Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

0With so many dumplings, Shen Jingli asked the people in the kitchen to steam one part of the dumplings, cook another part, and leave another part to be frozen. When he felt like eating, he would bring it out to boil.    

    

The people in the kitchen were nimble. After a while, the dumplings were placed on the stove and steamed. The hot water for cooking the dumplings had already been boiled. The white and fat dumplings were put into the boiling water.    

    

The kitchen maid first served the warm room's master and guests, then had the servant maidservant send them over. After the master and guests had eaten, she gave a small bowl to everyone in the kitchen, including the people working outside.    

    

In order to cater to everyone's tastes, Shen Jingli had the kitchen's master mix all kinds of sauce, sweet peanut butter, sesame paste, chili sauce, etc.    

    

After eating dumplings and drinking hot dumpling soup, he sat inside the house and chatted for a while about this year's harvest. It was truly comfortable.    

    

"Sister-in-law, this chili sauce is pretty good. Just get someone to fill two bottles for me and bring them back later." Yang Ningxin said to Shen Jingli as she was eating the dumplings.    

    

The hot dumplings' outer skin had been blown a little cold, but once she bit into it, the soup inside immediately made her grimace and frown. However, she still ate happily, it was really painful and happy.    

    

Hearing her words, Shen Jingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that the reason she came to his house was to go back with everything he had, and he wanted to bring everything back with his.    

    

"The manor has collected quite a lot of chilies this year. In a while, let the Nanny Jin carry a few kilograms for you. Go back and make yourself some chilli sauce." Shen Jingli said.    

    

Hearing this, Yang Ningxin raised her head in a daze and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how to make chili sauce."    

    

Her small face was creased, and her eyes were red from being wronged.    

    

Seeing her cute appearance, the people at the side couldn't help but laugh. Yang Ningtian unhappily patted the back of her head and said: "Sister-in-law is joking with you, are you serious?"    

    

How could he have such a stupid cousin? How embarrassing.    

    

"You lied to me?" She widened her eyes and innocently raised her head. She then let out a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, don't scare me, I really will bring her back. I did it myself."    

    

She had already thought about it. After making the chili sauce, she would sell it in her snack bar. The chili sauce made by her sister-in-law tasted unique. It was different from the chili sauce on the market. It would definitely be popular.    

    

The little girl giggled like a mouse that had just eaten a meal. Her cheeks were red and puffed up, making her look very cute.    

    

Everyone ate a small bowl of dumplings, about half full, and the kitchen brought in the freshly steamed dumplings.    

    

"Fresh steamed dumplings, everyone eat them while they're still hot." Sister-in-law Chen carried the dumplings to the table and said to the crowd.    

    

Xinmei followed behind her like a small tail, excitedly saying, "Mother, mother, I want to eat my own food."    

    

The dumplings that had just been cooked were all filled in bowl after bowl, so no one dared to go through other people's bowls to see if they were wrapped by themselves. The steamed dumplings were arranged one by one on the plate.    

    

"Me too, I want to eat my own bag." Hearing Xinmei's words, Yang Ningxin immediately started shouting, afraid that others would not know what she was thinking.    

    

Yang Ningtian's sharp eyes could immediately tell that Yang Ningxin's dumpling, which was huge and triangular, had been wrapped. He quickly pointed at it and said, "Quick, look, your dumpling, which was wrapped by you, did not steam up. The chefs also spent a lot of effort to cook it."    

    

"What nonsense are you talking about? My bag is so good, how can it be broken?" Yang Ningxin pouted and quickly stuffed a dumpling into Yang Ningtian's mouth.    

    

The moment the hot dumplings touched his lips, it made Yang Ningtian cry out immediately. He immediately spat out the hot dumplings and fanned his lips with his hands, jumping up randomly.    

    

Seeing this, Yang Ningxin lowered her head guiltily, her hands anxiously grabbing at her clothes.    

    

Shen Jingli quickly got someone to apply a wet handkerchief to him, and then gave him some soy sauce to wipe it off.    

    

Fortunately, he had not yet bit open the dumpling skin, and it was only slightly scalded by the heat coming from the steamer. The situation was not serious at all.    

