Diary of the life of a working wizard

Seeing Xia Yunjie interrupt, the whole family turned their attention to him.

"Are you okay?" Qin Lan has not lived with Xia Yunjie so far, so she didn't know that he could cook. She looked at him with some doubts and asked. And Qin Yiyuan, who had previously been looked down upon by his "prospective son-in-law", helped him out, and his senses about him improved slightly, and he became more pleasing to the eye.

"Yes, Yunjie, there are a lot of people today. If you can't help it, go buy some cooked food to make up for it, and don't get involved." Qin Yiyuan thought Xia Yunjie said this just to help him out, but he didn't think he could prepare to go out. One table can serve a feast for more than ten people.

"Haha, no problem. You don't pay much attention to the hygiene of cooked food outside, so it's better to cook it yourself." Xia Yunjie said with a smile.

Seeing Xia Yunjie say this, everyone didn't know what to say, but they still looked at him with a bit of disbelief.

Also, could he, a grown man, be able to handle what the three women couldn't handle?

"Auntie, what's next?" Xia Yunjie put on an apron and entered the kitchen. He saw Sun Yaxiu slowly and carefully cutting potato slices, while Ren Xiaoyuan was washing onions by the sink.

"Hot and sour potato shreds." Sun Yaxiu replied, then hesitated for a moment, and said in a gentle tone: "Actually, Yunjie, auntie can still make it out if she takes her time. At worst, it's better to make do with it. How about you still do it?" Let’s go back and chat with grandpa.”

In any case, Xia Yunjie was a grown man, and it was his first time to be a guest at home, so he was willing to put aside his arrogance and help in the kitchen. Sun Yaxiu still had some changes in his opinion. If it weren't for his identity and age, she would still be very satisfied with it.

"It's okay, it's okay. This kind of thing should be done by us juniors." Xia Yunjie said with a smile, then stepped forward and said: "Auntie, let me shred the potatoes."

"Hot and sour potato shreds. How well you cut the potato shreds is very important. You men are not as good with your hands as women, so you should help my aunt to scrape off the scales of fish and other things." Sun Yaxiu said with a smile, and then continued to lower her head carefully. Cut the potato slices on the ground, trying to make the potato slices as consistent in thickness as possible. This is the key to cutting evenly shredded potatoes.

"Haha, Auntie, you've been busy for a long time. It's better to take a break and let me do it. Anyway, after cutting the potatoes into shreds, you still need to soak them in water. It won't be too late to do other things by then." Xia Yunjie insisted. He reached out to take the kitchen knife in Sun Yaxiu's hand.

When Sun Yaxiu saw Xia Yunjie persisting and showing concern and consideration, she felt a little warm in her heart and handed him the knife. When handing him the knife, he didn't forget to tell him: "Try to cut it into the same thickness, so that it will be even when the time comes..."

But before Sun Yaxiu finished her words of advice, her mouth was open and she couldn't close it, and her eyes were straight.

Xia Yunjie took the kitchen knife, raised it and lowered it, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" A shadow of the knife appeared in the air, and before Sun Yaxiu could react, a potato had been cut. This is nothing. At a glance, there is no difference in the thickness of the potato slices. At least, the thickness difference cannot be measured with the eyes.

However, Xia Yunjie didn't seem to notice Sun Yaxiu's surprised expression at all. He continued to take the potato and said "Dang! Dang! Dang!" again. A shadow of a knife appeared in the air. In less than a second, another potato was cut into pieces. Potato slices of consistent thickness.

"Oh my God! So fast! Are you the God of Cooking?" The kitchen is so big, so Ren Xiaoyuan naturally saw Xia Yunjie's actions, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and scream.

But Xia Yunjie smiled and continued to cut the potatoes into slices with three strokes of the knife, and then cut them into even shredded potatoes at lightning speed. When he put the shredded potatoes into a basin filled with water, Sun Yaxiu and Only then did Ren Xiaoyuan come to her senses. By the time they came to their senses, Xia Yunjie had already picked up the fish and scraped off the scales that the fish seller had not scraped off. He also quickly made a few cuts on the back of the crucian carp so that the fish could be flavored later when it was cooked. Then, without waiting for Sun Yaxiu's next instruction was that Xia Yunjie had already placed two pots on the two stoves at the same time. Put oil and pepper in one pot, and put oil and shredded ginger in the other pot. Apparently, he was preparing to cook spicy and sour potato shreds and braised crucian carp at the same time. .

"Auntie, Xiaoyuan, Qin Lan, you all should go out and have a rest. I can come here." Xia Yunjie was heating the oil pan, cutting green onions and shredded chili peppers deftly, and said to Sun Yaxiu and the other three.

Seeing Xia Yunjie's swift and skillful movements, Sun Yaxiu and others didn't know that staying here would be in the way, so they couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said: "If I had known that there was a master like you here, we wouldn't be able to show off, Qin Lan, you stay here to Yunjie, please help me."

It is not difficult to tell from Sun Yaxiu's words that her feelings towards Xia Yunjie are gradually changing.

"No need, Qin Lan is usually busy with work and rarely comes back, so just go and spend more time with grandpa and aunts and uncles. I can be alone here." Xia Yunjie said with a smile.

When Qin Lan saw that Xia Yunjie was slowly changing her parents' perception of him without relying on his other identity, and that he came to her house as a guest and cooked the food himself as a living god, she naturally felt proud and as sweet as eating honey. , after Sun Yaxiu and Ren Xiaoyuan left the kitchen, they walked up and hugged Xia Yunjie's waist from behind, then kissed him on the cheek and said, "You performed well, I'll reward you!"

