Chapter 409

"Mother, I know. I will work hard!" Jia Dongxu said earnestly. Madame Jia had been carrying on for a long time just because she wanted to eat meat. She could only pressure Jia Dongxu to earn more money. As for going out with a bowl to beg for meat, she couldn't bring herself to do that yet—especially since the household in question was the Qin family, whom she couldn't afford to provoke. He Yuzhu was at home waiting for He Daqing to return from work. Smelling the aroma drifting from the Qin family's courtyard, he wondered to himself which seasonings had been used and how the dish had been prepared. He pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out how such a fragrance was achieved. Even while studying cooking at Hongbinlou, he had never smelled anything so intoxicating. He wanted to go ask Qin Shuli, but remembering the formidable nature of the Qin siblings, he stopped at his door. Even though He Yushui was playing at the Qin residence, he didn't dare go over.
