“Are you really planning to marry her off to Sanlang?!” Seeing that Tong Xingda wasn’t joking, Madam Zhang could not help but raise her voice, “In view of her reputation and personality, 1 disagree!”
Tong Xingda snorted, picked up a piece of elbow meat and threw it in his mouth, chewing heartily.
“Dad, all of Qiao Xiaomai’s wheat has been sold, just because she used to make money does not guarantee she’ll continue to do so.” Zhu Hongyun slowly spoke.
Although Qiao Xiaomai had outdone the Tong Family in land cultivation, when it came to overall wealth, the Tong Family definitely had the upper hand.
Based on Tong Sanlang’s status, he could completely marry a girl in town; he didn’t have to necessarily choose Qiao Xiaomai.
Hearing this, Tong Xingda snorted again, but since it was his daughter-in-law, he displayed a bit of patience. He pointed at the meat dishes on the table and said, “Even the top chefs in the Capital City’s ‘Extremely Tasting Residence’ would have to admit defeat in front of this culinary skill.”
Zhu Hongyun paused, Tong Tiehu had made it a habit to visit Capital City every few years and naturally, Tong Xingda had been there several times too.
Seeing the world of Capital City had given him the standards to make such a comparison.
However, her heart sank even more upon hearing this. She said softly, “At the end of the day, she’s just a cook…”
Upon hearing these words, the little patience Tong Xingda had instantly vanished. He snorted coldly, picked up his chopsticks, and helped himself to another piece of braised pork.
This taste was truly good; he had eaten more than ten pieces of fatty meat in a row and hadn’t felt tired of it yet.
Based on the standard of these few dishes, if it was promoted widely in Daqi, he could earn back a golden mountain.
He heard that Qiao Xiaomai had invented something called bean sprouts; she had developed a new type of food nobody else could have thought of in their whole lifetime. In just one month, she had made so many of them. This girl herself was a golden mountain.
Surely, a group of fools.
What did reputation matter? He should first bring home this golden mountain.
“Why are you all making a fuss? Eat,” Tong Tiehu sipped his wine; the pleasant expression on his face disappeared, and his stern demeanor returned.
Madam Qian, Madam Zhang, and Zhu Hongyun all greatly disliked Qiao Xiaomai, and were acting as if they were afraid that Qiao Xiaomai would stick to them. Hah, what a joke.
Qiao Xiaomai might not even consider Tong Sanlang worthy of her.
“I’ll say it again, no more talk about Sanlang and Xiaomai. If anyone brings it up again, get out of the Tong Family.” By the time Tong Tiehu said this, his tone had turned severe. “It just so happens, it’s about time our family separates.”
Once these words came out, the dining table immediately fell silent.
Everyone stopped chewing. These words… were quite harsh.
Separate the family over this matter?
Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?
After mulling it over for a bit, Tong Sanlang continued eating without lifting his head. Tong Xingda frowned but did not speak, he raised his bowl of wine, and drained it in one gulp.
The remaining people all frowned fiercely, the flavor of the food in their mouths greatly diminished.
Qiao Xiaomai had no idea the Tong Family was planning to separate over her. After Tong Sanlang left, she started having lunch with Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami at the table.
Tong Sanlang had left behind a plate of braised pork and an elbow, as well as three bowls of pig trotter soup. Adding the fat intestines and pig ears to the table, there was enough food for the three of them.
Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami did not even lift their heads as they ate, it was too delicious, they had never known meat could taste this good!
“Xiaomai, it’s a waste if you don’t open a restaurant with this skill.” Qiao Changshun cleaned his plate with a steamed bun and spoke between burps.
Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow, “Dad, let’s wait till we harvest the wheat.”
They had three hundred acres of wheat.
They have to enjoy their meals one bite at a time, and wealth was to be gathered bit by bit as well..
