Before Lin Xiaoyue could reply, Zhou Shi had already walked towards a hawker selling chickens and ducks not far away.

“Let’s go, Miss. There are eggs over there. We can buy some back too.” Zhao Shanshan led the horse forward and smiled at Lin Xiaoyue.

The taste of braised eggs was also excellent.

Every time they cooked braised vegetables, she would ask her mother and sister-in-law to make some braised eggs. Everyone loved it.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“This one, this one, and that one! Please weigh all of them!” Zhou Shi was already choosing the chickens.

“Alright!”

The peddler responded and was just about to catch the chicken when Zhou Shi looked at the duck at the side.

“I want three ducks too.”

Lin Xiaoyue was shocked and quickly stopped Zhou Shi.

“Enough, Zhou Shi. We still have to buy geese later. There’s no need for so many chickens and ducks.”

They were cooking for themselves, not setting up a stall. Could they finish all of them?

The joy on the peddler’s face disappeared. He stopped catching the chickens and looked at Zhou Shi.

“Continue. First, weigh the three chickens I have chosen.” Zhou Shi said to the peddler.

Then, she looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“Aiya, it’s not that many! I’ve thought it through. I want to buy three of each.

i’ll give some to my father, some for me and the rest for you and your family.” Zhou Shi said as she patted Lin Xiaoyue’s arm.

“In this weather, the braised meat won’t go bad even after three to four days. Also, let’s split this among the three families. If we are eating as much as we want want, I think it’ll be difficult for it to last even two days.”

There were more than ten people in her parent’s house.

As for the Liu family, if all of them were present, there would be a lot of them.

In her house, it’s just her and her husband. However, they ate a lot. As the head of the household, he could eat as much as three people could.

Therefore, this was really nothing.

Lin Xiaoyue looked embarrassed.

It seemed to make sense.

It was just the food wouldn’t be fresh.

However, Zhou Shi did not go to Daishi Village every day, so they couldn’t cook for her every day.

Her arrangement seemed understandable.

“Alright, then we’ll buy three each. We’ll go back after this.” Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue agreed.

However, other than the chickens, ducks, and geese, she didn’t allow the Zhou Shi to buy more.

“Deal!” Zhou Shi immediately replied with a smile.

Then, she chose three ducks from the peddler.

The chickens and ducks were all weighed and paid. Zhou Shi asked the peddler to help her deliver the chickens and ducks to the carriage.

Then, Zhou Shi went to find a goose seller.

Lin Xiaoyue and Zhao Shanshan followed her.

When Zhou Shi finally bought the geese, the three of them got on the carriage and rode back to Daishi Village.

Chen Shi and Ma Shi received a large basket of pig offals and a total of nine chickens, ducks, and geese. They were both somewhat shocked.

Just cleaning them would probably take them half a day.

Zhou Shi was a little embarrassed and took out some money from her purse.

She stuffed some into Chen Shi and Ma Shi’s hands.

“I am taking most of them with me. Thank you for the effort.”

Chen Shi and Ma Shi didn’t dare to take it, only saying that it was their job.

Since they refused to accept it, Zhou Shi looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

The two of them did all the kitchen work.

Lin Xiaouyue had already told her that if she wanted to eat braised pork, she could ask these two for help.

If they didn’t accept the money, how could she keep asking them to cook for her?

Lin Xiaoyue was amused.

“Since she gave it to you, just accept it. Make sure you cook them well.” She said to Chen Shi and Ma Shi.

Chen Shi and Ma Shi only received 1 tael of silver each month. Although the two of them usually did not spend much, it’s difficult for them to save money.

Cleaning and braising required a lot of effort, and it did increase the workload of the two of them. It was not unreasonable to give them some money.

“Then, thank you, Young Madam.” Miss Chen accepted the call.

“Thank you, Young Madam.” Ma Shi hurriedly followed.

Zhou Shi smiled. “You’re welcome. Just help me make the braised meat.”

“Yes, Madam!” Chen Shi and Ma Shi bowed to Zhou Shi.

After Lin Xiaoyue and Zhou Shi left, Chen Shi lowered her head and looked at the money in her hand.

Young Madam was really generous. She actually rewarded her with 50 wen. This was half a month’s worth of her monthly salary..
