Chapter 37 The Defeated Maid
Xie Zaozao was not surprised. The cabbage grown in the spiritual field must have a different taste from ordinary ones. It was fresh, sweet and crispy, and it was fragrant when eaten raw, not to mention that she also added some other good things.
Xie Zao Zao readily agreed.
Tingfeng Pavilion also has a small kitchen with all the necessary supplies, but it has not been used for a long time. Xie Zao had cooked for his master many times when he was in the sect, so he was very familiar with the process.
She made a dish of cold shredded vegetables and millet and pumpkin porridge. She mixed the shredded vegetables with sugar and vinegar, and added a few drops of sesame oil and shredded peppers. The millet and pumpkin were what Aunt Fang put in the small kitchen every month.
I used to put it here as it was and take it back at the end of the month, but now it’s finally useful.
Adding some Yuanqi Dan, the millet porridge becomes fragrant.
Shuyue held the food and walked carefully towards Fu Yanzhi's room.
[Ding, 'Win the Attention of the Superiors' today's progress, completion rate (2/5)].
It's also pretty good to get two at once.
Housekeeper Liu was naturally not a problem. Even Chen Jiayou rushed to punch in and chased after Xie Zaozao, begging to hold the child: "Miss Xie, you go and do your thing. I'll help you look after the child. Miss Xie, don't get tired."
Some people who didn't know what was going on secretly went to find Min Lu and said that Senior Brother Chen Jiayou seemed to have taken a fancy to this young widow with a child.
Min Lu felt unwell.
She and Chen Jiayou came to the Fu family together. Both of them came from poor families. The difference was that Chen Jiayou was more talented than her, so he started to help his family over the years, and the Chen family began to become more and more wealthy.
Min Lu's family is a group of blood-sucking worms. They rely on her knowledge of mysterious arts and dare to ask her to do anything. The most exaggerated time was when she went home on leave and used her Shikigami to help her neighbor Aunt Wang fish out an old sow that fell into a stinky ditch.
The talisman paper she uses to draw Shikigami is much more expensive than that old sow, okay?!
But if you don’t help, you are an unfilial child!
Min Lu felt desolate and just wanted to finish her studies as soon as possible and get away from home.
But deep down in her heart, she always believed that Chen Jiayou was different. He understood her humbleness and helplessness, and she also understood his hard work and difficulties.
They were supposed to be together.
But what's up with this young widow with a child???
Could it be that Senior Brother Chen is bewitched by her beauty?
Min Lu was in a trance the whole day and almost burned the hair of other alchemists in class, so she was ordered to copy spells as punishment.
While she was copying the spell, she saw Chen Jiayou leaving the school happily. It was obvious where he was going.
Min Lu was so angry that she broke a brush.
Everything went very smoothly for Xie Zaozao, including for Bitao.
In the past few days, Bitao's sleeping position was different every night. First, she slept on the ground, then behind the door. Sometimes when the wind was strong outside and the door banged loudly, Xie Zaozao would use her to press down the door panel.
One day, Xie Zaozao was too lazy to think about the position, so he just laid her on the ground.
As a result, when he went back to his room to sleep, he had to cross the threshold and step over Bitao who was lying on the ground.
It seems a bit of a hindrance here and could easily cause people to trip.
He just hung her on the door panel.
Sometimes, Bi Tao would feel a little guilty and say politely, "How about I separate the beds so each of us can sleep in one?"
Xie Zao Zao directly refused: "A big bed is better."
"Ah, yes, a big bed is better." Bitao was confused and thought that Xie Zaozao was a very nice person, but she didn't know what was wrong.
On the eighteenth day of Xie Zaozao's massage for Bitao, Bitao finally couldn't stand it anymore. Since Xie Zaozao started massaging her, her sleep quality has improved, and she can sleep all night without waking up. However, she felt uncomfortable during the day. First, her arms ached, then she had diarrhea for a whole day, and then her legs started to hurt. One day, she had a bump on the back of her head.
No matter how dumb Bitao was, she could sense that something was wrong.
Could it be that Xie Zaozao was playing tricks on her under the guise of massage?
