Chapter 882: Firework

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Ye Muyu arrived, all the dishes were ready.

Ye Muyu brought over the braised vegetables, adding another dish to the table.

“Mother.” The two children had been playing for the entire afternoon and their faces were red. When they saw her coming over, they hugged her legs one after another.

Ye Muyu staggered from the impact and laughed. Someone held her shoulder.

She turned around and saw that it was Chu Heng, so she did not mind. “When did you come over?” she asked.

“I just got here,” Chu Heng said, hugging her waist from behind.

“Is the matter with the Luo family a little tricky?”

“It’s not that tricky. It’s just that it’s a little troublesome and involves other things.” Chu Heng saw that she was a little curious. He smiled and rubbed her head. “I’ll tell you tonight,” he said with a deep voice.

“Alright.” There was plenty of time to keep watch at night, so Ye Muyu was not in a hurry.

The dinner was even more sumptuous than the lunch.

Ye Muyu did not dare to drink fruit wine for dinner, afraid that Chu Heng would catch her.

“Third Sister-in-law, why aren’t you drinking?” Madam Wang asked curiously.

“I want to eat more dishes. Wine is too filling.” Ye Muyu gave her an excuse.

Chu Heng heard her answer and the smile in his eyes deepened. He asked someone to get some fruit tea for Ye Muyu. These fruits had all been preserved and there were not many of them.

Madam Wang did not find it strange. She picked up another pot of fruit wine and poured herself a cup. “Third Sister-in-law, the taste is different again. What fruit did you put in?”

“Grapefruit.”

Ye Muyu picked it up and smelled it, confirming the type.

“The sour grapefruit that usually hangs on trees?” Most of the grapefruits in the village were wild. They were not specially taken care of, so they naturally did not taste good. Therefore, they needed to add sugar to have a sweet taste.

However, she could not let the sweet taste cover up the fruit fragrance of the grapefruit itself. Only then could the fruit wine taste purer and more mellow.

“Yes.” Ye Muyu listened to Madam Wang and the two of them unexpectedly got along.

Madam. Wang ate a piece of braised lotus root slice. It was quite rare. “Third Sister-in-law, this lotus root slice is also very delicious. I originally wanted to say that meat is the best, and this lotus root slice is only a vegetable dish. It definitely can’t compare to meat.”

“However, after eating so much meat, vegetables actually taste good.” She clicked her tongue. “It’s really rare. I never thought that I would get sick of eating meat one day.”

Ye Muyu laughed. “Second Sister-in-law, take your time. There’s no rush. Meat and vegetables are good for your health.”

“That’s true. With you around, I won’t have to worry about not having meat to eat in the future. Everyone says that Ah Heng is good at his studies, but you’re not bad either. You can read and cook well. No one knows how to eat these things.”

“If a woman can take the imperial examination, Third Sister-in-law, you must be very powerful too.” Madam Wang had been conquered by Ye Muyu’s food.

Ye Muyu did not care about this. After eating and drinking, the family came out of the old residence.

Ziluo and Lil’ Jin were both holding small firework tubes.

“Where did this thing come from?” Ye Muyu asked Chu Heng as he watched the fireworks.

Chu Heng said, “It was developed a hundred years ago. It’s very expensive, and you can’t buy it usually. Only some wealthy businessmen celebrate their birthdays or lively festivals. They will set off some fireworks.”

“Do you know what this is made of?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Sulfur, mud…” Chu Heng told her the formula.

“Are these things only made into fireworks?”
