Peasant Woman s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 990: Taking Action Personally

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It was actually Mrs. Chu who sold it first?” Eunuch Ren was a little surprised and subconsciously looked at Chu Heng.

“My wife didn’t mention this. I’ll go back and ask later.” Chu Heng shook his head.

“Alright, let’s go. Let’s order a bowl first.” Eunuch Ren had recently been subdued by Ye Muyu’s culinary skills. He ate more than usual when he ate the food she cooked. Although he had been working non-stop for so long, he did not lose weight.

“Boss, give me three bowls.” Eunuch Ren’s voice was shrill. He took out a copper coin and soon, three bowls of sour plum soup were served.

The three of them each took a bowl.

Chu Heng had tasted it, and his first impression was that it was indeed different from Ye Muyu’s cooking. Her cooking always had her own style, and it was so delicious that he could not stop himself.

Eunuch Ren took two sips and smacked his lips. “Not bad. It’s sour and sweet. It’s very appetizing. Now I can’t wait to eat more.”

“I think it’s very good for relieving the heat.” County Magistrate Qi had been with the two of them for a long time, so he was not that reserved. He basically spoke the truth.

“Let’s go back and ask when the sour plum juice was introduced.” After Eunuch Ren finished drinking, he did not say anything and returned home.

After returning to the county office, he went straight to the backyard.

“Madam, Master Chu is back,” Chunqin shouted to the kitchen when she saw him.

“What is Madam doing?” Chu Heng walked straight in and asked subconsciously when he heard this.

“Lord Chu, Madam is making sour plum juice.”

When he heard the words sour plum juice, he frowned slightly and walked into the small kitchen. He felt a burst of steam coming out. It was already a very hot summer. It was not that hot in the morning, but the kitchen was an exception.

He raised his head and saw Ye Muyu busy herself inside. Perhaps it was because it was hot, but she had a handkerchief in front of her, which she used to wipe the sweat off her forehead from time to time.

Her pretty little face was flushed red from the heat, but her expression was calm and she was not impatient at all.

Chu Heng realized that he had discovered another part of her personality.

He only hesitated for a moment before walking straight in. When he reached her side, he saw her stirring the sour plum juice in the pot. Steam came out and her delicate hands were already red.

“I’ll do it.” Chu Heng frowned slightly as if he did not like to see her suffer. He reached out to help her.

Ye Muyu had already known that he had come in, but now was the critical moment of making the sour plum juice. She was afraid that it would burn, so she did not have the time to talk.

“Alright then.” Ye Muyu did not refuse. After giving him the spoon, she did not forget to remind him about the strength to use. “You just need to stir it at a constant speed.”

She retracted her hand and casually took out some cream from her waist. She applied it to her hand and instantly felt much more comfortable.

“Why do you have to do it yourself?” Chu Heng suddenly asked.

“Because I’m the only one who knows how to make it taste good,” Ye Muyu said. “Besides, Chunqin is washing the big wooden buckets outside. It’s tiring work.”

Because the wooden bucket was big, it was tiring to wash it clean.

“You can call the guards over.” Chu Heng’s gaze once again swept across the back of her hand. “If it’s too hot, the back of your hand will get blisters.”

The temperature of the steam was very high. It was fine if one was scalded for a while, but after a long time, it would hurt even if they did not like blisters.

Ye Muyu touched the back of her hand and smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m used to stirring. I know how to be careful. Besides, I have the ointment with me.”

“By the way, if the flood in Li County has been dealt with, are we leaving soon?”
