Chapter 7 The Taste is Really Strong

"Why you again? If you weren't a woman, I would have spanked you long ago. Now, while I'm in a good mood, tell me!"

The leader paused for a moment, glanced at Cheng Weiyao's pretty face, and nodded compassionately.

"The pork is of course for you all to enjoy. As for the other bones and offal, could you please show some mercy and give them to us?"

Before coming, Cheng Weiyao had carefully considered the words and could sum it up in one word: praise!

It's just verbal flattery, but the benefits in return are real.

"Pig offal, I used to feed that to dogs, but they wouldn't eat it..."

"This Madam Qinghe looks fair and tender, but she has quite a strong taste... In my opinion, she's a bargain."

Several officers exchanged glances, discussed it with each other, and nodded.

Cheng Weiyao heaved a sigh of relief, and with a smile on her face, she returned to her seat carrying the skeleton and pig offal. Before she even sat down, the other people who had fled with her started to express their disdain.

"You are indeed a concubine's daughter who is not worthy of being on the stage. How can you even eat something like this? And you still have the nerve to beg for mercy. You are a disgrace to our Qinghe Palace!"

Wen Liyu pinched her nose coquettishly and hid beside the imperial concubine.

"Wei Yao, this thing is definitely not suitable for consumption. Why don't we just give up?"

The Imperial Concubine's face turned slightly pale, and it was hard for her to imagine what the scene would be like when these things entered her mouth.

A freshly killed wild boar, in addition to its bloody appearance, inevitably has a fresh and strong fishy smell. For Cheng Weiyao, this represents freshness.

For Wen Liyu and the Imperial Noble Consort, who were once princesses and imperial concubines, the lethality of vision and smell is undoubtedly enormous. After all, they have always eaten ready-made delicacies.

"How about I stay away?"

Cheng Weiyao secretly glanced at Wen Chengyun's calm expression, unable to guess what he was thinking. For the sake of her own development, she chose to give in.

When they moved, they happened to arrive just in time when the officials had already dealt with the wild boar and were just about to throw away the pig fat. The large chunks of fat and soft tissue were so white that Cheng Weiyao's eyes sparkled.

"You like it? Here's a reward for you."

The officer raised an eyebrow, having obviously noticed Cheng Weiyao's different expression. The Qinghe Palace was once considered a royal family, but he had never expected such a vulgar hostess to sneak in...

"Thank you, sir!"

Cheng Wei Yao sent the official away with a smile and successfully bought the whole wild boar's fat. The ancients didn't know the value of it, so it would only be a bargain for herself, right?

The officers were all strong men who started to roast the meat skillfully. The aroma of roasted wild boar soon filled everyone's nose.

In addition to the laughter of the officers, there was also the sound of people swallowing their saliva.

While they were feeling miserable, they also kept an eye on the Qinghe King family. After all, even if they were hungry, it was better than eating something that even dogs wouldn't eat...

Wen Liyu naturally noticed the gazes of the crowd. She turned sideways uncomfortably and hid behind the Imperial Concubine.

Back then, I was a princess, and others had to consider whether they were qualified to look at me. But now, look what happened! It's all because of this unlucky Cheng Weiyao!

"Cheng Weiyao, could you please stay away from our house? It's fine if you bully me, but my brother finally killed a wild boar and couldn't even eat the meat, yet you bring these vulgar things out to embarrass yourself..."

Wen Liyu became more and more angry and started to find fault, but Cheng Weiyao ignored her and just rolled her eyes silently while lowering her head to deal with the lard.

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Expecting this high-and-mighty Princess to recognize her own identity in a short period of time is probably a foolish dream. Just wait, the road is long, and she will wake up after a while...

"Brother! Look at her, she's ignoring everyone now!"

Seeing that Cheng Weiyao was ignoring her, Wen Liyu changed her target.

Cheng Wei Yao wanted to laugh when she heard this. This sister-in-law must have graduated from kindergarten. She always complains.

It’s a pity that when you want to file a complaint, you have to choose someone who is in charge. My husband is a gentle person and can only be a peacemaker.

"Ayu, stop talking."

Wen Chengyun's slightly harsh tone fell into Cheng Weiyao's ears. She turned her eyes aside, feeling a little surprised. For the first time in her life, he actually spoke to her in a somewhat favorable manner?

"Is there anything I need you to do for my wife?"

When he met Cheng Weiyao's eyes, Wen Chengyun misunderstood her and took the initiative to step forward to help.

"It wasn't me who hurt Liyu back then. She couldn't stand still, I just gave her a hand..."

Cheng Weiyao seized the opportunity and explained quietly while the two were close.

"Madam, this matter has passed. Don't mention it again."

Wen Chengyun turned his face away, looking unmoved.

"Husband, don't you believe me?"

Cheng Weiyao curled her lips. This time, Wen Chengyun saved her, so she would just write off the slander against her by Wen Liyu. Others could see it however they wanted, but Wen Chengyun must not misunderstand!

She is now basically certain that her space should be related to the attitude of the male protagonist, and she must increase the necessary favorability.

"How could that be? Please light the fire for your wife as a husband..."

Wen Chengyun lowered his eyes and avoided answering.

Cheng Weiyao frowned and was about to try to say something more, but she was surprised to find that her space could be opened again?!

Her eyes fell on the angry Wen Chengyun. This husband looked unresponsive, but was he actually a bit of a tsundere? She was secretly developing a fondness for him, wasn't she?

The fire was quickly lit, and Cheng Wei Yao began to boil the lard, while everyone's eyes switched back and forth between the official and Cheng Wei Yao.

Seeing the official eating meat, he was so greedy that he looked at Cheng Weiyao's pot full of white meat and felt disgusted, but it was balanced for a while.

However, soon, the white meat in the pot gradually turned into golden oil residue, and the fragrance also floated up. Everyone's eyes began to stay on Cheng Weiyao for a long time.

"Husband, give some to everyone."

Cheng Weiyao scooped up the oil residue, took out a small box full of salt from her bag, and shook it gently.

This should be a delicacy full of childhood memories. I didn't expect that I would feel younger while fleeing famine...

"What is this? I don't want to eat it, brother, please give it to someone else..."

Wen Liyu shook her head like the wave when she saw Wen Chengyun walking towards her. She would rather starve to death than eat a single bite of Cheng Weiyao's food!

"Chengyun, I'm not hungry yet..."

The imperial concubine's attitude softened a lot, but her rejection was still obvious.

After being rejected repeatedly, Wen Chengyun took Cheng Weiyao's face into consideration and sat down with the oil residue, intending to solve the problem himself.

"Brother, I want to try..."

In the end, Wen Chengming gently resolved the awkward situation. He blinked his eyes and looked at the golden oil residue in his brother's bowl.

It smells nice when it’s made, so it should taste pretty good. The snacks my sister-in-law gave me were delicious, so the ones I make myself should be even better!
