Chapter 16

Liu Zhuping has been in a state of inexplicable anxiety all day today, and as the time for getting off work approaches, this anxiety has become more intense.

Subjectively speaking, she was looking forward to the dinner that Lynch was going to cook himself tonight.

But from a rational analysis, she was very melancholy.

If your son does not do well, what kind of attitude and tone should you use to comfort him? Should you encourage him to keep trying and not give up, or should you kindly remind him that everyone has different talents.

How should I say it so that it doesn't seem too hypocritical and also doesn't hurt my son's filial piety and enthusiasm in the future?

Hey, this is the first time in our lives that we are all parents, and we have to be cautious at every stage, walking on thin ice, which is really not easy.

I finally managed to get through to get off work time.

Liu Zhuping walked out of the unit and got into Lin Guodong's car, which had been waiting at the door.

After getting in the car, she spoke immediately.

"Old Lin, what did you eat for lunch? Did Xiaoqi cook it himself? How did it go?"

"He just fried beef kuey teow and made beef ball and lettuce soup. It was simple, but it was quite delicious."

After being married for many years, Lin Guodong could naturally feel his wife's anxiety, so he took the initiative to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqi is really good at cooking. I didn't realize that he was quite talented in this area before. The brat kept it secret. He also said that tonight he had specially prepared your favorite clams.

Braised chicken legs, you can just prepare to go home in peace and enjoy the filial piety of your son."

"Really? That's good."

After listening to Lao Lin's consolation, although Liu Zhuping repeatedly said, "That's good," in fact, her anxiety was not relieved much, and she was still uneasy deep down in her heart.

When Lao Lin saw this, he didn't explain anything. His wife was originally such a worried person, and most women around the age of 50 will experience physiological changes, and their emotions will become sensitive and repetitive.

So comforting her may not have any effect. Anyway, you can see the results in a while, so seeing is believing.

The journey was not long, and after a while, Lin Guodong and his parents-in-law returned home.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Zhuping immediately smelled a strong aroma that hit her nostrils. This smell was very familiar to her. It was the unique aroma produced by her favorite clams and chicken legs stewed together.

So I hurriedly changed my shoes and came to the restaurant. At a glance, I saw the corn rib soup and clam chicken legs that had been cooked on the dining table. I have to say that in terms of appearance alone, it was indeed good and looked quite tempting.

people.

At this point, her heart that had been hanging for a day was finally relieved, and began to turn into joy little by little.

My son has finally grown up!

At this time, Lin Qi was in the kitchen and heard the noise outside, so he stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted.

"Mom, are you back? The fish has been steamed in the pot. I'll stir-fry some vegetables and we'll have dinner right away."

Liu Zhuping's eyebrows were raised with joy and her smile was full of joy.

"Do you need help?"

"No, you can just pack it up and eat."

"good!"

Although she agreed simply, Liu Zhuping still couldn't resist her strong curiosity and sneakily came to the kitchen to find out.

As a result, after witnessing Lin Qi's skillful stir-frying and spooning skills, she had the same reaction as Lao Lin in the afternoon: she was stunned.

Although it was just a simple stir-fried vegetable, the ease and proficiency of it were clearly demonstrated.

While Liu Zhuping was in shock, Lin Qi had already quickly put the fried vegetables on the plate.

At this time, the fish was also steamed. After opening the lid, he picked out the steamed ginger slices, then poured a circle of steamed fish soy sauce on top of the steamed seabass, and placed some shredded green onions and peppers on top.

, and finally pour the hot oil on it. The moment you hear the sound of "sizzling", the kitchen is immediately covered with the aroma.

When Lynch picked up the steaming plates with tools and prepared to serve them, he turned around and saw Ms. Liu standing stunned at the door of the kitchen. He was so frightened that he almost slipped and let go of the clamp.

"Didn't I say you don't need help? Let's go and eat. Mom? Don't block the way. Mom? Mom?"

"oh."

Lin Qi called out two or three times before Liu Zhuping came to her senses and quickly made way for Lin Qi.

Three minutes later, Lin's family of three gathered neatly around the dining table, enjoying the three dishes and one soup prepared by Lin Qi himself.

This was supposed to be a very peaceful and warm dinner, so both Lin Qi and Lin Guodong ignored Liu Zhuping's emotional changes. They did not realize that after tasting all the dishes one by one, instead of becoming happy, she felt

Becoming more and more depressed.

When she first saw Lynch's operation, Liu Zhuping was really shocked. It wasn't until she tasted it for herself that she was absolutely certain that Lynch's level was definitely not inferior to hers.

So she naturally had the same questions as her husband.

