Uprising In The Plot! After Transmigrating, The Bigshots Pampered Me Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Lunch Time

Yu Jue was trembling with fear, afraid that the boss would attack them in a fit of anger. He tugged at Yu Yao’s clothes, wanting to remind her not to anger the boss again.

However, Yu Yao slapped Yu Jue’s hand away and said indifferently, “I still have to go inside to buy some side dishes. I think your meat is quite fresh. If your meat isn’t more expensive than elsewhere, I’ll definitely come back to buy it.”

“Alright, little sister. I’ll wait for you then.”

Unexpectedly, the fierce-looking boss of the meat stall was not angry because they only looked at the goods but did not buy them. Instead, he replied very good-naturedly.

After following Yu Yao for a long distance, Yu Jue couldn’t help but ask, “Why wasn’t that boss angry just now? I thought he was going to attack us.”

Yu Yao looked at him strangely. “Why would they be angry at us? It’s just a business deal. Even if we don’t buy their ribs, someone else will. It’s not like they won’t be able to continue doing business without us.”

Yu Jue looked embarrassed. “Yaoyao is right. I’m just not used to it.”

He looked like a lost dog that had suddenly arrived in a strange environment. His entire body was filled with vigilance, as if everyone wanted to hurt him.

Yu Yao chuckled and reached out to pull Yu Jue’s arm. “Don’t worry. I have a lot of experience shopping at the marketplace. You just have to follow me closely. I won’t lose you.”

Yu Jue was stunned. He stared blankly at the hand tugging at his sleeve.

Yu Jue was naturally happy to be treated so intimately by Yu Yao, but at the same time, a bitter emotion rose in his heart.

He, his two other brothers, and Yu Wan, who had grown up with their parents, never needed to buy groceries personally. Occasionally, they would buy things using large-scale supermarkets. The marketplace was like another world to the Yu family.

Yu Yao was also a member of the Yu family, but she was like a fish in water in an environment like the marketplace. Yu Jue could almost imagine that during the ten plus years before Yu Yao was brought back to the Yu family, she had gone to the market to buy groceries with the family she had been raised in from a young age. From a young age, she had learned to interact with fierce meat stall owners…

Yu Jue wondered if Yaoyao would be as at a loss as he was when she first came to a place like the marketplace.

He did not dare to show his heartache and guilt, so he could only find a dry topic to talk about. “Yaoyao, you’re awesome. How do you know everything?”

Yu Yao was bending over to place vegetables in a bag. She was speaking nicely to the stall owner to get her to give her a garlic clove for free. The stall owner was a cheerful person, so after being flattered by Yu Yao, she smiled and added two more garlic cloves to the bag.

Yu Jue thought that Yu Yao hadn’t heard him at all and didn’t mind. He just silently followed behind her. After Yu Yao paid, he obediently reached out to take the bag.

Yu Yao gave Yu Jue an approving look and said, “Actually, I’m not good at haggling at all. You don’t know that some people can haggle with the vegetable seller just for a few cents, while I’m more restrained. After all, I’m too embarrassed to haggle.”

It turned out that Yaoyao had misunderstood him. Yu Jue smiled gently but did not explain his thoughts.

Yu Jue suddenly realized that Yaoyao, who could survive independently, was really amazing. But in Yaoyao’s eyes, this seemed to be an ability that everyone should have. She had never thought of herself as anything special.

The two of them walked around the market and finally returned to the meat stall owner’s place to buy pork ribs and some streaky pork.

When they returned home, it was almost noon. Yu Jue put on an apron and planned to show off his skills.

Yu Yao also wanted to let Yu Jue show off his culinary skills, but she hadn’t sat in the living room for more than ten minutes when she heard a few clanging sounds coming from the kitchen. She went over to take a look and realized that the kitchen had been messed up by Yu Jue.

The table was filled with vegetables. It was impossible to tell if they had been washed or not. There were also a few pots on the table. It seemed that Yu Jue didn’t know which pot to use. Most importantly, the side dishes on the table hadn’t been cut yet, so Yu Jue was just going to stir fry the spare ribs.

This scene made Yu Yao feel helpless. In order to let herself eat a normal lunch, Yu Yao could only roll up her sleeves and say, “Let me do it today.”

Yu Jue was flustered, but he still tried to act tough. “Yaoyao, don’t worry. I can handle it!”

“How can I relax like this?” Yu Yao rolled her eyes and pulled Yu Jue away from the stove. After turning off the fire, she said, “You don’t have to think that you’re useless. I have other tasks for you to do.”

“Yaoyao, what do you need me to do?” Yu Jue looked very enthusiastic.

Yu Yao picked up a few vegetables and handed them to Yu Jue. “Wash these vegetables and then peel two onions.”
