My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Jin Weiwei orders Little Rich to fetch 15 kilograms of pork, as doctor Jia requires, from the meat-shop and packs all the sausages left. Meanwhile, Tao Xiaoqing is arranged to take care of the meat-shop all by himself in the afternoon. However, this time Jin Weiwei hastens Little Rich to make sausages with her. Usually, all the work of making sausages, from chopping meat to putting these meat gruel into the casting, is done by herself without any help of Little Rich.

The reason why she lets him stay is that she wants him to be her mate doing some trivial work like wiping her sweat or getting her something she needs when she makes sausages. Out of her expectation, Little Rich volunteers to help her chopping the meat. The skills of making sausage is the secret recipe handed down from the ancestors of Jin’s family, which contains lots of knowledge in every process of making sausages, from the meat selection to the unique ingredients, among which chopping meat is regarded as the most important process requiring not only the great stamina but also the extraordinary chopping skills of the cook. Fortunately, though Jin Weiwei is a girl, she was born with great strength. Therefore, the secret recipes of Jin’s Sausage haven’t been lost in the generation of Jin Weiwei. However, though hard-working she is, chopping meat will exhaust her, making her arms getting numb and her waist ache greatly. It is unbearably exhausting.

“You? chop the meat?”says Jin Weiwei wearing an unbelievable expression. “I can learn!” Saying that, Little Rich rolls up his sleeves, starting to work. Little Rich has been changed completely. In the past, he had no intention to work. If he has to work in the meat-shop, accounting is his only choice. Now, he wants to learn not only skills of cooking , but also skills of making sausages. “Since he wants to learn making sausages, I try to teach him and give him a small piece of meat to chop.” Jin Weiwei thinks, selecting two large pieces of meat and putting them on the chopping board. “You chop these two pieces first.” The moment she stops talking, Little Rich splits one piece of meat in two.

Jin Weiwei can’t help chucking and says, “Excellent Kongfu! My young master! But I am asking you to chop the meat but not to kill!” Hearing that, Little Rich frowns, holding the knife in his hand with hesitation. “You should slice the meat, cut it into strips and dice. You can start to chop it until you have done all the work I mentioned above.” Picking up a piece of meat near the chopping board, Jin Weiwei makes an example by chopping that piece of meat. Little Rich looks at her chopping carefully, and puts down the knife without any words.

“What’s up? I didn’t blame you. I know you know nothing about cooking. I am teaching you right now! How can you be angry with me and stop learning?” Jin Weiwei is confused. However, Little Rich didn’t mean that. He turns around and takes a sharp deboning knife. “What are you going to do with that? I have already told you that this debonding knife cannot be used to chop meat! It is the kitchen knife that can be used to chop! How should I tell you….”

All at once Little Rich keeps on cutting that meat using the debonding knife. A moment later, that large piece of meat has become dice. “Then?” Little Rich gives Jin Weiwei a shove with his elbow. “And… and… and then you begin to chop.” Jin Weiwei is shocked, and continues, “Chop it hardly! Chop it into several small slice so that it can absorb the soup. Meanwhile, the dice cannot be too small. It won’t taste good.”Says Jin Weiwei, standing aside with her eyes opened wide. Just now, the skill of Little Rich impressed her. Sure enough, it seems that Little Rich knows Kufu and is excelled in playing knife.

Little Rich, understanding Jin Weiwei’s words, nods his head. Instead of using the debonding knife, he picks up two kitchen knives so that he can chop the meat quickly by using two at the same time. Usually, Jin Weiwei has to spend a lot of time in chopping meat. However, Little Rich finishes it easily and fast as if playing. “How about that?” asks Little Rich, lifting up a handful of chopped meat for checking. There, the meat chopped by Little Rich is as small and distinct as sand, much better than that chopped by herself.

Jin Weiwei can’t help but raise a thumb-up sign and praises, “Excellent! You are a genius! It’s unbelievable that you are so skilled at that! I didn’t marry the wrong person. You are suitable for you position — a son-in-law of the family owing a meat-shop. We can carry on and broaden our business by your capability.” Hearing that, Little Rich lowers his head with a small, unobtrusive smile and curls up his thin lips. So, from then on, Little Rich is responsible for chopping meat, while Jin Weiwei accounts for the ingredients and stuffing sausages. This couple cooperates perfectly, which shortens the working time greatly. Within six hours, all the sausages ordered by Dr. Jia have been made.

“Well, you send these sausages to the county first. Tomorrow, I will make the other sausages by myself.” Jin Weiwei packs these sausages carefully, and asks Little Rich to send them as soon as possible. Out of her expectation, Little Rich, instead of sending these sausages, gets the package, puts it aside, and continues chopping the meat. It is so confusing that sometimes he obeys the order while sometimes he disobeys. Thinking that, Jin Weiwei says angrily, “My foot has just recovered, and Xiaoqing is still in the meat-shop. Who else can send the sausages?” Chopping the meat, Little Rich replies, “I will go after finishing my work.” It turns out that he plans to send these sausages after finishing chopping the meat.

Jin Weiwei starts sniggering. The truth is that Little Rich is afraid of overworking herself. He always says nothing about the truth and makes others guess. “All right. You can send the sausages after chopping the meat. But I am afraid it will be dark at that time. Be careful!.” Jin Weiwei can’t help talking a lot. These endless caring words make Jin Weiwei just like a wife worrying about the safety of her late-coming husband. Thinking that, she takes a stealthy look at Little Rich. He is so handsome and talented. If their false marriage becomes true, she loses nothing but earn a big deal! Thinking of this, a blush comes over her face. Jin Weiwei, fearing her shyness is arrested by Little Rich, turns away. Unexpectedly, Dr. Jia comes to the meat-shop three days after the sausages are sent to his home.

Warmly greeting Dr Jia, now an important customer of her meat-shop, Jin Weiwei leads him to her room where he sits on the seat of honor. “Miss Jin, thanks for your kindness and politeness. We have already been friends and our friendship will last long if we do business together.” Smiling, Dr Jia takes a cup of tea from Jin Weiwei. “That’s reasonable! In the future, please bring more orders to my meat-shop.” Says Jin Weiwei. “Of course. That’s what I want to say.”Says Dr. Jia. Jin Wewei is confused about his words and thinks, “What does that mean? Bring orders to Dr. Jia? He is a doctor. Did he curse me just now?” Then, she asks, “what do you mean? Dr. Jia. You are a doctor!” Says Jin Weiwei with an awkward but polite smile on her face.
