Chapter 196 Before the New Year

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

When Madam 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? What a waste of such good wild boar meat. Where did the salt in this kitchen come from? Is it so cool?"

It's 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 bring salt crystals. One jar is enough for everyone in Zhuangzi to eat. It’s been a month and you’ve finished it in one meal. It’s strange that it’s not salty.”

After Mr. Du finished speaking, Luo Yuancai slapped his head and felt 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 determined not 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 deputy general 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 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 something 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 you been sleeping?"

"Half an hour."

"Then get up, or you won't sleep well at night."

Hearing this, Shang Ji helped her sit up, pulled out the arm she was holding under him, and shook it slightly.

A wave of numbness spread from the fingertips to the shoulder.

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

Seeing her young lady getting up, Yingtao spoke in a low voice.

"Young lady, take the medicine, it's just been boiled."

Du Jingyi had no choice, she didn't like taking medicine because it was bitter.

But there was no way to deal with the bitterness, this was specially prescribed by Doctor Wang, and she could only pinch her nose and drink it for the sake of the child.

Fortunately, this medicine will only take two or three days to finish.

Doctor Wang also said that you don't need to take it again after you finish it.

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

Took a deep breath and drank it gulply.

Finally, she had to endure the nausea until she had candied fruit in her mouth.

Shang Ji patted her back gently and asked her caringly.

"Are you okay?"

Du Jingyi pretended to pout and shook her head.

"No, this medicine is too bitter. My mouth has no taste after drinking it."

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

"Okay, next time when Doctor Wang comes, I'll ask him and prescribe you some medicinal food recipes. I see that you can't take medicine, but you never eat perfunctorily."

With one sentence, Cherry laughed.
