Chapter 23 Get lost! Only your sister-in-law smells good!
With Su Wan's "god-level cement" and the incredibly tempting wages offered by the Qin family, the construction progressed at breakneck speed.
By lunchtime, the large iron pot in the Qin family's courtyard, big enough to cook two pigs, was already set up.
"Glug... Glug..."
Su Wan is in charge of cooking.
It's basically just taking those semi-finished products produced in the space farm and processing them a bit.
Even so, that's top-grade pork belly from [Heartbeat Farm]!
It is rich in dark soy sauce and has a bright red color.
The trembling, marbled pieces of braised pork belly tumbled in the pot. With each stir of the spatula, an overwhelmingly powerful aroma of meat, like a physical hook, ruthlessly pierced the noses of every working man, carried by the cold northwest wind.
"My goodness...this smells amazing!"
"Did the Qin family use some kind of mind-altering drug? Just the smell makes my soul wander!"
The workers were too tired to continue their work, and they all stretched their necks, the sound of their Adam's apples bobbing up and down like thunder.
"Dinner's ready!"
Qin Lie gave the order.
Dozens of strong men rushed toward the large pot like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
Each person has a large bowl of white rice topped with a generous spoonful of braised pork, the pork juices soaking into the rice grains, making them glisten with oil.
"Slurp—"
One bite, and the meat is stewed until tender and flavorful, fatty but not greasy, and lean but not dry.
"Waaaaah... I've never eaten such good meat in my life!"
Some men ate until tears streamed down their faces and fell into their bowls.
The Qin family's "big pot of food" is damn delicious!
……
Just as these men were engrossed in their meal, an incongruous figure appeared, swaying his hips.
She was still that pretty widow, Liu San Niang.
She was resentful after being humiliated by the third brother yesterday.
She refused to believe that there were any cats in this world that didn't steal fish, or any men who didn't love wildflowers.
It must be because there were so many people yesterday, and Qin Laosan felt embarrassed!
Today she specially changed into a padded jacket with a very low neckline, and applied a thick layer of rouge to her face. The cheap smell of her cosmetics could knock people over from three meters away.
She dared not provoke the cold-faced devil Qin Lie, nor did she dare to touch the smiling tiger Qin Yue.
Her goal was clear—it was still the seemingly simple-minded but energetic third brother, Qin Meng!
At this moment, Qin Meng had just finished eating three bowls of rice.
He was shirtless, and his muscular physique glowed reddish from a full meal, making one's legs weak just looking at him.
He was squatting by the well, preparing to wash the bowls he had licked clean.
"Oh dear, Third Master Qin, how could I let you do such rough work?"
Liu Sanniang seized the opportunity and slithered past like a beautiful snake.
She called out sweetly, then tilted her body, pretending to slip, and fell onto Qin Meng's back as he squatted down.
Those two clumps of white, sticky flesh were about to press against Qin Meng's broad, hot back!
"Let me help you wash... and while I'm at it, give you a back scrub?"
This move, "dribbling and charging," is her signature move.
Once it's applied, which man wouldn't be confused?
She underestimated Qin Meng's sensitivity and his aversion to "unusual smells".
Just as she was about to stick it on.
Qin Meng, who was washing dishes, suddenly twitched his nostrils twice.
A pungent, cheap, powdery smell mixed with the odor of hair oil instantly assaulted his nostrils.
"vomit--!"
Qin Meng seemed to smell some kind of biological poison gas, or like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Without even thinking, the body reacted instinctively!
"boom!"
With a sudden burst of power from his thick thigh, he sprang to the side like a spring, leaping three meters away!
"thump!"
Liu San Niang missed her target.
Not only did he fail to get any meat on his hands, but he also lost his momentum and fell headfirst into the dirty water basin that Qin Meng had just used to wash the dishes!
"Splash—"
The greasy dishwater splashed all over her, instantly ruining her rouge-covered face and turning her into a mess.
"Ouch! My back!" Liu Sanniang screamed as she lay on the ground.
Qin Meng didn't even glance at her.
He stood three meters away, his large, fan-like hand tightly covering his nose, his dark face filled with terror and disgust, as if he had just been smeared with a pile of excrement.
