"I told you not to touch me." Xu Qingyao felt guilty when she saw the faint blood on the corner of Gu Peiran's mouth.

I hope there will be no scabs tomorrow, otherwise Yao Lan and the others will gossip again.

Whether it was because he was bitten or because Gu Peiran lost interest, he stopped harassing Xu Qingyao.

The two of them lay on the same bed and lived peacefully until the next morning.

When Xu Qingyao opened her eyes, Gu Peiran had already gone to the company.

She sat on the edge of the bed, woke up for a while, then slowly washed up and went to the kitchen downstairs.

The kitchen was already busy. Yao Lan and Gu Yunyun were standing in front of a pile of high-end ingredients, laughing and chatting.

When Yao Lan saw Xu Qingyao, he put away his smile and said educationally, "You just got up? There is a banquet at home tonight, don't you know how to come down early to help?"

"Yunyun has been busy since six o'clock. As a sister-in-law, why are you not as sensible as your sister?"

Gu Yunyun also added, "Yes, sister-in-law, you are the last to get up in the whole family."

After Yao Lan had finished educating everyone, he was able to direct Xu Qingyao to do things with peace of mind, "This time Yunyun plans to make borscht soup again. You first wash the vegetables, then cut them and put them in the pot to cook."

Normally, Xu Qingyao would do things obediently as long as she gave her instructions. However, today, she was uncharacteristically standing there motionless.

"Didn't Gu Yunyun get up at six o'clock? Why haven't the dishes been washed yet?" Xu Qingyao looked at the ingredients piled on the preparation table and asked deliberately.

She nudged Gu Yunyun lightly, then opened the refrigerator and pretended to sigh, "It seems that my cousin is really busy and has no time to take out the beef and defrost it."

"Wouldn't it melt if the beef is boiled in water?" Gu Yunyun retorted shyly.

Yao Lan knew that Gu Yunyun couldn't cook at all, and was afraid that she would make mistakes if she said too much in front of Xu Qingyao, so he quickly interrupted, "Why are you talking so much nonsense today, why don't you wash your hands and go help Yunyun."

"Sorry, Mom." Xu Qingyao smiled slightly and refused.

"I plan to cook by myself this time and don't have time to help Gu Yunyun."

"What?" Gu Yunyun screamed, "Grandpa asked me to eat the borscht soup I made. If you don't help me, how can I do my job?!"

Gu Yunyun was so embarrassed that she wanted to use the dishes she cooked for business.

"Then you can only do it yourself, cousin."

After saying that, Xu Qingyao turned around and picked up the vegetables she wanted to use, ignoring Yao Lan and Gu Yunyun who were standing aside.

Seeing that Xu Qingyao really didn't intend to help her, Gu Yunyun hurriedly asked Yao Lan for help.

But Yao Lan was also a person who kept her fingers crossed. She could not force Xu Qingyao, so she had to leave the old house with Gu Yunyun and urgently contact the chef outside to help with cooking.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to add a little more trouble to Xu Qingyao.

"Remember to drink the medicine."

Xu Qingyao received another large bowl of Chinese medicine. She wanted to pour it out secretly, but the nanny kept standing nearby and refused to leave until she saw her drink it.

She turned pale again and scolded Gu Peiran in different ways in her mind.

This time Xu Qingyao wants to make another soup, chestnut and mushroom soup.

Because the main ingredients mature in autumn, it is also called autumn soup.

It tastes delicious and sweet, and is nourishing and nourishing, especially suitable for the elderly.

Chestnuts and mushrooms are not complicated to prepare. They just need to be simmered for a long time to make the ingredients soft and mushy. Then they have to be beaten into a paste with a breaker, and then topped with a special sour cream white sauce and garnish.

Basil powder.

Xu Qingyao was busy all afternoon and finally placed the chestnut and mushroom soup in the dining area before the banquet started.

The Gu family's old house has a dedicated Western-style buffet banquet hall, which is very large, and there are musicians playing soft piano music next to the podium. Under the guidance of the butler, the guests began to enter one after another, and waiters shuttled around distributing drinks.

Although the organizer's Gu family had not yet arrived, the banquet had already begun in an orderly manner, and the overall atmosphere was noble and luxurious.

This banquet was just a welcome banquet for the second son of the Gu family to return home, so it was not a large scale. Most of the invited guests were from other families who had close family connections and were basically related to each other.

They were familiar with each other and chatted in groups.

As they talked, they started talking about Xu Qingyao, the daughter-in-law of the Gu family.

"I heard that the Gu family's daughter-in-law is also going to make a specialty dish for this banquet."

"Really or not? Didn't Yao Lan say that her cooking is particularly unpleasant?"

"Yes, I have to be careful later. It would be great if I could know in advance which dish she is cooking!"

In order to be fair and just, the old man of the Gu family specially formulated the rules. Participants are not allowed to reveal the names of dishes in advance, are not allowed to mark people's names, and are not allowed to spend money to buy votes.

Once discovered, the reward will be immediately voided.

Although the cooking review meeting is not a formal competition, the powerful Mr. Gu serves as the referee, and no one dares to violate the rules.

As soon as Yao Lan and Gu Yunyun entered the banquet hall, they were immediately surrounded by some ladies.

A group of people exchanged pleasantries with each other, and the loud-mouthed Mrs. Li took the lead and couldn't help but inquire about the news about tonight's review meeting.

"Mrs. Yao, is your daughter-in-law really going to participate in the cooking review this time?"

"Yeah." Yao Lan covered her mouth and smiled, "She will try anything she wants this time."

"Say it in advance. If you eat something unpalatable, don't be merciful just because she is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. What our Gu family values ​​is fairness and justice."

"Hahaha, with your words, we feel relieved."

With Yao Lan's permission, the ladies were finally relieved.

After all, they are afraid that giving too many bad reviews will make the Gu family feel embarrassed.

"By the way, what did Yunyun cook this time?" Mrs. Zhang, who had a round face, asked kindly.

Gu Yunyun blinked playfully, "Aunt Zhang, you have to try it yourself! If I had told you in advance, I wouldn't have gotten Grandpa's reward."

"Yes, my old man pays the most attention to rules." Yao Lan continued, "But Yunyun is still young, so she can at most make some simple dishes that are soupy and watery. If you eat them, don't dislike them."

These ladies are all professionals who have been involved in Vanity Fair for many years, so they naturally heard the subtext in Yao Lan's words.

They looked at each other without any trace, and then they all laughed and praised Yao Lan and Gu Yunyun's rainbow farts.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, Xu Qingyao, one of the topical figures, arrived late.

She simply put her hair up, changed into a sapphire blue fishtail dress, and wore matching gemstone jewelry of the same color on her neck and ears.

Although Xu Qingyao comes from an ordinary family, she is beautiful and has a good temperament, and she looks even more eye-catching than other ladies from aristocratic families.

At the banquet, everyone's eyes were attracted.

Gu Yunyun was still angry after being rejected by Xu Qingyao in the morning.
