Chen Zhaozhao didn't hesitate after listening to Liu Guihua's words, and used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for Yu Jinggui.
"You like to eat braised pork with pickles. We don't have pickles here, only salt pickles. Try it and see how it tastes?"
Yu Jinggui looked at the pork belly that fell into the bowl. The sauce was red and shiny, and the slices of meat were neither thick nor thin, with alternating fat and thin. It looked very delicious.
However, he did not eat it immediately. Instead, he looked at Chen Zhaozhao opposite him with confusion, "How do you know that I like to eat braised pork with pickled vegetables?"
Chen Zhaozhao was about to serve Chen Dawang some meat when he heard what he said. Why did the question sound a bit ambiguous?
She coughed lightly and tried to say calmly: "I heard that."
"Who said that?" Yu Jinggui didn't intend to let her go, "I don't think I've ever told anyone."
He has never told anyone what he likes to eat, especially braised pork with pickles and vegetables. He only ate it once. At that time, he felt it was okay, but not to the point where he liked it.
Chen Zhaozhao, "..."
Is she about to reveal her secret?
Yu Jinggui hasn't told anyone yet that he likes to eat braised pork with pickled vegetables?
Could she tell him that she was watching Future's interview and listening to his own words?
"You didn't say that?" Chen Zhaozhao's mind was racing, "Maybe I remembered it wrong. If you don't like to eat, tell me what you like to eat, and I will do it next time."
Yu Jinggui looked at Chen Zhaozhao inquiringly, always feeling that she was a little nervous for no reason, but the nervousness dissipated immediately, and he did not delve into it further.
Chen Zhaozhao was indeed a little nervous just now, but he was relieved when he thought that Yu Jinggui never thought that she was reborn.
But I also said things I shouldn’t have said because of my nervousness. What the hell will it be next time?
And cook what he likes to eat.
Would he feel that she was refusing to welcome him from the beginning to the end?
Probably not. Let me try to remedy this by saying, "Since it's a treat to express my gratitude, of course it should satisfy you."
Yu Jinggui nodded.
Chen Zhaozhao still didn't understand what he meant by nodding. Did he agree with her statement, or was he just a symbolic nod but actually doubtful about her words?
But she didn't delve into it.
No matter what he wants to think or think.
Without saying another word, Yu Jinggui took a bite of the meat and his eyes lit up.
Fragrant, so fragrant.
He finally fully understood what it means to be fat but not greasy.
The fat part of the pork belly melts in your mouth, and the lean part is soft and mellow. The pork belly absorbs the sour aroma of the salted vegetables, making it more refreshing and delicious.
He picked up the salted vegetables with his chopsticks again, and the salted vegetables were soaked with the aroma of meat, making them especially delicious with rice.
"It's delicious." Yu Jinggui commented, "With this dish, I can eat two more bowls of rice."
"As long as you like it." Chen Zhaozhao said with a smile and looked at Chen Damei, "It's not in vain that my sister got scalded a few times while frying the meat."
"Sister, are you okay?" Yu Jinggui immediately asked with concern.
"It's okay." Chen Damei said, "You can eat more if you like."
"My eldest sister's cooking skills are better than those of the chefs in state-owned hotels in provincial capitals." Yu Jinggui praised her sincerely.
"What the hell." Chen Damei was horrified, "How can I dare to compete with the chefs in the provincial capital? Zhaozhao taught me this well. If she hadn't taught me, I wouldn't be able to cook these dishes."
"Oh?" Yu Jinggui looked at Chen Zhaozhao with interest, "Why are you so good?"
"Well, that's what I thought of." Chen Zhaozhao said vaguely. She didn't say what she read in the book. If Yu Jinggui asked which book she read, she wouldn't be able to answer.
And she didn't know if there were any books on this topic in Huixi County.
"This is mainly because my eldest sister is good at cooking." Chen Zhaozhao turned his attention to Chen Damei.
She told Chen Damei how to make many kinds of vegetables. She only gave a rough introduction, but Chen Damei knew how to cook it as soon as she heard it, and the taste was quite good.
Chen Damei is very talented in cooking.
Excluding the factor of spiritual spring water, her craftsmanship is excellent.
Because Chen Ermei and the others have made the same ingredients, but they are not as delicious as Chen Damei's.
