Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was ten past twelve when Nian Junting came back, and the bright, broad house was filled with the smell of stir-fried shredded potatoes. The couple of hours he spent at hospital had put him a bad mood and hunger, so he asked without thinking, “Sister Lan, did you make shred potatoes with vinegar sauce today? It smells good…”
As Steward Wu was pus.h.i.+ng him into the dining room, he saw Luosang before he finished asking the question. She was sitting by a small table near the window while having her own meal. He saw a few potato shreds in her slightly opened mouth.
“Sister Lan, didn’t I tell you that this woman can only have plain rice and cabbage?” He narrowed his eyes and asked with a very unfriendly voice.
‘She’s eating again. This woman knows nothing but to eat’ he thought.
This morning, she lied to him and went to eat beef rice noodles, and now she’s eating shred potatoes with vinegar sauce.
‘She’s like some kind of animal.’
Luosang hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth. She wanted to explain, but before she could, Sister Lan came out of the kitchen with two dishes in her hands and said, “Young Master, I only made her plain rice and cabbage. The potato shred and Mapo tofu she’s having were bought with her own money, and she cooked them herself as well.”
A tense atmosphere immediately developed in the dining room, and Nian Junting’s face suddenly turned frosty.
Even Steward Wu felt embarra.s.sed for his Young Master.
He knew that the Young Master was trying to take this opportunity to vent his anger at Luosang, because she went to eat beef rice noodles this morning without letting him know, but it unexpectedly blew up in his face.
As a carer of Young Master Nian, Luosang now needed to buy and cook her own food – in the Young Master’s eyes, shredded potatoes and Mapo tofu were too good for her.
‘Young Master, you’re really going too far,’ thought Steward Wu.
