I Got The Gourmet Check-in System Right After My Flash Wedding - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Stunning Taste, Indeed Capable

The sweet lunch was soon done.

There was still soup in the pot. Xu Mo said, “Bring the dishes out first. I’ll make egg fried rice.”

His mother-in-law came over and hadn’t eaten. It was his bestseller at the moment.

It was also his way of making a living. He had to show his strength.

Xu Nanjin nodded and left happily.

Xiao Ke was drawing cards. “Why haven’t I found a pair yet? Am I going to lose again?”

Fan Suwan said unhurriedly, “Take your time. Grandma has already seen it.”

“Where? I can’t see.”

Xiao Ke turned the cards over in her hand and finally found it.

She called out happily, ‘I’ve found it. I’ve got another pair.’

Xu Nanjin placed the dishes on the table. Smelling the fragrance of the dishes, she said, “Let’s eat after this round.”

Xiao Ke held up her cards and said in her baby voice, “I’ll eat when I win.”

She smiled, knowing her mother would let her daughter win.

Xu Mo turned on the fire and prepared to make egg fried rice.

He had already made a thousand pieces, and he was already extremely skilled at this set of movements.

Pour oil, fry the eggs, put the ingredients in. All in one go.

The fragrance overflowed the kitchen and Fan Suwan could not help but take a deep breath.

She wondered what he had cooked that smelled so good.

Xiao Ke seemed to be used to the smell and showed no expression.

Xu Mo quickly finished frying a piece of egg fried rice and brought it to the table.

Fan Suwan turned around. The source of the fragrance was egg fried rice.

Unexpectedly, this ordinary egg fried rice smelled even better than other dishes.

She hadn’t been hungry, but now she suddenly felt hungry.

So she sped up and put down her cards. “Xiao Ke is really impressive. She won against Grandma.”

Xiao Ke giggled. “I won. Let’s go eat.”

Taking Granny’s hand, she walked to the kitchen table.

Xu Mo greeted her warmly, “Auntie, please sit down!

“This is my egg fried rice. Please try it.”

“Sure, I’ll try it.”

Fan Suwan did not stand on ceremony. This was her son-in-law’s specialty. She had to taste it.

She was presented with a bowl of yellow egg fried rice. It was granular and fragrant.

At first glance, it already looked delicious. She wondered how it tasted.

She picked up her spoon, gently putting a mouthful into her mouth.

The rice danced on the tip of her tongue with the scent of egg yolk and ingredients.

The fragrance made her want to eat it quickly and take another bite.

However, she wanted to savor this delicacy carefully and chew it slowly.

No wonder he was confident he could make so much money. The taste was so good. He definitely had the capital.

After three bites, she put down her spoon and praised him. “It’s really well done. I hope you get what you want.”

Xu Mo smiled and said, “Thank you. There are other dishes for you to try too.”

Although he had yet to obtain the secret manual for the other dishes, and they were not very good, this was all a token of his appreciation. Besides, they did not look bad.

Fan Suwan nodded and tried two dishes.

These dishes didn’t look as stunning as the Egg Fried Rice. They were just ordinary home-cooked dishes.

She knew about Xu Mo’s basic situation. He was an only child and his conditions were not too bad.

He was willing to do housework and treated her daughter well. He also said that he would take responsibility and let them have a good life.

However bad an impression she’d had of him before, it had been reversed by at least half.

The other half was naturally because he did not know how to appreciate her kindness. He should have married into the family immediately after hearing her offer.

She owned many properties and didn’t live with them, so she wouldn’t mistreat him. He even said that he wanted to rely on himself.

Her heart clenched at the thought of her daughter suffering with him.

The meal was quite harmonious, and the conversation became more and more congenial.

Xiao Ke was sleepy in the afternoon. Fan Suwan said that she wanted to rest with her here, so she brought Xiao Ke in to take a nap.

They sat in the living room, watching a boring TV show.

Xu Nanjin said, “You still have to work tonight. Go and sleep for a while.”

She remembered that Xu Mo had slept for so long yesterday. He should have to take an afternoon nap every day.

Xu Mo said, “What about you? Are you tired?”

She texted him so late last night. She must have been up early in the morning. She must be tired too.

Xu Nanjin was a little conflicted. She had indeed not slept well last night.

After sending the last text, she put the phone away.

It had been difficult to sleep recently, and looking at her phone had affected her sleep even more. Unfortunately, it took her a long time to fall asleep. She was woken up by Xiao Ke in the morning, so she was a little sleepy now.

But there were only two beds at home. Did she have to sleep with Xu Mo?

They had never known each other well and were still getting to know each other.

Although Xu Mo was someone she liked and was Xiao Ke’s father, he was still a stranger to her.

Lying in the same bed with him was temporarily unacceptable.

She whispered, “I’m fine. Go get some rest.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she yawned and was exposed.

She covered her mouth with her hand and said awkwardly, “This TV show is a little boring. I’ll see something else.”

She casually switched a few channels and realized that they were all quite boring.

She had no choice but to open the news channel. At least it was all new.

Xu Mo said, “Go to my room and sleep. There’s a camp bed in the guest room. I’ll just sleep for a while.”

“But…”

“No buts. I had a good night’s sleep. And I’m pretty energetic.”

Xu Mo stood up and pulled her into the room.

Actually, it would be good if he could sleep with his wife now, but the time wasn’t right yet.

It used to be too fast. It ended without any preparation.

Now they had to take their time and let each other seep into their lives.

The things in the room were relatively simple. When Xu Mo got up, he had already folded the blanket and everything looked neat.

Living alone, one could be lazy, but not sloppy.

To Xu Mo, not cooking was the laziest thing.

He said, “Just rest. I’m going out early today.”

Then, he took out his phone and said, “Someone has an appointment with me. If everything goes well, I’ll have an assistant tonight.”

Because it was mainly a night market, Xu Mo asked the candidate to come back after five.

It was barely two o’clock. He had plenty of time.

Xu Nanjin looked at the bed and wanted to fall into it. Her eyes could no longer hold on. She said, “Then wake me up when you go out. I’ll sleep for an hour.”

“You can sleep as long as you want. Come over and help if you want. Stay home if you’re tired.”

“How can I? What if you don’t find anyone today? You can’t do it alone.”

Xu Nanjin perked up and said, “A good life requires us to work hard together. Although I don’t know much now, I’ll try.”

Xu Mo looked at her stubborn expression and sighed. How could she be so cute!

Thinking of how persistent she had been previously, he smiled and said, “Alright then. If you’re not awake when I leave, you can come over yourself.”

“We can do this together!”

Xu Nanjin smiled. This was what she wanted to hear.

She nodded. “Okay,” she said, blushing slightly. “But I want you to wake me up. No slipping away.”
