Chapter 154: Life-saving Grace

The two grooms were indeed hungry, but they were servants and dared not eat without their master's consent.

The two of them stretched their heads and looked eagerly at the mistress in the yard.

Only after Yun Lan nodded slightly did they dare to accept it.

"Bah, she gives it to me but not to us. She's really picky. Let's go back. Who wants to see her?"

"That's right. Those two people are dressed the same. They are obviously servants. They are not worthy of eating meat. The Jiang family is really rich. They are unwilling to support people from the same village as us, but they are so nice to two servants. They lack virtue."

"She just opened a shop, but she is so proud of it. People who don't know her would think she has made a lot of money. Such precious meat, if she gives it to servants, isn't it the same as feeding it to dogs? This means that in her eyes, we are worse than dogs."

“….”

I don't know who said such a discordant word.

The crowd suddenly quieted down.

Good man, this is a scolding to them all.

Everyone's face turned pale and blue.

The person who had spoken also reacted. She closed her mouth tightly and pretended that she had not said it.

It took a long time before the topic changed.

The onlookers once again pointed at Zhang Jinlan.

But he didn't dare to curse loudly.

After all, Zhang Jinlan's image as a spoiled wife was deeply rooted in their hearts.

Everyone remembers the scene many years ago when Zhang Jinlan threw feces at Jiang Sanzhu's family.

It was because these two men sent their daughters to be concubines.

The couple ate a very filling meal.

When people think of that scene, they vomit.

After delivering the barbecue to the two grooms, Zhang Jinlan returned to the yard and closed the door again.

The women of the Jiang family all sat at the table and ate with the guests.

Jiang Dahe brought his two younger brothers and eldest son, and was responsible for grilling the skewers, spreading the ingredients, and serving the dishes.

Even the maids and thugs came to help.

Some are threading the skewers, while others are pouring water.

Since no one of the same age came to the Fang family, Jiang Shoujia naturally didn't need to entertain guests. He sat on a small stool outside the kitchen and ate in silence.

Keep silent.

Men and women should be very careful.

It would be better to leave the task of entertaining the mistress of the Fang family to his wife.

"Auntie Yun, Sister Wanru, you two are eating grilled sausages."

Jiang Fubao held a freshly grilled sausage in each hand. There was no chili powder on it, but there was a lot of cumin powder sprinkled on it, which smelled particularly fragrant.

Unlike the grilled sausages baked on pebbles, this one is juicy and oily, and it sizzles when you bite into it.

The sausages grilled over an open fire with fruit wood are drier and less greasy, but they are crispy on the outside and still juicy inside, making them suitable for people who cannot eat greasy food.

It just so happens that the Fang family is wealthy, unlike the Jiang family which is short of money.

The mother and daughter like to eat light food.

They took the sausage and took a bite.

The four eyes suddenly became sparkling.

"Mother, it's delicious. Thank you, Sister Fubao. So this is the grilled sausage you were talking about. Lai Di didn't lie to me. The food you make is really delicious. It's much better than the food in my restaurant."

Fang Wanru seemed particularly excited.

In Chang'an Town, her family's Sifang Restaurant is already one of the best in the town.

Having grown up in luxury, Fang Wanru had long been tired of her own family's dishes.

The grilled sausage in her hand made her eyes light up.

A lot of saliva is secreted.

"Nonsense, how can it compare to your restaurant? It's just our homemade snacks. Do you like it? Come on, have another one."

Zhang Jinlan smiled and handed her another grilled sausage.

Fang Wanru took it and finished it in just a few bites without even thinking it was hot. She had a big appetite and went to the barbecue stove to get some skewers of meat and vegetables. She ate without even raising her head.

Yun Lan was not that exaggerated, but she still ate ten skewers before stopping.

I tried each skewer.

Except for the ones she doesn't like to eat.

Soon, Zhang Jinlan brought another plate of sliced ​​watermelon and placed it on the table.

He only took a piece from the middle part for Yunlan.

This is the sweetest.

"Mrs. Yun, have some watermelon to relieve your greasy feeling. This watermelon has no seeds, so it's easy to eat and very sweet. I put it in a jar to cool it down, so it tastes especially cool and refreshing."

It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation.

Yunlan took the watermelon with a smile.

She actually doesn't like to eat this kind of melon.

Not only was it not sweet, it was also a bit sour, and she hated sour things the most.

It's not like a soft peach, it's so sweet and juicy when you bite it.

It looks like the peaches will be ripe in just a month.

When the time comes, she will ask her husband to send someone to Lin Province to bring some back so that she can enjoy a satisfying meal.

Yunlan thought in her heart.

However, this was the first time she had seen a seedless watermelon, so she decided to give it a try.

She wanted to take a symbolic bite just for show; after all, it was Auntie Lan who gave it to her specially, so she had to give her some face.

But at the moment the watermelon touched the tip of my tongue.

She was stunned.

sweet!

It is too sweet!

How can there be such a sweet watermelon?

Sweeter than a peach.

When she took a bite, the juice splashed everywhere, even flowing from the corners of her mouth onto her skirt.

The waist-length skirt was milky white, so that the few drops of red watermelon juice on the skirt were particularly obvious.

Yunlan didn't notice.

She was addicted to the delicious taste of watermelon.

"Auntie Lan, are these watermelons grown by you? Do you have any left? I want to buy some."

Yunlan wanted to ask what secret recipe there was to grow such sweet seedless watermelons, but before she opened her mouth, she realized what was going on.

It is very rude to ask others for their secret recipe. Maybe this is their way to make money.

So he changed his mind and said he wanted to buy some to take back.

Save it for later consumption.

After all, watermelons can last at least seven or eight days.

"No, we don't grow watermelons at home. We bought these in town. The stall owner said that these were wild watermelons picked from the mountains. There were only a few of them, and I happened to come across them, so I bought them all. You came at the right time, too. There is only one left today. If Madam Yun likes them, I will buy some and send them to your house if I run into that stall owner next time."

Zhang Jinlan just doesn't know how to repay Yunlan.

After all, she saved her two granddaughters.

The two children were almost sent into slavery. Although Madam Yun did not say how much money was spent, she guessed that it was at least no less than five taels.

It is not easy to get along with people who are like human traffickers.

Be sure to make back the original money.

Besides, I just heard her say that.

That damn old hag signed a death contract with the human trafficker.

This shows that they don't want to leave any chance for these two children to survive.

A maid who has signed a death contract is worse than a pig or a dog.

At least pigs can live peacefully for another year. They are well fed and well fed on weekdays, and are slaughtered when they are fattened up for the New Year. Dogs live even more freely. As long as they take good care of the house, they can live peacefully until old age.

Unless there is a disaster year and there is not enough food.

Otherwise, there are very few families who are not short of money and would eat their own old dogs.

After all, there are shops selling dog meat everywhere, so if you want to eat it, just go and buy it.

She doesn't look like a maid at all.

After signing a living contract, the master of the house will at most give the person a few scoldings and won't go too far, after all, the time specified in the contract is up.

The maid can leave.
