After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 18 Is her cooking so good?

The touch under his hand was as soft as boneless. Zhou Chenglei retracted his hand and took a step back.

Jiang Xia also turned over the vegetables in the big iron pot as if nothing had happened.

The great-grandmother smiled and said: "Hey, I didn't expect Ah Lei to love his wife so much. Xiaoxia, just let him do it."

Zhou Chenglei said again: "I'll come."

This time he didn't reach out.

Jiang Xia didn't look at him: "No, I'll just come. You go and wash the white shell for me."

Bai Bei was worried that there was sand, so she needed to rinse it with water, and then use it to make steamed melon with garlic paste.

Zhou Chenglei was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he obediently went out to wash his hands.

Jiang Xia cooked with two iron pots alone, and she also arranged two small stoves.

Because most of the meat is seafood, it is easy to cook, and there are many people helping out. In about two hours, Jiang Xia was able to cook ten dishes and one soup.

The man who was chatting outside had already been aroused by the aroma coming from the kitchen, making his stomach growl.

Guangzong Yaozu and his brothers went to herd cows and ducks, and came here to eat after dark. Several children smelled the aroma of the kitchen and gathered around the door of the kitchen, praising the deliciousness of the aunt's cooking.

Tian Caihua cursed and drove them away several times, but they refused to leave.

Later, Jiang Xia smiled and sent them out to help pick some flowers to put on the plate, and they ran out in a hurry.

When the food was served, everyone was shocked to see the delicious, delicious and exquisitely presented dishes.

Jiang Xia had the experience of working in the kitchen of a five-star hotel in her previous life. On the braised pork, she decorated the plate with purple eggplant flowers picked by Guangzong Yaozu's brothers; a carrot The small carved red flowers look like a plate of blooming peonies; the tiger spots are cut into circles and steamed, garnished with shredded green onions and red peppers, and the fish's mouth is decorated with a flower that beats the melon, just like It’s like a peacock opening its tail, lifelike, so beautiful!

Everyone usually cooks the food casually and just puts it on the plate. How can it be arranged so neatly, let alone decorate it?

Father Zhou: "This is what Xiaoxia made? It's so beautifully presented that I can't bear to eat it."

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "How do you know it was Xiaoxia who did it?"

Father Zhou gave her a meaningful look: "What are you talking about!"

When my wife and eldest daughter-in-law cook, they just want one to be cooked well and not have diarrhea after eating. How could they make it so fancy?

Mother Zhou secretly stepped on him.

Zhou Chengxin exclaimed: "The four brothers and sisters are so good at craftsmanship, but they hide it so well!"

Grandpa: "Not only is this good craftsmanship, this craftsmanship is simply better than that of a state-owned hotel!"

The great-grandmother said cheerfully: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen cooking made like flowers. I really learned a lot today."

Zhou Yongguo gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up: "My granddaughter-in-law is good at her craftsmanship!"

Then he said to Zhou Chenglei next to Jiang Xia: "Grandson, you are so lucky!"

Zhou Jie imitated his father: "My little nephew, you are so lucky!"

Zhou Chenglei didn't pay attention to the verbal excitement of the father and son. He focused on the food on the table. He was someone who had eaten a state banquet. He suspected that if he gave her more ingredients, she would not be able to complete the state banquet.

But is her cooking skills so good?

Jiang Xia lived for 28 years in her previous life. After the age of three, she was short of food and clothing. She even had no time to eat because she worked part-time, so she was often hungry and full. It wasn't until she graduated from college and paid off her medical expenses that she felt relaxed. Then she liked to cook dishes that looked delicious and delicious, and she also liked to arrange dishes when eating by herself, and arrange every dish beautifully. That was the only thing she did in her free time. fun.

But there is absolutely no way the original owner could do this well.

Sensing Zhou Chenglei's appraising gaze, Jiang Xia had already thought of an excuse and said with a smile: "Someone in my grandfather's family served as a royal cook in the palace. My grandfather's cooking skills are very good. I learned from him when I was a child, but I haven't done it for a long time. I don’t know how it tastes, so we’ll just eat it.” Everyone praised it again: “It looks delicious!”

“My mouth is watering just smelling it, it’s absolutely delicious!”

…

Zhou Chenglei knew that Jiang Xia did live with her grandparents for a period of time when she was a child, but that was before she went to elementary school, right?

Jiang Xia picked up the wine glass, pulled his sleeves, and whispered: "We, husband and wife, would like to propose a toast to everyone?"

Zhou Chenglei came to his senses.

The words "husband and wife" were like feathers crossing Zhou Chenglei's heart. He lowered his head and glanced at her white and tender hand holding her sleeve, and then looked at the glass with the red word "囍" printed on her other hand. The wine glass was bought when they got married.

They are indeed a couple, although they are about to get divorced.

He lowered his eyes, picked up the 囍 wine glass, and stood up.

Zhou Chenglei raised his glass and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you all today. Jiang Xia and I would like to toast you all. Thank you for your help."

Jiang Xia stood up: "Thank you so much for today. If it weren't for your help, the house wouldn't have been repaired so quickly. Thank you!"

Good meat and good dishes are indispensable for good wine. Zhou Chenglei bought wine by the way. Jiang Xia found wine glasses and poured them for everyone before eating.

She asked Zhou's mother that none of them drank. Only the great-grandmother said to drink a small glass of wine, so Jiang Xia prepared watermelon juice for the adults and children who did not drink.

The watermelon was brought over by Zhou Jie's mother. It was grown by her parents' family. The stone melon was a very big one. It was gritty when cut into pieces. It had been soaked in well water and was particularly sweet.

Everyone raised their glasses of wine/watermelon juice, stood up, and clinked their glasses: "Prosperity in moving into a new house, a prosperous home, and good health!"

Jiang Xia drank the cup without leaving a drop.

The way she drank was skillful, calm and elegant, which was a pleasure to watch.

Zhou Chenglei glanced at her.

Liquor worth two qian was in his mouth, and he felt it was spicy. She was as delicate as she was, but she drank it without changing her expression, as if she had toasted with others countless times.

Grandma happily drained the wine in her glass and said with a smile: "Xiao Xia is such a good kid! He can go out into the hall and into the kitchen. He is a person who can do great things. Ah Lei, your luck is behind you."

Zhou Chenglei picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone without saying a word.

Jiang Xia replied mischievously: "My grandma is the most discerning. She has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance that I am a prosperous man!"

Everyone at the table laughed at Jiang Xia's thick skin.

Hearing everyone praising Jiang Xia, Tian Caihua looked at a table of greasy dishes and pursed her lips: I don't know whether the family is prosperous or not, but it is inevitable that the family will be ruined!

Who is willing to put so much oil in cooking?

The half jar of oil shared between the families was almost enough for her at the first meal.

No matter how capable Zhou Chenglei is, he can't afford to support her, right?

Zhou Yongguo picked up the wine glass and said to Zhou Chenglei: "Lei, you married a wealthy man's wife. We must have a drink, and granddaughter-in-law, you come too!"

Jiang Xia responded with a smile. Zhou Chenglei did not fill her glass. She reached for the bottle. Zhou Chenglei took the bottle away and put a glass of watermelon juice he had just poured in front of her: "This wine has great stamina. Drink it." Watermelon Juice.”

Zhou Yongguo: "Hey, this is not okay. Grandpa is toasting, so you have to drink! You can't drink watermelon juice!"

I heard that the two of them haven't slept together yet.

It's really difficult for his grandson. He is twenty-eight years old and has not tasted the taste of a woman.

For the sake of his grandson who has helped him fight since he was a child, tonight he, a grandfather, decided to help him!
