Transmigration: The Peasant Gourmet Chef (穿越之农妇食娘)

Chapter 6 - Shulin (2)

Li Hehua still felt hungry after eating steamed buns. It was as if the buns has no effect and even made her hungrier. She still want to eat!

The original owner's appetite is just so big. The steamed buns is probably just enough for her to grind it between her teeth, but she can't condone to her current appetite.
　　
Li Hehua patted her fat belly hard, "I can't eat anymore! I need to lose weight!"

She put away the remaining mantou, planning to save it at night. Li Hehua got up, close the door of the woodshed and lay down. She intends to rest for a while.

In order to divert her attention from hunger, she began to think about making money.

How is she going to earn money in the end? The type that didn't cost money.

(T/N: doesn't need capital or doesn't cost much.)

After thinking for a while, she finally thought of a way. Maybe cooking for others would be a way to earn money.
　　
However, she doesn't really want to become a chef in a restaurant. Firstly, she might not be able to find a restaurant that recruits chefs. Secondly, restaurants are only available in town. If she became a restaurant chef, she will need to leave early and return late everyday. It is estimated that it will be dawn when she return to the village. Lastly, there is no way to make money immediately as a cook. It will be at least 1 month to get some. It is not suitable for her who has an urgent need of money now.
　　
So if being a cook is impossible, she can cook privately for others. The pay will be given per visit.
　　
At this time, it seems people hold banquets at home when someone get married or died, especially the villagers. They invite people to cook for the banquet. They didn't need the chef to prepare anything. It's already good as long as the chef went and cook.

Lu Hehua's eyes lit up. She felt that this method is very suitable. Her craftsmanship is definitely good. As long as someone is willing to invite her, she's confident that the host will be satisfied.
　　
So the question now is, where is she going to find someone who needs people to cook for a banquet?

It's definitely not possible in this village. Even if someone really wants to find a cook, they won't be willing to use her, she may even get beaten. She has to go to another village, preferably a village where no one knows her.

She can go to Shiliba Village tomorrow and inquire. If someone wants to have a wedding, she can recommend herself.

Thinking of a way to live, Li Hehua suddenly felt much relaxed and her hope in life was a little higher. The corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily and she slowly fell asleep.

While she was sleeping, Zhang Tieshan brought Zhang Qingshan back from the field.  Looking at the quiet home, Zhang Qingshan said to his brother: "I guess mother took Shulin to sleep. Mother has the habit of taking naps. "

Zhang Tieshan put down the hoe in his hand and walked slowly to the door of the east wing. He opened the door genty and took a look inside, only to find that there was only the shadow of her mother, and Shulin was nowhere to be seen.

What about Shulin?

Zhang Tieshan walked in and found that there was indeed no shadow of Shulin on the bed. He hurried out of the kitchen and went to his own room to check but still nothing. He went to Qingshan's room again, but there was still no shadow of the little guy.

Zhang Tieshan became anxious.

Zhang Qingshan immediately said: "Brother, let's take a look at the kitchen. Shulin likes to hide in places where no one goes."

Zhang Tieshan strode towards the kitchen after hearing this, and he really saw Zhang Shulin sitting quietly in the corner of the kitchen.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Qingshan hurriedly called out, "Shulin, look, dad and second uncle are back."

Unfortunately, the little guy ignored him.

Zhang Qingshan is not angry either. Shulin like this, he is already used to it.

"Hey brother, look, why is there a bun in front of Shulin? Where did it come from?" Zhang Qingshan pointed at the bun in front of Shulin and said.

Zhang Tieshan also saw it. He was silent for a while, but did not answer. He just stepped forward to pick up the little guy and patted his little back lightly, "Shulin, dad is back. Go out with dad okay?"

Shulin didn't say anything, but didn't reject Zhang Tieshan.

　　Zhang Tieshan walked out of the kitchen with Shulin in his arms. Zhang Qingshan picked up the meat bun and went out, "Brother, this meat bun is still fresh, let's warm it up for Shulin." The meat bun is not cheap. He didn't know who's so kind and give it to Shulin.

Zhang Tieshan glanced at the closed doors of the woodshed, "Throw it away."

"Ah?" Zhang Qingshan's eyes widened, "Brother, this meat bun is not cheap. Shulin probably haven't eaten it before. It's a pity to throw it away, let him eat it. Besides, what a waste of food to throw it away."

Zhang Tieshan paused and glanced at the thin son in his arms. After a while, he respond: "Mm."

Zhang Qingshan grinned and returned to the kitchen. He heated up the meat bun and returned to the main room, handling the meat bun to his brother.

Zhang Tieshan was holding Shulin in his arms as he reached out and take the meat bun. He grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth first. After a while, he tore off a small piece and handed it to Shulin's mouth, "Shulin, eat the buns."

The little guy in his arms blinked. He obediently opened his mouth after a while. He chewed the bun slowly, swallowing it after a long time.

Zhang Tieshan was not in a hurry. Seeing Shulin swallowing it , he grabbed another piece to feed him.

Zhang Qingshan's eyes were sore from the side. He waved his sleeves and wiped his eyes.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Shulin, making him like this." Zhang Tieshan blamed himself very much.  If he payed more attention and fight with that woman, will Shulin even become like this?

Zhang Tieshan didn't say anything and just shook his head, "It's none of your business, you're still young." His brother is only thirteen years old, and he is still a child. How can he protect Shulin? He and his mother suffered a lot.

Zhang Qingshan turned his head and blinked his eyes desperately. After a long while, he spoke again: "Brother, now that you're back, we will not be afraid."
　　
Zhang Tieshan said "um".

Zhang Qingshan looked in the direction of the woodshed with a touch of disgust and hatred in his eyes, "Brother, why do you still keep this woman! She is so bad, why let her stay?"

Zhang Tieshan continued to feed Shulin the buns, "I have already divorced her. For the sake of her giving birth to Shulin, let her live here for a while."

Zhang Qingshan was furious, "Brother, you have already divorced her, why still let her in si kindly? Let her go back to her mother's house!"

Zhang Tieshan's eyes flashed with a hint of danger, his voice was inexplicably dangerous: "Don't worry, I haven't settled the account with that family. We'll talk about it when I settle the account."
