Chapter 580: Tasting

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the first time, Gu Zi heard her sister-in-law rebuke someone, striking right at the heart of the matter. Lin Hun and Gui Hua, weren’t they sworn enemies?

She was truly daring to matchmake them! “The past is the past, I don’t dwell on it. Mother, sister-in-law, there’s no need to worry. However, it’s natural for men to marry and women to wed. Gui Hua, isn’t it time you found a man? Lin Hun is indeed single.”

Upon hearing Lin Hun’s name, Gui Hua rolled her eyes. “Nonsense! Your family really knows how to bully people. If you don’t want to introduce us, then don’t. Why would you try to pair me with Lin Hun? Let me tell you, even if all the men in the world were gone, I, Gui Hua, would not settle for him!”

Seeing that her daughter was truly unharmed, An Yun felt relieved. She turned and entered the kitchen, planning to wash dishes with Aunt Yang, not participating in the young people’s conversation.

Hearing Gui Hua’s oath, Gu Zi and Li Hua didn’t dare to tease her further. The three quickly changed the topic.

In the city, Gong Zhan returned home with gift boxes, planning to visit friends the next day.

However, recalling the cold reception he received in the small town earlier that day, Gong Zhan was still quite angry. He hastily put down the gift boxes and went upstairs to take a bath, hoping to wash away the bad luck.

After he left, Gong Xin returned home with Mrs. Chen after a shopping trip. With the New Year approaching, they had been busy buying supplies and were exhausted. As soon as they arrived home, they both collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move.

After sitting for a while, Gong Xin’s fatigue began to fade. She faintly smelled the aroma of braised meat and quickly locked her gaze on the pile of gift boxes on the table.

Gong Xin noticed a transparent bag filled with braised meat among the boxes. It seemed to be a sample box, and the meat inside looked tantalizing. It seemed to be beckoning her, inviting her to taste it.

Without any hesitation, she took the bag, opened it, and the aroma of the braised meat hit her. She swallowed, picked up a piece of meat with a toothpick, and began to eat. One bite after another, she couldn’t stop. After eating six or seven pieces, she exclaimed, “Mom, this braised meat is delicious! Where did you buy it? Did you buy all of it to give as gifts? Aren’t we keeping any for ourselves?”

Mrs. Chen was puzzled, but she had seen her son’s shoes when she entered the house. She said, “I didn’t buy this. It must be your brother’s gift. Is it really that good?”

Mrs. Chen was also a bit hungry, so she leaned over and took a bite. She immediately stopped talking and started to eat more.

Seeing her mother conquered by the taste of the braised meat, Gong Xin teased, “Mom, isn’t it amazing? This braised meat is incredible. I could eat two pounds by myself!”

“I read in the newspaper a while ago that Gu Zi also opened a braised meat shop in town. I bet her shop’s braised meat isn’t as good as this. I need to ask my brother. Maybe we can give Gu Zi a message to improve her recipe.”

Gong Zhan came downstairs after his bath, just in time to hear his mother and sister’s conversation. His handsome face was full of disdain. The two women in his family, one a commander’s wife and the other a young lady, had seen so little of the world. It gave him a headache. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

He spoke coldly, “This is from Gu Zi’s shop. A young lady from a prestigious family, now showing her face in public. I don’t know what she’s thinking.

“Anyway, if it weren’t for the leaders wanting to eat it, I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to buy it from such a place. You two are overreacting. Haven’t you ever eaten braised meat before?”

Gong Zhan mercilessly teased his mother and sister, then sat down on the single sofa opposite them, casually picking up a newspaper to read.

Gong Xin quickly moved closer, and before Gong Zhan could react, she stuffed a piece of braised meat into his mouth. Her eyes were fixed on him. “Brother, chew it a few times. Let’s see if you’ll still be so stubborn.”

Mrs. Chen wanted to stop her but it was too late. Seeing her son with meat in his mouth, she almost laughed.

At that moment, Gong Zhan wanted to throw his sister out, but the rich flavor of the braised meat in his mouth made him unconsciously follow his sister’s instructions. He began to chew, the aroma filling his mouth. The tender meat rubbed against his teeth, saliva constantly secreting from his mouth. The meat was fatty but not greasy, perfectly salty and fragrant. He quickly swallowed the small piece of meat and wanted a second bite.

He found it unbelievable. Gu Zi’s cooking had always been delicious, and she could make braised meat, but she could never make braised meat with this kind of flavor. Why did he always feel that his understanding of Gu Zi was far from enough?
