80s: The Rough Villain's Beautiful Wife is Reborn

Chapter 32 The rumors are unbelievable

While eating breakfast in the morning, Shang Xiaojun rubbed his nose and sneezed, and the whole family knew that he had a cold.

Shang Rong glanced at her son with disdain while holding the bowl of rice.

Is this kid so weak?
On my wedding night, I was too tired to get out of bed and I also caught a cold.

Twenty-two years of eating were wasted.

Look at Xiaojuan, nothing happened and she can even get up and cook.

Alas, my son is like this, I don’t know if it will affect my grandchildren in the future…

Shang Rong became a little worried.

Although she despised her son for his lack of ambition, Shang Rong still went to the kitchen to make ginger soup after dinner.

Du Juan and Shang Xiaojun did not go out this morning. They were preparing to tidy up the yard, buy some red paper to paste some window decorations and so on, so that the house would look presentable for a dinner party in a few days.

Du Juan was responsible for removing the grass in the corners, while Shang Xiaojun was responsible for repairing the courtyard wall.

It was almost noon when Shang Xiaojun went out to buy groceries. Du Juan asked him to buy some pork head and offal, plus some side dishes. She planned to make some braised dishes and cold dishes to test her cooking skills.

Shang Xiaojun bought a bunch of things as she said, and brought Hu Dong with him when he came back.

Hu Dong dropped out of school two years ago and has been working as a temporary worker in the market area, moving things, transporting goods, and doing renovations. He just does whatever work is available.

However, he was young and had no skills. He worked so hard all day that he got tanned into charcoal. The money he earned was just enough for him and his grandfather to live on. It was not easy.

Hu Dong went out with Du Juan yesterday, and he became familiar with her. He called her sister-in-law with a smile as soon as he entered the door.

Du Juan also smiled and asked Hu Dong to eat here so that he could taste her cooking. She also told his grandfather to let him know and he would send the food over later.

Hu Dong's grandfather has problems with his legs and feet, so he usually doesn't go out.

Hu Dong smiled innocently, then agreed happily. When he heard that they were repairing the wall, he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

In the kitchen, Shang Rong was also looking forward to Du Juan's braised and cold dishes.

Du Juan asked questions while she was doing it, but did not interfere.

Every cook has his or her own set of recipes and methods. She was just curious. She heard from her son that Du Juan learned her skills when she was working as a helper in the village.

Shang Rong knew what the helpers at banquets in the village did. They usually just cut the vegetables, carried the bowls, and so on. They would never let outsiders help with cooking ingredients.

Even so, the daughter-in-law can still learn skills. How sharp her mind must be.

When her son got into trouble, Shang Rong also asked people about Du Juan's situation, and without exception, they all said that she was stupid.

But when I actually met him in person, I realized that he was not stupid at all. He was clearly a simple and kind-hearted person.

The rumors are indeed unbelievable.

Because time was tight, Du Juan asked Shang Xiaojun to buy some easy-to-clean snacks.

The meat dishes are pig ears, pig liver, chicken feet and a piece of pork belly.

The vegetarian dishes include vermicelli, black fungus, bean sprouts, etc.

With so many dishes, Du Juan didn’t cook anything else and steamed half a pot of rice.

If you want braised food and cold dishes to taste good, the sauce is very important.

Although Du Juan had seen the ingredients prepared by the kitchen aunt many times in her previous life, this was the first time she made it herself.

She was quite nervous, so she asked Shang Xiaojun to find a notebook and a pen and recorded the production process, time and materials in detail.

She knew that she was stupid and had an average memory. She didn't have any particularly good methods and could only make up for it by being serious.

At first, she prepared two dishes, mixed them with vermicelli and bean sprouts, and let Shang Rong taste them. Shang Rong thought they were good and as good as the ones they had made in their restaurant before.

Du Juan felt that it was okay, but she didn’t know how much it differed from what the aunt in the kitchen made.

Since I have never eaten it, I have no idea what it is like.

Du Juan called Shang Xiaojun in again and asked him to try.

In the previous life, when the kitchen aunt was interviewed, the cold dishes and braised dishes she made made this person nod his head repeatedly.

Du Juan felt that as long as Shang Xiaojun agreed, it should be enough.

Shang Xiaojun washed his hands, took the bowl and tasted a little of everything. "Not bad, delicious, I didn't expect you can really cook. It's OK, better than what they make in the restaurant."

Shang Xiaojun not only nodded, but also praised him enthusiastically.

His wife is so motivated to do business and make money, how can he say it’s not delicious?
Naturally it’s delicious.

Although it’s not amazing yet, it’s enough to do business.

Shang Xiaojun agreed, Du Juan became more confident, and asked Hu Dong to come and try.

Hu Dong was speechless after eating. It was so delicious. The red oil sauce was fragrant and spicy, it was absolutely delicious.

If this sauce is paired with braised meat, he is guaranteed to be able to finish three bowls of rice and have the energy to do anything.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Du Juan felt relieved.

After the braised meat is taken out of the pot and mixed with other seasonings, the deliciousness rises to a higher level, after all, it is meat.

After dinner, Du Juan wanted to take Shang Xiaojun out to check out the stalls.

Since everyone said it was good, she wanted to finish it and make money as soon as possible.

Shang Xiaojun: "Why are you so impatient? I've already asked someone to do it. Just wait at home obediently."

Fine.

Since he was worried, Du Juan was no longer in a hurry.

In his previous life, this guy was able to become a big villain, so his ability to get things done is naturally beyond doubt.

In the afternoon, Shang Xiaojun said he had something to do and went out.

Du Juan didn't go anywhere because she didn't have many friends. She has always been a homebody and would hardly go out unless there was something important. She also didn't like visiting her neighbors.

After taking a nap at noon, Du Juan began to clean up the room and prepare to put something in the middle of the bed.

It is indeed not appropriate to let Shang Xiaojun lie on the floor. He still has to sleep on the bed.

Du Juan was busy in the room when she heard someone knocking on the gate.

Shang Rong was in the yard and asked, "Who is it?"

When her son is not around, Shang Rong usually asks who the visitor is before opening the door.

But today no one answered her, and there was dead silence outside the yard.

Shang Rong didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a prank by some kid, but she didn't expect that not long after, the gate was knocked again.

Du Juan came out of the room and said, "Mom, I'll go check it out."

Du Juan was a little surprised to see someone knocking on the door without saying anything in broad daylight, and wanted to see who was outside.

She took a shovel in her hand, came to the gate of the yard and asked first. Seeing that no one responded, she removed the bolt and pulled the door open.

Du Juan was also afraid that the man outside had run away, so she wanted to catch him by surprise. However, she found the alley empty, without even a ghost.

This?
Could it be that it was someone's naughty kid who was causing trouble?

Du Juan stretched her neck and looked around the alley.

The alley is not straight, it has turns and curves. If someone really wants to play a prank, there are many places to hide.

Shang Xiaojun was not there, and Du Juan had no intention of going out to check, so she quickly bolted the door.

Shang Rong asked: "No one."

"Nope."

"Don't worry about it for now. Let's talk to Xiaojun when he comes back."

"Ah."

In the yard, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about this matter.

In the alley outside the yard, next to a ruined wall at the corner, a young girl with a ponytail stuck her head out, glanced towards the yard where the merchant was, and then stomped her feet in anger and sadness.

“It turns out it’s true, he’s really married!
Wuwuwu..."
