But Chu Qiao wasn’t particularly interested. 

“Western restaurants are expensive and not even that tasty. A meal there can cost around a hundred yuan, it’s not worth it. If you want to try it, I can make it for you. It’s just pan-fried steak. I can cook it to whatever doneness you prefer.”  

“Steak isn’t just boiled before eating? There are different levels of doneness? What’s the reasoning behind that?” 

Xu Sanqiang was intrigued by this, especially since he planned to stay in Shanghai instead of returning to his hometown.

It wasn’t that he looked down on his hometown for being poor, he just found it dull. 

His parents and siblings only ever seemed to want his money. 

From childhood to adulthood, he had never felt a shred of warmth from his family. When he first joined the army, other new recruits would get terribly homesick, some even crying secretly at night. 

But he never felt that way. In fact, he found the army quite welcoming, more so than his own home. 

He never bothered taking leave during his service years, he would rather stay with his comrades and enjoy their camaraderie rather than return home to cold shoulders.  

After arriving in Shanghai, he spent Sundays exploring the city with Bao Fushan and the others. 

The bustling metropolis opened his eyes to a level of prosperity he’d never known. 

Back in his hometown, he’d thought the county town was lively enough, but Shanghai showed him how limited his perspective had been. It only strengthened his resolve to build a life here.

He was determined that his children would be born and raised in Shanghai, giving them the best material life and educational resources so they wouldn’t have to suffer like he did.  

But before that, he needed to find a woman to become the mother of his children. After all, he couldn’t exactly have kids on his own. 

Though Xu Sanqiang came across as rough around the edges, he was actually quite shrewd and had a clear plan for the future. 

He intended to find a local Shanghai girl, but local women had high standards. So, the top priority was to make money. With money, anything was possible.  

That’s why Xu Sanqiang wanted to learn more about how city folks dated, as it would come in handy later.  

Chu Qiao was also in high spirits and explained, “Westerners like their steak cooked rare, just a quick sear on the surface while the inside stays raw. When you cut into it, it’s still bloody.”

“Isn’t that just eating raw meat? No wonder I’ve heard people say Westerners eat raw meat and drink blood, like savages. Aren’t they afraid of getting sick?” 

Xu Sanqiang’s tone was full of disdain. 

What was the point of eating bloody raw meat? Beef could be stir-fried, used in dumplings, stewed, or roasted, there were so many ways to cook it. Why eat it raw?  

“Are Westerners’ brains just not wired right? They don’t even know how to cook meat properly. How foolish.” 

Han Shizhong also chimed in, equally unimpressed. 

After hearing Chu Qiao’s explanation, he had lost all interest in Western food. 

He would rather stay home and cook a bowl of hot noodle soup, garnished with garlic, which was comforting and satisfying.  

Chu Qiao couldn’t help but laugh. “The Western restaurants here in Shanghai can cook the steak well-done if you ask. Some Western dishes are actually quite tasty, I’ll make them for you someday.”  

“You’re amazing, sister-in-law! You can even cook Western food.” 

Han Shizhong gave a thumbs-up, genuinely impressed. 

He really felt that Gu Ye had married a treasure.

Her cooking abilities were exceptional, she was gentle, her appearance beautiful, and her heart kind.

Chu Qiao never exhibited any signs of impatience, despite the four of them being mature men troubling her.

Every time she made something delicious, she’d share it with them.

Dabao and Xiaobao, her two children who were not even related by blood, were never considered as a burden.

Instead, she took excellent care of them.  

Whether children are thriving is obvious at a glance. 

Dabao and Xiaobao were now fair-skinned, clean, and much more cheerful. 

Han Shizhong believed they were in a better place than they would have been with their biological mother back in their hometown.

Chu Qiao’s attentive care for them was very extraordinary.
