Chapter 181: Treating Food


Linglong and Zhenzhu looked at each other. It seems Miss Yu is highly respected in the hearts of madam ah! At the very least, he had surpassed the niece of the mistress, the young miss who had been living with the Fang Family for several years. They reminded each other with their eyes: In the future, they simply cannot ignore or insult the adopted young miss!


However, Yu Xiaocao said timidly, “Godmother, I am not a child anymore. I have to walk alone and not make you tired. ”


“How heavy are you? I can even carry a hundred catty sandbags easily at home. Even carrying something that weighs three times your weight won't make me tired! ” Lady Fang laid Xiaocao on the bed and helped her take off her jacket like she was caring for a baby.


“I will do it myself ..” Yu Xiaocao blushed in embarrassment and took off his outerwear. But his movements were too great, and he accidentally pulled the wound on his back, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.


“You ah, stop trying to be brave!” Lady Fang pressed her onto the bed and lifted the clothes in as white as her snow. She saw a clear and terrifying deep purple bruise on her almost transparent and beautiful back.


Not only was Lady Fang extremely heartbroken, but Linglong and Zhenzhu also gasped in shock. Ah must be very painful! Had it been any other little girl, she would have long since cried out in pain. But the young lady had endured the pain and comforted the mistress so that she did not get angry…


Lady Fang carried a small medicine box. He took out a fine porcelain bottle from his small medicine box, which was a ‘ bruise’ tranquilizer bottle given by the emperor. He carefully poured a bit of powder into his palm and gently covered the bruises on his slender back with his hands. In order for the soothing powder of the bruise to be effective, it is necessary to use a little force to remove the acupuncture points and dissolve the bruise. Lady Fang was afraid that the little girl could not endure the pain, so she first massaged gently before gradually increasing her strength.


At first, Yu Xiaocao hissed as he inhaled a breath of cold air. Then he wailed sadly, “Sick, sick, sick, be softer. Godmother, please be softer! ”


“Hold a minute. If I don't use a bit of strength, it won't be effective.. ”Madam Fang gently comforted her, but she didn't reduce the strength in her hands. Yu Xiaocao continued shouting and banging his limbs violently, hitting the bed hard.


Linglong and Zhenzhu lowered their heads and tried to hold back their laughter. At present, the young kangen looked like a fish coming out of the water. Her humble appearance looks very cute.


Xia Furong gritted his teeth and stared enviously at the whining boy. Her aunt from the father's side was very biased. When she first came to the General Estate, she was only seven to eight years old and her aunt's most intimate act was to hold her hand and touch her head. But how did this dirty country girl let her aunt hug her and personally give her medicine ?! The bruised tranquilizing powder was gifted by the emperor, and would be hard to come by on the market even with a thousand gold pieces. How did that poor fellow deserve such a precious thing?


However, Yu Xiaocao did not want this honor at all. He's just a little bruised. When he got home, he could only let the little holy stone breathe in the heavenly air on his back and everything would be fine. Why would he have to suffer like this for no reason ah!


Lady Fang giggled, patted the restless little girl's butt, and insisted, “Be careful! Be careful not to hurt your arms and legs. If they bruise, you have to suffer again. ”


After hearing that, Yu Xiaocao immediately stopped, as if he was a robot puppet running out of steam. But the screams of his pain became louder. A crying child will get milk, so he will not do the action of ‘gritting his teeth and holding in silence’!


“What's going on?” The aunt of the Eldest Mother, Madam Han, and Xiaocao's maternal grandmother, Lady Yao, had come to deliver the goods. As soon as they entered the store, they heard Xiaocao's loud screams, so they hurriedly entered to ask him. Looking at the bruises on the little girl's back, the two of them couldn't help but feel the heartache.


Yu Xiaocao immediately stopped shouting. She turned to look at the faint smiles from the maternal grandmother and maternal aunt of the eldest, and softly said, “Grandmother, Aunt of the Eldest Mother, it's okay! I just accidentally hit the door. I'll be fine after applying the medicine — By the way, this is my godmother, who came from the capital! ”


Lady Yao and her daughter-in-law knew that Xiacocao had obtained an official as his godfather. Hearing that she was Xiaocao's godmother, didn't that mean the wife of an official had come? The two honest housewives were confused as they just stood there and smiled awkwardly.


Lady Fang smiled kindly at them and said gently, “We are brothers now, so you guys don't need to be too constrained.”


Seeing the puzzled expressions of the grandmother from his mother's and aunt's side, Yu Xiaocao smiled and said, “Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, I don't know if Uncle Li can handle all the work up front, I don't know if Uncle Li can handle all the work in front, so can you go help first? I will come to help after applying the medicine. ”


Madam Han nodded and said, “Not too busy, so it doesn't matter just with your grandmother and me. You're hurt, so you should stay and chat with your godmother! ”


Xia Furong's heart was filled with contempt for the typical speech and behavior of the two rural women — As expected, the cursed relative could not be shown.


Yu Xiaocao sat down and moved his hand. It seemed that his back was not as painful as before. She slowly put on her clothes and said, “Godmother, will you rest at the residence in the city or return to Dongshan Village with us?”


His godfather's job was basically the same as a project supervisor. It took at least three to five years to complete the construction of the port, so he bought a residence in the city. But his godfather rarely lived in a residence in the city. He usually stayed at the old residence of the Zhao Family at the foot of the Western Mountains. This was due to its location close to Xiaocao's house, which made it more convenient for him to load free meals from the Yu Family.


