The second wife just said that and had no intention of really letting Xia Yu do it. Xia Yuzhen went there, so what she made was naturally delicious, but Zeng Mina had been tinkering with it for so long.
Given her character, she would not directly say that she did it, but would take all the credit away. Since they all like to be in the limelight, let them show off enough. Thinking of this, the second wife smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is right."
After saying that, 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 enjoying themselves and seemed quite harmonious.
This scene reminded the old lady of the warm scene with her two sons and two daughters-in-law many years ago, and she couldn't help but feel emotional.
There was no future, so the son found Xiaojia Biyu and made her so happy that the eldest wife reached out and picked up an orange peel without looking at them. But she felt jealous in her heart. It would be great if her son and daughter-in-law were like this.
Every gain must come with a loss, and some things cannot be achieved with envy. The old lady suddenly asked Shen Yan, "We are almost ready for the project in the development zone. When are we going to start construction?"
Shen Yan said, "On the 6th of next month, there is still one week."
The old lady responded, "I won't go. You brothers will come over then."
Shen Yan said, "My aunt called me the day before yesterday and said she would come back. I also asked Xiaoqiang to take leave and come back."
The child's arrangements were thoughtful. The old lady was silent for a while, and then said, "You can greet them."
When the project was mentioned, the eldest lady became very angry. Shen Yan, this damn boy, insists on not letting the Zeng family join. I am afraid that the Zeng family will suffer a lot this time.
Although the eldest wife is not satisfied with Zeng Mina, she also wants her son to break off the engagement. But she was the one who proposed the marriage in the first place, and now she proposes to cancel the engagement, she really can't say anything.
If you don't retreat, the Zeng family will be in bad luck, which will not be good for them. The eldest wife will be very upset.
Just as she was thinking about it, Zeng Mina and the nanny came from the kitchen carrying plates. The former kept mumbling, "dinner is ready, come and eat."
Full of Shen family style.
After hearing this, the eldest lady immediately responded: "Mina, please sit down and rest. It's been a busy morning, and someone will take care of it."
Zeng Mina smiled and replied: "It's okay, Auntie, I can't stay idle, please help me."
The old lady stood up when she saw it. The eldest lady and the second lady were supporting her on the left and right. Shen Yan and Xia Yu also stood up quickly.
Xia Yu said to Shen Yan, "You stay with grandma and the two aunts, and I'll go help."
Xia Yu walked toward the kitchen, and the eldest lady said sourly, "After all, she comes from a servant's family, so she's really good at flattering people."
The eldest wife made it clear that she had no concerns about Xia Yu, and even wanted her to hear it on purpose.
Xia Yu's steps didn't stop, but the corner of her lips curled up with a hint of slight ridicule.
"Mom, can you just say a few words less?" Shen Mo walked in just in time to hear this, and looked at his mother helplessly. It seemed that he had said so much to her in vain last night, and she really didn't listen to a word.
Seeing her son coming back, the eldest lady quickly shut her mouth. She was doing it to save her son's face.
In the kitchen, Xia Yu just walked in. Zeng Mina, who was instructing the chef to jump over the wall and put the steamer under the steamer, immediately turned to look at her and said, "What are you doing here?"
Xia Yu didn't even look at her, she just said to a servant of the Shen family, "I'll serve the food."
Zeng Mina said, "It's just the right time. Please bring this over."
The chef used insulated gloves to move a large cup of Buddha Jumping over the Wall out of the steamer. Zeng Mina stood beside him with an instructive attitude.
Xia Yu was too lazy to pay attention to her, walked over and took two plates of other dishes, turned around and walked out.
At the dining table, the old lady sat at the head seat, the eldest lady sat at her lower right hand, and the second wife sat at her lower left hand. Put the sweet and sour pork ribs on Xiao Mo’s side, he likes it.”
Xia Yu could only use a little force to lift the plate and place it in front of Shen Mo.
She was holding spicy chicken in her other hand, thinking that this was what Shen Yan liked to eat. After a short meal, she also placed this dish in front of Qiao Shenyan. As soon as the plate was put down, she heard from behind, "Mo "Master, don't move, be careful."
Xia Yu turned around and saw Zeng Mina wearing insulated gloves and walking over with a huge soup cup. There were so many places on the long table, but she wanted to go to the place where the dishes were placed.
The soup cup was not light. Zeng Mina carried it with her arms trembling slightly. She was about to put it down at this moment, but there were plates on the table. After Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, she immediately stretched out her hand to move out. , but at this moment, Zeng Mina couldn't hold it any longer, and the soup cup sank.
Xia Yu's hand was right under the soup cup. If she pressed it up, it would burn off a layer of her skin. Between the lightning and flint, Shen Yan pulled Xia Yu hard, and she staggered, and her hip bone hit the back of his chair. .
At the same time, there was only a clang sound, and Zeng Mina pressed the soup cup of Buddha Jumping over the Wall on the edge of the plate. The eldest lady was startled, and immediately stood up and reached out to help, but the soup cup was too big. It was hot, and she didn't touch it directly.
Fortunately, the servant behind him came quickly to help clean up the mess and rearrange several plates.
The eldest lady looked at Zeng Mina with worried eyes, "Are you okay? Is it permed?"
Zeng Mina shook her head and replied with an apologetic look, "No, I'm sorry, auntie and grandma, I didn't mean it."
The old lady remained silent, and the eldest lady said gently, "It's okay, it's okay. What's there to be sorry for? I shouldn't have made you busy in the first place. Fortunately, you didn't burn it, otherwise we would have been embarrassed."
While Zeng Mina pretended to be pitiful to the eldest lady, she glanced at Xia Yu without any trace.
