Chapter 238: Eat Meat Patties
Following Master Chen's order, the entire team slowly stopped. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with tiredness yet anticipation. Some even sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
Master Chen then instructed his accompanying servants, "Go and give everyone a pork-filled scallion pancake and a cucumber."
The servants immediately took action, took out scallion pancakes and cucumbers from the cart, and distributed them to everyone in an orderly manner.
"Don't worry, everyone will have a share!" the servants said as they distributed the food.
The faces of those who received the food immediately blossomed with satisfied smiles. Some of them couldn't wait to take a bite of the scallion pancake, making a "crunching" sound in their mouths. As they ate, they kept praising it: "This scallion pancake is so delicious!"
"Oh, I didn't expect that I would have meat patties to eat on this trip!" A man said with surprise, his eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief on his face.
"That's right! This meat pie is so delicious!" another person echoed, chewing it with big mouthfuls.
"And this cucumber is also very refreshing!" someone else said loudly, and then took a bite of the crisp cucumber. With a "crunch", the juice overflowed in his mouth.
"We are so lucky. Following Master Chen out, we can not only make money, but also enjoy such delicious food." A young man said with a smile, with some oil stains from the meat pie on the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, yes. We never imagined that we could receive such treatment before." Everyone nodded and kept praising Mr. Chen.
Guangzong and Yaozu ate the meat patties with big mouthfuls, their hearts filled with joy.
Guangzong thought to himself: This meat pie is so delicious! In the past, I could only eat a little meat during the Chinese New Year at home. I didn’t expect that I could eat such delicious meat pie when I followed the team this time.
Yaozu was secretly glad: "It seems that Mom was right to let us follow the group. I used to think it was hard and dangerous outside and was reluctant to go out. Now it seems that just by following the group, I can get some meat. It's better than staying at home and eating black flour paste."
Chen Yonggui sat under the tree and took the cake and cucumber respectfully handed to him by his servant. He first examined the cake in his hand, then took a bite. The aroma of the cake instantly filled his mouth and nose.
Mr. Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and he thought to himself: Xiuying is really generous. Most people wouldn't be willing to put so much meat in the pancakes, and make pancakes for so many people, but she is not stingy at all.
Cooperating with such a generous person, I'm sure the business will be good in the future. If only Zexi could have a mother like this...
Bah, bah, bah, bah... Don't let your imagination run wild...
Chen Yonggui slapped his mouth hard and continued to eat the cake, which scared the housekeeper beside him.
Chen Yonggui was leisurely eating a piece of bread when he suddenly heard a loud commotion coming from the end of the team. He frowned slightly, put down his food, and said to the steward beside him, "Go, go and see what's going on. Don't disturb the peace of the team."
The butler took the order and walked quickly towards the end of the team.
After arriving at the end, the housekeeper took a closer look and found that it was Xiuying's two nephews Guangzong and Yaozu who were making trouble because they still wanted to eat meat patties. They started arguing with Wang Dali, who was in charge of looking after the big pancakes.
Guangzong and Yaozu blushed and shouted at the top of their lungs, while Wang Dali also looked helpless and angry.
The butler stepped forward and shouted, "Stop arguing!" The three of them quieted down temporarily after hearing the butler's voice.
Wang Dali hurriedly explained to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper Chen, these two guys are adamant. We only have one meat pie per meal, and that's the rule we set before, but they insist on eating more."
Wang Dali secretly complained in his heart: These two boys are really a worry, just like their unreasonable and petty-minded mother! They only know how to make trouble on weekdays, and throw tantrums when they are not satisfied.
The more Wang Dali thought about it, the angrier he became. Their mother was the same. She would rush to get any benefit and would not suffer any loss.
His eyes revealed deep disgust and dissatisfaction.
This family is full of difficult people. I don’t know how Xiuying could have such relatives.
Wang Dali shook his head helplessly. They dared to make such a fuss in the team today. They really thought this was their own home!
"Hmph, I really hope I won't encounter such a thing again in the future. Dealing with them is simply torture." Wang Dali said angrily, glaring fiercely at Guangzong and Yaozu.
Guangzong grumbled, "We are so hungry, one piece is not enough."
One piece is not enough! I need to eat at least three or four of these delicious meat patties to make it worthwhile. I have come such a long way.
The housekeeper said seriously, "This is a unified arrangement. No one can make an exception. Be honest!"
After saying that, the butler turned around and walked back to report the situation to Mr. Chen.
After listening to the housekeeper's report and learning the whole story, Chen Yonggui sighed helplessly. A look of annoyance appeared on his face, and his brows were furrowed.
He said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "I really don't know how Xiuying could have such a nephew. He is simply lawless." Mr. Chen shook his head as he spoke.
"As the saying goes, you will bear what you sow. It seems Xiuying's deceased husband was no good either. Fortunately, he's dead, otherwise who knows how much trouble he would have caused."
Chen Yonggui's eyes revealed a hint of disdain. His expression became more and more gloomy, as if he was full of disgust for Xiuying's marriage.
How could such a good woman marry into such a family? What a pity!
"Go, housekeeper, give those two ungrateful fellows some steamed buns and tell them to quiet down," Chen Yonggui ordered. "And warn them that if they make trouble again, I'll throw them out to feed the wolves!"
Chen Yonggui's voice was stern and cold, with unquestionable majesty.
The housekeeper quickly responded, "Yes, sir, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, the butler hurriedly took a steamed bun and turned to walk towards Guangzong and Yaozu.
Steward Chen had been with Chen Yonggui for many years and knew his temper very well. At this moment, he could clearly sense from Chen Yonggui's expression and tone that he was truly angry.
Before, Butler Chen had thought that Guangzong and Yaozu were Xiuying's nephews, so he had to give Xiuying some face and might be cautious in dealing with them.
But now that he knew the master's attitude towards the two, Butler Chen suddenly felt relieved and felt that the matter would be easier to handle. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back.
"Master is really angry this time. I have to handle this matter properly. I can't let these two ignorant brats cause trouble again."
