she didn't directly say that she did it, and she snatched all the credit. Since they all like to be in the limelight, let them be enough, thinking about this, the second wife smiled and said, "That's what my sister-in-law said." β
After speaking, the second wife sat down between Xia Yu and Shen Yan, holding Shen Yan in one hand and Xia Yu in the other, the family was happy and looked quite harmonious.
This picture reminded the old lady of her two sons and two daughters-in-law many years ago, which was also a warm scene, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
There was no prospect, the son found a little jasper, and she was so happy that the eldest lady reached out and peeled an orange and didn't look at them. But in her heart, she was envious, if her son and daughter-in-law were like this, how good it would be.
If there is gain, there will be loss, and some things cannot be envied, the old lady suddenly asked Shen Yan, "The project of the development zone is almost ready, when are you going to start construction?" β
Shen Yan said, "On the sixth day of next month, there will be one more week. β
The old lady replied, "I won't go, and your brother will go over when the time comes." β
Shen Yan said, "My aunt called me the day before yesterday and said that she would come back, and Xiaoqiang also asked him to ask for leave to come back." β
The old lady was silent for a long time, and then said, "You can greet them." β
When it came to that project, the eldest lady was angry. Shen Yan, a dead boy, insisted on not letting the Zeng family join, and this time the Zeng family is afraid that he will lose a lot.
Although the eldest wife is not satisfied with Zeng Mina, she also wants her son to withdraw from the marriage. But she proposed the marriage at the beginning, and now she proposes to withdraw from the marriage, she really can't say it.
If they don't retreat, the Zeng family is unlucky, it is not good for them, and the eldest lady is very upset.
Just thinking about it, Zeng Mina and the nanny walked from the direction of the kitchen with plates, and the former muttered, "It's time to eat, come and eat." β
Full of Shen family style.
When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately responded: "Mina, you can sit down and rest, it's been a busy morning, and someone is serving." β
Zeng Mina replied with a smile: "It's okay Auntie, I can't be idle, help." β
When the old lady saw this, she stood up, the eldest lady and the second wife supported each other left and right, and Shen Yan and Xia Yu also hurriedly stood up.
Xia Yu said to Shen Yan, "You accompany your grandmother and two aunts, and I'll help." β
Xia Yu walked in the direction of the kitchen, and the eldest lady said sourly, "In the end, he is from a servant family, and he is really familiar with slapping horses and whiskers." β
The eldest lady made it clear that she didn't care about Xia Yu, and even deliberately wanted her to hear it.
Xia Yu's footsteps did not stop, but the corners of his lips hooked up a faint sneer.
"Mom, can you just say a few words?" Shen Mo walked in just when he heard this, and looked at his mother helplessly, it seemed that he had told her so much in vain last night, and she really didn't listen to a word.
Seeing her son come back, the eldest lady hurriedly closed her mouth, she was giving her son face.
In the kitchen, Xia Yu had just walked in, and Zeng Mina, who was originally directing the chef to jump over the wall and steam the Buddha, immediately turned her head to look at her and said, "What are you doing here?" β
Xia Yu didn't even look at her, and only said to a servant of the Shen family, "I'll serve the food." β
Zeng Mina said, "It's just in time, you bring this." β
The chef put on insulated gloves and moved a large cup of Buddha jumping over the wall and moving it off the steamer, and Zeng Mina stood next to her, with a commanding attitude.
Xia Yu didn't bother to take care of her, walked over and took two plates of other dishes, turned around and walked out.
At the dining table, the old lady sat in the main seat, the eldest lady sat on her lower right, and the second lady sat on the lower left. β
Xia Yu could only exert a little force, and then lifted the plate and placed it in front of Shen Mo.
She was holding a spicy chicken in her other hand, thinking that this was what Shen Yan liked to eat, and after a little meal, she also put this dish in front of Qiao Shen Yan, and as soon as the plate was put down, she could only hear it coming from behind her, "Mo Shao, don't move, be careful of scalding." β
Xia Yu turned her head and saw Zeng Mina wearing heat-insulating gloves and walking over with a huge soup cup.
The soup cup was not light, Zeng Mina brought it all the way, her arms were trembling slightly, and she was about to put it down at this moment, but the table was full of plates, Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reached out to move a position out, but at this moment, Zeng Mina couldn't hold it, and the soup cup sank down.
Xia Yu's hand was directly below the soup cup, if this was pressed up, it would burn off a layer of her skin, and between the lightning and flint, Shen Yan pulled Xia Yu hard, and she stumbled, and her hip bone hit the back of his chair.
At the same time, only a clanging sound was heard, Zeng Mina pressed the soup cup of the Buddha jumping over the wall on the edge of the plate, the eldest lady was startled, immediately stood up, stretched out her hand and made a gesture to help, but the soup cup was too hot, and she didn't touch it directly.
Fortunately, the maid came quickly behind him, helping to sort out the mess and rearrange a few plates.
The eldest lady looked at Zeng Mina with worried eyes, "Are you okay?" Is it hot or not? β
Zeng Mina shook her head and replied apologetically, "No, I'm sorry Auntie and Grandma, I didn't mean to." β
The old lady was silent, and the eldest lady said gently, "It's okay, it's okay, what's so sorry about this, I shouldn't have let you be busy, fortunately you didn't get hot, otherwise we would be embarrassed." β
Zeng Mina pretended to be pitiful with the eldest lady, and glanced at Xia Yu without a trace.
The second wife came over, sandwiched Xia Yu between Shen Yan and Shen Yan, and asked with concern, "Xia Yu, are you okay, I saw you bumped into it just now." β
Recently, Xia Yu has been in decline, either hitting his head or hitting his crotch, ** wooden guy, it's strange if it doesn't hurt.
