Chapter 239 The Old Widow "Adds Fuel to the Fire"



Hua Yuanyuan in the kitchen was so frightened that she started howling like a ghost.

A "food thief" was jumping up and down at her feet.

Yu Qingqing held a wooden stick in her hand and didn't know where to start.

When the people outside heard the screams inside, they ran in immediately.

The first to be hit was Yuan Xichen, but he had just come in and hadn't even stood firmly when he was tripped by a figure.

"Ah! Be careful!" Hua Qinglu exclaimed and quickly went to pull Yu Qingqing who was about to fall to the ground.

Yuan Xichen reacted quickly and pushed Yu Qingqing forward so that she did not fall to the ground.

Yu Qingqing's face was also full of shock. She went to kill the rat and didn't expect that someone would suddenly jump out.

Looking closely, isn't this Yuan Xichen? Yu Qingqing was reminded of that not-so-nice moment back then, and subconsciously distanced herself from him.

Yuan Xichen felt hurt when he saw Yu Qingqing's reaction.

He dusted off the dust and then asked with concern: "Miss Qingqing, long time no see! Are you okay just now? I hope you are not hurt."

Yuan Xichen looked at the petite and cute person in front of him with extremely bright eyes, and his heart also felt soft.

Yu Qingqing leaned sideways, her face flushed.

She was a little unnatural and stammered: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

After saying that, he walked outside without even looking up.

After this farce, the mouse had disappeared without a trace.

When people outside realized it was a misunderstanding, they didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the dishes were ready, Yu Qingshu and his companions went to borrow more than ten tables and chairs from their neighbors, so that they could all sit down.

The workers still ate at the original place, so it didn't have any impact.

There were only a few dishes on the table, and although they were not many in number, they were large in quantity.

With so many dishes, they needed help from others to make them. It would definitely not be possible for Yu Qingqing and the others to do it alone.

This time, Yu Qingqing made deep-fried crab wrapped in eggs and a big bowl of chicken mushroom and bone soup.

There was wild boar meat fried with dogwood, a large plate of spicy fried prawns, and another large plate of stir-fried vegetables.

It is colorful, fragrant and delicious, making people drool just by looking at it.

On Yu Qingshu's table, there were more than ten kinds of food brought by Yuan Xichen, including osmanthus cake, crystal pork elbow, beggar's chicken, and pickled cabbage.

Taking into account that men and women sit at different tables, Yuan Xichen specially divides the food into two portions so that everyone can eat.

Seeing the delicious food in front of them, the guards brought by Yuan Xichen felt as if they were about to be overwhelmed by the fragrance.

The lunch was a very enjoyable one for both the host and the guests.

Soon there was only a mess left on the table, and those who had eaten could not stop savoring the taste.

Yuan Xichen also felt that these dishes had a unique flavor.

I never thought that the Yu family’s cooking skills were so good.

After the meal, Yu Qingshu chatted with Yuan Xichen. Yuan Xichen did not put on airs and looked very approachable.

Only the guards and Yuan Yi beside them knew that their master was experiencing a situation that was rarely seen in a hundred years.

This time, they were able to eat such delicious food thanks to their master.

Yuan Xichen didn't expect that these things were actually thought up by Yu Qingqing.

He praised her without reservation: "Miss Qingqing, you are really clever and skillful. Your cooking skills are so amazing. Whoever marries her in the future will be so lucky!"

Yuan Xichen really praised her in his heart, and at the same time he was also fantasizing about the obsession in his heart.

He really didn't expect that there would be "chicken mushroom", a kind of edible mushroom.

The soup is so delicious that it is addictive.

There are so many things in the mountains. They must have missed a lot of food.

After all, he is a prince and has his own soldiers.

He himself couldn't even count the amount of money he spent on maintaining the army every year.

He also handed over his shop to his subordinates to manage. With so many soldiers to support, he felt that he was barely making ends meet.

Yu Qingshu smiled happily. He was naturally very happy when others praised his daughter.

He also always felt that Yuan Xichen seemed to be paying some attention to his third daughter, but he didn't know if it was his illusion.

He shook off the thought in his head, thinking it was impossible.

It's obvious that Master Yuan is of good status; it's probably just that he likes making friends more.

Although Yuan Xichen was chatting with Yu Qingshu, his eyes were looking towards Yu Qingqing intentionally or unintentionally.

It was obvious that Miss Yu had misunderstood him in the kitchen just now. When he had the chance, he would definitely ask her in person.

After lunch at noon, the workers found a shady place to rest.

The weather today is not as hot and humid as before, and the sun is still hanging high in the sky as usual.

The roads here are lined with trees, so it is not difficult to find a shady spot.

About a quarter of an hour later, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the scene.

"Don't be fooled, this thing is poisonous, you really want to die!

I think you guys are really crazy about money, you believe them even though they just came."

An old woman with a wrinkled face, leaning on a dirty cane, followed a group of women.

The old woman is a widow and she usually lives with her son and daughter-in-law.

A group of women were walking towards Yu Qingqing's house, holding mushrooms in their arms.

When they heard what the old widow said, they felt a little hesitant. What if someone else made a mistake with this thing and it really couldn't be eaten?

There are also some people who believe it. After all, there is no need for their men to say anything specifically to deceive them.

This very thin girl stood up. It was obvious that she had been undernourished and underdressed for a long time, which had caused her body to be in serious condition.

Her name was He Lianlian. She was already eighteen years old, but she looked only fifteen.

He Lianlian said in a hoarse voice: "I don't think others will cheat us. After all, we have nothing to be cheated of.

Everyone must believe that there are still kind people in the world.

Let's go and have a look together. If we can really sell it, then no one will go hungry so easily."

He Lianlian took the initiative to hold her mother's skinny hands and was the first to walk in front.

The others were also skeptical and continued walking forward.

Seeing that others were unmoved, the old widow couldn't help but become curious and followed behind.

A group of people soon arrived at Yu Qingqing's doorstep with a lot of noise.

"Oh my! I told you it was a lie. You live in such a shabby place. How could you have the spare money to accept something of unknown origin like this?"

When the old widow saw the dilapidated courtyard in front of her, she knew she was not wrong.
