Li Huan knew that within three days, the "Four Great Silver Knights of Jiangnan" would launch a night raid on the Grand Tutor's mansion, attempting to abduct the four fragrant herbs of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

At that time, Tang Bohu will indeed be able to use his skills to save the damsel in distress.

However, this will also reveal the truth about Tang Bohu's superb martial arts skills.

Li Huan asked, "How do you plan to save Qiu Xiang?"

Tang Bohu said, "Go to Qiu Xiang's boudoir immediately and tell her that the situation is dangerous. Tell her to hide quickly. If the situation becomes serious, I will have to subdue those four scoundrels!"

Li Huan deliberately said, "The Four Great Silver Knights of Jiangnan are highly skilled in martial arts. You are just a scholar. How can you subdue them?"

Tang Bohu smiled slightly: "To be honest, I know a little bit about martial arts. I wouldn't call myself a master, but dealing with a few petty thieves is no problem!"

Li Huan warned, "Brother Tang, you're currently impersonating my assistant, and all you can do is cook. You don't know any martial arts. If you take down those four scoundrels at the Hua Mansion, you'll be exposed!"

Tang Bohu nodded: "That makes sense!"

Li Huan said, "So, you should never make a move unless absolutely necessary, lest it affect your plans to pick up girls."

Tang Bohu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do!"

Li Huan said, "Also, I'm giving you an important task."

Tang Bohu asked, "What task do you require, Brother Li? Please give your instructions."

Li Huan said, "You've already noticed that Sister Shiliu has been eyeing me covetously, haven't you?"

Tang Bohu chuckled: "She's not just eyeing you covetously, she practically wants to devour you alive!"

Li Huan said, "Sister Shiliu is a senior maid in the Hua family and is deeply trusted by Madam Hua. I can't offend her for now, but I don't want her to bother me either. You know what to do, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Bohu raised his eyebrows: "Does Mr. Tang mean that I should handle Sister Pomegranate?"

Li Huan said, "With Brother Tang's skills and talent, winning over Sister Pomegranate will be a piece of cake!"

Tang Bohu's face turned green.

"Brother Tang, I disguised myself, changed my name, and infiltrated the Hua mansion to win Qiu Xiang's heart! But now you want me to win over the shameless Sister Pomegranate? Doesn't that contradict my original intention?"

Li Huan said, "If you don't win over Sister Pomegranate, she'll keep bothering me, and I'll have no choice but to leave Huafu."

Tang Bohu hurriedly said, "No, no, you absolutely cannot leave the Hua Mansion!"

Li Huan said, "If you don't want me to leave, you have to deal with Sister Pomegranate and make her lose interest in me."

Tang Bohu sighed, looking worried.

Seeing Tang Bohu's appearance, Li Huan almost burst out laughing.

There's no other way to deal with Sister Pomegranate than to distract her and let her loneliness and emptiness find release.

Suddenly, Tang Bohu's eyes lit up: "I've got a way to win over Sister Pomegranate!"

"What method?" Li Huan asked.

Tang Bohu said, "Zhu Zhishan has rather heavy tastes and is thick-skinned. I can invite him to the Hua Mansion and let him deal with Sister Pomegranate!"

Li Huan pretended to be skeptical: "Are you sure Zhu Zhishan can handle the thirsty Sister Pomegranate?"

Tang Bohu said, "I can totally handle it! I guarantee it!"

Li Huan said, "Look at Zhu Zhishan's sleazy appearance, he and Sister Shiliu should be a perfect match... The problem is, how do we get Zhu Zhishan into the Hua Mansion?"

Tang Bohu said, "That's simple. Have Zhu Zhishan disguise himself and become your assistant!"

Li Huan shook his head: "No, Zhu Zhishan is a glutton who expects everything to be done for him. He definitely can't cook and would never pretend to be my assistant."

Tang Bohu said, "Tell Madam Hua that you need an apprentice, and then take the opportunity to recruit Zhu Zhishan into the Hua family!"

Li Huan said, "The Hua family originally had several cooks, as well as so many maids and servants. Madam Hua would definitely have me select apprentices from within the Hua family. Why would she need to find an outsider?"

Tang Bohu said, "If you insist on finding an outsider, Madam Hua will not stop you!"

Li Huan said, "Don't forget, Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, and Dongxiang also want to learn to cook. If I don't take them as apprentices but instead take Zhu Zhishan, wouldn't that be a waste of a great opportunity to pick up girls?"

Tang Bohu nodded: "That's true, being near the water gives you an advantage..."

Li Huan said, "Here's what we'll do. You deal with Sister Pomegranate tonight. If you really can't bring yourself to do it, find another opportunity tomorrow to call Zhu Zhishan over. I'll go and discuss with Madam Hua about getting Zhu Zhishan into the Hua family as an apprentice!"

Tang Bohu reluctantly said, "I'll do my best..."

That night.

Li Huan took ten boxed meals out of the carriage and handed them to Chunxiang.

At the same time, Li Huan wrote down the purchase prices of various ingredients on a piece of paper and handed it to Madam Hua for review.

Of course, it was just a formality to fool Madam Hua.

Afterwards, Li Huan took four boxed meals and four bottles of beer from the carriage and went into his room.

Tang Bohu was very curious: "Brother Li, I didn't see you busy preparing ingredients, nor did I see you going to the kitchen to cook or steam rice. How did you manage to provide ten boxed meals for the Hua family so easily, as if by magic?"

Li Huan casually replied, "They're all leftover lunch boxes from lunch. They're stored in the carriage to keep them warm and fresh, saving us the trouble of cooking dinner."

Tang Bohu was even more shocked: "In early summer weather, how can the boxed meals be kept fresh in the carriage?"

Li Huan said, "Don't ask me how to keep it fresh, I have my own tricks!"

Tang Bohu wisely shut up, quickly picked up a beer, poured Li Huan a full glass, and it bubbled with plenty of foam.

Li Huan took a sip of beer and laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, Sister Pomegranate will come looking for me when the moon is high in the sky. At that time, it will all depend on your talents and skills to hold her off!"

Tang Bohu sighed again and drank three glasses of beer in a row.

As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens the timid.

Tang Bohu was not a coward, but in front of Sister Pomegranate, he would rather be a coward and wish he could stay away from her.

Now forced to deal with Sister Pomegranate, Tang Bohu has no choice but to drink more to bolster his courage.

Seeing Tang Bohu drinking beer heartily, Li Huan went out of the room and took out six more bottles of beer from his electric tricycle.

"Brother Tang, drink more! Take advantage of the alcohol and win over Sister Pomegranate to fill her emptiness and loneliness!"

Tang Bohu grinned and said, "Cheers!"

Tang Bohu drank heartily, gulping down his drink.

To everyone's surprise, after downing five bottles of beer, Tang Bohu buried his head in his arms and fell asleep on the table, completely drunk.

Li Huan didn't believe that Tang Bohu could drink so little, so he reached out and pressed down on his shoulder, secretly using his internal energy.

Tang Bohu shuddered, let out two muffled groans, and did not wake up.

Goodness, he's really drunk.

Holy crap, how am I supposed to deal with Sister Pomegranate in this state?

Li Huan quickly blew out the candles, closed the door, bolted it, and lay down on the bed to rest.

Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock.

"Li Huan! Open the door! It's Sister Pomegranate!"

Li Huan remained silent.

Sister Pomegranate said, "The moon is so round and bright tonight, why don't you enjoy it with me?"
