"Mrs. Dong also has good intentions."

Judging from Concubine Dong's attitude, it's likely she won't be able to stop it today. Jiang Fugui smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble Concubine Dong with today's dinner. Shanying, take Concubine Dong to see if there's anything missing in the kitchen."

Jiang Fugui first thanked Aunt Dong, and then gave instructions to Shanying.

When Jiang Zihai saw that he couldn't go to the restaurant, his happiness immediately diminished by three points. Anyway, he couldn't help much, so he chose to go and have fun by himself.

"Don't leave your second sister's yard, do you hear me?"

Aunt Dong followed Shanying to the small kitchen and gave Jiang Zihai some instructions, fearing that he would run around alone and be caught by Jiang Weishi, who would inevitably plot against him again.

"I know. I won't leave the yard."

Jiang Zihai pointed to the chicken and duck pen not far away: "It's right there!"

When Aunt Dong saw Jiang Zihai's position, she let him go out to play and followed Shan Ying to the kitchen.

Jiang Fugui was curious about what dishes Aunt Dong would cook, so he followed her. Shantu then took the initiative to stay in the yard to look after Jiang Zihai.

Shanying led Aunt Dong to the small kitchen. In one corner, there were several small water tanks filled with fish, shrimps, and fat little loaches. On the other side, on the wooden shelf, there were many seasonal vegetables and fruits, as well as pork, beef, and mutton.

The chickens and ducks are all in the pen and can be caught and slaughtered immediately.

After looking through all the seasonings again, Aunt Dong gave Xianggui some instructions, asking her to get the missing seasonings from their courtyard.

"Second Miss, is there any flavor you don't like? Or any ingredient you can't eat?"

"Not really. When I was at the farm, I ate whatever was available, so I wasn't very picky about food."

"Okay." Aunt Dong rolled up her sleeves and picked up a carp from the small water tank. "Then let's make braised carp."

She threw the fish into the wooden basin, then scooped up a large spoonful of shrimp with a ladle: "And another shrimp wrapped in egg."

After finishing, Aunt Dong asked Jiang Fugui, "Stir-fried clams? Tofu with scallions? Candied tomatoes? Braised pork with eggplant? Braised pork with red sauce, Miss? For soup, chicken stew? For vegetables, stir-fried bamboo shoots and artemisia? Would you like some lotus root dumplings with glutinous rice?"

In a short while, Aunt Dong listed the names of the dishes, which were probably about ten dishes and one soup.

"Would you like some wonton stew and dumplings?"

Aunt Dong felt that a lot of dishes kept popping up in her mind, and she wanted to cook a little of everything. No matter what, they were all things that Jiang Fugui had rarely eaten.

At this time, Jiang Fugui was like a child who had never eaten anything. Every time Aunt Dong said something, she agreed and never refused.

"No, no, no, for the more complicated ones, let's pick a time tomorrow. I'm afraid it's too late at this time today. Some of the ingredients need to be marinated in advance."

Aunt Dong removed two complicated ones and replaced them with two less time-consuming ones. After preparing the dishes, she started to cook. When Xianggui came back with the things, she started to cook officially, and Xianggui helped her.

For a moment, the small kitchen was filled with fragrance. As Jiang Fugui smelled it, he felt hungry.

Not to mention Jiang Fugui being hungry, even Jiang Zihai, who was playing, quickly became hungry. He sniffed the aroma and rushed to the kitchen. He stood at the door with half of his head exposed, swallowing his saliva and asking, "Mother, how long will it take?"

"It's almost done. Just hold on a little longer. The soup will be ready in a moment, and then we can start eating. Second Miss, go wash your hands first and get ready to take your seat."
