Chapter 703: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 703: So... Big Brother Wang?
Lu Shuyu didn't expect that she didn't even need to explain, and Wang Changdong had already made things convenient for her.
She thanked him, saying, "Alright, then I won't hold back."
"Why be polite with me? If you encounter any problems, just tell Big Brother Wang. If there's anything he can help with, I guarantee he'll take care of it properly."
Lu Shuyu almost choked on her noodles. So...Big Brother Wang?
In the midst of their conversation, Aunt Fang brought Wang Changdong's noodles as well. After placing them down, she asked Lu Shuyu, "How does it taste? I've just arrived at the manor, so I'm not familiar with the tastes of the stewards. If there's anything wrong, be sure to let me know in advance."
"Aunt Fang is too modest. It tastes delicious. Luckily, Aunt Fang is now in the kitchen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to taste such delicious noodles."
Aunt Fang felt a bit embarrassed by her praise. "I'm fortunate to have this job. If you and Xiyue hadn't gone up the mountain to hunt big beast, she wouldn't have had this opportunity either."
That was the official story, but the Fang family's parents knew that it was Lu Shuyu who had received advance information, allowing them to meet the prefect so coincidentally.
Although they didn't know how she got the information, her willingness to help Xiyue was a great favor to their family.
Aunt Fang didn't linger. She nodded to the two of them and said, "Enjoy your meal. I'll come back later to clean up the bowls and chopsticks."
Lu Shuyu quickly spoke up, "Oh, Aunt Fang, from now on, I'll have breakfast here at the manor but won't need you to prepare my meals for lunch and dinner. I'll have them at home."
Her grandmother loved cooking for her now. In the past, their family didn't have good conditions, and having coarse cornbread with pickled vegetables was considered a treat. They didn't even talk about recipes or seasonings.
But now, it was different. With Shu Yu taking care of Xiyue, her grandmother was willing to use oil and seasonings generously, and the dishes she made were fragrant and delicious, making Shu Yu's mouth water.
Especially since they arrived at Zhengdao Village, her grandmother didn't have much to do on a regular basis. She didn't need to work in the fields, sew cloth dolls, or collect firewood. Zhao Xi and Meng Yunzheng had already stacked a pile of firewood in a corner of the backyard, and the water barrel was full.
Apart from going to the river to wash clothes and cook, her grandmother had a lot of free time. When she had nothing to do, she wanted to improve their meals and was determined to fatten herself up in exile.
She knew that Shu Yu knew a lot of dishes, so she asked her to write down the recipes.
Although her grandmother couldn't read, they had Da Hu at home. Whenever it was time to cook, Da Hu would stand beside her, holding the recipe and reading out the steps.
If Shu Yu didn't come home to eat, her grandmother would probably get angry.
After receiving her request, Aunt Fang immediately agreed. "Alright, I'll go to the kitchen and let the head chef know."
Now Aunt Fang was responsible for preparing breakfast at the manor. The head chef wanted to be lazy and slept in late. But the chef himself took charge of lunch and dinner, with Aunt Fang assisting.
Once Aunt Fang left, Wang Changdong raised his head. "You're saving money for the manor with this."
Shu Yu smiled. "Not at all. I just want to spend more time with my family. They traveled a long way to come here for me, so it's important to spend more time together."
Wang Changdong nodded. "That makes sense."
However, when he heard her mention family, Wang Changdong suddenly thought of the Shu family.
"By the way, someone from the Shu family asked me about Hou Shi and her daughter, but Hou Shi didn't tell them about going to the post station."
Can't believe I spent at least 60% of my waking hours on this novel for three days. What am I doing with my life? ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Also, thanks for the translation. Chapter 700 is missing.
