Chapter 257: The First Reunion Dinner at Hua Mansion (1)
"Is it cooked?" Hua Feifan looked at the sweet potato dish in the pot eagerly.
Chen Youyou was really impressed by him. She glanced at her son-in-law secretly and saw that he had a calm expression and was talking to his daughter, as if he was not paying attention to his father-in-law.
Seeing that his heart and eyes were full of her daughter, Chen Youyou couldn't help but curl her lips. Perhaps her husband was right. They were all family and there was no need to be too polite.
Hua Murong had never eaten blanched sweet potatoes before, so she wasn't too sure. She suggested, "Dad, why don't you try one?"
"I've never eaten it, and I don't know if it's cooked even if I try it."
Hua Murong: He can't refute this, so, let him try?
Hua Muyu also wanted to try the hotpot sweet potato dish. She turned to look at Xin Ye beside her and said, "Brother-in-law, do you think the sweet potato dish is cooked? Can we eat it?"
As soon as these words came out, the five members of the Hua family looked at Xin Ye. Xin Ye glanced at the sweet potato dish in the pot calmly: "It's OK, it's already a little overcooked."
Before he finished speaking, Hua Feifan immediately picked up a large piece of sweet potato with chopsticks and put it into his own bowl. Then he reached out and picked up another piece with chopsticks and gave it to his wife beside him. When he was about to pick up another piece, Hua Muyu picked up the last sweet potato in the pot and met his eyes.
Hua Muyu put the sweet potato dish into her bowl without thinking, lowered her head and started eating, pretending not to notice her father's murderous look.
Forget it, there’s still food in the bowl and there’s still food in the basket, so I won’t bother with this brat.
After Hua Feifan comforted himself, he began to taste the sweet potato dish.
I picked up two and put them in my mouth and chewed them carefully. They were a little sweet, with a hint of the green vegetable flavor of sweet potatoes. The taste was average, not bad, but not as sweet as Chinese cabbage. I was suddenly a little disappointed.
After eating, Hua Muyu frowned and turned to look at Xin Ye beside her and asked, "Brother-in-law, this blanched sweet potato dish is not as delicious as the one stir-fried with garlic, why?"
Xin Ye had never eaten such a sweet potato dish before. He took one from Hua Muyu's bowl and tasted it. The eyes of the five members of the Hua family fell on Xin Ye's face again at the same time.
"It's overcooked, and there's no oil, so the taste isn't very good." After commenting, Xin Ye glanced at the many untouched dishes on the table and suggested, "Everyone, eat the other dishes first. When you're almost done, I'll give you some soup with vegetables at the end. Just soup will ruin the soup base."
Xin Ye's cooking skills have been recognized in the Hua family. Even though Hua Feifan and Chen Youyou have never tasted his dishes, from the eldest son's letter and the youngest son's question just now, it can be seen that the three brothers all recognize his cooking skills.
Since he said so, they believed it and decided to blanch the sweet potato dishes at the end.
Then, they saw Xin Ye had been boiling meat for Yan Yiyi. Except for the fish balls and radishes which had been in the pot all the time, which he directly fished out, he never put down his chopsticks for the other meats and tripe.
Why were the slices of meat they took from the pot different from his?
"Brother-in-law, why do you keep holding it like this?" Hua Muyu asked curiously. This question really expressed what was in their hearts.
The five members of the Hua family looked at Xin Ye for the third time. Xin Ye patiently explained, "The meat slices are very thin and easy to cook. If you put them directly into the pot and take them out, they will be overcooked if you are not careful. If they are overcooked, the meat will become tough. Blanching them like this can ensure the right amount of heat. This way, the meat slices will be the most tender and delicious."
"Brother-in-law, can you let me taste the meat in your soup?" Hua Muyu opened her clear big eyes and looked at Xin Ye eagerly.
Without thinking, Xin Ye put the blanched meat slices into Hua Muyu's bowl. Hua Muyu held the bowl and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
My brother-in-law is the best brother-in-law in the world!
After Hua Muyu tasted the pork slices cooked by Xin Ye, she opened her eyes wide in surprise: "The taste is indeed different, delicious! Brother-in-law, did my sister teach you how to eat it? My sister taught us how to eat it this way."
Just when he was about to say "yes", he heard Hua Muyu's next sentence and changed his mind: "I prefer to study food, this is something I have studied before."
"Brother-in-law, can you blanch some more meat for me?" Hua Muyu held the bowl and looked eager again.
Yan Yiyi wanted to refuse for him, but Xin Ye said first: "I'll teach you, it's very simple, this way you can eat as much as you want, and I still have to take care of your sister, be good~"
When Hua Muyu heard that her brother-in-law wanted to take care of her sister, she immediately agreed: "Okay, brother-in-law, you teach me."
Xin Ye began to explain the essentials of blanching dishes and demonstrated the meat slices. He gave them to Hua Feifan and Chen Youyou as a gift. As they were his two older brothers-in-law, he believed that they could support themselves and not rely on him, their brother-in-law, for everything. In the future, they would also be men who would take care of their wives.
The act of boiling the food for himself successfully impressed the Hua couple. Their favorability towards Xin Ye soared again, and their satisfaction with him was almost overflowing.
The atmosphere was just right and we unconsciously started chatting about daily life.
"Aye, do you plan to hold your wedding with Yi'er again?" Chen Youyou asked softly.
Xin Ye said openly, "Of course we have to do it. We didn't have enough time to inform my parents-in-law about our wedding in Dashan Village, so we naturally need to make up for it. I don't have a plan for the specific matters, so I hope my parents will give us some advice and take care of us."
This answer was very much to their liking.
Hua Feifan: "Do I need to buy you a house?"
Xin Ye was puzzled: "Why do you want to buy a house?"
Chen Youyou: "Of course it's a wedding. Yi'er is getting married from the Hua Mansion, so she will definitely need to go out to your mansion."
Xin Ye shook his head: "We are remarrying, not newlywed, so there is no need to go through so much trouble. The daughter-in-law will go out from Hua Mansion, walk around Shacheng, and then return to Hua Mansion. We should pay our respects to our parents.
But I am not marrying into the family, so I need my parents to explain to the guests that we are not holding a wedding. To be more precise, the bride's side is not holding a wedding, and the groom's side has already held a wedding."
Chen Youyou turned to look at Hua Feifan: "Is this okay? Where is this custom?"
Hua Feifan had never heard of such a custom. Even if the bride was marrying far away, she would be sent out and then take a carriage to her husband's house. He would then go back to the bride's house to pay respects to her parents-in-law, and it was a bit like marrying into the wife's family.
Hua Muxin advised: "My brother-in-law doesn't care, so why should you care?"
Hua Murong nodded and said, "Mom and Dad, just say it's the wedding custom of my brother-in-law's side. They don't have the time to travel thousands of miles to investigate anyway.
Furthermore, we also emphasize that the brother-in-law is not a son-in-law. If someone really misunderstands and ridicules the brother-in-law for this reason, we will be able to teach those who spread the rumor a lesson. "
Hua Feifan thought it made sense. He had originally wanted Yi'er to marry him, but he didn't expect that she would marry him after being missing for a year. Now he could make up for the regret in his heart as he could watch her worship heaven and earth with his own eyes.
Xin Ye, his son-in-law, is very much to his liking!
