Chapter 50: Ways to Lure a Husky
The next day, in order to appease her cat, Su Yun decided that she couldn't let Rose eat and drink for free anymore, and also cause trouble.
So early in the morning she arrived at the small courtyard where Rose had settled.
With a push, the door creaked open.
Very good, the door was indeed left open. Su Yun was very glad that she had arranged for Rose to stay in the neighboring courtyard last night for safety reasons, otherwise their house would probably be the one with its door wide open right now.
"This guy is always causing me trouble," Su Yun muttered as he stepped across the threshold.
Thanks to the unlocked door, Su Yun was able to enter the inner room without any trouble. Rose was wrapped in a thin blanket and fast asleep on the simple wooden bed.
He didn't react at all to Su Yun's arrival. "Sleeping so soundly, aren't you afraid of being dragged away and sold in the middle of the night?" Su Yun muttered.
She's been standing here for a while now, but the other person shows no sign of waking up.
no way.
Su Yun could only try to wake her up: "Hey, Rose, wake up, wake up!"
Rose's ears perked up slightly and twitched gently, as if she had received Su Yun's wake-up signal, but after a few slight twitches, she slowly returned to calm.
Rose didn't even lift her ear, completely ignoring Su Yun.
Helpless, Su Yun reached out and poked the furry ears that had reacted first, "Wake up, get up and get to work!"
The person remained motionless and unresponsive.
"Get up and catch rabbits! Didn't you say you were really good at catching rabbits?"
Still no response.
"If you don't work, you won't get any food!"
They remained unmoved.
Su Yun sighed and could only resort to her trump card: "Look! Where did this handsome guy come from? Look, Rose, your owner is here!"
Rose's ears twitched a few times this time, but she still didn't get up, probably because she didn't hear anyone coming.
Su Yun was speechless. This guy really is something else! He'd even abandon his owner just to sleep. No wonder he's a husky!
Looking at Rose, who was fast asleep and making soft snores.
Think about that cat at home that's always getting angry and can't be calmed down.
Su Yun sighed. "Ugh!" she thought. She refused to believe she couldn't wake Rose. Facing the sleeping Rose, Su Yun angrily reached out and grabbed her ear. "Get up! Stop sleeping! The sun's already high in the sky!"
Unexpectedly, Rose remained unmoved, instead pulling the blanket over her head, turning over, and continuing to sleep. This series of actions was fluid and seamless, completely ignoring Su Yun's harassment.
Su Yun stood there stunned for three minutes.
Then, listening to the soft snoring coming from under the covers again, and looking at Rose who was fast asleep and refused to get up, Su Yun was speechless. This girl is just unbelievable!
However, Su Yun was still very confident in dealing with the husky. She thought for a moment, then went back into the house to get something.
"You can never wake a husky that's pretending to be asleep unless—you wake her up for dinner."
This time, Su Yun brought breakfast directly to the bedside. Today's breakfast was scallion and egg pancakes, with fresh green scallions paired with golden free-range eggs.
The aroma hit Su Yun right in the head. She sat on the edge of the bed, smacking her lips as she ate with relish.
This time, she didn't even need to call out. The husky, with its keen sense of smell, first peeked out a little bit of its nose, then slowly revealed its ears. After confirming that there really was something delicious, it quickly lifted the blanket, revealing a pair of sleepy eyes.
Wow, there's something delicious!
Rose opened her eyes and saw Su Yun eating heartily with a bowl in her hand.
Rose: "What delicious food are you eating?"
Su Yun mumbled through her egg pancake, "Egg pancake!"
Rose stared wide-eyed at Su Yun eating with gusto, then sat up abruptly. "Wow, egg pancakes! I want some too!" she exclaimed, pouncing on him like a hungry tiger.
Su Yun was prepared. She simply picked up her bowl and dodged to the side, then leisurely finished the last bite of her egg pancake and said, "If you want some, go get it yourself!"
"Okay!" Rose readily agreed, immediately tumbling off the bed and heading straight for the kitchen.
Unfortunately, when I rushed to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot, I found that it was completely empty.
Before leaving, Su Yun specifically told Ye Feng to finish the egg pancakes in the pan quickly and not to leave any for Rose.
As expected, the night breeze cooperated and devoured all the egg pancakes.
Looking at the empty pots and pans, Rose rubbed her rumbling stomach and said indignantly, "You actually lied to me!"
Su Yun spread her hands, indicating her innocence: "I didn't tell you to take it from the pot. I told you to go find food outside! You want to eat without working? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Go catch your rabbit, or you won't even get lunch."
"Huh?" Rose opened her big eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. "How could you bear to let my adorable dog... oh no, I mean beautiful lady, do your work? You're so heartless!"
"Stop trying to be cute, it won't work. If you want to eat, you have to get back to work." Su Yun remained unmoved, his face cold and stern.
Seeing that her cuteness was useless, Rose gave up her futile resistance, obediently lowered her tail, and prepared to go out hunting.
Su Yun urged from behind, "Go early and come back early! Strive to be a useful person to the country, and try to make it in time for dinner!"
Rose didn't reply; she just wagged her tail dejectedly, indicating that she understood.
Seeing Ye Feng's slightly calmer expression, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to arrange things with Rose.
"Let's get to work first, it's time to clear the corn weeds!" Su Yun picked up a hoe and called to Ye Feng to get ready to go out and work.
Night Breeze nodded, and in unison picked up another hoe placed next to it. The two of them put on straw hats, filled their water cups, and went out together.
