A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 265 Deliberately Making Difficulties (Part Two)

Hearing that, Essie was a little stunned. Without knowing what she meant, she shook her head and said frankly, "No."

Mary sneered in her heart. She knew Essie wouldn't cook. Although she was born in a middle class family, she was the only child of the family. Her parents loved her very much and rarely let her cook in the kitchen. Mary pretended to sigh. "Then it will be difficult. In our Rong's family, our new daughter-in- law will have to hold a family dinner personally." After a pause, she turned the tone of the voice, "it doesn't matter, you can do as you like. After all, it's a family rule, and you can't violate."

"Mommy, you don't even know how to fry eggs. How did you pass this test?" When Zac was a child, he was often punished to copy the family rules. He had been passive to remember, but there was no such one inside.

Mary's face slightly turned blue, but her tone was still slow and unhurried. She was good at hiding a secret. She was always gentle and quiet, and rarely got angry in words unless she was showing her power. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"I made a new deal about it. As the hostess of the Rong family, I have the right to make new family rules. We have been married to the daughters of the rich families before, so they don't have to undergo this test. Now that you, from a ordinary family, have married into this family, the rules should change. Then everyone will see the advantages of you ordinary people and will no longer have objection. " It sounded reasonable. She said that all because she was worried about Essie, but in fact, she was creating difficulties for her.

How could Zac not know it? "Mommy, I remember there is a rule in our family: the perpetrator should be the first to make an example. Why don't you host a family dinner first to give us an example?"

"Now it's not the time for you to protect your wife. You'd better take this opportunity to impress grandpa and grandma." Mary was such a sweet talker.

"It doesn't matter, Zac. Mommy has her reason to ask me to do it. Tell me grandpa and grandma's preferences and tastes, and I'll try to cook several dishes. If I don't know how to cook, I can check the menu." Essie said respectfully. Then she went into the kitchen.

While they were talking, Alena just came out of the room and listened to them roughly. She frowned slightly and turned around to walk into the room.

Mary asked all the servants and cooks not to help Essie, including washing vegetables, cutting vegetables and cooking.

Essie was a daughter of both her parents, and Bob and Lucy loved her very much. They never let her do any housework. However, her family was actually opening a restaurant. Her ancestors were also the Royal chef, and they were all good at cooking. In order to win favor of the Bob's family, Essie would go to the restaurant to help after school. And she also learned something from the chefs there.

Zac also knew that Essie could cook. But family feasts were different, and the number and dishes were required to be very high. In general, ten dishes were served at each table of the Rong family and the dishes must be perfect. And in the dishes, vegetables should match well. They couldn't lack seafood, meat, or other things.

Zac wanted to help. but Essie thought that he cut his finger and hurt his arms when cooking the braised noodles. She tried to let him out of the kitchen, "you'd better be a quiet handsome man enjoying the scenery aside. Don't do anything. Just leave it to me."

"Slow down. Take your time. Don't cut yourself." She was just a little fool, so it was normal for her to be hurt by accident. He was very worried about her when he saw her holding a knife.

"Okay, I will be fine." With a soft smile, Essie went to the kitchen to pick up the food.

The senior members of the Rong family had the same taste as that of Zac. They preferred light food with natural taste. However, since they couldn't eat food with high protein, Essie had to select carefully.

By noon, she finally finished a family feast.

Zac went upstairs to invite his grandparents for dinner. "Your granddaughter-in-law made ten dishes, three main dishes, and even washed and cut by herself. She didn't ask a servant to help." His wife had been busy for the whole morning, so of course he had to ask for rewards in front of them.

After everyone was seated, Essie asked the servant to serve the soup.

At the first sight of the soup, Mary said, "Essie, the soup is too greasy. It is not good for the health of grandparents."

Hearing that, Essie smiled and said, "Mommy, don't worry. I've shaved off all the fat on the big bones, leaving only the flesh. When I stewed slowly with a little fire, I also took off a layer of oil on the top of it, so there won't be too much fat. What's more, I have chosen a whole piece of bones which are full of bone marrow. The bone marrow can increase calcium, which is good for the bones."

Abel tasted it and nodded, "fresh but not greasy, and there's a fresh flavor of Holley. It's very good."

"Our family finally has a daughter-in-law with superb cooking skills." Alena smiled and cast a glance at her daughter-in-law, "Mary, you just added this family rule, so I think every dauther-in-law of our family should take Essie as the example for the future. If they can't perform well in the family banquet, they can't marry into our family."

Hearing this, Mary's face turned a little pale. She knew that Alena was actually blaming her, although she said she was joking.
