My Fantastic Chef Wife

277. No One

Translator: Fan Translation Studio

Jin Xiaoyu took Little Xun over and saw twenty to thirty people sitting around the big table inside. She somewhat was not accustomed to this situation.

She had never dined with so many people.

Xiao Baoshan and Ye Xiaoxian were also there. Both were sitting very far away and there were more than ten people between them. They seemed like strangers to each other.

Out of politeness, as well as the need to show respect to Li Chengju, everyone still greeted Jin Xiaoyu politely, letting her take it easy and feel free to enjoy the food.

Jin Xiaoyu was not a bit reserved, but too generous. She especially clipped her favorite dishes and even reached over with her chopsticks to refill Little Xun’s bowl.

She was very talkative, asking others where so much beef jerky, cotton and milk products would sell.

Squire Liu told her that they had a transport camel team that could go to beihui city and go back and forth once a month.

Jin Xiaoyu was so interested in this that asked who could go along. She also mentioned that she used to live in the desert and was very familiar with the surroundings. So she wanted to go there once with the team.

Squire Liu said, “We have a fixed number of people now. The team leader is the tribal chief Tarico, other members are his brother, Wang Wen, Wenwu, etc. However, little Ye and Baozhu had been there before. I heard that the journey was very tough.”

Jin Xiaoyu smiled while eating, “I like challenging hard work.”

Jin Xiaoyu asked them again, “Why are so many people still eating together? Isn’t it much better for each family to eat their own?”

Squire Liu smiled and said, “Our bazaar is small. If we are separated, each family has to send someone out to buy food. Wouldn’t it be better if we buy and do it together?” Furthermore, we are all working together now, and the schedule is unified. It looks like a family that we eat together after finish our work.”

Jin Xiaoyu understood.

Because of her generosity and frankness, she was actually integrated into the two families soon.

After meal, Little Xun would play with Baoxue and Baoyang for a while, while Jin Xiaoyu washed her face and wiped her body with a group of women.

......

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t like to talk to Jin Xiaoyu, but Jin Xiaoyu liked to talk to her.

Jin Xiaoyu could see that Ye Xiaoxian had a high status here. Everyone listened to her. Although she knew nothing about fighting skill and didn’t look fierce, she had a tough personality, so It’s easy to make others convinced over time.

Jin Xiaoyu would ask Ye Xiaoxian if she had any questions.

At first, Ye Xiaoxian ignored her and thought Jin Xiaoyu was too heartless. Their relationship should be incompatible as fire and water, why Jin Xiaoyu didn’t understand it?

But after getting annoyed by being asked many times, she got used to it.

On one hand, Jin Xiaoyu was thick-skinned, and on the other hand, she had high EQ and was generous. Whatever good things she had, she would generously share with other women. These women who disliked her at first gradually changed their attitude towards her.

However, Jin Xiaoyu had a principle that she would never talk to Xiao Baoshan. Every time she saw him, she either avoided it or turned around to leave.

That day, Jin Xiaoyu saw Ye Xiaoxian was making dairy and felt interested, and then she came over to help her for a while.

“Is this milk or goat’s milk?” Jin Xiaoyu pointed at the semi-finished piece of milk and asked.

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t raise her head. “Just try it yourself.”

Jin Xiaoyu took a piece and tasted it, then said, “Full of mutton, I guess it’s goat’s milk. Would anyone eat this kind of things when they were sold to Zhongyuan area?”

“Why do I bother to make it if no one else eats it?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.

Ye Xiaoxian had always talked harshly to her like that, but Jin Xiaoyu was already satisfied as long as she was willing to talk to Jin Xiaoyu.

The milk must be boiled first and poured into a bucket after that.

“Let me help you.” Jin Xiaoyu said, “It’s such a big pot. Don’t get burned.”

Ye Xiaoxian asked her to help. They carried one end and poured the burnt milk into the bucket.

“What are you doing next?”

“When the milk is cold, then filter,” Ye Xiaoxian said.

She could make the milk cake while waiting for the milk to turn cold.

Jin Xiaoyu followed her again, intending to help.

At this moment, Xiao Baoshan happened to draw water. Jin Xiaoyu immediately stepped aside.

Xiao Baoshan was coming here specially for Ye Xiaoxian. He had worked here for so long that they had a tacit understanding towards each other. After the water was drawn, half was poured into the pot for Ye Xiaoxian to wash the pot while the other half was left for her to boil another pot of milk.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxian saw Xiao Baoshan came, Jin Xiaoyu immediately stepped aside. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Xiao Baoshan ignored Jin Xiaoyu and left with an empty bucket after pouring water.

Jin Xiaoyu came back and would help Ye Xiaoxian make the milk cake.

Ye Xiaoxian couldn’t help asking, “Why do you hide every time you see Xiao Baoshan?”

Jin Xiaoyu smiled. “What else can I do? I eat your food and live in your yurt. If I keep pestering Xiao Baoshan, wouldn’t I become a shameless slut?”

Ye Xiaoxian asked, “Are you just afraid of what others say about you? What about your own thoughts? Don’t you like him anymore?”

“Why do I like him?” In the past, I didn’t know that he had a wife, but now I know, why would I keep pestering him to piss you off again? Are you two still having a fight because of me?

Ye Xiaoxian sneered, “It’s not your fault. It was his lack of composure that made him unable to hold himself in front of a big beauty.”

“I forced him, alright?” He didn’t remember anything but only remembered a woman cooking for him in his dream. I guessed that woman was you. However, I saw him being stupid, easy to bully, and had no inordinate ambitions towards me. I thought he should be a good man, so I forced him to marry me.”

“Force?” Ye Xiaoxian was confused and couldn’t help asking.

“Of course, I lied to him. Once he drank, I took off his clothes when he was drunk. He thought that he took my virginity, so he agreed to marry me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been nice to me.”

The milk slice was suddenly turned into a milk ball in Ye Xiaoxian’s hand.

“You two hadn’t... done it?”

“Of course not. He didn’t want to. No matter how I seduced him, he said that he would not do that kind of thing unless we got married. I’ve never seen such a man of determination.”

Jin Xiaoyu added, “You can’t have been kept a distance with him because of this, right? Hey, I’m telling you, there’s no need. If he’s really a flirtatious person or greedy for my beauty, I wouldn’t have liked him either. And I don’t like him anymore, so you can have him wholeheartedly.”

Ye Xiaoxian said angrily, “I’m not that into him.”

“Don’t say it too early. If you two don’t have a closer relationship, he might really run away.”

“I don’t care!” Ye Xiaoxian said.

Jin Xiaoyu gave up persuading her. She only said, “It’s all up to you. I’ve said everything that should be said anyway.”

......

At night.

Ye Xiaoxian went to the toilet. When she came back, she subconsciously glanced at the yurt of Xiao Baoshan.

The oil lamp was still on.

The last time the camel team went out, Xiao Baoshan asked Wang Wen and Wang Wu to help buy some books. Wang Wen and Wang Wu bought a large pile of books out of gratitude.

Xiao Baoshan was working during the day and studying under the light at night.

Now that his conditions were better, he was not afraid of wasting lamp-oil. He often read until midnight and got up to work the next morning.

In short, he seemed to have endless energy.
