Chapter 29

In fact, when everyone saw with their own eyes that Su Wan could use a kitchen knife to carve those ordinary ingredients into lifelike and gorgeous flowers, everyone present couldn’t help but widen their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

Although these flowers were simply carved from food materials, in the eyes of the military wives who witnessed the entire process, the simple head was a masterpiece of ingenuity!

One of the military wives couldn’t help but exclaimed:

“Sister-in-law, look at your amazing knife skills. They’re incredibly skilled! Did you learn it before?”

Hearing this, Su Wan smiled slightly, nodded gently and replied:

“Yes, Mrs. Xu. Actually, there’s a famous cook living near my mother’s house.

It’s said that her ancestors were imperial chefs! When I was little, I loved pestering her, and over time, she taught me some cooking techniques and tips.

It’s just that, maybe because I’m a bit dull, I’ve only learned a little bit of the basics so far. I’m really sorry to make you sisters-in-law laugh!”

Although Su Wan spoke very modestly, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that her cooking skills must be extraordinary.

After all, it takes time to master such exquisite knife skills. It is impossible to achieve this level without long-term hard practice.

And because of this, everyone admires her cooking skills even more.

Perhaps it is because of this exhibition that she will gain unexpected benefits in the future!

For example, maybe one day someone will come to her and ask her to be the chef?

Or maybe an organization will take a fancy to her cooking talent and offer her a job…

Who knows?

At this time, another military wife took over and said:

“Oh, sister-in-law, don’t be so modest! Just looking at your knife skills, anyone would think that you have learned more than just the basics.

Our Xiao He is truly blessed. Not only has he married a beautiful woman like you, but he also has such a talented cook by his side. His life must be so comfortable!”

Mrs. Xu was so surprised that her mouth was wide open. She stared at the carrot flower that had just been carved by her brother and sister-in-law, as if it were under a spell. She held it carefully in her hands, fearing that she would accidentally damage this exquisite work of art.

She couldn’t help but praise:

“Oh my, this is so beautiful! The head looks exactly like the real thing, so lifelike!”

When the other military wives heard Mrs. Xu’s admiration, they all came over to find out what was going on.

When they saw the carrot flower, they couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

Originally, these military wives were worried before they came, fearing that Xiao He, the newly married wife in the military camp, would not be able to handle the kitchen work alone.

After all, we are all experienced people and know that it is not an easy task to take care of the food and daily life of a family.

However, the exquisite carrot flowers before them completely dispelled their concerns. It seemed that their previous worries were completely unnecessary.

“Sister-in-law, since you are a good cook, we won’t show off our skills. We will help you. Just do whatever you say.”

“Yes, yes, since my sister-in-law can handle seafood, then we can help prepare the chicken, duck, fish and meat. I’ll let my sister-in-law cook the seafood, so that we don’t end up wasting the seafood by cooking it badly.”

“I agree.”

“I agree.”

The military wives all agreed and then got busy.

Boil water to scald chicken feathers, kill chickens and ducks, scrape fish scales…

Su Wan quickly became friends with the military wives and shared her tips on how to handle seafood, reduce the fishy smell, and remove the fishy smell without holding back.

The military wives are all kind-hearted. At the beginning, perhaps because of Xiao He, everyone was polite to Su Wan, their sister-in-law, and treated her as one of their own.

Now, everyone has been infected by the character and open-minded nature of this brother-in-law, and their attitude towards each other will only become more intimate in the future.

When He Nanfeng was carrying his luggage home, he saw his sisters-in-law playing with his wife.

“Wow, my sister-in-law is amazing. She’s become familiar with the military wives so quickly.”

Liu Yunfei was holding Lao He’s basin and a thermos, and was a little stunned when he saw this scene.

As a friend of women, he often relied on his handsome face to hang around in the family compound and eat for free.

I have seen many military wives who are not in harmony with each other and have ulterior motives, but this is the first time I have seen such a harmonious scene.

“Humph, my wife is naturally the best. Well, don’t be idle. Put down your things and go out to collect firewood.”

He Nanfeng snorted coldly and gave his good brother a look of disdain.

No wonder you don’t have a partner yet. It’s because you talk too much.

Liu Yunfei thought he was very charming and dashing and shook the loose hair on his forehead. Just wait and see, he will find a beautiful partner who can cook and has good interpersonal relationships!

……

One pot was obviously not enough to meet the needs of cooking, so Mrs. Xu hurried back to the family compound. She was thinking about bringing over her own stove and pot that she was familiar with.

This trip back and forth took quite a while, and by the time the food was almost cooked, the clock had already pointed to five o’clock in the afternoon.

At this moment, a unique seafood aroma drifted out from the kitchen slowly, and quickly spread to the entire yard as if it had wings.

“Dad, it smells so good!”

Zhou Xiaojun, who was sitting on his father’s shoulders, was the first to shout. He sniffed and waved his little hands, his excitement beyond words.

“Dad, what is my beautiful sister burning? Why does it smell so good?”

Zheng Xiaohu, the son of Mrs. Zhang, also shouted, his big round eyes looking curiously towards the kitchen.

Wang Anan, the daughter of Mrs. Pan, blinked her big watery eyes and said in a delicate voice:

“Mom, I want to eat the shrimp cooked by my beautiful sister~”

Hearing the children’s shouting one after another, the adults in the yard couldn’t help but smile at each other.

These three children, aged six or seven, had just returned from kindergarten and were picked up by their father to attend the banquet.

They were a little nervous at first, not knowing what kind of person the little aunt their father was talking about.

Will he be cruel to them?

Do you dislike them for eating too much?

Now that I smell the sweet fragrance, all my worries are forgotten.

Mrs. Xu came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands, tapped her son on the forehead, and taught him:

“Don’t be impolite. Don’t call me pretty sister. Call me little aunt.”

“Oh, I see, Mom.”

Zhou Xiaojun covered his forehead with his hands, pursed his lips, and continued to look towards the kitchen. It smelled so good, he wanted to eat it, and his mouth was watering.

The other children also stretched their heads and smelled the fragrance with fascination. What was it?

Smells so good!
