Chapter 894 Extra Story 5: Marriage Proposal (End)

After eating a bowl of stewed meat, Jiang Feng immediately felt relieved.

What he didn't know was that he was relieved, but Jiang Jiankang, who was squatting at the door of the kitchen and watching Jiang Feng's meal secretly, was not.

When Jiang Feng got off the plane, he asked Jiang Jiankang to buy him pork belly. After buying the pork belly, he immediately asked the hotel to borrow the kitchen to make stew.Jiang Jiankang was also idle, thinking that his son was going to cook something delicious to show off his talent in front of his future father-in-law, so he squatted at the kitchen door to observe closely.

Jiang Jiankang didn't expect that instead of being delicious, what Jiang Feng cooked was the white water stew that the Jiang family frightened.

Which of Jiang's strong-boned, 200-pound men didn't have weak legs in front of the stewed meat. Jiang Jiankang squatted at the kitchen door so far away that he couldn't smell the smell. He just looked at the bowl full of stewed meat in Jiang Feng's bowl from afar. Just shivering.

Then, while trembling, he watched Jiang Feng gobble up a pound of stewed meat. After eating, he hiccupped unsatisfactorily. It's not because of being too nervous and mentally disturbed.

Jiang Jiankang slipped away and went back to his room to discuss with Wang Xiulian about his son's mental problems.

Soon, thanks to Jiang Jiankang's big mouth, news spread that Jiang Feng had eaten a pound of stewed meat before dinner.Not only Wu Minqi and the two old men knew about this, but even the two sisters Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian who had just arrived at the hotel and hadn't packed their luggage knew about it.

Jiang Weiming is now a serious person, an old man in his [-]s, he was still a little surprised when he heard about this, and said to Jiang Weiguo with a smile: "In the past two years, I still think Xiaofeng is a stable kid. Quite a few, I didn’t expect him to be as far-fetched as before, what do you think he’s eating a pound of stew all of a sudden?”

Although Jiang Weiming had never seen it, he had heard about the power of stewed meat.

"Who knows what he's doing with his stewed meat?" the old man said, thinking of the bowl of stewed meat he had when he went to his father-in-law's house for the first time.

It was one of the scariest memories of my life.

Jiang's family were very curious, but Wu Minqi was the only one who really asked this question.

Wu Minqi didn't go home for more than half a year. Even if she came back this time for engagement, the first thing she did when she got home was to spend most of the day chatting with her parents.So after leaving the airport, the Jiang family and the Wu family actually split into two groups. It was almost dinner time before Wu Minqi came to the hotel to pick up the Jiang family and go home for dinner.

Although the meal tonight is a casual meal, and the official engagement banquet is tomorrow, the really important thing is this meal tonight.Tonight's meal is for the serious in-laws, and tomorrow's is the engagement banquet.

There are many Wu family members, except for the kind of relatives who are too far away, it is really difficult to distinguish the distant relatives from the other relatives, even if some are close and some do not have much contact with each other. Everyone is treated equally, and everyone who should be invited must be invited.

Wu's restaurant will be closed for half a day tomorrow just for Wu Minqi's engagement banquet.Mother Wu also told Wu Minqi and Jiang Feng beforehand that the two of them don't have to do anything tomorrow, they just need to toast each other and recognize people and talk about the scene.Mother Wu also specially told Jiang Feng not to be so sincere when toasting, but to be bold when toasting, and to have a taste when drinking, otherwise Jiang Feng might find it difficult to walk out of Wu's restaurant in a straight line.

Wu Minqi felt that her mother had overestimated Jiang Feng's drinking capacity.

"Fengfeng, I heard that you borrowed the hotel kitchen this afternoon to make a pound of stewed meat and ate it all. Why are you suddenly eating stewed meat?" Wu Minqi asked on the way to Wu's house.

Jiang Feng didn't expect that the fact that he ate meat to strengthen his courage would be exposed so quickly, and he said very sincerely: "Be courageous."

Wu Minqi:?

Jiang Feng started his performance: "Qiqi, you don't know what stewed meat means to us. I even ate a pound of stewed meat this afternoon. What else is there to be afraid of?"

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, Jiang Junlian, who was sitting in the co-pilot, nodded again and again, and turned her head to agree: "My little brother is right, what's so scary after eating all the stew!"

"Brother, don't worry. My sister and I are here tonight. We have memorized all the information you gave us first. Don't worry, it will be fine." Jiang Jun please also cheer Jiang Feng up.

Hearing what the two cousins ​​said, Jiang Feng felt a little more confident.

Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian took a special plane to Shudi this time, not just because she attended the engagement banquet as Jiang Feng's cousin, they came with a mission, otherwise, why would so many people in the Jiang family send them besides important people? Come two.

