Chapter 159 After eating up all the bitterness of life, only the sweetness was left for him(1/2)
"Then, let me try it?"
"Try it!"
"..."
Hearing what Jiang Yu said, grandma no longer hesitated. She was like a young girl getting into a sedan chair for the first time. After squirming for a while, she felt confident and bold, and completely let go.
She wiped her hands vigorously on her apron, then stretched out her hand to take the bowl from Jiang Yu's hand, brought it up to her face and took a deep sip, her eyes narrowed in intoxication.
After taking the kuaizi, she didn't pick and choose. She picked up a piece of stewed mutton and put it to her mouth and took a small bite:
"Hmm! This mutton is so well stewed, so fragrant and glutinous that you can even eat it without teeth, it's so delicious!"
"If you like it, just eat a few more pieces. I've stewed it in a big pot, it's enough!"
Jiang Yu was also very happy to see his grandma enjoying her meal. He asked, "How is it? Is the salty version suitable?"
"Suitable, suitable! Just right!"
Grandma was so satisfied that her face was glowing red, and she nodded repeatedly. She ate the mutton in small bites and asked,
"Xiaoyu, are these dishes really made by you?"
"Yes, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious! But, why do you know how to cook all of a sudden? I never thought your cooking was so delicious before!"
"Grandma, have you forgotten?"
Jiang Yu put the braised mutton in the pot and said with a smile,
"Didn't I tell you? I have opened a canteen in the school now. If the food is not delicious, which student will be willing to come?"
"Then you don't have to cook for many people every day?"
"Well, almost a thousand people!"
"You cook for more than a thousand people every day?"
Grandma was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the mutton in the bowl no longer smelled good. She murmured,
"My little fisherman is working too hard. He has to cook for so many people every day. How tiring is that?"
"Grandma, don't worry, there are more than ten people in the cafeteria, and I'm not working alone."
Jiang Yu took a look and guessed that grandma was worried, so he quickly said,
"And I am the canteen owner. Have you ever seen any boss who is so tired every day?
I just direct others to do things every day!"
"Don't coax me, being a boss is not easy either."
Grandma shook her head and said,
"The owner of the fried noodle shop next to the vegetable market is as tired as a dog every day and can't make much money..."
Jiang Yu: "..."
Grandma, if you compare the fried noodle shop on the street with my Seven Canteen, you are a bit disrespectful of my big canteen!
The grandfather and grandson stood in the kitchen, one holding a bowl and eating fragrant mutton, and the other gathering around the stove to stir-fry vegetables. They chatted from time to time, and for a while they forgot about all the relatives and elders.
Grandma was eating with her mouth full of oil. Suddenly, an old lady's voice came from behind her:
"Oh, I said, old sister-in-law, you are really good!
He said he invited us all to come for dinner, but when he came, he left us in the lobby and ignored us, while he went to the kitchen to steal some food!"
"Wow! This kitchen smells really good, much better than what I smell outside!"
"Sister-in-law, what are you eating? Looking at your mouth full of oil, I think it tastes delicious. Leave a bite for me to try!"….
"..."
After grandma heard these sounds, her whole body froze. Half a piece of mutton was stuffed in her mouth, and she didn't know whether to swallow it or spit it out.
Her eyes were rolling wildly, and she took advantage of the opportunity to turn around, chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed it, and then looked back.
Okay! All the old men and women that I invited crowded into the kitchen, and their eyes were shining, staring at the dishes on the stove.
With that look, if he hadn't been concerned about the people around him, he would have rushed over to eat it!
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! I am your aunt. I loved you when you were a child. I even want to keep all the delicious food for you!"
You, you, you, hurry up and give me a bowl, I want to taste the meat your grandma eats!"
"Xiao Yu, I'm your uncle. You peed all over me when you were a kid! Uncle, I'm hungry now, can you give me something to eat?"
