Chapter 826: Even Have This Skill

Shi Yuke listened and obeyed, not daring to boast or bring it up.

But she still liked Moli very much; she just liked him, and couldn't say why.

With her father away, she took the opportunity to pull Moli into the room, took out a lot of delicious snacks, and shoved them all to him at once: "Here, they're all for you. Hide them and eat them yourself, don't tell anyone else."

Shi Yuke was very proud, thinking this was a sign of her getting along well with him.

Moli held these snacks but shook his head: "Mom said that good things should be shared with others."

No sooner had he finished speaking than it became lively outside; Shi Youxuan and her husband had arrived with the two children. Hearing Sheng Zichen's loud voice, Moli immediately ran out.

"Brother, sister, Auntie prepared a lot of snacks for us, let's eat together!"

Shi Yuke was slightly stunned, but she was instantly happy too.

Eating together was right; food tastes better when there are more people!

Gu Zhihao was helping in the kitchen. The living room outside was very lively, but he couldn't quite fit in, so he felt more at ease in the kitchen.

The living room.

Jian Yixin pulled Shi Yuke aside and asked quietly: "Is your husband good to you?"

Shi Yuke blushed, only lowering her head to smile without speaking.

It must be very good; one could tell just by looking at her complexion.

Shi Yuke's face was like a peach blossom, overflowing with happiness!

"Is he good or not? Say something, won't you?"

"Good."

"In what way is he good?"

"My husband knows I'm afraid of the cold, so he holds me while we sleep, it's just, it's just..."

"Hahahaha..." Jian Yixin laughed very happily, and at the same time, she felt relieved.

Whether a man truly likes a woman is actually judged by a very primitive standard.

The primitive is the most respectful expression of the heart; goodness on the surface is not true goodness.

If a man treats his woman with formal, distant respect and shows concern in front of outsiders, but refuses to even touch her when they are alone, it is one hundred percent for show.

If he acts well in front of others and even better when they are alone, that is true love.

"Wash your hands, time to eat." Gu Zhihao came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, his hands nervously twisted together.

In front of these two sisters-in-law, he was still a bit reserved, even less at ease than he was in front of the neighbor lady.

"Time to eat, I'm almost starving to death." Sheng Zichen was the first to rush toward the dining room.

Sheng Hanyu and his wife exchanged a look, and what the couple saw in each other's eyes was helplessness.

They couldn't control him, really couldn't control him.

It was useless to say it a hundred times.

The passion Sheng Zichen showed for food exceeded everything!

The dining room.

Everyone took their seats as hosts and guests.

Gu Zhihao was forcibly pressed into his seat by his father-in-law, still feeling very reserved.

He wanted to sit at the end of the table to make it easier to go to the kitchen to serve dishes and get soup.

But his father-in-law said: "You are the master of this house, is it appropriate to sit at the end? Let the servants handle serving the dishes; you keep your brother-in-law company and have a drink."

He had a high tolerance for alcohol and could drink, but he didn't dare.

In Gu Zhihao's eyes, both men were big shots, high and mighty existences that could only be viewed from afar, not approached.

Even being close caused him pressure, let alone being made to sit at the head of the table while the two brothers-in-law sat below him.

He couldn't take it; the pressure was too great.

It was as if there were nails on the seat; he kept twisting and turning, unable to sit still at all.

"Brother-in-law, I toast you."

Sheng Hanyu picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

"Ah? You, you, you finished it?" Gu Zhihao hurriedly raised his glass and downed it too.

"Cough, cough—"

He drank too fiercely and choked.

It was mainly because he was too excited.

He hadn't expected Sheng Hanyu to take the initiative to toast him.

For many years, because of his low status and low-level profession, the treatment Gu Zhihao received most often was "contempt" and "being looked down upon."

Suddenly receiving this high-standard treatment, he was very unaccustomed to it.

"Uncle, take it slow, Zichen will help you smooth it out."

Sheng Zichen was very observant; seeing this, he immediately slid off his chair and ran behind Gu Zhihao to pat his back.

