Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 25 Shameless

Ye Jiayao wrapped the pork and chive dumplings, cooked them in a pot, prepared the dipping sauce, and asked Peng Wu to send them to the second and first bosses first, and then cook Chunyu's. She was still angry and was too lazy to call him. Song Qi got this opportunity to flatter him and happily ran to call the third boss to eat dumplings.

In the past, it was Ye Jiayao who would yell at him to eat every time, but today it was Song Qi who called him instead, and Xia Chunyu was a little uncomfortable with it.

Ye Jiayao put the dumplings on a plate and placed it on the stove, and Song Qile happily took it over.

"Third Master, look at how beautiful the dumplings my sister-in-law made are. They taste even better. They are stuffed with cabbage and pork. Eat them while they are hot."

Xia Chunyu was about to eat, but when he heard him say that, he glanced at him. Isn't that nonsense? Aren't you just about to eat?

Looking at the woman again, she was busy in front of the stove. Even when she turned around, she didn't even look in his direction, and it was clear that she was ignoring him.

You are so petty. He didn't say anything. Is there any need to be angry?
The dumplings were neatly arranged on the plate. Each dumpling was of uniform size, with six folds and round like half a small bun. The dumpling skin was crystal clear and you could vaguely see the color of the mushrooms and pork inside. It was like a crystal steamed dumpling, very tempting.

A bite, the filling oozes out delicious soup, the mouth is full of oil, the cabbage is refreshing, the pork is tender and fragrant, the salty and sweet taste is appropriate, the authentic Jiangnan flavor. Xia Chunyu is really impressed, it seems that there is nothing she can't do, as if any ordinary material can be made into a delicious dish by her hands.

"Come and eat too." This was the first time Xia Chunyu took the initiative to invite her to eat.

Ye Jiayao pretended not to hear and continued to work.

Xia Chunyu frowned in dissatisfaction. This woman was too pretentious.

Song Qi chuckled and said, "Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang will come over to eat dumplings later. Sister-in-law is still making their portion."

Xia Chunyu had no choice but to continue eating dumplings.

"Third Boss, Third Boss, something big has happened..." Peng Wu ran in in a panic.

He laughed and said, "Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang will come over to eat dumplings later. Sister-in-law is still making their portion."

Xia Chunyu was calm and composed, as if facing a disaster. He said, "Straighten your tongue and speak."

Peng Wu is from Shanxi. He usually rolls his tongue when he speaks, and it rolls even more when he gets anxious.

"Third boss, the spy has been caught and the first boss is interrogating him. You'd better go over quickly." Peng Wu said.

Xia Chunyu stuffed a dumpling in his mouth, was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "Really? Who is it?"

"It's a brother from the Seventh Battalion named Tong Hexiang."

Xia Chunyu put down his chopsticks, still chewing dumplings, and stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Song Qi said: "I'll go too."

There's something exciting going on, so why not watch it?
All of a sudden, everyone left. Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes in anger. When they came back, the dumplings were cold. The reheated dumplings were not as delicious as the ones fresh out of the pot. Didn’t she work in vain for half a day?

But on second thought, if the spy was really caught, it would mean Chunyu's suspicion could be cleared and the Dragon-Breaking Stone could be reopened. In comparison, a plate of dumplings was nothing.

Not long after, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang came.

"Where is the third in command?" Uncle Jiang looked around and asked.

Ye Jiayao curled her lips and said, "Halfway through the meal, he said that they caught a spy, and the boss asked him to come over."

Uncle Jiang looked a little strange, as if he was surprised: "Did you catch him?"

"That being said, I don't know how many people they have arrested in the past few days, but no one admitted to it, and in the end, the case was left unresolved. This is probably a misunderstanding." Ye Jiayao disagreed.

Uncle Jiang smiled awkwardly: "That's true."

"Ignore them, let's eat our own food. Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, do you guys like the rice stem and pork stuffing?" Ye Jiayao asked. The leek dish was reserved by Peng Wu, and Song Qi and Chunyu both wanted the cabbage and pork stuffing, so the only thing left was the rice stem and pork stuffing.

Uncle Jiang said, "I can do anything. Everything Third Madam cooks tastes good."

Aunt Jiang said with a smile: "That's right. Compared with Third Madam's cooking skills, what Old Yu made can only be called pig food."

Last time, Aunt Jiang offended Old Yu and the aunts in the kitchen in order to make the Third Madam proud. In addition, Old Yu's qualification to cook for the Second In Command was taken away by the Third Madam. Old Yu became more and more dissatisfied with her, and they got along very unpleasantly. If she hadn't been strong and sturdy, she would have suffered a lot. She had no good feelings towards those people.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "Old Yu's stewed food is pretty good."

"That's still not as good as you." Aunt Jiang said.

Chunyu and the others were gone for more than an hour before they came back. Ye Jiayao was lying on the couch with her eyes closed. When she heard they were back, she got up and made them something to eat.

This is her job, and she has to do it well even if she is reluctant, especially when she meets such an unreliable idiot.

Peng Wu's portion was cooked for him before it was even put into the pot. Chunyu and Song Qi's portions were already cold, so Ye Jiayao switched to a frying pan to make fried dumplings. The three of them sat around the table and continued to discuss the spy.

"I didn't expect Tong Hexiang to admit it." Song Qi sighed, "I really can't believe it! I played double buckle with him and won a lot of money from him."

