Chapter 58 Zhang Lin's Craftsmanship

Since everyone drank, the brothers were also drunk, so the original plan to go to the grandparents' grave after dinner had to wait until the brothers were almost sober.

"The eldest and the second family, you take Xiaoyi and Xiaoer over first, let them play with Ranran, and go to the grandparents' graves after everyone sobers up." Xu Runyao ordered the two daughter-in-laws before going to rest.

Seeing that Zhang Lin was also showing a little fatigue, Xu Hanwen sent him to rest in the room that Li Yiran had chosen in the morning.She herself and Lin Jia accompanied the old mother while gossiping about the family affairs and choosing the dishes. This meal was going to be cooked at her own home by the old father himself for everyone to eat.

Not long after, Xu Ming's son, Xu Chengyi, and Xu Lin's son, Xu Chenger, were taken over. One was almost six years old, and the other was just five years old. Xu Chengyi was nearly ten months older than Xu Chenger. He looks tiger-headed and tiger-brained, very cute.

After all, Xu Chengyi is older, so he still has some impressions of Li Yiran, a sister whom he doesn't see often.As soon as I saw Li Yiran at my grandfather's house, I stretched out my chubby little hand to hold Li Yiran, pestering Li Yiran to play with him.Xu Chenger was not to be outdone, seeing his brother holding his sister's hand, he immediately came up to join in the fun.

"Xiaofei, you and Ranran take Xiaoyi to play with Xiaoer, be careful." Lin Jia ordered to watch Li Yiran and their son aside.

The two daughters-in-law of the Xu family saw that their son was being watched, so they helped them choose vegetables.After all the dishes were selected, washed, cut, and tidied up, Zhang Lin and the others also got up one after another. Everyone prepared the necessities for worship. Fourteen people, big and small, old and young, set off in a mighty way.

The Xu family is an outsider. Grandpa Xu Hanwen fled here from other places. Grandma Xu Hanwen's parents saw that he pitifully took him in and married their only daughter to him. Since then, they have taken root in this small town, so paying homage to grandparents is fine. He paid homage to the ancestors of the Xu family, and from then on, Zhang Lin was officially recognized by the Xu family.

There is a special custom in this small town. Whether a family is marrying a daughter-in-law or a daughter, they must bring the new wife and son-in-law to worship the ancestors. Slowly extended and evolved.

Arriving at the grave of Xu Hanwen’s grandparents, Zhang Lin went to do as the Romans did, knelt down with Xu Hanwen, and burned paper money for his grandparents, muttering something in his mouth, and finally both of them kowtowed three times. With the sound of firecrackers, the whole The ceremony is over.

Back home Xu Runyao was going to cook, but Zhang Lin didn't agree, he grabbed the apron from Lao Taishan and wrapped it around himself.

"Dad, you go and rest, let me show my hand. Wenwen, come and help me." Zhang Lin greeted Xu Hanwen while pushing Lao Taishan out of the kitchen.

"How can this be done? Let Wenwen cook. Although her skills are not the best, these dishes are still good." Xu Runyao had the nerve to ask Zhang Lin to cook. The new son-in-law came to work on the first day. Don't let people gossip?
"Dad, I'm also looking forward to Zhang Lin's cooking, so let him cook it once." Xu Hanwen really has never eaten Zhang Lin's cooking. Today, she is a member of her own family. Even if the craftsmanship is not good, no one will. say what.

Xu Hanwen and the others have been learning to cook home-cooked dishes under the strict supervision of their old father since they were young. They all know how to cook a few dishes, and even knead noodles, roll noodles, and cut bread and dumplings, but they have only learned a little. , far behind the old father's craftsmanship.

Now that the old father is getting older, he seldom does it himself. He thought he could take advantage of Zhang Lin's blessing today.But Zhang Lin volunteered to cook, which made them feel a little regretful.At the same time, they also mourned for their own stomachs. They all thought that Zhang Lin, a son of an official family, born with a golden key in his mouth, could wash a bowl. eat it.

But now that even Xu Hanwen has said this, it's not good to discourage Zhang Lin's enthusiasm, it's all just a show.They didn't make a sound, but the private eye contact made Zhang Lin know what they were thinking.Zhang Lin is still very confident in his cooking skills, let them have a look then.

"Why don't you brothers and sisters cook two special dishes for each couple? Let me do the rest." Xu Runyao was a little annoyed when he saw that his sons wanted to go to the theater, but it was not easy to expose, so he proposed new suggestions.

"Dad, you just wait to eat the dishes I cook. Anyway, I must cook them well, and I will definitely not let everyone have diarrhea." As soon as Zhang Lin said this, he saw Xu Hanwen's brothers There were black lines all over his face.God, it turns out that his craftsmanship is just cooked
"Okay, okay, Zhang Lin, let's cook, everyone is waiting to taste your cooking." Xu Hanwen wanted to eat Zhang Lin's dishes more and more.

Based on what she knew about Zhang Lin, he was not the kind of person who would push himself ahead, and would never take on the porcelain job without diamonds. She was full of expectations for the dishes tonight.

Compared to Xu Hanwen's parents' worries and brothers' contempt, although Lin Jia was not very sure that Zhang Lin could prepare a table of delicious dishes, she felt that at least they were edible, and Zhang Lin was not the kind of person who would aim at nothing.

And Li Yiran was having a great time with Xu Fei and her two little cousins, and didn't care about the turbulent tide between adults at all.

Soon there was a burst of fragrance from the kitchen, which attracted Xu Hanwen's brothers who wanted to squeeze into the kitchen to see how these fragrant dishes looked like, but it was a pity that Xu Hanwen blocked the door.

