Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1128 - 1130: Guo Mansion

The carriage quickly arrived at the Guo Mansion. Li Fugui got off the carriage, and before he could enter the main gate, a little maid came up to him, "Are you Chef Jiang? Follow me to the kitchen, everyone is waiting for you."

Li Fugui wanted to explain that he wasn’t Chef Jiang, but then thought it was better not to waste his energy. As long as he prepared the dishes well, completed the task, and didn’t tarnish the Yuelai Restaurant’s reputation, it would be fine. So, he nodded in agreement and followed the little maid into the Guo Mansion.

The Guo Mansion was grand, indeed as the people in the back kitchen had said. It was a large household, much better than the Li Mansion he used to live in.

Along the way, the little maid was feeling a bit nervous. Was the chef from Yuelai Restaurant really such a young person?

But then again, the people of the Guo Mansion shouldn’t have made a mistake, and he did just agree, so she didn’t question further.

Soon, they entered the back kitchen of the Guo Mansion, which was large, with many kitchen helpers.

As soon as the little maid entered, she said, "This is Chef Jiang from Yuelai Restaurant. Assist him, and don’t delay today’s dinner."

Everyone agreed, and the little maid left.

The back kitchen of the Guo Mansion was different from that of Yuelai Restaurant. Yuelai Restaurant’s kitchen was full of men, but the Guo Mansion’s kitchen was full of kitchen maids.

A bunch of men can get quite gossipy, let alone a bunch of women.

Seeing Li Fugui, they asked, "Are you Chef Jiang?"

"Yes," Li Fugui nodded slightly.

"Oh my, this Chef Jiang is too young. I thought he’d be about my age."

"Isn’t that so? I really didn’t expect it. To become the head chef of Yuelai Restaurant at such a young age, that’s quite impressive."

"Hey, Chef Jiang, how old are you this year?"

Facing the group of women, Li Fugui felt a bit helpless, so he replied, "Almost twenty-one."

"Oh my, so young! I’ve never seen such a young chef. Are you married?"

"Not yet!"

"Oh my, why aren’t you married yet? Do you want me, auntie, to introduce someone to you? You look so handsome and you’re so capable."

"..." Li Fugui was extremely embarrassed, not expecting that his chef identity had turned into such a coveted role in the eyes of these kitchen maids.

"Um, ladies, let’s prepare to cook quickly. It would be a disaster if we delay dinner."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. After all, cooking for the young mistress was not to be delayed. These days the young mistress hasn’t had an appetite, which made it hard for these kitchen maids. They were often scolded by the lady, who said they were not treating her grandson well.

But their cooking skills were just like that. The young mistress couldn’t eat much; they had no solution. Actually, it wasn’t that the young mistress couldn’t eat, just that she ate a few bites less than usual.

But even eating a few bites less made the lady so anxious. She insisted on inviting Chef Jiang from Yuelai Restaurant to specially cook for the young mistress to whet her appetite.

You could only say this is how rich people do things, which we poor people can’t understand. After all, they’re wealthy.

Seeing the kitchen maids quiet down, Li Fugui began to prepare dinner. After scanning the ingredients in the kitchen, he recalled hearing that the young mistress of the Guo Mansion was a few months pregnant and had lost her appetite. He had an idea about which dishes to make to stimulate her appetite.

After deciding, Li Fugui instructed the kitchen maids to help him prepare the ingredients and seasonings. The sound of chopping vegetables filled the kitchen.
