Manor Romance

Chapter 303 A Table of Good Food

"No matter what taste you taste, you are not allowed to spit it out, and you have to say goodbye to your conscience, understand?" After Gu Yixin left, Gu Ling whispered to the two of them in an orderly tone.

"The reason, Sister Gu Ling, since when did you become so considerate? Didn't you have a fever?" Lu Ci couldn't help but asked. Given her personality, she probably wouldn't say such things. In the past, whenever Gu Yixin did something wrong, she They were all mercilessly cynical and sarcastic, but for some reason they changed their temper this time, and even Yunli became curious.

"The less self-aware he is, the more clearly others will see and suffer from it. You should understand after this point, and behave well later." Gu Linglue explained that Yunli and Lu Ci were not stupid, They understood her intentions at once, and they all nodded to express their understanding.

Soon, Gu Yixin and Chen Yiru came up with trays of various dishes, including fish, shrimp, and meat, which were very rich, and smelled good, but the appearance was not very good, and the appetite was reduced a lot just by looking at it .

"Pick up your chopsticks. Don't be too fond of admiring them. Gu Ling has been eating for several days. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. After you taste it, tell me how different it is from the ones in the manor." After all the dishes were served, Gu Yixin He couldn't wait to persuade everyone to pick up their chopsticks, especially Yunli and Lu Ci who came from afar. It seems that his self-confidence is quite good.

"Why did you suddenly like cooking? When I lived in the manor, I never saw you show your skills in the kitchen." Lu Ci felt a little hungry, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised eggplant into the bowl, and said to Gu Yixin asked.

Gu Yi tried his best to persuade people to move their chopsticks, but he sat there laughing and watching everyone taste his masterpiece. When Lu Ci asked this question, he immediately replied: "My previous culinary talent has really been buried. After I went to live in the north, I couldn’t get used to the steamed buns and sauerkraut in their dining hall, so I had to rely on myself and try to cook by myself with the materials you sent me. I didn’t expect to learn from myself. Now I can make a table of such dishes and make some It doesn't take much effort, I will go back to the manor when I have a chance, and I will show it to everyone."

"In the future? Aren't you on winter vacation? You can come whenever you are free. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are still waiting for you to go and pay their respects to them." Yun Li asked puzzled.

"Hey, I don't want to. There is something wrong with our project. I booked a plane ticket the day after tomorrow to go back. I guess the Chinese New Year will also be over there. I have half a foot out of the campus. What's the matter? Winter vacation and summer vacation." Gu Yixin explained helplessly, he had only been back for a few days, and he had to go back and forth, and he didn't even have much time to spend with his family and girlfriend, so it was really not very comfortable.

Putting aside the unpleasant topic, he continued to persuade everyone to move their chopsticks. Lu Ci put the black and braised eggplant into his mouth. The first feeling was that it was salty. It was too salty. It felt like it was not eggplant but salted fish. It was too much, and it became paralyzed. The taste was very bad. She wanted to vomit it out, but Gu Ling stared at her at this moment. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow it without chewing. He showed a fake smile, but the chopsticks in his hand didn't want to "sweep mines" anymore.

"It has grown a lot, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Don't be complacent. He is best at braised fish in sauce. Yunli, come and try the difference between the fish he cooks and the fish in the manor." Gu Ling only picked the small side dishes to eat, and seeing that no one had touched the main dishes, he gave orders to Yunli.

Yunli just tasted a few bites of scrambled eggs with leeks, the taste is average, but it's not impossible to eat, it's just that there is less salt, and the leeks are fried directly in the wok without blanching beforehand, the heat must not be enough, and the taste is relatively green and astringent. As soon as Gu Ling opened his mouth, he had no choice but to obey, and he was not a picky eater, there was nothing to be picky about when the food was cooked.

This stewed fish in sauce is made of tilapia. In addition to the necessary ginger, onion and garlic, Gu Yixin also added chili sauce, cumin powder and honey to taste. These tastes are very special, even though Yunli is not a big foodie, However, these flavors can be distinguished as soon as the fish is imported. It has mixed flavors, and there is an incalculable awkwardness, followed by the feeling of being unpalatable.

"Let me give some comments. I borrowed the inspiration from the barbecue, and used the corresponding seasonings to shock, so that the fish tasted more layered. In fact, when I made this dish at school, I would add some sour kimchi. , the taste will be stronger, but I didn't bring that kind of sour kimchi back, and there is no one selling it nearby, so I can only let you try the most authentic method next time." Gu Yixin added.

It's okay if he doesn't say anything, after hearing this, Yunli almost spit out the fish that was brewing in his mouth, even the stew in the north is not as messy as he is, he really regrets why he brought it to his door , I originally went to have a leisurely lunch with Lu Ci and enjoy the time together, but now it's too late to regret it.

