Chapter 600: Chapter 265: How to Dig Wild Vegetables_2

The other part was helping Boss Yan put up a large shed.

Forget it, I’ll go hang around with that kid Yan Fei to see what he’s up to today!

We signed such a contract yesterday, I don’t believe that this kid is still loafing around today acting like nothing’s happening...

The motorcycle was fast, in a cloud of dust, it arrived next to the large shed. The tiger there lifted its head to look at him, then continued to doze off. The dogs in the distance barked a few times. He greeted the workers who had already started, and then he saw Xu Xiaoyan carrying a large tea cup.

Seeing him coming over, she called out, "Uncle Ming, you’re here so early?"

Ma Yongming approached and could smell the sweet aroma from the girl’s tea cup. After being jostled on the motorcycle for a while, he felt hungry to the point of being weak. He licked his dry lips and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

The girl laughed, "You haven’t had breakfast, have you? Come in and have some water first! I’ll also make you some honey water. Yan Fei is cooking. He’s been fussing about making food since early in the morning. It’ll be ready soon."

Just as she finished speaking, Yan Fei came out with two plates: "Wife, quickly clean up the table. It’s time to eat. Uncle Ming, you’ve had breakfast, haven’t you? I didn’t expect to prepare your meal too..."

Ma Yongming looked at the two plates; one had scrambled eggs and the other was seasoned beef. He swallowed, and with thick skin, he said, "I haven’t eaten! I was too worried that they won’t be able to complete Boss Yan’s task efficiently, so I didn’t bother eating breakfast. Can’t Boss Yan even afford to cover a meal now?"

He directly walked into the kitchen, found a bowl and lifted the pot lid. He looked at the white rice porridge, smelling it made him feel hungry. Without being modest, he ladled himself a large bowl.

He didn’t care about it being hot, he tasted a spoonful first, it was sweet and delicious, and even had a hint of honey. He couldn’t help but taste more and get a mouthful of it. He turned and seized a large bite of cold shredded radish from the plate behind him.

Immediately he felt infinitely better. He appreciated the radish a lot more than usual, and was ready to get some more, when Yan Fei walked in: "Can’t you carry it over to eat? You’ve already started eating by yourself!"

Ma Yongming blushed immediately. Yan Fei alone wasn’t a problem, the key was that the girl also came in.

He quickly picked up his meal and the plate of shredded radish, chuckled, and walked out.

A moment later, the girl also came with a bowl of porridge and a small portion of salted vegetables. Yan Fei was right behind her, one hand carrying the porridge and the other a small pot. Even before he got close, the fragrance from the pot rushed over. It was really fragrant!

Actually, when he just arrived and was about to sit down, he smelled a large wave of fragrance coming from the kitchen, although he couldn’t smell what kind of meat it was, he was already itching to eat.

Yesterday evening he was busy talking and drank quite a bit of alcohol, but he didn’t eat much at all. He stayed up late, so he was genuinely hungry. He looked at the hot and vibrant meat dish, and as soon as the dish was placed on the table, he unceremoniously picked up his chopsticks.

"What kind of meat is this?" The meat entered his mouth, he chewed a few bites and swallowed, then he couldn’t help but ask. It was simply delicious! The mouthfeel was tender and smooth, even though it was morning when the taste should be light, it didn’t feel greasy in any way.

"Humph!" The girl hadn’t spoken yet when Yan Fei, who had just brought in a small dish of salted vegetables, snorted coldly and deliberately teased him," Care to guess...?"

Ma Yongming simply ignored him. Who cares what kind of meat it is, as long as it’s delicious.

After eating only two bites and waiting for the porridge to cool a bit before drinking it, he finally tasted the flavor and couldn’t help but ask, "Is the porridge made with honey?"

Without waiting for Yan Fei to speak, Xu Xiaoyan answered, "It’s not directly boiled with honey, honey is added after the porridge is cooked."

"Hmm hmm!" Ma Yongming nodded appreciatively. "You two are quite the food lovers! Drinking this is really sweet and pleasant."

