Looking into her clear, glossy eyes.
Jin Xun suddenly found it difficult to look away, captivated by her.
âWhat are you looking at!â Xiao Yuchuan stood in front of Jin Xun, blocking his gaze on his wife. This personâ¦dared to look at Xiao Yuchuanâs wife like that. He clenched his fists inside his sleeves, the urge to hit someone rising.
Su Qingyue could tell that Third Brother was angry, so she calmly said, âThird Brother, Boss Jin is here on official business.â
Xiao Yuchuan knew he couldnât ruin his wifeâs business, so he restrained his impulse.
Besides, he noticed that Jin Xunâs gaze on his wife was filled with disappointment. Since his wife had caught onto this emotion, Jin Xun no longer posed a threat.
Su Qingyue gestured to the eight dishes on the stove, âAlright, I wonât go overboard with the introductions. These eight dishes were created using dried fern.â
Xiao Yuchuan stared at the dishes on the stove, picked up the chopsticks and tried to taste them, âWife, I never knew your frying skills were so brilliant, and that you could create so many different dishesâ¦â
Tao Meijiao also took up the chopsticks, wanting to taste but feeling shy, âXiao Yue, can I try some?â

âFeel free.â Su Qingyue gestured for them each to take a pair of chopsticks.
Jin Xun and Xiao Yuchuan both reached for the first dish simultaneously, and Jin Xunâs follower, Ji, quickly called out, âLet our boss try it first!â
âWhy should I let him go first? My wife cooked this,â Xiao Yuchuan wasnât buying it.
âHey⦠you!â Ji wanted to say something, but Tao Meijiao interjected, âAlthough Big Boss Jin does more business than my family, this is my mansion. What does it matter if the guests in my mansion eat first? If Big Boss Jin is unhappy, he can leave.â It would be even better if he left â one less competitor.
Jin Xun understood Tao Meijiaoâs intentions, âIt doesnât matter who goes first.â
Xiao Yuchuan grabbed a chopstick-full of dried fern to taste, âItâs so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue!â He took another piece for Su Qingyue, âWife, would you like to try some too?â
She shook her head, âYou all go ahead, Iâve already tried it when I took it off the stove.â
âHow does it taste?â Shopkeeper Duan asked, lifting his chopsticks.
No one answered him.
Tao Meijiao, Jin Xun, and Xiao Yuchuan initially ate slowly, but their pace picked up as they continued.
âIs it really that amazingâ¦â Shopkeeper Duan also used his chopsticks to take a bite, and was surprised, âIt really is delicious! I never thought that dried fern could be made into such a variety of dishes with so many flavors!â
Only he continued to praise the dishes, while the others kept eating more and more without even realizing it. Shopkeeper Duan worried that he might miss out on some, so he grabbed a plate and wolfed it down, not caring about his appearance. Even Tao Meijiao, despite being a lady, couldnât resist devouring the food.
In no time, the eight dishes were all gone, devoured by the four of them.
Having had their fill, Shopkeeper Duan, Jin Xun, Xiao Yuchuan, and Tao Meijiao all wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs they pulled from their pockets. All except Xiao Yuchuan of course.
Seeing this, Su Qingyue couldnât help but feel that people in ancient times, regardless of gender, always carried a handkerchief in their pockets.
âWife of the Xiao Family, I never thought your cooking skills were so goodâ¦â Shopkeeper Duan said, âWhy donât you come work as a chef in my Rich Source Tavern? Iâll pay you double the wages.â
âAre you serious? Double the wages?!â Tao Meijiao scoffed, âIf Xiao Yue is willing to be a chef at my Rich Source Tavern, Iâll not only pay her but treat her like a goddess.â