But she is not a hypocritical person, she smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine!" β
"It's okay, come over and eat." Eating a meal does not stop, the old lady has a fire in her heart, with her temper when she was young, she has already had a seizure, but after all, the age is not forgiving, the hero does not mention the courage of the year, not to mention that she, after doing a few mental construction, suppressed the anger, and finally spoke.
The others sat silently, there was more than five seconds on the table, it was completely quiet, Xia Yu straightened his back, and there was no trace of joy and anger on his beautiful face, and he was completely invisible.
Everyone had different thoughts, so no one was the first to speak, and in the end, it was the old lady who took the lead in moving her chopsticks and said, "Eat." β
The old lady spoke, and everyone moved their chopsticks one after another, the eldest lady helped the old lady to distribute the vegetables, Zeng Mina picked up the vegetables for the eldest lady, and the two looked at each other and smiled, enjoying the picture.
Zeng Mina sandwiched several dishes for the old lady in a row, looked at her face, and asked softly about the taste.
The old lady didn't seem to have an appetite today, so she waved her hand after moving a few chopsticks, signaling not to clip it to her anymore.
Shen Yan looked sideways at the old lady and asked, "Unappetizing?" β
The old lady snorted, only to see that Zeng Mina couldn't hold her face, because today's dishes were all cooked by her.
Zeng Mina did it for the first time, it was already good to have this skill, and the eldest lady also tasted it just now, it was really not an old lady's mouth, and the taste was really not good.
But Zeng Mina has hard work even if she doesn't have credit, she hurriedly eased up, "Your grandmother hasn't had a good appetite in the past few days, so I asked the kitchen to make him a bowl of noodles." As she spoke, the eldest lady looked at the nanny on the side.
Shen Yan looked at the old lady and said, "Do you want to drink hot and sour soup?" β
The old lady's eyes lit up, didn't she just like this, the previous cook in the family was good at this, it was this dead boy who was nervous, and fried them all, and now she still has the face to ask.
Seeing that the old lady didn't speak, the eldest lady also guessed that she wanted to drink, and she used to let the kitchen every once in a while, so she immediately said, "I'll let the kitchen do it." β
Before the old lady could respond, Shen Yan said first, "Let Xia Yu go, she will do this." β
Xia Yu stood up, and before she left, Zeng Mina, who was beside her, preemptively said, "I'll do it, I'll do it too." β
Shen Mo on the side said, "Let Xia Yu go, if Xia Yu doesn't mind, make another sweet and sour pork ribs." β
slapped her face bluntly, Zeng Mina obviously couldn't hold her face, and she didn't know where to put her eyes. She is Shen Mo's fiancΓ©e, okay, how can there be a fiancΓ© like this.
Xia Yu put down her chopsticks, got up and walked in the direction of the kitchen, leaving the eldest lady to look at Shen Mo secretly, but she couldn't say anything blatantly, so she could only talk to Zeng Mina with a smile.
Not long after, Xia Yu came over with a bowl of hot and sour soup, and the nanny in the back carried two dishes, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, and a plate of spicy chicken.
In the end, it was his girlfriend, he didn't forget his hobbies, Shen Yan cast an affectionate look at Xia Yu.
Shen Mo sniffed the smell, looked up and smiled at Xia Yu and said, "Thank you!" β
"You're welcome!" Xia Yu put the bowl in front of the old lady, "Grandma, can you taste it, do you see if it suits your taste?" After saying that, he stood aside and waited for the old lady to taste it, and when he saw her expression of joy, he returned to his seat the way he came.
"Xia Yu, who did you learn this craft from?" The old lady picked up the spoon again and scooped it into her mouth, slowly savoring it.
Looking at the old lady's intoxicated appearance, everyone seemed to watch anorexia patients create miracles, staring directly at the old lady to eat, is it really so delicious?
The old lady obviously liked Xia Yu's soup, Zeng Mina was very unhappy, and when she saw the old lady asking, she didn't wait for Xia Yu to answer, and answered very unceremoniously, "She is a family heirloom, her father is a cook, and she learned it from her father." β
This time, Zeng Mina's face was completely ugly, she was tired and tired of making a large table of dishes, and finally lost to a bowl of hot and sour soup that was quick in ten minutes.
In other aspects, Zeng Mina can't compare to Xia Yu, and she only makes a fuss about her family background, so she didn't hesitate to tell Xia Yu's cook father.
The eldest lady on the side immediately showed disdain on her face, it turned out to be the offspring of the cook, no wonder.
"Your dad cooks Sichuan food?" The old lady ate happily and ignored Zeng Mina's intentions.
"Yes, according to my father, my ancestors used to like Sichuan cuisine, so they learned from Sichuan cuisine masters, and after that, they basically worked as chefs." Xia Yu didn't feel that it was a shame for him to have a chef father, and there was nothing shameful about him eating with his labor.
"No wonder your craftsmanship is so good, Xia Yu, can you hand over the practice to the nanny when you leave later?" Xia Yu was very busy, and it was unrealistic for her to come to the house often to cook for herself, so the old lady had to think of this idea.
"Okay, I'll tell her how to do it in a moment." It's nothing, she taught the cook last time, okay.
"Grandma, you try this sweet and sour pork ribs, it is guaranteed to be no worse than that of a five-star restaurant." Shen Mo put a piece of pork ribs into his grandmother's bowl.
"Really? Then I'm going to have a try. The old lady tasted it and immediately praised it, "Xia Yu, you can make it so well if it's not Sichuan cuisine." β
