Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 976: A shocking sight ——2

  Yu Dong however did not even stop her actions, she simply tossed the onions in the pan while Chen Mi sautéed them with a pair of long wooden chopsticks. Only then did Yu Dong turn to look at Sister Kang and the rest before replying, "What's so weird about it? One of my husbands gave birth a few months ago and thus he is still recovering his strength while the other one is carrying my child … and leaving the entire work on these two does not feel right, don't you think? After all, entertaining a guest is my job as much as it's theirs."      

She did not feel ashamed to do the work which was supposed to be done by mers. In her world, she had seen many times how officers would invite their colleagues to lunch without even asking their wives—— and those poor women had to work hard in the kitchen to whip another meal for the guests in limited time and that too without a mistake.      

What was more there was one time when Yu Dong was invited by an officer to go to his house for lunch with the rest of the group. She knew the officer and thought that as he was a careful and considerate man, he would have told his wife that he was inviting his friends over but when she arrived at his house and saw the shocked look on the face of the woman, Yu Dong knew that the officer did not tell his wife anything.      

Back then, the woman who had just given birth to a child had to go inside the sweltering hot kitchen and cook for the entire group while taking care of the child and throughout the time, the officer who invited them did not even take hold of the baby. He continued to laugh and joke around with his colleagues, in the end, it was Yu Dong who couldn't take it anymore and went to help the wife of the officer.      

She still remembered how the officer had degraded his wife by saying that she was a drama queen who just wanted to take everyone's sympathy.      

If not for the fact that the officer was her senior, Yu Dong would have punched the man in the face and then left him to bleed.      

Thus, she did not think that there was anything wrong with her helping her husbands. There were so many people in their family, so was there anything wrong in helping them cook? It wasn't as if they did not do anything all day long. From taking care of the children to the animals and making sure to keep the house clean and they had warm meals three times a day —— the mers took care of everything.      

So in Yu Dong's eyes, there was nothing wrong if she helped them a little when they were busy.      Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in N(o)vᴇl(F)ire

Her words caused the three women to ponder over carefully because what Yu Dong said was indeed the truth, if the mers were not feeling well there was no point in forcing them to work and leaving the others to handle the meal alone was too much.      

But even so, it was quite shocking for them to see a woman cook so well. Neither of the three of them could even boil water because if they did then Gong Shun wouldn't be relying on the meals cooked by her husband!      

  However, they did not have the time to care about it anymore as Yu Dong placed the pork belly in the pan right at that moment and left it to simmer with the herbs that she had grown in her backyard. She did not add even a drop of oil and simply let it cook it in its fat—— the tantalising scent of the pork which was raised on the Yu family farm along with the special herbs was so delicious that every single thought flew out of the heads of the three women.      

They sniffed the mouth-watering scent and then gulped before sister Kang gasped in surprise, " Miss Yu, did you learn cooking from the imperial chefs? How come you can make pork belly smell so good?"      

They were keeping an eye on the kitchen as they wanted to learn a thing or two from Yu Dong and her husbands, maybe if they were as skilled as Yu Dong then their meals might become satisfactory as well.     

Yu Dong simply smiled before replying, " There is no such thing, the pigs raised in our farms are differently raised when compared to the rest of the farms, which is why you might be noticing the difference."      

So they were raising their livestock differently as well? No wonder that pork belly looked especially juicy. Sister Kang once had the opportunity to taste the pork belly cooked by a retired chef who once worked under an imperial chef—— back then she thought that the chef did an amazing job but now as she watched Yu Dong flip the pork belly around and then pour a dark sauce on it, she realised that the chef was still far from getting as close to Yu Dong!      

Gong Shun on the other hand gulped and then asked in shock, "Sister Dong are you a magician? How come your homegrown vegetables and livestock smell so heavenly when cooked?"      

Yu Tong glared at Gong Shun and then snapped,  " How many times have I told you? Stop calling my sister … your sister! Don't go around making relationships with my family."      

The three women ignored Yu Tong as Hou Bo licked her lips and then asked Yu Dong, " Miss Yu are you going to sell the meat in the town as well?"      

" Of course, I am," Yu Dong chuckled as she placed the pork belly on the working station and then sliced it up causing a scent even more delicious than before to rise in the air and then waft over to the three women who sniffed while drooling. " But of course, the price will be different as well."
