I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 198 Eating
But then again, it's really not easy to be a slave. She had all sorts of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't show any of it on her face and walked quickly to the small kitchen.

The old woman was boiling water. When she saw Zhang Chengyuan coming, she did not stand up but waited until she came closer before asking, "Does the master have any instructions?"

Zhang Chengyuan pointed at the cakes, and the old woman asked, "Do you mean the master asked you to get the cakes?"

She nodded her head to indicate yes. The maid thought that the plate she had just taken away should be enough for the master to eat, so she asked, "But did the master order the rest to be shared among us servants?"

Zhang Chengyuan nodded again, and the old woman still had no expression on her face and said, "Okay, I'll go tell them when I have time."

After saying that, he lowered his head and ignored her. I guess he was unhappy because she didn't get any benefits.

Zhang Chengyuan didn't care about that. She walked closer, patted her, and gestured that she wanted to take away four bags of snacks. The old woman gave her a look and snorted as a consent.

She achieved her goal and stopped pestering him. She took the cakes and left quickly. As for the old woman's unhappiness, who cared?

Although she has to keep a low profile, she will not allow herself to be bullied. Being a slave is already unfair enough, and if anyone steps on her, she will definitely be furious.

Zhang Chengyuan returned to the house with four packages of cakes. While eating the purple sweet potato cakes, she calculated the world's inventory.

This world was too oppressive, and she could only take things out of the grid space occasionally, and there were quantity restrictions. Because of the need for the mute potion, she had spent most of this time taking out the production materials, and basically didn't take out anything else.

Food was not in urgent need, so she didn't get any. Besides, she still had the bubble ball and skills, so she wasn't particularly worried.

Now she has five pots of purple sweet potato cakes and twenty-eight bubble balls. She has made all the medicinal materials into finished mute medicines, which can be used for about three to four years. If the extra amplified parts are included, it can be used for at least seventeen or eighteen years. There is no need to worry about the amplified part as long as it is not taken out. However, this is not the case with the prepared ones. Its storage is a problem.

In addition, there are some other miscellaneous items, but they are not important.

Zhang Chengyuan took a sip of tea and after hesitating for a while, she decided to open the bubble ball. She urgently needed something to store things.

The mute medicine must not be discovered by anyone, otherwise she would have no way to defend herself.

Zhang Chengyuan opened them one by one, praying silently in his heart, but heaven only granted his wish and found some food and daily necessities.

She had no choice but to hide the things, quickly finish the bag of purple sweet potato cake, and go to wait outside Zhang Yuzhi's door.

Not long after, Ruyi came out and saw Zhang Chengyuan standing outside the door. She asked in surprise, "Xiaoyuan, didn't you go to rest?"

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head, smiled and gestured to explain, telling her that he had rested for a while before coming here, and she wanted to stay with her master.

Ruyi felt uncomfortable watching this. She touched Zhang Chengyuan's head with pity in her eyes: "Well, if you want to stay here, then stay here. I will tell the master and let him know your feelings."

Zhang Chengyuan bowed to her gratefully, but she held him back: "No need to thank me, the master is still waiting, I will go and serve the master the meal."

Zhang Chengyuan nodded, stepped back, and smiled at her.

Ruyi left quickly. Zhang Chengyuan retracted the corners of her lips that were raised and continued to wait with her head down, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Zhang Chengyuan observed the people in the yard calmly while listening to the movements in the house.

The room was very quiet and I didn't know what was going on.

When Ruyi came over with a strange maid carrying a food box, she immediately went over to help.

Seeing her take the food box, Ruyi thanked her and let go. She pounded her aching arm and said, "Xiao Yuan, the young lady will be resting soon. Do you want me to bring you some food?"

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head, pointed at her and himself and made a walking gesture.

Ruyi asked, "You mean to go with me?"

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and nodded. Ruyi wanted to say something but looking at her face, she said nothing in the end. However, her mind revealed her thoughts:

If anyone dares to laugh at or gossip about Xiao Yuan, if I can't beat her, I'll just curse her back. I absolutely can't let Xiao Yuan be sad. She's already pitiful enough.

Zhang Chengyuan identified Ruyi's mentality and felt that she was a little cute.

Ruyi eased the pain in her arm, then took the food box from the maid and let her leave.

She and Zhang Chengyuan each carried a food box into the living room. After they set the food in place, they went together to invite Zhang Yuzhi to come over for dinner.

When Zhang Yuzhi saw Zhang Chengyuan, she didn't have any excessive psychological reactions.

During the meal, Liuzhu served them and Zhang Chengyuan stood behind and watched.

To be honest, she felt the food was pretty good, though a bit bland.

She was looking forward to the meals that these big maids would prepare in a while, but she didn't know what they would taste like. If they were not delicious, she would have to find opportunities to go to the small kitchen from time to time to make some food for herself.

As Zhang Chengyuan watched, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhang Yuzhi. She had very good etiquette when eating. Her every move was elegant. She chewed her food slowly and carefully, which was very entertaining to watch.

After finally waiting for Zhang Yuzhi to finish eating and Zhang Chengyuan and others to leave, he called people over to help clean up the mess. Before they finished, Ruyi arrived.

"Xiao Yuan, tell them to hurry up."

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and urged them to speed up.

After checking and making sure that everything was ready, she followed Ruyi to the big kitchen to eat.

On the way, Ruyi complained quietly: "I'm so hungry. You don't know that when the young lady went to pay her respects to the old lady in the morning, the second young lady and the fourth young lady had a quarrel, so the young lady didn't stay for breakfast, and we didn't have a chance to eat some cakes to fill our stomachs."

Zhang Chengyuan patted her hands to comfort her.

It turned out that there was a special place for maids to eat, but it was also divided into levels. There was a room for the menial maids and servants to eat, a room for the second-class maids and servants to eat, and then there was a room for the nanny's personal maid.

When passing by, Zhang Chengyuan took a look. The servants ate steamed buns, rice and cabbage, and there was no smell of meat. The second-class servants ate one dish and one soup.

Ruyi led her into the last room, where there were already more than a dozen people. Each small table had three dishes and a soup, including both meat and vegetables. The colors were beautifully matched and smelled delicious.

Ruyi pulled her to sit down in everyone's seat, and a maid came over to serve the dishes and rice and steamed buns.

Ruyi picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Seeing that Zhang Chengyuan hadn't started yet, she urged him, "Xiaoyuan, what are you hesitating about? Eat quickly. We still have to go and change Linglong and Liuzhu later."

Zhang Chengyuan nodded, picked up the chopsticks and started eating quickly.

After eating, there were still some steamed buns left, but she didn't know if she could take them away. While she was hesitating, Ruyi was already wrapping the steamed buns in a handkerchief.

Zhang Chengyuan looked at her without any embarrassment: "Do you want one too?"

Zhang Chengyuan nodded.

Ruyi glanced at the steamed buns and said, "There are still four left, let's split them equally."

As she spoke, she took one down, wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in her arms.

Without her urging, Zhang Chengyuan also took out a handkerchief and followed her example, wrapped the steamed bun and put it in his arms.
