Chapter 572: The vegetarian dishes are just so-so, but the meat dishes are really delicious
Well, it was really a wise decision to follow along on this blind date.
Yu Haitang was munching on candy while looking at her sister's blind date, totally unaware that Yu Li was winking at her.
Because Yu Li also noticed the candy in the plate at this time!
She wants to eat too!
But her silly sister was only concerned with eating and didn't even learn from the matchmaker Aunt Wang and pinch a few candies from the plate.
There was no other way, Yu Li could only reluctantly look away and began to chat awkwardly with Yan Jiecheng in a random manner.
Nowadays, men and women who go on blind dates are very shy, and the topics they talk about are rather boring, so the conversation can easily get boring.
Fortunately, Yu Li was more experienced and she guided Yan Jiecheng to open up and start talking about interesting things that happened when he was in school and at work.
In just a few minutes, Yan Jiecheng confessed how many years he had studied and how much money he earned every month.
When Yu Li heard that Yan Jiecheng got into the steel rolling mill through the help of a relationship with someone in the academy, she immediately became a little uneasy.
Wow, there is actually an extraordinary person living in this courtyard!
Everyone knows how difficult it is to get a job in a factory nowadays. Some people have spent hundreds of dollars but still cannot get a job.
Doesn't this mean that if I get married to Yan Jiecheng, the Yan family can use their connections to get her into the factory as well?
Yu Li is a few years older than Yan Jiecheng, so she has considered more than Yan Jiecheng. Although it is the first time they meet, Yu Li has already started to plan her future plans.
For example, if the two of them got married, they would have to live separately from their families, otherwise the money Yan Jiecheng earned would have to be used to subsidize his younger siblings.
Thinking of this, Yu Li couldn't help but take a few glances at Yan's house. She found that the furniture in the house was ordinary and old, but the bicycle parked at the door and the toffee on the plate made Yu Li feel that Yan's house was not so ordinary.
If there are two people in a family working and earning money, they can't live in poverty, right?
Perhaps, it’s just that the family hasn’t had any new furniture because the children haven’t gotten married yet.
Yu Li thought this in her heart while trying to find out whether Yan Jiecheng had ever had a girlfriend before.
They chatted until after eleven o'clock. Yan Bugui felt that Yu Li was a good match for his son, so he immediately decided to invite the three of them to have lunch at his home.
"Jie Cheng, it's almost time for dinner. Go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes so that Aunt Wang and I can have lunch together."
These were all discussed yesterday. If Yan Jiecheng is satisfied with this blind date, he will go to the kitchen to show off his skills and make a good impression.
If you are not satisfied, just say that you have something else to do at the factory and you have to hurry back.
Yan Jiecheng understood what he meant immediately, and he stood up and nodded: "Okay, then I'll just cook two simple dishes."
"Yu Li, my cooking skills are just average, so don't laugh at me!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the kitchen.
Soon, the sound of clinking vegetables could be heard in the kitchen.
Yu Li finally found some time to move her stool next to Aunt Wang and started eating the candy on the plate.
Well, this milk candy is the most expensive one in the supply and marketing cooperative. It tastes really delicious. It is said that a few pieces of candy can make a cup of milk.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang asked Yu Li with a smile how she felt.
What else could Yu Li say in front of Yan Bugui's family? She could only lower her head in shame.
When Yan Bugui saw Yu Li's reaction, he felt that this matter could be accomplished and he felt even happier.
About ten minutes later, the aroma of cooking wafted out of the kitchen. The aroma smelled ordinary, just the smell of home-cooked cooking.
But after more than ten minutes, Aunt Wang and the Yu sisters became restless.
Aunt Wang looked towards the kitchen curiously, wondering what Yan Jiecheng was cooking in the kitchen and why it smelled so good.
Yu Li was even more shocked. She didn't expect that her blind date was also a great cook!
Nowadays, it’s a plus point for a man to be able to cook. Many men only go into the kitchen a few times a year, and it’s even better if he can cook delicious food.
Especially when the food here is even more delicious than that served in a restaurant, it’s hard to find even with a lantern.
Unless this person is a professional cook.
But it is obvious that Yan is not a cook, he is a serious worker in the steel mill.
"Sister, it smells so good, even better than the feast we had a while ago."
Yu Haitang suddenly said this out of the blue.
She is young and speaks without thinking, just saying whatever comes to her mind.
But this made Yu Li feel very embarrassed. If the occasion was not inappropriate, she would have wanted to pinch Yu Haitang quietly.
She really regretted bringing her sister to the blind date. How shameful!
If the Yan family heard what I just said, would it leave a bad impression on them?
"Haha, Xie Cheng usually likes to tinker with food. If you think it smells good, you can eat more later." As a teacher, Yan Bugui is quite good at speaking.
Upon hearing this, Yu Haitang nodded, indicating that she could eat two large steamed buns.
"Haitang, eat your melon seeds!"
Yu Li was worried that something would pop out of Yu Haitang's mouth again, so she quickly stuffed a handful of melon seeds into her mouth.
"I don't eat melon seeds!" Yu Haitang didn't know that her sister disliked her, so she stuffed the melon seeds into her pocket.
We're going to eat meat soon. Anyone who eats melon seeds now is stupid.
At about twelve o'clock, Yan Jiecheng called the three aunts to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
The moment the kitchen door opened, the aroma became even stronger, and Aunt Wang and the Yu sisters stared straight at the dishes on the plates.
The dishes were not only delicious but also generous in portion. Yan Jiecheng actually cooked six dishes by himself.
One serving of stir-fried shredded potatoes, one serving of stir-fried cabbage, one serving of fried tofu, one serving of braised pork, one serving of stewed spare ribs, and one serving of braised chicken nuggets.
Aunt Wang has been a matchmaker for so many years that she has been to many houses, but this is the first time she has encountered something so delicious. She was so greedy that she kept swallowing her saliva.
However, among these six dishes, the meat dishes were particularly well cooked, so good that there was nothing wrong with them, but the vegetarian dishes were just average, for example, the fried shredded potatoes were not cut neatly.
Perhaps, this young man Yan Jiecheng is not good at cooking vegetarian dishes!
Aunt Wang didn't think much about it, but said to Yan Bugui: "Oh, Teacher Yan, you are too polite. It's okay to just have a simple lunch. Why make it so sumptuous?"
Although she said this, Aunt Wang had already put the melon seeds and peanuts into her pocket, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start eating.
Yan Bugui glanced at Yu Li with a smile, and saw that she was also shocked by the lunch today. He felt very satisfied.
If nothing unexpected happens, the matter between his son and Yu Li is almost certain.
"It's just a simple meal. It's not that rich."
After saying that, Yan Bugui waved his hand towards Yan Jiecheng again and said, "Jiecheng, go get a bottle of Tongzhou Laojiao."
