Ye Lan shook her head: "The old man invited the chef from Guanlan back specially for you, the chef who specializes in the S Province cuisine that you like to eat."
Qiao Nian’s taste is spicy, which is quite different from the sweet taste of Jingshi.
Only in Guanlan is there a chef from Province S who can cook authentic local dishes that are very much to Qiao Nian's taste. Usually, Ye Lan and Ye Maoshan like to eat there.
It is mainly for the convenience of Qiao Nian, so he can order a few dishes that Qiao Nian likes.
Today, Ye Wangchuan promised to bring people back. After receiving the news, Ye Lan finished work early and rushed home. He also contacted Guanlan to bring the other party's chef home as requested by Grandpa Ye. He just wanted Qiao Nian to have a happy meal in the old house occasionally.
"Don't be polite with Auntie Lan. Just tell me what you want to eat. We are all family. If you want to eat something, I will ask the kitchen to prepare it."
Qiao Nian ordered several dishes.
Ye Lan was finally happy, with a smile on her face. She turned around and made some arrangements with the old butler, who then went to look for purchasing.
There is an auntie in the old house who is responsible for buying groceries. She usually prepares ingredients in advance according to Ye Maoshan’s eating habits to facilitate use in the kitchen.
Logically, the old housekeeper doesn't have to go shopping for groceries himself.
But today is special. Qiao Nian is here, and the old butler puts aside his status and goes out with the purchasing servants, preparing to select the ingredients himself.
After Ye Lan arranged what to eat for dinner, he took Qiao Nian's hand and walked inside warmly, asking him all kinds of questions, including what Qiao Nian was busy with recently.
“…I mainly stay at home, and occasionally go to Master Cheng to talk about experiments.” Qiao Nian answered every question and was very good-tempered.
It’s also because Guan Yan and others are not here, otherwise they would be so shocked that their eyes would pop out.
The last time Sun was so patient was when he almost buried all the members of the Hidden World Family in the deep sea in Continent F...
Ye Lan brought the person in front of Ye Maoshan and called out, "Dad, Nian Nian is here."
Ye Wangchuan lagged behind the two of them by one step. Ye Lan didn't even mention him, which made it seem like Qiao Nian was the one who had finally returned home and he was just a guest.
Ye Maoshan also didn't look at him. When he saw Qiao Nian coming, he didn't play chess with Ye Keji. He put down the chess pieces and stood up, very happy: "Finally you're here."
"Did Auntie Lan tell you what you want to eat tonight?"
"I told you." Qiao Nian walked over, took a look at the chessboard, and pointed to the endgame on Ye Maoshan's side, saying, "You can fly the elephant here, and then make this move next, checkmate."
As far as the chess game between the two sides is concerned, Ye Maoshan has already begun to show signs of decline, and it is only a matter of time before he loses the game.
But as soon as Qiao Nian arrived, he glanced and instructed the two moves, and the chess game was completely changed. There was a trend of breaking through, and the situation was open and closed with great momentum.
Ye Keji touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Miss Qiao can't help the old man bully me."
Ye Maoshan also found that the two-step strategy suggested by Qiao Nian was very clever. It seemed like a stupid move, as the first step would cause him to lose the chess piece in his hand.
But if Ye Keji wants to capture his chess piece, he must move the horse. Once the horse is moved, the second move instructed by Qiao Nian is that the soldier will cross the river and attack the general.
But if the opponent gave up the chess pieces that were sent to him and turned to defend the soldiers that crossed the river, the siege that had not been able to find a breakthrough point would be broken by the chess pieces that were inserted horizontally...
Ye Maoshan himself likes playing chess very much, especially chess with battlefield situations, and he appreciates the cleverness of Qiao Nian's two-handed guidance.
He immediately became interested and sat back, asking Qiao Nian to give him some instructions: "Come on, Nian Nian, come over here. You say what's next, and I'll do it."
