As a guest, Wan Lan felt embarrassed that Xu Yun was cooking in person. Although she had a lot of questions about acupuncture that she wanted to ask Yu Meiren, Wan Lan did not leave the kitchen because of her identity as the host. Fortunately, Yu Meiren was more sensible. She stayed in the kitchen with Wan Lan and helped Xu Yun.
Soon, Wan Lan realized that she had made the right choice to stay in the kitchen. Xu Yun's skillful knife skills soon made her realize how much of a failure she was as a woman. She could not cut vegetables as well as a man. If it were not for Xu Yun's lack of familiarity with the structure of the kitchen and where all kinds of oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar seasonings were placed, he would definitely be more skillful than he was now.
Wan Lan soon put the matter of acupuncture behind her and began to ask Xu Yun for advice on the cooking of medicinal cuisine. The dishes that Xu Yun made were fragrant and did not have the smell of medicine at all. It was a world of difference compared to what she made. Did this guy graduate from the New Oriental Culinary School? He was so awesome.
"Aunt Wan, as long as you master the smell of medicine, you can be considered a master of medicinal cuisine." Xu Yun said, "This method is actually very simple. It's not difficult at all. As long as you remember the ratio of the seasonings and the Chinese medicine and the order of adding them, you'll soon master the trick."
Wan Lan nodded in admiration. "Xiao Xu, can you help me write it down in a notebook? I'm old and my brain is always forgetful."
"Of course, it's no trouble at all." Xu Yun knew that he had already convinced Wan Lan. "Aunt Wan, I'll leave you my phone number. If there's anything you don't understand or don't know, just call me. I'll immediately help you solve the problem. I guarantee that you'll become a master chef in the medicinal cuisine industry in less than a month."
"Good, good, good, that's great!" Wan Lan said "good" three times in a row. Her good impression of Xu Yun instantly exploded. Young people nowadays were very impetuous, and Xu Yun made Wan Lan feel that he was a particularly reliable young man.
When Xu Yun took a pen and paper to write down the menu and phone number for Wan Lan, Wan Lan saw that Wan Kuangxiao was not back yet, so she called him. Knowing that Wan Kuangxiao was on his way home, she put all the dishes on the table with the help of Yu Meiren.
About ten minutes later, Xu Yun finished writing the recipe, and Wan Kuangxiao was sent back in a small car.
Wan Kuangxiao pushed the door and entered. His face instantly showed a look of surprise. "Oh, Wan, did you hire a chef today? The smell is different from before. It smells so good. I'm hungry just by smelling it."
The couple's surname was Wan, and they both called each other Wan. Wan Lan said proudly, "Wan, look who's here. Haha, Xiaoyu is here as a guest. She also brought the chef. "
Yu Meiren suddenly felt a little nervous. She wondered what Wan Kuangxiao's expression would be when he saw Xu Yun. She stood up and said helplessly, "Hello, chief."
"Don't be so restrained. Make yourself at home." Wan Kuangxiao's stiff face eased a lot when he arrived home.
Since the chief said he didn't need to be restrained, Xu Yun didn't need to be. He walked out of the dining room without waiting for an introduction. "Hello, chief. It's me."
"…" Although Wan Kuangxiao was Wan Kuangxiao, he was still confused by Xu Yun. Even if he had three brains, he couldn't figure out why Xu Yun suddenly appeared in his house. However, Wan Kuangxiao was Wan Kuangxiao after all. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Why are you here?"
Wan Lan glared at her husband. "Wan, how can you talk like that? You're the chief in the army, but now you're at home. He's a guest."
"Okay, okay, okay. It's my fault." Wan Kuangxiao didn't know what to do with his wife. "I'm just curious. I don't have any other intentions."
"Let's eat first. We'll talk while we eat." Wan Lan ordered. If the dishes were cold, they wouldn't taste so good.
After everyone sat down at the table, Wan Kuangxiao took out a bottle of white wine soaked in various wolfberries and ginseng. He said to Xu Yun, "Since you're at my house, there's no reason not to drink with me."
"I drove. Does that count as a reason?" Xu Yun grinned.
Wan Kuangxiao snorted and took out two wine glasses. "If this little bit of alcohol can make you faint, then you're not a soldier under me, Wan Kuangxiao!"
Xu Yun didn't stand on ceremony. Since the chief said so, how could he not drink? He immediately poured the wine for Wan Kuangxiao and filled his own glass. If he drank too much later, he could ask Lin Ge to pick him up. Moreover, unless Wan Kuangxiao was prepared to drink all the wine in the house, he probably wouldn't be able to make him drunk.
"Come, let's drink as much as we want. This wine is brewed by my family. It's strong, but it's very fragrant. Wang Yi took two boxes of Wuliangye to exchange for a bottle of wine with me, but I couldn't bear to exchange it with him." Wan Kuangxiao said seriously.
Xu Yun picked up the wine glass and touched Wan Kuangxiao's glass with the rim of the glass. Then, he took a sip … Damn! This is too strong! Xu Yun really hadn't drunk such strong wine before. But when it entered his mouth, it was especially soft and smooth. The aftertaste was sweet and fragrant. Good wine, worthy of being called good wine.
"How is it? This wine is good, right? But I can tell you, kid, don't drink too much. Even I can get drunk with this wine. "Wan Kuangxiao said. However, although he said so, after drinking a glass of wine, he still asked Xu Yun to fill it up and drink with him. After the meal, the two drank three glasses each.
After three glasses of strong wine, Xu Yun already felt like he was surrounded by clouds and fog. This wine was really strong! No wonder Wan Kuangxiao was reluctant to exchange wine with Wang Yi. Even if he drank two boxes of Wuliangye, he wouldn't have this feeling of being surrounded by clouds and fog.
Yu Meiren diligently helped Wan Lan clean up the table, and then Wan Lan took her to ask about acupuncture alone.
Wan Kuangxiao and Xu Yun stayed in the living room, watching TV and making a pot of tea.
Neither of them said anything. They just stared at the TV screen and watched the military channel. Once the news mentioned Dongying's provocative behavior, Wan Kuangxiao would scold them with a sullen face.
Half an hour passed, and the military news came to an end. Wan Kuangxiao drank a cup of tea and said lightly to Xu Yun, "Kid, you're good. Your self-control is really good. Why, why are you looking for me? Is it so hard to say? If I don't ask you, are you really not going to say anything? "
Xu Yun smiled embarrassedly. "Chief, to be honest, I really can't say it. Otherwise, I would have told you long ago. You also know that I'm thin-skinned. "
"Well, it's thin-skinned enough." Wan Kuangxiao laughed.
"Chief, look, you're laughing at me again." Xu Yun also grinned, amused by his own evaluation of himself. However, he quickly became serious. "Then if I say it, please don't fall out with me. Let's make it clear first. "
Wan Kuangxiao was stunned. He half-jokingly said, "That depends on what you say to me. If you say that you want to take away all my wine, then I'll definitely fall out with you! Alright, say it. My soldiers aren't so wishy-washy. I'll give you this chance. If you don't say it, then forget it. "
"I want to see someone, but if I want to see this person, I can only go through you." When Xu Yun heard this, he didn't hold back anymore and said bluntly.
Wan Kuangxiao was stunned. "Who?"
