When Chunyan arrived, she saw Tian Sangui and Zhang Shi busy at work, while the chef she had hired at a high price stood there doing nothing.

"Hey, I invited you here to cook, not to supervise the work!"

"If you don't want to work here, take your things and leave."

At Chunyan's shout, two cooks quickly came running over to curry favor.

"Boss, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's that girl won't let us do it!"

"Yes, yes, she also said we were wasting food. When you invited us, you also found out that we have been cooks in the village for more than ten years. What kind of dishes haven't we cooked?"

He's a big boss, with a terrible temper, and he thinks he's all that!

"Boss, you can't blame us for not doing our work!"

Chunyan listened, and considering Tian Sangui's usual temper, it was indeed true.

Although Tian Sangui was cooking, the chef was not far away from her, and she heard every word they said.

When Chunyan walked over with a smile, she wanted to ask Tian Sangui what was going on.

Before she could even steady herself, Tian Sangui, while turning around to get the seasonings, brought up the dish from under the table.

"Auntie, look at what's happened to these cucumbers, greens, and peppers!"

After Tian Sangui finished speaking, he turned to the vegetables in the oil pot, and without even looking, he could tell what Chunyan's expression was like.

"Oh dear, my cabbage sprouts! Who the hell did this to me? Isn't this a waste of food?"

Chunyan looked at the wilted cucumbers and the red juices from the tomatoes soaked in oil with a pained expression.

The bok choy was cut to separate the leaves from the stems. What's worse, the tender water spinach was all taken, with the leaves discarded and wasted on the ground.

These vegetables were all picked by Chunyan and her husband early in the morning. They usually stir-fry the stems and leaves together for their own consumption, resulting in a fragrant, crisp, and smooth texture.

Unexpectedly, she was treated so badly by others, and Chunyan glared at the two cooks with hatred.

"It was you who, even if you didn't know how, at least asked first. Who gave you the audacity to waste my family's food without permission?"

"Forget about your wages, pack your things and get out of here. You're not welcome in Tianjia Village!"

The cooks immediately became anxious, and one of them hurriedly begged Chunyan in tears.

"No way! We're doing just fine, why are you rushing us like this?"

"Besides, these dishes weren't just touched by us; she touched them too, so why are you saying we're the ones who ruined them?"

The other one disagreed, pointing at Chunyan to show his grievance.

Chunyan originally thought that as long as they admitted their mistake, she would make do with them for the rest of the day. After all, it was her daughter's big day, and it would be a loss of face to kick them out in front of the guests.

But instead of repenting, they shifted the blame onto Tian Sangui.

These rare vegetable varieties in their village all came from Tian Sangui. Tian Sangui knew better than anyone else in the village how to eat each one. The seeds were precious, and Tian Sangui valued these vegetables more than anyone else.

How could there be such a waste?

Chunyan was so angry that her chest heaved. Without saying a word, she rolled up their knives and kitchen utensils.

He pushed the two men out the door in one breath and said fiercely to them in front of everyone, "Get out, get out! You useless good-for-nothings! I must have been blind to invite you here. Get out of here and don't ruin my daughter's auspicious day."

The noisy villagers, hearing the commotion, hurried over. The woman who was nearby tugged at Chunyan's sleeve, wanting to ask what was going on.

Chunyan decided to tell the villagers what had happened in the yard.

The crowd was even angrier than Chunyan, and they waved their sleeves to drive the two cooks out of Tianjia Village.

And everyone remembered their names, so they would definitely avoid hiring chefs from them in the future.

The two cooks helped each other and fled Tianjia Village in a disheveled state, harboring deep resentment towards Tian Sangui.

If it weren't for her, the two brothers would be making a fortune today.

It's also strange that Tianjia Village grows all sorts of odd and unusual vegetables.

"Pah! Eating such rotten and rotten stuff will surely lead to poisoning and death!"

The rather fat cook walked to the locust tree, turned around and spat in the direction of Chunyan's house, cursing Tianjia Village.

The two then reluctantly kicked the grass and slowly walked away.

With the help of Zhang and several aunts, Tian Sangui finally managed to prepare all the ingredients.

"Little Li, watch the fire, get ready to serve the main dishes!"

"Okay!"

Before long, the oil in the pan started sizzling and emitting blue smoke.

As soon as a handful of red chili peppers, scallions, ginger, and garlic were added to the pot, the flames roared up.

The sliced ​​meat was then added to the pot, and Tian Sangui quickly stir-fried it with a large ladle until the meat slices began to curl and the edges turned golden brown.

Green chilies are added to the pot along with the seasonings, and finally soy sauce is poured on top for color. A plate of fragrant and delicious twice-cooked pork is served, radiating a strong sense of appetite.

The large pot of stew can hold five dishes in one pot. This twice-cooked pork dish requires making a whole large pot to fill forty tables of continuous banquet outside.

Today's workload is huge, but fortunately, Zhang Shi had been taught a few dishes by Tian Sangui beforehand, so he can lend her a hand and give her some rest time.

Soon, the whole village was filled with the aroma of cooking oil and pepper. The children, tempted by the smell, abandoned their play and gathered in the courtyard with their friends to watch Tian Sangui cook, their mouths watering uncontrollably.

When Chunyan saw that it was time, she called over a few older women and began serving the dishes to everyone.

The dishes looked so appetizing that the older women couldn't resist taking a bite, and Chunyan teased them with a laugh.

The group kept going in and out.

The villagers ate with their mouths glistening with oil and their faces beaming with joy. Being able to eat the dishes cooked by Tian Sangui was a blessing for their Tianjia Village.

The young woman couldn't resist the enticing aroma and, taking advantage of the adults' busy schedule, went downstairs alone to find something to eat.

Originally, Chunyan and the others were busy preparing the feast and then bringing food upstairs to their daughter.

According to today's custom, when the bride's family hosts guests, the unmarried girl is not allowed to leave the boudoir.

However, Tian Sangui's cooking skills were so good that the young lady couldn't resist going downstairs to satisfy her craving.

"San Gui, what did you make? It smells so good upstairs. Can I have some to eat first?"

The young lady was dressed in bright red today, with a large red peony in her hair, gold earrings, silver bracelets, and a silver hairpin with auspicious cloud patterns on her face. She smiled and asked Tian Sangui for food.

Zhang looked up and exclaimed, "Oh my little darling, why did you come downstairs? Come back up quickly, I'll get it for you later. Hurry up and go inside, today is your big day, we can't break the rules, otherwise it will be bad luck!"

Before Tian Sangui could speak, Zhang hurriedly pushed the eldest daughter upstairs.

Left with no other choice, the young woman pouted her red lips and reluctantly went upstairs to stay.

Taking advantage of a brief moment of free time, Zhang took out a large bowl, put a chopstickful of all the dishes into the bowl, then scooped a spoonful of rice, and lifted her skirt to go upstairs to deliver the meal.

The young woman, who had been waiting for a long time, heard footsteps coming upstairs, quickly jumped out of bed, and ran to the door to take a look.

"Auntie, hurry up, I'm starving."

Actually, they couldn't wait to try Tian Sangui's cooking.

Zhang smiled helplessly, quickened her pace, and placed the bowl on the table.

The young woman eagerly opened the bowl herself, revealing a delicious dish; everything looked appetizing.

He picked up his chopsticks and eagerly stuffed the food into his mouth, making Zhang grimace as she watched.

"My dear girl, eat slowly, be careful not to choke!"
