Chapter 18 How about I give it a try?
Su Yun stared at her mother blankly, feeling extremely surprised.
When she was called into the study , her mother didn't say a word to her, in order to express her dissatisfaction and protest against the secret marriage. However, now, a smile appeared on her mother's face, which undoubtedly meant that her mother's mind had changed.
She looked at the man beside her with surprise, You are so good!
“Dang!”
Suddenly , there was a sound of metal collision outside.
The three people in the study room walked out immediately, only to see Su Yun's father in the kitchen sucking his fingers with his mouth. The kitchen knife was at his feet with a trace of blood on it.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Su Yun's younger brother rushed out of the room excitedly.
He thought that since they were fighting, he could justify beating the person up. However, when he came to the kitchen, he found that it was not the case and a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.
Su Changzhi smiled embarrassedly, took his finger out of his mouth and said, "It's okay, I accidentally touched my finger when I was cutting meat, it's okay."
Su Yun quickly took out the medicine box and took it over. When she saw the wound on her father's finger, her brows immediately frowned and a distressed expression appeared on her face.
The wound was one centimeter long. Although it was not very deep, a piece of skin was cut off, which looked very painful.
While disinfecting, she said, "Dad, why are you so careless?"
Su Changzhi laughed and said, "People make mistakes, horses stumble, it's normal, normal."
In fact, he was eavesdropping on the conversation in the study at that time, but he was distracted and cut his hand.
"You didn't just cut a human being, but you cut yourself. Dad, you're really awesome!" Su Lei gave his father a thumbs up.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." After Su Changzhi said this, he secretly glanced in the direction of his son-in-law. Seeing that he was also looking at him, his old face turned red. He was really embarrassed today.
Su Yun bandaged the wound, then pushed her father out of the kitchen and said, "Dad, you should go and talk to Xu Jie. I'll take care of the rest."
"No, no." Su Changzhi quickly refused.
chat?
We have to go into the bathroom to talk further.
"Sister, forget it. What else can you do besides scrambled eggs with tomatoes?" Su Lei said in a weird voice.
"What are you talking about? Haven't you heard that when a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes?" Su Yun picked up the kitchen knife from the ground, rinsed it with water, and then looked at the meat on the chopping board. "It's just cooking, it's easy to cook ."
Su Lei covered his forehead with his hands and said seriously, "Oh my god, if the purpose of cooking is just to cook the food, then the existence of seasonings will be meaningless."
"Let me do it." Zhang Simin said.
Her husband's finger was bandaged like a grenade, her daughter's cooking skills were limited, and her son was a freeloader. Now she was the only one who could step forward to save lunch.
"Mom, stop joking. The only thing you can do better than my sister is to make scrambled eggs with leeks. Oh, there are also scrambled eggs with green peppers, scrambled eggs with onions, and scrambled eggs with cucumbers. I think we should go out to eat." Su Lei suggested.
Zhang Simin felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. What would others think if she wanted to go out to eat when the dish was halfway through?
Isn't it a joke that no one in the family can cook?
"No, you have to eat at home."
Zhang Simin walked into the kitchen. She remembered that there seemed to be a cookbook at home, so she looked for it and thought maybe it could be useful.
Su Yun glared at her brother fiercely and said unhappily, "Look at how capable you are. You have ruined half of our family. If you can do it, go ahead and do it. Don't just stand there and make sarcastic remarks."
"I can't do it, so I won't go. This is called self-knowledge, understand?" Su Lei took out his cell phone from his pocket, "I can order takeout, right?"
"How about I give it a try?" A weak voice suddenly sounded.
The Su family looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Xu Jie.
"you?"
There was surprise, doubt, disdain and confusion in the eyes of the four people.
"Well, here comes another one who wants to show off." Su Lei said with a sneer.
"Xiao Xu, can you cook?" Su Changzhi's eyes lit up, and he felt a sense of shared destiny.
"A little bit." Xu Jie said.
He had no choice. The son-in-law went to visit his parents-in-law for the first time and he had to eat takeout. If this got out, wouldn't people laugh at him?
Zhang Simin looked at her daughter at this time and gave her a questioning look.
Su Yun felt uncomfortable being stared at, and even a little at a loss. She had only known the man for two days, so how could she know if he could cook?
