Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 204

Since there was one more person in the kitchen, Gu Yin felt a lot more comfortable – the people around the Emperor were too pampered. The firewood and water in the water tank in the mansion got less every day. Although someone would bring some every day, it was only enough for her to cook for the Emperor. She also ate and drank there. She had to rely on herself to chop wood and carry water, and it was becoming more inconvenient.

Since the young man named Bench was there. He was good at chopping wood, fetching water, and sweeping the courtyard. He was obviously used to those rough jobs.

The next day, Gu Yin made Yanpi wontons again, and the Emperor ate well, but he would not order the same food twice in a short period of time, so Eunuch Shangshan originally took the young man away—— he felt that It would be too shabby to put such a person in the Emperor’s pantry.

But later, seeing that the young man was really able to work, Gu Yin also stuffed a few pumpkin seeds to help him intercede, and Eunuch Shangshan left him be.

Although an “inmate” had been added, the life in prison had not changed, and Gu Yin’s anxiety was really hard to hide.

The manifestation of her anxiety was that she had become more talkative.

“Bench, you can’t brush the pan like this. If you brush off the oil on the surface, it would rust.”

“Bench, stop chopping wood, it’s enough for several days.”

“Bench, why are you going out to fetch water again? There is enough water, you can rest.”

Fortunately, the young man was deaf, and he was still busy in and out, as if he had no time to spare. Moreover, the other party would not be impatient when he saw Gu Yin’s mouth opening and closing.

Of course, Gu Yin didn’t really want to tell him anything, just wanted to say something. So most of the time she hurriedly waved her hand and asked him to do his own thing, and when he turned around, she continued to meditate.

Sometimes she would laugh when she thought of it. Usually, she occasionally felt that her mother-in-law was a little nagging, but for the time she was ten times more nagging than her mother-in-law.

It was also because Bench couldn’t hear it. If it was someone else, he would think she was crazy.

Of course, what comforted her the most was the young man’s love for food.

It was not that he devoured it so badly. When he ate the food she made, he ate it really deliciously.

It was no worse than the later generations of food and broadcast bloggers. Every time they took a bite, there would be an expression of unpretentious, admiration and enjoyment on their face.

Moreover, Gu Yin also found that his appetite was not small, and he could eat three bowls of hand-made noodles in one go. She liked what he could eat, and cooking for such people was her original intention as a cook.

After another three days, the atmosphere in the mansion changed.

Whether it was the eunuchs or the guards, they all loosened up from the state of high tension.

In particular, some of the guards were of noble birth, and many of them were playboys. They soon revealed their true colors. When they were not on duty, they ran to the big kitchen and asked Gu Yin to cook for them. They didn’t leave after eating, but gathered in the small yard to drink and gamble.

Gu Yin could occasionally hear some outside things from their mouths.

“That damned chaotic thief, we have a home and can’t go back. We have to settle in this place where birds don’t shit. If there is a chance to meet, I will look at General Shura with a sword!”

“That’s right, when we fight back to the capital in the future, I will cut off the heads of the servant and the anti-Emperor, and hang them on the city wall!”

“Hey, when will we be able to return to the capital? This town is so small, and if I stay in this nest, my martial arts will be wasted!”

“I want to go back so much! I’m drunk now!”

Accompanied by the voice, there was a very loud sound of rolling dice.

Gu Yin was cooking food for those uncles, and couldn’t help but snort.

Those people still despise the town, so why come? Hanshan Town couldn’t tolerate those great Bodhisattvas!

The guards outside started drinking, changing their glasses, and the noise became louder and louder.

“Bench, do you know who is the general they are talking about?”

The young man was sitting in front of the stove making a fire, naturally he couldn’t give any reaction.

Gu Yin was standing by the pot cooking vegetables, without looking at him, she muttered softly to herself, “I heard that he is extremely powerful and can tear apart people by hand. I only know how to tear cabbage and chicken by hand.” 

The young man suddenly turned his face, and his body trembled slightly.

It happened that Gu Yin finished cooking a hot dish and asked him what happened.

He turned his head and made a coughing sound.

“Then be careful.” After Gu Yin finished speaking, she went out with the dishes.

When the hot dish was on the table, the guards didn’t move their chopsticks. Instead, someone reached out, grabbed Gu Yin and said, “Little lady, come and have a drink with the young master!”
