Chapter 533: Err…
“Okay.” Liu Duo would, of course, be willing to feed Little Huzi. She was very free right now since no villagers came to sell their tomatoes.
She went to sit directly on the stool on the side. She coaxed him first then prepared to feed him egg soup. However, Little Huzi kept wailing and Liu Duo couldn’t do anything about it. Even her forehead was covered with sweat.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Li smiled and went forward. “Duo, I think I should handle this.”
“It is really hard to deal with Little Huzi when he acts up! He is so small but so strong.” Liu Duo wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Little Lian wouldn’t carry him during this time for fear that he would want breast milk. She smiled and said helplessly, “Yeah, he has been so stubborn these past few days and has been crying non-stop. I can’t even calm him down by coaxing.”
Liu Duo took over for Aunt Li on vegetable chopping duty. She laughed, “It will get better after a while. You aren’t letting him drink any break milk, so of course he would throw a tantrum.”
Ye Ling heard that their conversation was about weaning and felt embarrassed to join in. He just peeled garlic (for the tomato sauce) by the side while red in the face.
Lunch was even more lavish than breakfast. There were about seven or eight dishes and one soup.
“It’s time to eat! Yang, you guys go wash your hands then come to eat.” Liu Duo came out of the kitchen holding a plate of food.
Ye Ling and Little Lian also helped carried things such as bowls and chopsticks…
There were eleven people in total and they were split into two tables. Having all of them sit at one table would have made it too crowded. Aunt Li, Little Lian, Lau Liu, and the young coachman sat at one table. Liu Duo, the four Ye brothers, Li Wazi, and Dongfang Ming sat at another.
Ye Liu called out, “Brother Dongfang. The foods we eat may not be as delicious as the ones cooked by your chefs, and we also don’t have any exquisite wines, but please don’t complain about it, okay?”
“Brother Ye, you really know how to joke. How can I complain? If I wanted to complain I wouldn’t have stayed and freeloaded off you guys!” Dongfang Ming smiled.
Only Dongfang Ming and Ye Liu kept talking endlessly at the table. Ye Liu had a ready answer for everything Dongfang Ming said.
Ye Liu and Dongfang Ming were able to finish discussing the frozen fruit salad within a meal. They only needed to wait until he went back to the capital to start producing and selling them. Liu Duo would start going to town from tomorrow onwards to teach his chef how to make it and some skills for making it.
When Ye Mo heard Liu Duo was going to town to demonstrate the product for the chef Dongfang Ming brought over, his face became so angry that it couldn’t possibly look any angrier!
Liu Duo had already said everything she needed to say so she said, “Mr. Liuzi, you keep chatting with Mr. Dongfang. I’ll head upstairs to take an afternoon nap.” She then said to Dongfang Ming, “Mr. Dongfang, feel free to make yourself at home, I’ll be taking my leave now.”
Before Ye Liu or Dongfang Ming replied, Ye Mo immediately said, “Go quickly. Otherwise, the sky will be dark soon!”
Err…
Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him when she heard him! What did he mean by the sky would turn dark soon? It was only about two o’clock in the afternoon after lunch.
She couldn’t be bothered with his sudden outburst and Liu Duo went upstairs straight away.
Dongfang Ming learned an additional fact about Ye Mo. Besides just being short-tempered, he also didn’t know how to speak well. Of the four brothers, he was probably the one who made Liu Duo mad the most, right?
When Ye Mo saw that Liu Duo’s body had disappeared into the staircase, he said directly to Dongfang Ming, “Mr. Dongfang, we might not be able to chat with you any longer. We still need to go to town to deliver goods!”
They would deliver goods to the restaurant once every two days.
Dongfang Ming already had the inclination to leave so he smiled when he heard him. “It just so happens that I also need to go back to town to arrange a few things. Let’s go together.”
As he spoke, he stood up and tidied his clothes.
The coachman saw this and immediately went out to the yard door to change the direction of the horse carriage and wait for Dongfang Ming to come out.
