"Master Si, it's enough to just be present. Why go through so much trouble and come here in person?"
Mu Lige was worried that there would not be enough chairs when guests came, so he specially asked Aunt Qianyi in the village to customize a few more. He didn't expect that they would really come in handy now.
In the main hall, Hua Qingcheng sat at the head of the square table, looking at the huge pile of things that the coachman had moved in and placed in the corner after the villagers left. She looked at Si Chengfeng opposite her and said with a forced smile.
Hua Qingcheng felt that she had saved his life, and although she hadn't expected anything in return, since he had offered her a thank-you gift, she couldn't refuse it, right? Therefore, she accepted it without any psychological burden. However, she also felt that the look in his eyes was intriguing, but she had no evidence.
Since Hua Qingcheng got up late this morning, the four husbands had not eaten yet. Mu Lige was heating up the food in the kitchen, while Situ Ye, Han Yichen and Yu Xiaotian were sitting on both sides of Hua Qingcheng respectively.
Han Yichen's good thing was interrupted just now. At this moment, he was sitting on the left side of Hua Qingcheng, looking warily at the culprit opposite him, Si Chengfeng, who was well-dressed and looked like a decent man.
"Although it is said that a man's virtue lies in his lack of talent, I have been fortunate enough to have read a few years of sage books and understand the principle of repaying even a drop of kindness with a spring. If I don't come to thank you in person, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat well."
Seeing that the other party spoke seriously and with reason and evidence, Hua Qingcheng didn't know what to say.
"Master Si, it's rare for you to visit my humble abode. Why don't you stay and have a simple meal?"
Han Yichen looked at Si Chengfeng, who was smiling brightly, and then said to Hua Qingcheng, "Wife, I'm going to the kitchen to help my eldest brother! Second brother, you can come with me!"
Without waiting for Hua Qingcheng to answer, Han Yichen stood up and pulled Situ Ye towards the door. Seeing this, Yu Xiaotian also wanted to follow, but was pushed back to his seat by Han Yichen, who said that the kitchen was small and did not need so many people.
Are you kidding! If all three of them left, wouldn't that just leave the wife and that wild man alone, a single woman and a single man, to engage in a passionate affair? This kind of compromise didn't suit his style. Besides, with his manly intuition, he felt that this guy had ill intentions towards his wife.
"Second brother, third brother, why are you here? We can eat after I finish cooking this dish."
Mu Lige said as he looked at Situ Ye and Han Yichen who suddenly appeared in the kitchen.
"Brother, since such distinguished guests have arrived, we must treat them well. You can go back to the main hall and rest for a while. Leave this to us two."
Han Yichen took the spatula from Mu Li Ge and pushed him out of the kitchen. After scooping out the food from the pot, Han Yichen handed the spatula to Situ Ye, patted his shoulder and said:
"Second brother, it's time for you to show your skills! I'm counting on you!"
Situ Ye, who had lost confidence in his cooking skills, suddenly regained his confidence after hearing Han Yichen's words, and started to busy himself in the kitchen.
As for Han Yichen, he took advantage of the time when Situ Ye was cooking to eat two large bowls of rice with the dishes that Mu Lige had heated up.
“Mission accomplished!”
Situ Ye looked at the dish he had just prepared with satisfaction.
Han Yichen looked at the four plates of unknown objects on the stove, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said:
"Brother, hurry up and bring the dishes to the main hall. Don't let the guests wait anxiously! I'll be in charge of preparing the meal."
Watching Situ Ye carry out two plates of dishes, Han Yichen got six bowls of rice, then took out a bag of colorless and odorless powder from his arms. He sprinkled a little powder into the first bowl of rice, and then the powder on the rice disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no sign of anything unusual from the outside.
snort!
Let you seduce your wife!
I’ll kill you if I don’t watch this for a while!
A moment later, in the main room next to the kitchen.
"Mr. Si, sorry for the wait. Come and eat!"
Han Yichen brought the cooked rice into the main room on a wooden tray, but he almost bumped into Situ Ye who was returning to the kitchen to serve the dishes when he entered.
"Sorry, Third Brother!"
Situ Ye hurriedly steadyed the tray in Han Yichen's hand as he nearly fell, and rearranged the rice.
After distributing rice to everyone, Han Yichen said to Si Chengfeng with a smile on his face, "Mr. Si, eat quickly! The food won't taste good if it gets cold!"
Si Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite Hua Qingcheng, looked at the attentive third husband of the Hua family and inexplicably smelled a scent of conspiracy, and couldn't help but become a little alert.
"Well, this preserved vegetable braised pork is good! This day lily looks good too. This dish... and this... uh, looks good too! And this seaweed soup seems quite fragrant too."
Si Chengfeng tried hard to make himself look friendly and try to fit in with them. Looking at the dishes made by Situ Ye on the table, he immediately praised each of them, but looking at the other person's dark face, it seemed that he was not very happy?
Situ Ye's heart sank upon hearing this. He had just made four dishes and a soup: stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, stir-fried bean sprouts, braised pork, stuffed tofu, and a vegetable and shredded pork soup, but the other party hadn't gotten any of them right...
"Come on, come on, Mr. Si, please don't be polite and eat more!"
Han Yichen picked up a pair of serving chopsticks and put a full bowl of food into it. He didn't stop until the bowl was as high as a mountain and placed it in front of Si Chengfeng.
"Mr. Han, you are so polite! Come on, eat more too!"
Seeing this, Si Chengfeng followed suit, picked up an empty bowl beside him, and filled it with the protruding vegetables for Han Yichen.
Although he didn't know what kind of pit was waiting for him ahead, Si Chengfeng felt that it would never be wrong if they went back and forth.
Seeing the two people's actions, Hua Qingcheng's mouth twitched slightly. She just started eating rice and ignored them.
Looking at Si Chengfeng, whose face was distorted from eating, sitting below him, Han Yichen was overjoyed, although he was also eating in pain.
"Master Si, come eat! Are you not used to the simple meals we farmers have?"
As Han Yichen spoke, he used the serving chopsticks to scoop almost all the remaining dishes into the bowl in front of Si Chengfeng.
Si Chengfeng looked at the bowl that was finally full after almost finishing it, and endured the mixed taste of salty, sweet, sour, spicy, bitter and astringent in his mouth, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Han, you are too polite. You look so thin, you should eat more to replenish your body!"
After saying that, Si Chengfeng scooped a large bowl of soup and placed it in front of Han Yichen.
Come on!
Hurt each other!
Hua Qingcheng, who was sitting at the top, was eating half-cooked rice and was happy that someone was sharing the indescribable dishes with her, and she ignored the two idiots' actions.
Mu Lige and Yu Xiaotian were "forced" to eat only rice. As for Situ Ye, when he saw that the dishes he cooked were actually eaten up by them, he immediately regained his confidence in his cooking skills.
