Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 87

After the base was cooked, it was time to prepare the side dishes.

The Wen family’s beef was made like that by Gu Yin for two days, and the remaining ones were made into beef rolls, which were all used up.

She added the leftovers from the previous day, cabbage, mushrooms, etc., and the side dishes were all done.

Finally, for the sauce, Gu Yin mixed two kinds of sesame sauce and peanut butter- because there was no food processor at that time, thanks to Chef Mrs. Xu’s great strength, he brought his two little apprentices to help grind it.

Because that spicy pot tasted too great, it was not suitable for eating out, so they temporarily placed it on a Baxian table in the kitchen.

There were two small red clay stoves on the table, each with a flat-bottomed iron pot, one pot was a milky white bone soup, the other pot was a red and spicy butter soup base, and the table was a variety of sliced ​​meat and dishes.

It was novel just to look at.

Old Master Wen and Eldest Master Wen took their seats first, and the old man asked Gu Yin, who had been busy for half the morning, to also sit.

In front of the three of them was a pair of long chopsticks, and another pair of normal-sized chopsticks.

Old Master Wen looked at his eldest son and said with a smile, “When I was bored in the house, it was not easy for me to see you once. These two days, I see you around every day.”

Eldest Master Wen was also a little embarrassed. He claimed to not be a person with a heavy appetite, and usually liked to read, write, and draw in the house.

But after eating the spicy dishes made by Gu Yin, it seemed to have opened a new chapter in life. In the past two days, he had to add spicy food to his daily food, and that day, he was drawn out of the house by this incomparably spicy smell.

The bone broth was light and could best present the deliciousness of the food itself, and then dip it in the sesame sauce and peanut sauce, which made people unable to stop eating; the spicy soup was rich, whether it was sliced ​​meat, vegetables, or mushrooms, no dipping ingredients were needed, the spicy and delicious taste went straight to the head.

After eating the hot pot, all three of them turned red.

The old man was hesitating while holding the teacup—it was to say how Gu Yin did not meet his requirements. The little girl had been busy for two days inside and out, and the food she made was fresh and delicious, and it was too much to do it herself.

But if Gu Yin met the requirements, then he would have no reason to come to the kitchen and become a loner again, right?

Before waiting for the old man to speak, Gu Yin said thoughtfully, “There should also be copper stove mutton in the capital. So my hot pot can’t be considered original. It’s just that the taste is different and there are some other side dishes. I’ll think about something tomorrow..”

The old man laughed immediately, “Hey, good. It tasted good. I will go back and change my clothes to take a rest. There is still some in the pot. I will eat this bone soup hot pot at night, so you don’t have to work anymore. Go home, take a shower and come back tomorrow.”

As soon as Old Master Wen stood up, Eldest Master Wen, whose mouth was swollen, followed.

When the two masters left, Chef Xu brought his own bowl and the two little apprentices to the table.

Of course, the three of them weren’t as particular as Old Master Wen, and they didn’t use chopsticks. They picked the remaining untouched meat and vegetables on the plate, added them in the pot, and then put them into the sauce bowl in their hands. As soon as it was dipped in, it was delivered to the mouth while exhaling the heat, and it tasted more atmospheric.

“The little chef is too modest!” Chef Xu said, swallowing the dish, “Why is something so delicious not original? Ugh, it’s so spicy!”

Gu Yin said, “Then I’ll go back first, you guys eat slowly.”

Chef Xu put the bowl down and sent her out of the kitchen, then trotted back quickly—

“You b*stard, save some for Lao Tzu!”

(I, your father)

…………

In that state of working for a long time and taking a break for a long time, Gu Yin made a series of fresh things for the old man, such as home-style cola, teppanyaki, pizza, etc. The old man was happy every day, not only was his spirit good, the person got plump.

Until the twenty-fifth of the new year, the taste of the new year became stronger, and Chef Xu and his two young apprentices also began to be busy preparing the food for the guests.

That afternoon, Old Master Wen didn’t give Gu Yin a leave, and specially let her stay for a while.

Gu Yin followed the old man to the study room. On the way, she was still thinking that it should be New Year’s day soon. Chef Xu was so busy, the old man should also assign other tasks to her. For the monthly money, she only did half a day’s work every day, which was indeed a bit too easy.

Unexpectedly, in the study room, the old man did not take out any food recipe for her to prepare in advance.

Instead, he took out a few silver ingots in advance and put them on the table, “This is your salary this month, and the other five taels are the New Year’s money for you.”

Gu Yin: ??!

Was she dismissed?

It was a part-time job for Wu’an’s schooling at the beginning. When she started working, she thought that she would work for two months. Although she had enough money for his schooling, after one month, she would quit that kind of life. But it made her uncomfortable.

“I’ll think about other things tomorrow!” Gu Yin said seriously, “I will definitely meet your requirements.”

She admitted that she had thought that the old man just wanted to play with someone.
