Chapter 16

After Su Wan spent more than an hour painstakingly rearranging the house, the main room, and the kitchen, everything was ready, only the “east wind” was missing.

After resting for half an hour, there was a knock on the door.

“Wanwan, it’s me, open the door.”

It was He Nanfeng’s voice. Su Wan stood up, patted her waist, and went to open the door.

“Squeak~”

After unbolting the door, she saw a pile of things on the ground.

Oh my god, where did He Nanfeng go to “rob”?

How did you get so much food?

There was also the kettle she specifically requested, but she hadn’t considered the wooden basin and ladle.

Suddenly, she smelled a familiar fragrance.

“What are you holding in your hand?”

“Oh, this is a fruit an old lady gave me. It’s jackfruit, a specialty of the island. It’s very sweet. I’ll peel it for you later.”

The hair on He Nanfeng’s forehead was soaked, and he was panting a little while speaking.

Yes, even though the weight of so many things is acceptable, it is not an easy task to carry them around the village.

“You go inside and sit down to rest for a while, and I’ll take care of the ingredients.”

Seeing this, Su Wan nodded and offered to help carry some things.

As a result, well, she is useless and can’t lift it!

He Nanfeng couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips in laughter, then pursed his lips, suppressed his smile, and spoke to save the situation:

“Let me do it. I’ll carry the things into the yard. You take charge of the ingredients and I’ll handle them. You can be the head chef, okay?”

“good.”

Su Wan’s face was burning with anxiety, and she silently picked up a lightweight kettle…

“I borrowed some bills from my roommate. I’ll pay him back next month when the bills are issued.”

“It’s difficult to leave the island now. I got the ticket and exchanged it with fellow villagers in the village for food and other things.”

“The villagers are very kind-hearted. They exchanged these grains for me for now. There are flour, rice, sweet potato flour, and ten eggs.”

“I borrowed the oil from Village Chief Jiang’s family in an oil bottle. It contains a pound of oil. I have a day off tomorrow, so I’ll take you on a boat trip to the other side to buy some things. I’ll also buy a barrel of oil while I’m there, and you can return some to Village Chief Jiang’s family later.”

He Nanfeng was very careful. He didn’t even take a rest himself. He opened the things he had exchanged for one by one and explained to his fiancée what they were.

Seafood includes tiger crab, giant clams, Spanish mackerel and conch.

He didn’t dare change too much, fearing that his fiancée wouldn’t know how to handle it. He even asked someone how to handle it.

In such hot weather, these seafoods will become smelly and spoil if they are not handled in time.

Su Wan nodded as she listened.

Wow, that’s amazing.

If He Nanfeng were to live in modern times, he would definitely be a social hero.

Also, she felt that since she lived on an island, seafood and fruits would definitely be available freely.

It’s okay to have seafood as the main dish in the short term, but it’s not a good idea in the long term. Be careful of heartburn and colds!

Later she would have to buy some seeds and clear an area in the yard to grow some vegetables, or find a suitable opportunity on the other side of the river to stockpile some vegetables, otherwise she really wouldn’t be able to hold on.

As with any food, too much is as bad as too little.

It is okay to consume in moderation, but don’t overeat!

“Okay, I’ve got it all. You go and rest. I’ll leave the kitchen to you. I’ll call you when the meal is ready.”

“Okay, call me if you need anything.”

He Nanfeng thought about it and decided to respect his fiancée.

If his fiancée can’t handle it, he will come and help.

Next is Su Wan’s personal cooking show time——

She accidentally found the knife from the top when she was moving the cabinet. When she found it, it was covered with rust.

After her unremitting efforts in polishing it, it is now shiny and gleaming with a cold light.

An hour later—

A fresh and fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen. He Nanfeng’s nose moved slightly as he sniffed the aroma. Now his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

There is no doubt that my fiancée is a good cook.

From now on, he will have a good meal.

After wiping the dining table with a rag, he looked forward to it, waiting for his fiancée’s order to serve the dishes.

“Nanfeng~ The food is ready, come and serve it.”

Just when his stomach was about to growl, he finally heard his fiancée’s call.

“Here I come~”

The smell of fireworks, he will soon be able to start a new family with his fiancée!

“Without onions or garlic, I can only use the rice wine I brought to remove the fishy smell. Try it first and see if it suits your taste.”

Su Wan set out the bowls and chopsticks and served the other person a bowl of rice.

Then he poured himself half a bowl of rice and sat down while talking.

“Thank you for your hard work. It smells delicious and goes really well with rice!”

Even before he tasted it, He Nanfeng was already captivated by its appearance and aroma.

He first picked up a piece of boneless fish from the belly of the Spanish mackerel and put it into his fiancee’s bowl, then started to pick up meat from the tail and tasted it.

As soon as he put the fish into his mouth, he tasted the difference.

In the past, he always ate in the cafeteria. Anyone who has eaten in the cafeteria knows that the food is all stewed in one pot, and it doesn’t matter whether you taste good or not or whether you are used to it.

There is no need to mention the fishy smell, the smell of sea fish is the strongest.

The fish cooked by my fiancée didn’t have any fishy smell at all.

How is this done?

He picked up another piece of fish. Really, it wasn’t his illusion, nor was there something wrong with his taste buds.

It’s true, the fish doesn’t smell fishy anymore!

“What’s wrong? Not to your taste?”

Su Wan looked at He Nanfeng in confusion. She shouldn’t have missed, right?

In the past, the freshest ingredients were cooked using the simplest cooking methods.

Seafood, seafood, I hope she did nothing wrong in removing the fishy smell.

“No, it’s delicious, very delicious!”

He Nanfeng shook his head and ate with big mouthfuls.

The fish is delicious!

It was the most delicious fish he had eaten in all these years!

After eating the fish cooked by his fiancée, he never wanted to eat fish cooked by the cafeteria chef again!

“If it’s delicious, eat more. There are other dishes. I don’t know how the chefs on the island prepare them, so I’ll cook them this way. If you like it, I’ll cook them for you this way in the future.”

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was impressed by her cooking skills.

Great, my confidence in conquering He Nanfeng has increased by another +1!

“Okay, but cooking every day is too tiring for you. If there’s anything I can do, just tell me.”

He Nanfeng is not a man who only knows how to ask for things. He has been accustomed to the loving daily life of his grandparents since he was a child. After being taken in by his parents, he has also seen how his father is a good husband.

Housework is never the wife’s sole responsibility.

Unfortunately, given the current situation and the fact that they are on an island, his level of status does not allow him to openly hire a nanny.

Otherwise, he would rather spend more money to hire a nanny to do the housework and let his wife do what she likes.

Thinking of this, he made a secret decision in his heart.

He should work hard to move up to the position of regimental commander, brigade commander, and when he reaches a level that qualifies him to hire a nanny, he can let his wife relax!

“I’ve loved cooking since I was a kid, so I even found a master to teach me the craft. However, the rules are very strict now, and my master…”

Speaking of this, Su Wan felt a little depressed.

I don’t know if this is a parallel universe or just a small world in a book.

According to the time calculation, her master was only in his twenties at that time, but due to some special reasons, he was reported and sent to the countryside, where he suffered a lot…
