On the third day, I woke up late as usual. Fortunately, it was a Saturday and I didn’t have to go to work.

Although he didn't have to go to work on Saturday and wouldn't be laughed at by his colleagues, Xia Yinuo was still embarrassed because he was woken up by Yueyue's knock on the door in the morning.

The only one who was embarrassed was Xia Yinuo, while Chen Yang still smiled playfully at his mother who was teasing him. No shame at all.

After breakfast, Wei Zhuhui announced something important.

"Today, Sister-in-law Wang is on leave. I will cook at noon." Wei Zhuhui decided with a slightly excited tone.

After hearing this, Chen Ji raised the newspaper to cover his face, his cheeks twitching slightly.

There are many people in the family. To prepare a table of dishes, it takes half a day just to pick the dishes. If one person cooks a table of dishes alone without any help, it really takes a long time to prepare a table of dishes, causing back pain. Moreover, Wei Zhuhui usually doesn't cook at all. Judging from Yi Nuo's limited experience, Wei Zhuhui seems to have never cooked once. If you suddenly start cooking, you will probably be confused and your body may not be able to handle it.

So, Xia Yinuo took the initiative and asked, “Then I will help my mother."

"Okay, okay. If you help me, I will definitely be able to cook a table full of dishes."

"Yes!" Yinuo agreed, but he felt that Wei Zhuhui's affirmative tone was a bit strange, but he didn't think about it deeply. Because, if Wei Zhuhui can't cook a table of dishes, Yinuo can do it alone.

After Wei Zhuhui made the announcement, she took Yinuo to the vegetable market. When shopping for vegetables, Mother Chen bought this dish freshly, bought that dish cheaply, saw how many people were buying at the shop next door, and bought it too... In short, Mother Chen bought a lot of vegetables. Xia Yinuo felt that it was enough to eat so many dishes for three days.

However, Wei Zhuhui couldn't help but be in high spirits! Xia Yinuo just carried the vegetables.

Wei Zhuhui said while buying groceries, “Yinuo! In fact, being able to cook is very important. Thinking that the whole family likes the dishes you cook, it gives you a sense of accomplishment."

Xia Yinuo agrees with this. Every time when the dishes are on the table and I get compliments, I feel like I've eaten candy, and it's sweet.

"Well! When others praise the delicious food, I feel very happy. The fatigue after a busy day will disappear without realizing it." Xia Yinuo continued.

Wei Zhuhui held her bamboo shoots, turned around, and nodded, “Yes, yes. But Chen Yang's father won't let me cook. In fact, I think I am quite talented in cooking, but I have never had the opportunity. Show off your skills.”

No chance to show off your skills?

You haven't done it before, have you?

Xia Yinuo was surprised, but facing Wei Zhuhui's excitement and excitement, Xia Yinuo felt that he should not discourage her from cooking. Anyway, I still have mine, so I can still eat it.

So, Xia Yinuo echoed, “Today, mom can show her hand to them."

"Yes, I'm going to show off my skills today." Wei Zhuhui put the weighed bamboo shoots into the shopping bag with a happy expression, "I tell you, if you want to catch a man, you have to catch his stomach. ..."

Xia Yinuo and the driver carried a bunch of vegetables back. Chen Ji and Chen Yang were shocked.

"Can you eat all the food you bought?" Chen Ji asked nervously.

Chen Yang walked to the kitchen, swept through the pile of vegetables piled on the floor, and asked suspiciously, “Mom, can you cook it?"

Wei Zhuhui took a small stool, sat down, glanced up at Chen Yang, and replied confidently, “If you can't finish it, you'll eat it tomorrow. I watch Mrs. Wang cook every day! It's very simple."

Listening to their conversation, Xia Yinuo was surprised again: Mom, you don't think you can cook just by looking at it, do you? I thought Mom, your cooking skills were not high, but Dad and Chen Yang were skeptical. It sounds like you have never done anything or cooked before, so this will be a problem.

It's okay, I'm here! Xia Yinuo comforted himself that nothing could go wrong with me. Food is my specialty.

Chen Yang was worried but did not dampen Wei Zhuhui's confidence. She fiddled with a pile of dishes and said enthusiastically, “Everyone orders one dish, and I take care of the rest."

