Chapter 19: What’s going on with the chicken?

“Ah? Oh, okay, okay.” Mrs. Chen’s heart was pounding. She poured a few spoonfuls of chicken soup and put the chicken legs into the bowl.

As if in a dream, the family picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

After taking two bites, Gu Qing couldn’t help it anymore and looked at Gu Fei: “What’s going on with this chicken?”

Gu Fei took a sip of the delicious chicken soup and said happily: “It’s okay, it’s just a trick I learned from an Old Taoist Priest. This pot of chicken has always been there, but you can’t see it.”

The whole family nodded: “So that’s it.”

In the past, when they visited temple fairs, they had also seen a magic trick. The thing disappeared and then came out again. It must be the same thing.

Only Gu Zhang stared at the bowl in the middle.

He could see clearly that the bowl was a little closer to where it was before, and the chicken soup was still rippling slightly. This was not a magic trick!

Seeing that Gu Zhang was still dazed, Gu Fei knew that he might have noticed something.

But she was not too worried, she knew her family’s character.

She smiled at Gu Zhang: “Father, don’t be in a daze, let’s eat.”

“Oh, okay.” Gu Zhang then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the rice bowl.

While eating, Mrs. Chen started to chatter: “Eldest, you have to go to the city to buy food in the afternoon. There is no food for dinner at home today.”

Speaking of entering the city, Gu Fei thought of the second young lady again and wondered if she was still in prison.

She has to ask her eldest brother to get some news later.

As soon as Gu Fei finished chewing the chicken drumstick, another drumstick fell into her bowl. Gu Zhang looked at her eagerly: “Eat more, so your injury will heal faster.”

Just as Gu Fei was about to start eating, she saw Xiao Cao in Li Chunhua’s arms, biting her fingers and looking eagerly at the chicken drumsticks in her bowl.

The little girl’s big eyes were full of desire for meat.

Gu Fei felt soft, picked up the chicken legs, and put them in Li Chunhua’s bowl: “Let’s give it to Xiao Cao to eat.”

Li Chunhua quickly took the chicken leg back and said: “You can’t. Sister, you are injured. You should eat something good. Xiao Cao is still small and cannot digest too much food.”

Gu Fei looked helplessly at the chicken leg in the bowl. This family was too down-to-earth.

She put the chicken leg into Li Chunhua’s bowl again, “Stop pushing them around, give them to Xiao Cao, I can’t eat anymore.”

Li Chunhua glanced at her parents-in-law and saw that they were both silent. She then carefully tore off a piece of meat and put it in Xiao Cao’s mouth: “This chicken leg was given to me by my sister-in-law. Xiao Cao must remember to thank your Aunt.”

Xiao Cao mumbled to Gu Fei while chewing the chicken: “Thank you, Aunt.”

Gu Zhang looked at Gu Fei with relief. Although his daughter had been in the duke’s mansion for eight years, she had not changed at all. She was still the filial and sensible child.

After eating, Gu Fei went to lie down on the bed again.

Not long after, she heard someone whispering outside.

“Father, I have no money in my hand. What will I do to buy food now?” This was Gu Qing.

Gu Zhang sighed: “Don’t be in a hurry for food. I asked Erlang and Sanlang to go up the mountain to see if they could find something to eat. The money in my hand has to go to the Yamen to handle your sister’s registration and settlement. 2 taels of silver may not be enough.”

“Okay, Father. Let’s leave quickly.”

Gu Fei felt anxious after hearing this. There must be food in her space. When she went to the supermarket warehouse to move supplies, she didn’t take a closer look. The entire warehouse was packed into the space.

Although the warehouse was not big, there was no shortage of basic things such as rice, flour, and oil.

It was just that this food cannot be taken out of thin air.

She still has to buy some.

Gu Fei was afraid that Gu Qing and Gu Zhang had left, so she raised her voice and shouted: “Brother, come in, I have something to ask you.”

  1. I have to say that she adapted to her situation quite quickly. Now I just wonder how she’ll explain the things from her space, lol.

    Thanks for the chapter! 😀
