Chapter 737: 737 Please ask Qingyue to be the chef.
Looking into her clear, glossy eyes.
Jin Xun suddenly found it difficult to look away, captivated by her.
“What are you looking at!” Xiao Yuchuan stood in front of Jin Xun, blocking his gaze on his wife. This person…dared to look at Xiao Yuchuan’s wife like that. He clenched his fists inside his sleeves, the urge to hit someone rising.
Su Qingyue could tell that Third Brother was angry, so she calmly said, “Third Brother, Boss Jin is here on official business.”
Xiao Yuchuan knew he couldn’t ruin his wife’s business, so he restrained his impulse.
Besides, he noticed that Jin Xun’s gaze on his wife was filled with disappointment. Since his wife had caught onto this emotion, Jin Xun no longer posed a threat.
Su Qingyue gestured to the eight dishes on the stove, “Alright, I won’t go overboard with the introductions. These eight dishes were created using dried fern.”
Xiao Yuchuan stared at the dishes on the stove, picked up the chopsticks and tried to taste them, “Wife, I never knew your frying skills were so brilliant, and that you could create so many different dishes…”
Tao Meijiao also took up the chopsticks, wanting to taste but feeling shy, “Xiao Yue, can I try some?”
“Feel free.” Su Qingyue gestured for them each to take a pair of chopsticks.
Jin Xun and Xiao Yuchuan both reached for the first dish simultaneously, and Jin Xun’s follower, Ji, quickly called out, “Let our boss try it first!”
“Why should I let him go first? My wife cooked this,” Xiao Yuchuan wasn’t buying it.
“Hey… you!” Ji wanted to say something, but Tao Meijiao interjected, “Although Big Boss Jin does more business than my family, this is my mansion. What does it matter if the guests in my mansion eat first? If Big Boss Jin is unhappy, he can leave.” It would be even better if he left – one less competitor.
Jin Xun understood Tao Meijiao’s intentions, “It doesn’t matter who goes first.”
Xiao Yuchuan grabbed a chopstick-full of dried fern to taste, “It’s so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue!” He took another piece for Su Qingyue, “Wife, would you like to try some too?”
She shook her head, “You all go ahead, I’ve already tried it when I took it off the stove.”
“How does it taste?” Shopkeeper Duan asked, lifting his chopsticks.
Tao Meijiao, Jin Xun, and Xiao Yuchuan initially ate slowly, but their pace picked up as they continued.
“Is it really that amazing…” Shopkeeper Duan also used his chopsticks to take a bite, and was surprised, “It really is delicious! I never thought that dried fern could be made into such a variety of dishes with so many flavors!”
Only he continued to praise the dishes, while the others kept eating more and more without even realizing it. Shopkeeper Duan worried that he might miss out on some, so he grabbed a plate and wolfed it down, not caring about his appearance. Even Tao Meijiao, despite being a lady, couldn’t resist devouring the food.
In no time, the eight dishes were all gone, devoured by the four of them.
Having had their fill, Shopkeeper Duan, Jin Xun, Xiao Yuchuan, and Tao Meijiao all wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs they pulled from their pockets. All except Xiao Yuchuan of course.
Seeing this, Su Qingyue couldn’t help but feel that people in ancient times, regardless of gender, always carried a handkerchief in their pockets.
“Wife of the Xiao Family, I never thought your cooking skills were so good…” Shopkeeper Duan said, “Why don’t you come work as a chef in my Rich Source Tavern? I’ll pay you double the wages.”
“Are you serious? Double the wages?!” Tao Meijiao scoffed, “If Xiao Yue is willing to be a chef at my Rich Source Tavern, I’ll not only pay her but treat her like a goddess.”