    

Yang Ningtian caressed his slightly swollen lips, looked at Yang Ningxin coldly and turned away, ignoring her.    

    

"Sixth Brother, don't be angry, I didn't do it on purpose." Seeing that Yang Ningtian was ignoring her, Yang Ningxin tried to curry favor with him as he pulled his sleeves.    

    

"Humph!" Yang Ningtian snorted, and took off his clothes from her hands, still ignoring her.    

    

Yang Ningxin became even more anxious, and walked around Yang Ningtian. Seeing her anxious look, Yang Ningtian finally felt better, but she still pretended to be aloof and ignored her.    

    

Mu Chen sat beside Shen Jingli and stuffed a dumpling with leek and egg stuffing into his bowl. He blew it to cool off and then fed it to Xun Er, who was in his embrace, to eat.    

    

Being served by his father, Xun Er was very happy, in a while he would want this kind of stuffing, and in a while he would want that stuffing. Mu Chen was also very patient, he only wanted that kind of stuffing, and if he took a bite of that and didn't like it, he would help him eat it.    

    

He shook his little feet in his tiger shoes, and his cheeks bulged like a cute little frog's.    

    

"Dad, you eat too." After eating eighty percent of his full, Xun Er finally remembered his father who had put in a lot of effort. He used his spoon to shakily scoop a dumpling for Mu Chen.    

    

When Mu Chen looked at his son's serious expression, he could not help but curl his lips. When he ate that dumpling, he felt that it was extremely fragrant.    

    

"When Xun Er grew up, he already knew how to pity your father." The Sister-in-law Chen laughed happily and gave Shen Jingli a dumpling, "Jinglee, you should eat more too."    

    

"Thank you, sister-in-law."    

    

After eating dumplings, everyone gathered in the warm room to drink tea and chat. Xun Er and Nannan, this pair of cousins, had not seen each other for a long time.    

    

Shen Jingli let Nian Hua and Jin Yu take them to the children's room to play, then turned back and chatted with Yang Ningxiu and the others.    

    

"Aren't you going home today?" Shen Jingli sat beside Zhao Wenrui and asked.    

    

"At night." In the morning, he also mentioned this to Xu Yanlin, but Xu Yanlin said that the Mu Chen family's food was better. After eating lunch, he brought the dumplings and wine over, to which he truly felt helpless.    

    

"Xu Yanlin said so." Once he knew that it was that guy's idea, he would come to their house every day to eat under all sorts of flags.    

    

Zhao Wenrui laughed, and considered to be tacit agreement.    

    

laughed, then sat over and told him about the high heels.    

    

"So you were the one who thought of those high heels?" Zhao Wenrui looked at Shen Jingli in shock.    

    

Shen Jingli was a little embarrassed from being stared at. Zhao Wenrui's gaze seemed to be asking him, why does he know so much about women's thoughts?    

    

"High-heeled shoes are currently being sold very well. Even the ladies and mistresses of ordinary merchants are fighting to order them." Yang Ningxiu was happy that her heels were sold well, but at the same time, she was also worried, "Sister-in-law, it is indeed a good thing that these heels are sold well, but I am worried that before long, there will be other merchants selling high heels on the market."    

    

Many merchants were basically in a state of half rest. Even if they were to sell their red-eyed high heels, they would not immediately go through the trouble. However, after the new year, when spring came, there would definitely be many people who would follow the trend and do the same thing. After all, the style of high heels was over there, and if you asked the workers who specialized in making shoes to study it, they would be able to copy it.    

    

"Before they follow the trend, let's open up our brands. As long as our high heels occupy the market, unless the quality is especially good and the style is especially novel, they won't be able to get much of the market."    

    

Once new things became popular, there would be people who would immediately take over the market. This was undeniable. A shopping mall was like a battlefield; no one would care about your feelings and not earn money.

Yang Ningxiu nodded, she could only do so for now.    

    

"..."    

    

Mu Chen, Xu Yanlin, Mu Jing and Mu Yu were playing chess and chatting in the study.    

