Chapter 133 Barely Worthy
Uncle Zheng smiled, and said casually, "Mr. Wang, if you want to eat it in the future, just let me know, and Xiao Gu will come over and make it for you."
Uncle Zheng later found out that Wei Wanrong had deliberately made things difficult for Gu Wan.
In his heart, Gu Wan must be more important than Wei Wanrong, so he deliberately mentioned Gu Wan's name more in front of Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang nodded, took a bite of rice noodles and then tasted the minced meat.
It’s true, after taking a bite, he didn’t feel the greasy and disgusting feeling he usually had when eating meat.
Just smelling the fragrance, Mr. Wang couldn't help but eat bite after bite, especially the pickled cabbage.
It’s very authentic, and tastes very similar to the one that Mr. Wang’s mother made as he remembered.
Conditions were poor at that time, especially in winter when there was basically no food to eat. His mother took great pains to make the sauerkraut more delicious.
In this way, the family can eat better.
Now when Mr. Wang eats the sauerkraut rice noodles with a similar taste, what he is actually feeling more is a feeling of nostalgia for his hometown and his mother.
Seeing that Old Wang ate a big bowl of rice noodles with a big appetite, not only Wang Xiuxiu but also Wei Wanrong was very surprised.
As family members, they of course knew that the old man had not had a good appetite in recent years and nothing tasted good.
Wei Wanrong was originally very worried, and even considered whether she should make an exception and ask the chef from a big hotel to come back and cook a special meal for her father-in-law.
Now seeing that Old Wang is eating so happily, does that mean that this problem has been easily solved by that little girl?
Wang Xiuxiu's expression was extremely interesting. She couldn't help but look jealously at Gu Wan who was also obviously very beautiful.
I couldn't help but mutter to myself: What's so great about that? He's just a cook!
Although she thought so in her heart, Wang Xiuxiu couldn't help but continue to look over there, and even began to compare herself with Gu Wan in her mind.
Judging from her age and appearance alone, Wang Xiuxiu admitted that she was no match for the young chef.
But no matter what, Gu Wan is just a country girl. In this respect, she is definitely no match for me.
Wang Xiuxiu held her head high, and in an instant she was full of confidence in herself.
Her brother was a comrade-in-arms with Qi Bin before he retired from the army, so he knew more or less about Qi Bin's family background, especially his grandfather who was a well-known figure in the capital.
Only I can barely be worthy of a Brother Qi like this, and a little village girl can never even dream of him.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiuxiu felt much better. She didn't care so much and just watched calmly as her grandfather took a rare bite of food with satisfaction.
Since Wang Lao had eaten up all the sauerkraut and minced pork rice noodles, it meant that Gu Wan’s cooking skills were recognized by her.
Even Mr. Wang was very happy and praised Gu Wan greatly.
It is rare for her to have such good cooking skills at such a young age. She is truly a rare talent.
Gu Wan was definitely humble and did not continue to stay in the living room to greet everyone. He went back to the kitchen to cook other dishes.
The main dishes are basically prepared in advance, and some need to be cooked on the spot, with the help of Gu Xiang and Aunt Wang.
Therefore, even if Gu Wan planned to cook a total of twelve dishes, the speed was not slow. When it came to the actual meal, Wei Wanrong even began to feel ashamed, perhaps she was really influenced by her daughter's words and had a prejudice.
In fact, this Gu Wan's meal was not bad. She had eaten it in the kitchenette before and it tasted quite good. It was just because Wei Wanrong wanted to make her daughter angry.
While eating, he deliberately kept a blank expression and even had a hint of disgust in his expression.
Secretary Zhao noticed it and asked directly, "Comrade Wei, do you think it tastes bad?"
Because it was pointed out in public, Wei Wanrong felt a little embarrassed and gave Gu Wan another point in her mind.
But now it seems that she was really wrong for looking at people with a narrow vision.
I won’t comment on other things for now, but Gu Wan’s cooking skills are truly amazing.
Mr. Wang had already eaten a bowl of rice noodles before, and when the meal actually started, he ate another bowl with the delicious dishes on the table.
Moreover, Gu Wan also prepared some dishes that can be stored, such as braised beef, just like the last time she cooked at Uncle Zheng's house.
At least the Wang family could still have several meals, especially after the meal, Mr. Wang specially gave Gu Wan a big red envelope to thank her.
"I may not be born rich, and I am not used to eating meat and fish. Comrade Gu, your bowl of pickled cabbage rice noodles today really touched my heart."
Then, Mr. Wang directly answered everyone's doubts: "This rice noodle is exactly the same as what I ate when I was a child in my hometown."
Wang was in a good mood, so he continued to explain in detail: "When I was a child, my mother would make pickled cabbage rice noodles for me during the Chinese New Year and my birthday. She would also add poached eggs. For me at that time, that should be the best memory of my life."
In fact, Mr. Wang still finds it amazing, because he thinks such authentic hometown flavor can be made by such a young girl.
In the past few years, he has met many chefs and many talents in Yangjiang, but there is really no one else who can reach such a level.
So he asked with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Gu, how did you come up with the idea of making this rice noodle?"
Gu Wan also laughed, but explained: "I asked Uncle Zheng before and learned that your hometown is over there, and I happened to learn how to make pickled cabbage rice noodles. I'm not really good with my hands, but I just happen to know how to make a few home-cooked dishes, so I boldly wanted to try it for you."
Obviously, Gu Wan's attempt was very successful.
So Old Wang turned around and smiled at Uncle Zheng: "Old Zheng, you have found a treasure in the commune down there. Comrade Xiao Gu is very outstanding."
Uncle Zheng also praised Gu Wan: "That's right, although Comrade Gu is young, her cooking skills are really top-notch. Everyone who has eaten her cooking will praise her. My wife and I live there now and are reluctant to leave, all because of Xiao Gu."
Everyone laughed. This was not a lie. The Zheng family actually had a courtyard near the county party committee.
But Lao Zheng would rather live in the countryside, saying that the soil and water there are good for health.
Now it's even more outrageous. He directly said that he was envious of the food cooked by the little girl.
So everyone here followed Uncle Wang Zheng's words and kept praising Gu Wan. Even Wei Wanrong's attitude softened a bit.
Wang Xiuxiu couldn't stand it anymore. She was the youngest child in the family, and her parents, grandfather, and brothers always coaxed and gave in to her.
How could she bear the fact that they were all praising another girl who was about the same age as her, especially when this girl was trying to snatch Brother Qi from her.
