Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Aunt Yan went to the main courtyard with a bowl of soup, intending to show her courtesy to the general. However, she did not even see the general and was stopped by the servants outside the door.

"Auntie, the general is meeting guests and cannot see you!"

Aunt Yan tried to make a scene, but these servants were all soldiers in the army and they obeyed military orders as firmly as a mountain, so they remained calm in the face of Aunt Yan.

Aunt Yan snorted at a few people, then left angrily with the soup.

On the way out, I happened to see two maids chatting against the wall.

"Do you know? The new lady summoned the guards to set up a stall outside a few days ago!"

"Are you crazy because of poverty? Let the guards set up stalls?"

"It seems that the new wife's dowry was robbed by bandits."

"However, when the general came back this time, he directly allocated 100 taels of silver to the new wife every month for expenses! How generous!"

"With money, the new wife won't have to ask people to set up stalls to make money!"

Aunt Yan was shocked when she heard this: "What? The general actually gave Cheng 100 taels of silver?"

You know, these concubines only get ten taels of silver at most a month.

When the Cheng family came, their monthly salary was ten times as much.

"Why does she get so much monthly silver? It's ten times what we get! Ten times! The general is too partial!" Aunt Yan said excitedly.

The maid Caiping thought: Since she is the wife of the emperor, she should get more monthly salary.

Auntie, don’t you understand your position clearly?

Aunt Yan angrily called out to Caiping, "Come on, I want to see what kind of beauty Cheng is! You're treating the general so specially just for the first time he sees her!"

Caiping had a bitter face and thought to herself, "Oh no, my aunt is going to make trouble again!"

But she had no choice but to follow her master's orders.

……

In the main courtyard.

Several grown men stood in the room, staring at each other.

Qi Shuo looked at the two men and frowned, "What are you guys doing sneaking around outside my house?"

It was the servants who came to report that there was a suspicious person outside the mansion, so Qi Shuo sent people to bring the person in.

My goodness, it’s Sun Yuan and Qian Cheng!

Sun Yuan, with a big belly on his head, laughed, "It's like this, General. Qian Cheng's mother asked him to come back for a blind date, so I followed him back to the city. I just happened to... pass by your house, just passing by... hahahaha..."

Sun Yuan looked at Qian Cheng with a smile.

Qian Cheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, we were just passing by. General, we were really just passing by. We didn't stay outside on purpose... Ouch..."

Qian Cheng's foot was kicked and he looked at Sun Yuan in confusion.

Sun Yuan signaled him to shut up. This silly boy was really trying to cover up his guilt.

Qi Shuo looked at the two of them covering for each other, shook his head helplessly and said: "Since you are here, have dinner and leave!"

Sun Yuan smiled and replied, "Okay, okay."

The two stayed, but it was still some time before dinner time, so Sun Yuan and Qian Cheng went to play with the two children.

Sun Yuan laughed and opened his arms and said, "Little Qi Qi, come here, uncle will hug you."

Qi Qi was naturally happy to let Sun Yuan hold her. Qi Qi poked Sun Yuan's belly and said, "Uncle Yuan, you are so soft!"

Qi Xing said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan, you should lose weight!"

Sun Yuan laughed loudly, measuring his sturdy arms and boasting, "Boy, your uncle Yuan is strong, not fat. Come on, I can hold one of you in one hand!"

Qi Xing hugged his chest coldly and dodged, saying unhappily: "I don't want to be hugged, I'm grown up."

"Stinky boy!" Sun Yuan scolded with a smile, then turned to ask Qi Qi: "Little Qi Qi, have you seen the new wife? Is she pretty? What is she like?"

Qi Qi nodded: "The new wife is very beautiful, and she also made a lot of delicious food for us! The food made by the new wife is delicious!"

"That's great! Let's try our new wife's cooking today!" Sun Yuan said with a smile.

Sun Yuan said this loudly, facing the room, obviously speaking on purpose for Qi Shuo to hear.

Qi Shuo understood Sun Yuan's intention. This man has always been gossipy and curious, and it is obvious that he wants to meet Cheng.

Qi Shuo just pretended not to hear.

Who knew that after Sun Yuan finished playing with the two children, he came in again to try to get close to Qi Shuo and asked, "General, have you seen the new wife? Are you satisfied?"

Qi Shuo glared at him.

Sun Yuan laughed and said, "I heard from Xiao Qiqi that the new wife cooks delicious food. Can you show us your skills?"

Although Qi Shuo is his superior, their interactions on weekdays are mostly casual, like occasionally visiting and bringing some of his wife's homemade dishes to share, which are common things in the military camp.

Qi Shuo did not feel offended, but when he thought of Cheng's timid appearance, he was afraid that Sun Yuan, a rough man, would say something inappropriate and offend others.

After all, she is a pampered girl in the capital, not like the one who grew up freely in this border town.

Sun Yuan continued, "I haven't tried Beijing's food either!"

Qi Shuo put down his pen, clicked his tongue, looked at Sun Yuan seriously, and said, "Don't have any bad ideas! She's timid, don't scare her!"

Sun Yuan was scolded, but he was not angry. He just sighed and said, "Okay, okay! General, you really love your new wife!"

Qian Cheng saw Sun Yuan coming out and asked, "Brother Sun, what did you say to the general again?"

Sun Yuan waved his hand: "The general has a wife and has forgotten his brothers!"

Qian Cheng curled his lips and thought, between brother and wife, of course the wife is more important! After all, who would sleep with their brother in their arms at night? How disgusting!

……

Cheng Wenwen felt tremendous psychological pressure when she saw the legendary general, so she made a barbecue to calm her nerves.

Who knew that after eating just two bites of the meat, Xiaolan came in and reported: "Miss, Aunt Yan is here to see you!"

Cheng Wenwen frowned. She had been recuperating from her injuries and had not seen anyone these days, so the concubines in the mansion knew better than to disturb her.

Why did Aunt Yan suddenly come to see me?

"Did she ask me something?"

Xiaolan said, "Aunt Yan said that she is here to bring you some nourishing chicken soup."

"Send some food!" Cheng Wenwen blinked.

It is also common for neighbors to send food to each other.

Cheng Wenwen didn't think much about it, so she said hospitably: "Then please invite her in! We can sit down and eat barbecue together."

He came in from the small kitchen carrying meat. When she heard Aunt Yan coming, she hurried to Cheng Wenwen and said, "Miss, Aunt Yan is not a good person. I heard that she often seduces the general. You have to be more careful."

"Frequently seduce the general?" That's great!

Cheng Wenwen must encourage and reward Aunt Yan, asking her to work harder to seduce the general and not let him have time to think about her.

Aunt Yan and Caiping entered the yard carrying the chicken soup and they smelled the aroma of meat, which made them immediately hungry.

"What's that smell? It smells so good?"

Aunt Yan continued to walk in and saw several people sitting around a stove, eating and drinking without caring about anything else.

Aunt Yan took a glance and saw the quiet girl sitting in the middle.

Aunt Yan looked at Cheng Wenwen carefully, frowned slightly, and thought with a little displeasure: I am not even as pretty as myself, why is the general so partial to me?
