Chapter 204 Is there anything I can help with?
This time when she went to the city, Shen Xiangwan bought five more cooks, one of whom was given to the Yan family, and the remaining four were all sent to the canteen. In addition, she also bought a few maids and let Mu Yunran take them back directly. She was the mistress of the Yan family, so she should know how to distribute the tasks. Shen Xiangwan was not so idle as to interfere in other people's family affairs.
"Wanwan hasn't come back yet?"
At noon, when Wei Chengyi took Qingying downstairs, he did not see Shen Xiangwan, and he could not help but frowned.
"Wanwan is in the kitchen."
Others could not hear his almost whispered question, but Yun Mengyi heard it clearly and could not help but sigh in his heart that a man who had never cared about anything except fighting would one day become so gentle and considerate, thinking about his wife all the time.
"Ah."
Nodding, Wei Chengyi turned on his heel and walked towards the kitchen.
Looking at his tall figure, Yun Mengyi and Zhao Yuping smiled at each other. As elders, they were sincerely happy to see that the young couple had such a good relationship.
In the kitchen, Shen Xiangwan was busy in full swing. Today, she took out a slaughtered fat pig from the space and only left some offal, a slab of pork ribs and two pieces of pork belly. The rest were all sent to the cafeteria, ready for everyone to have a feast. She planned to make steamed pork intestines with rice flour, garlic spare ribs and braised pork.
The Yan family is still having dinner with them today, and these few dishes are definitely not enough. There is a cook, so she has prepared all the dishes she originally prepared.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, the light in the kitchen seemed to have dimmed a lot. Shen Xiangwan, who was cooking, turned her head and saw Wei Chengyi's tall body blocking the door, almost blocking most of the light. A smile broke out on his delicate and bright face: "Why are you here? Are you done with your work?"
"Is there anything I can help with?"
Shaking his head, Wei Chengyi stepped into the kitchen. Watching her busying around in the sweat, he felt not only pity but also deep emotion in his heart. The word "home" immediately took on a concrete image in his mind.
"I have something to tell my husband, Brother Yi, how about you help Wanwan light the fire?"
Looking back and forth at them, Mu Yunran stood up very tactfully.
"Ah."
Wei Chengyi walked over without changing his expression. Mu Yunran didn't forget to wink at Shen Xiangwan before leaving, which made her a little bit amused. Isn't it just helping to light the fire? Why did they make it look like they were going to do something in the kitchen? Didn't they see the cook busy at the stove on the other side?
"Don't use too big a fire, it's almost ready."
Shaking his head, Shen Xiangwan put down the spatula and leaned against the stove. The pot was filled with braised pork, which he just needed to simmer over low heat for a while.
"Don't cook for yourself anymore."
Seeing her face covered in sweat, Wei Chengyi said with concern.
“I only cook two or three dishes.”
Seeing through his thoughts at a glance, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh. It's just cooking, what's there to be sad about?
"Did you encounter anything interesting when you went to the county town today?"
After staring at her deeply for a while, Wei Chengyi reluctantly changed the subject. The little rascal was good in every way, but sometimes she was too careless, which made him feel like he was making a big deal out of nothing.
"Have."
Speaking of this, Shen Xiangwan's eyes lit up, and she walked over and squatted in front of him and said, "Do you remember the beauty we met at the dental clinic last time? Her name is Yue Ruyan, and she is the owner of Huanxi Building. She has a very straightforward personality, and I like her very much. Unfortunately, she seems to care about her identity and is afraid that it will implicate me. Otherwise, we should be able to become friends."
She really thought Yue Ruyan was great and wanted to make friends with her. "Huanxi Tower?"
Hearing this, Wei Chengyi frowned slightly. This name didn't sound like a serious place. However, he wasn't a pedantic person. Seeing that his wife seemed very happy to meet Yue Ruyan, his frown slowly relaxed: "Do whatever you want to do. Don't force yourself. I don't care what others think or say."
It was rare that she wanted to make friends, so he was naturally happy to see it happen. As for Yue Ruyan's identity, it didn't matter!
"Ah."
She knew that her man was not that kind of pedantic person.
Shen Xiangwan smiled brightly and couldn't help but lean over and kiss him on the face: "Husband, you seem more handsome today than ever before."
"Ah."
Wei Chengyi nodded seriously, his ears slightly reddening. No matter how many times he did it, he could not adapt to his wife's straightforwardness. However, every time he felt as sweet as honey in his heart, and wanted to hear more sweet words from her.
"My food is almost ready."
Not noticing his secret thoughts, Shen Xiangwan stood up and opened the lid of the pot. The rich aroma of the braised pork instantly filled the entire kitchen. The brightly colored soup made her appetite so tempted that even she couldn't help swallowing.
"time to eat."
Not long after, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi entered the main hall, carrying clay basins and plates respectively. Zhou Wushuang had already asked the servants to set up three large round tables. All the people from the Wei and Yan families gathered in the main hall, including Yan Lang and Ji Shaohan who had gone out to the village earlier to familiarize themselves with the environment.
Sumptuous dishes were served one after another. In addition to the steamed pork intestines, garlic spare ribs and braised pork made by Shen Xiangwan, the cook also made stir-fried lamb, spicy and sour crispy fish, cold shredded chicken and sour radish and duck soup, as well as two stir-fried side dishes. Although there were not many types of dishes, the portions were large and almost filled the entire table.
In addition, Shen Xiangwan also took out a few bottles of wine she brewed herself from the space, and asked Yuan Ying to go to the workshop to get glass cups, and poured a glass for everyone one by one.
"What kind of wine is this? Why is it purple?"
Picking up the glass, Ji Shaohan couldn't help but shake it gently twice out of curiosity. The purple-red liquid swayed and seemed to be more delicious. He was also a wine lover, so he couldn't help but take a sip.
"This is wine. I made it myself."
Shen Xiangwan smiled slightly, not intending to explain in detail. After exchanging a glance with Wei Chengyi, the couple raised their glasses and said, "Master, Master's Wife, Uncle Yan, and Jun Ling, welcome to our restaurant. Please enjoy your meal and drink well. If there is not enough, please ask the kitchen to make more. We will drink first as a token of our respect. Please feel free to drink as you wish."
"Dry."
The young couple has done it, how can they be casual?
No matter men or women, including the little cub, all of them tilted their heads back and drank the contents of their cups. Of course, what the little cub drank was not wine, but the fresh fruit juice that Shen Xiangwan specially squeezed.
"Everyone, please feel free to treat this place as your own home."
Sitting down again, Shen Xiangwan picked up the chopsticks and greeted them.
"No need to greet me, I won't be polite to you."
As he spoke, Yan Lang took the lead and picked up a piece of garlic-flavored spareribs and put it in his mouth. With him taking the lead, the others did not hesitate and started eating. After they tasted the delicious pork and pig intestines, they praised them highly and started eating faster than the other. Of course, some people focused on the wine, such as Ji Shaohan. He was tasting the wine the whole time and praised it from time to time, obviously he liked it very much.
