Chapter 321 I heard that I am the best (8)

"It's made of pork and tofu." Zhou Shichu said. Wang Shan picked up tofu meatballs.

"Did my sister-in-law make this? My sister-in-law is a great cook." Wang Shan boasted. He ate two more meatballs. The meatballs were so delicious that he couldn't help but eat them. Li Wei glared at him several times.

"It's not that good, but the recipe for these meatballs is very simple." Zhou Shichu said, "You can try radish meatballs, which also have a unique flavor."

"Great!" Wang Shan ate another kind of meatball, and his eyes lit up immediately. "Is there any radish that is so delicious? Sister-in-law, is your radish a special variety? Why does it taste different from the usual ones?"

Zhou Shichu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not a special variety, just an ordinary radish."

"It must be my sister-in-law's skillful hands that make the radish noble and taste better. If all the meatballs made of radish taste like this, I can eat radish every day!" Wang Shan said confidently.

"Yes, yes, I can too..." Hong Sheng also quickly agreed. He had indeed never eaten radish balls before. The taste was novel and delicious. He felt that he could eat them every day.

"If it tastes good, eat more." Zhou Shichu said with a smile. It is the happiest thing for a cook to have customers like his cooking.

"What are these golden pieces of meat? They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and refreshing. I have never eaten it before." Hong Sheng asked.

Zhou Shichu said: "It's mutton, coated with flour and egg paste and fried in a pan."

"Is it really mutton? I couldn't even taste it. My sister-in-law's cooking skills are amazing!" Wang Shan, the flatterer, kept praising Zhou Shichu's cooking skills. He even ate at the same speed. It was amazing.

Li Wei didn't say a word, but the fact that he kept picking up tofu balls and fried lamb chops with his chopsticks was enough to show his preference.

However, the portions of these three dishes were not large, not to mention that there were four men with big appetites sitting here. The meatballs, carrot balls and fried lamb chops were quickly finished. Wang Shan said to Zhou Shichu with an unsatisfied look, "Sister-in-law, the dishes you cooked are really delicious, but they are too few. I wonder if you can make more in the future?"

"Yes, yes! We haven't eaten enough. Alas, if we had never eaten it before, we wouldn't miss it. But now that we have eaten it, we can't eat enough. It's very exhausting. Sister-in-law, please be kind and have pity on us and satisfy our appetite..." Hong Sheng also shamelessly begged Zhou Shichu.

Seeing how supportive they were, Zhou Shichu said readily, "You can still come tomorrow, but you have to bring your own ingredients."

"Okay! I'll carry a sheep tomorrow!" Wang Shan said immediately, fearing that Zhou Shichu would go back on his word if he agreed later.

Hong Sheng also nodded repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, what else do you need? We can bring them all here."

Zhou Shichu didn't bother to be polite with them and said, "It depends on what you want to eat. Wild rabbits and pheasants you hunt, or mushrooms and fungus you pick from the mountains are all fine."

"We can get all these, and we'll trouble my sister-in-law when the time comes." Wang Shan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said cleverly that they could hunt pheasants and rabbits by themselves, and they could buy mountain products such as mushrooms and fungus from the villagers.

Li Wei saw his three subordinates enthusiastically discussing tomorrow's food with his cheap wife. They were talking excitedly, but they seemed to have forgotten about him and did not ask for his opinion at all. Although he had no opinion and was looking forward to tomorrow's food, he was always the head of the family and the boss of Wang Shan and the others. Why didn't they talk to him?

Li Wei felt inexplicably aggrieved and depressed, as if a cat's claw was scratching his heart.

"Boss! I really misunderstood my sister-in-law before. I thought she was really as bad as others said. I didn't expect her to be completely different. My sister-in-law is straightforward and hospitable, and she's a good cook too. It turns out that rumors are not to be believed." Wang Shan put his arm around Li Wei's shoulder and sighed.

"That's right. I don't know who is so wicked to spread my sister-in-law's reputation so badly! It must be those people who are jealous of my sister-in-law." Hong Sheng said indignantly.

Li Wei was silent. These three men had never been to the Li family before and did not know Zhou Shichu's character, so they thought the rumors were false. But Li Wei himself knew very well that Zhou Shichu was really as the rumors said, vain, selfish, stupid and arrogant.

Even yesterday when Zhou Shichu came back, she made a scene with him like a shrew, but today she calmed down a bit, and even cooked delicious dishes and entertained her subordinates warmly and generously.

Li Wei was a little confused. Zhou Shichu seemed to have changed too quickly. How come he was like two different people yesterday and today? His ways of dealing with people were completely different? But he couldn't figure out what was going on. After all, Zhou Shichu was still the same person, not someone else pretending to be him. As a person with strong observation skills, he could be sure of this.

"Boss, why don't you say anything? Is it because you ate too much and are distracted?" Wang Shan said with a wink.

Li Wei slapped his big head aside and said coldly, "Get lost, you're the one who ate too much!"

"Haha, boss, don't tell me, I was really full. There was nothing I could do. It's because my sister-in-law's cooking skills are so good. I really couldn't help it and ate too much." Wang Shan said with a laugh.

"Boss, you are so lucky..." Hong Sheng said with envy, "Unlike me, the food that the woman at home cooks is like pig food, it's barely enough to not kill you, but it's impossible to make it delicious."

Wang Shan and Hong Sheng were extremely envious of Li Wei, but Li Wei couldn't tell them that it was his first time eating a dish cooked by Zhou Shichu, so he could only close his eyes and listen to them envy him.

Zhou Shichu had no idea that the little bit of cooking skills she had shown had already conquered Li Wei's men. She was holding a piece of cloth, preparing to make clothes for herself and her step-sister.

The original owner did have quite a few clothes, but they were all gaudy. She looked like a pheasant, or a flashy brothel owner or matchmaker. She was so young, but she dressed herself in a tacky way, wasting her pretty face.

The original owner was not a great beauty. After all, she was not a young lady. She was a farm girl who had to work in the fields. Her skin was dark and rough. Although she had regular features and a good face shape, she did not know how to dress herself. She wore flashy clothes, and her clothes dominated the focus. Who still remembered what she looked like? Everyone only remembered that she was a troublemaker, who was very annoying.

So Zhou Shichu would not repeat the same mistake, she bought cloth and made her own clothes.

"Hmph! You're squandering my father's money again. How shameless..." Li Ji said sarcastically when he saw the cloth in Zhou Shichu's hand.

Zhou Shichu narrowed his eyes and deliberately angered him: "So what if I squandered it? He is my man after all, it is only natural for me to squander his money, and it is useless for you to be jealous!"

Li Ji was so angry that he jumped up and down and yelled, "You, you are so mean! I told my dad not to give you money!"

"That requires your father's consent." Zhou Shichu said nonchalantly. She was not the original owner. Even if Li Wei didn't give her money, she could still support herself and her adopted sister.