The two sisters Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian have been gifted with a skill since they were young, and they have won the favor of their elders.With a clever mouth, people speak human words, and ghosts talk nonsense, but it happens that the twins have a tacit understanding, flattering and singing one harmony, one plus one is greater than two.During Chinese New Year a few years ago, Grandma Jiang's old sister came to play mahjong at home without saying that the two sisters are sensible and obedient.

Jiang Junlian is especially good at reading people's faces, and she is the main player who flatters her. Jiang Junqing is more like a fan of her, playing the icing on the cake at critical moments.

For this engagement banquet, Jiang Feng compiled all the relevant information he could think of into documents and sent them to the two sisters two weeks in advance. Relevant awards, the history of the Wu family restaurant, the simple interpersonal relationship of the Wu family, etc.The two sisters have memorized the materials hard for the past two weeks, and they didn't even take it so seriously when they were in Kaomayuan.
.
Soon, the group arrived at Wu's house.

Wu Minqi's house is still the same as it was a few years ago. The furniture and furnishings have not changed. If you insist on saying that there is any difference, it is a bit scary to clean. The ten-year-old floor is shining, and those who don't know it think it has been waxed. Overlight.

Today's dinner was made by Wu Hanxue.

Mr. Wu was also there but did not cook. When the Jiang family arrived, they were sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea.There were three plates of fruits on the tea table, all of which had been cut, washed and carefully arranged. Besides the fruits, there were also small snacks like melon seeds and plums, which was enough to show the seriousness of the host.

As soon as the Jiang family came, Mama Wu wanted to pour tea for everyone, but Jiang Weiming refused with a smile: "There is no need to pour the tea, I think the food here is also on the table, let's eat directly."

After Jiang Weiming said this, Mr. Wu put down his teacup, got up, walked towards the dining table, and sat on Jiang Weiming's right.

Mr. Wu is getting old, and since last year he no longer manages the business of the restaurant, but only occasionally visits the restaurant. Now Wu Hanxue is in charge of the Wu family restaurant. Although the business has declined slightly, it is not obvious, and there is no major disturbance.

"Old Wu, I heard that you have also retired." Jiang Weiming said with a smile.

"Of course you have to retire when you are old. Do you think everyone is like you, and you can still dance in the back kitchen in your 90s." Mr. Wu said quietly, with some envy and hatred in his tone.

"It doesn't work anymore, even if I go to the store occasionally to check the kitchen, I don't go in."

Just as he was talking, Wu Hanxue brought the last soup to the table, and the dishes for tonight were considered complete.

Boiled fish, sweet-skinned duck, hibiscus chicken slices, husband and wife lung slices, steamed green eel, fish-flavored eggplant, oil-drenched cabbage and mutton soup.

They are not some expensive dishes. There are no abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, bird's nest, or even broth dishes.Just like Wu's mother said, it's a simple meal, and the two families get together to chat.

"The dishes are all ready, let's eat quickly. I remember there is still a bottle of good wine at home. I will open it for everyone." Mother Wu smiled, walked into the room and took out a bottle of wine, and gave it to everyone present. The male compatriots poured half a cup.

Wu Hanxue and Mr. Wu are not talkative people, without the active atmosphere of Wu's mother, the atmosphere at the dinner table was silent for a while, which was a bit scary.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng brought two cousins.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jiang Junlian quickly picked up a chopstick of fish-flavored eggplant, and said sweetly after eating: "Uncle Wu, the eggplant you made is really delicious. My brother is right, he told me before that you cook The fish-flavored eggplant has a special flavor."

Hearing what Jiang Junlian said, a smile appeared on Wu Hanxue's face.

Who is Jiang Feng now? He is the chef with the highest ranking in the list of active chefs in China, and he is destined to unify the future masters of the chef world.He said that Wu Hanxue's fish-flavored eggplant had a special flavor, and it was not from Jiang Feng's mouth but from his cousin, which made Wu Hanxue even more happy.

"Really, why didn't I know about this?" Wu Hanxue said.

"Of course you don't know. My brother told us this a few years ago. At that time, my brother was still studying in University A." Jiang Junlian said, cue Jiang Junqing, "Is that right?"

"Yes." Although Jiang Junqing didn't know what kind of medicine his sister sold in the gourd, he still nodded in agreement, "At that time, my sister and I would go to my little brother's shop for dinner when we had no classes on Sundays."

Now Wu Hanxue was a little confused: "Then why would he tell you that the fish-flavored eggplant I made has a special flavor?"

"At that time, sister Qiqi and my younger brother didn't participate in the Haowei Kitchen King Competition? I remember that my younger brother hadn't confessed his love to sister Qiqi at that time. You and Aunt Wu came to see sister Qiqi in city A. See you The store is too busy at noon, so she cooks and helps with the cooking." Jiang Junlian subtly described being cheated as a helper, "I have loved eggplant since I was a child, and when you helped to cook the vegetables that day, the best seller in the store was yours. Fish-flavored eggplant."

Having said that, Jiang Junlian sighed.

