Chapter 235 Xu Hui Niang's Dark Cuisine

"Mom, it's time to eat~"

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, when they heard someone knocking on the door.

I got up in a daze and opened the door, only to find that the sun had already shone over the yard. It looked to be around 9:00 p.m.

It seems that I prepared everything yesterday, and my heart was at ease. I accidentally overslept.

When Sanni and Xing'er saw the two men get up, they hurried to the backyard to feed the pigs and chickens, making them look like stepmothers exploiting their children.

Although, it was indeed like this in the past.

While rinsing their mouths, the two were still sighing that without an alarm clock, how long they could sleep depended entirely on fate. They didn't even know when the children who went to the market left.

After washing up, the three of them slowly returned to Zheng Yuan's house. When they opened the door, they found that Jiang Chengye and the others were already waiting in the yard.

The two men felt a little embarrassed, but did not show it on their faces. They said that Duan Minmin's family had a lot of livestock that needed to be taken care of, but without waiting for anyone to talk to them, they ran into the kitchen.

Looking at the two mothers who were acting so self-righteous, Sanni and Xing'er doubted their ears. When did the two mothers take care of the livestock this morning? Weren't they the ones who took care of the livestock all morning?

Today it was Tao'er's group's turn to go to the market, so Xu Hui Niang made breakfast. When the two of them went in, the last dish was already out of the pot.

Seeing the two people coming in, Xu Hui Niang was startled.

"Mom, Auntie, I saw that you didn't come. I was afraid of delaying things, so I asked Sanni and Xing'er to help me cook."

"Hui Niang is so thoughtful. We got up late today. Is the food ready?" Zheng Yuan walked to the table to see what was in the basin.

"It's done...it's done, but the smell is definitely not acceptable to mother and sister Tao'er." Xu Hui's mother felt a little guilty.

Tao'er and Zheng Yuan have been taking turns cooking during this period. Everyone knows their cooking skills. This morning, she felt sorry for the two mothers who were too busy during this period, so she wanted to let them have a little more rest before she took the initiative to cook.

But as soon as the dish was put into the pot, she regretted it a little. Her cooking skills were really not that good.

Although I usually watched Zheng Yuan and Tao Er cook a lot of dishes, the taste of her dishes was not right. Not only the taste was wrong, the color was not good either.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at the indeed indescribable dishes in the basin, and couldn't help but twitch their lips.

When the ingredients were not good, everyone just ate wild vegetable porridge and probably no one could tell the difference in Xu Hui Niang's cooking skills. But when the ingredients came, the problem of Xu Hui Niang's poor cooking skills was clearly exposed.

But of course they wouldn't scold.

What a sensible child. In order to let the girls rest for a while, he did so many things. He deserves great praise, not blame.

"You've done a great job, Hui Niang, thank you for your hard work! Whoever dares to say that they are not as good as Tao'er and me, let him do it himself!" Zheng Yuan patted Xu Hui Niang on the shoulder.

"That's right, it's already amazing to prepare five or six dishes so early in the morning! Look, this big table is so fragrant! Isn't it great!" Duan Minmin took a deep breath and praised against her will.

"Really?" Xu Hui Niang's face flushed with praise from the two men.

"Of course it's true. Hui Niang is really capable. Well, now that it's ready, let's set the food out and have dinner."

The three of them brought out the food and dishes, and invited everyone to come and eat.

After the meal, the four managers had to go out with the goods. They were already a little anxious, and when they heard that the meal was about to start, they couldn't wait to pick up their bowls and wait by the side.

Jiang Chengye also wanted to set off, but he knew Xu Huiniang's cooking skills, so he was not in a hurry. He slowly took the bowl and stood at the back. No matter how the four managers pulled him forward, he would not move forward.

Zheng Yuan and Tao'er were the ones who cooked the meals both times that the managers came. Needless to say, the taste was excellent, and many restaurants could not compare to it.

So even though they smelled something wrong with the smell coming from the kitchen in the yard, they naturally felt that the meal tasted the same as before.

But when the managers walked over to the basins containing the vegetables, they were dumbfounded. Why did the color look wrong?

Two of the color, aroma and taste were not right. Several managers were afraid to take action and turned to look at Jiang Chengye.

Jiang Chengye followed the food queue with his bowl in hand, without any extra expression.

Seeing him like this, the managers felt relieved.

My young master has eaten so many meals here, so I guess the color and aroma are normal. Otherwise, with his personality, how could he obediently queue at the back?

He comforted his stewards and felt relieved. They scooped dishes into their bowls with big spoonfuls. The ceramic bowls that were not ordered too much were so full that they popped out.

Xu Hui Niang, who had been standing nearby, was so happy to see how much they enjoyed the food that she rubbed her hands together. She believed what Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin said even more in her heart.

When it was Jiang Chengye's turn, he got a big bowl of rice and only scooped a little bit of vegetables.

Several stewards were sitting at the table waiting for their young master to come over but did not start eating yet. Seeing that there were only a few dishes in Jiang Chengye's bowl, they were wondering if this was not the appetite of their young master.

Just when they were about to say a few words of advice, Jiang Chengye had already picked up the bowl and started eating. The stewards gave up and started to eat rice with their chopsticks.

But this entrance made me stunned for a moment.

This smell?

Manager Li swallowed the big mouthful of food with difficulty and put the bowl back on the table, somewhat doubting his own sense of taste.

When he glanced to the side, he saw that the other three stewards also had an expression of disbelief on their faces. Only his young master was still putting food into his mouth gracefully, as if there was no difference from usual.

But the few sporadic bites of food in the young master's bowl had already exposed the fact that he had known for a long time that there was something wrong with the meal this morning.

"What's the matter? Why are you staring at me instead of eating? Is there something delicious on my face?" Seeing the stewards looking at him, Jiang Chengye gave them a sidelong glance.

The four stewards were so frightened that they quickly picked up the bowls, but were reluctant to put the food into their mouths.

"Let me tell you, this is a treat from the two aunts and their families. You are not allowed to waste the food in your bowl! Otherwise, you will have to solve the problem of eating by yourselves next time you come." Seeing that they didn't move, Jiang Chengye added a stab with a malicious look.

Upon hearing this, the stewards could only resign themselves to their fate and pick up their chopsticks, mechanically putting food into their mouths.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin at another table noticed the commotion here and were almost dying from laughing.

The children at the same table didn't notice the conversation and continued to eat with great enjoyment.

To be honest, although Xu Hui Niang’s cooking is not delicious, it cannot be considered completely dark cuisine.

It’s just that the portions that the stewards served were based on the assumption that this morning’s food was as delicious as usual. If the food was not delicious or even a little unpalatable, these portions would be a bit annoying.

Everyone knows that when food tastes good, the appetite will naturally improve and you can eat more. If the food is not delicious, the appetite will decrease and naturally you will not be able to eat as much as usual.

As for the children at home, they had only lived a good life for a few days. They used to eat wild vegetable porridge. Although Xu Hui Niang's cooking was not as delicious as Zheng Yuan and Tao Er's, it was not so unacceptable to them.

As for Xu Hui Niang, she may have a natural taste filter for the things she cooks.

You can probably tell whether the food cooked by others is good or bad just by eating it, but no matter how bad the food you cook is, it seems to automatically season your mouth.

The worst hit were the managers who were used to eating delicacies from land and sea. Under Jiang Chengye's deliberate guidance, they naturally suffered a great loss.

The bowl of food that stuck out was so filling that several managers looked like they were in pain before they swallowed it all.
