out of my company! My company doesn't need people like you!" 。"Ye Mingjue said coldly," 。Everyone stared at Ye Mingjue in shock. They all refused inwardly, they hadn't done anything, why should they...Since Ye Mingjue got married, he never stayed late at the company again. Ye Qing knew that, but today, Grandpa not only didn't stay late, he actually left early!

"Grandfather, there's still an international conference waiting for you later." Ye Qing tried to persuade her grandfather to stop, to turn back in time, the company needs you!

Ye Mingjue leisurely buttoned his suit jacket, saying in a good mood, "It opens tomorrow."

It's just a small amount of money, he's not in a hurry for a day or two.

Ye Qing pursed her lips, wanting to persuade him further, but was patted on the shoulder by Ye Mingjue.

"Ye Qing, it's about time you got married."

Regret and disdain were evident in her tone.

Ye Qing successfully closed her mouth, silently thinking to herself: Even if I get married, I will still be who I am now. I will never abandon my career for a woman!

When Ye Mingjue arrived home, An Xiaonuan was watching the chef pluck feathers from a chicken.

"Why not just buy the butchered one" she said, looking at him with a touch of pity.

Zhang Ma stood beside her and said, "The difference between them is huge."

When it comes to cooking, Zhang Ma's eyes light up.

However, her excitement wasn't because she liked to eat, but because she liked to cook.

Seeing the look of inquiry on Madam's face, she cleared her throat and said: "This chicken soup may appear simple to make, but choosing the right ingredients is quite crucial."

For example, what breed of chicken should I choose How big should the chicken be What materials would make it taste best

Of these, selecting the chickens is the most important.

Generally, free-range hens are the best, and those that are two and a half to three years old are even better.

This is exactly why I'm going to buy a live chicken back.

"Nowadays, the chickens on the market are getting less and less like real chickens. They all claim to be free-range, but they haven't met me yet, or else I could make them drop their heads in shame in a matter of minutes."

Zhang Ma said this with a sense of pride.

Having been a cook for so many years, and working in such affluent households, she had long since developed a sharp eye. Anything in the kitchen, no matter how well-packaged, would be laid bare under her gaze.

An Xiaonuan was intrigued and asked, "What kind of secret technique Teach me too!"

"You'll know once you see it, sir wouldn't let his wife go to the market, knowing wouldn't do any good anyway!"

Zhang Ma has been with them for so many years, she is already too familiar to be unfamiliar. So now making a few jokes won't surprise anyone.

An Xiaonuan pushed Zhang Ma, acting coquettishly: "Zhang Ma~ just tell me, okay"

Seeing the madam like this, Zhang Ma's face crinkled with a smile as she said, "Alright then, I'll tell you my secret weapon."

First, let's take a look at this chicken's feet. Chickens that have been foraging in the wild for years, their feet are constantly walking through grass and thorns. Exposed to wind and rain, their thighs become black and mottled with scars, unlike those raised in a coop which are white and tender.

Then comes the foot, just like the heels. They walk outside often, rubbing against the ground more than other parts of the body. So they are relatively thick and tough, with most people developing calluses over time.

Then there's the age of the chicken. Similarly, younger chickens haven't been worn down as much and will definitely be smoother than older chickens.

However, this method is not always applicable, so we more often identify them by their ankles.

Just like the rings of a tree, they have symbols of their age on their ankles.

Generally, adult chickens develop distinct toes on their ankles.

A one-year-old chicken's toes are slightly bald, like the tiny heads of newly sprouted mushrooms or enoki mushrooms.

A two-year-old chicken's toes have all grown in, and its head is slightly pointed, resembling a "sixth" finger.

Once a chicken reaches three years old, the head of its legs begins to become bald.

As soon as she finished speaking, the chef on the other side had just finished plucking the chicken.

"Madam, it's ready," the chef told An Xiaonuan.

What are you preparing

An Xiaonuan was just about to leave when she heard Ye Mingjue's voice behind her.

"Honey, you're back!" An Xiaonuan ran over and hugged him, then looked up at him in his arms and said, "I'm preparing to make coconut chicken soup for you."

"Can coconuts be used to make soup" Ye Mingjue involuntarily frowned.

Coconuts are sweet, isn't the soup made from them also sweet

He doesn't like it.

An Xiaonuan saw the look in his eyes and knew exactly what he was thinking. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it won’t be too sweet. I guarantee you’ll want to eat it again after one bite!”

Then, he pushed the person out with his hand: "Go sit down first, I'm going to start cooking."

"Shall I help you" Ye Mingjue asked.

An Xiaonuan waved her hand and said, "No need, no need. I can do it alone. You go ahead."

This is a bribe for you, how can I let you do this

Thus, Ye Mingjue was pushed out by her.

Next up is An Xiaonuan's stage.

The main dish is coconut chicken, but it's impossible to only make one dish, so An Xiaonuan also needs to prepare other ingredients.

First, heat the oil in a pan, then add the ginger slices and white parts of scallions that Zhang Ma has already cut.

After the ginger slices and scallion whites have released their fragrance, add the chicken wings and stir-fry until they turn white. Then pour in the cola and soy sauce.

Cover the pot with a lid.

An Xiaonuan adjusted the heat to medium and then told Zhang Ma, "Just wait until it's absorbed."

Zhang Ma nodded, then stood guard in front of the stove.

Meanwhile, An Xiaonuan was busy with other things.

Next, we're going to prepare coconut chicken soup.

That Coca-Cola chicken wings was just made beforehand to satisfy her cravings. This dish is the first course for today.

Making coconut chicken soup is even simpler than coca cola chicken wings.

The coconut meat and chicken are already chopped, she just needs to boil the water, then pour the coconut water into the pot, and add the shredded coconut and chicken pieces. After the broth boils, simmer over low heat for 3 to 4 hours, and finally season with salt.

An Xiaonuan raised her wrist to look at her watch. It was 4 p.m. now. Calculating the time, it would be around 7 p.m., just right.

After she finished this, she went on to prepare the ingredients for other dishes.

Braised pork belly, milk-flavored buns, candied bananas, shredded meat with Beijing sauce, and one dish of green vegetables.

Four people should be enough, An Xiaonuan thought to herself, leaning on her arm.

Ye Mingjue sat in the living room, watching An Xiaonuan busy herself non-stop. A pampered smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

He could vaguely guess why Nuannuan was doing this, but since Nuannuan didn't say anything, he pretended not to know.

Looking at her putting in so much effort to convince herself, Ye Mingjue didn't know whether to laugh or...laugh.

Actually, he would just go if she said a warm word, but she insists on making all this elaborate preparation. It feels like she's trying too hard to cover something up.

So, when Ye Zi Rui and Ye Zi Yu returned home, they were met with a strange scene.

Father sat on the sofa in the living room, his eyes fixed on the kitchen without blinking, and a doting smile appeared on his face.

Then they followed his gaze.

From their vantage point, they could only see Grandma Zhang standing in the kitchen.

What's wrong Is Dad crazy now Has he gone mad what the result would be.Three children, swept away by the recent joy, went to bed dejectedly one after another.Here, Ye Mingjue sat alone in the same private room from last time, looking at the man...