"A group of old people who are not shy, they are greedy when they are hungry. Why are they talking about childhood? Who remembers so many things about childhood?"
"..."
A group of old men and women crowded in the kitchen, talking to each other and making the small kitchen noisy.
Grandma didn't know what to do, but Jiang Yu didn't panic at all. He quickly took out a clean bowl from the cupboard and quickly took out the braised mutton that had been warmed on the stove and divided half of it into each person.
The bowls were handed over one by one, and he said with a smile:
"Don't worry, everyone. Since everyone has come in, let's eat in the kitchen. It happens to be quite cold outside, so it's a little warmer in the kitchen.
Eat slowly and don't choke. I have prepared a lot of dishes today and I will keep them so that everyone is full!"
When the old men and women heard this, they were immediately satisfied. They all laughed and gave a thumbs up to Jiang Yu:
"I'm just saying, Xiaoyu is sensible. Look, I'm right, right?"
"Does that need to be said? How can my sister-in-law's eldest grandson be worse than others?"
"Today we ate in the kitchen, and we could warm ourselves by the fire. How comfortable!"
"..."
Jiang Yu brought the braised mutton to them one by one, and ran back and forth several times to bring stools and chairs from the living room for these people to sit down and eat slowly.
After finishing all this, he quietly pulled Grandma's sleeves and asked in a low voice:
"Grandma, there are braised pork elbows, rice noodles and fish heads with chopped peppers in the pot. What else do you want to eat? I'll pack some for you."
"It's better to wait a moment."
Grandma put the empty bowl in her hand on the stove, hesitated and said,
"We are inviting these elders to dinner today, so why should we eat first?
It's better to wait until they are full and I can eat some more."
Although grandma felt a little distressed when she was buying vegetables at the vegetable market yesterday, she became generous again when it came time to treat others to dinner.
In fact, she was not a stingy person in the first place. It was purely because she was used to saving money. When she suddenly saw Jiang Yu spending money lavishly, she couldn't get used to it for a while.
"Okay, then I'll continue cooking. There are still a few more dishes that will be ready."
After Jiang Yu heard what his grandma said, he followed her, turned back to the stove, stuffed a few more large pieces of firewood into the stove, and continued to work...
Those old men and women couldn't care about this. After they sat down on the stools and chairs of different heights, they held the bowl in one hand and the kuaizi in the other and began to eat.
"Hoo! This, this is braised lamb, right? It's really crispy when stewed, and the fat almost melts and falls off as soon as you take a sip. It's so delicious!"
"This lean meat is also delicious, very tender and smooth, the juice bursts out when you take a bite, it's so fresh!"
"This dish is much more delicious than the one in the restaurant. Today's visit is really worth it!"
"..."
As the old men and women ate, they were full of praises. Suddenly someone seemed to remember something and asked,
"Hey, didn't you say before that there was a chef cooking? Where is this chef?
If the food is so delicious, the chef must be very good, right?"
"What chef? This is what our Xiaoyu cooks!"
When grandma heard someone talking about this, her face suddenly showed a proud look. She turned to look at her eldest grandson and said proudly,
"Our family, Xiaoyu, has been preparing it very early in the morning. Otherwise, where would you get such delicious food?"
"What? This, this is a small
Made by fishing?"
"The food cooked by Xiao Yu is so delicious. I didn't expect it to be even better than the chefs in big restaurants!"
"What am I talking about? Xiaoyu is really promising! He can be admitted to graduate school and can cook such good food. Others can't even envy him!"
"Xiaoyu has everything in his life! Even if he doesn't study anymore, he can still make a lot of money just by cooking in restaurants!"
"..."
The old men and women kept praising them. In fact, they didn't have any bad intentions, they just said some nice things, but grandma stood aside and became unhappy as she listened.
She curled her lips and muttered:
"What's so good about cooking for others? Our little fisherman doesn't know how to be a chef. He's already in graduate school. After graduation, finding a job is better than being a chef!"
