Chapter 73: Beauty Standart

Chapter 73: Beauty Standart Looking at his wife, Fu Chen’an said seriously, "Yao Zhi, I’m your Husband. It’s normal for you to ask for my help, and it’s my responsibility and my right to help you. Your health is not good. When I’m at home, you don’t have to do these tiring tasks."

Meeting his gaze, Yao Zhi could only nod. "Okay."

Looking at his wife’s chin, Fu Chen’an thought of her previously double chin and said, "Wife, you should eat more and gain some weight. Looking at how thin you are now, I’m really worried."

Yao Zhi was stunned by his words. She looked at her own body and thought that her figure was good now. She was around 55 to 60 kilograms.

Compared to other women who only weighed 40 to 45 kilograms, she could be considered overweight and was living well. After all, everyone only eats one or two meals a day and rarely has meat.

It was normal for her to like her own body, but this was the first time she had met a man who didn’t dislike her plump figure.

While she was currently living in an ancient era, this world’s beauty standards were similar to those of the modern era, which prefer slim, slender figures rather than healthy or chubby figures.

She looked at the man in front of her for a long time before she asked, "Husband, you don’t feel that I’m ugly and fat?"

Hearing this, Fu Chen’an frowned and asked, "Who said that to you? My wife is very beautiful."

Noticing his anger, Yao Zhi asked doubtfully, "You really think that I’m beautiful? Even when I’m overweight?"

"My wife is always beautiful, no matter how you look. Also, you are not overweight; you are blessed. Whoever says otherwise needs a beating."

When she heard his words, a smile appeared on Yao Zhi’s face. "So, you like me?" she asked.

The moment he heard this, Fu Chen’an was stunned. He averted his gaze and stammered, "W-well, we have been engaged since we were young. I always knew that you and I would get married and spend the rest of our lives together. So, of course, I like you."

Yao Zhi lowered her gaze as she heard this. She didn’t know why, but she felt jealous of the original owner. To be loved by someone as good as this man, she was truly lucky. Unfortunately, she didn’t realize her good luck and ended up dying young.

Noticing his wife’s sudden change in mood, Fu Chen’an asked, "Wife, what’s wrong?"

Yao Zhi was pulled out of her thoughts and shook her head. She smiled and said, "It’s nothing."

Seeing that his wife didn’t want to talk about it, Fu Chen’an didn’t insist. With his help, Yao Zhi felt much less tired. For breakfast, she prepared a pot of minced meat and vegetable porridge and a bowl of steamed egg. The rest of the minced meat she made into an all-purpose meat sauce.

This meat sauce not only uses a lot of oil, spices, chili, green onions, and mushrooms, it was also added with fermented black beans.

The fermented black beans were bought from the System Shop for 5 points per jar. She used the whole jars and stored the empty glass jars in her system storage. When the meat sauce cooled down, she stored it in a clean earthen jar.

Fu Chen’an observed her from the side and noticed that his wife added several things he had never seen before. While he was unsure about what items were available in other countries, he was certain that most of the things she used were unheard of.

Reaching this conclusion, his gaze toward his wife changed. ’Wife, who are you exactly?’ he thought inwardly. Not noticing her husband’s suspicion, Yao Zhi scooped a little of the meat sauce with a bamboo spoon and brought it to his lips.

"Husband, try this meat sauce," she said with a smile.

The fragrance of the meat sauce made Fu Chen’an salivate instantly. He glanced at the dark meat sauce and tasted it. As he savored the flavor, his eyes lit up. The sauce was rich and fragrant, perfect to eat with noodles, buns, or rice.

Seeing that he liked it, Yao Zhi asked, "Husband, when are you returning to the barracks?"

Hearing this, Fu Chen’an’s good mood vanished. He looked at her and asked, "Wife, why did you suddenly ask this? You don’t want me to stay home longer?"

Yao Zhi was confused by his mood swings and said, "I saw that you like this meat sauce. So, I want to prepare more for you to take to the barracks. With this sauce, you can add meat to your meals and keep your nutrition balanced."

"This sauce can’t be stored for long, so you have to finish it in a few days. I will send more when you finish it," she added.

Before, she could deliver lunch to the barracks because the General wasn’t around. Now that the war had ended, the General would return, and the rules would be much stricter. It wouldn’t be easy for her to visit him anymore.

Since she couldn’t send meat dishes directly, she could only let him take the meat sauce with him.

Realizing his wife’s intention, Fu Chen’an smiled and said, "I still have two more days before I have to return."

Yao Zhi nodded and made a note of it in her heart.

After the brief conversation, the two of them had breakfast in the kitchen. Afterward, Fu Chen’an went out to invite the Village Chief and his friends for lunch.

At the same time, Yao Zhi used 5 kilograms of pork belly to make braised pork. She stored the rest of the meat and pork innards in her system storage.

Besides braised pork, she also prepared bone soup with white cabbage, smashed cucumber salad, and stir-fried mushrooms. As the staple food, she made steamed buns.

Since white flour was considered expensive in this era, she mixed coarse flour into the dough so people wouldn’t be suspicious.