The second wife came over, sandwiched Xia Yu with Shen Yan, and asked with concern, "Xia Yu, are you okay? I just saw you hit."
Xia Yu has been suffering from bad luck recently. She either bumps her head or her crotch. It's a hard wooden thing. It's strange that it doesn't hurt.
But she was not a pretentious person. She smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm okay!"
"It's okay, come and eat." The old lady didn't stop even after eating. She was angry. With her young temper, she would have exploded a long time ago. But after all, age is not forgiving, and a hero does not mention his bravery in the past. What's more, after doing some mental construction several times, she suppressed her anger and finally spoke.
Everyone else sat down in silence. The table was completely quiet for more than five seconds. Xia Yu straightened her back, and there was no trace of happiness or anger on her beautiful face.
Everyone had different thoughts, so no one spoke first. In the end, the old lady took the lead in using her chopsticks and said, "Eat."
After the old lady spoke, everyone started to use their chopsticks. The eldest lady helped the old lady lay the dishes, and Zeng Mina picked up the dishes for the eldest lady. The two looked at each other and smiled, and it was a happy scene.
Zeng Mina served the old lady several dishes in succession, looked at her face, and asked softly about the taste.
The old lady seemed to have no appetite today, so she moved her chopsticks only a few times and then waved her hand, indicating that she should not eat any more.
Shen Yan turned his head to look at the old lady and asked, "Not to your taste?"
The old lady hummed, and saw that Zeng Mina couldn't lose her face, because today's dishes were all cooked by her.
This is Zeng Mina’s first time making it, and it’s already good to have such skills. The eldest lady also tasted it just now. It’s not that the old lady is picky, the taste is indeed not good.
But Zeng Mina must have worked hard even if she had no credit. She quickly spoke out to soften her voice, "Your grandma has not had a good appetite in the past few days. I asked the kitchen to make him a bowl of noodles." As she said this, the eldest lady looked at the nanny beside her.
Shen Yan looked at the old lady and said, "Would you like to drink hot and sour soup?"
The old lady's eyes lit up. She really liked this. The previous cook at home was very good at making this, but this damn boy got crazy and fired them all. Now she still has the nerve to ask.
Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, the eldest lady also guessed that she wanted to drink. She used to leave it to the kitchen every now and then, so she immediately said: "I'll let the kitchen do it."
Before the old lady could respond, Shen Yan said first, "Let Xia Yu go, she will do this."
Xia Yu stood up, but before she left, Zeng Mina beside her said first, "I'll do it, I will do it too."
Shen Mo on the side said, "Let Xia Yu go. If Xia Yu doesn't mind, make some sweet and sour pork ribs."
She was slapped bluntly in the face. Zeng Mina obviously lost face and didn't know where to turn her eyes. She is Shen Mo's fiancée. How can a fiancé be so shameless
Xia Yu put down her chopsticks, got up and walked toward the kitchen. The eldest wife was left secretly glancing at Shen Mo, but she couldn't say anything blatantly, so she could only smile and talk to Zeng Mina.
Not long after, Xia Yu came over with a bowl of hot and sour soup, and the nanny behind was carrying two plates, one of sweet and sour pork ribs and one of spicy chicken.
She was his girlfriend after all and had not forgotten her hobbies. Shen Yan cast an affectionate look at Xia Yu.
Shen Mo smelled the smell, raised his head, smiled at Xia Yu and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Xia Yu put the bowl in front of the old lady, "Grandma, try it and see if it suits your taste?" After saying that, he stood aside and waited for the old lady to take a bite and saw her expression of joy. , and then returned to his seat along the original route.
"Xia Yu, who did you learn this skill from?" The old lady picked up the spoon again, took a spoonful and put it in her mouth, slowly reflecting on it.
Seeing the old lady's intoxicated appearance, everyone seemed to be watching an anorexic patient perform a miracle, staring straight at the old lady eating. Is it really that delicious
The old lady obviously liked Xia Yu's soup. Zeng Mina felt very unhappy. When the old lady asked, she answered rudely without waiting for Xia Yu's answer, "This is a family skill. Her father is a cook. She and I learned it from my father.”
Zeng Mina's face looked completely ugly this time. She worked very hard to prepare a large table of dishes, but in the end she lost to a bowl of hot and sour soup that was made in ten minutes.
Zeng Mina couldn't compare to Xia Yu in other aspects. She could only make a fuss about her family life, so she didn't hesitate to tell Xia Yu's cook father.
The eldest lady on the side immediately showed contempt on her face. It turned out that she was the descendant of the cook. No wonder.
"Your father cooks Sichuan cuisine?" The old lady ate happily and ignored Zeng Mina's intentions.
"Yes, I heard from my father that my ancestors used to like Sichuan cuisine and learned from Sichuan cuisine masters. After that, they basically worked as chefs." Xia Yu didn't feel that it was a shame to have a chef father at all. There is no shame in earning a living through hard work.
"No wonder your craftsmanship is so good, Xia Yu, can you leave the recipe to the nanny when you leave?" Xia Yu is very busy, and it is unrealistic for her to come to the house to cook for herself, so the old lady had to think about it. This idea.
"Okay, I'll tell her how to make it in a minute." That's okay, she taught it to the cook last time.
"Grandma, try this sweet and sour pork ribs. I guarantee it will be no worse than the ones from Five Star Restaurant." Shen Mo put a piece of pork ribs into grandma's bowl.
"Really? Then I have to try it." The old lady immediately praised it after taking a bite, "Xia Yu, you can cook it so well even if you don't have Sichuan cuisine."