"What...what do you smell like?!"
Qin Meng roared in a deep, booming voice, loud enough to be heard throughout the entire courtyard:
"It smells like a rotten pickle jar that's been sitting around for half a month! It stinks to death! Get away from me! Don't stink me!"
"Hahaha—"
The workers who were eating burst out laughing.
A rotten pickled vegetable jar?
That Qin Laosan has a really sharp tongue!
Liu Sanniang lay on the ground, feeling ashamed and indignant, as if she wanted to die.
She spent a lot of money on this "osmanthus-scented powder," how did it turn into rotten pickled vegetables?!
"You...you don't understand romance! I was just trying to help you..." Liu Sanniang was still being stubborn.
"Who needs your help?"
Qin Meng's eyes widened, his face full of righteous indignation. "I have a sister-in-law! My sister-in-law smells of milk! She smells of flowers! What are you? Get out!"
Just then.
A graceful figure walked over.
Su Wan held a clean white handkerchief in her hand.
She saw everything.
Seeing that usually silly big guy, in order to remain chaste (even though he disliked the smell), actually manage to create afterimages, she felt incredibly satisfied.
"Third Brother."
Su Wan walked up to Qin Meng, her voice so gentle it could melt hearts.
When Qin Meng saw who it was, his fierce and menacing demeanor vanished instantly.
He stretched out his hand with a pitiful look, like a big dog that had been bullied outside:
"Sister-in-law... I almost got dirty. The smell was too strong, I was unclean."
"Nonsense, Third Brother is the cleanest."
Su Wan suppressed a laugh and stood on tiptoe.
She didn't mind that Qin Meng's hands still had some greasy residue, and used a handkerchief with a faint fragrance to carefully wipe his rough fingers one by one.
"call……"
Qin Meng took a deep breath.
That's the scent of my sister-in-law.
Sweet and pure, like gardenias after the rain.
This is the smell that humans should have! What kind of biological weapon was that just now?
Su Wan wiped very slowly.
Her fingertips lightly brushed across his calloused palms.
Qin Meng's muscles tensed up again, and his breathing became rapid.
My sister-in-law... is touching him.
He's standing up for him right in front of that wicked woman!
After wiping her hands, Su Wan turned around and looked down at Liu San Niang, who was still lying on the ground.
On that exquisitely beautiful face, there was no anger, only a faint composure and disdain befitting the empress.
"This lady."
Su Wan's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear and pleasant, "My third brother has a sensitive nose and can't stand the smell of inferior things. In the future... please stay away from him."
She paused, then, in front of dozens of people in the entire courtyard, reached out her small hand and gently tugged at Qin Meng's sleeve, declaring as if asserting her ownership:
"The smell of my third brother's sweat is a man's smell. Only I can smell it, and only I... don't mind it."
boom--!!!
This sentence completely blew Qin Meng's mind!
My sister-in-law said... he has a manly charm?
My sister-in-law said... only she can smell it?
Is this... is this what it means to keep him confined and raised?!
Qin Meng felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and he felt like he was about to explode.
He grabbed Su Wan's small hand in return, so excited he was incoherent:
"Yes! My sister-in-law is right! I... I'll let my sister-in-law smell it! No one else can do it!"
[Beep! Strong loyalty and territorial instincts detected!]
[Target: Qin Meng. Heart rate: 180 (He's my sister-in-law's dog for life!)]
[Bonus Critical Hit: Envy from surrounding workers +1000!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained "Pure Love Energy" in Heartbeat Farm!]
[Unlock Reward: Fully Automatic Oil Press Blueprint x1 (To make your cooking even more delicious)!]
Liu Sanniang watched this scene, looking at Qin Meng's infatuated look of "whatever my wife says is right", and then at Su Wan's flawless face.
She was completely humiliated.
This isn't just trying to steal someone's job; this is kicking a hornet's nest!
She covered her face and, amidst the laughter, scrambled out of the Qin family compound.
The whole village knew two things:
First, the Qin family's food is really good.
Secondly, the men of the Qin family are really difficult to deal with. Don't even think about taking advantage of them, unless you're fairer, more fragrant, and better at flirting than that Su family lady!
But... is that even possible?