After more than half an hour, when Xu Hanwen put on the table one by one the dishes that seemed to arouse the appetite, everyone was a little stunned.Are these really dishes prepared at home?Did Zhang Lin really make it?

The color and fragrance are excellent, just looking at it makes people drool, wondering what it will taste like in your mouth?Everyone is thinking this way.

A few children were already attracted by the aroma, pointing to those that looked beautiful and smelled good, and clamored to eat them.

After most of the dishes were served, Zhang Lin invited everyone to the table. In the evening, there were two children and Xu Yang's fiancée, but the Xu family's big round table was very big, even if twenty of them sat together, it wouldn't be too crowded.

When Xu Runyao gave an order, everyone moved their index fingers, all young and old, all moved, fearing that if they were slow, they would not have anything to eat. In fact, there are a lot of dishes prepared today, and these are only a part.There are still some that are slowly burning and stewing in the pot. Even if the house is heated in cold weather, the dishes will still get cold faster, so what is served now is just an appetizer.

"Is the food ready? It shouldn't make everyone have diarrhea." Xu Hanwen looked at her brothers who were eating happily and asked deliberately.

"Hehe, it's delicious. It's really delicious." Xu Yang is a straightforward person, without so many twists and turns in his heart, and praised vaguely while eating.

"Is it delicious? Hehe, today's performance can only be considered average."

"Zhang Lin, how did you manage to cook such good dishes? Wenwen will be lucky in the future." Lin Jia also praised Zhang Lin's dishes full of praise.

"When I was in middle school, my grandfather would send me to the army to exercise every time I was on vacation. That's when I learned from the chef of the army. Although the chef was only in the army, his craftsmanship was first-class. Even my grandfather When I go to the army, I always ask for his cooking." Zhang Lin finally solved the mystery in everyone's mind.

"Old Dou, you must teach my mother the skills." Li Yiran mumbled her request while eating.

"It's fine to just let your old man cook it for you to eat. Why do you have to teach it to your mother?" Xu Runyao asked in puzzlement after hearing Li Yiran's words.

"I'm going to work in S City soon, and I won't be in Beidu anymore, so I won't be able to eat his dishes. Laodou has raised my mother well, and my mother can visit me in Beidu when she is free. It means that you often have the opportunity to eat Laodou's dishes." Li Yiran explained shaking her head.

"Are you going to Beidu? Why?" Everyone in the Xu family looked at Li Yiran in confusion.

"That's right, Ranran's painting teacher and senior brother have all gone to Beidu, so Ranran has to go to Beidu to go to school. From now on, Ranran will live with her great-grandfather, grandparents and senior brother." Li Yiran talked about going to Beidu to go to school, A look of pride.

"That's right, don't you miss your mother?" Uncle Xu Ming teased her.

"I want to, of course I want to! But Ranran also wants to learn how to draw with the teacher, and my mother agreed, and she will visit me in Beidu whenever she has time. Besides, there are great-grandpas and grandparents who love Ranran very much in Beidu, So even though I miss my mother, I still decided to go to Beijing to go to school. Let me tell you a secret, my great-grandfather is also a painter. When I was in Beijing, my great-grandpa taught me to paint, and everyone said that it was much more vivid." Li Yiran paid The appearance of a little adult.

The dishes were served one by one, and everyone was satisfied with the meal, and they were even more convinced of Zhang Lin's cooking skills, and they were full of praise, so they agreed with the new son-in-law who came to the house for the first time.

Zhang Lin paid a visit to Lao Taishan. With his excellent performance, almost everyone gave him full marks.

After dinner, Xu Hanwen took out the gifts she gave to everyone. The brothers got jade pendants, all of which matched their zodiac signs. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law all got the same gold bracelets, and the two little nephews got jade pendants. The same golden lock and zodiac jade pendant.In addition, the same copy was prepared for Xu Yang's future children, and it was given to Xu Yang in advance for him to keep it by himself.

Finally, Xu Hanwen put a rather heavy gold necklace around the old father's neck with her own hands, and took out a jade bracelet for her mother to put on.

It was originally a pair of jade bracelets. Xu Hanwen thought about it for a long time, and discussed it with Lin Jia for a long time. After all, her mother has three daughters-in-law. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, she decided to give only one to her mother, and Xu Hanwen herself. Do favorites.

Seeing so many precious gifts, everyone was speechless for a moment. Xu Hanwen's handwriting was too big this time.Although everyone in the family knew that Xu Hanwen had received a lot of compensation, they also knew that she bought a house and had a loan. Where would she have the money to buy these? !Could it be Zhang Lin who made it? Everyone's eyes on Zhang Lin have changed again.

"Ahem, everyone, don't look at me. I didn't buy these. Wenwen paid for them herself." Zhang Lin saw everyone's gazes, understood everyone's thoughts, and immediately clarified.

"These really don't cost much. They are all things that can ward off evil spirits. I hope everyone can be healthy. Money is something outside of the body, and health is the most fundamental thing. This is the truth I realized while lying on the hospital bed this time." .Our family will be healthy and happy in the future. This is Hanwen's greatest wish in this life."

"Yes, health is a blessing! Everyone put away all the gifts that Wenwen gave you. From now on, you must take care of your health and have a physical examination every year. Don't be reluctant to give up money. Money is something outside the body, and the body is the real capital." Xu Runyao listened After listening to his daughter's words, he felt that after this car accident, his daughter had changed a different person.

"I'm going to rest. You young people will talk again, but it's not too late. Everyone has a lot of work to do tomorrow, so go to bed early." Xu Runyao made today's concluding speech. He always goes to bed early and gets up early, but I also know that young people do not rest so early.
