With his admittedly naive thinking, Tong Sanlang put some dishes onto the ox cart and then drove the cart home.
It was midday when he arrived home. His father, Tong Xingda, was sitting in the courtyard scolding Tong Erlang. Tong Tiehu was sitting to one side with a stern face, while Qian Shi, his mother Zhang Shi, and Zhu Hongyun were cooking lunch in the kitchen.
Upon seeing him return, Tong Xingda frowned, “Didn’t you go to the store in town?”
“No,” Tong Sanlang explained, “I was in a hurry to come back and cook these dishes, so 1 didn’t go to the store.”
“What dishes?” Tong Xingda asked, his face still somewhat unpleasant.
He had heard about the incident from Tong Erlang last night. While he had strenuously reprimanded Tong Erlang for defying Tong Tiehu, he also wanted to reprimand Tong Sanlang for getting close to Qiao Xiaomai.
With a mother who had eloped with another man, a girl with such a poor reputation could be trampled upon by anyone. While he had no complaints about Village Chief Tong Tiehu’s upright attitude and non-discrimination, he would never agree if Tong Sanlang planned to marry her into their household.
Recognizing his father’s resistant attitude, Tong Sanlang didn’t say much. He just picked up the clay jars he had placed on the ox cart.
Fearing that the food would cool down on the way, Qiao Xiaomai had specially put it in the clay jars.
There were more than a dozen clay jars of various sizes in her house, just right for packing these dishes.
“Grandfather, Dad, try this craftsmanship,” he directly brought down the two clay jars with pork knuckles and braised pork and placed them in front of Tong Tiehu and Tong Xingda.
He turned around and brought down another two small jars, one containing pig’s trotter soup and the other mixed pig intestines and ears,
After getting a table, he put all the jars on the table, lifted the lids, and a rich aroma wafted out.
Tong Tiehu immediately put on a friendly expression, “Xiaomai’s cooking skills have improved again.”
Tong Xingda’s face froze.
He had seen the wider world too, but looking at the color of the meat and smelling its aroma, this was something he had never seen nor smelled before.
He had originally thought Qiao Xiaomai was just a pretty village girl, but now it seemed he had been mistaken.
With just these cooking skills, she is well qualified to be the head chef at the Capital City’s Premier Taste House.
The previously impatient Tong Erlang instinctively took deep breaths. The fragrance was somewhat intoxicating!
“I’ll go to the kitchen to get chopsticks. Erbrother, bring a jug of wine.” Observing the expressions of the three people present, Tong Sanlang spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, Tong Erlang glared at him, but still went inside to fetch the jug of wine.
Tong Sanlang smiled and headed to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the three women were busy with the meals. Four dishes were already prepared on the stove. Tong Sanlang told them not to bother, the dishes he had brought back alone were enough for their family to eat.
“Saner, what’s going on with you and Qiao Xiaomai?” Zhang Shi wiped her hands on her apron and asked with a frown.
“Mother, there’s nothing between me and her. I’ll explain in detail after we eat,” Tong Sanlang replied.
He really had no interest in Qiao Xiaomai.
Before discovering her secret, he saw her as a pitiful little girl,
After discovering her secret, he was always worried that she would cause trouble and disrupt his plans. So he was always on guard against her and saw her as a danger.
But today, his confidence was shaken. Based on these cooking skills alone, he could be sure that she had seen a bigger world than he had.
There were also the superhuman strength and magical ability to conjure things out of thin air.
This girl…
If she really wanted to stir up trouble, he probably couldn’t stop her..
