Chapter 16: Not a single piece left?



When Mrs. Qin saw Qingtian for the first time, she felt that she looked very pleasing to the eye, and even had an indescribable familiarity about her.

"Such a well-behaved and sensible child, yet his father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't care about him?

"Luckily, I was lucky enough to meet such a kind family. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to save my life!"

Mrs. Qin sighed a little, and when she came to her senses, she found that the bowl of rabbit meat that was full just now had been eaten by her son, leaving only the red peppers.

"Hexuan..." Mrs. Qin looked at her youngest son in surprise.

There's not a single piece left?

This is really not something he would do.

The youngest son grew up with his father and was taught to be steady and mature, and he knows how to restrain himself.

When it comes to food and clothing, they rarely express their clear preferences.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, Mrs. Qin had hardly ever seen him act childishly.

I have never seen anyone eat up a whole bowl of food like today.

Qin Hexuan pursed his lips, which were red from the spicy food and had a faint oily sheen on them.

"I'm sorry, mother, I..."

He didn't know what happened to him. He just took a bite at first, but he couldn't put his chopsticks down.

Qin Hexuan lowered his head in shame, waiting for criticism from his mother.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qin burst out laughing, hugged her son into her arms and said, "If you like it, eat it. There's nothing to feel sorry about.

"Mom is happier watching you eat with such relish than eating by herself.

"I didn't expect Sunny's mother to be so good at cooking. It's really not easy for you to like her so much."

Mrs. Qin was so happy that she wanted to give the Ye family some reward money, and then asked Mrs. Ye to send some of the dishes she cooked in the future.

But before she could tell Li Fu to do it, she was stopped by her son.

Qin Hexuan had already wiped off the thin layer of oil on his lips, but his lips were still a little redder than usual due to the spiciness.

"Mom, I think the Ye family is different from others. They are just companions with us and have no intention of currying favor with us.

"If we give them a reward of silver, it would seem that we look down on them.

"Why not send some food over? Wouldn't it be better if everyone could give and take?"

"You are very thoughtful!" Mrs. Qin nodded repeatedly and called Li Fu over to take care of this matter.

Li Fu went downstairs to prepare a bag of fine rice and brought a piece of bacon.

Just as I was about to go over, I felt that this thing seemed a little light.

He thought for a moment, and finally picked up a box of exquisite snacks.

"Sister Ye, I didn't know your cooking skills were so good before. My wife and young master praised the food so much that they asked me to bring some food over for you."

Mrs. Ye refused repeatedly, "No, no, I'm very happy that Madam Qin and Young Master Qin don't dislike my cooking skills.

"You brought us through the customs, which is already a great favor. But after eating a bowl of food, how can I accept your things?"

Li Fu heard this and said, "Sister Ye, my young master said that friendship is based on give and take!"

"this……"

Mrs. Ye was unable to understand the meaning of Li Fu's words for a moment. She didn't know whether she should accept the things he sent her, so she had to look to her mother-in-law for help.

Li Fu was also a little overwhelmed at this time. He still didn't understand after talking about this much?

You can't just ask him to say, "My young master likes the food you cook. Can you please send me some of what you cook in the future?"

Doesn’t our young master have any shame?

Fortunately, Mrs. Ye understood what Li Fu meant and nodded, saying, "My dear wife, since Madam Qin and Young Master Qin have said so, you should accept the gift!

"Next time we make something delicious, remember to send them a portion."

Li Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Ye family still had such an insightful person.

Only after hearing what Old Lady Ye said did Sister Ye dare to take the things.

After she accepted it, she always felt that she had taken advantage of others, and couldn't help rubbing her hands and asking, "You see, I don't know what Madam Qin and Young Master Qin like to eat.

"How about you help me figure out what to make for dinner?"

Mrs. Ye led Li Fu to the flatbed truck where her luggage was loaded.

Li Fu followed in confusion, thinking to himself, can we order food here?

Two wooden barrels were placed side by side on the flatbed truck, both covered with dustpans.

Mrs. Ye lifted the dustpan and motioned Li Fu to come and see.

Li Fu followed Mrs. Ye's gesture and took a look, and immediately opened his eyes wide in shock.

I saw a large barrel with a circle of packed meat hanging along the wall. I estimated there were three or four kinds of meat.

Li Fu could only barely recognize the pork, and was not sure about the others.

I only heard Sister Ye introduce: "Here we have wild boar meat, venison, and roe deer meat. There are also a few rabbits and wild ducks in the basket over there."

As she spoke, she reached out and lifted up another dustpan. There was half a bucket of water underneath, and the sunlight reflected from the water was a little dazzling.

Li Fu moved closer and squinted his eyes to see clearly that there were seven or eight big fish swimming lazily under the water.

"This..." Li Fu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Are the Ye family really refugees fleeing famine?

No wonder they have been fleeing famine for so long, but the whole family still has rosy complexions and doesn’t look thin at all.

Judging from the food alone, the Ye family seems to be even more wealthy and powerful than the Qin family.

Li Fu couldn't help but wipe his sweat in his heart, and was extremely glad that he finally got another box of snacks.

Otherwise it wouldn't seem like you're here to give gifts, but rather to beg for food!

Seeing that Mrs. Ye was still waiting for him to order, Li Fu politely said with a guilty conscience: "You are such a good cook, you can never go wrong with anything you cook.

"This isn't a restaurant, there's no reason to order food. If the master knew, he'd definitely call me arrogant."

Mrs. Ye didn't understand the rules of wealthy families, and seeing that Li Fu insisted on not ordering any dishes, she had to give up.

Qingtian on the side suddenly said, "Mom, let's have fish tonight!"

Li Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this. The fish in the bucket were lively and must be fresher than meat.

"No problem!" Mrs. Ye never failed to satisfy her daughter's request. "If we want to eat fish on a sunny day, then mother will cook fish for you tonight!"

After Li Fu returned, he told Madam Qin about the situation at the Ye family. He was amazed and said, "It seems that the four brothers of the Ye family really have some skills. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to not only not starve but also save so much food along the way."

Although Qin Hexuan had just finished lunch, after hearing this, he was already looking forward to dinner.

"In this way, it seems like we are taking advantage of others." Mrs. Qin felt a little embarrassed.

But I have just delivered the item, and it would not look good to deliver it again immediately.

She suddenly remembered that Li Fu said that Mrs. Ye loved Qingtian very much.

"Qingtian is young and weak, and a mule cart is not as comfortable as a horse carriage.

"Why don't you go and pick up Qingtian and ride in the carriage with us!"
