My Son-in-law Is A War God-Chapter 227: God of Cooking_1
Long Chen is dead!
Long Musheng awoke from unconsciousness.
But he wished he could remain unconscious forever.
Because he truly didn’t want to face the impending disaster.
The strike from Ghost Blade that killed Long Chen also spelled the downfall of the Long Family.
From this moment on, the Long Family had completely lost control over Jiangnan Prefecture.
They had also completely lost their ability to contend with other family clans.
It felt like a nightmare!
"Family Head, those people have already started to make their moves,"
the Butler stood there, hesitating for a long time but still couldn’t help saying.
Long Musheng was clutching his head, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.
He understood what the Butler meant, those who would kick a man when he was down had begun to devour the Long Family’s assets.
Before, those people didn’t dare to make a move because they feared Long Chen.
But now, without Long Chen, they would no longer consider the Long Family to be a threat.
The Long Family, the dragon that had aged, was surely going to be bitten full of holes.
And he, he was completely helpless.
The Wang Family and the Tang Family had already sharpened their knives, aiming at Jiangcheng.
But this time, they discreetly backed off as well.
They were very clear about what a master like Ghost Blade signified.
The Ghost Blade of the past could help Lord Long defend Jiangnan Prefecture for decades.
The Ghost Blade of today was even more formidable.
They couldn’t provoke him, so they had no choice but to give up.
It didn’t matter if they were unwilling; as long as Xiao Chen stayed in Jiangnan Prefecture for a day, they didn’t dare to act recklessly.
Those families inferior to the Tang and Wang families needn’t be mentioned.
After a trip to Jiangcheng, they were forced to invest a lot of money and fled in defeat.
No one else dared to touch this jinx.
Jiangcheng had fully regained its former tranquility.
No, it could be said to be even more peaceful and serene than when Lord Long was still around.
However, these matters seemed to have nothing to do with Xiao Chen himself.
Three days after the battle on Bajiang Bridge ended,
Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng appeared at the groundbreaking ceremony of the medical school at Jiangfu University.
An initial investment of four hundred million yuan.
Director Lei was also very cooperative, providing a piece of land for free for educational purposes.
Dragon Country places great importance on education.
Therefore, the approval for educational land was also granted very quickly.
Xiao Chen, in any case, was only responsible for splurging money and accompanying his wife; others would naturally take care of everything else.
Nobody dared misuse his money.
After all, everyone knew his status in Jiangnan Prefecture.
Additionally, the Institute of Food Science was also in the works.
This was setting a national precedent.
There had never been a full-time undergraduate university that offered such a major.
But Xiao Chen truly couldn’t bear to let Chen Guofu’s technology go extinct.
Chen Guofu’s achievements in food production were nothing less than a national treasure.
If this were lost, it would indeed be a great pity.
Later, after some discussions, the president of Jiangfu University made a suggestion.
An institute for "Traditional Crafts" could be directly established, including food production, paper cutting, woodworking, embroidery, and almost all the technically endangered arts.
All could be offered as majors.
With the strong financial backing of Xinmeng Group, ancient skills could be rejuvenated.
Not only could they preserve the techniques, but they could also make money, which was beneficial for both the nation and its people.
Xiao Chen agreed.
Jiang Meng had no objections either.
But the actual work had to be approached slowly.
This was not as simple as the medical school.
With the medical school under construction and the Traditional Crafts Institute in preparation,
Xinmeng Group was also developing steadily.
After the demise of the four major families in Jiangcheng, Xinmeng Group could have truly monopolized the market based on its own strength.
But they didn’t.
Jiang Meng’s idea was simple.
Giving others a way to make a living wasn’t a bad thing.
After occupying fifty percent of Jiangcheng’s market share, Xinmeng Group stopped expanding and started exploring markets beyond Jiangnan Prefecture.
This allowed many peers to breathe a sigh of relief.
They feared most that Xinmeng Group, insatiable, would devour the entire market.
In the end, it turned out they had been overly worried.
Xinmeng Group seemed not to be about making money, but truly about getting things done.
Because Xiao Chen didn’t lack money.
Jiang Meng and Liu Xin also didn’t lack money.
Money, that thing had completely bewitched some people, it consumed their minds, and no matter how much they earned, it was never enough.
Yet Jiang Meng and Liu Xin felt that seeing everyone become prosperous was the scene they most delighted in.
Perhaps it was precisely this kind of kindness that truly fascinated Xiao Chen about Jiang Meng.
In the evening, after getting off work and returning home, Ren Jing busied herself in the kitchen.
Liu Xin also went to help.
Her culinary skills were really good, and she didn’t want to let Ren Jing tire herself out alone.
Ren Jing was her chauffeur and bodyguard, and she still had to cook when she returned home. She was really busy.
After taking a shower, Jiang Meng, dressed in her pajamas, sat beside Xiao Chen and looked at some documents.
Xiao Chen snatched the documents away and placed them aside.
"From now on, I decree that after coming home, Jiang Meng belongs to me, Xiao Chen, alone.
No work is allowed."
"You’re acting like a child,"
Jiang Meng pursed her lips and smiled, "Alright, I won’t look anymore. So what should we do?"
Xiao Chen thought for a moment, "You could keep me company and chat. We can talk about happy things or unhappy things,
I love it most when my beautiful wife tells me stories.
Um? What’s that delicious smell?"
"Of course, it’s the fragrance of the food Ren Jing and mom are cooking,"
said Jiang Meng.
"Wow, I get it now, it’s the fragrance from my wife that smells so good. So intoxicating,"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath,
making Jiang Meng blush down to her neck.
"It smells good, I’ll have a better sniff tonight. Where’s grandpa?"
"I didn’t hear anything, I didn’t see anything,"
Old Master Jiang focused his eyes on the TV, pretending to be confused.
He couldn’t wait for Xiao Chen to devour Jiang Meng, this ripe red apple.
He had long been yearning to hold a great-grandchild in his arms.
After all, as people grow old, they yearn for the joy of family.
"You all seem so happy. Go wash your hands, it’s time to eat!"
"I’ll serve the dishes!"
Jiang Meng dashed into the kitchen as if fleeing.
At the dinner table.
"I guess, this dish must have been made by mom, right?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Try it and see how it tastes. Your mother mentioned the other day that you like sweet and sour pork loin, so I made her teach me specially.
I hope it tastes right to you!"
said Liu Xin.
Xiao Chen took a bite and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Mom, you could compete in a cooking contest with this.
It’s a waste to just do business."
"Sweet talker, as long as it’s tasty, that’s all that matters. If it’s good, eat more!"
Liu Xin said with a smile.
"Then I might just eat it all, huh?"
Xiao Chen said.
"Leave some for me!"
Jiang Meng said.
"Mengmeng, Xiao Chen has lost weight these days, being a son-in-law isn’t easy.
He’s been with you through thick and thin every day, and still takes care of this household.
He’s worked too hard.
Let him eat,"
Liu Xin said.
"Mom, where do you see that he has lost weight?
Also, this fellow does nothing but play games at the company, and then bullies me.
Where’s the hard work in that,
Hmph,"
Jiang Meng complained with tears in her eyes.
She suddenly realized a terrifying fact.
In this household, there seemed to be no son-in-law by the threshold; instead, she appeared to be a mistreated daughter-in-law who had married in.
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, had turned into her mother’s own dear son.
"Xiao Chen, don’t just eat that dish, here, have some beef, this is really nourishing stuff,"
Old Master Jiang also added food to Xiao Chen’s plate.
