The young man whose eyes were dug out by Yao Ye was also taken back by their family.

The members of his family stared at Nangong Xi and the others, but dared not say anything.

"Brother, it's been so long, why hasn't the birthday boy arrived?" Nangong Xi looked around curiously, but did not see Grandpa Jiang.

"You'll know soon." A smile flashed across Nangong Wuji's eyes.

Nangong Xi was a little confused, but since her elder brother said she would know soon, she would just wait a little longer.

Seeing that all the guests have arrived.

The head of the Jiang family stood up with a smile in his eyes, but at this time, the birthday boy, Mr. Jiang, had not arrived yet.

"Thank you all for taking the time to attend my father's birthday party. To express his welcome to everyone, my father decided to cook personally to entertain everyone." After the head of the Jiang family finished speaking, there was a strange look on his face.

"Brother, why hasn't uncle come yet?" Nangong Xi looked at Nangong Wuji.

"He and mother will accompany grandpa here." Nangong Wuji replied.

"Oh." Nangong Xi nodded.

After hearing what Master Jiang said, the guests present had different expressions on their faces.

Everyone started talking about it...

While everyone was waiting, Old Master Jiang walked in, followed by the Nangong family head and his wife, as well as several couples that Nangong Xi had never seen before.

Mr. Jiang walked towards the main seat.

Patriarch Nangong and others also sat down in the seats arranged for them by the Jiang family.

"Senior Brother, isn't Grandpa Jin coming?" Nangong Xi didn't see Grandpa Jin, so he looked at He Xin beside him.

"We'll be there in a while." He Xin nodded with a smile.

"Oh." Nangong Xi nodded.

"Someone, serve the food." After Mr. Jiang sat down at the main seat, he said nothing but directly ordered the food to be served.

"The dishes we're serving today are all cooked by me personally. I hope you all like them." Grandpa Jiang said to everyone.

"Since it's Mr. Jiang who's cooking, we're naturally looking forward to it."

"That's right. I never thought I could eat the food cooked by the birthday boy himself."

"Haha, it's our honor, our pleasure."

……

After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, everyone started to speak.

"I'm glad you don't mind." Mr. Jiang was very excited when he heard that.

He had a dream of becoming a chef since he was a child, but he was born into a large family and was trained as the family heir since he was a child. Therefore, he had to face the reality and give up his dream.

Now that I have finally relieved myself of the heavy responsibility of the family, it is time for me to realize my dream.

So he took advantage of his birthday to show off his skills.

Before, he only cooked for people close to him.

"Brother, looking at how confident Mr. Jiang is, his cooking skills must be pretty good, right?" Nangong Xi looked at Nangong Wuji beside him.

“It should be… pretty good.” Nangong Wuji had a strange expression on his face.

He thought of the time when his grandfather came to visit him at Nangong's house and insisted on cooking for him, but...

Not long after.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, a dish that looked very exquisite was served.

When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up.

Nangong Xi picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food, but was stopped by Nangong Wuji who was beside her.

"Xixi, I think you should wait a moment." Nangong Wuji said and looked at her with some confusion.

"Okay." Nangong Xi took a quick look and found that almost no one in the Jiang family had picked up their chopsticks, so she put down her chopsticks as well.

"It's clear from looking at Mr. Jiang that he is an excellent cook."

"Yes, you can tell just by looking at the presentation of the food."

"It seems like we are in for a treat this time."

……

The guests exclaimed in praise as they looked at the exquisite food in front of them.

"Please come in, everyone." Old Master Jiang made a gesture of invitation.

Upon hearing this, the guests picked up their chopsticks and started eating the delicious food in front of them.

"How is it? How does it taste?" Old Master Jiang looked at everyone expectantly.

"This is a really strange taste... Ugh..." A family head said this and then he fell to the ground with his limbs twitching.

The other diners had different reactions, and in an instant, the whole banquet turned into a monkey show.

Nangong Xi: ...

What's going on? Is this exquisite food just a sham?

"This is the biggest feature of the food my grandpa cooks. It's very... uh... confusing." Nangong Wuji looked at Nangong Xi, who had a puzzled look on her face.

"Confusing?" Nangong Xi looked puzzled.

"Look, isn't the appearance of the food as exquisite as a painting?" Nangong Wuji pointed at the food on the table.

"That's right." Nangong Xi nodded.

“Is it also fragrant when you smell it?” Nangong Wuji asked again.

"Yeah." Nangong Xi nodded.

“Actually, the taste of this food…how can I describe it? It’s like a medicinal juice that has been boiled for hundreds of years.” Nangong Wuji made a metaphor.

Nangong Xi shuddered when he heard this, luckily he didn't eat it.

It was like a medicinal juice that had been boiled for hundreds of years. I couldn’t imagine what it tasted like.

"Brother, have you ever eaten it?" Nangong Xi looked at Nangong Wuji with sympathy.

Nangong Wuji suddenly remembered that his grandfather had cooked several dishes of delicious food and placed them in front of him, and he had praised them.

After I took a bite, I was choked by the taste of the dish and my limbs twitched. My two stupid parents saw my feet twitching a few times and thought for a moment that my grandfather's food was effective in healing my feet, so they forced me to eat meal after meal of my grandfather's dark dishes.

That was such a painful memory!

"Brother, brother." Nangong Xi, who was standing by, saw Nangong Wuji fall into deep thought.

"Ah?" Nangong Wuji woke up from his thoughts.

"Brother, you haven't answered my question yet. Have you eaten it before?" Nangong Xi looked at Nangong Wuji.

"I have, more than once." Nangong Wuji nodded.

"So, that's why you said before that you were worried that I wouldn't have enough food to eat at the Jiang family?" Nangong Xi looked at Nangong Wuji.

"That's right. I'm just afraid that grandpa will suddenly get in the mood and want to cook himself." Nangong Wuji looked at Nangong Xi with amusement.

"What's going on, everyone?" Old Master Jiang, who was sitting in the main seat, was still puzzled.

"Quick, give everyone the Shangqing Shen Soup to soothe them." The head of the Jiang family shouted loudly.

Soon, the servants of the Jiang family quickly brought several bowls of refreshing soup and gave each of them a bowl to drink.

The twitching people gradually calmed down.

Nangong Xi looked at the head of the Jiang family speechlessly. He had known that there would be such a scene and had been prepared for it.

"Girl, why don't you eat?" Old Master Jiang looked at Nangong Xi.

"Grandpa, I have a question, can I ask you?" Nangong Xi looked at Grandpa Jiang.

"Okay, go ahead and ask." Mr. Jiang nodded.

"Have you ever eaten the food you made yourself?" This is what Nangong Xi is most confused about.

"Never eaten it." Old Master Jiang shook his head.

"Why don't you eat?" Nangong Xi looked at him speechlessly.
