Chapter 230 Canteen

Su Linhua asked, "What?"

Su Chengnan suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Although the people of Tieniu Village have been very familiar with us all the way, now that they have settled down, they probably don't have a sense of security or belonging. Let them come to the cafeteria to help out, doing some washing vegetables or cleaning up. The wages are the same as everyone else."

"Okay, okay! Eldest sister is really thoughtful. I'll go discuss this with mother-in-law and Chen's sister-in-law and see if they have anything they want to do and let them take the lead."

"Well, sure! You can handle the rest."

"okay."

Uncle Fu watched the two young ladies settle the matter in just a few words. He couldn't tell whether he was relieved or disappointed. He always felt that he was too old to be of any help.

……

An hour later.

The canteen lit the stove and started cooking.

In the house, the maids, servants, and concubines were busy with various chores, and even Mr. Sun, who was taking the children to class, couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Our eldest daughter has some ideas. I secretly went to see it yesterday. The cafeteria is so huge!" said a maid excitedly.

"Yeah, I had to move tables and chairs many times to get enough. I don't know if the food will be better if we eat together this time."

"Are you stupid? That's definitely better than before! Although we had good food and accommodation in the capital before, ever since the eldest lady took charge, we've been eating meat every other day. Look at me! I've walked so much along the way, and I'm actually fat? I can't even imagine it."

"Hey, you know what, I think I've gained weight too! I originally thought it was just an illusion, but there's really more fat on my face and stomach." Another maid also echoed.

"How come you're not fat? Every time the Second Young Lady says she wants to try out a new dish and asks for help in finishing the food, you're always the first to raise your hand! We're so envious." The maids next to them joked.

Several maids gathered together, talking while working, their eyes unable to stop looking towards the dining hall. "The smoke is rising, there must be delicious food tonight! I can smell the aroma of meat..."

They were not the only ones who smelled the aroma of meat.

Sun Liangyuan was teaching a class, holding a book. He read a sentence and the children followed suit. But halfway through the article, someone suddenly shouted, "It smells so good! I'm hungry!"

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw the child Goudan step onto a chair, push open the window, put his little head on the windowsill, and keep sniffing the smell outside.

Goudan said excitedly: "Sir! It's a chicken! I can smell the aroma of chicken."

Everyone else craned their necks to watch, most of them imitating him, sniffing non-stop. Only a few young men, self-assured of their status, refrained from such behavior.

Han Xing and Goudan have been getting along well lately. He sat behind Goudan and tapped him on the head with the book in his hand. "The teacher is teaching, please sit down! Otherwise, he will be angry."

Goudan's mind has been completely bewitched by the aroma of chicken. Even though he has been eating pork every day recently, this kid still has a strange obsession with chicken.

Goudan shook his head, dodging Han Xing's hand, blinking his big, twinkling eyes and saying, "Sir, you won't be angry. You still owe me eight chickens!"

"Cough cough..." Sun Liangyuan coughed awkwardly, and the others quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.

"Goudan!" Sun Liangyuan called him.

"Sir, I'm so hungry. Can you let me eat the chicken? Just consider it as you returning one to me!" Goudan's attitude was very firm, and he was completely overwhelmed.

Sun Liangyuan was actually a little hungry, and after being pestered by this kid, he had no intention of continuing the class.

"That's all, let's stop here for today."

"Wow! That's great, thank you sir! I'll take my leave!" Goudan slammed the window shut and ran out of the classroom, leaving everyone else stunned.

Han Xing frowned, "Sir, this..."

Sun Liangyuan didn't take it to heart. "This child is innocent and straightforward by nature. He's not usually like this. I don't know why he has been following chickens since he was young. He has an indissoluble bond with them and can't forget them."

Yu Bao pursed his lips and shook his head. "Sir, he's more than obsessed with it, he's practically crazy! Back when we were still in the village, whenever my family killed or stewed a chicken, Goudan would always come over. It's really strange."

Sun Liangyuan laughed heartily, "Alright, you all go play."

Everyone stood up and answered, "Yes, thank you for your teaching today, sir. You have worked hard."

As soon as school was over, Goudan ran to the cafeteria and slipped next to the stove.

Su Linhua was busy instructing the cook on how to make braised chicken. "Although the fire has been on for half an hour, the flavor of the spices hasn't fully penetrated the meat yet. It needs to soak for another hour."

The cook sighed, "So long? But if that's the case, the stove won't be enough."

Su Linhua thought for a moment and ordered someone to bring out a large pot. "Come, change the pot! We can bring it back and heat it up when we're ready for dinner."

The cook was happy: "Good! The second young lady is really smart."

In addition to the cooks, there were also male cooks in the kitchen. Men always took the initiative to undertake such heavy lifting. Old Li and Xiao Wang wrapped the handle of the pot with a rag and moved it to the side. As soon as they put it aside, they turned around and saw Goudan, the little kid.

"Ah! Why are you here? Shouldn't you be studying at this time?" Su Linhua pinched the child's ear and lifted him over.

Goudan bit his lip and swallowed his saliva, saying, "Second Miss, this chicken is so delicious. I really want to try it. Can you give me a chicken drumstick?"

Old Li picked up the rag on the table and pretended to come over to hit Goudan, "Stop pestering the Second Young Lady, kid! It's not time for dinner yet, go out and play!"

Goudan smacked his lips twice, wiped the corner of his mouth, and looked at Su Linhua pitifully. Su Linhua felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. For a cook, this was a great affirmation.

"Okay, it's just a chicken drumstick, just give it to him."

"Second Miss, I'm afraid this child will come every day." Old Li sighed.

Goudan's eyes sparkled as he said innocently, "Thank you, Second Miss. This uncle said I'll come every day. So, will there be chickens tomorrow as well?"

Old Li was choked by him, but everyone else laughed out loud.

Su Chengnan just happened to come in from the door with Han Xing. She happened to hear what Goudan said. She already knew what had happened before and couldn't help but laugh: "It's not necessarily possible to eat chicken every day, but you can definitely eat it every week."

"Wow, miss, really?!"

"Really. But can you tell me why you like eating chicken so much?"
