The cold air in Liaocheng did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of outsiders.
Early the next morning, Gu Yun, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw a familiar figure downstairs in the hotel.
The dressed-up Hua Shiyuan was smiling, as if she was not affected by the incident of meeting Wen Jue at all.
"Do you miss me?"
"Imagine, it's not just me, my mother talks about you every day at home."
Gu Yun is also an old actor.
After Hua Shiyuan called to report, facing the possibility of two girlfriends crashing in the same hotel, his panic only lasted a few seconds.
Does being emotionally unstable help?
Is there any point in being flustered and confused?
Absolutely not.
Solving problems is the standard answer for this version of getting along with women.
So whether it's cheating, doing something wrong that your girlfriend can't forgive, or making her angry, it doesn't matter what's right or wrong.
When any situation arises, men must maintain emotional stability and find ways to solve the immediate problem first and then the long-term problem.
Give up your illusions and prepare to fight.
For Gu Yun now, the worst outcome is that Wen Jue and Hua Shiyuan really meet in the hotel. So what?
In the past few days, Wen Jue was not only coaxed to be happy by him, but he also took her to attend a rare class reunion once a year as his official girlfriend.
Not to mention Hua Shiyuan. Anyone with good eyesight across the country would have noticed the short-haired girl holding an arm next to Gu Yun at Shen Qingcheng's concert.
Everyone is at a high emotional level, and it seems that there is no need to break up at the moment.
The most important thing is that Hua Shiyuan and Wen Jue know very well that no matter what they do, they are still guests in Liaocheng.
Visiting Gu Yun's family quietly is the most important thing of this trip.
"Really! I also brought some of Star City's special peppers to my aunt. The last time we had dinner together, she also said she likes spicy food~"
Hua Shiyuan jumped up and down on the new snow, her eyebrows turned into crescent moons, and she looked very happy.
"Uh...right, right."
As a son, Gu Yun could only fulfill her mother's boast.
We are all from the north, how can we find players who can eat spicy food so well?
Mom, can you control the peppers in Star City?
...
Sure enough, after some pleasantries, Hua Shiyuan naturally put on another apron and entered the kitchen with Huo Yan.
Of course, this is not like many families, where they ask others to work in disguise and disrespect the future daughter-in-law who comes to the door.
the reason is simple.
Hua Shiyuan's craftsmanship is much better than Huo Yan, who has been cooking for decades.
Huo Yan was really convinced by Jiang Cheng and his party, not to mention other things, just cooking.
Although we didn’t eat together too many times, the simple meal of one vegetable and one rice easily won over the future mother-in-law’s heart.
"Yuanyuan, auntie learned a few Hunan dishes after she came back. Do you think this is right?"
The relationship between Huo Yan and Hua Shiyuan is completely different from that of the other two daughters-in-law.
Compared with Zhong Leyi and Wen Ju, who have never touched the spring water, Hua Shiyuan and Huo Yan, who are full of housework skills, have endless topics to talk about.
In addition, the senior sister was several years older than Gu Yun, and her gestures often revealed a gentle and virtuous demeanor, which made Huo Yan couldn't help but like her even more.
The elite is too far away, and the neighbors are too close.
Who doesn't like such a daughter-in-law?
She is good-looking and down-to-earth, cooks delicious food, has a gentle personality, and can take care of her son comfortably.
Female juniors want to hold gold bricks!
Although Gu Yun no longer has to think about BRIC...
Looking at the back of Hua Shiyuan walking around in her kitchen, Huo Yan's movements became slower and slower, and then she simply listened to Hua Shiyuan's instructions and started to fight.
"Auntie, the core of Hunan cuisine is spicy and fresh. This is the essence of every dish. You just made it too weak."
Hua Shiyuan turned up the heat and turned to Huo Yan with a smile.
"It turns out that I'm used to cooking northern food, so I'm still too conservative when it comes to using fire."
Huo Yan nodded and looked back at Gu Yun, who was playing with his mobile phone in the living room. The expression on his face was full of happiness.
"Fragrance is more important than spiciness. Whether it is grilled, roasted, simmered, fried, boiled, steamed, stewed, braised, or sauced, the aroma of the ingredients will be forced out. For example, when stir-fried pork in Hunan cuisine is not thickened, the outside of the meat is cooked over high heat.
Stir-fry the meat to bring out the aroma and make the meat charred on the outside and tender on the inside.”
Under the high temperature, a few beads of sweat appeared on the girl's fair forehead. She stretched out her hand to wipe it casually and continued to explain patiently.
She is especially good at stir-frying. Stir-frying over high heat brings out the aroma of various side dishes, blending various aromas and flavors together.
"Then when do you put the chili pepper in?"
Huo Yan has been stubborn about cooking all her life, but now she was like a curious primary school student and asked again.
"Auntie, not all dishes in Hunan cuisine use chili peppers. Chili peppers are often used to flavor and remove the fishy smell."
Hua Shiyuan took out a beautifully packaged small box from her suitcase, opened it and saw that inside was the all-too-familiar chili pepper.
"For example, the two kinds of chili peppers I brought are very particular about how to match them. The combinations of different ingredients are mostly fixed."
The girl pointed at a small pile of bright red.
“Most meats are put with chili peppers. It’s very particular about what kind of meats and what chili peppers are put in. For example, dried chili peppers have a soft aroma and spiciness, which will not overwhelm the main ingredients. They are more suitable for meats with a soft taste, while fresh chili peppers are more suitable for fresh meats.
wait."
"Most of the vegetables are sauteed with garlic until fragrant, and chili is basically not added to the soup."
Huo Yan looked at Hua Shiyuan's skillful movements and looked like she was suddenly enlightened.
"That's it... no wonder I couldn't get the flavor out of it when I followed the recipe, which made your Uncle Gu complain about me every day."
No matter how many factions Hunan cuisine is divided into, Hunan cuisine has an obvious commonality when it is exported to the outside world: the emphasis is on taste and the taste. This rich taste that is not forgotten in the mouth is the essence of Hunan cuisine.
Many people learn Shonan cuisine, but they always feel that they can’t learn it.
That’s because the ingredients of Shonan cuisine look simple, but the process of savoring them is not simple.
A layman doesn't understand this. If he just follows the recipe and stir-fries it, he will never be able to get the rich and rich taste that the Hunan cuisine chef has.
"It's almost done, aunt. Next time you do this, I'm sure uncle will like it."
After the last process was completed, Hua Shiyuan poured the Hunan-style stir-fried pork into the plate, took off her apron, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"The premise is that uncle can also accept this level of spiciness."
After saying that, the girl blinked at her future mother-in-law with a sweet smile on her lips.
"Hey, Yuanyuan, I don't even know what good things our Gu Yun did in his previous life. How could he find a girlfriend like you..."
Hua Shiyuan and Huo Yan looked like a real mother and daughter, each carrying a steaming dish and walking out of the kitchen side by side.
"Mom, you are so happy, what were you talking about just now?"
