Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

She took out five different flavors of rice dumplings from the kitchen and brought them to the dining table.

“Mother, what kind of rice dumplings do we have this time?” Chu Ziluo had been busy preparing for the upcoming female arts competition for the past two days and had no time to prepare dumplings at home. She could only take a breather now and ask Ye Muyu coquettishly.

“There are red bean fillings, fresh meat fillings, jujube paste fillings, purple sweet potato fillings, and salted duck egg fillings.”

“Two types of savory ones and three types of sweet ones. Since you guys like sweet ones, there will be less savory ones.”

Ye Muyu pointed at the five types of dumplings on the table. “Which one do you like? Try it yourself.”

Chu Ziluo reached out for a rice dumpling and said, “Mother, I like the jujube paste filling. It’s so fragrant and soft.”

Chu Jin was a foodie, so he did not stand on ceremony. He subconsciously thought about the red bean filling, but he liked meat. Although he had not eaten savory dumplings in the past, he was curious about the new dish. He turned his hand and took the dumplings with fresh meat filling.

“Mother, do savory rice dumplings taste good?” Chu Jin asked as he poked the dumpling that was still a little hot.

“You’ll know when you eat it.” Ye Muyu thought that there was no definite answer to the savory and sweet rice dumplings. It all depended on whether they liked it or not.

Chu Jin was not disappointed that he could not get any answers. Instead, he said excitedly, “Mom, can I go to the county with Uncle Chu Xing in the afternoon?”

He had been thinking about this for a long time. After all, he had spent a lot of time on Zhuge Suo in the past ten days. He really wanted to see with his own eyes which kind of Zhuge Lock would sell well.

He had even made a bet with Uncle Chu Xing.

“Then let Zhang Shu follow you.” Ye Muyu knew what the child was thinking. She glanced at Chu Heng and saw that he did not object. “Don’t run around when you go to the county. If you get kidnapped, you won’t be able to go home, understand?”

“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll never leave Uncle Chu Xing and Uncle Zhang Shu’s side.” Chu Jin nodded and promised.

He knew that even though his father did not mind him doing this, if he did something wrong and caused his mother to worry, he would definitely be in big trouble. Chu Jin subconsciously glanced at his cold father. As expected, his expression was a little unfriendly. He quickly shrunk his neck and went to eat his dumplings.

How could Ye Muyu not see it? He was afraid, but he was relieved.

“What do you want to eat?” Ye Muyu tilted her head and asked Chu Heng. She did not care at first, but when the two children were eating, the man beside her did not make a move. Ye Muyu felt that this person might be having a conflict in his heart again. For the sake of family harmony, she also treated him as a junior and cared about him. Any conflict could be eliminated invisibly. This was the conclusion Ye Muyu came to after spending time with Chu Heng. Seeing Ye Muyu ask him, Chu Heng’s mood instantly improved, and his gaze softened.

“Is this salted duck egg stuffing a new recipe of yours?” Chu Heng asked.

“Well, you can try.” Ye Muyu’s slender and fair fingers peeled a dumpling and placed it on the plate in front of him.

She took a fresh meat dumpling for herself.

Chu Heng tasted it. When he tasted the savory taste, he thought it would be very bad, but unexpectedly, it tasted okay.

“This salted duck egg doesn’t seem too salty,” Chu Heng commented.

Ye Muyu nodded. “It can be preserved for a longer time if it’s too salty, but it won’t be edible if it’s too salty in the rice dumplings.”

“Because only egg yolk is used in this, so… We have to eat the egg white ourselves.” Because of this, Ye Muyu did not make many salted duck egg dumplings..
