Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

The shop owners were chatting about things they had heard from others. After all, they only ran small shops in the slums and knew very little about what was happening in the upscale districts.

The conversation was getting less and less about the information Qi Yuan wanted, and while he was listening to the gossip, Andrei and Asa had already bought the meat. Because they bought a lot, the shopkeeper was especially enthusiastic in delivering it to them.

With no reason to continue wandering around the city, Qi Yuan suggested taking the delivery cart that the shopkeeper was using to return to the church.

He was the real boss among the three, and Asa and Andrei obeyed his orders unconditionally.

We took a carriage back to the church and went in directly from the back.

After the carriage stopped, the owner helped the three of them unload all the meat.

The children playing in the courtyard looked over curiously when they saw the carriage stop. After the delivery carriage left, Qi Yuan looked at the children not far away and waved for them to come over.

The child was certain that Qi Yuan was calling him, and cautiously approached. "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Where's the kitchen?"

The child's eyes lit up immediately. "Sir, are you donating this meat to the church?"

Occasionally, some merchants in Gangdia would donate meat and money to do good deeds, but none of them were as generous as Qi Yuan, who sent a whole cartload of meat!

The children also knew that someone was bringing meat, which meant that dinner would be plentiful that night.

Qi Yuan nodded in agreement with their wishes, and the children immediately gathered around, showing great enthusiasm to help carry the meat and lead the way.

Lier was in the kitchen processing the vegetables that Qi Yuan had brought over when she heard the children making noise from outside. She was about to tell the children not to play in the kitchen, but when she turned around, she saw Qi Yuan and the others carrying baskets of fish and mutton in. She was stunned and stood there dumbfounded for several minutes.

Seeing baskets of meat placed on the table, he finally reacted and looked at Asha.

"Mr. Asha, you've given us so much food?"

"Yes, let's treat the kids to a good meal today."

Lille looked at the meat and ingredients; according to previous plans, this would feed the church children for a week.

But when Asa said "have a good meal," he had no idea how much of the food would be wasted that day.

At this moment, Qi Yuan took off his heavy coat and scarf, and said, "I'll cook this meal today."

“…Okay.” Asa replied somewhat awkwardly.

But Qi Yuan's words were a notification, not a request, so after he finished speaking, he had already rolled up his sleeves and started preparing the ingredients.

Qi Yuan personally cooked not entirely for the children, but also partly for himself. During the two-day journey, they ate stews and bread, and even the best restaurants in Gangdia didn't serve good food.

His spoiled palate was now in dire need of a meal that suited his taste, so he decided to cook it himself.

Although a lot of money was spent on ingredients, the ingredients in Gangdia were not as plentiful as in Juecheng, and there were only a few kinds of vegetables.

With these ingredients, Qi Yuan could only make fish dumplings and stewed mutton with carrots and potatoes.

Once he had decided what to do, Qi Yuan began to take action.

Asa and Andrei dared not let Qiyuan do it himself, so they naturally joined in as his assistants.

Lille didn't dare watch Asa do it, so she stood aside and watched, and then helped out with the church cooks.

The head chef is Qi Yuan.

Lille also owns a restaurant and considers himself a decent cook, but Qi Yuan's way of handling ingredients really baffled him.

Looking at the amount of ingredients Qi Yuan used, he felt very distressed.

But all I can do is feel sorry for them. Everything they have is bought by others. They can do whatever they want. Even when the food isn't good, they have to force themselves to swallow it and then praise it as delicious.

Under Qi Yuan's arrangement, everyone's work was carried out in a fairly orderly manner.

Hearing that Asa and the others were in the kitchen, Nick also came to join in the fun.

He arrived at the kitchen quite late, and the aroma of stewed mutton and potatoes was already wafting from the pot. This unfamiliar scent piqued his curiosity.

Step into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, everyone was making dumplings. The children who had been playing in the backyard were now sitting at the long table, obediently making dumplings.

Although most of the children weren't very dexterous, the dumplings they made turned out rather strange.

However, they wrap dumplings slowly, and Qi Yuan will make adjustments to their dumplings, so the dumplings that are finally cooked are still presentable.

Nick's eyes quickly found Asa.

Asha had been with Qiyuan for a while and already knew how to make dumplings, so he was quick and good at it.

Nick was somewhat surprised and walked over to him.

"Mr. Asha, how come your hands, which are used to holding guns, can wrap such exquisite... white bread?"

Nick was seeing dumplings for the first time and could only give them a new name based on their appearance.

Asa glanced at him and said, "I own a restaurant, is it strange that I can cook? Besides, this is called dumplings, it's a food from Dongzhou."

"Dongzhou?"

Nick looked up at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan took off his heavy coat and scarf. Although he was still wearing a hat, his delicate and beautiful face was no longer concealed and was exposed to everyone's view.

Nick suddenly had a strange thought—if he sent this East Asian man to Noah Davis, would he be able to win Noah Davis's favor?

Nick, who had been in contact with Noah, had learned from Noah that Noah was now very fond of a handsome man and had lost interest in other men.

However, some people still refused to give up and continued to flirt with Noah.

Although Noah didn't even want to look at the other person, what if it was someone as beautiful as Qi Yuan?

Qi Yuan also noticed a gaze fixed on him. He simply looked up and met Nick's eyes before continuing with his work.

Seemingly accustomed to the gazes of others, Qi Yuan was no longer surprised by such stares.

"What are you looking at?" Asa noticed Nick's gaze, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. "I advise you to stop staring at my employees."

"Mr. Asha, don't be nervous. When you said this was Dongzhou food, I was wondering if your restaurant's head chef was that gentleman?"

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Are you trying to steal him from me?"

Asa's tense and hostile attitude gave Nick a strange feeling. He could sense that Asa valued Qi Yuan, but was it because he valued an outstanding employee? Or something else?

Nick also grew up in Juecheng, and he knew that in that city full of wealthy businessmen, some rich men would consider playing with men after they got tired of women. After all, the most powerful people in Juecheng liked men.

So it's not surprising that Asha likes men.

Thinking of this, Nick said, "My organization doesn't have any plans to open a restaurant yet, Mr. Asa, you don't need to be nervous."
