Chapter 903 Cooking for Song Qianyingzi
Qiao Yingzi really likes science fiction knowledge such as astronomy, geography, etc.
Su Mingzhe had only heard this story dozens of times when he traveled through time, and he was already extremely annoyed.
However, Qiao Yingzi never gets tired of explaining to others over and over again, and her emotions are particularly rich every time she explains.
When Su Mingzhe followed Qiao Yingzi to participate in the election, he noticed this and suddenly felt distressed:
"Perhaps, I should help Qiao Yingzi realize her dream!"
At noon.
After Qiao Yingzi finished the campaign, she wanted to have lunch with Su Mingzhe and talk about getting her parents remarried. But she received a call from Song Qian asking her to go home for lunch. She then reluctantly said to Su Mingzhe:
"My mother asked me to go home for dinner..."
Su Mingzhe raised his eyebrows:
"How about taking me with you?"
"Well... that's fine, but what's the reason?"
Qiao Yingzi often brings classmates home, such as Huang Zhitao, Wang Yidi, Fang Yifan, etc., but she never thought about what Song Qian would say if she brought Su Mingzhe back.
Just for what reason?
“Let’s rent a house!”
Su Mingzhe gave a reason:
"I live in the North Third Ring Road, which is a bit far from the school. I know you have a vacant house, so I want to rent your house!"
"That's a good reason! But do you really want to rent a house? The rent is not cheap..."
Qiao Yingzi was a little hesitant, but she knew that her house was a place for her child to accompany his high school student, and the rent would be about 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year.
"Of course it's true!"
Su Mingzhe just went to Panjiayuan yesterday and earned 300,000 yuan. Isn’t it easy to rent a house?
Seeing Qiao Yingzi's disbelieving expression, Su Mingzhe immediately said seriously:
"Yingzi, actually, I have wanted to move to Shuxiang Yayuan for a long time."
Qiao Yingzi's face turned slightly red, and she asked shyly:
"why?"
Su Mingzhe smiled and said:
"It's very simple. I want to move over as soon as possible and build a good relationship with your mother in advance, so as to avoid the same thing as in the last life, where it took a long time for your mother to accept me as her son-in-law!"
When Qiao Yingzi heard the man say this, a blush appeared on her fair face and she said nothing more.
Soon, Su Mingzhe rode an electric scooter and took Qiao Yingzi back to Shuxiang Yayuan.
When Song Qian saw her daughter bringing back a strange classmate, she still greeted him politely and asked:
"Yingzi, is this your classmate?"
"Mom, this is my classmate Su Mingzhe. He has excellent academic performance. He wants to rent a house in Shuxiang Yayuan. I thought, we still have a vacant house, so it doesn't matter who I rent it to. I can rent it to my classmate, and he can also help me with my studies!"
At this time, Qiao Yingzi was already possessed by the "love saint". In just a few words, she clearly revealed her affection for Su Mingzhe.
"Hello, aunt!"
At this time, Su Mingzhe pretended to be a pretty boy with a shy smile on his face, and said with a simple smile:
"Auntie, Yingzi and I have our own strengths and weaknesses in several subjects. I hope we can improve together after moving here!"
Song Qian felt strange after listening to what her daughter and Su Mingzhe said.
But for a moment, she didn't think of anything else, just habitually asked reservedly:
"Auntie's house does have an empty room. Yingzi, you kid, your classmates are coming, but you didn't even tell your mother in advance!"
Song Qian has been a teacher for nearly 20 years and is confident that she has a good grasp of her students' psychology. She smiled and asked Su Mingzhe to come in and take a seat. She poured him some water and asked about his condition:
For example, what do your parents do for a living? How many people are there in your family? Where do you live? Why are you renting a house by yourself?
Facing Song Qian's questions, Su Mingzhe answered them one by one. After a while, in the question-and-answer session, Su Mingzhe talked about his family situation.
When Song Qian found out that Su Mingzhe was left alone in the country and his only relative, his mother, was far away in the United States, she immediately apologized.
"It's okay, Auntie. I've been a left-behind child since I was young. I don't have any parents around me. My grandparents raised me!"
Without waiting for Song Qian to ask more, Su Mingzhe packaged the history of the Su family again:
[Su Mingzhe's great-grandfather was an excellent cook. During the Tongzhi period, he was recruited by the imperial kitchen to work as an imperial chef.
When Emperor Gaozu passed away, it was during the Reform Movement of 1898. My great-grandfather followed Emperor Gaozu's instructions and carried the coffin back to his hometown.
However, during the Republic of China period, wars and plagues continued to hit Su's hometown, and my great-grandfather's wife and children were all gone.
In the 20th year of the Republic of China, my great-grandfather, who was in his 50s, ran back to Yanjing alone to live with distant relatives and re-established a new family.
When Su Mingzhe's grandfather was born, the Japanese invaders had just invaded the Central Plains.
Su Mingzhe's father did not receive much education and did not learn the ancestral cooking skills well. In the early 1990s, he went abroad to work as a chef.
After Su Mingzhe was born, he was raised by his grandparents and learned the culinary skills of his ancestors' imperial chefs since he was a child.
According to my late grandfather, Su Mingzhe is gifted and has surpassed his master. He is no less talented than the top chefs at state banquets. 】
Song Qian was somewhat skeptical after hearing the family background Su Mingzhe fabricated.
However, as an adult, Song Qian would not directly expose other people's "bullishness". She could only laugh and casually say:
"Student Xiao Su, I didn't expect your family is a royal chef family. If there is a chance, I want to see your cooking skills."
"Auntie, today is worse than tomorrow. I came here unexpectedly today and didn't bring any gifts. Why don't I make lunch?"
Su Mingzhe was flattering himself just waiting for Song Qian's "courtesy".
Song Qian wanted to refuse, but Su Mingzhe said:
"Aunt Song, I have had two dreams since I was a child. One is to inherit the 'imperial cooking skills' passed down from my ancestors, and the other is to inherit Chinese medicine and save the world. My Chinese medicine ability is still in the stage of self-exploration, so I can't show it off. However, my cooking skills have long been recognized by my grandfather."
"Xiao Su, you come to my house and you are a guest. How can I let you cook?"
Song Qian was really embarrassed to ask Su Mingzhe, a guest who was visiting her home for the first time, to go to the kitchen to cook for her.
Su Mingzhe, however, was stubborn. Without waiting for Song Qian's consent, he picked up the apron at the kitchen door and put it on himself, then began to check the ingredients in the kitchen.
At this point, Song Qian couldn't stop her and could only look at Qiao Yingzi to let her speak.
But she didn't expect that Qiao Yingzi was also very interested in Su Mingzhe's cooking skills.
After all, this is her future husband, and she also wants to know whether she will be able to enjoy good food for the rest of her life.
Seeing her daughter's curious and excited look, Song Qian knew that she could not rely on her, so she could only go into the kitchen and help Su Mingzhe prepare the ingredients.
When Song Qian entered the kitchen, she saw Su Mingzhe wielding the knife. His movements were so fast that they left afterimages. He quickly processed the ingredients into even thicknesses and lengths.
At this point, Song Qian took a deep breath and realized that she might have underestimated this classmate Su.
Su Mingzhe worked as if no one was around. He did not assign any work to Song Qian, but did it by himself, and finished preparing the ingredients in three to five minutes.
Then both stoves were lit, and Su Mingzhe stir-fried the food with skillful movements.
Soon, plates of delicious home-cooked dishes came out.
Su Mingzhe then smiled innocently:
"Auntie, Yingzi, come and try my cooking..."