Moli did whatever Zichen did.

The two children weren't tall enough, so their little hands barely managed to pat above their uncle's waist.

"Wuu wuu..."

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

The grown man suddenly cried, and he cried very loudly, unable to control himself at all.

The two children were dumbfounded.

Sheng Zichen spread his hands and explained to everyone: "I didn't use any force, I didn't hit him until he cried."

Moli said timidly, "If I said I didn't use any strength either, would everyone believe me?"

They would believe it.

The adults could all see that Gu Zhihao had suddenly burst into loud sobs because he was moved by the two children.

Shi Yucheng smiled and beckoned to his two grandsons, "Come here, my darlings. Your Xi Fu was moved by you, he wasn't hurt."

Gu Zhihao stopped crying.

He felt a little embarrassed.

To ease his awkwardness, Shi Youxuan was the first to reach out with her chopsticks: "I'll eat first, it smells so good."

The homecoming banquet today was prepared very lavishly.

The Shi Family all liked to eat seafood, which was essential: spicy crab, salt-water mantis shrimp, braised hairtail, and scallops with minced garlic.

Steamed Lion's Head, taro ribs, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, curry shrimp, shredded pork with endive, spicy crunchy pig ears, colorful mung bean noodles, vegetable hearts with vermicelli, seared tofu, sweet and sour fish, pumpkin with egg yolk, Pulled Silk sweet potato, braised pork with eggs, plus a bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls.

The variety was rich, and the taste was also very good.

Most of the dishes here were made by Gu Zhihao, and everyone was surprised to find that they had actually helped Yuke find a Treasure of a man to be her husband.

The dishes were perfect in color, aroma, and taste, even better than those made in high-end restaurants.

Especially that dish of Steamed Lion's Head, which belongs to Huaiyang cuisine.

Looking at a huge Lion Head stewing in the soup, with emerald green scallions and bright red wolfberries floating inside, it looked simple, but it actually tested a chef's skills greatly.

First, you must peel and dice the water chestnuts, put the diced pork belly into a basin, and add salt, cooking wine, pepper powder, MSG, scallion and ginger water, egg liquid, and starch, then stir until it becomes firm; this process is the most complicated, as it will fall apart if not beaten until firm.

But if it is too firm, it will lose its melt-in-the-mouth texture.

There was no detailed tutorial for the process; it relied entirely on experience.

After the filling was beaten until firm, it was shaped into a ball by hand, thus forming the Lion Head.

Sprinkle a little chopped scallion and wolfberries on the prepared Lion Head, put it in a steamer for 60 minutes, and it is ready to be taken out.

"Xi Fu, can you teach me how to cook?" Compared to everyone else praising how good the food was, Zichen was more interested in how this dish was made.

Gu Zhihao scratched his head in embarrassment: "You are still a child, learning this is useless, just focus on your studies."

Zichen became anxious.

You're not going to teach me, right?

No way.

For the time that followed, it was all Zichen pestering him; he had never experienced this before, so he agreed.

After agreeing, Zichen was still afraid that Xi Fu would go back on his word, so he demanded to go to the kitchen to demonstrate it again immediately.

His parents hadn't said a word, but he wouldn't stop, becoming increasingly excessive.

Sheng Hanyu sank his face: "Zichen, has your manners been eaten by a dog? This is at the dinner table, is it appropriate for you to go on and on like this?"

The little guy wouldn't give up and looked at his mother with pleading eyes for help, but his mother stood firmly on his father's side: "No, Dad is right. Apologize to Xi Fu, and when we get home, you will be forbidden from entering the kitchen for half a month."

Recently, they had been too lenient with the child, leading the little guy to push his luck; it was indeed excessive.

Gu Zhihao felt very embarrassed and pleaded for Zichen: "You, you shouldn't treat the child like this, he is still young."

As he spoke, he stood up, preparing to go to the kitchen.

On the matter of educating the child, the couple would not budge an inch.

Sheng Hanyu was cold as frost and scolded: "Sit down, you are not allowed to go."