"Since you performed well, I wonder if there will be a bigger reward tonight?" Xia Yunjie asked with a smile.

"You big pervert, you have been thinking about those things all day long." Qin Lan heard this and nodded his head with her finger, but then she still blushed slightly and said: "But the taste of the food is also good. If it satisfies everyone, I will consider it.”

"Don't worry, Director, I will try my best." Xia Yunjie immediately stood at attention after hearing this.

Seeing Xia Yunjie's serious look, Qin Lan couldn't help but burst into laughter, rolled her eyes at him, and then left the kitchen.

"Why are you three all out? Can Yun Jie be busy alone?" In the living room, Qin Pinzheng and Qin Yiyuan asked Qin Lan and the other three in surprise as they all evacuated from the kitchen.

"Dad, don't worry, Yunjie alone is definitely worth the three of us." Sun Yaxiu said.

"Yes, Grandpa, I really doubt that Yun Jie is not a Chinese medicine doctor but a chef." Ren Xiaoyuan said. Although Xia Yunjie was Qin Lan's boyfriend, he was not married after all, and he was younger than her. Ren Xiaoyuan did not call him brother-in-law, but called him by his first name. Of course, the most important thing is that Ren Xiaoyuan is not optimistic about the relationship between Xia Yunjie and Qin Lan, so the brother-in-law cannot be called out no matter what.

"Really?" Qin Pinzheng and Qin Yiyuan were both surprised and disbelieving when they heard this, and then they both got up and walked to the kitchen.

As soon as they entered the kitchen door, Mr. Qin and Qin Yiyuan immediately stared straight into their eyes. They saw two nests burning at the same time on the stove, while Xia Yunjie was picking up shrimp threads with a toothpick.

The toothpick was gently inserted into the back of the shrimp, and a complete black shrimp line was picked out. The movement was very fast and agile. Not only that, he also took care of the two woks when picking shrimp threads. Stir-fry from time to time, especially when stir-frying the hot and sour potato shreds, the action of tossing and turning the pot is so smooth that it is even better than the God of Cooking.

In this way, he could do all the cleaning and cooking by himself, and he was indeed much more efficient than the three of them combined.

"It's incredible, it's incredible. This kid Yunjie is really a loss to the chef world if he doesn't become a chef." After leaving the kitchen and returning to the living room, Qin Pinzheng exclaimed repeatedly.

"Dad, who doesn't become a chef is a loss to the chef world? Could it be that our Qin family has a cooking master?" When Qin Pinzheng was amazed, a middle-aged man's laughter came from the door.

It is Qin Pinzheng's third son Qin Yiqian. Like his second brother Qin Yizhen, he is also engaged in politics. He is currently serving as the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Yunling Province. His rank is equivalent to Qin Lan, but because he is not a member of the Municipal Standing Committee, In terms of actual power, it is slightly inferior. However, Qin Yiqian is currently fighting for the position of executive deputy mayor. If he wins, his real power will be comparable to Qin Lan. Of course, Qin Yiqian is almost fifty years old this year. Even if he wins the position of executive deputy mayor, his career prospects are far inferior to Qin Lan, who sat on the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee at the age of thirty-one.

Qin Yiqian has no sons, only one daughter, Qin Xue, who just graduated from college this year. This time she came with her father to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, and also brought her boyfriend.

"Grandpa!" As soon as Qin Xue entered the door, she pounced on Qin Pinzheng and called her grandpa affectionately. Her boyfriend also came up, bowed and called him grandpa, and wished him good luck and longevity.

"Okay, you must be Qin Xue's boyfriend Cheng Hao. I heard that your father is the deputy governor of Yunling Province, Cheng Yongxiang." Qin Pinzheng smiled and nodded at Qin Xue's boyfriend Cheng Hao.

Seeing Qin Pinzheng mentioning Cheng Haoqiu's father, Qin Yiqian's family showed a hint of pride on their faces, and Cheng Hao straightened his waist slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes, but then he bowed slightly and replied: "Yes. Grandpa."

"By the way, brother and sister-in-law, I heard from Jianhong that Qin Lan's boyfriend is also here today? Where is he?" Qin Yiqian's family greeted Qin Pinzheng and scanned the living room without seeing any unfamiliar faces. , couldn't help but curiously asked Qin Yiyuan and his wife.

"Yes, sister, where is your boyfriend? I heard from my second brother that your boyfriend is a teacher of traditional Chinese medicine. Cheng Hao's grandfather is the leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine in our Yunling Province. Cheng Hao has also studied some, so I can learn from him then. Let’s discuss.” Qin Xue also pulled Qin Lan and asked with a curious look on her face.

Seeing Qin Yiqian and Qin Xue asking about Xia Yunjie, Qin Yiyuan and his wife looked slightly embarrassed. Their daughter was so excellent but they only found a small Chinese medicine doctor, while the third daughter, who had just graduated from college, found a son of the deputy governor. I don’t feel it even if I don’t compare it. This comparison is really like heaven and earth. A look of disdain flashed across Cheng Hao's young face.

Although because of his grandfather, Cheng Hao will not look down on Chinese medicine. But he is also a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Naturally, a young traditional Chinese medicine doctor cannot compare with a master of traditional Chinese medicine like his grandfather, nor can he compare with the son of a deputy governor like him.