The two walked side by side on the ridge of the field, carrying the same hoe on their shoulders. The sky was blue with white clouds, the ground was green with green mountains and clear water, and the familiar figure was beside them.
For some reason, Su Yun felt as if the two of them had known each other for a very long time and had a tacit understanding.
She smiled mischievously and playfully tugged at the other's tail, which swayed with its steps.
It didn't get angry when its tail was gently tugged; instead, it curled up and wrapped around her wrist.
Su Yun chuckled softly and released her hand.
The owner of the tail adjusted his hat and turned slightly, revealing a questioning expression. "What's wrong?"
Su Yun, as usual, concealed his mischievous intentions: "It's nothing, there's just some grass clippings on it."
Night Breeze: "Oh!"
The rainy season is over, and the weeds that were going to sprout have already sprouted. It's about time to weed the cornfield, otherwise the weeds will steal nutrients from the corn.
The corn in the field has grown to knee height and is growing very well. We need to remove the weeds so that it can grow taller.
The two of them worked in the field all morning.
Ye Feng didn't have time to hunt either, so he killed two chickens for lunch. This time, Su Yun didn't choose to stew the chicken, but instead chopped it into pieces and stir-fried it with ginger and scallions.
The recent rains made the scallions in the vegetable patch grow exceptionally well. They grew into a large patch, lush and tender green, so Su Yun has been adding scallions to almost every dish she cooks these past few days. The aroma of the scallions adds rich layers of flavor to the dishes, which Ye Feng also really enjoys.
Heat oil in a wok, add ginger, scallions, and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, then add tender chicken and stir-fry over high heat. The aroma of the chicken wafts for miles along the window.
The rose, which had wandered off somewhere, was indeed attracted by the fragrance and returned right on time for dinner.
Wagging its tail, it perched on the windowsill, peering longingly inside.
Su Yun and Ye Feng were enjoying their meal. The stir-fried chicken with ginger and scallions was especially fragrant and flavorful. After a busy morning, they were both very hungry.
Each person had a bowl of soup with mustard greens as the base, which was especially delicious when eaten with a big bowl of chicken.
They grabbed large chunks of chicken without hesitation.
Su Yun locked the door, so Rose couldn't come in and could only peer longingly from the windowsill.
"Ah, I really want to eat chicken too!" Rose craned her neck, peering out the window at the tempting aroma of the chicken on the table. Her eyes widened, instantly shedding her aloof goddess persona and pleading, "Let me have a piece too~"
"Don't even think about it. You can't reap what you sow." Su Yun raised her chopsticks and refused without hesitation.
"Don't be so heartless! I've tried, the rabbits over here run so fast, I can't catch them at all, sob sob." Rose pitifully clung to the windowsill, recounting her miserable experience, "It's not that I don't want to catch them, it's just that I really can't!"
"Really?" Su Yun was very skeptical.
Rose hurriedly raised her hand as if to swear, "Really, really, the rabbits here run incredibly fast. I didn't eat anything this morning, so I had no energy to chase them. Waaah~ I didn't mean to."
Are the rabbits here running very fast?
this--
Su Yun didn't pay attention, because at her speed, even the slowest person couldn't catch up, so she couldn't judge whether Rose was telling the truth or not.
But, if that's the case—
Su Yun held the bowl, thought for a moment, and finally picked up a small bowl of greens, drizzled some meat gravy on it, added two small pieces of chicken, and stretched it out from between the railings, saying, "Here you go! Your lunch."
Rose looked at the green hue in her bowl and the two pitiful pieces of meat, and was about to express her dissatisfaction with the lunch distribution.
Su Yun coldly conveyed with her eyes that if she said another word, she wouldn't even give him any vegetables.
Rose understood Su Yun's gaze, so she could only take the bowl, shut her mouth, and obediently sit on the steps to eat her lunch.
Although it was just a bowl of vegetables, she ate it with great relish, finding it exceptionally delicious.
"Ah! This chicken is so delicious! I wish there were two more pieces!"
"Ah! This green vegetable is so delicious! I love it!"
"Ah! I wish there was more meat!"
...
Night Breeze expressed his dissatisfaction: "She clearly didn't bring anything back, so why is she allowed to eat lunch?"
Su Yun blinked and lowered her voice, saying, "Well, it's actually a strategy. If we keep starving her, she might not be able to hunt because she's too weak. So we need to keep her at the lowest possible level to ensure that she doesn't become too weak from hunger and be unable to hunt. This is how we can maintain our labor force and avoid simply oppressing and exploiting her."
Night Breeze: "But you still served her meat."
Rose smiled slyly, "Just a little bit. That's bait. A little bit of meat can replenish our strength and let the other side know, oh! How wonderful the harvest is."
Night Breeze: "Oh! Although I don't quite understand what she's saying, I still don't like her."
As she finished eating, she cleared away the dishes and left, her face showing a refusal to communicate.
Seeing that Ye Feng always looked like he was rejecting her, although Rose was indeed a bit clumsy, she didn't harm or threaten them, and most of the time she was happy to cooperate with Su Yun's arrangements, even if she didn't do them well.
Moreover, most of the time, Ye Feng's advances are just verbal and physical, with physical contact being rare. Overall, it shouldn't be enough to make Ye Feng dislike him that much.
Why does the night wind always seem to be in a rage, always trying to avoid the other person, and then so eager to drive her away?
Su Yun began to notice this slightly unusual thing and started to seriously examine the problem.
