Mrs. He hurriedly brought a few maids to serve the food. Oden was served in a large pot with all kinds of meat and vegetables, so she paired it with some simple side dishes.
The maids quickly served the dishes to the masters, and as soon as the oden was put into the bowls, they were handed to the masters.
Both Cheng Wenwen and Qi Qi were half full, but they were not in such a hurry. On the contrary, Qi Shuo and Qi Xing started to eat as soon as they got the bowls.
"Your cook here is very skilled." Qi Shuo still managed to maintain his dignity and did not lose his composure like Qi Xing.
Qi Xing glanced at his father and took some of it away.
Mrs. He smiled and replied: "This is not made by the cook, but by our ladies."
"oh?"
Qi Shuo was a little surprised. Logically speaking, most of these wealthy ladies were raised in high status and were not good at cooking. However, Mrs. Cheng actually knew how to cook and her cooking skills were quite good.
She is his wife, so it is great that she can have this skill. It seems that besides being timid, she still has many advantages.
He continued to praise: "My young lady likes to prepare dishes on weekdays. If the general likes it, he can often come over to have a meal together."
Cheng Wenwen felt bad when she heard this. Why did her hand hidden under the table pull He's dress?
He stammered and shut up. She still didn't understand why the young lady was so repulsive to the general when he was so good-looking. Maybe it was because her daughter was shy.
Qi Shuo didn't see the restless movements under Cheng Wenwen's hands, and he was very willing to come here to eat together, so he nodded along with He's words: "Yes!"
When Cheng Wenwen heard this, she felt wary. Wouldn't she have to see him every day?
"General, aren't you busy?"
Didn't it mean that Qi Shuo wouldn't come back for several months? Why are you so relaxed at home lately?
Qi Shuo said: "The army has been peaceful recently and I am not busy. I can accompany you."
Cheng Wenwen thought bitterly: You'd better be busy! I don't need your company!
But on the surface, she could only force a smile.
Qi Shuo raised his eyes and saw that her left hand seemed to be able to move, and asked, "Is the injury fully healed?"
It's been more than two months, and it should be almost healed.
But Cheng Wenwen quickly denied: "It still hurts a little, as long as my wrist can move."
Qi Shuo hummed. Since her injury was not healed, there was no rush to get married.
It was just that Qi Shuo was afraid that she would be impatient. The woman had no status and no confidence in the house, so Qi Shuo said a few more words to her: "I have asked Wu Niang to arrange all the necessary things for the marriage. I will leave you free later." Take a look, if you’re not satisfied with anything, just mention it.”
A wealthy young lady who married into this small border town meant she was marrying down, and Qi Shuo couldn't afford to wrong her materially.
When Cheng Wenwen heard about the marriage, her face froze. The general was really anxious about his feelings.
Why do I feel like I'm being pushed to get married every time I see him? What a distress!
"Everyone listens to the general."
Qi Shuo saw her eyes lowered with a meek look on her face, and was afraid that she would be too shy to ask, so he raised his head and said to the mother beside her: "You young ladies are young and don't understand much about marriage. You should worry more and come to Wu Niang if you need anything."
When Mrs. He heard the general's instructions, she felt happy. It was obvious that the general had put the young lady at ease.
"General, don't worry, I will do my best to take care of it."
With the general's words, He went to Wu Li with much more confidence.
Whenever she and Qi Shuo sit down to eat together, Cheng Wenwen always eats a little uneasily.
As for Qi Shuo, every time he came to eat in her courtyard, he felt satisfied in his stomach and his impression of Mr. Cheng became better and better.
Obviously, this time, the adoptive father carefully chose a good wife for him.
She is docile and courteous, good at craftsmanship and hard-working. She is not as squeamish as the young lady from a wealthy family in my impression. She also gets along well with the two brats. Although she sometimes feels alienated from her, she will definitely get better if we get along with her for a long time.
…
The general went to Cheng Wenwen's courtyard to have meals for several days. Every time he came out, he had a sense of satisfaction on his face, obviously caring about this new lady.
Although the new lady rarely interacted with people in the mansion, she was kind and did not cause trouble to anyone. Many people in the mansion had a good impression of her.
Except, Wu Li.
Wu Li's heart has been getting more and more depressed recently. There are so many aunts in the house, many of them more beautiful than the Cheng family, but the generals are all indifferent. And this time, the general changed his appearance again and again. Treat Mr. Cheng preferentially.
Just now, he asked himself to go and obey Cheng's arrangements.
Wu Li knew that her thoughts were wrong, but she still couldn't help but resent the Cheng family for it.
She has been with the general for more than ten years, but she has not gained any favor from the general. Cheng has only been here for two months, how can she win the general's attention?
"Xiao Hong, go and sell this recipe to major restaurants."
"yes!"
Xiao Hong took Wu Li's recipe and unfolded it to look at it. Isn't this the recipe for Cheng's Grilled Sausage and Fried Chicken?
Sister is going to deal with the new lady.
"What are you looking at? Go quickly!" Wu Li frowned.
Xiaohong nodded and went to do it immediately.
