Boss Ye even raised his glass and started drinking.
Mrs. Ye became more speechless and stopped competing with Qin Hexuan to feed Qingtian. The main reason was that she seemed to be unable to win the competition and did not dare to do so.
And Qin Hexuan definitely feeds the baby better than her.
After all, he always chose the best place to pick up food with his chopsticks, but in front of the people at the table, Mrs. Ye only dared to pick up food from the edge of the plate.
Qin Hexuan was so busy feeding Qingtian that he didn't even have time to eat a few bites himself.
Fortunately, it was a sunny day and people had small appetites, so they were full quickly.
Qin Hexuan then started to eat the stir-fried pheasant.
Fortunately, Mr. Cen and Mr. Jiang at the table were both quite old. They were afraid to eat something too spicy, and they also had difficulty chewing.
Boss Ye liked it, but he only dared to pick some places with less meat and more bones, such as the claws and the cavity, to gnaw on to satisfy his craving. He left the good places such as the chicken legs, chicken breasts and chicken wings to Qin Hexuan.
Qin Hexuan finished most of the plate of pheasant by himself.
If he wasn't worried that it would look too ugly and uncultured, Qin Hexuan would have wanted to use chopsticks to stir the plate carefully so as not to miss some chicken that was difficult to detect from the surface.
With a hint of regret, Qin Hexuan quickly finished his meal and put down his chopsticks.
Seeing this, the others put down their chopsticks one after another.
Mr. Wei was the only one still eating.
Qin Hexuan was worried that he would feel uncomfortable if he ate too much at once, so he asked, "Sir, did you bring any pills to help digestion?"
“…”
After hearing this, Mr. Wei paused his hand that was reaching for his elbow, frowned and felt it, and found that he was indeed a little full.
However, one of Mr. Wei's strengths is that he listens to advice. Even though he was reluctant, he still put down his chopsticks.
"Mrs. Ye, it's been so long since we last met. How come your cooking skills seem to have improved again?"
"Mr. Wei, what you ate before was all cooked casually while fleeing from famine. Even after arriving in Tianjin, there were still many things missing from the kitchen.
"Mr. Jiang now has everything he needs, the kitchen utensils are easy to use, and he has a kitchen helper to help.
"If the food still tastes like the one we had while fleeing from famine, that would be a little unreasonable, wouldn't it?"
Although it is known that with Mr. Wei's talent and status, even Mrs. Qin would treat him with courtesy when she met him.
But Mrs. Ye never gets nervous when facing Mr. Wei, and she can even make a little joke.
Seeing that Sister Ye was chatting so amiably with the great scholar of the day, Mr. Jiang couldn't help but nudge Elder Cen beside him with his elbow and mouthed to him, "Your granddaughter is no ordinary one!"
But what Mr. Cen was thinking about at this time was something else.
Mrs. Ye has such a good relationship with Mr. Wei and the Qin family that the Qin family can just say a few words to let her skip the initial screening and directly enter the subsequent competition.
In this way, she really didn't know me in the noodle shop that day, and there was no need for her to curry favor with me or trick me.
When Mr. Jiang helped Mrs. Ye to explain, he was actually still skeptical.
Now that he had finally figured this matter out, Mr. Cen's mood instantly improved, the smile on his face became more sincere, and he raised the wine glass in his hand frequently, and soon he was a little drunk.
He said to Mrs. Ye across the table, "After so many years, we finally recognize each other.
"When I return this time, I will have someone clean up the cross-courtyard, and then you can move directly to the capital.
"Besides Qingtian, how many other children are there in the family? How old are they? I'll have the servants prepare new rooms for each of them later..."
As Mr. Cen spoke, he began to imagine the beautiful scene of having his children and grandchildren around him.
His cold and deserted house will soon be filled with laughter.
But his suggestion frightened Mrs. Ye, who quickly waved her hands and said, "Mr. Cen, this is not possible.
"Don't even mention that my father is just your apprentice. Even if he is your biological son, there is no reason for him to bring his entire family back to live with his mother after getting married.
"Even if I don't mind, outsiders will stab us in the back."
Seeing that he was a little drunk, Mr. Jiang immediately tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mr. Cen, aren't you planning to hold a cooking competition? In my opinion, it's better not to rush Madam You into moving there. Otherwise, it will be disastrous if word gets out.
"If Madam You wins later, others will say that her victory was unfair."
"Well, what you said makes sense." In fact, Mr. Cen had thought about this matter before.
At that time, his reason told him that this was not appropriate.
But now that he had drunk some wine, he finally spoke his true feelings.
After Jiang Yuanwai convinced Mr. Cen with one sentence, he smiled at Mrs. Ye and said, "He was just talking drunkenly, don't take it to heart.
"He just feels so lonely living alone, and he hopes someone can keep him company.
"When he sobers up, he won't say such nonsense."
Mr. Jiang's words suddenly made Mrs. Ye feel sad.
Although she saw more of her father's madness, she had to admit that her father's cooking skills were excellent. Mr. Cen must have invested a lot of effort in him back then, right?
After my father was exiled, he at least got married and had children, and had family to take care of him.
But Mr. Cen has always lived alone.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye’s heart softened instantly.
She looked up at Mr. Cen and said, "Although we can't move into your house, we will visit you often.
"When we have saved enough money, we plan to live in Beijing. Then it will be convenient for us to take care of you nearby."
When Mr. Jiang heard this, he thought, does Mrs. Ye want to acknowledge Old Cen as her grandfather?
