Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 16 Learn to be grateful

Shen Fuyu went to find the servant who was in charge of charcoal and borrowed a few pieces of charcoal.

Because Mrs. Shen was gentle towards Shen Fuyu, and because she had saved his life, no one made things difficult for Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu deliberately took the things to the back mountain, to an inconspicuous corner where there were few people and they would not be discovered.

"Just wait, there's something delicious to eat."

Shen Fuyu simply built a platform and turned it into a barbecue stall. After lighting the charcoal fire, he started grilling the meat with quick movements.

A thin little body stood in front of the barbecue stall.

Hong Xing felt distressed. Sister Fu Yu was so skilled and must have done a lot of housework. She must take good care of Sister Fu Yu.

Daya didn't have the mind to think so much, her eyes were glued to the barbecue.

Soon, the barbecue was cooked. Shen Fuyu sprinkled some chili powder and black pepper to make a simple seasoning.

Suddenly the fragrance wafted across the back mountain.

I'm also thankful that the Shen Mansion is big enough, otherwise it would definitely attract people.

Shen Fuyu handed the barbecue to Daya and Hongxing, "You guys eat first."

Both of them treated Shen Fuyu sincerely, so Shen Fuyu naturally wouldn't worry about so many details.

Daya couldn't wait to eat it as soon as she got it, while Hong Xing handed the barbecue to Shen Fuyu's mouth.

"Sister Fu Yu, you eat first." Hong Xing smiled at Shen Fu Yu, and the dimples on her lips were so cute.

Shen Fuyu felt warm in his heart. He took a bite and his eyes immediately lit up, even though the seasoning was very simple.

But, it’s still delicious!

"It's delicious. Sister Hong Xing, you should try it too. There's not much meat here. I'll grill it soon and we can eat it together then."

Shen Fuyu was quick and agile, and soon placed skewer after skewer of barbecue on the table.

There was also sour plum soup brought by Hong Xing on the table.

Several people enjoyed the meal very much.

At this time, a blue figure stood in front of Shen Fuyu.

"Cough cough cough!" Shen Fuyu almost choked. He drank a mouthful of sour plum soup and then swallowed the barbecue.

It's the eldest lady.

"Miss." Hong Xing and Daya saluted quickly.

Shen Mengning said nothing, just looked at Shen Fuyu eagerly.

Shen Fuyu looked at her and instantly understood what Shen Mengning meant.

"Miss, come and eat with us."

"This, this is against the rules." Hong Xing hesitated. The master-servant concept was deeply rooted in her mind, and Hong Xing did not dare to eat with Shen Mengning.

"it does not matter."

Although Shen Mengning speaks slowly, her words are logical.

Shen Fuyu touched his chin. At the moment, Shen Mengning did not seem to have dementia. Perhaps, Shen Mengning had encountered some trauma during the time she was missing, which led to the language barrier.

While thinking, Shen Fuyu did not forget to comfort Hong Xing.

The four of them sat around a table, enjoying the barbecue. Shen Fuyu even taught them how to wrap it in lettuce.

Shen Mengning squinted her eyes because of the delicious food.

Daya was the happiest among them. She cried out, "Sister Fuyu, you are so amazing. You can actually make such delicious food. Even if I die for you, it's worth it."

"Pa!" Shen Fuyu stood up and patted Daya's head lightly.

"Sister Daya, don't say such unlucky words."

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, Sister Fu Yu." Daya smiled, looking naive and cute.

Hong Xing also gradually relaxed.

Shen Mengning didn't say anything, and the wariness in her eyes gradually decreased.

She likes getting along with Shen Fuyu.

The few of them chatted and laughed, and soon finished all the barbecue. Daya touched her stomach.

Woo woo woo, I’m not full!
Receiving Daya's resentful gaze, Shen Fuyu said helplessly: "Sister Daya, there isn't much food. I will let you eat as much as you want next time, okay?"

Daya pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Sister Fuyu, I saw that you deliberately left some barbecue." "I need it."

Shen Fuyu grilled all the remaining skewers, packed them up, and distributed them to the cook and the servant who borrowed charcoal.

Finally arrived at Xiao Taohong's residence.

No matter what the reason, Xiao Taohong was the first person to take care of her.

People should learn to be grateful.

Shen Fuyu raised his hand and knocked on Xiao Taohong's door.

Xiao Taohong opened the door and raised her eyebrows when she saw Shen Fuyu standing outside holding a barbecue.

Shen Fuyu noticed the red favorability on Xiao Taohong's forehead at a glance.

This shows dissatisfaction with her.

Shen Fuyu wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

I guess someone must have complained to Xiao Taohong.

Without waiting for Xiao Taohong to speak, Shen Fuyu spoke first.

"Sister Xiao Taohong, this is the barbecue I brought specially for you."

"Try it and see if it suits your taste. If you like it, I'll send it to you next time."

Xiao Taohong snorted coldly, "I thought you had forgotten me."

"I heard that you've been very close to Daya recently."

Even though Xiao Taohong doesn't live with Shen Fuyu, she knows everything about them.

Naturally, she also knew what kind of barbecue Shen Fuyu was going to prepare and that he had invited Daya. Xiao Taohong was very angry.

It was clearly she and Shen Fuyu who came into contact first, so why did Daya come later and take the lead?

Xiao Taohong wanted to teach Shen Fuyu a lesson, but unexpectedly, Shen Fuyu delivered barbecue to her door.

Her expression softened, and she didn't take the barbecue that Shen Fuyu handed over. She folded her arms around her chest and looked at Shen Fuyu, "It's a good thing you still remember me."

Shen Fuyu flattered, "How could I forget! Sister Xiao Taohong is so beautiful, I will never forget her once I've seen her."

"Sister Xiao Taohong is the first person who treated me well. No matter who I forget, I will never forget you."

Xiao Taohong unconsciously raised her chin and reluctantly took the barbecue, "You're sensible."

"I heard that you and Daya are very close..."

Shen Fuyu said frankly, "Yes."

"Sister Xiao Taohong, I encountered an assassin some time ago, and it was Daya who saved me. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be able to see me now."

"Even if Daya saved me, I wouldn't have anything to do with her. Little Taohong wouldn't trust me either, right? After all, who would dare to associate with such an ungrateful person?"

Shen Fuyu's words were well-reasoned. Little Taohong was deeply loved by the eldest young master, so she was naturally smart.

She said 'hmm'.

"You have a conscience."

"Don't worry, sister is not a petty person."

The favorability also changes from red to light green.

Shen Fuyu breathed a sigh of relief. Unless he had to, Shen Fuyu didn't want to be enemies with Xiao Taohong.

She skipped away.

Shen Fuyu didn't know why, maybe because he had grown smaller, his behavior had become very childish.

Xiao Taohong sat in the house, took a bite of the barbecue, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

The last trace of blame in my heart also dissipated.

It's getting late.

The stars gradually came out and the faint moonlight sprinkled on the road. Shen Fuyu simply washed up and then returned to the room.

"Heh!" Hong Zhu couldn't help but sneer when she saw Shen Fuyu coming back. "Some people are good at flattering others. Honest people like us naturally can't learn that. No wonder some people have won the master's favor in just seven days."

Then, Hong Zhu's eyes fell on Hong Xing who was standing beside her. "Hong Xing, you are really something. We have known each other for such a long time, and you actually ignored me for Shen Fuyu."
