Chapter 37:
The back kitchen of the Lord’s manor.
Several home cooks were cooking beef, filling the air with the aroma of meat, and on the adjacent tray there was an unplucked bull’s head.
"Ah Cheng, what are you daydreaming for? Come and lend a hand." The family’s cook hurriedly urged a young household servant standing behind him.
"Are you going to say something? Why are you standing there with your mouth watering? This is something the young master specifically requested, if you steal it, you’ll be beaten to death!"
"I’m not hungry." Ah Cheng stared directly at the ox head beside him and whispered,
"This dahuang… this dahuang cow used to be our plow ox at home."
"Your plow ox? Did you sell it to the master’s mansion?" The family chef’s meat chopping slowed down slightly, but his mouth didn’t stop,
"Even so, you can’t be lazy, or you’ll risk being punished by the young master for wasting time."
"Okay." Ah Cheng had no choice but to step forward and start helping with the work, but his mind drifted back to the past, occasionally glancing at the cow’s head.