    

"Let me think about it." Mu Yu played with a chess piece, he frowned and thought.    

    

The waiter brought in the freshly brewed Pu'er tea, placed it on the tea table, and quietly left.    

    

Mu Jing handed the tea over to Mu Yu, who took it and took a sip, placed it at the side and continued pondering.    

    

Seeing him in this state, Mu Jing couldn't help but laugh and say to Xu Yanlin in a low voice, "Thirteenth Brother's chess skills have never changed in the past ten or so years."    

    

They were both so bad, and his chess pieces were even worse. He would have to think about it for a long time every move, and sometimes even regret his actions. Luckily, the Fourteenth Brother was patient, if it was him, he would not play.    

    

"Only husband Zi An has the patience to play chess with him." Xu Yanlin replied.    

    

Mu Jing nodded in agreement. He sincerely admired Fourteenth Brother, he only needed a few hours to play a game of chess with Thirteenth Brother.    

    

"Brother Thirteen, if you're not in the mansion today, won't Eldest Young Madam and Eldest Uncle be angry?" Mu Jing drank a cup of tea and asked curiously.    

    

"What are they angry about?" The Nanping County Prince Palace was only a few steps away from the Marquis' Mansion. If you have anything to say, just send someone over to call for him.    

    

"Then what about Ceng Wan'er?" Because the Zeng family had annulled their engagement with Mu Chen and had instead married Mu Yu, Mu Jing did not have a good impression of his, and was unwilling to call her Sister-in-law.    

    

"What do I have to do with her?" Mu Yu replied indifferently, and finally decided on a move.    

    

You and her are husband and wife. What do you mean by relationship? Mu Jing curled his lips, and did not say these words out loud.    

    

Mu Yu played chess with Mu Chen for an entire day. Only when Mu Yu was satisfied, did he finally return home happily.    

    

On the other hand, Xu Yanlin and Mu Jing had long since been unable to endure their leisurely discussion of chess skills. They chatted for a while in the study room before returning. When he left, he even brought along a lot of dumplings and sauces.    

    

"..."    

    

In the afternoon, Shen Jingli and the Nanny Jin were counting the spicy sauce in the warehouse, preparing to ask the Sister-in-law Chen to bring some back for them to eat.    

    

Shen Jingli did not expect the spicy sauce to be so popular. There were not many that were made initially, but after Yang Ningxin and Xu Yanlin took some each, there were only two or three jars left in the house. He let Nanny Jin take one jar for Sister-in-law Chen's family, while he kept the other two jars for her family to eat.    

    

"Madam, Lord Cha sent someone to deliver a batch of medicinal materials a few days ago. Do you want to take a look as well?" Nanny Jin said to Shen Jingli who was still checking, while holding the jar of chili sauce she was preparing for Sister-in-law Chen.    

    

"Oh, when did it happen?" Lord Cha was an honest and friendly merchant. Ever since the two of them started working together in the peanut oil business, he would take care of his other business from time to time. Even if there was good stuff, he would first ask for it from him before selling it to other merchants.    

    

"Just a few days ago, they said that they were medicinal ingredients from the south, and a few of them were for body nourishment."    

    

"Where?"    

    

Nanny Jin pointed to the shelves on the side, where there were many sealed medicinal ingredients, there were Lingzhi, ginseng, winter insect and summer grass, there were even 3, 7, and 5 fingered peach. Shen Jingli looked at them, then suddenly opened one of the bags, and took out the medicinal ingredients inside.    

    

"This is …" "Turmeric?"    

    

Nanny Jin looked over and nodded: "It's Jiang Huang."    

    

Shen Jingli's mouth raised into a smile, and said: "Bring out some ginger, coriander seeds, cinnamon, chili, white pepper, little fennel, and some octagonal. I have been researching how to make curry for a few days, if I were to find out, it would be possible to make curry rice."    

    

Shen Jingli had heard of this method before, but he had never actually used it before, so he dared not guarantee that he would be able to do it.    

    

"Alright." Regarding Shen Jingli's decision, Nanny Jin never asked about the reason.
