Chapter 53: Shouldn’t you reward me, your husband, tonight?
"Master Li, who was originally scheduled to host the birthday banquet, was involved in a traffic accident yesterday and is now recuperating in the hospital.

The chef for today's birthday banquet is indeed a new chef we replaced, but..."

Just as the noisy discussion was about to start, Jiang Mengyan suddenly raised her voice and suppressed it:
“But fellow villagers, a chef’s reputation is important, but isn’t the food that goes into our mouths more important?

Whether a dish or a banquet is good or not, only after eating it can you be qualified to judge.

I know that many of you here are looking forward to Master Li’s cooking skills. Some of you will definitely be disappointed that he cannot cook due to injury.

But I can guarantee that even though Chef Li is not here today, everyone will still enjoy their meal here."

As soon as Jiang Mengyan finished speaking, the voice of Sister Lin Er was heard from behind her at the right time:
"Come on, let's make way. Let's start serving the food."

Everyone was excited and looked over quickly.

The first thing that came up was the braised crispy pork.

The fried, fluffy and plump crispy meat is covered with a rich sauce and sprinkled with shredded coriander as garnish.

This is a common dish at banquets, but it also tests the chef's skills.

The quality of the crispy meat paste, the thickness of the batter, the frying temperature and the softness and hardness of the crispy skin, the thickness and seasoning of the sauce will directly affect the quality of the dish.

The big bowl of braised crispy pork that just came up deserves full marks for both its color and aroma.

Especially the tempting aroma that keeps wafting in the air, which makes people salivate before they even pick up their chopsticks.

"Now that the food is served, why don't you try it and see if it's really as bad as some people say."

Before Jiang Mengyan finished her words, some anxious children had already grabbed the spoon and scooped it into the big bowl.

“This tastes amazing!”

"It's delicious! My family has invited Master Li twice. I've tried his braised crispy pork, and this is just as good as his!"

"Mom, mom, I want to eat more, I want to eat more"

"Qiuhong, where did your family hire such a new chef? Please introduce him to our family. My grandson will hold a hundred-day banquet in two months, and I would also like to invite this chef from your family."

"Can we ask this chef to come out and show his face? We can add his contact information."

Many people gathered around and wanted to ask Zhao Qiuhong for the contact information of the mysterious chef. Zhao Qiuhong was so scared that she quickly protected Jiang Mengyan beside her, fearing that she would be squeezed because she was pregnant.

“Dear fellow villagers, don’t worry, just enjoy this banquet.

When all the dishes are served, I will ask the chef to come out and meet everyone, so please be patient. "

Jiang Mengyan said with a smile.

After hearing this, the chaotic crowd calmed down a little.

Everyone sat back at their seats, enjoying the delicious dishes that were served one by one, while chatting with each other about the mysterious chef invited by the neighbor to save the day and the professor's daughter-in-law with a strong aura.

The only person who ignored Liu Erjia, who wanted to add fuel to the fire for the second time but failed, was left alone.

"Xiao Yan, we have prepared two separate tables for our family. You have been busy all morning. Go and take a rest and have something to eat."

Zhao Qiuhong took Jiang Mengyan's arm and spoke with concern.

"Sister Qiu, I'm not hungry. Besides, Lin Han is the busiest and most tired right now. I'll go see him and eat with him when he's done."

Jiang Mengyan shook her head and smiled.

Walking to the cooking area, Lin Han and several kitchen apprentices were busy working.

There were two large stoves with high flames, each with an extremely large iron pot on top, in which a dozen spicy stewed fish were bubbling.

Lin Han wore a mask and paid close attention to the temperature on both sides, working left and right.

Although it is still a bit cold in early spring, I am busy and sweating profusely.

Jiang Mengyan felt very distressed when she saw this.

Seeing more than twenty fish being served on plates, Lin Han was finally able to stop and take a breath.

When I raised my eyes, I saw Jiang Mengyan standing beside me.

"Why didn't you go over to eat? What are you doing here?
The fire in this stove is very strong, be careful or you will get burned." Lin Han quickly walked around and asked.

"You are busy here, how can I eat there? I came to see you."

Jiang Mengyan took out a cotton towel and gently wiped the sweat from Lin Han's forehead and temples.

"I can't help you much, I can only wipe your sweat."

“Seeing you is my biggest motivation.

Lin Han smiled and gently pinched Jiang Mengyan's little face.

"What do people think of the food over there?"

"They all said it was delicious. Many people even said your cooking was better than that of Master Li."

Jiang Mengyan stole a glance at Master Li's apprentice and whispered in Lin Han's ear in a low voice.

"It's not that exaggerated. How can my skills compare to those of the master chefs who have been working for decades? Just give me some face, folks."

Lin Han smiled and shook his head.

"Anyway, I promised them that you have to show up after you finish cooking. Otherwise, those villagers who are waiting to get the contact information of you, the mysterious chef, will eat me and Sister Qiu alive."

Jiang Mengyan made a face and smiled playfully:
"Come on, hubby! I'll go over there and wait for you to finish your work so we can eat together."

"Good~"

Lin Han smiled and nodded, and only reacted belatedly when he returned to the stove.

Did Jiang Mengyan call her husband just now?
Grandma Lin’s birthday banquet ended successfully with an impressive record of adding 10 tables temporarily.

If Lin Han and several apprentices hadn't prepared enough food, there might not have been enough to supply them in the end.

The Lin family was naturally very satisfied with this result.

Among them, the ones with the brightest faces were Lin Guodong and Zhao Qiuhong.

My own son saved the day at my mother's birthday party, made great contributions, and brought back a beautiful daughter-in-law who is a professor. It makes me so proud no matter how I think about it.

Although the feast was at noon, it was already dark for a long time after all the work was done.

"Today is the happiest birthday I've ever had in my life."

Grandma Lin smiled and looked at Lin Han and Jiang Mengyan who were standing beside them:

"I should praise you two, but Xiaohan started working at three or four in the morning and has been busy all day, and he hasn't had a break yet.

The good granddaughter-in-law was also busy all day while pregnant.

I won’t talk about anything tonight. You two should have a good rest. I will praise you two at our family dinner tomorrow.”

After saying that, he pushed and shoved Lin Han and Jiang Mengyan upstairs and let them have a good rest.

After washing up, the two got into bed.

Jiang Mengyan thought that Lin Han had worked hard all day and wanted him to rest early, but Lin Han obviously didn't want to do that.

"Meng Yan."

"Ok?"

"Did you call me husband at noon today?"

".Just, just call me."

"It sounds good. I like it."

Lin Han leaned close to Jiang Mengyan's ear and exhaled a hot breath with a strong scent of male hormones:

"Call me more~ You've worked so hard today, shouldn't you reward me, your husband, tonight?"
