Zhang Shizhong looked amazed.

Although he looked very heroic, he had fought on the battlefield for many years and countless enemies had died at his hands.

This also caused him to emanate a strong evil aura, giving people a strong sense of oppression, making people feel uneasy and fearful.

Especially his eyes are deep and sharp, as if they can see through people's hearts, making people dare not look at him easily.

Even his children and grandchildren were afraid of him and never got close to him.

So he rarely holds the child.

But the baby smiled at him and reached out for him to hold him.

Looking at her was like seeing my sister when she was a child. My sister was like this when she was a child, very clingy to him.

He reached out and took the baby from Cheng Laoer's arms.

He gently took her arms and lifted her up so that she was at eye level with him.

“Haha…haha…!”

Facing the old general's sharp eyes, Cheng Xingwan was not afraid at all and stretched out his little claws towards Zhang Shizhong's big beard.

I finally saw the general in person. He is definitely a golden thigh, I have to hold on to him tightly.

Even though his beard was pulled and it hurt, Zhang Shizhong didn't get angry. Instead, he took off a jade pendant from his body and put it around her neck.

"Little guy, this is a gift from your uncle."

Seeing this, Zhang hurried forward to stop it.

"Brother, this jade pendant is too valuable, take it back quickly and don't let this little naughty boy break it."

"It's broken, it's just a jade pendant. If the little girl likes it, I have plenty of them. Let her play with it as she likes.

Zhang Qing, please go back and bring over the jewelry and jades that I brought back from the battlefield. Let my nephews and grandchildren each pick one. I was in a hurry today and didn't prepare any gifts for them. I'll make it up to you next time.

And the dowry I have saved for Lan'er over the years will also be sent over next time."

Zhang didn't expect that her life or death was uncertain, but her brother had prepared a dowry for her. The tears that she had finally stopped were about to overflow again.

Zhang Shizhong didn't give her the chance to cry.

"Okay, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

After saying that, he carried Cheng Xingwan inside.

A table full of home-cooked meals was already laid out on the huge round table.

Braised pork, sauerkraut fish, spicy rabbit meat, sweet and sour carp, rice wine roast duck, ginseng chicken soup, century egg and salted duck egg, egg custard, fried crispy fish, and bok choy.

Each dish is delicious and makes people drool just by looking at it.

"Great job, Zhang Qing. I didn't expect you to be able to prepare such a large table of delicious food in such a short time."

Zhang Shizhong thought that these dishes were found by Zhang Qing in Pingyang County, and he admired his ability very much.

Supplies are scarce now. Even in Yinzhou County, it is not easy to put together such a sumptuous table of dishes in a short period of time, let alone in Pingyang County.

"Oh, General, I've been following you around these past two days, so I don't have the time to prepare so many delicious dishes.

These are all brought by the young lady as a gift to you."

Butler Zhang didn't dare to claim credit for the achievement.

"Oh? Did you guys empty your family's savings to prepare such a table of food for me?"

"Don't worry, uncle. These dishes are our daily home-cooked meals. The chickens, ducks, fish and meat are all raised by our family. There are so many that we can't finish them all.

We don’t have anything good to give you, so we brought some from home for you to try.”

"Brother, try it and see if it suits your taste."

Zhang used the serving chopsticks to put a piece of braised pork into Zhang Shizhong's bowl.

Zhang Shizhong picked up the bright red braised pork, put it in his mouth, and an incredible expression instantly appeared on his face.

The pork chunks become soft and tender after stewing, melt-in-the-mouth, and are fatty but not greasy.

The taste of braised pork is sweet and salty, with a rich taste. After taking a bite, you can feel the aroma of the meat and the rich juice, which makes people salivate.

Eating it with rice gives people a feeling of warmth and satisfaction.

"Try this again."

Zhang put another piece of spicy rabbit meat into his bowl.

As soon as he put the rabbit meat into his mouth, Zhang Shizhong's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He hurriedly handed the child in his arms to Zhang.

"Water! Water! Water!"

Cheng Zeli hurriedly poured a bowl of water and handed it over.

"What kind of dish is this? Why is it so spicy? No, it's numbing, spicy and numbing at the same time."

Zhang Shizhong gulped down a bowl of water before he felt the spicy taste in his mouth ease a little.

"This is spicy rabbit meat. The red side dish is called chili pepper, and the small particles are Sichuan peppercorns. Chili peppers are spicy, and Sichuan peppercorns are spicy and fragrant."

“I’ll try again.”

The spicy taste in the mouth was suppressed, and it was followed by a spicy taste in the mouth, which increased the appetite and made people want to try it again.

This time he was prepared and was not hurt by the spiciness again.

The rabbit meat has a very rich flavor after being cooked with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. The tenderness of the rabbit meat and the spicy taste of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns are intertwined in the mouth. The meat is tender and the taste is spicy, which makes people unable to stop. He completely fell in love with this taste.

hiccup~

After the meal, Zhang Shizhong was so full that he couldn't help burping.

The Cheng family's reserve also disappeared because of this meal.

Seeing that Zhang Shizhong had eaten a little too much, Cheng Zeli was worried that he was full, so he used spiritual spring water to make him a pot of digestive tea.

After drinking a cup of digestive tea, Zhang Shizhong immediately closed his eyes comfortably.

“This tea is good.”

Just now he felt that every dish was very much to his taste. He accidentally ate too much and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

I felt a little embarrassed and couldn't say it out loud in front of so many juniors, so I decided to endure it.

I didn't expect that the third nephew was so thoughtful and made him some digestive tea without making any noise.

He noticed the difference as soon as he took a sip of the tea. A warm current quickly enveloped his stomach, instantly relieving his discomfort.

After years of fighting, the swords on the battlefield were merciless, leaving countless hidden wounds of all sizes on his body. Although he looked mighty and majestic, his foundation was actually as weak as a sieve.

But at this moment, his body felt unprecedented relaxation and comfort.

Those holes were quickly filled and restored, regaining vitality, making him feel happy and relaxed.

He couldn't help but make some tea himself, and soon the whole pot of tea was finished without a drop left.

Zhang Qing, who had been with the general for many years, naturally felt his changes.

I was immediately excited.

"Cousin, where did you get this tea from? Could you tell me?"

"This tea was prepared by my second uncle, but this water is brought from the mountains. The water in our mountains is clearer and sweeter than that in other places, and it is the most suitable for making tea. But there is a problem."

In fact, this digestive tea was taken out from the space, and the water was also the spiritual spring water in the space, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only tell a little lie.

Zhang Qing was a little confused as to why they brought digestive tea and spring water with them when they went out.

However, considering that they eat these delicacies every day, they must often eat too much, so it is understandable that they carry digestive tea with them.

"I don't know if you brought much. Would you mind giving me some?"

The reason why Zhang Shizhong said to give some to him instead of giving some to the general was because he took into consideration that as an elder, it would be inappropriate to ask for things from the younger generation, so he said that he wanted it.

“Of course, in addition to this digestive tea, we also brought tea leaves and some other scented teas for my uncle and aunt. Drinking them more often on a daily basis is good for your health.

We also brought our own tea oil for frying, and today’s dishes are cooked with tea oil.”

Cheng Zeli originally went down the mountain to promote rapeseed, but by chance he met the general. It would be most appropriate to hand over the promotion of rapeseed to his uncle.

"What is tea oil? Is it cooking oil? No wonder today's lunch is so delicious. It turns out it's not lard."
