My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 196 Before the New Year

Okay, let's try it. It won't taste good when it gets cold.

When Mrs. Gu spoke, no one would refute her.

Luo Yuan also looked at everyone holding out their chopsticks with a happy face, waiting to hear the good comments.

As a result, Xing Zhao took the lead and vomited it out, then looked at Luo Yuan with a nose that was not a nose and a mouth that was not a mouth and asked.

What did you put in it? Is it so salty?

Is it salty? I just added a little salt.

Everyone else vomited out one after another, and drank the water or wine in front of them. Obviously, Xing Zhao was right.

Luo Yuan didn't believe in evil, so he took a piece and tasted it.

At first I was full of confidence, but in the end I vomited it in one bite.

He grabbed the wine bowl in front of Xing Zhao and started doing it regardless.

Then he said with a sad face.

What? Such good wild boar meat is wasted. Where did the salt in this kitchen come from? Is it so cool?

It is true that he didn't let it go much, but when he heard this, Mr. Du laughed.

His eyes rolled around and he asked.

What kind of jar is Deputy General Luo holding?

It was just a black jar in the corner. It didn't look like much, so I just spread it all over the meat and marinated it.

Hearing this, Mr. Du said dumbfounded.

That jar is made of salt crystals, which have not yet been melted for use. I was afraid that it was snowing heavily in Zhuangzi and I would not be able to go out to buy anything, so I had someone send salt crystals. One jar is enough for everyone in Zhuangzi to eat. It’s been a month and you’ve already finished it in one meal, so it’s weird if it’s not salty.”

After Mr. Du finished speaking, Luo Yuancai slapped his head, regretful.

When he went into the kitchen to get something, he saw that everyone was busy and didn't ask any questions.

It smelled like salt, so I took it and touched it.

Let me tell you, why is the salt on Zhuangzi so coarse? I thought everyone in your house likes to eat coarse salt.

Everyone burst out laughing after hearing Luo Yuan's explanation.

Xing Zhao sighed, patted his shoulder and said.

Brother Luo, please be more noble next time and don't harm this food. You said it's not easy for brothers to hunt wild boars. Now look at it, how are we going to eat it?

The meat was burnt last time, but this time it was marinated.

What else could Xing Zhao say?

But Luo Yuan was unwilling to give up.

He said while showing his strong white teeth and patting his chest.

Don't worry, everyone, I will go to the mountains to hunt another one and come back tomorrow. I promise to make a good meal for everyone!

The way he would never give up until he reached his goal made even Du Jingxiang laugh non-stop.

Even the atmosphere was not quite right, and Gu Xiaolang, who was feeling a little sad, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't help laughing.

Cherry's eyes rolled in her head no matter how many times.

Can this guy really be a lieutenant with such stupidity?

For the hundred and first time, she couldn't help but doubt!

Okay, okay, there aren't many living creatures in the back mountain. You've hunted enough today. If you go back tomorrow, I'm afraid there won't even be a single person breathing in this small half of the mountain next spring.

The fourth aunt said jokingly.

When she was still in the army, Luo Yuan had been following Shang Ji, but in her eyes he was still a young man.

So when she spoke, Luo Yuan did not refute, but just muttered something softly.

Next time, I will make it delicious!

It's snowing heavily outside, but the interior is as warm as ever.

After happily staying at Zhuangzi in Wuling for three days, everyone set off back to Sui'an City.

In a flash, the day has arrived on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

In Xitang Courtyard.

Du Jingyi nestled in Shang Ji's arms and slept particularly comfortably.

These days she has become a little fairy who has nothing to do.

Aunt Dou and Butler He take charge of the trivial matters at home, and they are basically settled before they even get to her.

And with Shang Ji here, things outside wouldn't bother her here.

But returning to leisure time is just a matter of time before the New Year.

After the Chinese New Year, after the Lantern Festival.

The General's Mansion has received seven or eight posts from people who want to have dinner as guests.

Everything else was fine, except for two that made Du Jingyi a little embarrassed and annoyed.

One, naturally, came from the Prince’s East Palace.

The date is set for the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, less than a month from now.

Du Jingyi didn't quite know why he was eating the noodles.

But the only thing he knew was that the people coming and going must be many relatives of the emperor, so Du Jingyi had to deal with it with all his strength.

Another post that bothered Du Jingyi came from the Wei family.

On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Wei Jialian was about to hold a hair-raising ceremony, so she invited all the powerful people in Sui'an city to watch the ceremony.

That appearance, that formation.

Just from the gold foil embedded in the sent posts, you can see how much they value it.

Shang Ji's hand that was pressed by her was numb, but he still didn't move because he was afraid of disturbing Du Jingyi's clear dream.

This winter afternoon nap is the most pleasant, so Shang Ji doesn't want to interfere with it.

With a crunch, the cherry came in from outside.

There was still steaming anti-fetal medicine in their hands. This was a prescription prescribed by Dr. Wang himself, so naturally they would not be careless.

Therefore, a bowl should be used at this time every day.

Du Jingyiren was not woken up, but was intoxicated by the smell of medicine.

She has always had a good nose.

After muttering, he looked at Shang Ji sleepily, and then asked.

How long have I been sleeping?

Half an hour.

Then you'd better get up, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well at night again.

Hearing this, Shang Ji helped her sit up, took out the arm that was pressed by her, and shook it slightly.

A numbness ran from the tips of his fingers to his shoulders.

But he didn't react at all, so Du Jingyi didn't notice.

When Cherry saw her young lady getting up, she spoke in a low voice.

Young Madam, please take the medicine. It has just been prepared.

Du Jingyi was helpless. She didn't like taking medicine because it was painful.

But there was nothing Ku could do. This was specially prescribed by Dr. Wang. For the sake of the child, she could only hold her nose and drink it down.

Fortunately, I only have two or three days left to finish the medicine.

Wang Yizheng also said that after eating, there is no need to eat again.

Therefore, Du Jingyi didn't complain much and reached out to take it.

He took a deep breath and drank it.

In the end, I had to hold back the nausea until I had candied fruit in my mouth.

Seeing this, Shang Ji patted her back gently and asked thoughtfully.

Are you ok?

Du Jingyi pretended to pout and shook his head.

No, this medicine is too bitter. After I drink it, there will be no taste in my mouth.

Seeing this, Shang Ji held her in his arms and said with a chuckle.

Okay, next time Dr. Wang is here, I will ask and prescribe some medicinal recipes for you. I see that you are not good at taking medicine, but you never hesitate to eat.

One sentence made Cherry laugh.
