Chapter 330 I heard that I am the best (17)
When Liu Yan saw Mu Yunchao gnawing on the pig's trotter, she was horrified and almost fainted. She said to Mu Yunchao in disbelief: "Husband, this is a pig's trotter? Oh my God! How can you eat such indecent food? It was that woman Zhou Shichu who seduced you, right? As expected of that woman, she is so shameless that she specializes in making these cheap and vulgar things to eat..."
Liu Yan had always been the kind of person who "would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo" and pursued elegance and purity. She couldn't stand vulgar and barbaric things. Now her husband was actually gnawing on a pig's trotter, and he was gnawing with relish. How could she bear this? ! She was already strong enough not to faint.
Seeing her fussing over nothing, Mu Yunchao smiled and comforted her, "Madam, what's the point of distinguishing between vulgar and cheap food? Isn't it enough if it tastes good? When I led soldiers to the battlefield before, I was so hungry that I even ate grass roots and mice. If I could eat pig's trotters, it would be a luxury."
"But, but you don't have to eat those things now!" Liu Yan still couldn't understand Mu Yunchao's psychology. She had been a lady from a wealthy family since she was a child, with fine clothes and delicious food. She never tired of eating fine food. Things like pig's trotters would never appear in front of her. It was really difficult for her to accept eating such things.
Mu Yunchao put down the pig's trotter in his hand, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his greasy mouth, then said to Liu Yan with a serious face:
"Ma'am, I know you've never eaten anything like this, but why not try it? It tastes really good. Although I don't have to chew tree roots and grass now, I've never forgotten the feeling of hunger.
Besides, now is a time of great chaos in the world, and many people are unable to get enough food, let alone pig's trotters. They may not even be able to eat mixed flour steamed buns to fill their stomachs. So compared to them, I am very lucky to be able to eat pig's trotters.
Of course, you have never suffered hardship, so I can't ask you to accept such common people's food all of a sudden. Forget it, if you don't want to eat, I will eat it myself."
Mu Yunchao said at the end with a disappointed look on his face. He was really satisfied with his considerate, gentle and caring wife, so he wanted to share his favorite food with her. However, he forgot that what he liked might not be liked by his wife. So Mu Yunchao was a little disappointed that his sincere heart did not get the expected effect.
When Liu Yan heard his words, she immediately became alert and realized that she might have upset her husband, so she hurriedly picked up a piece of pig's trotter with chopsticks and said with a forced smile: "Husband, since you said so, I will give it a try."
Mu Yunchao saw her reluctance, shook his head and said, "Don't force yourself. I brought these stewed foods back because I wanted to share the deliciousness with you, but if it makes you unhappy, then there is no point."
Liu Yan became more anxious after hearing his words. She realized that her performance this time was not good and wanted to make up for it. However, the more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made. She had never picked up a pig's trotter before, and in her anxiety, she couldn't hold the trotter steadily with her chopsticks. The yellow, shiny and appetizing pig's trotter fell onto the table and rolled from the table to the ground.
Liu Yan felt ashamed and embarrassed, her eyes suddenly filled with tears and she was about to cry.
This time, Mu Yunchao did not immediately notice his wife's emotions. When he saw the pig's trotter rolling to the ground, he immediately blurted out with great regret: "Oh! The pig's trotter fell!"
Before he decided to fight for the world, he was a rough man who led troops into battle. He loved to eat meat and drink wine with big mouthfuls. The braised pig's trotters had a strong and fragrant flavor, which just suited his taste. He didn't buy much braised food this time, so it would be strange if he didn't feel sad if a piece fell off.
And Liu Yan, seeing that her husband was most concerned about the pig's trotter instead of her, suddenly felt sad, ashamed and a little at a loss. She seemed to be able to see the rift in the relationship between her and her husband because of this braised food!
It's all Zhou Shichu's fault! Liu Yan was immediately annoyed with Zhou Shichu, thinking that if Zhou Shichu hadn't come up with these cheap and disgusting foods, how could her image in her husband's heart be tarnished?
The relationships between people are actually quite magical. Some people will have a good impression of each other when they meet for the first time, and feel like they have known each other for a long time and have similar interests. But on the contrary, other people can feel that they don’t like each other as soon as they meet, and they feel disgusted when they see each other, as if they were old enemies.
Coincidentally, Liu Yan and Zhou Shichu are the ones who dislike each other, especially Liu Yan, who simply hates Zhou Shichu to the extreme. Originally, she hated Zhou Shichu just because she was an unqualified wife who held Li Wei back and made her dislike her in every way; but now, the braised food made by Zhou Shichu has affected the relationship between her and her husband, and Liu Yan resents Zhou Shichu even more.
Zhou Shichu had no idea that she had made Liu Yan hate her just because she sold some braised food. If she knew, she would only think that it was an unfortunate thing to do. Liu Yan and Mu Yunchao grew up in different environments, so their living habits were naturally different, so there would definitely be conflicts. But it was unreasonable for Liu Yan to blame Zhou Shichu for this conflict.
Even if the conflict in their living habits did not manifest itself in eating this time, it might manifest itself in other aspects next time. Liu Yan did not want to understand this and just kept blaming Zhou Shichu, which was a bit like "finding a pretext to accuse someone of a crime".
After Zhou Shichu opened the food shop, she was busy making money. People around her thought that she had turned over a new leaf. After all, she hadn't done anything as outrageous as before for a long time, and her business was doing well. It was like she had become a different person, which made people marvel at her.
Zhou Shichu didn't care what others thought. In this era of war and chaos, the war might come to them one day, so people didn't care much about other people's affairs. They just thought about how to survive in the chaotic world and not die.
So although everyone was curious about Zhou Shichu's changes, no one stared at her or insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
This made it convenient for Zhou Shichu to take some necessary and inconspicuous plants from his own space and plant them, such as coriander, pumpkin and so on.
In fact, what Zhou Shichu wanted to plant more were potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are foods with high yields and strong satiety. However, at that time, these two crops had not yet been introduced from overseas, so she could not plant them casually.
Moreover, with her current status, even if she took it out, it would be easy for others to take it for themselves. She didn't want to help others and have the credit for her work taken away for nothing.
So this matter requires long-term planning. First of all, she needs a safe and secret farm with farmers who are loyal to her and have superb farming skills. In this way, she can take out potatoes and sweet potatoes and let them try planting them first.
