Gu Shihan was lost in thought for a moment before she walked over with a smile on her face and took the initiative to greet her, “Sister Wen.”
“Shihan, why did you think of coming over today, is there something wrong?”
Wen Shihan looked over sideways, her gaze was very gentle.
Gu Shihan was fiddling with the second baby in the cradle while responding, “Actually, it’s not much, I just miss the second baby, so I came over to take a look and ask sister if she has anything to bring to Jing Chen, I plan to go over to see Jing Chen tomorrow.”
“I see that you see the child is a fake, the back is the focus.” Wen Shiyu looked over in a protesting manner.
Gu Shihan was shy.
But she didn’t deny it either, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
After some laughing brains, she once again pulled the conversation back to bringing something.
“When I talked to Jing Chen on the phone two days ago, Jing Chen said that he especially wanted to eat the sweet and sour chops made by Sister Wen, so I came to find Sister Wen, hoping that Sister Wen could make some for Jing Chen for me to bring over in a vacuum.”
“That’s not a problem, I’ll have someone prepare the ingredients right now.”
Wen Shiyu said, and instructed Uncle Chen to have the kitchen prepare the ingredients.
Not long after, she took Gu Shihan to the kitchen.
Looking at Wen Shiyu’s skilful cooking, Gu Shihan also felt a bit of longing.
She also wanted to cook a meal for Wen Jingchen with her own hands.
“Sister Wen, can you teach me to cook the dishes that Jing Chen likes to eat?”
Gu Shihan voiced out what was in her heart.
Wen Shiyu naturally agreed and then, realising that they still had plenty of time, had the kitchen prepare another batch of ingredients.
“After the chops are cut, soak them in cold water first to soak out the blood inside ……”
Wen Shiyu’s tutorial voice came out intermittently from the kitchen.
It is reasonable to say that her teaching is very meticulous, and even a white person who has never cooked before can at least do a decent job.
But the result is that Gu Shihan is a dark cook.
It was clear that Wen Shiyu was already teaching the cooking process by hand, and was even watching from the sidelines herself.
But when it came time to try the taste, the sour taste made her unable to take a second bite.
After experiencing yet another dark dish, Wen Shiyu gave up on Gu Shihan.
At the same time, she also persuaded Gu Shihan to give up, “Actually, you don’t need to be so obsessive about cooking, Jing Chen can cook, let him cook for you in the future.”
Gu Shihan had a reluctant look on her face.
It was one thing that Wen Jingchen could cook, but she also wanted to cook for Wen Jingchen herself.
However, when sister Wen had said this, Gu Shihan did not insist, but made up her mind to go back and practice more.
Wen Shiyu did not know this.
She vacuum-packed her sweet and sour chops and a few marinated dishes, and sent Gu Shihan away.
When she returned, Gu Shihan piled straight into the kitchen.
Gu’s mother was worried and jealous when she learnt that Gu Shihan wanted to cook a meal for Wen Jingchen.
She was worried that her daughter, who had never cooked before, would be able to eat the food she made.
And she was jealous because she, as Gu Shihan’s mother, had never eaten anything her own daughter had cooked.
The same thought was shared by Gu’s father and Gu’s elder brother who had returned from work.
Just at that moment, Gu Shihan had finally made a sweet and sour pork chop.
This chop was better selling than the one she made at Imperial View Lan Court, and it looked a success in terms of colour and flavour.
Seeing this, Father Gu and Big Brother Gu immediately spoke out, “Shihan, it’s rare for you to go down to the kitchen for once, so give us a taste of how this dish tastes before you load it up for that boy Jing Chen.”
Feeling that this was reasonable, Gu Shihan hurriedly drew three pairs of chopsticks and went out of the kitchen.
“Mom and Dad, big brother, you guys help me taste how it tastes.”
As she spoke, she fended the chopsticks off.
Gu’s father and the three of them were not polite either, each chucking a piece of the chops into their mouths.
Then the three of them had a very tacit agreement to collectively freeze their faces.
The taste of the chops was indescribably strange, bitter and astringent in its sourness.
Gu Shihan didn’t know and was still looking at the trio attentively.
In the face of her fiery gaze, Gu’s father and the three of them chewed the chops in their mouths mechanically as if they were chewing wax.
