Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Really Knows How to Play Tricks

Cheng Su went to the bakery in town first thing in the morning to order a cake. That’s right, today was Qi Taiguo’s birthday, and she had almost forgotten about it.

In her memory, the original owner of this body that Cheng Su inhabited had also firmly remembered Qi Taiguo’s birthday, and had prepared gifts for him every year, including clothes, shoes, and wallets.

But this year, with her replacing the original owner, it was also the first time she was celebrating Qi Taiguo’s birthday.

After arranging the time to pick up the cake with the bakery, Cheng Su went to the office for a spin, handled half a day’s work, and didn’t forget to tell Ning Ge to have dinner at a small restaurant.

Ning Ge was puzzled, ”Are you two going to watch a movie again?”

”Not really, today is Qi Taiguo’s birthday, and I need to celebrate it for him,” Cheng Su replied with a mysterious look on her face.

”A birthday? Then we should all celebrate together!” Ning Ge sprang up.

”No way, we’re going to have a world for two, third wheelers are not welcome.” Cheng Su crossed her arms.

Ning Ge clicked his tongue, ”Look at you, you already went on a trip before, hasn’t that been enough?”

”You, not married and without a girlfriend, what do you understand? This is called romance. Alright, you keep an eye on things, I’m heading out. I need to go shopping for groceries!” Cheng Su waved her hand.

Ning Ge listlessly raised his hand, watching her leave, feeling rather bitter. Qi Taiguo was way too lucky!

Carrying bags big and small back home, Cheng Su first hid the cake. Fortunately, the weather was chilly now; otherwise, without a fridge to store this cream cake, it surely would have spoiled.

After stowing away the cake, she immediately started preparing dinner.

She and Qi Taiguo had been married for half a year now, yet they hadn’t had a proper Western meal together. Today, she was going to show off her skills.

After thawing the two quality pieces she bought from the market, Cheng Su first made mashed potatoes. She cut the potatoes into small chunks, steamed them until tender, then added them to melted butter and mashed them into a puree with a spoon.

The butter was specially purchased by Cheng Su from a foreign trade store; she also bought a bottle of red wine and wine glasses, aiming for a perfect Western meal.

French fries would have looked better, but due to lack of time, Cheng Su opted for mashed potatoes as the main dish.

With the mashed potatoes ready, she used a large spoon to mold them into an attractive heart shape on a white plate, and placed two rose petals beside it.

With these preparations done, she glanced at the clock. There was still some time before Qi Taiguo usually got home, so she started setting the table and preparing the garnishes for the dishes.

When all of that was ready, she began to fry the steaks. For this steak, she had even gone out of her way to buy a flat griddle pan.

First, she sprinkled a little salt and black pepper over the steaks. Once the pan was hot, she added oil and placed the steaks in. She fried them over medium-low heat, flipping them every two minutes. After about ten minutes, the steaks reached a medium-rare doneness.

Chunhua, who came to cook, was astonished to see Cheng Su’s exquisite dinner and even more impressed when she found out it was Western cuisine.

”You really know how to do everything, even Western food—that’s usually seen on TV or in big cities. Cheng Su, you’re so good at coming up with ideas!” Chunhua eyed the beautifully seared steaks and couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

She really wanted to try it!

Cheng Su just smiled modestly and hurried with the steaks back to her room as she was running out of time. Then she quickly washed her face and changed clothes.

Once she got herself dolled up, the door rang just in time, and Qi Taiguo’s voice came from outside, ”Susu, are you in there? Why is the door locked?”
