"I know! I know! Aren't you here just to ask Sister Jiao for help?"

"Sister Jiao, please help me. I don't dare to ask for more. Five pills will be enough!"

The Lu family bowed and begged.

"My dear sister, the eldest girl in my family makes great shoes. She made a pair of shoes for my wife the other day and she praised them!"

"Give me the shoe sample and ask her to make it and send it to me later. I guarantee it will be comfortable to wear!"

Madam Jiao's eyes flickered and she said with a smile, "Since you've said it out loud, I'll risk my reputation and go and tell the old lady about it. If the old lady scolds me, don't blame me!"

"I dare not, I dare not. My elder sister is naturally the most respected in front of the old lady..."

Madam Jiao pointed at her and smiled, "Forget it, just wait."

Lu Jia's eyes lit up and she smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Then I'll wait for Sister Jiao here?"

Aunt Jiao nodded with her chin, turned and went in.

Not long after, a little girl came out.

The little girl looked around and saw the Lu family.

"Auntie Lu? These are the shoes our Madam Jiao likes. Madam Jiao likes thick soles. There's no need to embroider the uppers, just some silk edges will do."

When the Lu family took the shoe sample, they felt like a cat's claws were scratching their hearts.

Sure enough, the little girl carefully took out a small purse.

"There are five pills of our old lady's magic medicine in this purse. You can only take one pill a day, after meals. When you take it, drink a few sips of water. Don't let it get stuck in your throat, otherwise it will be useless... Take it for five days and you should be fine."

Lu's family was overjoyed. They took the small purse as if it were a treasure and opened it carefully. They saw a thin paper package inside with five tiny pills. They breathed a long sigh of relief, praised the little girl a lot, took out half a bag of melon seeds and gave it to the little girl, then left in a hurry.

A sweet smell wafted from the small kitchen in the old lady's yard.

After a while, two little girls came out smilingly, holding food boxes.

"Mother Zhou's cooking skills are getting better and better!"

"This time, the rose fruit cake is really beautiful and sweet!"

It wasn't that the two of them were stealing food, but when they entered the kitchen, Mrs. Zhou, who was in charge of making pastries, cut two small pieces of the test dough and gave them some to try.

The small kitchen is just a few steps away from the old lady's main room.

When the rose fruit cake was placed on the stone table in the small pavilion, it was still steaming hot and hot to the touch!

Aunt Jiao washed her hands, placed two plates of snacks on the table herself, then picked up the small teapot, poured a cup of fragrant, bright red tea, and brought it to the old lady.

Aunt Su sat on a cushioned stone bench, picked up the small snow-white porcelain cup, and took a sip.

Aunt Jiao asked with a smile, "This fruit cake is really beautiful. The glutinous rice on the outside is white as snow, and it is dotted with pink spots. It looks no worse than the ones sold in pastry shops outside!"

After saying that, she took out a small silver knife and cut a piece of flower cake into four small pieces, each of which was not much bigger than a thumb.

However, when the flower cake was cut, the bright red rose peach jam flowed out from it, still steaming. Isn't it even more tempting?

Aunt Su took the small silver fork handed over by Aunt Jiao, picked up a piece of flower cake and put it into her mouth.

Aunt Su couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Don’t say it yet!

Don’t even say it!

This pastry is freshly baked and eaten right away, it is so sweet!

What's more, the chef who made the pastry was Aunt Su's personal chef. She could eat whenever she wanted and as much as she wanted...

What a corrupt day!

Aunt Su ate five small pieces in a row and felt a little sick of it.

So he took another big sip of tea.

This tea is naturally a high-quality black tea with a very mellow and smooth taste.

However, when the tea went into her stomach, Aunt Su couldn't help but sigh.

Madam Jiao asked hurriedly, "Madam, what's wrong with the tea?"

Aunt Su glanced at Aunt Jiao and said, "It would be better if we added some milk and honey to the tea."

Aunt Jiao was stunned. What kind of way is this to drink?

He could only hesitate and say, "We are in mourning at home, so I'm afraid we can't buy milk. We do have honey, but if I add honey to this tea, I'm afraid it will taste a bit weird."

As soon as Aunt Jiao said this, the old lady's smiling expression froze.

Aunt Su cursed Old Deng a hundred times in her heart.

The old man is dead, but people still have to mourn for him!

It’s fine that his sons and daughters have to observe mourning, but the original owner never received any normal treatment after she got married, and she also has to observe mourning for Lao Deng. It’s really unlucky!

Otherwise, she now has a small kitchen in her yard, a personal cook, and money in her hands. Except for beef, she can buy any fresh food she wants in this city. Then, can't she have big meals every day and enjoy supreme treatment?

Aunt Su drank the remaining tea in the cup.

Watching Aunt Jiao refill her tea.

I started to ponder it in my mind.

In this world, mourning period lasts for three years!

Of course, it is really difficult to observe mourning meticulously for three years.

Therefore, in practice, women can usually eat meat and have babies after a year.

But for the remaining two years, he still cannot hold an official position, attend banquets, get married, etc.

But if she couldn't eat meat, eggs or milk for a whole year, wouldn't that be like asking for her death?

What should I do if she suffers from osteoporosis and vitamin deficiency if she doesn’t eat high-quality protein?

However, as long as she lived in this mansion, her every move would inevitably be watched by others.

How can I be happy if I can’t even go shopping or do some shopping?

No, no, she has to think of a good way!
