Qian Duoduo looked at the bags that Qian Gui and the others were carrying and curiously walked over to take a look. She saw two chicken feet sticking out of one of the bags. The chicken feet were stretched straight up and were making a peace sign, which was quite funny. Needless to say, just by looking at those two chicken feet, one could guess that the bag must contain a once lively little chick. Looking at the little chick with the peace sign, Qian Duoduo wanted to laugh but dared not.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but sigh helplessly and muttered to herself, "Alas, it seems that I can't escape my identity as a cook today no matter what!" Hearing this, everyone around burst into laughter.
At this moment, Qian Xiang said with a smile, "Since you became the big boss, we've really had a rare chance to taste your delicious cooking! You're always busy with this and that, constantly running around."
Qian Duoduo didn't want to waste any more words with them and turned to walk towards the small courtyard they had rented in the county town. Once back in the courtyard, she first greeted Zhang Muyao, then hurriedly began to tidy herself up. In no time, she had changed her clothes and quickly went into the kitchen.
Qian Xiang followed Qian Duoduo into the kitchen with a smile. He often cooked at home. Although his cooking skills were passable, some people simply didn't have the same talent as him, so he mostly assisted in the kitchen, doing simple tasks like chopping vegetables, washing dishes, or cleaning pots. Even so, everyone thought Qian Xiang was quite good; at least he stayed in the kitchen and wasn't kicked out by Duoduo.
Right now, Qian Duoduo is showing off her skills in the kitchen! Her practiced movements and precise handling of various ingredients clearly show that she has learned from Jin Jinxiu. As time goes by, an enticing aroma wafts out of the kitchen.
At first, Zhang Muyao could barely restrain herself while sitting in the house, but gradually she couldn't contain herself any longer. She kept turning her head to look towards the kitchen, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. Her heart was itching, and she couldn't wait to get up and rush to the kitchen to see what was going on. Her eager little eyes betrayed her desire to go to the kitchen and see what delicious food was ready for today.
However, Qian Mao gently shook his head and slowly said, "Yaoyao, you know how stubborn Duoduo is. You're not alone now, and you can't stand the smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Besides, look at how only Qian Xiang is helping out in the kitchen and hasn't been kicked out by Duoduo yet, it's only because he's actually useful! If you went, Duoduo would definitely not allow it, and she might even kick you out."
Hearing this, Zhang Muyao pouted and shook Qian Mao's arm coquettishly, saying, "Oh, okay, honey~ then go to the kitchen and see if there's any food that's already prepared. Can you get me some to try first?"
Qian Mao was well aware of his wife's little secret. She was incredibly upset if she couldn't taste something she wanted to eat right away. This wasn't a one-off occurrence; it was practically a daily occurrence. Qian Mao smiled indulgently and nodded, softly replying, "Okay, Yao Yao, you go sit on the sofa and wait a bit, okay? I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can get you something nice to eat." Seeing Zhang Mu Yao sitting on the sofa like a good little girl, he smiled and quickly turned and walked towards the kitchen.
He had barely stepped into the kitchen when Qian Duoduo swiftly shoved a bowl into his hands, yelling impatiently, "Get out of here! Don't stand here getting in the way and annoying me!"
Qian Mao subconsciously glanced down at the bowl in his palm. Inside were golden-brown, fragrant chicken legs and wings, neatly arranged and emitting a mouthwatering aroma. He couldn't help but grin, turning his gaze to Qian Duoduo, who was busy at the stove, and praised, "Oh my, I must say, girls really understand girls best! Look at what you've prepared, isn't this exactly what your third sister-in-law has been longing for? You even figured out her little secret!"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo didn't even turn around. She simply grabbed a shovel from the side and waved it at Qian Mao a couple of times, making a gesture to shoo him away. Seeing this, Qian Mao didn't dare to linger any longer. He quickly hugged the bowl in his hand and ran away as fast as he could.
Zhang Muyao had been eagerly waiting on the sofa for quite some time. When she finally saw Qian Mao slowly walk into the room carrying a bowl, her eyes lit up instantly, and she involuntarily leaned forward, putting on a sweet and docile expression, like a gentle little lamb. However, all of this didn't escape Qian Mao's sharp eyes. Just the moment she entered, he clearly caught Zhang Muyao craning her neck to look outside. But now, seeing his wife's cute and playful appearance, Qian Mao secretly chuckled, but didn't utter a single word to expose her, simply playing along with her act.
For Zhang Muyao, the chicken leg was just an appetizer. After Qian Duoduo finished cooking all the dishes, she ate heartily again and gave Qian Duoduo a thumbs up.
At this moment, the other men present gradually relaxed. Qian Duoduo chatted happily with her brothers, their conversation revolving not only around her upcoming grand wedding but also around the crucial project in the county. Qian Gui, in particular, was extremely agitated because the steel bars supplied by the vendor he had found were of seriously substandard quality, and he kept cursing and swearing. Seeing this, Qian Mao quickly stepped forward to support Zhang Muyao, who was standing nearby, and carefully led her to sit down on the sofa, clearly not wanting his child to hear such foul language.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo quickly reassured him, "Leave the steel bar issue to me. However, you must prepare a sufficient quantity of materials such as sand and cement."
Upon hearing this, Qian Gui nodded hurriedly and replied, "We know what we're doing, don't worry, sister."
Then, Qian Duoduo added, "Brother Qian Gui, once the steel bar issue is resolved smoothly and the project here can resume normal construction, you can come with me to Shenzhen."
Upon hearing this, Qian Gui's eyes lit up immediately, and he excitedly replied, "Back to Pengcheng? That would be wonderful!"
However, seeing his overjoyed expression, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but think to herself that this guy probably had other intentions!
