Yu Dong looked at the treasures that were in front of her, she did not expect that Jiang Fenhua would bring her something this good! She only befriended him because she thought he was slightly pitiful with everything that was happening around him but now —— she was wrong! This mer was simply a treasure chest!
" Brother Fenhua," Yu Dong spoke her voice thick with emotions as her gaze never wandered too far from the mushrooms that were in front of her. Her voice was trembling a little which made Jiang Fenhua and the others feel a bit flustered since they thought that Yu Dong was angry or upset but to their surprise, Yu Dong stretched out her hands and held Jiang Fenhua's in hers as she exclaimed with a delightful voice, " You are my lucky charm! You have no idea what a good thing that you have brought to me."
This was the first time someone had called him their lucky charm, the second he was born in his mother's house, he tried everything to be loved by his mother but he was treated as if he was good for nothing. In fact, she would often call him a burden which made Jiang Fenhua rather upset, thus when he heard Yu Dong call him, her lucky charm, Jiang Fenhua started to blush until even his neck was covered in a bright red shade.
Qiao Sha looked at the excited Yu Dong and the blushing Jiang Fenhua, her eyebrows twitched when she saw the two of them acting so cosy and she immediately pulled her husband back by breaking the two up. Even Shen Li pulled his wife back, he wasn't jealous given he knew that Yu Dong was far more expressive and open than others but the same cannot be said for Qiao Sha who was looking rather livid at her concubine's hands being held by another woman.
" Dong Dong, please be a bit polite to our guests," Shen Li reminded his wife, he did not want the Marquis to think that his wife was hitting on her Concubine lest the woman removes the protection she has given to them just now. They were only mere commoners who had nothing but their own skills, if they were to go against officials then he was afraid that their family will be in rather big trouble.
Yu Dong too realised that she might have overstepped her boundaries which was why she rubbed the back of her head and then bowed in front of Qiao Sha and Jiang Fenhua apologetically. " I am sorry, I was a bit rash. It's just that Brother Fenhua really solved a big crisis for me and maybe it might not be wrong to say that for you as well which is why I got overly excited."
Her words caused Magistrate Li to frown along with Qiao Sha who looked at Jiang Fenhua who was silently sitting on the couch and then turned to look at Yu Dong who was smiling like a fool.
" What do you mean by this, Miss Yu?" Magistrate Li asked as she looked at Yu Dong who was treating these mushrooms as if they were some really great treasure. "Are these mushrooms really a good thing?"
She looked down at the slightly dried-up mushrooms and pursed her lips she was an official, and she had seen a lot of things before. These mushrooms did not incite as much excitement in her heart as they did in Yu Dong but that was because she didn't know what a good thing she had in front of her!
" Thats right," Qiao Sha had always been biased against Jiang Fenhua and did not think that the latter would come of any help, all she knew was that the mer was a troublemaker who only knew how to create ruckus every once and then, even if his paternal family was rather nice. They were just small officials who were guarding the borders of their land, how can they even get anything good with their status?
Yu Dong looked at the two women who did not know what a wonderful thing was sitting in front of them and clicked her tongue upon seeing their lack of wisdom. She then turned to look at Chen Mi who was in charge of cooking and then said with glittering eyes, " Mi, will you be kind enough to bring the grill that I made for the barbecue nights for our family?"
The grill that Yu Dong was talking about was still in making and no one had used it at the moment, in fact, it was nothing big but a big porcelain vat with an iron grill that Yu Dong made with her own hands after buying some scrapes from the blacksmith since iron was really expensive in this place.
Chen Mi knew which grill Yu Dong was talking about which was why he turned on his heels and then went inside the kitchen as he rummaged through the entire space and finally brought the grill that Yu Dong was talking about, but because it was too heavy he had to call Ye Liu for help.
The two mers set the grill on the top of the table while Yu Tong brought the small wooden blocks that she chopped a few days ago, her sister had asked her to chop a few days ago saying that their family will hold a small barbecue party but then the incident with Xiao Hua happened followed by Fang Chi and the party was forgotten.
She turned around and fetched the blocks while helping Chen Mi light the grill while Yu Dong washed the matsutake mushrooms and then chopped them into thin slices once she was done, she tested whether or not the grill was hot enough before she placed the chopped pieces of the matsutake mushrooms on the grill and watched them getting grilled slowly.
In her hands, she was holding a small fan which she used to fan the flames underneath the grill, such that the flames won't get too hot or cold and were just right to grill the mushrooms properly. And after a few minutes, a delectable aroma started to spread all over the room even waking up the one who had been pretending to be asleep all this time.