"Lynch, when did you learn to cook?"

"He said that he had learned from recipes and cooking videos on the Internet recently when he had nothing to do. If he did well, I said that Xiaoqi has a talent that is hidden deep inside."

After Lin Guodong said these words, his face was full of pride, as if my kid has succeeded and I am very proud.

It’s over!!!

Lao Lin, thank you so much for helping me answer the question.

Have you been a little drifting lately?

This saying about cooking was learned by Lin Qi from watching videos and recipes online at noon, but he didn't expect him to take it seriously. You don't need to take it seriously, and he said it so straightforwardly.

Although strictly speaking, Lynch is not lying, because most of the dishes he knows how to cook are indeed learned from online tutorials.

But that was before his rebirth, and after learning, he spent several years practicing repeatedly to reach the level he is today.

As a result, now Lao Lin said this in front of Liu Zhuping, it was simply an insult to the intelligence of my dear mother.

Sure enough, after hearing what Lao Lin said, Ms. Liu said lightly, "Oh? Really? That's really good."

No, Mom, please listen to me explain (jiao) and explain (bian).

Lin Qi wanted to defend himself, but for a moment he hesitated and didn't know where to start.

He knew in his heart that the rhetoric he had prepared had lost its meaning at this moment.

In the end, I had no choice but to put the duck on the shelf and treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. I nodded stiffly.

"hehe!"

With a contemptuous sneer, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Liu Zhuping, who has been cooking in the kitchen all year round, of course would not believe a word of this.

She knew very well that Lynch's craftsmanship was definitely not something that a beginner could master just by looking at recipes or watching videos.

When cooking, if the steps such as the order of ingredients, method, and seasoning can be followed according to the recipe, then the details such as knife skills and heat can only be mastered through repeated practice and trial.

master.

Not to mention anything else, just the shredded chili peppers and green onions on the plate of steamed sea bass, Lynch had already handled much more decently than she could.

What does this mean?

This shows that Lynch's knife skills are much better than hers.

You must know that no matter how mediocre her cooking skills are, she is still a housewife who has been cooking for more than 20 years. At least she has rich experience.

Maybe Lao Lin had also discovered these doubts, but he might have just been confused and didn't think deeply about it, and he didn't mean to get to the bottom of the matter. He might have even chosen to believe Lynch's nonsense.

But Liu Zhuping was different. The unique delicacy of women and the keen sense of smell as a mother made her think of many things at once.

Cooking is not something that can be mastered based on a temporary interest and a few random fiddles.

It can be seen from Xiaoqi's skillful techniques that he cooks a lot of times.

And he had just graduated from college, and I had never seen him cooking at home before, so the only place where he could learn was during school.

As we all know, university dormitories do not have the conditions for cooking, so he has no choice but to go somewhere other than the dormitory.

Huh, I knew that brat must have secretly rented a house off campus when he was studying.

Since they are all renting a house, it is natural that they cannot just do it for cooking.

It seems that they have been living together quietly for a while when they were studying, and they dared to hide it from me.

The most irritating thing is that the brat has learned to cook for so long, and it was only today that he was willing to cook it for his mother for the first time.

The woman didn't know how many times she had eaten it.

Sure enough, I have a daughter-in-law and I have forgotten my mother. I am so angry!

Lin Qi was eating tremblingly when he suddenly felt a chill coming from him. He turned around and found that his mother was staring at him with an unkind look on her face, as if she was trying to swallow him up with the meal.

Lin Qi felt so guilty that he didn't dare to look at his mother, so he quickly picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her bowl, and tried it with a forced smile.

"Mom, this is your favorite. Eat more. Does it taste good?"

"Oh, it's pretty good."

The conversation was so humorous that Lin and his son immediately fell silent and both lowered their heads to eat.

As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and besides, it is a real tigress. The head of the family was obviously unhappy at this time.

Remember to be careful in your words and deeds.

But Lin Qi was also quite confused. Even if Liu Zhuping was dissatisfied with him for hiding the fact that he could cook, he didn't seem to be so angry.

I don’t understand! I don’t understand!

Could it be the legendary menopause?

Thinking about it, it seems that it has been almost two years.

Alas, what a disaster!

Even if Lynch was beaten to death, he probably wouldn't have thought that Ms. Liu's imagination has already reached the atmosphere.

She was actually able to use the simple fact that Lynch knew how to cook to construct a perfect logical closed loop half-brained and half-reasoned, thereby vividly writing the tragic story of an unfilial son forgetting his mother because of his lust.

By the way, I also steadily helped Zhang Xiaoxiao gain a wave of hatred from her mother-in-law.
