Chapter 874: Spring (VIII)
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the cowshed, she saw no light coming out of the house. She wondered if the masters had gone to bed so early today. Since the masters were asleep, she would not disturb them. She would come again tomorrow night.
Just as Lu Xiaoxiao was about to leave, she heard the sound of a door opening behind her. She turned around and saw Foreman Xie standing at the door, so she immediately walked towards him.
"Second Master, I thought you were all asleep. I was about to go home."
"How can we fall asleep so early? Besides, we are old and sleep less, so it is even more impossible for us to fall asleep so early."
"Second Master, you'd better go to bed early. It's not good for people to be energetic if they don't get enough sleep."
"I see."
After Lu Xiaoxiao entered the house and unloaded the basket from her back, she asked Foreman Xie, "Second Master, why don't you light the kerosene lamp? It's so dark here that it's easy for people to bump into things when they walk."
"The kerosene lamp ran out of oil, so we didn't light it. We are used to living in this house, so we won't bump into anything. But you should be careful when you walk."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Foreman Xie said, she took out a bottle of kerosene from the space and put it in the basket while standing in the dark. Then she said to Foreman Xie, "Second Master, I am here to bring you kerosene and food today. I will turn on the flashlight now, and you add kerosene to the kerosene lamp."
"good."
Five minutes later, the kerosene lamp was lit, and Lu Xiaoxiao said to the three people sitting on the kang, "Hello, Master Chef, Third Master, and Fourth Master."
"Xiao girl, you've been busy for so long, come here and have a drink of water and take a break." Old Mr. Fan said after pouring a glass of water for Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you, Master."
"Have you started school yet?"
"Yes, I signed up today."
"You still decided not to go to school?"
"Well, I already know all the knowledge from elementary school, so going to school is a waste of time. This year, my new teacher asked me if I wanted to skip a grade, but I didn't agree."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Mr. Fan nodded and said, "You did the right thing. You are still young now, and it is not a good thing to upgrade too quickly."
"I knew that, so I didn't agree."
"Um."
"Second Master, please put the braised pork and carrot and pig's trotter soup in the basket outside to freeze them. I'm afraid they will go bad if you leave them inside." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Foreman Xie.
"Why did you get meat for us again? Didn't you say that we don't need to be sent meat anymore?" Mr. Fan said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"Master chef, we will soon be working in the fields in the spring. Spring ploughing is no easier than autumn harvesting, so I want the masters to eat better so that their bodies can hold up during the spring ploughing."
"Ah..." Mr. Fan knew that Lu Xiaoxiao was right, so he had no way of saying anything in rebuttal and could only sigh deeply.
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Mr. Fan sigh, she knew what he was thinking, so she said to him, "Master chef, you don't have to worry about the meat. Zhang Xu was transferred to the county for work, so he goes hunting in the mountains every week and comes to my house to ask me to cook for him. As for the reward, all the meat he eats is mine, so I don't lack meat. You can eat as much as you want."
"Why is Zhang Xu so stupid? He gave you all the meat just because you helped him cook a meal?" Foreman Xie asked curiously.
"Hehe... Second Master, what do you think of my cooking skills?"
"Good, better than any chef in a restaurant."
"Well, so it's normal for Zhang Xu to give me all the meat."
"It seems like something is going on."
"Yeah, that's it."
Mr. Fan and the others couldn't bear to watch when they saw Foreman Xie being fooled by Lu Xiaoxiao again, but they would never tell Foreman Xie that he was fooled because they just liked to watch the fun.