Chen Yang looked at the dishes, then at his particularly confident mother, and hesitated. Yueyue, who was painting in the living room, dropped her pen and shouted happily, “Grandma, do I want prawns or chicken wings?"

"Prawns!" Wei Zhuhui rummaged through the pile of vegetables. By chance, the shrimps were in a bag not far from her feet. Wei Zhuhui said hurriedly, "Prawns, yes, yes. I'll cook the prawns for you."

"We also have chicken wings. I'll fry chicken wings for Yueyue. How about Yueyue?" Wei Zhuhui asked with a smile as she looked at Yueyue running over.

Yueyue saw the prawns, squatted down, touched them with her hands, and said, "Okay."

"what about you?"

Wei Zhuhui raised his head and glanced at Chen Yang beside him and Chen Ji sitting in the living room.

"It's up to us." Chen Yang and Chen's father said in unison.

Wei Zhuhui glared, “No. Everyone orders the same thing."

Chen Yang and Chen Ji looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Sweet and sour pork ribs!" Chen Yang casually ordered a dish.

"Tomato and egg soup, this is easy to make." Chen Ji thought that he should order something simple, maybe he could make do with it.

"Well! Let's cook a plate of small yellow croakers and make homemade tofu, so that my parents can have food to eat." Wei Zhuhui was very meticulous. Grandpa and grandma’s dishes have been thought of.

Xia Yinuo followed everyone's orders and started picking out the side dishes.

The shrimps need to be washed and their claws cut off, the ribs need to be soaked in water, the small yellow croaker needs to be defrosted, the chicken wings need to be washed and marinated in advance, the onions, ginger and garlic need to be picked out, washed, cut into pieces or diced or minced.

Xia Yinuo thought about it in his mind. The sweet and sour pork ribs ordered by Chen Yang was considered a big dish, and Yueyue's prawns seemed to be no other big dishes. This order might not be enough. There are eight people in the family, not counting nannies, drivers and others, and there must be at least ten dishes for eight people. There are only six dishes, and a few more need to be added. Xia Yinuo thought about it and added another stewed beef brisket with potatoes. He didn't order any vegetarian dishes. He still had to make two or three more vegetarian dishes, so let's have oyster sauce lettuce, vegetarian three delicacies, and stir-fried shrimps with lily and celery!

Xia Yinuo started picking up the vegetables, “I'll pick up the vegetables. Mom, you go and take a rest first!"

Wei Zhuhui would not feel tired if she had the opportunity to cook, “I'm not tired."

Xia Yinuo picked and washed the vegetables and plated them in an orderly manner.

Wei Zhuhui was also busy with the dishes she thought she had to choose. And asked Xia Yinuo from time to time, “What is this dish used for? Why is it already on the plate?"

"Pick and wash them first. When the time comes, just pick them up and make them. Convenient!" Xia Yinuo replied.

…

everything's ready.

"I'm going to fry chicken wings for Yueyue. It's simple, just put it in a pan and fry it. Grandma can do it!" Wei Zhuhui said to himself.

Xia Yinuo was busy peeling potatoes. I thought to myself, fried chicken wings is simple. Put the chicken wings in a pot and fry over medium-low heat for a few minutes. When it looks cooked, you can pick it up and put it on a plate. Then I will carve a flower and put it on the plate. The fried chicken wings will be exquisite and beautiful. . Xia Yinuo lowered his head and did his work. Wei Zhuhui poured the oil and turned on the range hood. Wei Zhuhui picked up the chicken wings with chopsticks and threw them into the oil pan. A "sizzling" sound was heard...

"Ouch, it's burned to death." Wei Zhuhui's shout came along with the sound of the range hood.

"What happened?"

Chen Ji threw away the newspaper and walked over quickly.

Xia Yinuo quickly got up and turned off the gas stove.

"The oil splashed, it hurts like hell." Wei Zhuhui covered her hand where the oil had splashed.

When Xia Yinuo heard that the oil had splashed, he quickly opened the refrigerator and took out small ice cubes. "First apply ice to cool down the skin."