But she couldn't just sit there and not react. Her family was already very unhappy with her secret marriage, and they had criticized her a lot over the phone. If she continued to show that she didn't know, she would surely be reprimanded and denounced.
Thinking of this man's glorious history, maybe he can give her a surprise this time.
Well, take a gamble!
She gritted her teeth, a smile instantly appeared on her face, and she said loudly: "You are in for a treat today. The food he cooks is ten times more delicious than what I cook."
Su Changzhi and Zhang Simin looked at each other, thinking that this was not a compliment.
If you want to describe a person as good through comparison, you should at least choose an excellent object as a benchmark. Can you be called a chess master if you play better than a bad chess player?
Su Lei was more direct. "That's not much better. I'd better focus on my takeaway food."
"Shut up!"
Su Yun pushed her parents into the living room, turned on the TV for them, and then dragged Xu Jie into the kitchen. While helping him take off his suit, she turned her back to her family and whispered, "Are you okay?"
"Let's try it. Didn't you say it's easy to cook?" Xu Jie rolled up his sleeves and looked at the things on the countertop: sliced meat strips, chopped meat, fish fillets, blanched beef tripe, beef tenderloin, pork belly, prawns, and various washed vegetables neatly arranged on the plate. One could tell at a glance that his father- often cooked.
"Ah?" Su Yun immediately felt guilty after hearing the answer. She hesitated for a moment and took out her phone from her pocket. "I'll search online and follow the recipe later. With my smart mind and your courage and boldness, we can definitely make a sumptuous meal."
"Why am I brave and bold?" Xu Jie asked.
"You don't understand this? I am smart and you are brave. The two of us together are both smart and brave. Do you understand?" Su Yun explained.
Xu Jie was speechless. Isn't this just forcing himself to add more drama?
He picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting the ingredients. As for the recipe, if one could cook a dish by looking at the recipe, chefs would be everywhere. Who would still go to restaurants? Wouldn't it be better to cook at home?
"The Internet says that meat filling can be used to make eggplant sandwiches. Yes, how about we make fried eggplant sandwiches?" Su Yun asked while looking at her phone.
"Okay." Xu Jie responded, then put the meat filling into a large bowl, added eggs and other seasonings, and quickly stirred it clockwise with his hands. After it was firm, he rolled it into a round ball and fried it directly in the pan. After it was shaped, he put it in a casserole and stewed it.
A dish!
Su Yun was completely stunned by this series of actions. She looked at Xu Jie in confusion and asked, "Isn't it fried eggplant boxes?"
"Yes, can you please take out the eggplant?" Xu Jie said.
"oh."
Su Yun began to look everywhere. She found cucumbers, green peppers, and cabbages, but she couldn't find eggplants.
"It seems not." She said to Xu Jie.
"Then just find something we have." Xu Jie said to Su Yun, without stopping his hands. He poured seasoning starch into the shredded pork, mixed it and put it aside to dry.
"You mean cucumber sandwiches?" Su Yun asked.
"Well, go wash two cucumbers." Xu Jie sincerely cooperated with the other party's imagination.
"Okay." Su Yun was very happy that she could finally help.
Xu Jie picked out the shrimp threads and put them into the pot to steam. He also crushed a few cloves of garlic, cut some chili peppers, and poured seafood soy sauce as a simple dipping sauce. Another dish was ready.
"The cucumbers are washed." Su Yun handed the washed cucumbers to Xu Jie. They were so clean that there was not even a thorn on them.
Xu Jie put the cucumber on the chopping board and cut it into shreds with a kitchen knife, then put it together with the shredded carrots and rice noodles and poured sesame sauce on it...
"Didn't you say you wanted to make cucumber sandwiches?" Su Yun asked in confusion. You've never eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run. This is clearly a cold dish of cucumber and rice noodles.
"almost."
Xu Jie put the steamed shrimp aside, then heated oil in a pan, poured the beef slices in and stir-fried them over high heat.
"call!"
Flames suddenly ignited in the wok, and Su Yun was so scared that she screamed "Ah" and ran out of the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" Su Changzhi stood up in fright.
"The pot is on fire." Su Yun's heart was pounding. When she saw the flames disappear, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to her father, "It's okay, it's out."
"call!"
"Ah, it's on fire again!"
The Su family members looked over and saw flames blazing in the kitchen, with roaring flames and the sound of metal colliding.
this……
Is this going to set the house on fire?
