Before nightfall, Hou Guifang and her group returned home laden with their loot.
"Guifang, we're spending the New Year away from home this year. The old man has already said that we have to go back to Beijing next year." Long Jingyu said this as she entered the room.
Sheng Qian, who had already stopped what she was doing, heard it clearly.
I thought to myself, this must be something I'm saying to her.
It implies that Sheng Qian is immature and naive.
After all, it was because of her that Long Yunting was sent down here. To appease her, they bought her a house here and gave the Sheng family great benefits.
If it were a proper marriage, how could one obtain such an expensive "bride price"? Instead, one would marry a country girl who is illiterate, incompetent, yet has many demands.
Other men who married the original owner of this body could be easily appeased with just a few dollars.
Sheng Qian didn't hear this. She just glanced at the bags they had bought and asked, "I'll cook today. Do you need to add a few dishes?"
Hou Guifang then smiled and said to Long Jingyu, "Big sister, this outfit of mine was made by Xiaoqian herself. She has many more beautiful clothing designs! Knowing that you were coming, Xiaoqian made one or two new outfits for each of you! Also, Xiaoqian's cooking is delicious. Some of her cooking methods are so unique that I've never even seen them at the chefs in Beijing! Big sister, you'll definitely love it once you try it!"
Upon hearing Hou Guifang's praise again, Long Jingyu couldn't help but scrutinize Sheng Qian once more, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Sheng Qian said, "It's not as good as Aunt Fang said, but it's barely edible."
Zhou Zhuoru and Long Yucheng both looked over. Long Yucheng was alright; he glanced at it and then went to talk to Long Haifeng.
Zhou Zhuoru seemed about to say something, but then stopped herself, whether out of embarrassment or disdain, it was hard to tell.
Sheng Qian went into the kitchen and started cooking. At this time, there weren't many seasonings, but the key was authenticity; there weren't many fake ingredients.
Therefore, it will taste relatively better.
Sheng Qian wasn't a master chef, but she created a few dishes that were both visually appealing and delicious, incorporating elements from later developments.
When they called for dinner, everyone was somewhat surprised: "So soon?"
Long Yucheng couldn't help but glance at his second sister-in-law again. He neither liked nor disliked her.
She simply didn't feel anything, and from the bottom of her heart, she never truly acknowledged Sheng Qian as her second sister-in-law.
Perhaps it was because Sheng Qian was someone the Long family "bought" that not only Long Yucheng felt this way, but his family members in the capital also felt the same way.
But now it seems that this second sister-in-law is somewhat different from what I've heard.
Sheng Qian is very efficient. Hou Guifang smiled and said, "Xiao Qian is very skilled at cooking and quick at everything. This is already the slowest she can do!"
Upon hearing this, Long Haifeng couldn't help but look at the dishes on the table and his mouth watered!
