The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 385 Brother, I Like You 12

Chao Yao took a few deep breaths and looked at Wu Shier. If it wasn't because she was really the original body's mother, she would have wanted to cripple her right now.

She had been a mother for many lifetimes and had never thought that she could treat a child like this.

What did the child do wrong?

She pushed Wu Shier out. If she continued to look at this woman, she didn't know what she would do.

After traveling to this world, Chao Yao felt that his temperament had become somewhat irritable and cold.

I don’t know if it’s because of the original body’s lingering emotions or for some other reason, but Chao Yao can feel the original body’s inner collapse, anger, and grievance.

These emotions sometimes make her feel suffocated and she wants to vent them anytime and anywhere.

"You bastard! When did you dare to treat me like this? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the young master? I'll show you that as long as I'm here, you won't have a good life! Lowly blood like you should live like a rat in the gutter!"

Turning her back to Chao Yao, she kept saying to herself: "This is my original mother, this is my original mother..."

Wu Shier lost face and didn't get anything good out of it, so he directly ordered the maids outside the door: "Watch Miss Chao carefully, don't give her a drop of water or any food! I want to see how long her bitch can hold out!"

"Yes, Madam Wu."

Wu Shier retreated with a group of maids and servants, and soon more than twenty guards surrounded Chao Yao's yard.

All the maids and old women that the housekeeper had arranged for Chao Yao to stay in the ear room, and they dared not come out without orders from above.

Chao Yao sneered. She said that if she didn't let me eat, I wouldn't eat?

How ridiculous!

Is she the kind of person who is obedient?

You know what, she was really hungry.

After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, although I had been eating various things, I didn’t have a good dinner at night.

According to the original body's memory, in this era people did not eat after noon and there was no main meal in the evening.

No wonder she's a little hungry now.

Chao Yao's spiritual sense explored the Guanyue Courtyard, avoiding everyone's sight and coming to the big kitchen.

The big kitchen is located on the east side of the mansion, next to the northwest corner of the back garden. It is a spacious, bright and lively place.

The moonlight shines through the carved wooden windows, sprinkling on the bluestone floor in patches, interweaving with the dancing fire on the stove to create a warm and vivid picture.

The air is filled with the aroma of various ingredients, including the unique mellow fragrance of freshly cooked rice, the richness of broth cooked to perfect doneness, and the freshness of various vegetables, fruits and melons, making people swallow their saliva involuntarily.

It’s really strange. There’s no major celebration today, so why is the kitchen so lively?

In the kitchen, rows of tall copper stoves are arranged neatly, and on each stove there is a large iron pot. Some are bubbling with dishes, while others are used to steam snacks.

Several cooks and waiters dressed in coarse clothes were busy shuttling back and forth, some were waving spatulas to stir-fry the dishes in the pot, while others were carefully cutting and preparing fresh ingredients to prepare the next dish.

Their faces are filled with concentration and enthusiasm, as if every dish is a work of art they have carefully crafted.

In the corner, there are various kinds of food piled up, including fresh vegetables just picked from the fields, carefully selected meat and seafood, as well as a variety of dried goods and seasonings.

These ingredients are neatly arranged on wooden racks or in bamboo baskets. They are colorful and dazzling, demonstrating the wealth and sophistication of this big family.

In a corner of the kitchen, there is a large wooden table covered with white cloth, on which are placed various exquisite tableware and food boxes, which are obviously meals prepared for each room in the mansion.

Next to them, an elderly cook was carefully checking the presentation and pairing of each meal to ensure that each dish was presented in its best form.

Chao Yao's spiritual consciousness silently penetrated the noise of the kitchen, wandering among the crowd like a ghost, and finally stopped on the pile of tempting ingredients.

She smiled slightly, already having a plan in mind.

With just a slight wave of her hand, dozens of seemingly ordinary but nutritious ingredients disappeared silently from the spot, and when they reappeared, they were already in the space she carried with her.

Although he didn't know what happened in the Ruo family today that made the kitchen still working so late, this didn't stop Chao Yao from taking advantage of the situation.

After doing all this, Chao Yao returned quietly to his own Moon Viewing Courtyard.

After picking out a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a soup from the space, Chao Yao started eating right away.

Perhaps the taste of the food was too overbearing. Chao Yao had eaten half of it when Liuxiang, one of the maids assigned to her by the housekeeper, pushed the door and walked in.

Chao Yao frowned, "Is this the rule of the Ruo family? When entering the master's room, you don't need to inform first, but just push the door open and walk in?"

Liuxiang rolled her eyes. In their eyes, Chaoyao was not even their master.

She's just a possible concubine in the future.

What is a Tongfang?

He is just a servant of a higher level than these maids.

We are all slaves, what is there to be proud of?

"Madam Wu has said that Miss Chao cannot eat anything today. Where does the food you are eating come from? I will definitely report this to Madam Wu. As for my rules, Miss Chao cannot control that."

Chao Yao sneered. It was really ridiculous. Her today was arranged by Ruo Fufeng himself, but she was still treated like this.

So what about the original body?

She has never been taken care of before, so what kind of treatment is this?

Anyone can come up and step on her. Do they really think she is a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied?

She slowly put one of the plates of meat aside and threw the empty plate directly on Liuxiang.

Food should not be wasted, it is a shameful act.

"what!"

Liuxiang screamed in pain when she was hit by the plate. She really didn't expect Chaoyao to take direct action.

"How dare you abandon me? Just wait, I'm going to tell Madam Wu right now, let's see how she'll deal with you!"

After saying that, Liuxiang ran out directly.

While running, he was wiping his tears and pretending to cry.

This action quickly attracted the attention of others.

The guards at the door saw this and inquired about the situation. They learned that Chao Yao had actually obtained the food and ate it right under their noses. This was a slap in the face.

There were dozens of them guarding a yard, but someone just slipped away like that?

The key is to bring food in.

The head guard was a little panicked, as this was a matter of whether he was doing his job well and responsibly in guarding the yard.
