Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 686: Chapter 680: Exchanging Subsidy for Small Dishes

Getting into a college in the Imperial Capital is not easy, and those who do cherish the opportunity greatly. Of course, some gain admission through their family connections, and they can’t compete with others on a level playing field.

Chu Molin never talked about his background, and he had been away from the Imperial Capital for a long time, so many people didn’t know him and assumed he came from a poor family. It wasn’t until they graduated and were assigned to work under Chu Molin that they were astonished.

Of course, they had no idea that this was their future group leader, otherwise, they would have started sucking up to him right away.

“Come on, Lei Xiao, even if you have a dog’s nose for smells, can you not stroke my ego like that? How about we compare our computer skills?” Fu Shuai really wanted to punch that guy. He didn’t know how to bury someone like that.

“No, no, I was wrong, but it really does smell amazing, it’s this.” Lei Xiao sniffed and followed the aroma, pointing at the food Chu Molin brought.

“Hey, hey, Chu Molin, what did you bring? It smells so good,” Lei Xiao asked Chu Molin while swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

...
“It’s a dish my wife made.” Chu Molin looked at the three pairs of big eyes staring at him, touched his nose and said.

“Could we taste your sister-in-law’s cooking?” Lei Xiao and Gong Wuyou, both foodies, immediately asked when they heard it was food.

“Um, if it’s possible, I’d like to try too.” Fu Shuai saw the other two asking, and hesitantly followed.

Chu Molin looked at the six eyes in front of him, feeling a bit helpless, as there was no way to refuse. So he picked up one of the bottles and opened it, “Well, have a taste.”

“Mmm, delicious.” Lei Xiao took a small bite with a spoon, as he had agreed to only taste it, and he didn’t want to dig in too much. But as soon as he tasted it, he regretted not taking more.

Hearing what he said, the other two snatched the spoon from him and had a mouthful each, and then both of them shouted in unison, “So, so good.”

“Hey, hey, Chu Molin, wait for us at mealtimes tomorrow, how about we trade some of your portion for our food allowance?” The three of them exchanged a glance before asking Chu Molin.

“No way, I only brought so little, and it’s not even enough for me. I can’t possibly share with you guys.” Chu Molin immediately refused, joking aside, this was specially made by his wife for him, he couldn’t let these brats benefit from it.

“Chu Molin, don’t be so stingy, look at what we eat in the cafeteria, we’re tired of it. Please show us some mercy, share some with us, we’ll really trade with our food allowance.” The three of them looked somewhat expectantly at the bottle in Chu Molin’s hand.

All three couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. The taste was simply amazing! They had never tasted anything so delicious, even Gong Wuyou, who had lived in the Imperial Capital, hadn’t. They needed to get their hands on it at all costs, after all, they weren’t short on money.

“If you want to trade, that’s fine, but from next week onwards. What I have now is for this week, and I feel like it’s not enough for myself. I can only spare one bottle for you guys, and then I’ll start bringing the ones you’ll trade your food allowance for next week.” Chu Molin thought about it as a source of income.

As long as he went home on the weekends and took care of the child, his wife could do the cooking. Anyway, Xue’er said she’d make it every week, so he might as well ask her to make more for him to bring. And the price should be high, of course.

“How much allowance do you want?” Gong Wuyou took out some money from the cabinet and asked.

“I don’t know yet, I have to go back and ask my wife first about the cost, and then I can give you an answer.

But let me be clear: you’ve tasted it, and you know how good it is, so the price won’t be cheap.” Chu Molin gave them a subtle warning ahead of time, so they wouldn’t accuse him of cheating later.
