Zuo Jingyan put on her apron and said to her mother and elder brother with a smile:

"Mom, brother, you guys rest for a while and I'll cook for you."

Ma Yulan and Zuo Xiangdong were shocked again. They suspected that they were hallucinating. What did Jingyan say? Is she going to cook?

"Mom, brother, drink some water."

Lu Haoting made tea and served the guests warmly, very much like an uncle.

"Jingyan, sister-in-law, help you."

Li Ling followed Zuo Jingyan to the kitchen. Zuo Jingyan planned to kill the duck her mother brought to make a duck soup, which would be both delicious and relieving. However, she did not dare to do anything and looked at Li Ling for help.

"Sister-in-law, do you dare to kill me?"

"Why don't you dare to do this? Leave the matter of one knife to my sister-in-law!"

Li Ling looked like it was a big deal, pinched the duck's wings, and went to kill the duck with a kitchen knife.

Zuo Jingyan was making other dishes when she heard the duck quacking a few times, followed by the sound of flapping wings, and finally there was no movement.

She never looked back, scooping the hot water from the pot into a basin to mow the duck's feathers. Li Ling took care of everything: "Jingyan, you can make other dishes. Leave this to me. You can't stand the taste."

"

"No, this is too dirty, let me do it!"

Zuo Jingyan stepped forward and wanted to fuck her. The duck was scalded with hot water and became stinky. The smell was not ordinary, so Li Ling pushed her away:

"Protect your hands and don't mess around."

Zuo Jingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to cook other dishes.

Originally, I wanted to fry the fish for Xiaoyu to eat in the evening, but when my mother and eldest brother came, I couldn't live without hard dishes, so I cooked the fish.

Originally I wanted to make cabbage and tofu soup, but now that Laoya soup is available, I changed it to slippery tofu.

You need to fry the tofu in oil. The method is the same as Di Sanxian. The fried tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Add some carrots and peppers and stir-fry with the prepared sauce. The method is not too complicated, but the tofu is made.

It's very delicious. Although it's not meat, it looks like hard vegetables.

After the fish is packed, marinate it with salt and MSG, then add some white flour and fry it in a pan. It will be golden and crispy with every bite, perfect for serving with rice.

Three kilograms of fried fish filled two large plates. Zuo Jingyan left one plate for Xiaoyu and took the rest into the house.

I am very particular about cooking, so my eldest brother and the others just happened to bring eggs and stir-fry them with spring onions. The free-range eggs are the best. They are fried yellow and tender, and paired with green spring onions, they look beautiful.

Stir-fried dried tofu with pepper is a good dish for men to drink with wine. Zuo Jingyan still felt that the dishes were too few. After all, her mother and elder brother came from a long way away and couldn't just cook these few dishes.

"Sister-in-law, please help me go to the grocery store to see if there are any cooked food? Buy two items and come back."

Zuo Jingyan wanted to make the old duck soup and cook some dishes but couldn't go out, so she asked Li Ling to help her go to the grocery store.

"OK."

Li Ling agreed happily and walked out with the money. Zuo Jingyan called out to her again and handed her 20 yuan:

"Sister-in-law, buy two more bottles of wine."

"good."

Li Ling smiled and agreed. After all, it was her mother's family who came, which made Jingyan happy. She had been coming to the family compound for several months and she must have missed her home and relatives.

Zuo Jingyan saw the lianghe noodle buns she and Lu Haoting bought, and called out to Li Ling again:

"Sister-in-law, buy ten more white-flour steamed buns."

"Okay, okay, what else do you want to buy?"

Li Ling smiled and simply stood there waiting for her to finish speaking before leaving.

"Gone."

Zuo Jingyan was very embarrassed and didn't know what was wrong. She felt very excited and happy, so she suddenly remembered something.

"Xiaoyan, mom will help you do it."

After Li Ling left, Ma Yulan walked into the kitchen. She felt heartbroken when she saw Zuo Jingyan busy on the stove. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to help.

My daughter has never cooked at home, she has to bring food to her, and she won't eat the food if it doesn't go well with her.

"Mom, you haven't eaten the food I cooked yet. You are not allowed to interfere today. Let me cook it myself. Go inside and rest quickly."

Zuo Jingyan acted coquettishly and domineeringly and pushed Ma Yulan into the house. Zuo Jingyan saw Lu Haoting drinking tea and chatting with her elder brother and shouted to him:

"Haoting, take care of mom."

Lu Haoting strictly completed the tasks assigned by his wife, and came over to greet his mother-in-law:

"Mom, you drink some tea first, and I'll get some water for you to wash up and cool down."

After he finished speaking, he looked back at Zuo Jingyan and said to himself, was my reception okay?

Zuo Jingyan didn't have time to look at him, so she turned around and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

Lu Haoting went into the kitchen to scoop out water and saw Zuo Jingyan's face flushed with heat. The collar of her shirt was still tightly tied, and the ribbon tied into a bow at the collar made her look even more stuffy and hot.

Recalling the scene when Zuo Jingyan cooked for the first time, she was too hot that day, so she unbuttoned two buttons of her shirt, instead of covering it as tightly as now.

At this time, I felt that the clothes were not good. What kind of shabby clothes could I unbutton and cool down?

Lu Haoting walked over and whispered to Zuo Jingyan:

"Jingyan, go change clothes, these clothes are hot."

"Then look at the pot and I'll go in and change clothes."

Zuo Jingyan couldn't bear the heat. The clothes were not breathable and felt extremely uncomfortable when they stuck to her body. She asked Lu Haoting to look at the pot while she went into the house to change clothes.

Zuo Xiangdong in the room whispered to his mother:

"Mom, I think Haoting is very nice to my little sister and loves her, not like what my little sister said."

"Yes, Xiaoyan is talking nonsense again."

Ma Yulan agreed. Her daughter understood that in order to achieve her goals, black things can be said to be white, and white things can even be said to be black.

But it was strange, Lu Haoting was the man she was desperate to marry, so why did she still frame him like this?

Did she think that her mother-in-law's family could support such a thick waist? She also didn't think about the debt their family owed to Lu Haoting. Even if he was not good to her, the Zuo family would have no shame to say anything. At most, they would take their daughter home and raise her by themselves.

Zuo Jingyan changed her clothes and came out of the back room. The buttons on her collar were unbuttoned. The clothes Lu Haoting gave her just now made her too hot. The collar was as tight as a hanging rope. The cotton shirt was still comfortable and not close-fitting.

It also absorbs sweat and makes breathing easier once the collar is untied.

Lu Haoting started to praise the semi-finished dishes:

"Jingyan, your cooking is really good."

Zuo Jingyan glared at him coquettishly:

"It's a semi-finished product now. You can praise it when it's done."

"Do you need my help?"

Lu Haoting rolled up his sleeves. He could do hard work, pick onions and garlic, and he could learn how to use a spoon.

"Your mission is to keep mom and brother company. The kitchen is my battlefield."

Zuo Jingyan smiled and pushed him outwards, feeling that his back was full of hard muscles, which felt good!

Lu Haoting was so elated by his wife's intimate gesture that he turned around and smiled brighter than the warm sun in winter:

"Then I'll carry one mouth on my two shoulders, just waiting to eat."
Chapter completed!
