Chapter 319 I heard that I am the best (6)
Finally, when Zhou Shiwan was about to be tortured to death by the original owner, Mu Yunchao finally conquered two-thirds of the world, so they moved to another city. However, on the way to move, the remnants of the forces that had been destroyed by Mu Yunchao before took revenge and took advantage of the time when everyone was moving to massacre them. The original owner died in this massacre.
The original owner died, and Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Li Wei would finally not be held back by his wife. In order to win over Li Wei, she even introduced Qingyue to Li Wei as his third wife...
Yes, it was her maid Qingyue. She married a maid to her husband's capable subordinate. I don't know what Madam Liu was thinking. Maybe she felt that Qingyue's personality was much better than the original owner, and she would definitely be a good wife to Li Wei. Li Wei got a great deal by marrying her.
I don’t know whether Li Wei married her because of her status or if he really didn’t mind marrying a maid. Anyway, Liu Yan’s matchmaking was successful. She was very proud of it and felt that marrying her trusted subordinate to her husband’s trusted subordinate was a good story…
Zhou Shichu wanted to laugh when he thought of this. He wondered if Liu Yan was too - out of touch with the real world. Her trusted subordinate was a maid, but Li Wei was an official. The difference between their status was like heaven and earth. How could she have the nerve to act as a matchmaker? Maybe she felt that as long as there was true love, there was no need to care about the difference in status?
Zhou Shichu silently lit a candle for Li Wei in his heart.
"Auntie, where is the place to buy vegetables?" Zhou Shichu stopped a passing lady and asked. She was not sure whether there were vegetable markets in that era.
"Go ahead and turn the corner, and you'll find stalls selling vegetables and meat. But if you go there now, there won't be any good vegetables or meat," the old lady said kindly.
"It doesn't matter. I'll just go and take a look. If I find something good, I'll buy it. If I find something bad, I won't buy it." Zhou Shichu replied.
Not long after she walked away, she saw a vegetable stall. She went up to it and picked for a long time before finding the three basic seasonings: ginger, onion and garlic. She then went to the meat stall and bought two pounds of pork belly before going home.
Li Wei was at home at this time. When he saw her come back, he just glanced at her and continued with the work in his hands.
Zhou Shichu put Zhou Shiwan on the ground and said, "Go and play. I'll make something delicious."
Zhou Shiwan looked at her but didn't leave. He followed her into the kitchen like a little tail.
"Madam, did you buy pork? Oh, pork is not very tasty. Let's eat mutton. The master likes mutton." Aunt Qian frowned and said when she saw the pork Zhou Shichu brought in.
Most people at that time liked to eat mutton, and thought that pork was something that the lower class people ate and was not presentable. Therefore, they would only eat pork unless they could not afford mutton but wanted to have some meat.
The Li family can afford mutton, so Aunt Qian disagrees with Zhou Shichu buying pork.
"I like eating pork. You can cook mutton for the master, and I will cook the pork myself." Zhou Shichu glanced at Aunt Qian indifferently. Seeing that there was no expression on her face, Aunt Qian immediately remembered that she had a bad temper and could not tolerate others telling her what to do. She immediately swallowed her words of persuasion and dared not say anything more.
Zhou Shichu found a big radish and saw a piece of tofu, so she decided to make tofu meatballs and radish meatballs. She rolled up her sleeves, picked up a kitchen knife, chopped the pork into minced meat, cut the radish into thin strips, and mashed the tofu. She put them into two large bowls, added some minced meat, flour and seasoning to each, mixed them into a paste, and pinched them into meatballs as big as a baby's fist, which she fried in a pan.
After a while, an enticing fragrance came out and went straight into people's noses, making people drool. Zhou Shiwan was so greedy that he kept swallowing his saliva.
Zhou Shichu was very skillful. It didn't take him long to fry two large bowls full of tofu meatballs and radish meatballs. The fragrant, golden meatballs looked very appetizing.
Zhou Shichu picked up a tofu meatball, blew on it, and passed it to Zhou Shiwan's mouth. Zhou Shiwan's eyes widened in surprise and he couldn't wait to grab the meatball.
"Be careful, it's a little hot." Zhou Shichu took a small bowl, picked up two radish meatballs and two tofu meatballs, and asked Zhou Shiwan to eat them.
She also picked up a tofu meatball, put it in her mouth, and took a bite. It was fresh, sweet and delicious. She couldn't help but squint her eyes and enjoy it. The tofu of this era was all handmade and especially fresh and sweet. The pork was also raised naturally. As long as the fishy smell was removed, it would not be unpalatable no matter how it was cooked.
"Aunt Qian! What delicious food did you make? It smells so good!" Li Ji's voice came from outside. His voice arrived before the person arrived, and soon the sound of quick footsteps was heard.
Li Ji ran in from outside like a calf, came up to Aunt Qian and started looking for food.
"Young master, the meatballs that smell so good are those made by Madam." Aunt Qian said quickly. She didn't expect that Madam could actually make such delicious meatballs.
Li Ji then noticed Zhou Shichu and Zhou Shiwan standing beside the table. The two sisters were eating a meatball each. Li Ji immediately ran over and shouted, "I want some too!"
As he said this, he used his hands to directly take the meatballs into the big bowl. Zhou Shichu saw this and frowned tightly. He immediately patted Li Ji's hand and said, "You didn't even wash your hands and actually took them with your hands? Are you looking for death?"
Li Ji immediately said with a frown: "I'll just take it with my hands! I'll just take it with my hands! What's it to you?" He then stretched out his hand.
Zhou Shichu was immediately furious. It wasn't that she didn't allow Li Ji to eat, she just didn't allow him to use his hands. It was so dirty, how could others eat it after he took it? It was so disgusting.
Seeing that he was still trying to deliberately provoke him, Zhou Shichu immediately threw the chopsticks in his hand to the side of the table, quickly grabbed Li Ji with one hand, and slapped Li Ji's butt with the other hand, hitting him several times in a row.
Li Ji didn't expect that she would actually hit him. He immediately exploded and struggled, "Stinky woman! How dare you hit me! The stepmother is really a bad person. I'm going to complain to my father! Dad! Your own son is about to be beaten to death by the stepmother! The stepmother eats the delicious food herself and doesn't let your son eat it. She also beats your son to death..."
Li Ji howled loudly, but he still struggled unwillingly, wanting to fight with Zhou Shichu.
Zhou Shichu held Li Ji's hands tightly with one hand, making him struggle in vain like a fish with its belly turned upside down. Then, with an expressionless face, he picked up a dry branch and hit him hard on the butt. Li Ji was beaten so hard that he screamed like a ghost.
Aunt Qian quickly advised: "Madam, please stop beating him. What if you hurt the young master?"
"He won't be hurt. He has thick skin and can take a beating." Zhou Shichu is not a good person. Since the naughty kid deserves a beating, she will not be polite.
She is already a top-notch person, of course she would beat the child if she wanted to, why would she care so much?
"What are you doing?" Li Wei suddenly appeared at the kitchen door, staring at Zhou Shichu and Li Ji with his thick eyebrows furrowed.
