Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1129 - 1131: Treasured

Soon enough, the ingredients and seasonings were almost ready.

At this moment, the same Little Maid came back, "Madam said that if the ingredients are nearly ready, you can start cooking. The young master has a social engagement and will return late, so no need to wait for him. If the young mistress is hungry, she can eat first."

"Got it," the kitchen maids responded, and the Little Maid left.

As soon as the Little Maid left, everyone started gossiping. Don’t be fooled by the kitchen maids’ old age; when it comes to gossiping, they were all lively and full of envy.

"The young master is really good to the young mistress. Every time he’s coming back late, he sends someone to let her know so she doesn’t have to wait."

"Yes indeed, the young mistress is really fortunate."

"I was wondering why our young master was still unmarried at this age; turns out he was waiting for the young mistress."

"Oh, you haven’t been here long, so you don’t know. Let me tell you, the young master and young mistress were close when they were kids. Later, the Madam and young master were away for a while, and the young mistress disappeared. The young master searched for a long time and finally found her. The young mistress was quite promising, getting pregnant soon after she was found. The young master surely dotes on her even more now."

"It’s not just the young master doting on her; I think the Master and Madam treasure her too. Otherwise, would they just hire a chef like that?"

"It’s just that the young mistress doesn’t talk much; no idea what the young master sees in her."

"..."

"..."

The kitchen maids could gossip endlessly, leaving Li Fugui quite helpless. "Ladies, let’s stop the gossip. Talking about the masters isn’t good. I need to get ready to cook."

Upon Li Fugui’s reminder, they realized they had talked too much, especially in front of Chef Jiang. They felt a bit embarrassed. If Chef Jiang told the Madam about their gossip, they might lose their jobs.

"Well, Chef Jiang, we were just chatting casually. Please pretend you didn’t hear it and don’t tell the Mistress, or we’re doomed."

"..." Li Fugui was a bit helpless. Don’t these people know that loose tongues cause trouble? Now they were asking for his help.

But he couldn’t be bothered to meddle in others’ affairs. He’s completely different now; he used to be nosy, but after some setbacks, he’s become more mature and stable.

"Ladies, don’t worry. I won’t speak out of turn."

Hearing Chef Jiang’s promise, everyone quickly complimented him, "Chef Jiang, you’re really a good person. What kind of wife are you looking for? Tell us, if we know someone, we can introduce her to you."

"Yes, yes, I know a few girls. Chef Jiang, tell us what you’re looking for?"

"..."

"..."

Li Fugui’s patience was wearing thin with these ladies. His eyebrows furrowed, and he was somewhat displeased. "Ladies, I’m not looking for a wife. If you keep this up, I can’t guarantee what I might tell the owner."

"Alright, we’ll shut up. We won’t say anything more. Let’s quickly help Chef Jiang."

The kitchen finally quieted down, and Li Fugui began to cook. After several months of training, Li Fugui’s cooking style was increasingly like that of a professional chef. He had built up the arm strength to flip the pan, and if Xiaoxiao saw it, she would definitely compliment him as having a bit of handsomeness.

Soon, a table full of delicious-smelling dishes was ready.
