Chapter 757: 757 The largest landowner in the village 2
Xiao Qinghe finished preparing dinner.
The sky had completely darkened.
Su Qingyue looked outside the courtyard and saw Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan finally returning on the horse-drawn cart.
“Wife!” From afar, Xiao Yuchuan waved to her while sitting on the empty cart, and as soon as he entered the yard, he jumped down and rushed towards her.
She dodged him, “Be serious, third brother!”
He chuckled, “I can’t be serious when I’m with my wife.”
Xiao Yishan tied the reins of the horse-drawn cart to the beam of the firewood shed in the yard and asked with doubt, “Do we have guests at home?”
Xiao Yuchuan glanced at the horse, “I saw this horse at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion while delivering goods during lunchtime. The people from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion must be here. Today, Boss Jin was busy, so he probably sent his follower Ji over.”
Ji came out of the kitchen, “Wow, I didn’t expect Master Xiao to be so clever. Do you know what my boss asked me to do here?”
“Have my wife teach the chefs at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion how to cook?” Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. At least, that’s what it seemed like on the surface. A Jin Xun also had his eyes on his wife. He really wanted to get rid of all the men who liked his wife!
However, it wasn’t the servant’s fault that Boss Jin was being annoying.
Tonight’s dinner featured a bowl of stir-fried roe deer meat, a bowl of fried fish, and a bowl of vegetables.
It was quite a good meal for the village.
Su Qingyue called out, “Little bastard!”
Big mixed fur approached from far away, and Su Qingyue washed off the salt on the marinated roe deer meat and gave it two big pieces.
Ji was surprised when he saw this, “Wife of the Xiao Family, your dog only eats meat and eats so well?”
“It used to hunt for food in the mountains by itself,” she said, “Since I asked it to guard the rented fern ‘warehouse’, it couldn’t go to the mountains, so I provided it with food. It doesn’t like vegetables.”
Wolves are carnivores and can only be raised on meat. It was lucky to have survived the initial period of only drinking rice soup when she first found it. At that time, the Xiao Family was on the verge of being unable to survive, and the little bastard naturally had no meat to eat.
Now that the family has money, it’s no problem for it to eat bought meat all the time.
Well, that’s because it’s a wolf, not a dog.
Dogs are much easier to raise.
However, the mixed fur is even less troublesome than dogs, as it usually hunts for food in the mountains on its own. She has even trained it to avoid hunter’s traps and animal snares.
The mixed fur looked at Su Qingyue gratefully before starting to eat the two big pieces of meat she gave it.
After finishing its meal, Su Qingyue wiped its mouth with a piece of black cloth, and it went back to guarding the ‘warehouse’.
Ji sighed at how well-treated the Xiao Family’s dog was, even having its owner wipe its mouth for it.
During dinner, the three sons of the Xiao Family kept serving Su Qingyue, putting the stir-fried roe deer meat in her bowl, while Ji, the guest, was ignored.
Ji didn’t mind, though, and felt that the lifestyle of the Xiao Family was quite good, with fried fish and game to eat. Su Qingyue was lucky as well since the three men of the Xiao Family doted on her so much.
“The craftsmanship is great, fourth brother Xiao’s cooking is delicious,” Ji complimented, and Qinghe didn’t seem to care.
In the evening, the men of the house, including Ji, went to the river to bathe, because with so many people at home, carrying water would take many trips.
After taking a bath, Ji, who was tired after taking the wrong way and traveling for half a day, asked where he should stay and went to sleep in the master bedroom, not bothering with making a bed on the floor.