After praising them, he picked up a piece of beef and commented, "Is this beef? How was the cow fed, that it tastes different than the beef you usually eat? No wonder it sells for 80 yuan per catty!"

"Humph..." Yan Fei was the one to answer again with another snort, "Unenlightened, it’s not beef, it’s dragon meat. You’ve never had it before, have you?"

"I didn’t ask you, whether it’s dragon meat or tiger meat, as long as it’s delicious." Ma Yongming was not upset at all. It’s really hard to be angry when you’re hungry and there is such a great meal in front of you! "It doesn’t seem to be beef, how can it be so delicious?"

He mumbled while eating, took several bites, and then tasted a radish, "This radish is delicious too, Xiao Xing, where did you buy these radishes?"

This time he learned, and directly asked the lady, so that the guy who had a ’grudge’ with him wouldn’t continue to mock him.

"I don’t know." The lady replied, "Yan Fei got all of it. There are still some in the soil pile behind our house. You can take some when you leave. I think they’re delicious, very sweet and crispy when eaten raw."

"Okay! Then, I won’t be polite!" Ma Yongming nodded unceremoniously and didn’t forget to remind her, "Don’t forget to tell me when I leave, I’ll take some back for my family to try..."

The salted vegetables were also extraordinarily delicious, the cucumber strips were crispy and felt even better than the fresh ones.

The meal was so satisfying that he didn’t want to move after being full. Thanks to Miss Xu Xiaoyan’s presence, Ma Yongming still managed to stand up and helped to carry two plates to the kitchen, amidst the polite comments of the lady.

As soon as he came out, he took Yan Fei’s broken rattan chair in the shed, sat on it and felt a bit drowsy due to overeating, so he just lay down like that.

In his semi-asleep state, he saw Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan whispering, each one carrying a basket, he quickly got up and shouted, "What are you two busy going to do?"

"We are going to dig up some wild vegetables. Just take a rest, Uncle Ming! We will make dumplings with wild vegetables for lunch..." Xu Xiaoyan sweetly laughed and told him.

"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Ma Yongming lay back down.

As soon as his back hit the rattan chair, he jumped up instantly, rushed out of the shed, and shouted indignantly at the two who were almost out of sight, "Don’t you have anything else to do? How can you go dig up wild vegetables?"

"Have you forgotten something?" Upon hearing Ma Yongming’s question, Miss Xu Xiaoyan was noticeably puzzled, and turned her head to ask Yan Fei.

"No!" Yan Fei was equally bemused.

"No, I mean... didn’t you sign such... hey... nevermind, you two go!" Seeing the perplexed expressions on their faces, Ma Yongming gave a reminder and, noticing that the other workers were within earshot, didn’t continue speaking.

"Oh!" Since Boss Ma’s voice was so low, Miss Xu Xiaoyan probably didn’t hear him, she just casually agreed and continued to head to the distant fields with Yan Fei.

Ma Yongming stood dumbfounded at the entrance of the shed, mumbling to himself, "How can you just go and dig up wild vegetables? After signing such a huge contract, you should be rushing to prepare to buy and raise cattle, instead you’re actually going to dig up wild vegetables..."

Returning to the shed, he continued to lie down and could still see the two figures in the distance, even though it was blurry, Boss Ma knew it was them.

He couldn’t help but continue mumbling to himself, in a half-asleep state, his fatigue finally overcame him, and he fell asleep...

When he woke up, he wasn’t sure of the time, but those two had already returned and were squatting at the door, cleaning the wild vegetables!

I simply don’t believe that the two of you aren’t taking yesterday’s contract seriously, you’re not even anxious now...

Ma Yongming continued to lie there, staring at the two people!

It wasn’t until the two of them finished cleaning the vegetables and had just gone inside for a while, that he heard the sound of dumpling fillings being chopped in the kitchen, more intense than the sound of rain hitting the shed. He finally started to feel uneasy— did the two of them really not take the one and a half million monthly contract to heart?

Heh! I just can’t believe this!