Peng Wu said: "He sneaked down the mountain and was caught, so what can he say? The boss hasn't tortured him yet!"

"But the boss said that as long as he confessed the truth, he would be spared and given a lighter sentence. As a result, he was beheaded on the spot." Song Qi muttered. This is considered as an inducement to confess! If you escape from the mountain without permission, you will be beaten with a hundred sticks, which is equivalent to a capital crime.

"Third Master, what do you think?" Peng Wu asked.

Xia Chunyu pondered for a long time: "I hope it is him, so that the crisis of the village can be resolved."

No one knew better than him whether Tong Hexiang was a spy, but he actually confessed. When the boss beheaded Tong Hexiang, the look of horror and disbelief in Tong Hexiang's eyes seemed to blame the boss for not keeping his word. Was he really stupid? Was he so stupid that he thought he could survive by admitting that he was a spy? Could it be that the boss had discussed it with him beforehand, so Tong Hexiang was so surprised and unwilling to die?

Could this be a trap set by the boss to make the real spy think that the crisis has been resolved and then relax his vigilance and take action?

This is not impossible, otherwise, the boss should follow the clues and interrogate him to find out whether he has accomplices, how he is connected with the court, etc. However, the boss killed the man without asking any details.

"The boss has already announced it to the entire village, how could it be false?" said Peng Wu.

Xia Chunyu sighed: "I am worried that Feng Chaolin is colluding with the court and will take action soon."

Ye Jiayao had been listening with her ears perked up. Puff... the water in the pot boiled and overflowed.

Ye Jiayao quickly opened the lid of the pot and took out the dumplings.

"Peng Wu, your dumplings are ready."

Peng Wu glanced at the Third Master. How could he eat first when the Third Master hadn't eaten yet? He said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not hungry. You can cook for the Third Master first."

Ye Jiayao didn't care whether he wanted to eat it or not. She added a small spoonful of water to the frying pan, covered the pot and simmered it for a while. Then the fried dumplings with shiny orange skin and fragrant aroma came out of the pan.

"It's all ready, come and get it yourself." Ye Jiayao took off her apron, finished her work, and left the kitchen without forgetting to remind her: "Clean up the kitchen after you finish eating."

Damn it, I'm going to start teaching you grown men a lesson. If you want to eat the food I cook, you'd better behave yourself.

The three grown men looked at each other. Peng Wu was confused. His sister-in-law seemed to be a little bit strange today. Song Qi had a general idea, but only Xia Chunyu knew that the dead woman's expression was for him.

"I'll get it, I'll get it." Song Qi was afraid that the Third In Command was going to have a fit, and the Third In Command's face was so dark that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

We had lunch at this time and were all starving. We thought the dumplings were particularly delicious, especially the fried dumplings, which had a crispy and yellow skin and a particularly fragrant taste. The three of us wolfed them down and ate until we patted our bellies.

Song Qi and Peng Wu cleaned up the mess. Xia Chunyu went back to his room, thinking as he walked, should he coax her? But, he was right? Didn't he just not answer her question and asked another question? Women are hard to talk to.

Before she could figure out what to do, she saw Ye Jiayao holding Dabao and Erbao playing on the couch. She couldn't help but frowned: "Didn't I tell you not to bring them in?"

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and ignored him. She did this on purpose to see what he could do to her. She was in a bad mood anyway, so he couldn't expect to feel comfortable.

Xia Chunyu stared at the rabbit's butt nervously, afraid that the rabbit would pee and poop on the couch again.

"Take them away quickly." Seeing that she was indifferent, Xia Chunyu shouted impatiently.

The two little rabbits shivered when they were yelled at, and they clung to Ye Jiayao's legs obediently, looking at Xia Chunyu anxiously. Ye Jiayao touched Dabao and Erbao and said softly, "Be good, don't be afraid, he just has a loud voice, he won't do anything to you."

"Ye Jinxuan..." Xia Chunyu could no longer bear it. She was getting more and more presumptuous. Was she turning a deaf ear to his words? She was not even willing to pretend to obey or to give him a perfunctory response?

"Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf." Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at him.

"So you are not deaf. I thought you were deaf. Didn't you hear what I said?" Xia Chunyu said with a dark face.

"I heard you, but why should I listen to you? Are you nice to me? In your eyes, am I not just a cook, a washerwoman, a person who warms your bed and a toy that can be discarded at any time? Since you don't take me seriously, don't demand such high standards from me." Ye Jiayao said expressionlessly.

Xia Chunyu was furious: "Don't be so shameless!"

Bullshit, Ye Jiayao cursed in her heart. This sentence really touched her reverse scale. Damn, she couldn't help but get angry today. She raised her chin and looked at him, smiling coldly: "Did you give me face? Just this stinky face? Whoever likes it can take it, I don't care."

"Ye Jinxuan, my patience is limited." Xia Chunyu gritted his teeth. This woman was still making trouble.

"My patience is limited. Do you really think I'm a bitch who comes and goes at will and keeps trying to please others? Even if you don't want to endure it anymore, I can't endure it anymore! What, are you going to chase me away or strangle me to death? Come on, come on..." Ye Jiayao straightened her neck and raised her chin higher, not willing to be outdone.

Who said that when a couple quarrels for the first time, they should either not quarrel at all, or if they do quarrel, they must win, quarrel with all their might, and completely overwhelm the other party? Anyway, they can't count on him in the future, so they should take advantage of this time when he is in the wrong to vent their anger.
