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

Noah had never eaten hot pot or porridge.

He couldn't understand a word Xiu said.

It was at this moment that Qi Yuan appeared.

This time, the maid also helped bring out some peeled shrimp.

As soon as Qi Yuan sat down, Little Petty, holding her small teacup, said expectantly, "Brother Qi Yuan, I've finished the fruit tea you poured for me. I want more."

"I can only give you half a cup more. Children shouldn't drink too much tea," Qi Yuan said, rubbing her little head.

The little girl's chubby cheeks immediately puffed up. "Brother Qiyuan, how can you side with Uncle? Aren't you my good friend?"

“If A-Yuan doesn’t stand by my side, I won’t give you a single sip of tea. But, little girl, when did you become so fond of tea?” Noah asked in confusion.

People in the North Island love to drink tea and are used to having a cup of black tea with their desserts.

Because Petty is still young, he only likes to eat desserts and will not drink a drop of the bitter tea.

"Brother Qiyuan's tea is delicious!" Petty said happily.

Qi Yuan had already poured her half a cup of tea, and then poured Noah's teacup a full cup of tea.

Noah took the tea and looked at it. He noticed that the tea was not as clear as usual, and it looked as if something had been poured in and mixed with the tea.

He picked up the teacup and smelled the aroma of the tea.

It still tastes like black tea, but with a refreshing lemon scent.

Noah asked, "Yuan, did you add lemon juice to the black tea?"

"Yes, and there's rock sugar too. This is lemon tea."

Noah had never heard of adding lemon to tea before, which was considered heretical by those of them who had long only drunk black tea.

However, since this was lemon tea made by Qi Yuan, he still took a sip out of curiosity.

The sweet and sour taste explodes on the taste buds, followed by the aroma of black tea lingering in the mouth. After taking a sip, you feel much more refreshed.

Noah was surprised to learn that lemons, black tea, and rock sugar could have such a wonderful chemical reaction. No wonder Patty liked to drink this kind of black tea; it was indeed delicious and addictive.

"It's really good!" Xiu praised after taking a sip of lemon tea. "The lemon tea is sweet and sour, and it has the aroma of black tea. If you had a sip of this while eating hot pot, it would relieve the spiciness and cut through the greasiness. But, Mr. Qi Yuan, this hot pot doesn't look like hot pot, and it doesn't look like porridge either. What is this?"

"This is congee hot pot."

"Porridge hot pot?"

"This is a specialty hot pot from my hometown. The key to this kind of hot pot is the freshness of the ingredients. If the ingredients are fresh enough, you can taste the sweetness in the meat. It tastes pretty good too. Wait for me to cook it for you to try."

Qi Yuan picked up three thinly sliced ​​pieces of beef and placed them in the bubbling casserole. In just over ten seconds, the bright red beef was cooked by the boiling porridge.

Qi Yuan placed one piece of beef on Noah's plate, another on Petty's plate, and only gave the last piece to Xiu.

"Try it with the dipping sauce I made," Qi Yuan said.

Having experience eating hot pot, Xiu dipped the beef in the sauce before putting it in his mouth. The beef was tender and delicious, with a hint of milky flavor—it was incredibly tasty.

Xiu never imagined that this seemingly bland and tasteless porridge hot pot could be so delicious!

Noah also took a bite and was so surprised by how delicious it was that his eyes widened slightly.

Petty was fed by Qi Yuan.

The little girl was eating hot pot for the first time and didn't quite know how to eat it.

Qi Yuan fed her the beef, and the little girl chewed it. Her eyes lit up instantly. "Brother Qi Yuan, it's so delicious! I want more!"

"Ok."

Qi Yuan continued to cook beef for them.

It must be said that this novel experience gave the three of them a new perspective on the diversity of food.

When Noah ate his third piece of meat, he noticed that Qi Yuan had been cooking beef for them, so he barely ate any. He said to the butler, "Sebastian, ask the head chef to cook some meat for us. It's such a simple thing; he should be able to do it."

"Yes."

Sebastian immediately went into the kitchen and called out the head chef, Garner.

Ghana thought that Noah and the others didn't like Qi Yuan's cooking and had called him out to order food for dinner.

When he heard that he was to be the one to scald the meat, he immediately felt a little unhappy.

He thought to himself: I am a chef from the North Continent, and they actually made me cook dishes from the East Continent. This is an insult to my profession!

For a professional chef like him, blanching meat is not difficult; he can tell whether it's edible and delicious just by looking at its color.

However, he had never tried cooking in front of the head of the household.

He handed the cooked meat to everyone's bowls and saw that everyone was eating with relish. Even the pickiest girl, who usually only liked desserts, was eating the meat bite by bite, showing no signs of being a picky eater as usual.

He couldn't help but wonder, could such poorly cooked food really taste good?

He had just seen how Qi Yuan did it.

He plans to try making it himself when he gets home from get off work to see if this freshly cooked food tastes good.

The three adults and one child finished the prepared meat, and finally ladled out the thick rice porridge at the bottom of the pot to drink. The warm rice porridge was soaked with the flavor of beef. They sprinkled some chopped green onions and two grains of salt on it, and their whole stomach felt warm and comfortable after eating it.

Xiu touched his slightly bulging belly and sighed, "Hot pot is definitely the best thing to eat in the dead of winter. It warms you up from head to toe."

"It's time for you to go home," Noah said, directly telling him to leave.

Xiu chuckled. "Mr. Noah, it's so late already. The snow outside must be so thick it's burying the roads. If you go back now, you might not even be able to find your own door. So, how about I stay at Davis's house for the night?"

Noah was about to refuse, but when he looked at Xiu's pretty face, he paused.

He had previously worried that his excessive pampering of Qi Yuan would make outsiders think he only had eyes for Qi Yuan, thus causing trouble for Qi Yuan. But, if he left Xiu at the Davis family's house, wouldn't that draw some attention away from Qi Yuan?

Thinking of this, Noah's eyes deepened. "Not just tonight, how about you stay at Davis's house from now on?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan and Xiu both looked at Noah.

Xiu hurriedly waved his hand: "Mr. Noah, I'm pushing my luck. I'll go home now!"

"Sit down," Noah said coldly.

Xiu had just lifted his buttocks, but obediently sat back down in the chair.

Noah said, "From today onwards, you will live at Davis's house. When you have nothing to do, you can play with Yuan. You can go wherever Yuan goes. I will give you a salary of 50,000 every month."

Xiu's eyes lit up. "Okay, boss! Thank you, boss!"

Qi Yuan frowned slightly, looking at Xiu with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Fifty thousand a month.

Is my job to be his bodyguard?

"Ah Yuan, don't envy him. You also cost me a lot of money today. I'll settle the score with you when we get back to the room," Noah said, noticing the envy in Qi Yuan's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan replied, "I will repay it."

"Of course you have to pay it back. It's just a small amount of money; you can definitely afford to pay it back!"

Noah immediately responded.

Although he wasn't short of money, he knew how strong Qi Yuan's pride was.

Furthermore, he couldn't show too much affection for Qi Yuan, lest the whole world think he really liked Qi Yuan.
