Chapter 293: I Have The Ability

Based on Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng’s daily life, before he is full, he will finish at least five bowls of rice and several plates of side dishes. But now, apart from that bowl of chicken soup and that steamed bun, he obviously didn’t touch other dishes.

Being stared at by her, Mu Yucheng approached her, lowered his voice and whispered: "They seem to be very hungry. Let’s eat something simple later."

Xu Xiang tilted her head slightly and said in confusion: "But if it’s not enough, I still have a lot of food. I can take out some more."

Mu Yucheng glanced at the others and whispered: "They won’t dare to accept it."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang thought that his boyfriend looked indifferent and cold, but he had the kindest heart. She smiled at him, lowered her voice, and said softly: "All right. Let’s have a meal together later."

After speaking, Xu Xiang put down the bowl and chopsticks. Mu Yucheng nodded at her, poured her a cup of tea, and the two of them waited patiently for the others to finish eating.

Ten minutes later, Xu Xiang looked at the clean plates and bowls on the table and asked, "Is there enough food? Shall I take out more?"

Lin Yong shook his head quickly, and said embarrassedly: "It is enough, it is enough."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang glanced at the expressionless Mu Yucheng and smiled. Since they had finished eating, Xu Xiang put away the empty plates and took out some desserts.

This time, Mu Yucheng didn’t wait for Xu Xiang to help him get the food, but reached out to take a cream puff and put it on the small plate in front of Xu Xiang, and then took one for himself. Xu Xiang turned her head to look at him, and saw that his cold eyes became slightly warmer. Covering her smile, she put the plate of cream puffs in front of Mu Yucheng.

She looked at the others again and said, "I made these desserts. Please try it."

Lin Yong’s daughter tugged at her mother’s sleeve when she saw the beautiful and delicious dessert in front of her. It was the first time for her to see so many beautiful desserts, and she didn’t know if she could eat them or not.

Her mother looked at her, smiled and nodded slightly. Getting her mother’s approval, the little girl looked at Xu Xiang, smiled brightly at her, and picked up a cookie from the plate in front of her.

After finishing their lunch, dessert and tea, Xu Xiang looked at Han Yizi and said, "Old Grandpa, I’m here to talk about two things with you."

Han Yizi put the half-eaten glutinous rice dumpling in a bowl and said, "Young Lady, please speak freely."

Xu Xiang said, "The first thing is about the public kitchen."

Hearing what she said, Han Yizi was confused and asked, "Public kitchen? Do you want to build a kitchen?"

Xu Xiang shook her head and said, "I’m going to open a public kitchen for three days, so I need at least twenty women to help me prepare the food. The public kitchen will provide three meals a day, and everyone can go there to get their share."

After listening to her explanation, not only Han Yizi was surprised, Lin Yong and his wife were also very surprised by Xu Xiang’s plan.

Han Yizi came back to his senses and said, "Young Lady, are you sure? If three meals a day are really provided, not only the villagers of Mei Hua Village will come, but even the villagers of surrounding villages will come to receive free food."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang knew what Han Yizi was worried about. She calmly took a sip of her tea and said, "I know that if the news gets out, those who didn’t come today will come for sure. And those who are late also will cause trouble and ask for food when they arrive."

"Then why do you still want to do it?" Han Yizi asked again in confusion.

Xu Xiang put down her teacup and said, "I have my reasons for doing things, and I have the ability to do them."

She looked at Han Yizi and asked, "Old Grandpa, can you help me with the recruitment?"

Before Han Yizi could speak, Lin Yong’s wife said, "Young Lady, can you hire the worker from my village to do this job?"

Xu Xiang turned to look at her and said, "I would be very grateful if Madam could help me solve this problem."

Seeing her expression, Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I will pay those women accordingly."

Lin Yong’s wife breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Xu Xiang would pay them. Once there is a payment, you don’t have to worry about no one taking the job.

She looked at Xu Xiang and asked, "When will the public kitchen open?"

"Today." Xu Xiang said calmly.

Lin Yong’s wife thought for a while and said, "I can gather the women together within two hours. Is that alright with you, Young Lady?"

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Yes. I want to start opening the public kitchen this evening. Since many people haven’t eaten for a long time, it’s best to start as soon as possible."

Lin Yong’s wife nodded and said, "I understand. Then, where do you want to build the public kitchen?"

Xu Xiang thought for a while and said, "It should be built in an open place, so that if there are too many people, they will not hurt each other."

Lin Yong heard Xu Xiang’s words and said, "Not far from this village, there is an open field. Do you want to build a public kitchen there? I can help build a temporary stall to distribute food."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "That’s a good idea. I will prepare the materials to build the stall and the cooking ingredients later."

"All right." Lin Yong nodded.
