Chapter 684 Sneaking
Chu Cong has deep internal strength and his facial features are much more sensitive than ordinary people. When the boss thought that only the second child could hear what he said, in fact, Chu Cong also heard everything clearly.
She also agrees with what the boss said. Although she and Chu Fei are maids, they are not slaves. Her master has never registered them as slaves. Their household registrations are independent. They are scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. They should be regarded as workers.
Even if they were workers, one level lower than farmers, they were beyond the reach of a scoundrel boy.
The second child covets them because the toad wants to eat swan meat.
Of course, she and Chu Fei are swans.
To be honest, she looked down on her second son's rogue behavior and looked down on this family. She didn't take a fancy to any of their characters.
When the village chief's wife saw them, it was as if she was seeing a mountain of gold and silver, and her eyes were filled with tears.
In the morning, after the raw ground pot was set up, she and Chu Fei prepared the ingredients, took another couple of silver, and bought a lot of Chinese cabbage, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and radishes with the village chief. They packed them in a basket and put them away. Next to their stove.
When they were cooking in the kitchen, the eyes of the village chief's wife seemed to be glowing, staring at their pot.
Chu Fei fried potato pancakes, which made the village chief's wife feel distressed. She let out an excited ouch and shouted that there was too much oil and asked her to save some.
It’s strange that the oil they spent money on bought was too little. Why was she talkative? Didn’t they give her no money?
A pot of oil, less than five kilograms, ten kilograms of rice, and a basket of vegetables were given to her for one tael of silver. The price was three times more expensive than in the capital. What else did she want?
Do you still want them to use their own things and save them, just like she did yesterday when cooking, not even adding oil and salt?
Let them save their things and leave them with her when they leave?
Yep, what a beautiful thought.
Chu Fei was too lazy to pay attention to the village chief's wife and continued to fry his own potato cakes.
Later, Daya, the village chief's daughter, came.
You said, your eldest daughter is a daughter, she is fourteen or fifteen years old, she is about to have haircuts, she is as lazy and greedy as a child, she comes running when she smells the fragrance, her eyes almost fall out of the frying pan.
If you're so greedy, don't mention too much complaining.
It's as embarrassing as it is embarrassing.
As for Da Ya, she didn't realize it at all and took a few steps closer to the stove.
If it weren't for the fear that her saliva would flow into the pot, Chu Fei really didn't want to talk to her. In the end, she really couldn't bear it, so he told her to stand far away with a cold face, saying that he was afraid of hot oil splashing on her face.
When Da Ya heard this, she might have been frightened, so she moved her feet and took a few steps back.
When the potato pancakes were cooked, Da Ya's eyes almost popped out of her head. Her gaze never left the plate. If Chu Fei hadn't said that she didn't make much, it was enough for the two masters. Maybe Da Ya would have eaten the potato pancakes. You can open your mouth to eat.
Chu Fei did not cook much, so he made twelve. The princess ate four, but the prince had a big appetite, so he made eight for him.
Even they themselves have no share, let alone the village chief’s daughter.
Seeing that she didn't do much, the village chief's wife became very angry. She grabbed her daughter's arm and muttered, "What are you looking at? I didn't hear people saying that I didn't do much. Why are you still standing here doing it?" What, no matter how long I stand, it won’t be your fault.”
Why are those words so ugly? Fortunately, they were only staying for a few days and could leave when the rain stopped. As for what the village chief's wife said, they didn't even hear it.
You can't live in other people's houses and quarrel with them. If the village chief's wife gets angry and the two tigers dare to leave them, then where will they live?
Just so that their master could have a good sleep, they had to endure this tone.
Chu Pang was lost in thought when Chu Fei finished eating and came to replace her. Chu Pang asked her to go into the room to wait on Xia Zihan and went to the kitchen.
As soon as they entered the stove, they saw Da Ya standing by their stove, reaching out to lift their pot lids. Her face darkened and she said, "What are you looking for?"
"Ah, it's Sister Chu Cong. I...I'm not looking for anything. I just want to take a look. I see there are still sparks in your stove pit. I'm worried that the water in your pot will dry up. When the time comes, it will burn out. Pots, I don’t have any extra pots to sell to you.”
Daya has a sweet mouth. After meeting her yesterday, she kept calling her "sister and brother", especially to Zheng Wenting. Seeing that Zheng Wenting was a master and a young master from a wealthy family, she almost pounced on him.
When she saw Zheng Wenting, she called Brother Wen. The sound was so loud that it would make her arms crawl. Zheng Wenting was also frightened by her and had not even left the house until today.
"The fire is out, and there is too much water in the pot to burn it dry. Thank you for your kindness." Chu Cong walked over and thanked him coldly.
Da Ya is also thick-skinned. She was obviously caught, but she acted like nothing happened. She retracted her hand and said with a smile, "That's it, then I'll feel relieved."
Chu Cong opened the lid of the pot, took out a bowl of sorghum rice, and a plate of hot and sour Chinese cabbage. He stood by the pot and started eating.
They had dinner separately from the village chief's family. The village chief's family ate in the hall. They couldn't occupy the hall anymore, so they planned to change the place of eating to the west room. However, at this moment, she was worried about Da Ya, so she simply , just eat here.
She was worried that as soon as she left, that big girl would sneak up and lift the lid of her pot and do something, which would be terrible.
Her eldest son hasn’t eaten yet, and her eldest son and the princess are both mysophobic. They don’t like to be touched by strangers, no matter what they eat, wear, or use. If Da Ya touches the food in the pot, If the prince knows about the food, he will definitely not eat a bite.
Therefore, she must keep an eye on Da Ya and not let her do anything to make the prince angry.
When Da Ya saw her eating, she didn't even ask her if she wanted to eat. She just snorted twice and became unhappy.
Everything in this pot belongs to her family, even the firewood belongs to her family. Why is she not allowed to eat her food if it is made in her family?
Huh... these people are too stingy.
Da Ya kicked the ground, stepped on her shoes, and left unhappy.
Chu Cang finished a bowl of sorghum rice and a plate of hot and sour Chinese cabbage in a few clicks. Then he quickly washed the bowls, put the clean bowls into the pot, and closed the lid.
With what happened before, Chu Xang was worried about Da Ya, so he took a rag and wiped it on the stove.
Chu Fei came in with a bowl and a plate. Chu Cang looked up and saw two potato cakes left. She said, "Keep them for Shengdi and Ma Bao."
"I'm going to deliver food to Shengdi." Chu Fei said.
Shengdi is guarded on the carriage, and there is Nuanyu on the carriage. No one dares to leave there. One of the four of them will always take turns guarding the carriage.
