章節 75: Chapter 43 Eating Privately_1

Lian Manman and Wu Lang exchanged glances, both finding it very strange. They had been working in the fields, and although it was supposed to be Lady Zhou and Lian Xiuxiu cooking at home, they would usually wait until they returned, leaving the cooking to Lady Zhang and Lady Zhao. Even if Lady Zhou was to cook, it was still too early for that.

A thought struck Lian Manman, and she signaled Wu Lang with her eyes. Without a word, they both deliberately lightened their steps and hurried towards the Upper Room.

They soon heard the laughter of Lian Xiuxiu.

As Lian Manman reached the doorway of the Upper Room, she burst through the front door and saw Lian Xiuxiu tending the fire below the stove with Lady Chiang holding a spatula, flipping the oilcakes in the iron pan. The oilcakes were white, clearly made from refined flour, one side already fried to a golden brown from the generous amount of oil, which bubbled and sizzled away.
