Chapter 122 How dare you take advantage of my man
lobby.
I heard a disgusting sound before I even entered.
"Tell me, who ate the chicken leg? You or those two slaves?"
"Hey, hey, it's just two chicken legs, Yueju, it's not necessary." Xu Wude's voice.
"Master, you can't indulge these unruly slaves. This isn't just a matter of two chicken legs. You can eat any piece of meat. Why did you choose the best? What does this mean? It means you don't take the master seriously!"
Aunt Liao, I'm giving you one last chance. Did you eat it or did those two people eat it?"
Aunt Liao knelt on the ground, feeling extremely ashamed.
Although eating the chicken leg was wrong, she didn't expect to be pointed out in front of so many maids and servants. She was really embarrassed.
From now on, she would no longer have the nerve to call herself the second housekeeper of the Xu Mansion.
The Second Madam finally caught her mistake and will definitely kick her out this time!
Her mouth felt as bitter as if she had eaten coptis root.
"Master, Second Madam, it's..."
"We ate it." Sang Ning pushed Huo Changan in and said loudly.
She had a sullen face and a mocking look in her eyes: "Why? Master Xu can't even afford to treat someone to two chicken legs?"
Xu Wude was embarrassed.
Although he is stingy, he is not that stingy.
What's more, the whole table of food was cooked by someone else.
"Yueju! Stop messing around! Get out if you don't want to eat!" He got angry.
When he got angry, the Second Madam was frightened. She pursed her red, scary mouth and stopped talking, but her eyes were still fixed on Huo Changan.
Huo Changan looked over sharply and saw the woman's eyes, like a dog seeing a bone.
He immediately lowered his head in disgust, feeling nauseous, and his eyes gradually became murderous.
Xu Wude asked Aunt Liao to get up and said, "Send some food to the Madam."
Aunt Liao hesitated to speak, glanced at Sang Ning, and stood up to serve some of each dish.
Xu Wude felt very embarrassed.
"Master Huo, Madam Sang, please forgive me for laughing. This dish is truly rare. My wife has never tried it, and she wouldn't come out even if I called her... The rest should be enough for us, right?"
Well, it was clearly a treat for them, so now it becomes that she has to cook, not only for them, but also for their whole family?
Disgusting!
Sang Ning had a cold face and said nothing. He pushed Huo Changan to sit down, picked up the empty bowl next to him and started to pick up some food.
A dramatic scene then occurred.
Xu Wude stood up as if his butt was on fire, and started to sweep with his big empty bowl.
The same is true for the second wife.
Sang Ning was so shocked that he said nothing and joined the rush to grab the items.
Damn, I can’t eat anything I made with so much effort, right?
Huo Changan: "..."
I really can't bear to see Sang Ning snatch it all by himself.
He simply picked up the large bowl of firewood chicken and placed it in front of him, then picked up two pancakes and took a bite of each.
It's his.
Isn’t it their fault for eating chicken legs?
He not only ate the chicken legs, but also left them with nothing to eat.
"No, Master Huo, you..."
That's not how it's done!
Xu Wude was dumbfounded. He only picked up three pieces of chicken!
"Master Xu, I'll just eat this one dish. I'll leave the rest to you."
Huo Changan picked up the chicken pieces with more meat and less bones and put them into Sang Ning's bowl.
Sang Ning returned the favor by putting the stuffed meat and lotus root slices he had snatched onto his plate.
The two of them just lowered their heads and started eating.
Xu Wude was so regretful. He was too gentlemanly just now!
No, they behaved so elegantly and politely just now, no one expected that!
Aren't they just competing to see who can eat faster? They didn't mention taking up space.
Can he reach out his chopsticks again to grab the two pieces?
The second wife's eyes moved around Huo Changan, and suddenly she smiled.
"Master, why don't you invite this lady Sang to be your cook?"
Xu Wude's eyes lit up.
yes!
This way he can eat this delicious dish every day.
Sang Ning glanced at the second wife sideways. She was ugly, but she had beautiful thoughts.
"You can't afford it." Huo Changan didn't even raise his head. His voice was neither happy nor angry, but it was like a final decision.
He had just used this tone to discuss the issue of taking back the shop with him.
One shop offered to exchange one stone of rice for one stone of rice, and there was no bargaining involved. It was either exchanged or not, without a single word, and it almost drove people crazy.
Do you know how to do business? How can this be possible?
Food is so expensive now!
But in the end, after weighing the pros and cons, he agreed. He felt very aggrieved because none of the words he had prepared were used.
This is not a discussion at all, it is Huo Changan who makes the decision.
The more Xu Wude thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't afford it. Why couldn't he afford it?
He can't even invite a prisoner?
Gritting his teeth, he offered a sky-high price: "Twenty taels of silver a month, plus five liters of flour!"
You have to know that Aunt Liao worked for the Xu family all her life and only earned five taels of silver a month. Twenty taels is enough to make four Aunt Liaos.
Xu Wude was sure that Sang Ning would be moved.
After all, there are so many people in their family, young and old, and the food they earn from the shop will eventually run out. A smart person will never live off the savings.
Little did he know that Huo Changan's words would shatter his sense of superiority.
"This table of dishes is of such quality that it could be sold for one thousand taels in the capital."
One thousand taels!
Just a meal!
Xu Wude felt like an ignorant country bumpkin again.
The Second Madam stared at Huo Changan and spoke in a pretentious manner, "Mr. Huo also said that that was the capital. And now, you are in Liangzhou! Who in Liangzhou City is as rich as my Xu family? Let alone one thousand taels, even five taels of silver, no one would be willing to spend it on a few dishes.
How many people are trying their best to work in the Xu Mansion, not to mention your status, no one dares to hire you here, and you can only do the hardest and most tiring menial jobs.
My master is giving you a way to survive!"
The last sentence was said with great earnestness, like a bodhisattva bestowing grace.
What she said makes a lot of sense, and I would love to see it applied to anyone.
Huo Changan didn't say anything.
Just lower your head and eat seriously.
Speed without sacrificing elegance.
Sang Ning did the same, without even raising his head.
Xu Wude thought something was going on, so he filled his mouth with food and motioned for the second wife to continue.
"If Mr. Huo is worried, you can come with me to the mansion. I'm still short of a gardener in my yard. I'll pay him... ten taels of silver a month. What do you think?"
Ten taels of silver for a gardener is a bit too much!
Xu Wude winked at her.
However, the Second Madam didn't notice it at all. She just stared at Huo Changan and waited for him to speak.
Huo Changan finished his meal and looked at Sang Ning. She only had one bite left.
So he turned his wheelchair backwards and hid behind Sang Ning. The sound was not loud but everyone present could hear it.
"Madam, this lady has been staring at me since I came in. She even rubbed me with her feet just now. What does she want to do?"
The second wife opened her eyes wide in shock.
When did she touch him?
Xu Wude's eyes became even more fierce, and shot towards the second wife like sharp swords.
Everyone in the mansion knows that Xu Wude hates unfaithful women the most since his third wife eloped with someone!
For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen.
The maids serving on both sides all lowered their heads.
But he was angry, and someone was even angrier.
There was a loud bang, and Sang Ning threw the bowl aside. She stood up, one foot on a stool, pointed her finger at the Second Madam's nose, and cursed, "I've been putting up with you for so long! Do you really think I can't see those restless eyes of yours?"
Your man can't satisfy you? How dare you set your sights on my man! And even ask me to be your cook? Bah! Your real purpose is not to drink! "
Sang Ning really didn't expect that this woman was so disgusting. Xu Wude was still alive, and she was also here, but she was so shameless as to seduce him!