"Yes, ice compress." Chen Ji quickly took the ice cube and applied it to Wei Zhuhui's hand, ignoring the melted water dripping down.

Yinuo quickly took a towel and put it under it.

"How is it? Does it still hurt?" Chen Ji asked with concern.

Wei Zhuhui frowned and said reluctantly, “It's better."

Chen Ji helped Wei Zhuhui to the living room and sat on the sofa, “I'll go to the hospital later."

"No, just one or two drops." Wei Zhuhuicai didn't finish it, but she wanted to run to the hospital. How could she be willing? Besides, it really only spilled two drops. At that time, she was just frightened, so she couldn't help but scream. from. Wei Zhuhui said awkwardly, “Just apply some burn ointment for a while."

Chen Ji took off the ice and looked at it carefully. There are indeed only two small red spots on Wei Zhuhui's hands and no blisters, so it shouldn't be serious.

"I'm going to get the burn ointment." Chen Yang said and stood up to get the spare medicine box.

Wei Zhuhui listened to the sound of the range hood and complained, “Hey! I got burned before I even finished cooking. Why is this happening?"

Seeing that Wei Zhuhui was burned, Chen Ji started nagging, “What kind of food do you cook? I have no hope in the food you cook. Originally, I planned to order takeout if the food was inedible."

After hearing this, Wei Zhuhui was unhappy. She glared sideways and shouted, "Why can't you eat the food I cooked?"

"When will the food you cook be eaten? If it's not burnt, half-cooked, or too salty to be imported,...when will it be eaten?" Since Chen Ji didn't save any face for Wei Zhuhui, he was completely upset. come out.

"I, I learned it from Aunt Wang again." Wei Zhuhui suddenly lost her momentum and said embarrassedly.

"Come on!"

Chen Ji rolled his eyes. He thought to himself: You are not good at cooking. If you hire a first-class chef to teach you, you won’t be able to cook either.

Xia Yinuo pursed her lips and smiled. It turned out that her mother-in-law didn't know how to cook, but she still wanted to cook.

Looking at the two people glaring at each other, Xia Yinuo smiled and said, “I'll cook lunch! The food I cook is still edible. Just don't dislike it."

Chen Ji said hesitantly, “Let's order! It's not that I don't believe in your craftsmanship, but I'm afraid that this table of dishes will tire you out."

How could Xia Yinuo be tired with a table of dishes?

"It's okay. During the Chinese New Year, I also helped cook at grandma's house. Besides, the dishes have been washed. If you don't cook them, it will be wasted."

Wei Zhuhui said, “Then you can cook two less dishes, as long as they are enough to eat. Stop cooking when you are tired."

"knew."

After Xia Yinuo agreed, he went to the kitchen and got busy in an orderly manner. The dishes are all ready, just put them in the pan and fry them, and the aroma of the dishes will spread quickly.

"Dad, Mom, we're back." The sister-in-law's voice came from the hall.

"Simin is back!" Wei Zhuhui went over to pick up Simin and kissed her.

"Grandma." Simin called, looking directly at Yueyue.

Seeing this, Wei Zhuhui nodded Simin's nose and said with a smile, “If you have a sister, you don't need a grandma anymore. Let's go play!"

As soon as Wei Zhuhui put down Simin, Simin ran towards Yueyue. The two little people soon got to play together. Doudou, who was sitting in the car, was so anxious that he screamed "Wow!" The room was very lively.

Wei Zhuhui and Chen Yang looked worriedly at Xia Yinuo in the kitchen. Not sure she can finish a table full of dishes. Wei Zhuhui was annoyed: I should have known better to eat out or order food. Chen Yang scanned the eldest brother's family. There were three more people here, and he didn't know whether the food was enough or delicious. Don't let Xia Yinuo be laughed at. How about ordering two takeaways?

Chen Yang was still thinking when he heard Xia Yinuo call him, “Chen Yang, come and serve the food."

"Hey! Here we come." Chen Yang walked over doubtfully. Is the dish ready?

The eldest sister-in-law looked at Xia Yinuo who was busy in the kitchen in surprise and said with a smile, “Why, I haven't been here for a long time. The family has changed. My younger siblings can both cook and cook, and my younger brother can do some cooking?"
