Chapter 421 Don’t dislike it

"Yes, it's delicious. This is my third bowl!" Mao Sanli on the side agreed and drank the last bit of soup in the bowl in one gulp.

Then he burped loudly.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Zhuang's mother and Yin Qiao's smiles became wider. "It's not that there's anything wrong with this soup, it's just that this soup was not made by us, but by Honglian's craftsmanship."

Honglian's craftsmanship?
Xia Mingyue looked at Honglian in surprise.

Honglian was originally a little embarrassed because of the continuous praise for the soup. Now she felt even more embarrassed. She nodded to Xia Mingyue with a red face and said, "I made it."

"I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.

"It's not that all the food I cook is delicious, I just know how to make a few soups, and my cooking skills are barely decent, plus I have the guidance of Zhuang Mama and Yin Qiao."

Honglian said, "If Madam Xia likes it, I will often serve soup for you in the future."

The training of a skinny horse is not just about singing and dancing performances. If you want to control a man, gentleness and consideration are also very important in many cases.

Therefore, Honglian also learned some things at that time. Although she had no choice but to have such a role, what she actually longed for in her heart was a harmonious life between husband and wife, with the man working outside and the woman staying at home. She was very attentive in learning how to cook soup and her results were quite good.

At this time, the cooking skills she had learned carefully were recognized by Xia Mingyue. Although Honglian was shy, she was also very happy in her heart.

But after finishing speaking about serving the soup, Honglian suddenly felt a little regretful and quickly lowered her head again.

She has always been branded with the mark of charm. If she approaches him so actively at this time, will Madam Xia think that she is not very obedient?

Just as she was thinking about whether to apologize, Honglian heard Xia Mingyue smile and agree, "Okay."

Honglian was startled for a moment, then her face was filled with joy, and she quickly responded, "Yes!"

Yin Lingyou and others on the side came over and said with a playful smile, "Since Madam Honglian has already taken this step, as the saying goes, if you let one sheep go, you can also drive a flock of sheep away. Why not do more and let us benefit from it as well."

"Yes, yes." The others echoed, "If you need help, just call us."

"Okay..." Honglian responded.

Tears in my eyes.

Lady Xia loves the soup she makes!
Madam Xia doesn't even despise her identity!
Everyone present did not despise her identity...

It seems that I can get by in the days ahead.

When Shen Shujun saw this scene, she pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head, and her eyes were dark and unclear.

That night, Xia Mingyue began to do some preparations after dinner, preparing to make snacks and pastries for Madam He early the next morning.

After returning, Manager Fu arranged for his men to inquire about Cui Wendong's address.

At this time, Cui Wendong was sitting in the courtyard of Qinglian Villa, looking at the lotus flowers in the large vat in the courtyard that were blooming but somewhat withered, his face full of anger.

The arrangements for speaking up for justice have been made, but the results are not satisfactory at the moment.

Xia Mingyue obviously had no interest in him, and what was even more annoying was her younger brother An Yunji, who was really disgusting.

However, this annoying person is a junior general under An Leiting and holds a good position.

Damn it! He is obviously a son of the Cui family, with a respected status, and should be respected wherever he goes, but here, he encounters obstacles everywhere.

Everywhere he looked were people he couldn't afford to offend.

The more I think about it, the more frustrated I become!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Cui Wendong could hardly suppress the anger in his heart. He raised his hand and pushed all the cups, plates and bowls on the table to the ground with a "clatter".

The servants serving nearby were all startled when they saw this, then shrank their necks and dared not say a word.

Qingsong couldn't help but curl his lips, feeling very satisfied in his heart, but he still walked in front of Cui Wendong with a worried look on his face, "Sir, why are you so angry?"

The master is so angry, and you, a servant, don’t even know what you are doing!
Cui Wendong became more and more angry and glared at Qingsong fiercely.

Qingsong didn't take it to heart, and only asked tentatively, "Is it because of Madam Xia and that young general Ji?"

Seeing that there was still no response, Qingsong continued, "Sir, there is no need to be so angry. These two siblings are not likable, especially the young general Ji, who speaks harshly. But in my opinion, this just shows that you are wise, and the lady Xia you are eyeing is indeed of high status."

"There's a saying that goes, 'God will give great responsibilities to those who are capable of them.' Now is the time for you to be tested, young master."

Upon hearing this, Cui Wendong's gaze gradually shifted from Qingsong to the mess in front of him.

This... seems to make some sense.

The higher the status of Xia Mingyue and Na An Yunji, the more it confirmed his guess about Xia Mingyue's identity.

And if he succeeds, he will get more than he imagined.

What he is experiencing now is nothing more than the darkness before dawn...

Cui Wendong felt much better after comforting himself in this way, and his fighting spirit, which had been somewhat low, was rekindled.

cheer up!

but……

He didn't know how long An Yunji would stay with Xia Mingyue or when he would return to the military camp. He really didn't want to talk to An Yunji anymore.

Even one word!
The next day, Xia Mingyue got up early and arranged the people to go to the mooncake stall to sell mooncakes. She asked Zhuang's mother and Honglian to help her and start making snacks.

The smile is crispy and delicious, with a strong salty flavor. You will never get tired of eating it. The sesame seeds covering the outside become more fragrant the more you chew them. It is very delicious.

Honey baked sweet potato chips are made with sweet sweet potatoes from red soil. They are cut into thick slices, coated with a mixture of eggs and starch, baked for a quarter of an hour, then brushed with honey and baked again. The sweet potato chips are only baked until both sides are golden and the sugar is exuded.

The sweet potato chips baked in this way are not greasy, nor do they become too dry and inedible due to being roasted at high temperatures. Instead, they taste crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet, delicious, and soft.

Black sesame and walnut nutritious cake is made by mixing roasted black sesame, walnut kernels, almonds, red dates, wolfberries, etc. with cooked maltose, maltose syrup and a little donkey-hide gelatin thoroughly, placing it into a mold, pressing it to flatten and shape it, and then cutting it into slices of even thickness.

It can be stored for a long time by wrapping it in glutinous rice paper and can be taken and eaten at any time. When you eat it, your mouth will be filled with the aroma of sesame nuts. The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. The addition of donkey-hide gelatin and red dates can replenish qi and nourish blood.

Crispy dried apples, made from fresh large apples in season, wash and cut into thin slices, soak in salt for a while, wash and drain, then bake in the oven until completely dry.

The baked apples are crispy and retain the original apple fragrance and sweet and sour taste. You can eat a slice at any time. They have a good texture and taste, and are very suitable as tea time or a snack before or after meals.
