Dinner was hot pot and two roasted pheasants.
The pheasant skin is crispy, tender and juicy.
The hot pot dishes are rich and extremely delicious.
Even though the Marquis was well-informed, he was also fascinated by these two foods.
"Do you usually eat this?" Mr. Hou couldn't believe it.
He thought it was already difficult for farmers to have enough to eat, but who knew, the food would be even better than that of the Marquis.
Although it is not as exquisite as the food in Hou Mansion, it is better because of its novel taste and fresh ingredients.
"I don't eat it often!" Xu Zhengxiang quickly explained.
"Yes!" the old lady said, "You will get tired of eating this often. We always eat it in different ways, such as braised rabbit meat, braised fish, eel noodles, wild roe deer stewed with dried bamboo shoots..."
She listed a dozen kinds of food like a treasure trove, all of which the Marquis had never eaten before.
After hearing this, the Marquis was speechless and said dissatisfiedly: "I thought my wife was having a hard time here, so I couldn't wait to come here and wanted to take my wife and granddaughter back. Who would have thought that you are so happy here that you don't miss Shu!"
The old lady was also happy when she heard this.
"It doesn't matter whether I like Shu or not. Let me tell you, as long as my granddaughter is there, even if she eats bran, I still think it is a fairyland."
The old lady said, took a fish ball and put it in Mr. Hou's bowl.
The fish balls are made by the girls beating salted fish meat. They are very chewy. They are rolled in the hot pot and served with special dipping sauce. They are very delicious in the mouth.
Mr. Hou had a great time eating.
"Yeah, this way of eating is worthy of being promoted across the country. When I return to the capital, I want the Holy Emperor to try the hot pot developed by my granddaughter!"
Balls of heat rose, and a big pot was set up in the Xiao family's yard. A dozen guards gathered around the big pot to eat hot pot.
Although the weather is getting colder, everyone is sweating.
They looked at each other and saw a look of satisfaction in each other's eyes.
…
According to the plan, Mr. Hou planned to take the old lady back directly after arriving.
On the way here, he even said harshly: Regardless of whether his wife agrees or not, she must return to the capital with him.
Who would have thought that plans could not change quickly.
That night, the Marquis changed his mind and planned to stay for a few days before leaving.
Although the old Marquis was born into a wealthy family, he was not that particular.
He also slept on grass and lived in caves when he was marching. At that time, he was always on tenterhooks, always afraid of enemy sneak attacks, and basically never had a good night's sleep.
So that night at Xiao's house, he had a good rest and got up as soon as dawn.
He walked out, ready to enjoy the leisure time. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Doctor Pei boxing in the backyard.
Doctor Pei, who was boxing, was wearing a white silk gown and trousers. His movements were slow but powerful. Facing the rising sun, he had a somewhat immortal air.
The old lady also came out and saw that Mr. Hou was seeing Dr. Pei, so she walked up and said, "Doctor Pei is very diligent. He is a doctor, but his muscles and bones are very well cultivated."
After hearing this, the Marquis touched his slightly protruding belly, feeling a little embarrassed.
I remember when he fought on the battlefield and became a man of bronze skin and iron bones.
It was only when he got older and the court became more stable in the past few years that he relaxed his body and mind and became lazy.
Looking at the muscular physique of Divine Doctor Pei, the Marquis became suspicious: Does Madam dislike my fat body?
At this moment, Divine Doctor Pei had finished a set of punches, stopped his stance, and walked towards the two of them.
"Master Marquis, Madam!" Pei Shu clasped his fists.
"Shen Pei has great medical skills," said the Marquis.
"Master Hou, thank you!" Doctor Pei wiped the sweat from his face and said quickly: "I am just showing off my skills, Master Hou is the real Kungfu!"
These words sounded pleasant to the ears, and the Marquis couldn't help but nodded.
But the old lady said: "He hasn't practiced his real kung fu for who knows how long. His current skills may not be as good as those of a miracle doctor."
What?
Madam actually thinks that he is not as good as a doctor?
The Marquis felt insulted.
The more serious problem is that my wife did not like Dr. Pei before because it was too difficult to hire him. My wife once said that Dr. Pei was arrogant because of his talent.
But just a short while later, the lady actually helped Pei Shu speak.
When the Marquis looked at Divine Doctor Pei again, he could not help but feel a little scrutinized.
"I don't think Divine Doctor Pei's skills are just fancy tricks. Why don't we two try it out?"
"What?"
Doctor Pei picked his ears. He thought he heard wrongly.
"The miracle doctor refuses to reward me?" the Marquis said again.
Only then did Divine Doctor Pei realize that he had heard correctly.
But why?
He is just an ordinary person with some medical skills, and he also practices boxing to strengthen his body.
He, the Marquis of Ding'an, actually wanted to quarrel with him?
Do you think you look down upon him too much, or...
Doctor Pei suddenly thought of a possibility:
Did he offend the Marquis unintentionally?
But it shouldn’t be!
How long has it been since he returned to the capital?
How could you offend Mr. Hou?
Before Divine Doctor Pei could sort out his thoughts, he suddenly heard the Marquis say again: "If Divine Doctor Pei is unsure, you can use this bamboo pole as a weapon. We will stop it as long as you touch me." I lost, how about that?"
Doctor Pei subconsciously took the bamboo pole and said without thinking: "I'm not used to weapons, so it's better to use bare hands."
The prince's expression changed after hearing this.
OK! This Pei Shu asked him to get a weapon, but he actually wanted to fight him with his bare hands.
You love to express yourself so much, right?
"Okay, since Divine Doctor Pei is so confident, we won't use weapons and just fight with our bare hands."
"No, that's not what I meant!"
Doctor Pei was anxious to explain.
I've never used weapons before, I don't know how to use them at all!
But it was useless what he said, because the Marquis had already taken a few steps forward, and after standing firm, he made a gesture of invitation.
Doctor Pei had no choice but to step forward.
This time it's really a rush to get it on the shelves, it won't work if it doesn't.
After all, the Marquis is a military commander. Even if he hasn't used a sword or a gun for a long time, he will be fierce when he takes action.
When Doctor Pei saw this posture, he even forgot the moves he usually practiced.
He retreated continuously and was forced to the limit within a few moves.
Just as Lord Marquis was about to attack, Doctor Pei turned around to dodge, but without noticing, his heel hit a stone, causing him to stumble and reach his waist.
"Hey!"
Divine Doctor Pei screamed.
