Chapter 587: Display of Cooking Skills

Elder Mo said, “Of course they will stop it, but they won’t stop it like Mo Long’s parents did. At that time, as long as we could afford a bicycle, a radio, and a chicken, we could marry the girl we liked.”

Jiang Yu asked, “But grandpa only entered the city from the countryside not long ago, right?”

Elder Mo chuckled, he said, “Actually, grandma bought it with her own salary and stuffed it into my hands so that I could use it as a betrothal gift. Otherwise, I don’t know how many years I would have to work to earn enough money.”

Jiang Yu sighed. “That’s great…”

Mo Long, who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, walked over and said, “It’s time to eat.”

Elder Mo turned around and looked at the apron on Mo Long’s body. He asked in disbelief, “Just now… Was it you who was cooking?”

Mo Long pretended to be calm and said, “It was me.”

The expression on his face was not quite right. Jiang Yu asked in puzzlement, “Why do you have that expression?”

Elder Mo was also very puzzled. “Can your cooking be eaten?”

Mo Long: “…”

Jiang Yu and Elder Mo still went to the dining table for Mo Long’s sake. However, when they saw the black thing in the bowl, the expressions on their faces changed.

“What… Is this?” Elder Mo asked hesitantly.

Jiang Yu didn’t see it either and guessed, “Is this… the noodles burnt?”

Mo Long coughed dryly and said, “It’s fried eggs.”

Elder Mo pointed at the black fried eggs and said in shock, “This is fried eggs? I thought it was a bomb!”

Mo Long said, “… Grandpa, you don’t have to be so disrespectful to me.”

Jiang Yu sighed and said, “Forget it. Sit with Grandpa in the living room. I’ll go cook.”

Elder Mo was surprised again. “Jiang Yu, you know how to Cook?”

Jiang Yu untied Mo Long’s apron and tied it around her body again, she smiled and said to Elder Mo, “When I was working part-time, the neighbor aunt taught me. However, I only know some home-cooked dishes. Grandpa, please don’t dislike it.”

With that, Jiang Yu went to the kitchen to show off her skills.

The kitchen auntie had a headache just now because Mo Long was busy here. Now that she saw Jiang Yu come in, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. She thought that the male and female owners of this house had taken the wrong medicine today, one by one, they came to the kitchen to cause trouble.

The auntie said, “Madam, I’m here in the kitchen. You should go to the living room.”

Jiang Yu said, “Auntie, don’t worry.”

Since the hostess had said so, it wasn’t good for the auntie to insist. So she said, “Then I’ll help Madam.”

Jiang Yu said, “Thank you.”

Jiang Yu asked the auntie to boil a pot of boiling water. After washing the tomatoes, she scalded them with the boiling water. Then, she fried the eggs and scooped them out. She poured them into the tomatoes and continued to fry them.

The auntie was washing the oiled wheat vegetables at the side. When she saw Jiang Yu’s skillful movements, she was a little shocked and asked, “Madam, so you really know how to cook?”

Jiang Yu said while frying the vegetables, “The neighbor Auntie taught me some home-cooked cooking methods.”

“I see.”

In just half an hour, Jiang Yu had already prepared the fried tomatoes and eggs. Stir-fried meat with green peppers and fried garlic moss.

“It’s time to eat!” Jiang Yu served the prepared dishes and said, “There are fewer dishes. Grandpa, please don’t mind.”

Elder Mo smiled and said, “I have a granddaughter-in-law who can cook. Why would I mind? I’m more than happy!”

Jiang Yu smiled embarrassedly and said, “Grandpa, please don’t make fun of me.”

Elder Mo laughed and said, “Okay. Let’s eat.”
