Chapter 54 - second brother marriage
The meal at noon was really hearty. Chen Mingying fulfilled her daughter’s request and made pork belly, pork belly, and braised rabbit.
I didn’t make the beggar chicken. After all, it’s better to cook the whole beggar chicken. One chicken is enough for lunch today, so I don’t need to make so much.
In addition to these three meat dishes, there are also vegetables such as fried tofu, fried pumpkin, and fried sweet potato leaves. The sweet potato leaves were also brought back by Chen Xiayue and the others from the countryside.
Today’s lunch is really delicious. Chen Mingying has been a chef since elementary school and has been a chef for decades, and his craftsmanship is absolutely top-notch.
In this era, meat is rarely eaten. The meat cooked by Chen Mingying is ten times more delicious, especially the pork with plums, which is fat but not greasy, soft and delicious, and the unique salty taste of plums It makes me want to eat three more bowls of rice.
There is also white cut chicken, which is firm and tender, and is particularly refreshing after being dipped in the sauce; the braised diced rabbit is also very fragrant, so that people don’t want to talk anymore, just want to eat and eat.
The younger nephew, Chen Guohua, even had a piece of pork belly, which was full of sauce on his lips, while Li Xinmeng asked his son not only to eat meat, but also some vegetables.
Of course, whether Chen Guohua listens or not is one thing. Li Xinmeng eats very happily herself, so she doesn’t have to pay attention to whether her son eats vegetables or not.
“I thought Xia Yue’s food was delicious enough, but I didn’t expect your father-in-law to be even better at your craftsmanship.” Zhang Chengchuan gave his father-in-law a thumbs up while eating.
During this period of time, he ate the food made by his daughter-in-law every day. He thought he was used to it, and there was nothing more delicious than the food made by his daughter-in-law.
“I taught Xia Yue’s cooking skills, but there are many dishes that this girl can’t cook because of her poor health. In terms of cooking skills, Xia Yue is not as good as mine.” Although Chen Mingying is also very fond of her daughter, but in terms of cooking skills He is extremely confident in himself.
My daughter is only eighteen years old, and she has only been learning to cook for more than ten years. How can she compare to him, a master chef with decades of cooking experience?
“That’s right, Dad’s cooking is more delicious, and I don’t know much.” Chen Xiayue really felt that her cooking skills were not that good. After all, she was self-taught cooking and only had more than ten years of experience. Not like Chen Mingying and other old masters.
And some chefs have good skills, but Chen Xiayue doesn’t.
“Third brother, how about you learn to cook with your father? When will you be able to become a teacher?” Chen Xiayue asked. She couldn’t inherit Chen Mingying’s mantle because of the poor health of her four children. Her eldest brother went to be a teacher. He is also a skilled worker in the machinery factory, and only the third brother has a good culinary talent.
I just don’t know how my third brother is doing now, and whether my father is satisfied or not.
“This…” Chen Xiahua glanced at her father embarrassedly, then smiled and said, “This… When to graduate, my father has the final say.”
When Chen Mingying heard his younger son’s words, he rolled his eyes and said, “You still have to practice if you want to become a teacher. Although this kid has a good talent, he has not studied hard. It will take many years before he wants to become a teacher.”
Chen Xiahua smiled and didn’t speak. He had to go to school before, so he didn’t have time to learn to cook, and his father needed to go to work. After get off work, he would occasionally instruct his sister to cook some dishes that did not require much effort, so Chen Xiahua didn’t study seriously. Over cooking.
However, Chen Xiahua is also talented and likes to cook. Otherwise, even if he fails to go to university after graduating from high school, he will choose other jobs instead of being a helper in the canteen of a food factory under the operation of his father.
“The third brother, study hard. Our father’s craftsmanship is so good, it would be a good thing if you learned all of our father’s craftsmanship.” Chen Xiayue said with a smile.
“You too, don’t stop studying hard because of your poor health. I have taught you for so many years, but don’t ruin your father’s reputation.” Chen Mingying said to her daughter.
“Well, I will.” Chen Xiayue nodded.
The lunch was finished quickly. After all, the food was delicious and everyone ate the food carefully and quickly finished the meal.
In fact, Chen Mingying and Li Guifen only took the morning leave, and they had to go back to work in the afternoon, so did Chen Xiahua.
However, Chen Xiasong and Li Xinmeng didn’t need to go to work because of the weekend. Chen Xiayue chose to come back on a day off because he was worried that there would be no one at home when he got home, which was not good.
It was also rare for Chen Xiabai to take a day off. He was going to go out with his little sister, who had rarely returned to her parents’ home. Anyway, he didn’t have a partner, he wasn’t married, and he kept his salary by himself, and now it’s nothing to spend for his sister.
Chen Xiabai went out with his younger sister and husband, planning to take them to the mall.
“Second brother, you haven’t planned to get married yet?” Chen Xiayue asked curiously as she walked beside Chen Xiabai.
The children of the Chen family are all very good-looking. Chen Xiasong is the type who is handsome but has a bookish scent; and Chen Xiabei, because he has been a soldier, fits the masculine and handsome type very well, but his face is too handsome to add to that. A touch of softness.
Chen Xiabai is the best-looking of the three brothers, and he is completely taking advantage of the advantages of both parents. Even the twins Chen Xiayue and Chen Xiahua are not as good-looking as Chen Xiabai.
Chen Xiayue is not as good-looking as her own brother. Chen Xiabai is not only good-looking, but also has a good height and temperament. In future generations, he will definitely be a handsome guy who will cause countless girls to scream.
If you are in the entertainment industry, with this face and temperament, you can also become the top traffic. What’s more, Chen Xiabai is not a vase. He has been in the army and learned mechanics, but he is an excellent man who can rely on his looks and talents.
Chen Xiayue was satisfied with her appearance, but compared with her second brother, it was still a little worse. She has a good-looking face now, but even if she has the advantage of being a woman, she can’t compare to the second brother who has a beautiful face in a prosperous age.
Chen Xiayue felt that the reason why her second brother was discharged from the army was because of his ridiculously good-looking face.
Well, this is all her speculation. Part of the reason why her second brother retired from the army was because he was injured and could no longer stay in the army.
Chen Xiayue was very curious. With his second brother’s face and his identity as a worker in a machine shop, why hasn’t his second brother been found yet?
Chen Xiabai smiled after hearing his sister’s words and said, “I haven’t met someone I like, and your second brother, I’m still very young.”
He is only 21 years old, one year younger than Zhang Chengchuan, so why do he need to get married early? As for the object, isn’t it the right one that hasn’t been met yet?
Chen Xiabai is also a little arrogant. If the other party’s conditions are not as good as him or too different from him, how can he get along with the other party?
He joined the army after graduating from high school, so the other party must be a high school graduate, right? He is a worker in a machinery factory, and he is also a skilled worker, so the other party should have a stable job, right?
The most important thing is that he has such a good-looking face. If the other party doesn’t say that he looks better than him, he must be on the same level as his sister, right?
Chen Xiabai feels that his conditions are really not high. After all, his own conditions are good, and the conditions of his object are almost not excessive.