Fang Zizhen had already explained the matter to his wife in his letters. Madam Fang pondered for a moment and then said, “With my understanding of your godfather, he will go straight to Dongshan Village when he returns from the prefectural city. So I will be waiting for him in Dongshan Village! ”


Yu Xiaocao nodded his head obediently and said, “Mhm! The godfather left for the prefectural city this morning so he should be almost until now. I think he should stay in the prefectural city and come back tomorrow! The living conditions in the city are better, but no one has lived there for a long time. So it will be very difficult to clean. Although the house in Dongshan Village was simple and crude, it was closer to my house and we could look after each other. Godmother, you've been traveling a long time, so you must be hungry, right? I'll buy you a party at Zhenxiu Restaurant. ”.


It costs at least a hundred taels to eat at the Zhenxiu Restaurant in the capital, and paying three to five hundred taels for a meal is common. Lady Fang knows that her adopted daughter has average living conditions. Although the watermelon shop went very well, it was better to help his daughter save money.


“I heard from your godfather that you have excellent cooking skills. Godmother wants to try your cooking. ” Lady Fang stroked the delicate black hair of the young girl, and inwardly praised the little girl's hair for growing so well. Unbeknownst to him, this black hair on the head still fuses a stick of firewood half a year ago!


Yu Xiaocao thought of the empty kitchen in the courtyard. He was so busy with the opening of his shop that he had no time to prepare kitchen utensils, let alone seasonings. She bit her lips and muttered, “Godmother, nothing is prepared in the small kitchen in the store. A skilled woman can hardly cook without rice. It's almost noon, so how can I make food for you now? If you want to try my cooking, I can show you my skills tonight! Let's settle for a meal at Zhenxiu Restaurant first.. ”.


Would he eat at Zhenxiu Restaurant, yet he described it as withholding a meal? If others heard this, he would definitely be beaten up! Due to the endless stream of new dishes in Zhenxiu Restaurant, even the tables in the main dining room had been fully booked for several days. Without making any reservations in advance, never think about eating delicious dishes at Zhenxiu Restaurant!


Xia Furong narrowed her eyes and sneered while grinning, ‘A poor country girl wants to pretend to be able and impress my aunt by treating her to a meal at Zhenxiu Restaurant? Even a table of the simplest dishes in Zhenxiu Restaurant would cost several dozen taxis. Even if he sold watermelon for an entire day, he might still not get enough money to eat at the restaurant. ‘ Later, he will have to take advantage of this opportunity to order more of their signature dishes so that the damned brat will be heartbroken! Even the arrogant and arrogant noblewomen in the capital rarely had the chance to dine at Zhenxiu Restaurant, let alone him!


It's almost noon. Xiaocao, who had been busy working since dawn, was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back. After a light chat with her godmother, she accompanied her godmother to the nearby Zhenxiu Restaurant.


As she passed by the store, she smiled at the maternal grandmother and the maternal aunt of the eldest, who was in the store, “Grandmother, Aunt of the Eldest Mother, who was in the store, since there are currently not many customers, let's eat something across the street first ! ”


Madam Yao looked at the luxurious silk brocade Lady Fang was wearing, as well as the imposing aura she was emitting. Even the two maids behind him were dressed better than them. He felt a little embarrassed by his inferiority, so he shook his hand repeatedly and said, “You go accompany your godmother! There must be someone in the store. We can buy two steamed flatbreads to eat later! ”


Xiaocao also knew that, even though the maternal grandmother and maternal aunt of the eldest mother's side left, they would still not be able to eat easily. Therefore, he did not force them and said, “I will ask the waiter to deliver the food. Grandma, Aunt of the Oldest Mother, roasted chicken and duck osmanthus Zhenxiu Restaurant is quite tasty. Later, try tasting it and see if it suits your taste! ”


“Not necessary, not necessary! How much money do you have to spend to get chicken and duck ?! Even if you have money, you still can't spend it like this. I think eating steamed flatbread is okay! ” Aunt Eldest Mother disagrees with Xiaocao spending money recklessly.


None of them knew that Yu Xiaocao never needed to spend money to eat at Zhenxiu Restaurant. No matter what, he could be considered a business partner with the boss of Zhenxiu Restaurant. The money he helped earn was enough for him to eat a sumptuous meal for several times in a lifetime!


It was currently meal time, so Zhenxiu Restaurant was completely filled with customers. Several people from out of town, who came to visit after hearing about the famous restaurant, came out of the restaurant disappointed after hearing that the table had been booked for the next three days.


“It looks like there is no table left.” Lady Fang, who was holding the hand of her goddaughter and was unwilling to let go, heard the disappointment of the passing visitors. He lowered his head to look at Xiaocao and said softly.


Xia Furong also had a face filled with disappointment. He could not control himself and said, “Younger Cousin, do you pretend to be generous and treat us to a meal because you know that we will not be able to get a table at the current Zhenxiu Restaurant ?!”


The furong! Lady Fang was able to understand a young girl who had a hint of arrogance, so she was not angry about the matter. He was afraid that his daughter would be angry from embarrassment, so he hurriedly reprimanded his nephew.


Xia Furong was getting angry. He snorted miserably and said, “Auntie, you're on his side! See, even someone like Second Young Master Zhu can't get a table, let alone an ordinary peasant girl like her? ”
