Gu Zhi showed no expression when he heard this, but the expressions on Mr. and Mrs. Qin's faces changed instantly.
The two looked at Gu Zhi awkwardly and sensitively.
Gu Mu came out of the kitchen and heard this, she smiled and said, "Xiao Han, you're being too formal saying this, of course, we wouldn't mind such a small thing, but I wonder if you're used to the things we've made?"
Her tone was friendly, but when she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Qin, there was an inexplicable arrogance.
In her eyes, how could people like the Qin Family be worthy of eating what she made?
Gu Zhi smirked coldly.
Mrs. Qin naturally heard her meaning too and carefully asked Gu Zhi, "Zhi Zhi, should we make something ourselves?"
"Sure," Gu Zhi vaguely remembered that in the script Mrs. Qin's cooking was very tasty, so she nodded, "Let's do it together."
"Okay." Mrs. Qin finally showed a relaxed smile.
There were plenty of ingredients in the fridge, a dazzling array of samples. Mrs. Qin washed the vegetables, while Father Qin started washing the rice to cook, the two were perfectly in sync.
Gu Zhi stood beside them, beating eggs and peeling garlic. There was a camera facing her, capturing her cool, serene face and her long, slender hands.
[Damn, how come I never noticed Gu Zhi was this good-looking before, can even hold up under this kind of shot!]
[Ahhh, sister, don't peel garlic anymore, peel me, I'm clean and waiting for you~]
[Hahaha, put on some clothes first before you comment, above! But the Qin Family's atmosphere is so cozy, Mr. and Mrs. Qin feel like ordinary couples who accompany and respect each other in life.]
[But weren't Gu Yiyi and Gu Ma already done cooking? Why is the Qin Family still acting here?]
Just as the barrage was in an uproar, Mrs. Qin finished making dinner.
Four side dishes and a soup, and the kitchen was instantly filled with a rich aroma.
When served, Jiang Xiangwan, who was already half-full, couldn't help but look up, "Wow, smells amazing. Zhi Zhi jie, what did you guys make again?"
Gu Zhi came out with a bowl, hearing this, she curled her lips, "Just fried a few side dishes, want to try?"
"Sure," Jiang Xiangwan never refused food, already extended her fork and poked a piece of meat into her mouth, her eyes lit up instantly, "Wow, delicious! Did Aunt Qin make this herself?"
Mrs. Qin smiled shyly, "Just casually fried a few home-cooked dishes."
Han Liheng glanced over, indeed they were all home-cooked dishes, but what Mrs. Qin made was visually appealing and still steaming, he couldn't help but swallow, as he picked up a piece with his chopsticks and said disdainfully, "Isn't this what you can get at any regular small restaurant on the street? Still, Aunt Gu's steak is better—"
Before he finished speaking, once he tasted it, he couldn't say anymore.
[Cue: Non-still frame.]
[Hahahahahaha what's going on, Han Liheng, do tell, which one tastes better?]
[I'm dying of laughter hahaha isn't his answer obvious, his eyes are glazed over!]
[How tasty is it exactly, I'm drooling in front of the screen, the presentation looks better than what my mom makes (just kidding)]
"How is it? Isn't it delicious?" Jiang Xiangwan was eating while looking up at him, "This sour and spicy shredded potatoes taste so authentic, both sour and spicy, I never knew shredded potatoes could taste this good!"
Han Liheng licked his lips, hesitated for a second, and reached out for more, "I couldn't tell, let me try it again."
"And this tofu, it's spicy, so tender! Aunt Qin, your cooking is amazing!"
She was trying to poke it into her mouth with a fork but couldn't, getting anxious.
Gu Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, so she handed her a spoon.
"Thank you, Sister Zhi!" Jiang Xiangwan took the chopsticks and was shoveling it into her mouth voraciously, suddenly remembered something, and asked cautiously, "It's okay to eat more of this food, it won't make me gain weight, right?"
Gu Zhi couldn't help but chuckle, shook her head, "No."
[Hahahahahaha Wanwan has body management awareness, but not much.]
[Oh my gosh hahaha these two treasures are going to make me laugh to death eventually.]
[Ahh I'm dead, Gu Zhi laughed! Does no one think she dotes on Jiang Xiangwan? It's kind of heartwarming, what's going on!]
[Woman! I order you not to smile at others!]
The people present have all Chinese palates, and hearing Jiang Xiangwan's exaggerated compliments made them unable to resist, they unhesitatingly abandoned the western food made by Gu Yiyi and Gu Mu and tried a few bites of Mrs. Qin's cooking, all were amazed.
Mrs. Jiang: "Sister Qin, this cooking is really good, you've mastered the heat control so well, I couldn't do this even if you gave me decades."
Sun Chaohua gobbled up several bites, "To be honest, this is much better than my mom's cooking, if it weren't for Aunt Qin's dishes, I wouldn't have known home-cooked food could be this good."
"You ungrateful," Sun's mother laughed angrily, couldn't help but give him a slap, "Revealing my shortcomings!"
[Hahahaha Brother Sun really dares to speak, your mom is right next to you!]
[Isn't it, why is this atmosphere unexpectedly good, could it be because of Gu Zhi's family? I'm not sure, need to see more.]
Mr. Gu couldn't help but pick up a piece, tasted it, and his expression changed.
But remembering who made it, he immediately concealed his amazed expression.
He commented, "Not bad, but compared to our family's helper, still lacks a bit."
Across from him, Gu Yiyi and Gu Mu's expressions also stiffened and couldn't hold any longer.
They had arduously prepared a large table of food, and no one praised a word.
What's so delicious about those everyday dishes Mrs. Qin made?
Gu Mu had a look of disdain in her eyes but maintained a peaceful façade, "I wonder why you didn't eat the western cuisine I made, and still wanted to make it yourself. It turns out your culinary skills are better, and you looked down on mine, so I must try it."
As she spoke, she was about to come over and help herself.
However, Gu Zhi reached out and moved the dish she wanted to take away, placed a plate of the salad she made over, with a sarcastic smile, "Chairman Gu, Mrs. Gu, please stick to this, with your distinguished tastes, you can't handle my mom's bran."
"You!" Gu Mu was so furious, she almost threw the chopsticks.
"Mom, don't argue with Gu Zhi," Gu Yiyi hurriedly stopped her for fear of a quarrel, turned around to look at Gu Zhi with a very troubled expression, "Zhi Zhi, don't be like this, my mom just wanted to taste it..."
"Don't, my mom isn't your family's nanny." Gu Zhi said coldly, but smiled as if friendly, "You've made so much, do remember to finish it, waste is shameful."
Gu Mu's expression turned extremely ugly.
[Hahahahahahah couldn't handle bran! How does she insult people like this!]
[... Gu Zhi is really uncouth, I'm impressed.]
[Isn't she, clearly Yiyi said she and Gu Ma would handle dinner, yet the Qin Family still cooked for themselves, trying to steal the spotlight, this whole family is annoying!]
[?? How could you blame Mrs. Qin? Go back and see for yourselves if it weren't for what Han Liheng and Ms. Gu said, would the Qin Family have to cook themselves? No one could swallow that!]
[Gu Dad comparing Mrs. Qin to their family's helper, is that polite? I just find it satisfying, Sister Zhi, nice job!]
[The boar couldn't handle bran hahahahaha jeez, I'm dying of laughter]
