Chapter 848 The smell of childhood
Before falling asleep, Jiang Mubai thought about the fact that she hadn't contacted Cheng Yunchuan today, but she was so sleepy that she didn't want to get up and call him. Besides, it was lunch time and Cheng Yunchuan might also be resting in the company. She was afraid of disturbing him so she decided to wait until Cheng Yunchuan got off work before calling him.
Jiang Mubai slept long enough in the afternoon. When she woke up, it was almost dark. She turned over and saw that the door of the small suite was open. She knew that Zhou Xiaoying and Xiangxiang were awake and not in the room, so she couldn't go over.
She got up, washed, and went downstairs to the living room, where Zhou Xiaoying was teasing Xiang Xiang in her arms.
Zhou Xiaoying noticed Jiang Mubai coming down from the stairs and started to show concern: "Why did you sleep so long today? Is there something wrong with your body?"
"No, maybe I didn't get enough sleep this morning, so I slept until now. I don't feel uncomfortable, don't worry, Aunt Zhou."
"That's good, but can you still sleep at night after sleeping for so long in the afternoon?"
"Of course not. I'll go to the gym upstairs to exercise after dinner. If I'm tired, I might want to sleep."
"Okay, as long as you can find a way."
Jiang Mubai hadn't woken up from her sleep yet. She came downstairs after sleeping for so long and was still a little dazed when she woke up.
Zhou Xiaoying also noticed Jiang Mubai's condition. She did not speak to him but let Jiang Mubai adjust slowly by himself.
When Jiang An came back from get off work, Jiang Mubai had already adjusted his state.
There was nothing to do in the company today, so Jiang An could go home on time and there was no dinner to attend. When Jiang An came back, dinner in the kitchen would be almost ready. Jiang An thought that he would be interrupted if he told Jiang Mubai about the matter later, so he decided to tell Jiang Mubai about the matter after dinner.
After Jiang An came back, he went straight back to his room to change clothes. When he came down, the housekeeper reminded him that dinner was ready in the kitchen. Jiang Mubai and Zhou Xiaoying went to the restaurant before him and sat waiting.
While the Jiang family was having dinner at the villa, Cheng Xiangdi was still busy in the kitchen at the Cheng family. Wu You planned not to go into the kitchen today and let Cheng Xiangdi prepare dinner for everyone, but Cheng Xiangdi did not estimate the time well, and when he started to prepare the ingredients, he found that it was too late.
"Uncle Cheng, how about I go in and help you? If you keep going this fast, Brother Chuan and Brother Qi may not be able to eat what you made when they come back."
"Okay, I did a poor job of preparing today. If I hadn't been struggling over what to do, it wouldn't have taken me so long."
"It's okay. I'm here to help you. Once you've decided what to cook, we can prepare the food and cook it quickly."
"Thanks to you, Wu You, otherwise when Yun Chuan comes back and finds that dinner is not ready, that brat will definitely laugh at me as his uncle again."
"No, Uncle Cheng, why would you think so? Although Brother Chuan often talks back at you, he still loves you very much. Seeing you work so hard to prepare dinner for him, Brother Chuan will definitely not laugh at you."
"Really? Why don't I believe it?"
"Are you sure? Why would I lie to you, Uncle Cheng? Don't worry."
"Well, in order to avoid this happening, we two should move faster, so that he won't have any chance to laugh at me."
Seeing that Cheng Xiangdi insisted that Cheng Yunchuan would laugh at him because of this matter, Wu You, as an outsider, couldn't interfere in the affairs between the uncle and nephew. "
With Wu You's help, Cheng Xiangdi successfully prepared dinner before Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi came back.
"Brother Chuan and Brother Qi will be at the villa soon. We can bring out the food and put it on the table now."
Although Manman did not go into the kitchen to help, she was helping Cheng Xiangdi to know the time when Cheng Yunchuan and the others would return.
"Well, luckily we are ready, otherwise it would be a bit rushed."
"Yeah, stop talking and serve the food first."
The three of them brought up the prepared dishes one after another. Although they didn't look as appetizing as Wu You's, Wu You had tasted Cheng Xiangdi's food and thought his cooking skills were indeed pretty good.
The reason why she tasted the food was because she was worried that what Cheng Xiangdi cooked would be inedible. Five people at home couldn't go without dinner, right? She tasted the food just to make herself have an idea. If the food really tasted bad, she could help make something edible to fill everyone's stomach. Fortunately, Cheng Xiangdi's cooking skills were really good, and the five dishes and one soup were also very rich.
In particular, the spicy and sour shredded potatoes that Cheng Yunchuan often ate when he was a child smelled particularly appetizing. After they served all the dishes, Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi just happened to enter the villa.
"You guys came back just in time. I just prepared all the dishes. You two should come up and change your clothes and wash your hands. We'll be ready to eat. We can't eat this food cold or it will affect the taste."
"Okay, I'm starving anyway, I'll go upstairs and change quickly and then come down."
When Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi came downstairs, Cheng Xiangdi served them each a bowl of pork rib soup: "These pork ribs have been stewed for quite a long time and are very soft. You should try some too."
After taking a bite, Shen Siqi found that it tasted really good, so he immediately praised it: "It tastes really good, and these ribs are very standard. I like the ribs with only one bone in the middle the most."
"I like to eat this, too, so I went to the supermarket and bought this."
"No wonder, I thought that this is how ribs are served at home. It turns out that you, a great chef, also like to eat them. I am so lucky."
"I'm not the chef today. You two should try Uncle Cheng's dishes. He has been worried for a long time about what to cook for you in the evening. And he made all of this by himself. I was just preparing the dishes on the side and didn't participate."
"It's not easy for Uncle Cheng to cook so many dishes by himself. Didn't Yunchuan often eat the spicy and sour potato shreds made by Uncle Cheng when he was a child? I'm so curious about the taste and now I finally have the chance to try it. Yunchuan, you should try it too and see if it tastes like the same as when you were a child."
Shen Siqi finished eating first so he commented first: "The shredded potatoes taste good and delicious, but I haven't eaten Uncle Cheng's cooking. This is the first time I'm not sure how it tastes compared to the previous ones. Then I won't comment. Yunchuan, you tell me what you think, since you've tasted it too."
After seeing Cheng Yunchuan finish eating, Cheng Xiangdi suddenly felt nervous. He had seen all kinds of storms but at this moment he really felt a little nervous.
"The taste is still the same as when I was a child. The uncle's cooking skills are so good."
After hearing what Cheng Yunchuan said, Cheng Xiangdi felt like he had come back to life. "Don't we just need to add the seasoning to make this spicy and sour potato shreds? It's not a difficult thing for me. If you like it, just eat more."
