Chapter 69 Husband and Wife Cooking Together
As an elder, Zhao Gongqin naturally wanted Qi Jingchuan to carry on the family line and start a family line as soon as possible, but children are independent individuals, not livestock to be bred. How can they be born just like that?
"It's a good thing that he knows how to cherish his wife. That's how the heir of our Zhao Suqi family should be."
He patted Qi Jingchuan on the shoulder, stopped asking about these matters, and turned to continue chatting with Qi Jingchuan about the upgrades and modifications of the warship.
When Cen Yan returned from grocery shopping with the old lady, the two had already finished their conversation, and both looked cheerful and relaxed. It was clear that after the conversation, they had a better grasp of the general direction of their careers.
Although Cen Yan made a three-point agreement with Qi Jingchuan before marriage that she would not do housework, that was the way the couple behaved behind closed doors. In public, she still had to give Qi Jingchuan some face.
"Grandpa and Grandma, please sit down and wait. Try my cooking. I guarantee that after you taste it, you can entrust Qi Jingchuan to me with peace of mind. I will raise him to be healthy and chubby."
At this point, Cen Yan suddenly felt that her words were a bit inappropriate. She turned her head and glanced at the tanned, masculine, and cold-hearted man, "It's still possible that he'll gain weight, but it's unlikely that he'll become fair-skinned."
Qi Jingchuan looked up at her and said, "I'll help you." He then got up and went into the kitchen.
Cen Yan was shocked. "I can manage on my own. You can leave!" She really didn't want to be alone with Qi Jingchuan. The man's hormonal scent was too strong.
"My knife skills are alright." Qi Jingchuan washed his hands, picked up a fresh and crisp cucumber from the side, and with his other hand holding the knife handle, easily sliced the cucumber into pieces.
Cen Yan glared at him: "Men are so spineless! I'm going to make cucumber salad!"
She had already decided when she went grocery shopping that she would show off her culinary skills in front of the two elders to solidify her image as a virtuous daughter-in-law, and she had already decided on the recipes.
She was supposed to make a steamed pomfret, a steamed scallop with garlic sauce, and some garlic pork belly, and also a cold cucumber salad. But now, Qi Jingchuan was busy with something and messed up her plans.
Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua were laughing heartily outside, "So what if we messed up? Even cucumber salad tastes good."
“Yan’er, if Qi Jingchuan is willing to work, just let him do it. The more you don’t let a man work, the lazier he becomes. Later on, if you ask him to do something, he will refuse to do this or that.”
“That’s true.” Cen Yan glanced at Qi Jingchuan, who had a tense face. Did I insult you wrong? Who are you trying to impress with that cold, cool look?
She handed over the pomfret, saying, "Make some cuts in it, marinate it with scallions, ginger, and garlic for five minutes, and then chop some garlic for me."
"Okay." Qi Jingchuan did exactly as Cen Yan instructed.
Cen Yan was in charge of seasoning and steaming fish, and soon she had prepared four dishes and a soup.
The soup was made from pork and crab soup, which she had cooked using raw rehmannia root she had taken from her spatial dimension.
Not greasy, it also clears heat and reduces internal fire, and is fresh and sweet. In this humid and hot island, drinking a bowl of such medicinal soup is better than being a living god.
"Dinner's ready!" Cen Yan called out, carrying the dishes out.
Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua gathered around, "Yan'er, your cooking is pretty good!"
They were all quite surprised. Cen Yan, a capitalist's daughter, should never have lifted a finger to cook, but now she was displaying such amazing culinary skills.
Needless to say, it must have been that bastard Shan Jianshe who abused her. He made Zhao Suqi's precious granddaughter-in-law cook since she was a child, she really suffered.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal; the cook was happy, and the diners were even happier.
