Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: How about Grandma introducing a girlfriend to you?

“Fuck! Is there really such delicious fish soup in the world? Sister Li, you are too awesome!”

The fish soup was not only fresh and fragrant but also, upon closer tasting, there was a faint hint of herbal aroma, completely neutralizing the fishy smell.

The slices of fish were cut to the perfect thickness, melting in the mouth like tender tofu bursting on the tip of the tongue.

Faced with the compliments from both, Jiang Li didn’t bask in pride; instead, she calmly explained to them the method for making the Golden Soup Fish Slices.

Besides the conventional method of preparation, she indeed had added a bit of her own ingenuity while stewing the soup.

For instance, adding herbs.

...

This secret she learned while at the Daqi Marquis Mansion from the kitchen maids there.

But, having weathered the centuries, modern people had simplified many steps for efficiency’s sake.

In the end, while the flavors presented were fairly similar, they lacked the essential finesse that brought the dish to life.

After enjoying a good half-bowl of fish soup, Qi Tianyu patted the box he had brought in.

“Sister Li, the production team has already air-shipped the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall; now it’s up to us.”

Since the fish soup was also ready, Jiang Li turned the pot to low heat and nodded.

But Wen Jiaojiao quickly grabbed her, then glared at Qi Tianyu.

“There should be an order to things; I was the one who asked Jiang Li to teach me cooking first, so you get in line.”

[The show’s starting again, this woman’s strange possessiveness is kicking in.]

[Yeah, finally, it’s getting interesting. That unreasonable Princess is back, it’s just odd this time it’s over Jiang Li, to say the least.]

[Does Wen Jiaojiao have something on Jiang Li? The more I watch, the faker it feels. Could this be another script?]

[I’m dying of laughter, this can’t be a script because Wen Jiaojiao’s acting could never be this good (from a diehard fan who’s been through it all).]

[Hahahaha, fans of Princess Wen upstairs are killing me, you guys don’t even blink an eye when blackening your idol.]

Upon hearing this, Qi Tianyu was no longer willing to relent.

Since he was leaving tomorrow, there was no need to continue yielding to this missy.

“Fine, you want to talk about who was first? I was the one who said I’d make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall first, so shouldn’t I be the one to go first?”

“You!” Jiaojiao fumed, stomping her feet in anger, unable to win the argument.

Why are all these high achievers so annoying?

She couldn’t win a single argument!

In the end, Jiang Li couldn’t bear listening any longer and said with a frown, “It’s just a dish of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and another of stir-fried tomato and eggs; I can teach both, so stop arguing.”

At these words, Qi Tianyu was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

“So Wen Jiaojiao, you wanted to make stir-fried tomato and eggs, hahaha, I’m dying, don’t bother Sister Li, I can teach you.”

Wen Jiaojiao: “Heh.”

[I’m laughing so hard, Qi, you’re being so mean, watch out for the Princess’s curse.]

[Feels like the atmosphere between them is getting better, they can even tease each other now. Remember when Qi barely spoke at the beginning?]

[Give me a break, Qi Tianyu. Wasn’t it you who tried to cook instant noodles during a live stream and almost blew up the pot? You’re just as bad as Wen Jiaojiao!]

“Jiang Li is just like my mom, except my mom would give me an earful, while Jiang Li just calmly cleans up their mess.”

“Five people are cooking, where’s Jiang Yan? He’s not slacking off, is he?”

“The young master was indeed planning on slacking off, but Jiang Li sent him off to help the villagers with the tables, since he can’t be counted on here.”

“I’ve just come from Jiang Yan’s live stream, I’ve had it with that guy, trying to look cool even when moving a table. I just couldn’t stand it, had to come here for a good cleanse and to cultivate my sentiments.”

At this moment, Jiang Yan was indeed helping the villagers move tables.

Upon hearing that the village chief was hosting a dinner tonight, most of the residents of Chixia Village had come running, and just using the village chief’s tables wouldn’t be nearly enough to seat everyone.

With no choice, the village chief directed a few strong men to gather up several tables and benches from neighboring homes, and the open space in front of the house was cleared, fitted with bright lights and fans.

Suddenly, this became the liveliest place in the entire Chixia Village.

The women, too, were not idle, bringing over sunflower seeds and fruits from their homes early on, chatting while snacking.

Most of the young people from Chixia Village had gone out to work, leaving behind mostly the elderly and infirm. Apart from their traditional Daton Festival, it had never been this bustling.

The TV crew had not yet arrived, and the other celebrities were busy cooking, so Jiang Yan, being the sole “celebrity” and the youngest, naturally became the center of attention.

A group of aunties encircled him, bombarding him with questions until they nearly unraveled his entire background.

“Young man, you’re really handsome, even more than the stars I’ve seen on TV. What shows have you been in? I’ll have to look them up when I get home.”

“Where’s your family from? How many people? I heard Master Jiang is your sister, she’s so talented, do you also know a bit about fortune-telling?”

“Oh my, just look at you, a true city person. The way you look, you dress, your height, you’re really something compared to us folks from the mountains.”

“Handsome Jiang, how old are you this year? Got a girlfriend yet? If you’re still single, how about I set you up with someone?”
