These Leftovers Are Perfect for You
Zhou Wanwan squinted at her and said, "I'm just curious, knowing I'm the leader of Black Wind Stronghold, why did you dare to offend me?"
Lu Lan covered her mouth and chuckled:
"Isn't he just the head of a small village? Isn't he just a minor village chief?"
You think you're so great, huh? Let me tell you the truth! Someone'll be hiring you soon.
Even the Black Wind Stronghold leader, what does that mean to these behemoths?
Wen Zhiyu looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "For a powerful family like ours, crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant."
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Really? Ants?"
Shangguan Wan'er also walked in from outside and said:
"Eating? These leftovers are perfect for you."
I imagine you didn't get to eat anything good in that mountain stronghold, did you?
Eat more! Otherwise you won't be able to eat such delicious food again.
Lu Xuening gave a light snort and said, "Zhou Wanwan, you can't waste food! This meal was specially prepared for you."
Every word was sarcastic.
Zhou Wanwan glanced at her briefly, then flipped the table over.
Lu Lan was so angry she jumped up and down:
"Zhou Wanwan, you overturned my table! Are you out of your mind?"
"Being able to eat leftovers is already quite good. Do you really think you're some kind of rich heiress?"
Zhou Wanwan ignored her, while Zheng Xing'an said indifferently, "Aren't you leaving yet? Our young lady is about to eat."
Lu Lan chuckled and said, "What do you mean by kicking us out? Are you planning to squat on the ground like dogs and eat like that?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "If you don't want to leave, then stay here."
As soon as she finished speaking, the branches of the Old Scholar Tree bound them together, tying them to the pillars one by one.
Then Zheng Xing'an led a few people to clean up the leftover food on the table and the floor.
Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "Xing'an, it's a waste to throw away these leftovers. If they like them, let them eat them!"
Lu Lan shouted loudly:
"Zhou Wanwan, what exactly is this thing?"
Why is this rope tied so tightly? I can't move at all.
Shangguan Wan'er shouted, "You'd better release us right now, or I'll definitely kill you!"
Zhou Wanwan didn't care about them. Zheng Xing'an had a table brought in, and this table was actually made of huanghuali wood.
There were over thirty dishes laid out on the table, including steamed shad, pan-fried silver knife fish, blanched river shrimp, braised fish fillets, crucian carp soup, stir-fried river clams, braised catfish, steamed perch, sweet and sour bream, dry pot yellow catfish, and tender eel segments...
A whole roasted suckling pig is placed in the very center, its skin golden and crispy.
Next to it were dishes like ginseng stewed with free-range chicken, deer antler stewed with old turtle, truffle braised wild venison, and mushroom stewed with mountain delicacies.
The final dessert was bird's nest, snow frog stewed with lotus seeds...
Zhou Wanwan sniffed and said, "Mmm, it smells so good! Brothers, dinner's ready! Come on over."
Su Zhixia suddenly didn't know whether to stay or leave.
She said awkwardly, "I... I'll go back now, so I won't disturb your meal."
Zhou Wanwan grabbed Su Zhixia's hand and said:
"Sister Su, since you're here, why don't you have a meal with me?"
"And while we're at it, let's see if our chef's cooking is any good."
Su Zhixia sat down next to Zhou Wanwan with a blush on her face and said:
"That would be so embarrassing!"
"But your food is really good, how come you have so many river delicacies?"
Shangguan Wan'er roared, "Zhou Wanwan, you little bitch, let us go right now! Do you believe I'll have my guards kill you?"
Zhou Wanwan glared at her and said, "It's too noisy!"
The vines covered her mouth, Shangguan Wan'er cried out in terror, "Mmm, mmm..."
The mouths of everyone else were also covered. Zhou Wanwan was happy; the shad and ribbonfish indeed tasted incredibly fresh.
Just because they said she couldn't afford river fish, dozens of people went to the riverbank that afternoon and caught a lot of river fish for her.
Ancient river delicacies were much more delicious than modern ones. She would like to try pufferfish, but she was afraid that pufferfish was too poisonous.
The scales of the shad were not scraped off, which makes it extremely tender.
Zhou Wanwan ate some more roast suckling pig, as well as venison and turtle meat, and finally drank a few sips of bird's nest soup, saying, "I'm full. I'm a little stuffed today. Their dinner can start now."
Zhou Wanwan slowly watched the young ladies eat; they didn't want to eat.
They couldn't tell what was patting their stomachs, so they had no choice but to open their mouths.
But as soon as they opened their mouths, the food was fed into their stomachs; they had no choice but to eat.
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "You can go now. To be honest, I'm quite touched by your spirit of not wasting food."
Shangguan Wan'er rushed out and vomited, with the others following closely behind.
Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "You really can't handle even the slightest praise. You're so hypocritical. How can you be so happy when you're making people eat?"
Su Zhixia was overjoyed and said:
"Zhou Wanwan, you are so cute, I really like you."
These guys were all tyrannical in the capital, but they never expected to get their comeuppance here.
However, you should also be careful; these people are very vengeful.
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:
"It's alright, I'm just worried they won't retaliate! Does Sister Su live here too?"
How about you come over to my place for breakfast tomorrow morning?
Su Zhixia blushed and said, "I'm so sorry, this is too much of a bother."
Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "It won't bother you. Food tastes better with more people."
"Okay, then I'll head back now!" Su Zhixia then turned and left.
Zhou Qingyan watched her retreating figure and said, "This young lady is quite easy to talk to."
Zhou Wanwan propped her head up and looked at him, asking, "Brother, what do you think of this girl?"
Zhou Qingyan said calmly, "Not bad. She's well-mannered and knows how to behave appropriately, much better than those rich young ladies from before."
Zhou Wanwan pursed her lips and said, "Oh, that's good."
Honestly, this girl is quite cute, and she and Zhou Qingyan do look like a married couple.
However, Zhou Wanwan didn't say much about it, after all, she didn't know if the two of them would hit it off.
She sighed. At only six years old, she was already acting as a matchmaker; this was putting too much pressure on her.
However, in ancient times, both men and women generally matured early. Zhou Wanwan looked at the Old Scholar Tree and said:
"Uncle Scholar Tree, why don't you go and inquire again? See if the girl's family is willing to accept her?"
"If the girl's family is unwilling, we can't force her."
The Old Scholar Tree looked at the two trees beside it and said:
"Go and ask around! What are you all standing around for? I have to stay here and protect Wanwan!"
I don't know what this family is thinking, but they're definitely up to no good. Something's bound to happen tonight.