What made him vomit blood even more was Gu Ling's next words: "Yunli seems to have said before that he likes to eat sauerkraut, so let him enjoy this fish for himself. Let him taste it and give you some advice for your reference. It's a rare opportunity."

Gu Ling was also out of helplessness. She knew that Yunli and Lu Ci were used to eating good food in the manor, so their appetites would definitely be worse than the average person's. It's not up to the standard, and I don't know where such strong self-confidence comes from. It's really difficult for the two of you, but for the happiness of her younger brother, she can only do it ruthlessly. Yunli likes to eat sauerkraut. , even if he has objections, he will settle down with just one look.

"Yiru, eat more too. Seeing how thin you are, eat more meat to grow, otherwise a gust of wind will blow you away." Gu Ling was not in a hurry to persuade Chen Yiru, and Gu Yixin was also very kind. , "considerately" picked up a lot of dishes for her.

"Uh, you all know that I'm learning from Mr. Xiao, and I'm gradually becoming a vegetarian. I'll just eat some vegetables, and I won't eat any meat." Chen Yiru said tactfully, but Gu Yixin put some in the bowl for her. , she couldn't refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and eat it.

Gu Yixin went to the north to work on projects and take courses at the same time. She had a full schedule, and her job in Nanyuan Group was not easy, especially when she joined Xiao Qiongxiao's management team. She will also consciously look for a job to strive for performance. Usually, the two of them don't spend much time in contact. She knows that Gu Yixin is learning to cook by herself, but she didn't expect this to be the case, and she can't speak out to beat him Confidence.

"You can't just eat vegetables and not meat, you just need to learn from Mr. Xiao, don't even learn her nagging habits, they are no longer ordinary people at this level, you can't copy everything " Gu Yixin persuaded, seeing that everyone was "happily" tasting and talking, he himself moved his chopsticks to eat with great relish.

Yunli and Lu Ci came here at the invitation of Gu Yixin. It happened that Yunli had something to do at the Southwest Museum, so they came here with Lu Ci. Of course, this visit was not just as simple as tasting his handicrafts. It was about the same time that Gu Yixin talked about the serious matter:

"It's like this. Miss Wang of the Nanyuan Group wants to transform their headquarters here and the top floor of the new business center not far from your manor into a plantation park. They asked Gu Ling to design the work. It’s done, and the equipment purchase has also been provided and installed by our Mingchuan Equipment Co., Ltd. As for the planting plan of the park, of course the Banlu Manor is in charge, but there must be a contact person in the middle to make things go smoothly. I think this This project has been taken over by our own family members, so what should Yi Rulai do as the contact person?"

"Okay, it's very suitable for Ms. Chen to be here, I have no objection." Yun Li readily agreed.

"Oh, don't just agree, you have to help fight for it. This job is very important, and it is also a project advocated by Miss Wang. She is the only heir of the Nanyuan Group. Those who are capable within them will even want to fight for their heads. Hold this job in your arms, you are so familiar with her, and you are also a classmate, so please help me."

"Brother Yunli just call me Yiru, you don't need to call Miss Chen so out of touch." Gu Yixin and Chen Yiru said to him one after the other.

In fact, before coming here, Gu Yixin had already called the two of them, and brought up the matter intentionally or unintentionally. Gu Ling stopped beating around the bush and explained his brother's thoughts in every detail, so Yunli raised it to them. This request was not unexpected, Gu Ling didn't give any advice, Yunli could do whatever he liked.

"Ahem, you are really heartless, how can you say that I have a good relationship with Wang Yuyao in front of Lu Ci, you are not intentionally causing trouble for me."

"That's right, how do you talk? Even if they have a good relationship in private and have some shady hookups, you can't say it outright. How embarrassing it is, but it's different when he recruits himself to explain it." Gu Ling fanned the flames from the side.

"Oh, you are a person who has been on a boat for a long time, and you still have the face to criticize me. Are you going to expose each other's faults now and see who has more gossip?" Gu Ling said, Yun Li Unable to sit still, he stood up and fought back.

"Who is so good at stepping on a few boats, gossip and gossip!" Gu Yixin couldn't help but wonder.

"Okay! If you don't have evidence, everyone, stop gossiping. Let's get back to business. Yixin, you don't have any sincerity in asking people to do things, and you don't give them vegetables and meat." Gu Ling didn't want to delve into this topic, Quickly ask Gu Yixin to bring food to Yunli.

Gu Yixin understood as soon as he heard it, and filled Yunli's bowl with what he thought was "delicious" dishes with a smile, and immediately blocked Yunli's mouth, Yunli secretly sighed that he was still too young He was too weak to quarrel with others, so he was immediately caught by Gu Ling, while Lu Ci watched their fight with a smile, and had no intention of participating.
