But Master Yun was a very easygoing person and good at chatting. He spoke of land and properties with Eldest Uncle and Ms. Fang, so that both of them felt interested in speaking with Master Yun.
Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun were friendly, and Cang was a very lively and smiling boy with a sweet tongue.
They soon got on well with each other.
The family had no idea that Master Yun actually was Shao Yunduan’s teacher. But Shao Sanlang and Qiao Xuan did.
So when the teacher was here, he should be treated well.
Qiao Xuan decided to cook the dinner personally.
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni gave her a hand.
They made steamed smoked meat, sausage and a smoked fish platter. They killed a chicken and stewed it with the most delicious and rare mountain mushrooms. They also made steamed pork belly with powder, braised soft-shelled turtle, stir-fried eel with ginger, onion and garlic, steamed mandarin fish, minced meat tofu, stir-fried yam, stir-fry shredded bamboo shoots of tea tree mushrooms, as well as a garlic-fried cabbage.
As each dish was cooked and served, Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni were both very proficient with Qiao Xuan’s pace. But Aunt Yun was shocked.
She was quite good at cooking and expected to make the dishes here. It turned out that she did not need to do a thing.
At first, Aunt Yun saw Ms. Xu, Yang Xiaoni happily washing, chopping, cleaning the pot, and lighting the fire, while Qiao Xuan was watching from the side. Moreover, they still wanted to ask Qiao Xuan about everything, such as how to cut the vegetables, and other things.
This made Aunt Yun even more puzzled.
But Qiao Xuan was better at cooking the actual dishes.
The dishes were far superior to the ones made by hers.
When the dinner was served, Master Yun ate with everyone from the first section of the family. Aunt Yun and Uncle Yun as well as Cang were not at the table, but they got some portions from each dish and ate at the small, square desk in the kitchen.
Qiao Xuan said to them, “Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun, just eat the food. My husband is attending Master Yun!”
Master Yun was not a particular man. So, both Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun nodded and accepted the offer.
Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle invited Master Yun to take the seat.
Master Yun could not help but sigh seeing the table filled with dishes. “This is such a waste of food! Only a dish of smoked sausage, vegetables and tofu should be enough. It must have cost a lot!”
Ms. Fang smiled. “It’s very nice of you to say so! These fish were all caught in the river and kept in the pond in the backyard of our house for free. This chicken is also raised at home. We have a lot of chickens at home! I also made a lot of sausages and smoked meat, about 100 kgs. You would never be able to finish it!”
“My daughter-in-law, Ms. Qiao cooked this meal. She is really good at making food. Try it please!”
The whole family asked Master Yun to take the seat.
Master Yun was surprised. He had thought that his servant, Aunt Yun made all this. So, it was not her?
But hearing what Ms. Fang said, he felt relaxed and smiled. “Okay, okay I will try everything! You are living a great life here. How wonderful!”
Ms. Fang was proud. “Yeah. My sons and daughters-in-law are all very capable people!”
Master Yun nodded with a smile. “Yeah. I agree!”
“Yeah!” Ms. Fang felt even prouder.
Ms. Fang was very easy to get on well with. She was very straightforward.
Qiao Xuan cooked for Master Yun every day. She tried her best to serve Master Yun some good dishes..
