Xu Yao didn't care what Liu Moyan was thinking, and didn't take it to heart. After being in the apocalypse for a long time, she had clothes to wear and food to eat, and didn't have to worry about other people's lives and deaths. The only thing she cared about was what to eat today.

When it was time for dinner, she couldn't wait to go to the kitchen. The chef Zhao cooked delicious dishes. She loved the fried meatballs made by the chef the most. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Before she even stepped into the kitchen, she heard someone arguing. The maid of the eldest lady was pointing at the cook Zhao and scolding her: "What do you mean by this? My wife said yesterday that she wanted to eat old duck soup, but today she came and you said no. Do you think my wife is not favored anymore, so you flatter her and bully her? Let me tell you, no matter how good my eldest lady is, she is still the daughter of the Minister's Mansion, and you can't treat her badly as a lowly maid."

Mrs. Zhao was also in a bad mood. She poured a basin of water, almost soaking the maid. "You are a deceitful dog servant. It is obvious that you want to eat the old duck soup, but you are fooling me under the name of the mistress. Chunjuan, I warn you, if you keep talking nonsense here, don't blame me for breaking your head."

Chef Zhao came from the north and had a hot temper. She hated Chunjuan's pretentious and bullying nature the most.

When Chunjuan heard her words, she felt guilty, but she still said stubbornly: "You are talking nonsense, my wife just wants to eat old duck soup, are you the lady's personal maid, or am I."

Mrs. Zhao sneered, put her hands on her hips, pointed at her and cursed: "Shameless thing, your bones are not as heavy as two taels, but your courage is stronger than a tiger's. I'm not afraid to tell you that in order to make the lady satisfied with the meal, I specially sent someone to ask the lady what flavor she wanted to eat. As a result, the lady said that she didn't say she wanted to eat old duck soup."

Chunjuan then remembered that there were relatives coming to the village today, so she went out to meet her brother and sister-in-law, which allowed the shrew to discover something.

She gritted her teeth, still unwilling to give in. If she couldn't save her face today, how would she survive here in the future?

She looked around and grabbed the thin little boy and asked, "Is it you? It must be you, little whore, who are talking nonsense and spreading rumors. I will beat you to death today."

Quan'er was too skinny and small to be her opponent. Chef Zhao naturally couldn't let outsiders bully her daughter, so she immediately went up to snatch her away.

During the struggle, Chunjuan found a sharp object in her hand, which was about to pierce into Chef Zhao's flesh. Xu Yao then picked up a stone on the ground and hit her elbow. Chunjuan's hand immediately became numb and painful, and the sharp hairpin fell to the ground.

Mrs. Zhao realized that she was almost stabbed, and she was so angry that she grabbed Chunjuan's hair and started fighting in the yard. Everyone stepped forward to stop the fight, and Xu Yao took the opportunity to enter the kitchen and secretly ate a piece of white meat pie. It was delicious, really delicious, and tasted countless times better than the expired noodles in the end of the world.

The chef finally discovered the noise in the kitchen, and he scolded them harshly. It seemed fair, but no one was appeased. But at this point, the two had to separate, and the feud was over.

Xu Yao quickly stole a few pancakes, and when Chef Zhao hid aside to treat her wounds, he quietly put them in her hands and gave Quan'er another pancake.

Quan'er looked at her with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Yao."

Seeing how heartless she was, Mrs. Zhao the chef also got angry: "What are you laughing at? Why were you so scared when you were caught just now? You're like a stupid donkey."

Although he said this, he still helped her tidy up her clothes. But Quan'er said, "Don't be afraid, I saw Sister Yao, with her around, bad guys can't bully me."

Mrs. Zhao recalled Chunjuan's sudden strange reaction just now, and she knew that it was Xu Yao who was helping her. She sighed and said, "What a pity for you, girl."

When Xu Yao was thirteen years old, she picked him up from a snowstorm, unconscious, with no idea of ​​his identity or origin. The housekeeper took pity on him and agreed to keep him, but if he did, he would have to sign a contract to sell himself.

Seeing that Xu Yao was confused due to the fever, Mrs. Zhao, the chef, was worried that she would not survive, so she decided to sell herself to the Liu family for five taels of silver. After three days, she woke up and was fine except that she was dazed.

Later, Mrs. Zhao, the chef, accidentally discovered that Xu Yao seemed to know a little about boxing and was smart, but not very talkative. So she believed that she had a background, but unfortunately she had no memory of her past and had sold herself into a slave.

Chef Zhao once worried that Xu Yao would hate her, but Xu Yao said that she was not an ungrateful person, and she would always remember Chef Zhao's life-saving grace.

Xu Yao worked quietly in the kitchen for two years and never showed up to do anything. If Second Lady hadn't suddenly asked her to serve a few days ago, no one would have noticed that there was such a fire-making girl in the kitchen.

Chunjuan also resented Zhao the cook because of this incident. Chunjuan had a younger sister who was a third-class maid. She wanted to take the opportunity to send her younger sister to the second lady to be a first-class maid, but was intercepted by Xu Yao.

And because of Xu Yao's relationship with Chef Zhao, they targeted her.

"You have to be careful of Chunjuan. She is very bold and often acts in the name of her master. And the mistress is soft-hearted. I think something bad will happen to her sooner or later."

Xu Yao smiled and asked her what delicious dishes there were today, as the Second Lady was still waiting for dinner.

Mrs. Zhao, the chef, knew that she knew what was going on, so she didn't scold her. After finishing the meat pie, she went to the kitchen to pack up the Second Lady's dinner.

Xu Yao was walking back with the food box. Halfway through, he heard a slight breathing sound not far ahead. The man must have been very nervous. He even leaned forward to take a look, then quickly dodged back.

Was this an ambush for her?

Xu Yao saw the reflection of water at the hanging flower gate. If she walked over, she might fall. She was holding a food box in her hand. If she fell, she would not be able to eat the food in the food box.

She looked at the corner, picked up a stone and threw it far away, causing the person in the corner to look back nervously. In the blink of an eye, she had climbed over the wall and landed steadily on a high place.

The maid who was ambushing her found that she was missing, so she rushed out to check, but there was no one around. She was very confused and wondered where she had gone.

This is Huang Ying, who is good friends with Chun Juan. Xu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, thought about it, and threw a few stones at the same time. The stones seemed to have eyes, and they hit Huang Ying from all directions. The little girl was hit, but she couldn't see anyone. She was scared and thought it was haunted. She immediately ran towards the Chuihua Gate. As soon as she ran over, she was tripped by the trap she set and fell to the ground.

She became even more frightened, and she got up and didn't care about anything else, she just wanted to escape.

Only then did Xu Yao come down from the roof, carrying the food box and walking steadily to the Second Lady's yard.

She found that the second lady was packing up her things. She stuffed a pile of jewellery into the treasure box. When she saw Xu Yao, she immediately told her to deliver the things to Pei Shuo.

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment: "So anxious?"

She wanted to go tomorrow. If she went now, she would miss dinner time and the kitchen would definitely not leave any food for a maid. Even if Chef Zhao felt sorry for her and left some for her, it would not be enough to satisfy her appetite.

In the apocalypse, she was very hungry and her appetite was better than anyone else.
