Hearing a male voice coming from her side, Xu Xiang raised her eyes and saw the middle-aged officer staring at her soup. Seeing him swallowing his saliva, she rolled her eyes at him.
"Sir, didn't I give you the gold leaf this morning? Why are you here again?" She asked as she took the hot earthen jar out of the fire.
The officer glanced at her and said, "I just came to see what you cooked. Why are you so hostile?"
If she believed him, she must be an idiot. She ignored him and took the roasted chestnuts out of the fire with a twig. Seeing the pile of roasted chestnuts, he said, "Young lady, you still have something else? Give me some."
Before he could get his hand on those roasted chestnuts, she slapped his hand away and said, "There's nothing free in this world. If you want my roasted chestnuts, exchange them with bowls or spoons."
"So stingy! You wait here. I'll get you some bowls and spoons." As he spoke, he walked away sullenly.
