Chapter 2838: A Cook
"Sister, I found a job."
As soon as Wu Yanzu saw Tong Lan, he said excitedly: "I also advanced one month's salary. Although it is not much, it is enough to support myself."
Tong Lan was also happy for him.
Originally, Tong Lan's mood today was not beautiful.
I called Jin Zhuxuan and asked him when he would be back. My son missed his father.
Unexpectedly, she was scolded by Jin Zhuwei on the other end of the phone and told her not to call her casually in the future.
Tong Lan knows why.
Because their relationship is not visible to the public.
Because Jin Zhuxuan cherishes his identity.
Therefore, Tong Lan is destined to be his underground lover.
Therefore, my son is destined to not have a father.
But the arrival of Daniel Wu made her mood suddenly improve.
"Sister, I'll invite you to a restaurant for dinner."
As soon as Wu Yanzu finished speaking, Tong Lan said: "How much salary do you have per month? Where do you go to a restaurant? If you have food at home, you cook it at home."
"Okay." Wu Yanzu nodded repeatedly: "Sister, I'll cook."
Tong Lan was a little confused: "Can you cook?"
"Yes, of course I will." Wu Yanzu got into the kitchen without saying a word.
Wu Yanzu once told Tong Lan that he was from the Jiangnan area.
Tong Lan is from Suzhou. When she was ten years old, she came to Chongqing with her parents.
So when she knew that Wu Yanzu was from Jiangnan like herself, she naturally felt a little more cordial in her heart.
What Wu Yanzu cooks is naturally from the Jiangnan area.
Especially the braised pork is very different from Chongqing's cooking method.
First, light a fire, then add oil to a cold pot, then pour sugar into the oil, stirring constantly with a spatula.
"What is this?" Tong Lan asked.
Tong Lan has been in Chongqing since she was a child, and she has never learned how to make Suzhou cuisine.
"This is to adjust the color of sugar."
Wu Yanzu said while stir-frying: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, salty and umami, with a sweet finish."
Seeing the sugar boiling down to the color of soy sauce, Wu Yanzu poured the meat into the pot and stir-fried it quickly: "When it comes to sweetness, no one can beat it in Wuxi. Wuxi's dishes are all about sweetness, as long as they are meat dishes
, you must put sugar in it.
Even if it is a vegetarian dish, a scrambled egg with tomatoes must contain sugar, otherwise it will not be a Wuxi dish. There is also a stir-fried assorted dish, which is the best test of the chef's skill."
He put the condiments, added water, and closed the lid: "Sister, do you know why Wuxi people love sweets so much?"
Tong Lan shook his head.
Wu Yanzu said with a smile: "In ancient times, especially in the Su, Xichang and Suzhou area, having sugar in the house was a symbol of wealth and status. The more sugar, the richer the family was. Slowly, it evolved into their habit of eating sweets.
.”
"There is such a saying." This is the first time Tong Lan has heard of it.
The two of them were chatting and cooking, and time flew by.
Seeing that the braised pork was almost ready, as soon as the juice was gone, Daniel Wu sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on top and then placed it on the plate.
This braised pork dish is crystal clear and paired with green chopped green onions. It will make people salivate at the first sight.
"Sister, you try a piece first." Wu Yanzu picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and brought it to Tong Lan's mouth.
This action seemed to be a little more intimate. Tong Lan hesitated for a moment, but then he leaned over and ate the piece of meat.
A forgotten but extremely familiar smell quickly spread from Tong Lan's taste buds to the deepest part of his memory.
That’s right, it’s the same smell as when I was a kid!
Sweet, sweet to the heart!
This younger brother is humble, cautious, and polite. He is also good at cooking and knows so much.
"time to eat."
Wu Yanzu brought the dishes to the dinner table and suddenly patted his head: "Oh, it would be great if there was wine."
"Yes, you wait."
Tong Lan went to get a bottle of foreign wine, which Jin Zhuxuan brought when he came.
After calling his son out, Jin Chengrui said it was delicious and even more delicious than what his mother made.
Tong Lan didn't care at all. With a smile, she picked up a piece of meat and put it in her son's bowl: "Eat quickly. Go to bed early after eating."
Wu Yanzu slowly sipped the wine and didn't say much.
Jin Chengrui was also well-behaved. After eating and playing for a while, he washed up and went to bed.
Tong Lan just came back and saw that Daniel Wu didn't drink much: "What, doesn't it taste good?"
"No." Wu Yanzu smiled: "Drinking alone is boring."
"Then let me have a drink with you." Tong Lan knows how to drink some wine, but his drinking capacity is not very good.
She didn't know what was wrong, but she felt very relaxed and friendly when she was with this younger brother.
Tong Lan is sipped lightly.
Wu Yanzu looked at him and asked casually: "Brother-in-law, won't he come back?"
He was originally in a good mood, but Tong Lan was immediately upset by such words: "How can he still have this family in his heart?"
As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the cup, and his words were filled with bitterness: "Actually, how can this be his home?"
Wu Yanzu poured her another half glass of wine: "Sister, what's going on between you and your brother-in-law?"
Tong Lan lived alone with her son all year round, and she never had anyone to talk to about her grievances. Seeing that she had such a younger brother who knew both cold and hot, Tong Lan poured out all the bitterness in her stomach with the help of alcohol.
.
…
A bottle of wine has gradually reached its bottom.
Wu Yanzu didn't drink much, but Tong Lan drank most of it.
That's what people do when they drink.
What does "chatting is the best food to go with wine" mean?
That's what it means.
If you talk too much, you will naturally drink too much without even realizing it.
All the things that happened to her over the years came out of Tong Lan's mouth, driven by alcohol.
She is drunk.
Sometimes he cries, sometimes he laughs.
Wu Yanzu was afraid of waking up Jin Chengrui, who was already sleeping in the next room.
Fortunately, the child was asleep and difficult to wake up.
"Sister, you drank too much, stop drinking."
"No, I can still drink. Brother, you drink with me."
Tong Lan is very drunk.
"Sister, let me help you go to rest."
Wu Yanzu stood up and helped Tong Lan up.
Tong Lan's whole body was soft and she couldn't use any strength at all. She completely leaned on Daniel Wu's body.
At this moment, she couldn't tell whether it was her brother or Jin Zhuxuan who was supporting her or holding her.
When they arrived in the bedroom, Wu Yanzu gently put Tong Lan on the bed.
Suddenly, Tong Lan grabbed him: "Are you leaving again? My child really misses you, don't leave. Please, brother, don't leave!"
Um?
younger brother?
At this moment, Tong Lan already regarded Wu Yanzu as the father of her child.
Maybe, Tong Lan and Jin Zhuxuan have been together for so long, it would be better to know this younger brother for a few days.
Originally, in Daniel Wu's opinion, this scene would take some time.
He didn't expect it to progress so quickly.
It seems that this woman needs a man by her side so much.
Wu Yanzu took advantage of the situation and fell next to her, and before he could take action, Tong Lan had already hugged him.
Our Azu was never a good person, he was just a cook!
