Chapter 56: The Second Master is Fat

Speaking of which, the Second Master has a handsome face, outstanding temperament, and is like a banished immortal. He is also quiet in nature. I guess he is the one below.

Why……

Su Yujin shook his head and sighed for a long time.

Ai Cao was watching from the side and was getting confused, becoming more and more confused about what his girl was doing.

At first he seemed very worried, then he was extremely excited, and then he seemed extremely regretful...

"Girl." Ai Cao was full of worry about Su Yujin.

Su Yujin picked up a lamp and said, "Go to the kitchen and get some beans. We will pick some good beans and soak them in water. We will grind soybean milk for the Second Master tomorrow morning."

"I'll go right away." Ai Cao started to get busy, and she suddenly felt relieved.

As expected, the girl still cares about the second master.

The master and servant worked for a while and soaked the beans. Su Yujin then told Ai Cao and Liu Mama what they had to do early the next morning, then he washed up and went to sleep.

When He Yanxiu got up the next morning, breakfast was already prepared in the room.

The freshly ground soy milk has been boiled several times and is full of bean flavor. The fennel fried dough sticks are not big in size but are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

It is filled with some diced ham and sweet potato cakes, as well as pickled white radish slices with pickled peppers, pickled baby vegetables, shredded mustard greens, tender egg custard, etc. This breakfast can be said to be simple yet exquisite.

After dinner, Su Yujin gave He Yanxiu acupuncture treatment after he drank the medicine.

This time, in order to prevent herself from dozing off while waiting, and also to prevent He Yanxiu from getting bored while waiting, Su Yujin took the chessboard and chess pieces and played a game with He Yanxiu.

He Yanxiu had needles on his wrists and it was inconvenient for him to make the move, so he dictated and Su Yujin helped him make the move.

In modern society, Su Yujin was asked by her parents to concentrate on learning Go when she was a student. After arriving here, she was well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. With a certain memory, she was able to show off her skills in front of He Yanxiu.

However, Su Yujin could see that He Yanxiu was intentionally letting her go so that she wouldn't lose so badly.

"By the way, you mentioned before the indentures of Ai Cao and Mother Liu. I brought them here this time and have already told Xing'an about it. You can go find him and ask for it later."

When Su Yujin pulled out the needle, He Yanxiu said.

"Thank you, Second Master." Su Yujin smiled.

The Second Master is a man of his words!

"This time, we have to give acupuncture for seven consecutive days. I am afraid that it will delay your official duties in Beijing. You should send someone back to ask for leave as soon as possible and inform your family."

So as not to worry family members.

"I have already told Xing'an to do it this morning." He Yanxiu said, "I think he has already arrived in the capital by now."

The second master is also very cautious and thorough in doing things.

Considering the Second Master's family background, his current official position, and his amiable personality, he must be a candidate for son-in-law for many families in the capital, and the dream man of many girls.

Alas, what a pity.

The second master is actually a zero.

"What are you sighing about?" He Yanxiu asked.

"Nothing, just thinking about what to cook for the Second Master at noon." Su Yujin thought for a while and said, "Why not steam rice with Chinese sausage for noon, and then make a dish of braised Qingjiang fish with sauce, stir-fried river shrimp, stir-fried yuba with black fungus, sweet and sour lotus root cubes, and spinach and pork liver soup for soup."

"All good."

Anyway, he couldn't taste anything and could only smell it. The dishes made by Su Yujin were all delicious and satisfying. No matter which dish it was, it smelled very satisfying.

So it really doesn’t matter what you eat.

"Then I'll go and prepare it." Su Yujin lifted the curtain and went out.

After a busy day and lunch, Su Yujin had time to find Xing'an and got the indentures of Ai Cao and Liu Mama.

Holding the two thin pieces of paper, Su Yujin felt more and more that he had taken the first step towards achieving this ambitious goal. He immediately became full of energy and hurried to prepare dinner.

Garlic chicken feet, king oyster mushrooms with sesame oil and millet pepper sauce, steamed spare ribs with glutinous rice, stewed ham with baby cabbage and preserved eggs, and the staple food is pan-fried fresh meat.

When I woke up the next morning, I had cracked eggs, grilled pork tenderloin, multi-grain pancakes with noodle sauce and lettuce, and glutinous rice porridge with lotus seeds, white fungus and stems.

At noon, there are fresh mushrooms and Chinese cabbage, pepper and salt chicken wings, okra and steamed shrimp balls with vermicelli, and the staple food is mutton stewed noodles.

In the evening, we had stir-fried celery with Chinese sausage, crispy fried eggplant boxes, stir-fried green bean sprouts, egg and vermicelli, silkworm potatoes, and the staple food was soybean-flavored pancakes.

It’s morning again…

He Yanxiu ate the chicken soup wontons in his bowl in small bites, sitting very straight.

It’s not that he is being pretentious and has to sit like this.

It really feels like I've been eating and drinking here for several days, and the belt on my body is already a little tight after being nourished by such fragrant food every day. If I sit with my waist slightly bent, I feel that the belt is too tight and I can't eat.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The weather is nice today, and the snow on the ground has melted away in the past two days. Let's go out for a walk after drinking the medicine." He Yanxiu suggested.

At least it helps digest the food.

"If you want to take a walk, why not go to the theater?" Su Yujin suggested. "I heard that since the New Year is approaching, a new troupe has come to the theater. They are performing "Gathering of Heroes" these days. It's said to be very good."

Su Yujin had wanted to go and listen for a long time, but He Yanxiu happened to come and was going to hang around him every day, so she had to give up the idea for a while.

He Yanxiu was going out for a walk at this moment, so she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

"Okay." He Yanxiu nodded, and seeing that Su Yujin was also looking forward to it, "Then come with me to take a look."

"Yes." Su Yujin responded excitedly.

After He Yanxiu drank the medicine, Su Yujin gave him acupuncture. After they cleaned up a bit, the two of them left together in a carriage.

The theater is located to the east of the county town, a little far from where the commotion occurred, but the place is spacious and it is convenient for carriages to park at the door.

Seeing He Yanxiu and Su Yujin getting off a very decent carriage, the theater waiter had already come over to greet them and invited them to sit in the private room upstairs.

After serving hot tea and various snacks, the waiter said with a smile, "There is still a cup of tea before the show starts. Please wait for a while."

Then he brought over a plate of shelled pine nuts and said, "You two look unfamiliar. Perhaps this is your first time here. This is a gift from the shop. Don't despise it."

The theater's income, in addition to tea and snacks, mainly comes from tips given by guests to the troupe.

People like He Yanxiu and Su Yujin, who are well-dressed, must be young men and women from wealthy families. They will enjoy the show very much and the reward money will definitely be generous.

The pine nuts I sent as a gift are just to increase your favorability.

"This theater really knows how to do business." He Yanxiu said with a smile.

"That's what the Second Master said."

As soon as Su Yujin finished speaking, she heard a chair being pulled next to her, as if someone was sitting down.

"Have you heard?"

"What?"

"It's about Ren Jianbai and Ren Xiucai..."

"Gathering of Heroes" is a traditional Peking opera adapted from a fragment of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This article is fictional and does not delve into the time when this Peking opera appeared~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
