A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Chapter 19
After adjusting the heat, Zhang Lan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't believe in my craftsmanship. Don't worry, I don't dare to boast that I can compete with the hotel chef, but I can still make home-cooked dishes with my hands. Just keep your stomach open to eat.”

"How about I help you wash and chop the vegetables? It's not that I don't trust your skills. It's better for two people to cook faster." Huang Shasha said and rolled up her sleeves to help.

"No, no, I've taken care of most of it. You really don't need to help sister-in-law, just go and have a rest." Zhang Lan stopped her quickly.

"Leave him alone, he doesn't know good people. When he messes up the dishes, how will I teach him a lesson? I won't give him a chance to shirk his responsibility when my wife leaves." Xie Ruidong appeared in the kitchen and pulled Huang Sha away.

Xie Ruidong pulled Huang Sha away, and Zhang Lan continued to be busy in the kitchen.

When Zhang Lan took the stewed ribs out of the pot, Xie Ruidong and his daughter Xie Yunfei suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen and took a deep breath: "Zhang Lan, you taste good, it's so fragrant."

While they were talking, the father and daughter had already entered the kitchen. Xie Ruidong looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs that Zhang Lan had just put into the basin, showing a greedy look: "Zhang Lan, did you add something to this? Why is it so fragrant?"

Xie Yunfei on the side was also staring intently at the sweet and sour pork ribs that Zhang Lan placed on the chopping board. Upon seeing this, Zhang Lan took out a small bowl from the cupboard, took two pieces of ribs from the basin and handed them to Xie Yunfei: "Feifei, take the bowl. Eat, and ignore your dad."

"Thank you, uncle." Xie Yunfei took the small bowl and chopsticks politely, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

The Coca-Cola chicken wings on the side were also in their juice immediately. Zhang Lan opened the lid of the pot and took a look before turning off the heat and serving the pot.Xie Ruidong on the side watched eagerly as Xie Yunfei left the kitchen with the small bowl in his hand. Seeing this, he hurriedly squeezed Zhang Lan away: "Zhang Lan, please take a break. I'll serve it. I'll serve it. You go prepare other things. I'll help." "

Watching Xie Ruidong squeeze out of his way to take the pot of stewed Coke chicken wings off the fire, he poured it into the basin while muttering: "I'll help you taste it, is it right?"

Zhang Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You're not here to help, you're here to steal food." Saiba shouted towards the living room: "Sister-in-law, come here quickly and pull this big greedy cat out."

As soon as Zhang Lan finished speaking, Huang Shasha appeared at the door of the kitchen: "It's not embarrassing for such a big person to eat secretly like a child."

"They are all our own, why should we embarrass anyone? Let me give Feifei another piece. I want this piece of Lan's craftsmanship." Xie Ruidong said plausibly.

Huang Shasha dragged and pushed Xie Ruidong out of the kitchen. Zhang Lan sped up his movements. After finishing the meat and vegetables that needed to be stewed, he quickly moved on to the rest.

Following Zhang Lan's busy work, the dishes for the lunch meal were quickly completed.There are six hot dishes, four meat and two vegetarian; four cold dishes, two meat and two vegetarian; plus two soups, one sweet and one salty, for a total of twelve dishes.The chopping boards and stovetops in the kitchen are packed to the brim.

All twelve dishes are served in small stainless steel basins, and each one is generous in portion.Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork loin, twice-cooked pork, cola chicken wings, stir-fried bamboo shoots...

After looking at his work with satisfaction, Zhang Lan picked up two dishes and shouted to the people sitting in the living room playing with their mobile phones: "The dishes are ready, dinner is ready."

As soon as Zhang Lan finished speaking, Xie Ruidong, who was lying on the sofa, immediately stood up and ran to the kitchen while shouting: "I'm finally fine, I'm starving to death." Looking at the ten dishes served one by one During the second course, Huang Shasha's colleague Zhao Ting, who was accompanied by Xie Ruidong and others today, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhang Lan, you cook so much, how can we finish it all?"

Zhang Lan and Zhao Ting have met several times, but they can't be said to be strangers.Today, Xie Ruidong and Zhang Lan noticed Zhao Ting as soon as they entered the door. Zhao Ting's face was not good at that time. It might be because of motion sickness. She looked weak. After a while, she regained her energy.

"It's okay, I can't eat and walk around. With this skill, I have to take it away if I can't finish it today." At this time, Xie Ruidong had already sat down at the dining table, picked up a piece of ribs and started eating.

Huang Shasha pulled Xie Yunfei to sit down and slapped Xie Ruidong: "You are really not embarrassed today."

"Dad, shame on you." Xie Yunfei on the side gestured towards Xie Ruidong, and everyone laughed.

Huang Shasha and Zhao Ting looked like ladies and disappeared after putting down their chopsticks and taking the first bite. They ate the food without caring about their own image.In the end, in addition to the 4 cold dishes, there were still some leftovers, 6 generous hot dishes and two soups were all eaten. Even 6-year-old Xie Yunfei lay on the sofa with her stomach content and hummed.

A few people were lazily leaning on the sofa to digest their meals. Xie Ruidong was drinking herbal tea. After a while, he said, "Zhang Lan, you are so hidden. You actually know this skill." You said you can't cook. If you resign, you might as well open a restaurant with us. I'll invest in it for you and you can take care of my food every day."

Huang Shasha on the side agreed repeatedly: "That's right, Zhang Lan, you are still hiding this skill. If you had known earlier, you would have made a fortune by opening a restaurant in our place."

Zhang Lan shook his head: "To be honest, I have no plans to open a restaurant. Opening a restaurant is a hard-working job. I just don't want to be too tired after I quit my job."

"Who's afraid of being tired after making money? Is there anyone who thinks it's too much money? Speaking of your girlfriend, didn't she come to your door at the beginning of the year? I was still thinking about your wedding on May Day. Why is there no news?" Xie Ruidongda asked grinningly.

"You're the only one who talks a lot." Huang Shasha nudged Xie Ruidong.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, there's nothing to say. The silence means we broke up. In April, my father was ill in the ICU. She and her mother went to visit once, but then they probably felt the burden was heavy and they broke up." Zhang Lan was very happy. He said it freely.

"Uncle is sick? And he's in the ICU? Zhang Lan, don't you treat me as your brother, and why don't you tell me this?" Xie Ruidong sat up from the sofa and said angrily.

"Thank you, boss, don't worry. I haven't told anyone about our brother. It's not a happy event. He is fine now. Before, his condition was very serious and looked scary." Zhang Lan hurriedly explained.

"I think you just don't think of me as your brother. It's been so long since we didn't come, so you wouldn't have mentioned it." Xie Ruidong slammed the table, still very angry.

Huang Shasha tugged at the corner of Xie Ruidong's clothes: "Don't scare the child. You didn't do the right thing about Zhang Lan, and don't blame Ruidong for being angry. Anyone would be angry if it happened to you. You didn't even say a word about such a serious illness." .”
