"A rich kid like you wouldn't understand. When you're working overtime at night, keep a few braised goose wings on hand, along with a can of beer or a soft drink, it's so refreshing!"
Young Master Yan's food and daily necessities are all of the finest and most expensive quality. This kind of braised food, which is very popular among ordinary people, would never have caught his eye before.
Therefore, Zhu Qianying felt that he had never before torn a goose wing apart so carelessly, without any regard for decorum.
"Really? I'll try it sometime!"
If anyone else had made this suggestion, Young Master Yan would have simply thought they were an idiot.
But when Zhu Qianying brought it up, he became curious.
Zhu Qianying looked at him with a mischievous grin, "Do you really want to try it? There's still some in the fridge. I can pack it up for you in a sealed bag with some ice packs. When you get to the hotel there, have someone put it in the fridge. When you want to eat it, just heat it up in the microwave! It'll be absolutely delicious!"
Encouraged by Zhu Qianying, Yan Shao was indeed tempted.
So, after finishing the goose wing in her hand, Zhu Qianying went back into the kitchen to continue tinkering.
Yan Shao followed, holding a goose wing in his hand. "Ying'er, how many are left?"
Zhu Qianying turned her head and stared at Young Master Yan, who was leaning against the kitchen counter and tearing off a goose wing. The goose wing was the kind that could be bought for just a few dollars, but when Young Master Yan held it in his hand, it seemed to have become a very high-end food.
At this moment, Zhu Qianying had an urge to take a picture of Yan Shao, who ate goose wings with such elegance and refinement, and use it as a signboard in the restaurant.
With this gentleman as a living advertisement, this Zhuqianying brand braised goose wings might just become the signature dish of a private restaurant.
"Ying'er!"
Yan Shao's voice interrupted Zhu Qianying's beautiful reverie.
"Um?"
"I asked you how many you have left?"
Yan Shao leaned over to look, and Zhu Qianying opened a large food storage box to take a look. "There are quite a lot, probably ten or twenty!"
Zhu Qianying loves to eat it, so she always braises a big pot of it and puts it in the refrigerator to eat slowly.
"Pack them all up for me, okay?"
Yan Shao thought to himself, how wonderful it would be to be able to eat Zhu Qianying's homemade food every day while on a business trip for two or three days.
Zhu Qianying looked at him in surprise for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, I'll pack them all up for you."
The next day, Qin Xiu, who was on a business trip with Yan Shao, took a small foam box from Yan Shao's driver, looked at it for a few moments, and then asked in confusion.
"Sir, what is this?"
"It's delicious!" Young Master Yan replied succinctly.
But the undisguised elation on his face made Qin Xiu realize immediately that the food was probably prepared by Shadow.
Did the shadow make this for you?
Yan Shao nodded coolly, "Of course, do you think Zizai can do it?"
Qin Xiu really wanted to say, "Master, have you forgotten that besides Yingzi and Zizai, you also have a super chef mother-in-law, and several top chefs from the Yan family who can cook for you?"
However, considering the five years of gloomy and miserable days that he endured, now that he has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, let him occasionally show off his affection!
...
That night, Zhu Qianying stayed in Zizai's room until the little guy fell asleep before turning off the lights, closing the door, and returning to her own room.
I found that the video call invitation window kept popping up on my computer, which was still running.
Upon clicking, it turned out to be Young Master Yan.
To be honest, Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao have known each other for so long, but it seems that they have never tried video chatting before. Moreover, it was Yan Shao who took the initiative, which makes it even more unbelievable.
Zhu Qianying clicked "accept," and Yan Shao's image appeared on the screen. "Ying'er, your suggestion is really good."
Zhu Qianying uttered a soft "Hmm?!"
"The suggestion of pairing goose wings with a can of beer is really good!"
Yan Shao wore a smile, as if he were eating and drinking the finest delicacies in the world.
"Right? Now that you mention it, I'd like to grab a few too, but unfortunately, you've already taken them all!"
Zhu Qianying felt more and more regretful. She had just put down her rice bowl not long ago, but his words had made her hungry again. She swallowed and glared fiercely at the man on the screen.
Yan Shao laughed heartily, "I should have saved a few for you. It's a waste that Qin Xiu got them for nothing."
It turned out that Yan Shao and Qin Xiu had just asked the hotel waiter to heat up the goose wings and bring over a few cans of beer. While drinking beer and eating the goose wings, they discussed their negotiation strategy for tomorrow with the client. Surprisingly, their thinking was exceptionally clear; the parts they had been stuck on before were now being tackled with ease. They attributed this success entirely to Zhu Qianying's goose wings.
Zhu Qianying listened to Yan Shao recount the events with a smile, and found it amusing as well.
"If it's really that effective, next time I'm stuck in a creative block, I'll braise a pot of goose wings and buy a whole case of beer to keep on hand!"
"Anyway, Qin Xiu said that if you keep making these these days, make him thirty of them too, and he'll pay for them. He won't eat them for free!"
Yan Shao wasn't usually that generous, but Qin Xiu knew too many of his secrets, and these were extraordinary times, so it was better to go along with him and shut him up.
So, the next day, Zhu Qianying went to the supermarket with Chen Jing. When she put a big bag of goose wings into the shopping cart, Chen Jing was shocked.
"Ying'er, didn't you just make a big pot of braised food a few days ago? Did you finish it all so quickly?"
"Yes, it was all robbed by bandits," said Zhu Qianying.
After thinking it over carefully, Chen Jing immediately understood the gist of it.
"Oh, so now, are you planning to braise another big pot and continue to offer it as tribute to the bandits?" Chen Jing teased.
Zhu Qianying touched her nose, coughed a few times, and said, "Yes! Mom, you're so smart!"
Chen Jing looked at her daughter with amusement, "If I weren't smarter, my daughter might have been kidnapped by bandits and taken to the mountains to be their wife!"
Zhu Qianying paused for a moment, then stared at her mother for a few moments. "Mom, you're getting worse and worse. It seems that Xiaoyu and I should really help you find a good family to marry into."
Actually, Zhu Qianying and Xiaoyu had discussed their mother's marriage several times in private.
But no one expected to find a suitable candidate.
During the two days that she and Yan Shao took Zizai to the beach for vacation, it is said that Letong introduced her mother to the owner of a restaurant chain.
My mother and the boss named Luo Yifan hit it off immediately. After all, they had a lot in common, and he was indeed single, as his wife had apparently passed away from illness two or three years ago.
But Zhu Qianying had probed her mother these past two days, and it seemed that her mother and that Boss Luo weren't compatible.
Zhu Qianying thought that if even someone like Zhu Zhizhou could keep her mother infatuated for so many years, then since he wasn't old, was successful in his career, and was also good-looking, her mother would definitely take a liking to him.
