The day before, Xu Hui helped Li Xianglu chop vegetables and such, and after stir-frying a dish, Li Xianglu was amazed. Cooking definitely requires talent; the order of adding seasonings can make the same dish taste different. So, the same dish can taste different depending on who cooks it, and Xu Hui was one of those people particularly gifted at making delicious food using ordinary ingredients.
Li Xianglu then gave up her position as the chief cook and let her take over. The An family father and son didn’t come back at noon, so it was just their family, Xu Hui, and the two kids.
Qin Zhen picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, took a bite and his eyes widened in surprise: "This tastes just like the food at the International Restaurant."
Li Xianglu also picked up a piece, took a bite, and nodded vigorously, swallowing quickly before turning to everyone and saying, "Except for the red bean rice that I steamed, everything else was cooked by little aunt, delicious, isn’t it?"
Everyone nodded. Xu Hui’s face turned red as she modestly said her cooking was just ordinary, but inside she was happy. Finally, she received others’ recognition, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing consistently living off others, and now she felt useful.
However, Mr. Li felt his granddaughter’s cooking was better, the An family daughter-in-law’s dishes were a bit too sweet for his taste. Occasionally okay, but as a person from the Northwest, it wouldn’t work for him in the long run.
After the meal, Xu Hui was in a particularly good mood, insisting on doing the dishes herself and pushing away Li Xianglu who wanted to help, saying she would handle these small chores from now on.
Li Xianglu smiled, shook her head, went back to the room to brew some tea for Grandpa, carried it over, and seeing Mr. Li picking his teeth, she placed it aside and said, "Grandpa, I plan to pick some good items for Grandma Su. Xu Xi mentioned a few days ago that she might go back to the United States soon."
Mr. Li watching his granddaughter couldn’t help but chuckle. Ah Yin and Xiangxiang were too much alike, almost quarreling every time they talked on the phone, but they always cared about each other, and here she was wanting to give something nice to Grandma Su.
