"Auntie, how is the dinner tonight? Is it done?"

Hearing Zhang Dongsheng's words, Aunt Feng waved her hands in embarrassment.

"Sir, I didn't know you wanted to eat so early. Didn't you always have dinner after 7 o'clock in the past?

I just finished cleaning up the kitchen and haven’t had time to start the fire yet.”

Seeing that Aunt Feng seemed a little embarrassed, Zhang Dongsheng quickly waved his hand.

"That's not what I meant. If you haven't done anything yet, how about you rest first and I'll make the dinner today?"

Aunt Feng was slightly stunned when she heard what Zhang Dongsheng meant. She had been a nanny for so many years and had been to many homes. She had never seen a house where the man was willing to cook in person.

I have seen the hostess cook before.

"Ah, sir..."

"It's time to buy groceries, so I just want to learn how to cook.

How about you teach me next to me?"

Okay, Zhang Dongsheng said so, Aunt Feng is naturally fine.

The two of them entered the kitchen together and first introduced Zhang Dongsheng to the use of the stove.

This is completely different from the gas stove in Zhang Dongsheng's memory.

Although the use of liquefied gas has been implemented in Beijing in the 1980s, it is actually not easy to popularize it, at least it has not reached that level in Jiangcheng.

Currently, the kitchen in Zhang Dongsheng’s home still uses briquettes as fuel.

Therefore, it may be more difficult to control the heat. After all, there is no valve for you to adjust.

But that's basically what it's about, and it doesn't look very difficult.

Aunt Feng briefly introduced the locations of various seasonings, and then under her worried eyes, Zhang Dongsheng started his first try.

It may not be difficult to cook in Zhang Dongsheng, as long as it is cooked and the seasonings are correct.

Then it won't be too unpalatable, but it won't be delicious either.

After listening to Aunt Feng's simple explanation, his eyes and brain clearly told him that I know it.

But when I really got started, my hand said a very classic saying: You can do it!

When I poured the oil into the pot, blue smoke started to come out before I could cut the green onions. I threw the green onions into it hurriedly. In an instant, the green onions turned into a burnt black color, and it looked as if they were not.

So delicious.

The first time he cooked, Zhang Dongsheng was really in a hurry. Fortunately, he knew how to cut the potatoes into shreds first. Although the thick ones were as thick as a big finger, the small ones were not much thinner than chopsticks.

But at least it was cut out. Now it was finally lowered into the pot smoothly and started to stir-fry with a spatula.

As you continue to stir-fry, the oil in the pot no longer smokes, and gradually acquires the aroma of shredded potatoes.

"Hehe, it's nothing more than that!"

Zhang Dongsheng had a confident smile on his face, feeling that he had mastered the secret of cooking.

Boiled two red peppers and put them in, and then continued to stir-fry. According to Aunt Feng, adding thirteen spices and refined salt made the taste stronger.

Aunt Feng, who had been kicked out of the kitchen by Zhang Dongsheng, had been restless in the living room, wondering what Zhang Dongsheng could achieve in his first stir-fry.

When I smell this smell, I feel a little like it. Although it has a bit of burnt taste, it should at least be edible.

On the other side, Zhang Dongsheng used a chopstick to gently pick up the shredded potatoes in the pot and tasted it. It seemed to have no taste.

After thinking about it, I added a little salt, stir-fried it twice, and tasted it again. It seemed that there was still no taste.

So I added a little more salt, and even made it a little longer before adding it in order to avoid any weird tricks.

It's indeed salt, salty!

Try to control the fire as low as possible and stir-fry constantly for about ten minutes.

After the thickest potato strip was cooked, Zhang Dongsheng added MSG before taking it out of the pot.

Overall, the appearance is pretty good, ignoring the dark green onions and the extremely uneven knife work.

At least this thing can be called fried potato shreds, you can't call it anything else.

"Come on, come on, it's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

When the first dish he cooked was brought to the table, Zhang Dongsheng was as happy as a child. Anyway, this was his first time, and the smell was very appetizing.

Of course, just a plate of fried shredded potatoes is not enough for four people to eat.

Taking advantage of Zhang Dongsheng's showing off, Aunt Feng went to the canteen and cooked two more side dishes.

I fried a dried radish, stewed some dried beans that I had soaked at noon, and added the meat Zhang Dongsheng bought just now. It tasted very good.

At the dinner table, Zhang Dongsheng placed the plate of fried potato shreds in his mouth and strongly recommended it to Xin Hui and Aunt Feng.

"Try it, try it, you two, try it. How do you like this dish of mine?"

Before serving it to others, Zhang Dongsheng took a bite himself. Perhaps it was luck, but after eating this dish, it actually tasted really good.

That's why he behaved like this. After all, he had some confidence.

Unable to resist the hospitality, Xinhui added a piece of shredded potato and put it in his mouth.

After tasting it carefully, he gave a thumbs up without hesitation! But Zhang Dongsheng didn't pay attention, and he ate a little faster.

On the other side, before Aunt Feng even moved her chopsticks, Xiaobao couldn't help but take a bite.

But as soon as I put it in my mouth, I spit it out!

"Uncle Zhang, the dish you cooked is really too salty! Don't you pay for the salt?"

"ah?"

Children cannot lie. Zhang Dongsheng was a little embarrassed to be criticized so directly by Xiaobao.

Aunt Feng also took a bite from the other side, and then took another bite from the other side.

Only then did Zhang Dongsheng give his evaluation under the nervous gaze.

"Sir, your cooking is pretty good overall. Except for the knife skills, there are some problems, but this also needs practice.

The biggest problem is that I added too much salt and didn't stir-fry evenly.

If you try it yourself a few times, you will find that some places are bland and some places are really too salty."

"Ah? Let me take a look."

After hearing Aunt Feng's comment, Zhang Dongsheng quickly tasted a few more bites himself.

Sure enough, just like Aunt Feng said, some places have no taste, and some places are really salty.

Fortunately, after stirring it, it doesn't seem to be particularly unpalatable, and it can still be swallowed.

Although it was not a great success, it was not a failure either. Zhang Dongsheng still felt a faint sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Anyway, others barely took a few bites of this plate of food. Zhang Dongsheng was in a good mood and ate it all by himself.
Chapter completed!
