When Eldest Brother Guan brought the bowl to the burly man, Mother Rong added, “You’re our first customer, so we’ll give you more pig liver. I’ll cook as much as I can.”

The burly man was already very satisfied when he smelled the fresh fragrance.

However, when he saw the porridge that Eldest Brother Guan had put down, he frowned and muttered, “I don’t like lettuce. I forgot to ask you not to add it.”

Mother Rong said, “Food is all about nutritional balance. There should be a combination of meat and vegetables. Eating lettuce is especially good for the bodies of fiery men like you. You young men should eat more vegetables.”

Her tone was too much like his mother’s at home.

The burly man didn’t dare to speak. He mumbled, “Alright…”

With that, Mother Rong opened the steamer and took out a glutinous rice chicken. She placed it on a wooden plate and delivered it to the man.

Everyone was paying attention to the reaction of the burly man after he ate it. They wanted to find out if it was really tasty.

Women of various ages standing in the crowd had their eyes lit up after hearing the burly man’s words to the mean woman and seeing how he did not show any signs of impatience or anger after Mother Rong’s words.

The burly man stirred the pig liver and minced meat porridge with a wooden spoon twice before opening the lotus leaf. He did not eat a single bite.

In front of her, on the other side of the table, several excited women immediately sat down.

“You aren’t married yet, are you? Do you really earn two taels a month?”

“Your parents are healthy and can farm. Does that mean that you have a lot of fields at home?”

“Your parents are so good. You don’t even need to bring money home after receiving two taels a month. They are even providing you money every month?”

“Oh, your body is so firm and you’re tall. You’re not bad-looking either. Not bad!” an auntie said in satisfaction. She even pinched the burly man’s muscular arm. “I have a daughter! She’s just sixteen this year! She’s fair and beautiful. She’s not bad too! What’s your name? Why don’t you come with me now and see if you like my daughter?”

“I have a niece at home…”

“My daughter has just turned seventeen too. She knows embroidery the best. Her needlework is great…”

A group of aunties surrounded the burly man. Their voices sounded one after another, causing the burly man to be unable to eat the congee and glutinous rice chicken.

The burly man was speechless. “…”

When the crowd saw this scene, they were all amused. They looked at the burly man’s wooden table with smiles on their faces. He was just buying food, so why had it become a matchmaking festival?!

This group of women went forward and immediately tried to matchmake with the burly man. They even said that they had daughters. That burly man didn’t even have the time to eat. It was really too funny.

Women in Yuan City are fierce! They have good taste and act fast.

The atmosphere became harmonious. It was also amusing. Even Mother Rong did not expect this development and smiled as she watched.

Needless to say, this man’s conditions were really good in the heart of mothers. If both her daughters hadn’t married off, she would have been tempted as well. This man’s monthly salary was too high.

With the women’s actions, some people in the crowd didn’t expect this and became restless. Seeing that the burly man was about to be snatched away, the burly man replied with sweat covering his face, “Let me eat first! Otherwise, it’ll be cold! I spent nine copper coins on breakfast!”

“Let me have a taste. I’m starving!”

The expressions of the women changed again. The mothers-in-law who were looking for a son-in-law earlier were looking at him like how a biological mother would now. This young man’s appearance of complaining that he was too hungry and wanted to eat really made a mother happy and dote on him.