Seeing that Chen Zhaozhao didn't want to talk, Yu Jinggui didn't ask any more questions, and Chen Zhaozhao hurriedly invited everyone to eat.
Everyone stopped talking and focused on enjoying the food.
After eating at Chen Zhaozhao's house, Yu Jinggui deeply realized what it meant to enjoy delicious food.
In the past, he thought that eating was just something he had to do to replenish his physical energy, and he had no expectations for eating.
Now I feel that eating is really a pleasure.
After dinner, Yu Jing returned to the county town.
He came by bicycle.
The bicycle was provided by the county grain station, and it took half an hour to reach the county by bicycle. He set off at this time, and he had just arrived in the county.
The time is just right.
Because she had eaten dinner early and was worried that he would be hungry at night, Liu Guihua asked Chen Damei to fry him some fried meat and fish nuggets to take with him.
Fried fish cubes are fried when frying meat. The fish cubes are marinated before frying. They can be eaten directly or processed and fried before eating.
Yu Jinggui did not refuse. Chen Zhaozhao's salted vegetables were well pickled and sour and appetizing. They were stir-fried with dried chili powder and minced meat. They were salty, sour and spicy, and were especially delicious with rice.
Not to mention fish pieces, he now loves to eat fish.
Yu Jinggui rode his bicycle to the county town in a happy mood. When he arrived in front of the village, Zhang Dagui and Zhang Gangjun were waiting to stop him on the roadside.
Yu Jinggui stopped and looked at them questioningly, "Is something wrong?"
"Comrade Yu, I'm getting married today and would like to invite you to my house for a wedding banquet." Zhang Dagui said politely.
Yu Jinggui knew everyone in the village, but he was not familiar with them. He only knew their faces and names.
The educated youth have always kept a distance from the villagers and do not have much contact with each other.
Because Yu Jinggui used to be the director of the educated youth camp, he had more contacts with the village.
He was revered by the educated youth and the villagers. In the past, people in the village would invite him when they were holding weddings, so it was not unexpected for Zhang Dagui to invite him.
Of course, he had declined before, and he would certainly not agree now.
"Congratulations then." Yu Jinggui said with a calm expression, "But I've already had dinner and I have something to do in the county, so I'll leave first."
Yu Jinggui didn't wait for their answer and prepared to get in the car and leave.
Zhang Dagui thought of his damn plan and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Comrade Yu, you won't have dinner so early, so you don't have to be so polite to us.
Comrade Xu and the others are all at my house, and Comrade Jiang is also here. I have specially prepared a banquet for you in the evening. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so let’s get together and join in the fun.”
Everyone is saying that Jiang Yuzhi and Yu Jinggui were childhood sweethearts and they liked each other.
Zhang Dagui felt that if he told Jiang Yuzhi, Yu Jinggui would definitely agree.
Yu Jinggui looked at the flattering look on Zhang Dagui's face, thinking about what happened between him and Chen Ermei, looked at his hand pressing the bicycle, his eyes darkened, and refused again.
"I really have something to do, so I won't get together with everyone."
"Comrade Yu, please give me some face. Everyone is waiting for you, especially Comrade Jiang." Zhang Dagui grabbed the bicycle and refused to let go.
Jiang Yuzhi was sacrificed again.
"Yes, Comrade Yu, go ahead. Everyone is waiting for you. If you can go, everyone will be very happy." Zhang Gangjun also advised and blocked the bicycle.
There was a tendency of Yu Jing not wanting to go back, so they tried their best to stop him from leaving.
"I'm not going." Yu Jinggui refused more directly, and his words were not very polite, "I'm not interested in drinking someone's second wedding."
If Jiang Yuzhi was not here, he could still think about it. What did he mean by mentioning Jiang Yuzhi again and again?
"Go, Comrade Yu." Zhang Dagui's face twitched and he gritted his teeth and insisted.
Their excessive persistence made Yu Jinggui narrow his eyes dangerously. He felt that the attitude of these two people was not quite right.
"Why are you so insistent that I go?"
Zhang Dagui and Zhang Gangjun's expressions froze, and their eyes flashed with guilt. They were ordinary farmers and were not very good at hiding their emotions.
"What do you want to do?" Yu Jinggui asked coldly, with full momentum.
