Sha Zhu's temper also flared up.

He didn't want to be cleaned up by Chen Tian outside and then have to take his sister's anger when he got back!

"Chen Tian is cooking again?"

"This smell is too fascinating!"

Because of the banquet, Xu Damao drank some wine, and was just about to return to his room to rest when he smelled the fragrance of stir-fried food coming from nearby.

"Xiaoe, stop what you're doing for a moment."

"Bring over the bottle of good wine I brought back last time, and also bring the things the commune gave us last time."

Immediately after, Xu Damao took his wife to Chen Tian's house.

"Chief Engineer Chen, we smelled the fragrance from far away."

Xu Damao stood in Chen Tian's courtyard, full of flattery.

And seeing them both come, Chen Tian felt a little surprised.

But Lou Xiaoe helped him a little during the day, so he wasn't particularly resistant.

"Xu Damao, what do you two want?"

Lou Xiaoe kept her head down and didn't speak; after all, it was a sudden visit, and she was a little embarrassed.

She used to be a young lady and had never done such a thing as sponging a meal.

Xu Damao was obviously much more open than her.

"Chief Engineer Chen, we just want to come and chat with you."

"Look at this chicken, it was sent by the commune director last time, and I haven't been willing to eat it."

"And I've treasured this wine for a long time, let's take this opportunity to have a few drinks."

Xu Damao didn't get himself drunk today, so he was in high spirits now.

And Chen Tian just glanced at Lou Xiaoe on the side; no matter what, she had helped him.

Although he didn't want to get too close to the other party's husband, there was no reason to refuse now.

"Having a few drinks is fine."

"You two come in and sit down first, I'll stir-fry a few more dishes."

Chen Tian nodded and invited them both in.

"Chief Engineer Chen, look, you are really generous!"

"The furniture you use is so high-end!"

Xu Damao touched Chen Tian's sofa with great interest.

"Chief Engineer Chen, I'll come and help you too."

Lou Xiaoe didn't want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, so she suggested wanting to help.

But she was a young lady who had never done any housework since she was a child.

Saying she was helping, at most she would only know how to write things.

Even after marrying Xu Damao, the meals were always handled by Xu Damao.

She only knew how to do some simple housework.

And it wasn't that she didn't want to cook, but she really didn't have any talent in this area.

If Xu Damao sometimes ran far away and couldn't come back that day.

She could only run back to her parents' house to eat.

Chen Tian originally planned to cook a few simple meals and make do for a meal.

But now that Xu Damao and the others were here, he couldn't just deal with it casually.

Moreover, he now possessed cooking skills at the level of a God of Cookery.

Even ordinary home-cooked dishes could become full of color, fragrance, and taste through his hands.

After a while, the food was stir-fried and put on the table.

"My God, this table!"

Looking at the table full of dishes with color, fragrance, and taste, Xu Damao's saliva was almost dripping down.

"I didn't expect Chief Engineer Chen's craftsmanship to be so good!"

"Just looking at it, it's already several times better than what Sha Zhu makes!"

Xu Damao had always eaten canteen food in the factory and had long been a little disgusted.

Especially since he and Sha Zhu didn't get along on weekdays, the other party would shake his hand every time he served him food.

The food he gave him was always much less than what others got.

This also caused Xu Damao to often not even be able to fill his stomach in the factory.

But even so, he had no way.

After all, Sha Zhu was a head chef and could be said to be a little bully in the factory.

Even Factory Manager Yang and the others would name him to cook when they invited those leaders to dinner.

This also left Xu Damao with no way to deal with the other party.

So looking at the big table of food in front of him, his eyes lit up instantly.

And Lou Xiaoe, smelling the fragrance, couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

No matter what, her family had once been rich, and she had grown up eating good things since she was a child.

But the big table of food in front of her was much better than any good thing she had ever eaten.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and use your chopsticks."

Chen Tian smiled and urged.

Xu Damao didn't stand on ceremony with him, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating in big mouthfuls.

"This is too delicious, Chief Engineer Chen!"

"Compared to the food you make, Sha Zhu's craftsmanship is not even fit for dogs!"

Lou Xiaoe also picked up a chopstick, put it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up slightly.

Chen Tian's craftsmanship was really not just for show!

Lou Xiaoe, who was always reserved, couldn't help but eat heartily at this moment.

"Chief Engineer Chen, let me tell you..."

"Today you... you... gave that Mrs. Jia a good lesson, it's really satisfying!"

"That fat hag... is rampant in the courtyard all day!"

"People say I'm full of bad water, but compared to her, I'm far behind!"

"Today you... today you really vented my anger!"

"To tell you the truth, I've long wanted to press her to the ground and beat her..."

Xu Damao and Chen Tian drank cup after cup, still following his old rules.

Chen Tian drank one cup, he drank three, and in just a short while, he successfully got himself drunk.

This made the bottle of good wine he brought over not left at all.
