Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Qiu Rongrong was completely amused by her childish and funny words.

Wen Yao played tricks for a while before asking Qiu Rongrong to be led to the kitchen. The things to be made were a bit complicated, so it was better to start early.

Before leaving, Wen Yao asked Qiu Rongrong again: "Madam, could you please send someone to Jishi Hall to tell my father and the others? I'm afraid they will worry if they wait too long."

Qiu Rongrong nodded: "I will."

Wen Yao then left with peace of mind. Qiu Rongrong kept watching her go away, then slowly looked back and murmured: "An outsider knows that I have depression in my heart, so he acts cute and funny to make me happy..."

Qiu Rongrong smiled bitterly and shook her head, but the person beside her advised her to be generous and understand filial piety and family harmony.

Although Qiu Rongrong couldn't go to the kitchen to watch Wen Yao cook in person, she had someone keeping an eye on her. Qiu Rongrong was surprised to learn that she actually had good cooking skills at such a young age. After all, Wen Yao was only ten years old.

After noon, Mrs. Xie sent someone over.

The one who came was Mrs. Xie’s nanny. Coincidentally, Wen Yao had met her before.

After entering the room, she bowed to Qiu Rongrong and said: "Madam, the old lady has eaten. She has eaten most of the four dishes on the table today and her appetite is very good. The old lady sent her slave to ask if it is Wherever you find the cook, let him stay in the house from now on."

Wen Yao was waiting for the results at Qiu Rongrong's place. She felt relieved after hearing the previous words. No matter whether Mrs. Xie really had no appetite or she was just trying to trouble Mrs. Xie, what she made was in her heart. There are several.

A dish of cabbage stuffed with meat, both vegetables and meat, tender and juicy, and she has processed the meat so that it is so tender that even a toothless old man can eat it.

A dish of Sixi Meatballs, for the same reason, is also made of meat and served with her secret sauce. Not to mention now, back then, there was no old professor in the entire Academy of Agricultural Sciences who didn’t say that the Sixi Meatballs she made were delicious. It tastes good and is most suitable for the elderly.

She made a snack, it was very simple, just make a steamed cake for Luo Shi and others at home, but Xie's family was rich and had a lot of ingredients, so she simply made a perfect steamed cake.

Finally, there is a bowl of amomum spareribs soup. Wash the spareribs and blanch them to remove blood stains. Add ginger and cooking wine to remove the smell. Prepare an appropriate amount of barley and stir-fry it. Soak the tangerine peel until soft and scrape off the impurities on the capsules. Chop the spring amomum kernels and mix with Just simmer the ribs together for an hour.

Before serving the food, Wen Yao specifically told the maid serving the food that Mrs. Xie must drink the soup first and then eat anything else.

You know, this soup has an appetizing effect, so it's not surprising at all that you can eat the following dishes.

It's this last sentence that explains why Wen Yao feels so uncomfortable.

She didn't speak, just sat quietly. The old lady also saw her. She was stunned for a moment at first, then looked away, thinking that Qiu Rongrong had invited her in private to thank her for saving her life.

Qiu Rongrong's face had a pale look, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking. The woman seemed to be a little impatient with the wait, so she raised her head and called out: "Madam?"

Qiu Rongrong then casually dusted off her clothes and said, "I can't make the decision. I have to ask the cook what she wants."

After saying that, Qiu Rongrong turned to Wen Yao and asked: "Miss Wen, are you willing to stay in the house?"

Wen Yao raised her eyebrows, she was not stupid.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Xie, I'm afraid it can't be done. We can't live without me at home." Wen Yao refused directly.

Qiu Rongrong glanced at the old woman and said: "If the girl is willing to stay, I will not treat her badly and give her 20 taels of monthly money."

20 taels, does she lack these 20 taels?

Okay, it's missing, but selling herself to the Xie family for 20 taels of silver is a bit unworthy. There are many ways to make money, but Wen Yao is still reluctant to let her trade her freedom.

"Sorry." Wen Yao only said two words, and Qiu Rongrong understood.

Wen Yao's refusal was actually unexpected by Qiu Rongrong. After all, the monthly salary she offered was already very high, but after thinking about it, it made sense.

After getting in touch, she found that although Wen Yao was young, he was very opinionated and the two of them could talk well. What's more, her brother was Doctor Jin's apprentice. Others didn't know where Doctor Jin came from, but she knew it all.

"In that case, let's forget it." Qiu Rongrong looked at the woman with a pity look on her face and said, "You heard it too. If Miss Wen doesn't want it, there's nothing I can do about it."

The old woman obviously disagreed. She glanced at Wen Yao, frowned slightly, and then said to Qiu Rongrong: "Madam, it's not that I'm too talkative. It's rare for me to have a big appetite. Please give me more consideration. I'm sorry. Once the person's health is well, the master can safely teach the young master."

The tone sounded calm, but Wen Yao could hear a hint of threat.

As expected, Wen Yao saw Qiu Rongrong's beautiful face frowning again. She also looked at Wen Yao with some apology and embarrassment in her eyes.

Wen Yao sighed, and probably guessed Qiu Rongrong's situation. Although she seemed to be the head wife of the Xie family, she was probably the only one who knew the bitterness inside.

Looking back on the plot in the original book, Xie Anyi has a talent for business, and with the support of the Qiu family's financial resources and connections, he becomes richest in the world, but it is the Xie family who ultimately benefits, and the Qiu family is even rarely mentioned in the original book.

Obviously, this was used as a springboard.

Thinking of Qiu Rongrong's willingness to sacrifice for Xie Anyi, Wen Yao couldn't help complaining that the grown-up Xie Anyi was no longer a thing, using her mother's clan as a stepping stone to finally strengthen her father's clan.

Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that it can only be the fate of a third male and a fourth male. The big head of their family finally got the upper hand, and he also knew how to repay the Luo family and the Wen family, and even looked for the sold brother and sister until his death. No wonder the big head of their family can be the second male.

Wen Yao's thoughts drifted back, and she really couldn't bear Qiu Rongrong to be embarrassed again, so she said: "But I can come here every few days to help Mrs. Xie improve the food."

The old lady obviously felt that this was not enough. She frowned and looked at Qiu Rongrong. However, Qiu Rongrong had already cast a grateful look at Wen Yao. When she looked at the old lady again, she regained her aloof and cold look and said, "You too If you hear it, just go back to the old lady."

"Madam." The woman spoke again, but Qiu Rongrong didn't give her a chance and said directly: "Back off, I'm tired."

The woman didn't dare to confront Qiu Rongrong, so she could only bow respectfully and retreat.

As soon as she left, Qiu Rongrong relaxed, sighed deeply, and took the initiative to hold Wen Yao's hand: "Thank you."

She could tell that Wen Yao was coming to her rescue.

A woman born in a merchant family is the most understanding of human nature, and she can feel Wen Yao's kindness.

Wen Yao didn't want the topic to become so serious, so she raised the five taels of silver in her hand and said with a smile, "Didn't Madam give you money?"

puff...

Qiu Rongrong laughed.

Wen Yao laughed for a while and then asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Where is the young master? Why haven't you seen him?"
