Chapter 653: Intruder
Fang Chi even though he was left behind at home couldn't stop thinking about what was going on in the old Mu house. He wanted to come over at lunch but then he was stopped by his grandmother who told him that he should not go and disturb Yu Dong who was working hard and asked him to take care of his child.
She told him that everyone in the old Mu house will be working hard in cleaning the rice bran with all the dust and the small granules of the rice bran flying around he might end up getting affected which was why he did not come in the afternoon.
However, in the night he thought that his wife and the others must be done with the work which was why he brought the meat and the other vegetables with him along with Lang. He was worried that if there was no oil then everyone will blame Yu Dong and could not sit still, now that he saw the oil with his own eyes, he heaved a sigh of relief, at least he would have to worry about anything now that the oil has been extracted.
Yu Dong brought Fang Chi to the kitchen where Chen Mi has already brought a small amount of oil from the barrel to cook their dinner. He not only prepared a whole wok of noodles that was drizzled with extra oil, but he also cooked the chicken in the oil frying it after frying it, the same could be said for the crabs that he marinated with a good amount of spices before frying them into the shape of crab patties.
" Oh you are already cooking," Wu Junfen who had to leave the village because she was working in the town came to the Mu house with her husband. She was holding some mutton and a few potatoes in her hand behind the two of them they could see Elder Wu as well who was sniffing the strong scent of delicious meal filling the space.
" This smells so good, I am glad that my daughter was smart enough to invest in it," she muttered as she smelled the scent of the oil, it did not smell as greasy as the rapeseed and smelled rather light, what was she could smell the scent of spices more than the oil, this was something that she has never thought was possible.
Wu Junfen also nodded and agreed with her mother, in the past she too wanted to take some of Qiao Lu's business but the thing that she was the harbinger of death and summoner of souls, she could not do anything like farming or extracting oil. Every time she did something related to nature she will end up ruining it, at the end, she could only do what she was capable of and did not dabble in things that she had no idea about.
Her granddaughter has always been blessed with green fingers and it was not a stroke of luck that she was able to wake up the spiritual energy of nature though it was the weakest when compared to all the powers that were used in the apocalypse world, it could be considered the most powerful in this agricultural driven world.
Fen Hua who heard his mother-in-law muttering on the hand felt his lips twitch, his wife left for work and because his mother-in-law was scared of his wife she did not say anything to Wu Junfen but instead she turned to look at him and then kept on complaining for an entire day saying that his wife was foolish for making such a decision and that there will be no way Yu Dong would be able to extract oil out of that dry rice bran but now that the oil was extracted she was praising his wife like she did not scold her throughout the entire day.
He rubbed his ears and then pushed his daughter in front of him and said, " Go and play with Yu Mai, little bun and Mu Ran."
Chu Cheng who came to find out that Yu Dong was giving out shares of rice bran oil very late also rushed to the Mu household with his kids. He was very upset that no one told him, he only went to the town to ask his sister whether she could help the villagers in getting the ration but they all expressed their helplessness saying that if they did that then Qiao Lu will not sell them the oil from her oil mill.
He was tired and sweaty along with a bit angry and upset thinking that Qiao Lu has gone a bit too far imagine his shock when he returned to the village with a pregnant belly only to find out from her daughter that Yu Dong was now leading the villagers to extract oil!
" Yu Dong, you …I hope that you have left a share for me as well," Chu Cheng said as soon as he dropped his son and daughter to play with Yu Mai in the Mu house. He told them not to go to the backyard where the oil was and asked them to play in the front yard lest they knocked into something.
He pointed to his sister who immediately rushed back to her home in house to bring all the rice bran that was kept in the shed with her to the village and said, " I have brought all the rice bran with me as well."
Yu Dong wouldn't treat Chu Cheng who has helped her so much, badly either, she smiled and nodded. " There are still a few shareholders of the mill left, if you want then you can become one as well."
Only then did Chu Cheng heave a sigh of relief he was worried that he wouldn't be able to take a bite of this good pie and turned to look at his sisters and said, " Sister Caiyu, Sister Da bring all the sack of rice bran to the back of the house."
Sister Caiyu and Sister Da were both good to their brother, seeing him rise and get stable made them happy thus they did not even say a word of complaint and brought the sacks to the backyard but they didn't even leave for two seconds when everyone heard their scream. " What the hell are you doing?"
