Chapter 239: The Old Widow "Adds Fuel to the Fire"
Hua Yuanyuan in the kitchen was so frightened that she started howling like a ghost.
A "food thief" was jumping up and down at her feet.
Yu Qingqing held a wooden stick in her hand and didn't know where to start.
When the people outside heard the screams inside, they ran in immediately.
The first to be hit was Yuan Xichen, but he had just come in and hadn't even stood firmly when he was tripped by a figure.
"Ah! Be careful!" Hua Qinglu exclaimed and quickly went to pull Yu Qingqing who was about to fall to the ground.
Yuan Xichen reacted quickly and pushed Yu Qingqing forward so that she did not fall to the ground.
Yu Qingqing's face was also full of shock. She went to kill the rat and didn't expect that a person would suddenly jump out.
Looking closely, isn't this Yuan Xichen? As soon as Yu Qingqing saw him, she remembered the not-so-good scene back then, and she subconsciously distanced herself from him.
Yuan Xichen felt hurt when he saw Yu Qingqing's reaction.
He dusted off the dust and then asked with concern: "Miss Qingqing, long time no see! Are you okay just now? I hope you are not hurt."
Yuan Xichen looked at the petite and adorable person in front of him with lively eyes, and his heart also felt soft.
Yu Qingqing leaned sideways, her face flushed.
She replied somewhat unnaturally and stuttered: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
After saying that, he walked outside without even looking up.
After this farce, the mouse had disappeared without a trace.
When people outside found out it was just a misunderstanding, they didn't say anything more.
Yu Qingshu and his companions saw that the dishes were ready, and went to borrow more than ten tables and chairs from their neighbors, so that everyone could sit down.
The workers still ate at the original place, so it didn't have much impact.
There were only a few dishes on the table, although they were not many in number, they were large in quantity.
With so many dishes, they had to be cooked with the help of others. It would definitely not be possible for Yu Qingqing and her friends to cook alone.
This time, Yu Qingqing cooked deep-fried crab wrapped in eggs and a big pot of chicken mushroom and bone soup.
There was wild boar meat fried with dogwood, a large plate of spicy fried prawns, and another large plate of stir-fried vegetables.
It is delicious and makes people drool just by looking at it.
On Yu Qingshu's table, there were more than ten kinds of food brought by Yuan Xichen, including osmanthus cake, crystal pork elbow, beggar's chicken, and cabbage with vinegar.
Taking into account that men and women sit at different tables, Yuan Xichen divides the food into two portions so that everyone can eat.
Seeing the delicious food in front of them, the guards brought by Yuan Xichen felt as if they were about to be dizzy by the fragrance.
The lunch was also a great enjoyment for both the host and the guests.
Soon there was only a mess left on the table, and those who had eaten could not stop savoring the taste.
Yuan Xichen also felt that these dishes had a unique flavor.
I never thought that the Yu family’s cooking skills were so good.
After the meal, Yu Qingshu chatted with Yuan Xichen. Yuan Xichen did not put on airs and looked very approachable.
Only the guards and Yuan Yi standing by knew that their master was experiencing a situation that was rarely seen in a hundred years.
This time, they were able to eat such delicious food thanks to their master.
Yuan Xichen also didn't expect that these things were actually thought up by Yu Qingqing.
He praised her without hiding anything: "Miss Qingqing is really clever and skillful. Her cooking skills are so amazing. Whoever marries her in the future will be so lucky!"
Yuan Xichen really praised her in his heart, and at the same time he was also fantasizing about the obsession in his heart.
He really didn't expect that there would be "Chicken Mushroom", a mushroom that can be eaten.
The soup is so delicious that it is addictive.
There are so many things in the mountains, they have missed a lot of food.
After all, he is a prince and has his own soldiers.
He himself couldn't even count the amount of money he spent on maintaining the army every year.
He also handed over his shop to his subordinates to manage, and with so many soldiers to support, he felt that he was barely making ends meet.
Yu Qingshu smiled happily. He was naturally very happy when others praised his daughter.
He also always felt that Yuan Xichen seemed to be paying some attention to his third daughter, but he didn't know if it was his illusion.
He shook off the thought in his head, thinking it was impossible.
It's obvious that Master Yuan is of good status, he just likes making friends more.
Although Yuan Xichen was chatting with Yu Qingshu, his eyes were looking towards Yu Qingqing intentionally or unintentionally.
It was obvious that Miss Yu had misunderstood him in the kitchen just now. When he had the chance, he would definitely ask her in person to clarify.
After lunch at noon, the workers found a shady place to rest.
Today's weather is not as hot and humid as before, and the sun is still high in the sky as usual.
There are trees on both sides of the road here, so it is not difficult to find a shady spot.
About a quarter of an hour later, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the scene.
"Don't be fooled, this thing is poisonous, you really want to die!
I think you guys are really crazy about money, you believe them just when they come."
An old woman with a wrinkled face, leaning on a dirty cane, followed a group of women.
The old woman is a widow and she usually lives with her son and daughter-in-law.
A group of women were walking towards Yu Qingqing's house, holding mushrooms in their arms.
When they heard what the old widow said, they felt a little shaken. What if someone else made a mistake with this thing and it really couldn't be eaten?
There are also some people who believe it. After all, there is no need for their men to say anything specifically to deceive them.
This very thin girl stood up. It was obvious that she had been undernourished and under clothed for a long time, which had caused her body to be seriously weakened.
Her name was He Lianlian. She was actually eighteen years old, but she looked only fifteen.
He Lianlian said in a hoarse voice: "I don't think others will cheat us, after all, we have nothing to be cheated.
We must believe that there are still kind people in the world.
Let’s go and have a look together. If we can really sell them, we won’t go hungry so easily.”
He Lianlian took the initiative to hold her mother's skinny hands and was the first to walk in front.
The others were also skeptical and continued walking forward.
The old widow saw that others were unmoved, and couldn't help but follow behind out of curiosity.
A group of people soon arrived at Yu Qingqing's doorstep with a lot of noise.
"Oh my! I told you it was a lie. You live in such a shabby place. How could you have the spare money to accept something of unknown origin?"
When the old widow saw the dilapidated courtyard in front of her, she knew she was not wrong.