"It's a pity that I couldn't eat the eggplant you made in class that day, but my brother did. On the weekend, my brother even praised your fish-flavored eggplant. I don't remember what you said specifically. Instead, I will eat it." I remember that at that time, I really wanted to eat the fish-flavored eggplant that my brother said you made, but at that time, my brother didn’t know how to do it.”

"I almost forgot about it at first, but I remembered it after I ate it just now. What my little brother told me earlier was right. The fish-flavored eggplant you made is really different. It is better than what I used to eat. The fish-flavored eggplants that arrive are all delicious, even my little brother can't make this kind of taste." In order to prove the truth of what she said, Jiang Junlian took two more fish-flavored eggplants with her chopsticks.

"Yes, yes, I have never eaten fish-flavored eggplant with this flavor." Jiang Junqing began to laugh.

Wu Han was really happy to learn this, and even brought a smile on Mr. Wu's face.

"It's okay, if you want to eat, you can stay here for a few more days, let Qiqi lead you to play more, and come to the store when it's time for dinner, and uncle will make fish-flavored eggplant for you." Wu Hanxue only felt comfortable in the whole body, even with Jiang Feng was pleasing to the eye a lot.

Originally, he felt that Jiang Feng was too honest, and there was no harm in being an honest child, but he was not smooth enough and could suffer losses, most importantly, he could easily suffer losses along with his family Qiqi.

Now it seems that sincerity is not a bad thing, look at Jiang Feng's two cousins, they are both children of sincerity, how attractive they are!
The sincere child Jiang Junlian showed a sincere smile.

"Yes, stay here for a few more days and have fun around here. If your Uncle Wu doesn't have time to make it for you, grandpa will do it for you." Mr. Wu said with a smile.

Jiang Feng was dumbfounded, silently praised Jiang Junlian in his heart, and decided to give her an extra portion of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

With Jiang Junlian's gag, the dinner table was filled with joy, peace and love.The two female representatives, Wang Xiulian and Wu Mama, also opened up the conversation box. They had a good time and everything was moving in a good direction.

Wu Minqi also took this opportunity to whisper to Wu's mother that Jiang Feng ate a catty of stewed meat this afternoon to strengthen her courage.

After listening to it, Mother Wu couldn't help laughing, and told Wu Hanxue in a low voice, which stunned Wu Hanxue, and began to reflect on whether her attitude towards Jiang Feng was really not good.

Look, the future son-in-law is so frightened that he wants to eat stew to strengthen his courage.

Wu Hanxue was inexplicably satisfied with Jiang Feng.

The meal is almost finished, and it's time to change the cup.

It was time for Jiang Feng to toast.

The first ones to respect are naturally Wu Hanxue and Wu's mother.

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, I respect..." Jiang Feng was interrupted by Wu Hanxue as soon as he raised his glass.

"Still called Uncle Wu?" Wu Hanxue tried hard to look kind.

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, further confirming his position as an honest son-in-law, and then he realized that he was ecstatic.

Stew really works!

The pound of stew this afternoon was not in vain!
"Dad, Mom, I offer you a toast!"

……

That night, Jiang Feng left in a curved line.

Wu Minqi sent them back, while Wu's mother and Wu Hanxue stayed at home to clean up.

"Xiaofeng, I don't think he drinks much at ordinary times. The amount of alcohol is really not very good. He didn't drink two glasses today. It seems that there are less than three glasses in total." Wu's mother felt that if it wasn't for Jiang Feng, there was something in her heart. With a strong will to keep himself from getting drunk, he probably didn't walk the curve back but was carried back by Jiang Jiankang.

"It's better not to drink. If a chef likes to drink, it's troublesome. Drinking is easy to cause trouble." Wu Hanxue spoke kind words for Jiang Feng very rarely.

"Hey, the sun came out from the west today, and I actually heard good things about Xiaofeng from you." Mother Wu laughed.

Wu Han looked a little nervous: "Look at what you said, it seems that I am not satisfied with Jiang Feng."

Mama Wu smiled and said nothing.

After everything was tidied up, Mother Wu finally remembered a serious matter that she should discuss with Wu Hanxue: "By the way, I have seen the community where Qiqi and Xiaofeng bought the wedding house that I discussed with my in-laws earlier. Their building, upstairs, has a small-sized house that is particularly nice, and I plan to take a look at it after a while."

"What are you doing looking at the house?"

"Look at what you said, I'm going to retire soon, and we only have one daughter, Qiqi. What are you doing looking at the house? Of course, I bought it and moved to live with Qiqi! Otherwise, it would be like this, all year round. I won't see my daughter once or twice." Mother Wu said.

Wu Hanxue frowned: "You are about to retire, but I have just taken over here, and it is estimated that you will not be able to retire in 20 years."

"So what I'm looking at is a small apartment, and it's fine for me to live alone."

Wu Hanxue: ...

He felt that his good impression of Jiang Feng that he had just raised was gone in an instant.
