Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 235 Practice Cooking
When delivering meals to Cheng Yan, it was said that Mrs. Wang had prepared them, but she actually only had a name, and Zheng Xiuyun was very busy every day because of learning about housekeeping. Meals are basically arranged by Xu Shuhua.

Xu Shuhua believed in nourishing himself with food, and the meals he sent to Gu Yunji and the others were all prepared individually, and everything was carefully prepared.In the first two months, she often cooked and cooked two dishes for her husband. After she was pregnant, she was too happy to smell the smell of oily smoke, so she seldom entered the kitchen.

Hearing the kitchen steward's question, Xu Shuhua thought about it for a while, wrote down the names of the dishes he had thought of on the list, and said: "Others are fine, the main thing is this three fresh fish soup, and Yun Ji's portion must be made separately. He doesn’t eat much ginger, but fresh fish will have a fishy smell without ginger, so just add a little hot ginger water.”

Gu Yunqiao watched her arrange meals in an orderly manner, suddenly became interested, blinked her bright eyes and said: "Sister-in-law, why don't you let me cook two dishes for brother and the others today?"

After all, it is the little girl's heart, which can be forgotten in a flash. She was worried about her marriage just now, but now she is full of interest.

Xu Shuhua was not sure about her culinary skills, so he asked suspiciously, "Can you cook?"

"Of course I can do it!" Gu Yunqiao puffed up her chest confidently, and stopped in the next second, "It's just...the cooking skills are not as good as my sister-in-law. That's why I need to practice more. My sister-in-law often washes my hands for my brother. For making soup, I also hope that my future husband will praise me for my good cooking skills."

"So you just use your brother and the others to practice?" Xu Shuhua looked funny, and joked, "It's fine, but if you ruin any dish, you can just let your brother eat it alone. Even if it's not good , He knows that you did it, and he can brag about flowers against his conscience."

Gu Yunqiao was dissatisfied: "How can it be so serious? I seldom cook, but it won't be ruined, right? My sister-in-law will wait and see, I will definitely make the food delicious!"

Half an hour later, Gu Yunqiao was a little at a loss looking at the three fresh fish soup in the pot that smelled of mush.

The cook quickly rescued the dishes from the pot: "Oh, Miss Fourth, you can go and rest, we can do these things."

Gu Yunqiao backed away awkwardly: "Obviously the previous one was perfect, but I don't know what's going on with this one..."

I made two portions of Sanxian Fish Soup, one was for Gu Yunxiao and Cheng Yan, with ginger powder in it; the other was for Gu Yunji, with hot ginger water in it.However, Gu Yunji's portion was fine, but the portion with Jiang Mo was muddled. Gu Yunxiao could say that it would be too embarrassing for Cheng Yan to know that her cooking skills are so poor.

In order not to be ashamed, Gu Yunqiao only hesitated for a while before choosing to swap the two. She would rather let Gu Yunji eat ginger than let outsiders know that she is poor at cooking.

In the Imperial Academy, as soon as Gu Yunji opened the food box given by his family, he smelled a faint smell of paste.Not only that, but there was actually ginger that he didn't eat in the muddy fish soup. While struggling to pick out the minced ginger, he muttered and complained: "What's the matter with today's food, Shuhua won't eat it." Forget that I don't eat ginger, but Qiaoqiao's cooking skills are not very good, so she probably did it..."

Cheng Yan's heart moved slightly when he heard the words, he glanced at the fish soup in Gu Yunji's bowl, and said naturally: "I don't have any ginger, I'll exchange it with you."

Gu Yunji raised his head in doubt: "Is there no ginger in your portion? Maybe my family got the two portions mixed up, so let's exchange them."

The three fresh fish soup is smooth in the mouth, and the soup is fresh and thick. Generally speaking, the taste is very good, but it is a pity that it has a burnt smell that is hard to ignore.Cheng Yan tasted it one bite at a time, and the corners of his lips slowly curled into an imperceptible arc: This cooking style really resembles hers.

After returning home in the evening, Gu Yunqiao couldn't wait to ask Gu Yunji for feedback: "Brother, what do you think... how does today's lunch taste?"

Gu Yunji knew it was made by his younger sister as soon as he guessed, so he couldn't help teasing, and said deliberately: "It's not very good, especially the three fresh fish soup. Not only did it get mushy, but also I forgot to give me the ginger. Shu Hua It must have been carefully told, not only did this careless cook not take her words to heart, but her craftsmanship is so poor, she should pack up and leave!"

Gu Yunqiao thumped him angrily: "What careless cook, I did that! Do you want me to pack up and leave!"

Seeing that his sister was really angry, Gu Yunji hurriedly coaxed: "No, I'm just teasing you. You are my sister. Who would dare to let you pack up and leave?"

Gu Yunqiao calmed down a little, and asked, "So—how does it taste?"

Gu Yunji said: "I didn't eat it. I couldn't eat the one with ginger, so I changed it with Cheng Yan. But the one without ginger tastes okay."

Gu Yunqiao's face turned pale, she couldn't speak for a while, and said angrily: "You, why did you switch with Cheng Yan? I gave you food because I was too embarrassed to give it to others. Eat ginger, why don't you change it with Big Brother?"

Gu Yunji didn't understand where her sister's annoyance came from, and she was a little puzzled: "Cheng Yan's and big brother's have no ginger, so it's the same with anyone else? Besides, it's not a big deal. "

Gu Yunqiao looked frustrated: "How can this be the same? You and the eldest brother are both my brothers, and Cheng Yan...he is a foreigner. If I let him know that my cooking skills are so bad, wouldn't I be ashamed? "

Gu Yunqiao pretended to be a lady of every family for so long in front of outsiders, but she showed her secrets in front of Cheng Yan alone, and now she let him know that her cooking skills are not good, and her image might really be lost.

Gu Yunji couldn't laugh or cry: "Although Cheng Yan is not a family member with us, he is much closer than outsiders. I think he ate quite cleanly today, so I don't think he cares. Besides, he may not know that you did it. What are you worried about?" ? Even if you know, it doesn’t matter, you just treat him as a brother who loves you just like me.”

Thinking of Cheng Yan's care for her at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, Gu Yunqiao felt that it was true, and felt relieved a lot, but she was still entangled: "Why don't you let me arrange your meals in the future, whether Cheng Yan knows it or not, I will always make the kitchen Once you practice your skills, you need to find your place.”

"A little girl, how can there be such a strong desire to win?" Gu Yunji rubbed her head helplessly, "Arrange it if you want, in fact, most of the time, you just watch from the sidelines, and leave the matter to the cooks Do it, don’t have to do everything yourself, so as not to tire yourself.”

"Brother, you're rubbing my hair again! I'm not a kid anymore!" Gu Yunqiao covered her hair and glared at him, complaining, "If you keep doing this, I'll put ginger in your dishes again and again, so that you can't eat it." Eat and go home hungry!"

"Hey, you little girl, you're threatening your brother, see how I deal with you!"

It's okay if Gu Yunqiao didn't say anything, but when she said it, Gu Yunji wanted to rub her hair even more.Gu Yunqiao couldn't escape, so she hid behind Xu Shuhua, with her sister-in-law blocking her, so she managed to keep the hair she combed carefully in the morning.
