In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Don't all women in this world like to marry good men? Why is she different?

"Mr. Pei, I see that you use this steamed meat the most. If you like it, ask Chunshuang to tell you the ingredients later." Su Yueyao said with a smile.

She had been busy talking to Yang Qianxun when she suddenly noticed that Pei Yuqi looked sad and lonely. This feeling was very familiar to her, so she subconsciously used the serving chopsticks to pick up the steamed meat that he ate the most on the table.

"Thank you, Miss Su. Thank you, Miss Su." Pei Yuqi did not expect Su Yueyao to pick up food for him, and said with a hint of panic in his tone.

"You're welcome. I have some recipes for spicy dishes in mind. I'll ask Chunshuang to try and see if she can make them. If she does, I'll send a portion to Mr. Pei." Su Yueyao said casually.

She suddenly thought of some Sichuan dishes, such as Kung Pao Chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork, Maoxuewang, Boiled Pork Slices, Pickled Fish, Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork, etc. She wondered if she could make them, or whether the taste would be the same as modern ones.

"Really? Then I'll wait." Pei Yuqi said with a smile.

Su Yueyao was amazed when she saw Pei Yuqi's smile. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, forming a beautiful arc. His obsidian eyes were full of smiles, and his whole body was sunny and warm, without any of the alienation he had before.

"Ayao, would you like to try this boiled fish?" Yang Qianxun asked immediately when he saw Su Yueyao staring at Pei Yuqi.

For a moment, he wondered if A-Yao was being too friendly when she picked up food for Yu-Qi, and why did he feel that Yu-Qi's eyes looked a little different when she looked at A-Yao?

But when he thought about Yuqi's marriage, he had no right to be the mastermind. There was too much difference between him and Ayao in every aspect, and the possibility was too small. It seemed that he was overthinking it. Ayao probably did this because Yuqi was his friend.

"Okay! Let me try it." Su Yueyao immediately came back to her senses and lowered her head and stopped looking at Pei Yuqi. Was she being infatuated just now? How embarrassing!

After the three of them had dinner, Yang Qianxun personally sent Pei Yuqi out of the house.

Su Yueyao was walking in the yard because she was full. Chunshuang stood one step behind her. Su Yueyao told Chunshuang about some of the dishes she had just thought of.

"Chun Shuang, do you understand? The chicken pieces need to be marinated before frying, so that they will be more flavorful, and then they are fried."

"My lady, I understand that the chicken should be marinated for a while in advance, but what do you mean by stir-frying?" Chunshuang asked in confusion, bending over.

"Stir-fry?" That's it. Stir-frying doesn't seem to be very popular here. Most people cook by boiling or stewing. The woks used for frying are probably made of iron, but iron is controlled by the government. Ordinary people are lucky to have an iron machete at most.

“…”Su Yueyao paused and didn’t say anything.

Even if there is a pot, what about the oil? Should I use lard? Her head suddenly hurts a little...

"I'm thinking about this recipe. You go down first!" Su Yueyao said with a sigh.

What she needs to consider first is how to make the iron pot. She doesn’t know whether the blacksmith shop under the government’s jurisdiction can make it.

"Okay, my lady. I'll go down first." Chunshuang bowed and retreated.

Chunshuang stepped back and prepared to go to the kitchen. He knew today that the lady preferred spicy dishes, so he would need to adjust the meal combinations in the future.

"My servant greets my master." Chunshuang just walked out of the yard and saw Yang Qianxun coming over and immediately saluted.

"Does the lady have any arrangements?"

"My lord, the lady wanted to cook a dish. I understood half of it, but not the other half. The lady asked me to go down first." Chunshuang said truthfully.

"What is it that you don't understand?"

"My Lady asked me to marinate the chicken and then fry it. I don't know what frying means."

"Fried?" Yang Qianxun asked with some confusion.

"I'll ask clearly. Prepare some spicy dishes for meals in the future. Also, don't let anyone know that the lady likes spicy dishes. You'll be in charge of the kitchen and shopping. Do you understand?"

"I know, my lord, don't worry." Chunshuang said.

"Well, let's get down!"

After Chunshuang left, Yang Qianxun went directly to the yard to find Su Yueyao.

When Yang Qian found the yard, Su Yueyao was sitting on a stone bench and sighing.

It seems that it is very difficult to make the same food as modern food. It is not easy at all. We can only wait for the opportunity in the future! I have seen a joke before, saying that many foods were not available in ancient times, and it was good enough to be alive.

She wanted to say that what was said in the joke was true. It was indeed difficult to taste the same flavor as modern stir-fried dishes here! She might not be able to gather many of the seasonings, and she was afraid that they were not available here at all.

"Ayao, can you tell me about the dish you want to cook? Is it difficult for you? That's why you sigh like that." Yang Qianxun sat next to her and asked with a smile.

"Qianqian, I want to make a round pot like this with iron. Are ironwares strictly controlled by the court?" Su Yueyao said while gesturing.

"Ironware is strictly controlled by the imperial court. If you just want to make a knife for cutting vegetables, you can go to the county government's exclusive blacksmith shop and get it made with your household registration. But if you want more than that, you need the county government's approval before making it."

"Okay then, I think I need to change my thinking about the dishes I want to cook." Su Yueyao said resignedly after hearing this.

"Whatever A Yao wants to eat, you can ask Chun Shuang to try to cook it. He has been practicing cooking since he was a child." Yang Qianxun said with a smile without asking any more questions.

Some things should be said when A Yao wants to say them! He did not specifically ask her what stir-fry meant, including the so-called round pot, as long as A Yao could accompany him.

"Okay, I know."
