Chapter 99: Just Be Obedient
EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, Ye Muyu knew quite a few famous dishes. She knew that the stir-fried meat would taste good with some bean paste.
The fragrance of the stir-fried meat instantly came out, making people drool.
Old Third Du had just returned from the fields. He smelled 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. “Come 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 something. 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 home. 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 some tea first.” Madam Du handed over a tea bowl. Nanchang County produced tea. Some 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 time it was, they had to brew some tea to feel comfortable.
Men usually worked in the fields and drank tea when they returned home. Although many tea ceremonies were done by men, in the countryside, it was tacitly agreed that the wife brewing tea was the same as the wife cooking.
“It’s too fragrant. Unfortunately, we might not be able to eat meat 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 smell the smell and couldn’t hold it in.
When Madam Du heard this, she said in surprise, “I forgot to tell you. Our employer gave me a piece of meat this time. 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 meat 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 meals.”
“See, I wasn’t willing to come 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 smell the meat.

Madam Du naturally nodded.
On this end, Chu Ziluo picked up Chu Jin from the village school and headed home. On the way home, she met Dumbo, who was usually close to Chu Jin.
“Chu Jin, why haven’t you come to play with us recently? Last time, you said you were going to the bridgehead to buy meat.”
When Chu Jin heard this, he retorted unwillingly, “I’m not lying. I have plenty of meat at home. 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..
