Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, Ye Muyu knew quite a few famous dishes. She knew that the stir-fried at would taste good with so bean paste.
The fragrance of the stir-fried at instantly ca out, making people drool.
Old Third Du had just returned from the fields. He slled the fragrance and almost couldn’t walk.
Madam Du, who was still cooking in the straw shed, saw him and quickly waved at her man. “Co and rest for a while. I’ll cook the rice soon.”
Old Third Du was surprised. After sitting down, he saw vegetable porridge in a small iron pot and sweet potatoes buried in the fire.
He was not surprised by the food at all. A temporary worker was paid to do sothing. The family that could afford to hire a temporary worker was at least a small rich family. They could not afford to offend them. After all, if they offended them, they were afraid that they would not be able to find such a job in the future.
Those who could work temporary jobs were basically people who did not have land at ho. Those who worked for others for a living naturally did not dare to offend their employers. After all, there were many temporary jobs these days, and work had to be fought over.
He was already used to eating coarse food. If he suddenly ate good food, he was afraid that he would offend his master.
“Have so tea first.” Madam Du handed over a tea bowl. Nanchang County produced tea. So leaves on the mountain could be picked and dried to give off the taste of tea. Therefore, the people in the county drank tea every day. No matter what kind of tea it was, it was rare to drink plain water. No matter what ti it was, they had to brew so tea to feel comfortable.
n usually worked in the fields and drank tea when they returned ho. Although many tea ceremonies were done by n, in the countryside, it was tacitly agreed that the wife brewing tea was the sa as the wife cooking.
“It’s too fragrant. Unfortunately, we might not be able to eat at even if it’s only once a month.” Old Third Du was a little envious, but he felt inferior. He did not dare to say anything. He could only sll the sll and couldn’t hold it in.
When Madam Du heard this, she said in surprise, “I forgot to tell you. Our employer gave
a piece of at this ti. It’s at least three taels. Look, I hid it here and didn’t eat it. I’ll take it back and cook it for the children.”
Old Third Du looked at the at on Madam Du’s hand and was surprised. “This… Scholar’s wife is so good?”
“I was also surprised before and even specially asked. She said that it was for us, but I couldn’t bear to cook it.” Madam Du did not even need to ask Old Third Du about it.
Old Third Du was not angry. He drank the tea in big gulps and said, “It’s what we should do. It’s such a waste to cook it for us. We can smoke it dry when we go back. We can still eat it for a few more als.”
“See, I wasn’t willing to co before, but now I’m finally not losing out.” Madam Du quickly finished cooking.
She baked two more pancakes. Although they did not taste good, they were enough to fill their stomachs.
“Those with high status can’t suffer losses when they work. Don’t be greedy for small gains. These rich families hate disobedient people the most.” Old Third Du was not afraid of the heat. He just blew on it and started eating. It was torture to sll the at.
Madam Du naturally nodded.
On this end, Chu Ziluo picked up Chu Jin from the village school and headed ho. On the way ho, she t Dumbo, who was usually close to Chu Jin.
“Chu Jin, why haven’t you co to play with us recently? Last ti, you said you were going to the bridgehead to buy at.”
When Chu Jin heard this, he retorted unwillingly, “I’m not lying. I have plenty of at at ho. I don’t need to buy it myself.”
Chu Ziluo knew that these children were usually the ones who brought her brother to play. Her brother would always lose his copper coins or buy a lot of food to share with them..