So at night, when she was lying in bed and Xie Zao Zao came over to give her a massage, she refused: "Well, Zao Zao, you've worked hard these past few days, so you don't have to give me a massage."
Xie Zaozao didn't say anything, just pointed out the window and said, "It's snowing."
Bi Tao looked outside and said, "No."
As a result, Xie Zao Zao stabbed him in the back and he fainted.
Then Xie Zaozao dragged her off the bed and threw her aside, then he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
On the third day, Bitao decided to sleep in the woodshed by herself. However, just as she fell asleep, Xie Zaozao pricked her with the acupuncture needle and threw her on the ground to catch the cold wind.
After two months, Bitao's face became extremely pale, and she swayed when the wind blew past her.
Bitao didn't know what was wrong with her, and she even went to Shuyue to ask for an exorcism talisman to stick on her bedside, but it had little effect.
Even Shuyue could see that Bitao seemed to be dying. She was in a daze and her steps were unsteady. She examined her carefully and concluded that she was worried too much and had internal and external injuries.
Shuyue also asked her considerately: "Do you always have nightmares at night?"
With dark circles under her eyes, Bitao recalled her past few days and found that she had never had a nightmare. She always fell asleep and woke up in seconds.
Because of the special terrain of Tingshuixie, evil spirits appear from time to time. Could it be that it has attracted dirty things?
Shuyue didn't sense any evil spirit possessing her, so she advised Bitao: "Are you too tired recently? Why don't you go home and rest?"
To Bitao, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Why, now that Xie Zaozao is here, she can go home?
What's so great about this woman?
Bitao decided to hold on!
After being a human clothes rack for three nights under Xie Zaozao's manipulation, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Although I can't let Xie take advantage of the opportunity early, but if I die, won't Xie take advantage of it early?
So he asked for leave and left in a bad mood. Before leaving, he deliberately held Shuyue's hand and said, "You can't let this girl into the master's room. She has a history of climbing into the master's bed!"
Shuyue looked puzzled. Old Master Fu always told him that if any little girl approached Fu Yanzhi, he should never stop her and let as many as he could get.
What's going on with this peach?
Bitao left feeling aggrieved.
Xie Zaozao was the only one left in the whole yard.
The system subtracted Bitao's check-in times, and the number of people checking in every day was only four.
But at the same time, Xie Zaozao was almost done with her cabbage.
She only had a few cabbages, and she took her time to make a small dish for Fu Yanzhi every day. It was amazing that she could persist for so long.
At first, Fu Yanzhi was given stir-fried cabbage, then cold shredded vegetables, then cabbage soup, and later it became shredded vegetable soup. Anyway, each time he was given more and more stingy food.
Fortunately it is winter, otherwise the cabbages would have rotted away long ago.
Fu Yanzhi was surprisingly not picky. Once, she put a few shreds of egg in a bowl of egg drop soup, and he ate it without complaint. He even praised her out loud: "That's how you should be frugal."
Xie Zao Zao thought to herself, it's so easy to feed him.
Xie Zaozao vaguely found the story of Lin Zhaoyu's picky eating in the original owner's memory. One summer, the weather was hot and Master Lin had a poor appetite. He was lazy to eat anything. The small kitchen brought him all kinds of delicious food like water day after day, but he didn't eat a single bite.
Old Madam Lin was feeling upset when Lin Zhaoyu suddenly asked for barbecue for the first time, and he wanted to eat roasted lamb, roasted beef and roasted venison. Old Madam Lin simply prepared a barbecue banquet for him and called all the acquaintances to come.
Finally, the meat was roasted and everyone arrived. Young Master Lin said that the smoke and fire had no appetite, so he ate a few mouthfuls of mixed cucumber and ran away, fanning himself.
Xie Zaozao: ...You're just bored after eating too much. Just fight a few times and you'll be fine.
In short, Fu Yanzhi is much easier to serve than Young Master Lin. Young Master Lin is simply the public enemy of women.
Thinking of this, Xie Zao Zao took out the last few leaves of cabbage, cut off the wilted and stale parts, and prepared to stir-fry them with the pork belly.
Just when she finished working in the small kitchen, the curtain at the door was lifted and the person who came in was not Shuyue, but Mr. Fu.
