My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm - Chapter 226

226 Chapter 226 Engagement (2)

But their current bodies didn’t allow them to have children. They had to wait for Zhou Ying’s body to mature completely, as Gu Chengrui didn’t want to ruin her body just for the sake of giving birth.

Another thing was the problem with their environment. The weather was too abnormal, so who knows if there might be a chaotic future?

It was dangerous to be pregnant or with a baby if disaster struck.

Besides, they were still young, so it was better to wait until their future was more stable.

When Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Guo heard this, they didn’t try to persuade them anymore and instead busied themselves with cooking.

In truth, Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Liu had already prepared quite a lot of ingredients. A giant rooster that weighed about five pounds, two pounds of streaky pork, two pounds of mutton, and a large slab of tofu.

Soon, the dishes were ready. Mrs. Guo saw the mutton pieces cut into pieces on the chopping board and looked at Zhou Ying, who was sitting by the fire. “You should cook this cumin mutton dish, Zhou Ying, because we usually cook it too gamy and dry.”

“No problem. You can leave it here while I prepare the seasoning.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she got up and washed her hands. She then proceeds to marinate the mutton with a small amount of salt, scallions, and peanut oil.

She then prepared cumin and chili powder.

After the chicken and mushroom stew was out of the pot, Zhou Ying began to stir-fry the mutton.

As soon as the fragrance wafted out, Gu Ziqiu ran in and said, “I knew it was third sister-in-law cooking. Otherwise, it wouldn’t smell so good.”

Zhou Ying nodded. “It’s good that you like it. Today is the day of your engagement, so do you want to cook a dish to show your skills?”

“Okay, then I’ll stir-fry the shiitake mushrooms and bok choy. I’m good at that.” Gu Ziqiu hesitated for a moment and agreed with a blushing face.

Besides, this was one of the reasons why her mother had asked her to come here. It was the custom here, and she could not avoid it.

Zhou Ying nodded. After frying the cumin mutton dish, she divided it between two plates and brought them to the dining room.

Seeing this, Madam Qiao smiled. “It looks like we will be having a good meal today. Let the ladies deal with the rest while you should quickly sit down and eat.”

“Alright.” Zhou Ying responded and put a plate on each table for the men and women. Finally, she sat opposite Madam Qiao, next to the matchmaker lady.

As soon as she sat down, the matchmaker lady immediately sized her up and smiled. “You must be Manager Zhou from Grassland Taste Restaurant. I didn’t expect you to look even prettier up close.”

“I’ll take it as you complimenting me. If there’s a chance in the future, come to the restaurant for a visit.” Zhou Ying smiled and nodded.

“Oh, you and your lovely offer. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely come for a drink,” the matchmaker lady said with a smile.

At the same time, she was a little curious about Zhou Ying. Whether it was the way she walked or the way she carried herself, she didn’t act like a woman. Zhou Ying had the air of an inexperienced girl, and it was a little strange.

But she couldn’t care less about this and laughed it off.

When Madam Qiao heard Zhou Ying getting praised, she happily urged them, “Hurry up and move your chopsticks. The food won’t be good if it gets cold.

Especially this mutton; it will be a shame if it gets cold.”

“Yes, yes. The in-laws better try this mutton dish too.

“Chengrui’s wife rarely cooks now, even in her restaurant, so there aren’t many opportunities to taste her cooking.” Mrs. Yao smiled and echoed.

“Well, we’d better try it out then.” The groom’s mother, Zhang Lishi, chuckled and couldn’t wait to try it out.

Even the smell of it had already attracted her.

After a bite, the lingering fragrance was left on their lips and mouth. There was no gamey taste except for the umami of the mutton, and the meat was so tender that it was simply amazing.

She couldn’t help but eat three more mouthfuls in a go, and there were none left when she reached out to grab more of it.
