Chapter 27: Inferior

This meal was attended entirely by family members, and Qiao Yuemei happened to have returned, so Gu Wan's parents and brothers were all present, making the whole family complete.

So Mrs. Gu decided that this time she would seriously introduce each family member to Gu Wan one by one.

Before the incident at home, the Gu family actually lived a very good life.

Gu Mingfeng is a craftsman and has three sons, so his family has no worries about food and drink.

It seems that the Gu family is living together now, but in fact, the family has separated after the three brothers started their own families.

They live separately. Anyway, the eldest aunt Gu, the second aunt Gu and the third aunt Gu all have their own families, and the two elders are still able to move.

There is no need to trouble your son too much if he can support himself. The Gu family originally lived a scattered yet united life. It is difficult to find a more harmonious family in the Hongqi Brigade or even the Yongfeng Commune.

No one had expected that the unexpected would happen, and in the blink of an eye, the Gu family would encounter so many troubles.

But after Gu Mingfeng's legs and feet became unsteady, the daughter-in-law of the eldest Gu family had difficulties in giving birth, and the third Gu family had an incident where the wrong daughter was given. The old lady was worried.

Isn't it true that a family will be more prosperous if it stays together?
The three families are together again, especially since Gu Wan has returned, so they have been eating together these days with a large table each time.

There were too many people, so the old lady wanted to let her eldest granddaughter identify them all quickly.

Otherwise, it would be bad if the granddaughter could not recognize her elders when they walked face to face in the village.

At the old lady's command, the three brothers Gu Zhiguo immediately brought their wives and children to enthusiastically introduce themselves to Gu Wan.

Gu Zhiguo and his wife, and their two sons, the eldest has started a family and his wife just gave birth to a child;

Then came the second son, Gu Zhijun and his wife, and their two sons.

Needless to say, the third couple are Gu Wan’s biological parents, and he also has two biological brothers, Gu Shu and Gu Lin.

By the way, Gu Wan actually has an aunt who is the best married woman in the family and even in the entire Red Flag Brigade.

Gu Xiang was smart and her family was willing to support her education. At that time, studying was still useful, so she went all the way to high school in the county.

In the end, she successfully married her classmate, the son of a factory leader in the county. So everyone praised Gu Xiang for making a big leap forward.

After getting married, Gu Xiang changed her household registration to that of a city dweller and successfully found a job in the county.

However, several years have passed and I have always been just a temporary worker, mainly because there are only so many factories in the county.

It's not easy to keep this iron rice bowl. Regular jobs with a fixed salary are very popular.

Even so, Gu Xiang was the best off in the old Gu family and often came back to visit her parents with lots of luggage.

It was fine before, but recently, I don’t know why, I haven’t been back to my parents’ home for more than a year.

This made the two elders very angry, and they scolded their daughter for being unfilial at home.

With this comparison, Shi Guixiang loved her only granddaughter even more, but she didn't expect...

Gu Mingfeng and Shi Guixiang are also tough. When problems arise at home, they don't want to ask their married daughter for help, so Gu Xiang is not at home at the moment.

Wow! Gu Wan gave a thumbs up in his heart. The Gu family is really a wealthy and powerful family.

If the original owner had not been framed by Qin Shiman and sent to another place as an educated youth, and had the Gu family around, how could the original owner's life have been so miserable if Gu Wan had not come?
What she didn't know was that Qin Shiman still had a strategy system at that time, because she had successfully seized the luck of the female supporting role.

Therefore, the better the Gu family does, the more Qin Shiman gains.

Now with her arrival, everything has turned around.

Gu Wan didn't know that because she showed off her cooking skills in front of her family, her grandmother and mother had such a misunderstanding. Even though there were only vegetarian dishes in the evening, plus the shredded potatoes and egg soup made by Qiao Yuemei, the main thing was that the quantity was large and filling.

As a result, the whole pot of rice was eaten up.

After the meal, everyone praised Gu Wan. Even Qiao Yuemei said, "Wan Wan, your cooking skills are better than mine."

The taste of her food is only relative, as she is more willing to use more oil than most families.

Another thing is that also at banquets, fried meat is of course delicious.

But for someone like Wanwan, who could cook cabbage and cucumber so deliciously, Qiao Yuemei felt that she could not compare to her daughter in this respect.

"Mom, that's not the case. I am greedy just to eat more delicious food. I studied cooking on purpose, not only reading a lot of books but also learning from a great chef."

Gu Wan said this on purpose. With the Qin family's connections, it would be easy for her to get to know the chef, and she would have enough reasons to announce her cooking skills to the public in the future.

Qiao Yuemei nodded, "It's true. The chefs in the province are much better than those from places like ours."

She used to be a kitchen helper, and Qiao Yuemei had the opportunity to eat meals in both the commune canteen and the state-owned restaurant.

It was also because of this that, as she had good foresight and was willing to learn, she gradually became able to cook much better than other people in the village.

But even the food in big restaurants tastes a little worse than what Wanwan cooks.

Hearing her mother say this, Gu Wan took the opportunity to say, "It would be great if I could go to work in those places. Otherwise, it would be really wrong for me to need you to help me work in the fields."

The brothers were willing to help their sister with work, and after eating the delicious dishes she cooked, they were even more willing to sell their labor to help.

However, after hearing what Gu Wan said, eldest brother Gu Shan also thought it was a good idea.

Anyway, in his mind, his sister is a fairy-like figure, how could she be a country girl in the countryside?
It would be best if you could work in a canteen or a state-owned restaurant.

Even Qiao Yuemei thought so. She could even work as a temporary worker in the commune canteen.

It seems that my daughter’s cooking skills are better than hers. She can definitely become a chef.

Gu Wan used to study cooking simply because it was delicious, but later she felt that it was good to have a skill no matter where she was.

Especially in her era, college students were relatively less valuable, and everyone worked hard for three years in high school just to complete the most basic academic qualifications.

So later, in addition to studying, she also devoted a lot to her hobbies.

Anyway, she was very happy to eat delicious food, and she treated it as a break from studying. It took her a long time to practice and ask for advice from many sources before she developed her cooking skills that are praised by everyone today.

Food is the most important thing for people. No matter in which era, having good cooking skills is a very advantageous condition for oneself.

For example, her mother worked as a temporary worker in the commune canteen, and there were also state-owned restaurants and canteens in various factories in the county town that needed cooks.

Moreover, the chef in the canteen has a stable job in the government, which cannot be compared with that of an ordinary helper. It also requires certain real skills.

Gu Wan is still very confident in her cooking skills. She believes that she will definitely pass the test as long as she is given the opportunity to take the test.

The question is, where does this assessment opportunity come from?

There is one job for one person, and those iron rice bowls are basically already occupied and will not be easily moved.

Fortunately, Gu Wan is not in a hurry now. Gold will always shine. If a chef stops working for the time being, even if his family members take over, they cannot be the chef in the kitchen from the beginning.

When the Gu family heard Gu Wan say this, they all thought that she was clear-headed and did not think that being a cook in a restaurant was something inferior.
