Chapter 591: Chapter 591 Lady He’s Roast Duck(7)_1

Thus, after everything, the two sisters were reduced to begging from place to place. They were driven out, beaten, and insulted until they met Cai Wei, who let them live the peaceful and worry-free life they have now!

After hearing the sisters’ story, Cai Wei felt distressed. She was both heartbroken for the young girl who had met a tragic death and sympathetic towards the experiences of the sisters. The brutal death of their older sister in front of them must have been a huge blow to their young hearts, and she feared that they would never be able to escape the shadow of the tragedy in their lifetime...

"The food is here!"

The shop assistant called out, bringing in a large tray. He placed the roast duck, shredded scallions, sweet flour sauce, and thin lotus leaf cakes neatly on the table from the tray.

The roast duck was oozing with oil, golden, and crispy on the outside yet tender inside. The meat was sliced neatly, piled on a plate. Thinly cut scallions, sweet flour sauce, and thin lotus leaf cakes were placed next to the roast duck, looking tantalizing.

Originally, Dun Zhu’s mood was heavy as they continued to discuss their past, but the sight of the fragrant roast duck immediately lifted her spirits, casting her sorrow beyond the ninth sky.

"Come on, give it a try!"

After beckoning, Cai Wei picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of lotus leaf cake and put it on her plate, smeared some sauce, sprinkled some scallions, placed a piece of crispy, tender duck meat on it, rolled it up, and took a bite. It was delicious and left a long aftertaste.

Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu followed Cai Wei’s lead, grabbing a cake, applying the sauce, sprinkling scallions, placing meat, and then rolling it up to eat!

There was no doubt that the food chosen by Miss Cai Wei was incomparably delicious. Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu had never tasted something so delectable before and couldn’t help but dig in.

The sisters had large appetites and ate quickly. In no time, they had consumed more than half of the two plates of roast duck. Thankfully, the marinated duck feet, braised duck gizzard, cold mixed vegetables, braised duck intestines, and baked duck liver they ordered arrived just in time to keep them going.

Halfway through the meal, the shop assistant brought up the roast duck soup. In the milky duck bone soup, the chopped cilantro and red chili oil floated on the surface. It looked delicious and one sip tasted warm and aromatic, leaving the diner wanting more.

The meal cost two taels of silver.

Although it was a bit expensive, Cai Wei thought it was worth it. She thought to herself that if this restaurant were located in the capital, a meal like this would undoubtedly cost at least ten to eight taels of silver.

With this in mind, she couldn’t help but ask Dan Zhu and Dun Zhu, "Would you sisters like to learn how to prepare roast duck?"

Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu, both being simple-minded and not suitable for serving people, their best option would be to learn a craft.

"We would love to!"

Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu replied simultaneously.

"Excellent!"

Cai Wei said happily, "I will arrange for you to learn this craft, but you will have to work for me for five years after you learn it. I will pay you appropriate wages. After five years, you can choose to continue working for me or go out on your own. No matter what you choose, I will support you!"

Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu readily agreed.

They didn’t act like those pretentious maids who would say things like ’Miss, we can’t bear to leave you’ or ’Miss, please don’t send us away.’ Hearing Cai Wei’s arrangement and knowing they could master a craft that would secure their future, they were delighted.
