70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 240 No Merchant Without Deceit: He Yuxiang

He Yuxiang went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and He Yuan, seeing that it was almost time, also prepared to cook.

The dark red beef on the kitchen cutting board was 'clearance' that he had secretly asked someone to leave for him.

The beef shank is lean with some tendons; although it's not top-grade, it's still quite rare.

Chen Qing came to the kitchen to start a fire for him. Seeing He Yuan begin cutting beef, she asked curiously, "Is there a specific way to cut beef?"

"Yes, slice thinly against the grain."

His knife blade was perpendicular to the fibers, the cutting board made a rhythmic sound, and then the thin slices of meat were laid out.

Chen Qing felt as if he were admiring a work of art.

He Yuan plans to make stir-fried beef with ginger and scallions today.

So they used ginger juice to soothe the beef.

Heat oil in a wok, and the moment the oil smokes up, add garlic cloves to sauté until fragrant. Once the garlic cloves are golden brown and the edges curl up, slide the beef slices into the wok, and they sizzle, releasing a delicious aroma of beef.

Chen Qing looked at the dishes, then secretly glanced at the person cooking them; they were a feast for the eyes.

The soft sunlight streaming in through the window cast a deep shadow on his brow bone. With his superior bone structure, he exuded a peculiar charm as he prepared meals.

It's even more lethal.

She would steal another glance, then another, and eventually she started looking openly.

So what? They're dating.

He Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Normally, Chen Qing would wait outside while he cooked, making the cooking process smooth. He Yuxiang could even teach him if he wanted to learn. But now, with Chen Qing staring at him intently, he felt tense all over.

"Why don't you go outside and rest?"

"Huh? Am I not good at starting a fire?" Chen Qing glanced into the stove and asked, "Do you want a big one or a small one?"

He Yuan hesitated, then said, "Never mind."

Chen Qing was bewildered.

What's wrong?

She's learned how to start a fire!

Chen Qing then turned her gaze to the beef that He Yuan was stir-frying, and couldn't take her eyes off it as she smelled the increasingly strong aroma.

After He Yuan finished cooking, he put the beef on a plate. Seeing that she was looking at it with longing, he washed a pair of chopsticks and picked up a slice of beef for her: "Try it."

Chen Qing blushed slightly, but still leaned in and ate a piece of beef. With her cheeks puffed out and her eyes wide open, she finally managed to squeeze out, "So fragrant and tender."

Seeing that she liked it, He Yuan's eyes curved slightly, and he picked up another piece and held it to her lips.

Chen Qing wanted to refuse because she felt it wasn't good to eat alone, but her body obediently ate another piece. It smelled so good that she wanted to keep it for herself, so she mumbled, "That's enough, that's enough."

I couldn't stop eating it.

He Yuan regretfully stopped and continued preparing the next dish.

When He Yuxiang returned from the supply and marketing cooperative, he smelled a delicious aroma, saw the beef already placed in bowls and plates, took out bowls and chopsticks from the wooden cupboard, and carried them to the water vat to scoop water to rinse them.

Before long, the three dishes and one soup were ready: stir-fried beef with ginger and scallions, stir-fried eggs with lettuce, steamed dried mussels, and kelp and tofu soup.

Next to the bowls and chopsticks was a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda.

Xiao Yu braced herself on the table with both hands and exclaimed, "Wow! So many dishes!"

Chen Qing agreed: "It's too lavish."

It's practically New Year's Eve dinner level.

Everyone took their seats and began to eat.

Xiaoyu's bowl contained a slice of beef that each of her family members had given her, so she had four slices of beef and was the first person to eat it.

She scooped up the beef and rice together with a spoon and put it in her mouth. The moment the juices burst in her mouth, her eyes widened, and she happily shook her head, her two pigtails swaying as she said, "This meat is sweet! It's so delicious!"

At first, everyone was eating properly, but later when the beef ran out, they simply used a soup spoon to pour the beef broth into the bowls, which was also very delicious when eaten with rice.

The three dishes and soup on the table were quickly devoured. Xiaoyu and Mao Mao were so full that they lay down on the long bench.

The two patted their round bellies, their faces flushed with satisfaction.

Like two well-fed kittens, one a tabby and the other an orange tabby. The sun was warm today, and sunlight streamed into the main hall. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, and the two little ones' eyelids began to droop.

He Yuan reminded, "You should wait a while after you finish eating before you go to sleep."

Chen Qing quickly chimed in, "Yes, let's rest a bit before we sleep."

Both of them simultaneously used their fingers to pull at their eyelids, their eyelashes still trembling, clearly showing how sleepy they were.

He Yuxiang stacked the plates and said, "You can go to sleep after I wash the dishes."

He took the rice bowl to wash it.

He Yuan then got up and walked out.

Chen Qing: "Are you going to work overtime?"

"No, I'm going back to get something."

"oh oh."

Chen Qing didn't pay any attention when he went back to the next room.

It’s time to say it or not.

She was also a little sleepy.

Seeing the two children sleeping so comfortably, she also lay down on the bench. He Yuting felt a little uncomfortable, but she could bear it.

Gradually, drowsiness crept in.

She was the first person to fall asleep.

"Chen Qing."

The man called out softly.

Chen Qing frowned, feeling uncomfortable while sleeping. As she tried to turn over, she fell into a firm embrace.

He Yuan's brows furrowed with a hint of helplessness, but seeing her sleeping face, his heart softened. He carried her to bed first, and after taking good care of her, he went to hug the two children.

Seeing that they were all asleep, He Yuxiang wiped the table clean and started doing his homework.

He Yuan returned to the main hall, took out a letter, and began to answer their questions.

The uncle and nephew were both quiet, with only the scratching sound of the pen tip writing on the paper.

Chen Qing took a light nap, and when she woke up, she saw them writing on the table. She didn't know whether she should disturb them.

He Yuan looked up as if he had sensed something. "Awake?"

"Yeah, I don't take long naps." Chen Qing sat down and looked at the stack of envelopes in front of He Yuan with some surprise: "You need to write to so many friends?"

"Yes, most of it is answering questions." He Yuan showed her what he was writing.

Chen Qing saw a pile of words that looked like gibberish. "You keep writing, I'll sit for a while."

I feel like watching any longer would be an insult to her intelligence.

She quickly moved closer to He Yuxiang, intending to play an important role as a parent—helping her child with his homework—only to find him confessing his guilt.

"He Yuxiang, what are you writing!"

He Yuxiang: "I write self-criticisms for others, and I get paid two cents for every thousand words."

He Yuan looked up in surprise: "So expensive."

"I even have to imitate the handwriting!" He Yuxiang felt that he had gotten an incredible deal.

Those people's handwriting was so ugly it was bizarre, and it would take him a while to imitate it.

He Yuan took it and looked at it, his feelings somewhat complicated: "I used to only be able to charge one cent, you people are really well off now."

Chen Qing was suddenly struck by a joke and burst into laughter.

The uncle and nephew had no idea what she was laughing about.

Chen Qing waved his hand: "You guys continue."

He Yuxiang then said to He Yuan, "I've only just started this business, and the price will go up in the future, so don't be surprised."

He Yuan really felt that he had perfectly inherited his ancestors' business talent. At such a young age, he already had the air of "no business without cunning".
