Chapter 448 Restoring the Xiao Family's Glory

The Second Prince looked at Xiao Fu's smiling face. When the cold spring wind blew, the Second Prince instantly woke up. How could he come to find a servant in the middle of the night?

The Second Prince looked at the people following Xiao Fu, and Xiao Jiu was not there.

"Your Highness? Is there something urgent?" Xiao Fu asked again. Yue'er didn't know what delicious food to prepare. Who knew that the second prince would come, but he didn't say anything when he came. It would be better for him to accompany Yue'er to eat delicious food.

"I..." The second prince was about to say something, but then changed his words, "It's like this. Last time, it was the young master of the prefect Zhang's house who took the initiative to send food to the people. Tomorrow, I have asked someone to prepare fifty pigs. Then we will treat the people who built the dam to a good meal."

The second prince suddenly remembered the rumor and immediately told them about buying pork again.

"Then, I would like to thank Your Highness on behalf of the people who built the dam." Xiao Fu bowed, and this time he was particularly sincere. With fifty pigs, each of the people who built the dam could get at least 700 to 800 grams of meat, and there would also be pig offal, so everyone could have a good meal!

Xiao Fu used to think that pig offal was unpalatable, but now, it’s really delicious!

Especially the large intestine, how can it be fried into such a delicious dish?

"This matter was originally the self-willed decision of Lord Zhang's son. He must be severely punished. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the common people." The second prince spoke righteously, as if the person who suggested feeding the common people pig offal was not the second prince.

"Yes." Xiao Fu lowered his eyes, a flash of disdain in his eyes. Without the Second Prince's instruction, how could Lord Zhang dare to make such a decision?

Xiao Fu raised his head again, smiling, and said, "Then tomorrow's dishes will be prepared by His Highness's people?"

"Well, the chefs are just making it again." The second prince said, turning around and preparing to leave. Suddenly, he smelled a fragrant aroma and asked: "Where does the fragrance come from?"

barbecue?

Is this the barbecue that Yue'er mentioned?

"Your Highness, I ate pig intestines last time and thought they tasted good, so I had someone fry them. Would you like to try them?" Xiao Fu asked with a smile.

The Second Prince sniffed carefully, and the smell was gone. He then recalled the stinky smell of pig intestines, which he disliked. He said, "Master Xiao, please keep it for yourself. Master Xiao is the Minister of Revenue after all. How could he have such a strange taste?"

"Your Highness, you are joking. I am just a rough man." Xiao Fu said self-deprecatingly. In Lingnan, let alone pig intestines, if it were not for the silver sent by Yue'er, he would not even have dirt to eat.

The second prince did nothing else and turned and left.

Xiao Fu waited until the Second Prince left and was sure he would not come back, then he hurried to the backyard. In the yard, Xiao Jiuyue was making a barbecue. Xiao Fu said, "Yuer, it was almost there. The Second Prince came over just now."

"I put it away in time, who knew it would smell so good." When Xiao Jiuyue heard that the second prince was coming, she immediately put the barbecue into the house, stopped grilling it, and covered it with greaseproof paper.

Who knows, the charcoal fire might also be burning with oil, and the Second Prince is born in the Year of the Dog, and his nose is so sensitive.

"What is this? Why does it smell so good?" Xiao Fu watched Xiao Jiuyue open the oil paper package and look at the roasted meat inside. The aroma filled his nose, arousing Xiao Fu's appetite. "Is this barbecue?"

"Yes, it would be even better if we had some beer." Xiao Jiuyue thought, in the summer, eating barbecue with some cold beer would be so refreshing!

"Someone, go get some wine." Xiao Fu spoke immediately.

Xiao Jiuyue didn't stop him. After all, without beer, any kind of alcohol would be the same. She handed over the roasted pork belly and said, "Dad, try it."

Xiao Fu took the roasted pork belly. Although he had never been a big fan of food, he couldn't wait to take a bite. The sizzling oil and the cumin and chili powder mixed with the charred aroma of the pork belly made Xiao Fu's eyes light up: "Delicious!"

Xiao Jiuyue's eyes narrowed with laughter. The first phase of the project had finally come to an end, and the spring sowing had all been finalized. Then she received news from Shengjing that the entire Xiao family had arrived!

Xiao Jiuyue naturally wanted to celebrate this good news. She said proudly, "I baked it myself, it must be delicious."

"Not bad." Xiao Fu was eating pork belly, his eyes fixed on the eggplant next to him. He asked, "Can eggplant be grilled?"

"It's grilled, it smells so good!" Xiao Jiuyue thought, how can we go out for barbecue without eggplant? Sprinkle it with plenty of minced garlic, and it tastes so delicious no matter how you eat it!

"It seems that the Second Prince still has some dignity left. He pushed the entire pig offal incident onto the Zhang family and then bought fifty more pigs in his name so that everyone could have a feast!"

Xiao Fu continued grilling while taking a sip of his wine, his face full of smiles: "Yuer, I'm confident that the dam will not collapse this year!"

"I believe in Daddy." Xiao Jiuyue clinked glasses with him, holding the fruit wine. "Then I wish Daddy a speedy reinstatement and the restoration of the Xiao family's glory!"

Reinstate the official and restore the glory of the Xiao family!

Xiao Fu's eyes welled up with tears after hearing these few words. He picked up the jar and poured wine into the bowl. He lifted the bowl generously and said, "This day will come soon. When the time comes, Dad will find you a perfect husband! You will live a comfortable and happy life."

"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue looked up. She could sense Xiao Fu's sincere thoughts under the moonlight. Holding the bowl of fruit wine, she said, "Then I wish you a prosperous career. I hope that with your help, the people will have enough to eat and wear warm clothes!"

"good!"

Xiao Fu was even happier after hearing this blessing. The father and daughter clinked glasses and ate barbecue, looking very happy.

On the other side, the Second Prince was unhappy in his heart. He looked at Changfeng and said, "Go, find me a fair and beautiful girl."

"Yes." Not long after, Changfeng brought a fair and beautiful girl. He had spent a lot of effort to find her. He said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. She is a beautiful girl from a small family and very clean."

"How is it fair?" The Second Prince frowned and said, "The eyes are not big enough and not bright enough."

"Your Highness, please wait a minute." Changfeng quickly brought five fair-skinned and beautiful girls. Changfeng had prepared them early, fearing that the second prince would suddenly want them.

If it were any other time, the Second Prince would have embraced his beauties and taken them to the land of tenderness. However, at this moment, looking at these adorable girls, the Second Prince was not moved at all. His mind was full of the fair-skinned Xiaojiu. She was standing on a high place, explaining to the people how to farm. Her lively eyes kept swaying in his mind.
