Chapter 165 [Climbing the Wall at Night]

"become!"

Jiang Lili wrote the contract and gave two copies to Yin Zhen, while Master Liao read out the contents of the contract to Yin Zhen haltingly.

Yin Zhen received the silver from Jiang Lili and listened to Liao Dabao reading the contract. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She has been dexterous since she was a child and has a great talent in cooking, but her mother has always told her that she should practice her cooking skills well so that when she marries into her husband's family in the future, she can capture the man's stomach and keep his heart, and have more advantages in competing for favor.

She had always been taught that her husband was her heaven and earth, and that the three obediences and four virtues were the most important thing.

As a result, when she was exiled, she had short clothes and little food, her child was sick and her husband didn't care, and her mistress scolded her harshly. Only then did she realize that no one else could be relied on, and only herself was the most trustworthy.

Yin Zhen had never thought that her craft could earn her money and allow her to start her own business. Now, holding a bulging bag of money in her hands, she was excited.

Restraining her excitement, Yin Zhen said to Jiang Lili, "Miss Jiang, there are still some mung beans in the kitchen. Let me teach you how to make mung bean cake today!"

Jiang Lili nodded: "Okay!"

Eating spicy food at night can easily cause internal heat. This mung bean cake is good for reducing internal heat. Eat a few pieces to fill your stomach.

But she was a little nervous. She was good at cooking, but making pastries was not her strong point.

I'm going to open the group chat camera later, record the whole process, and send it to Zhang Xiaopang as a teaching video.

Seeing that Jiang Lili suddenly wanted to learn how to make mung bean cakes, Xin Che was puzzled. Can't their little fairy make anything? Why did she suddenly want to learn how to make mung bean cakes?

Could it be that he particularly likes the mung bean cake made according to Yin Zhen’s recipe?

"Li Li, let me learn."

Before Jiang Lili could answer, Xin Che stood up and walked to the kitchen with Yin Zhen before Jiang Lili.

Jiang Lili wondered, "Does Xin Che also like to eat mung bean cakes? Does he want to learn how to make them?"

On the night that Yin Zhen and Liao Dabao checked into the ancestral hall's guest room, Jiang Lili sent a lot of daily necessities to the mother and son that night, all of which were items that looked close to ancient times.

Xin Che took the first step by taking down the aprons hanging on the wall of the small kitchen, gave one to Yin Zhen, and hung the other around his neck.

He remembered that this was used when cooking to prevent clothes from getting dirty.

However, Jiang Lili bought this apron according to Yin Zhen's body shape. Yin Zhen has a slender figure, so the two aprons that Jiang Lili bought were both in smaller sizes.

At this moment, Xin Che had some difficulty reaching out to tie the belt behind his waist.

Master Liao was eating coconut cake nearby, saying sarcastically, "Brother, why don't you wear an apron? A grown man shouldn't be so concerned with such trivial matters!"

Xin Che did not answer, his long arms still struggling with the short laces.

This morning, several people found a clear pond in the mountains to bathe. Jiang Lili took out this ink-black robe with a lotus pattern embroidered with silver thread from her backpack and asked him to put it on. She also praised it for its good looks and told him not to get it dirty.

Seeing that Xin Che's hands were almost twisted like a dough stick, Jiang Lili hurried over to lend a hand: "Let me help you!"

Xin Che immediately loosened his grip, and the apron strings fell to the sides.

Jiang Lili came behind Xin Che, picked up the tie, pressed it against Xin Che's strong waist, and tied a knot with great effort.

"Okay!"

Jiang Lili let go of her hand and stood aside, while Xin Che said to Yin Zhen without further ado, "Let's get started. Sorry for the trouble."

Because of the differences between men and women and the fear of disturbing each other if they were crowded together, Xin Che and Yin Zhen did not cook at the same stove. He specially built a temporary table in a corner of the kitchen.

Jiang Lili opened the chat box with Zhang Xiaopang, turned on the camera, found a suitable position and started recording Yin Zhen's teaching video. Her position was next to Xin Che, and the two of them were alone in a small space.

After the video started recording, Jiang Lili didn't need to follow and there was nothing to do. She looked up and saw Xin Che who was kneading flour carefully.

Jiang Lili's face flushed immediately after seeing this. The apron was tightly attached to Xin Che's body.

His broad arms and strong chest muscles were more prominent, and the muscle lines on his body seemed to burst out. The waist was tied the tightest, and the term "broad shoulders and narrow waist" was particularly appropriate at this time.

Damn, it’s so astringent.

Jiang Lili covered her slightly hot face. The kitchen was a bit stuffy.

The clothes on her body were fine, but she always felt that this tight apron was uncomfortable. What's going on?

Xin Che pursed his thin lips, kneading the flour with his long, broad hands, and followed the instructions seriously. Even the light coming in from the window was particularly partial to his noble and handsome face, as if it was coated with a layer of soft light filter.

Jiang Lili stared at him for quite a while.

With Xin Che's alertness, how could he not notice that Jiang Lili was looking at him?

Xin Che pursed his lips tighter and frowned slightly.

Jiang Lili looked at Xin Che's slightly red ears and lightly flushed cheeks and neck. She wondered in her heart, could it be that Xin Che's apron was too tight and he was having difficulty breathing?

While making mung bean cake, Yin Zhen explained the precautions of making mung bean cake, and all her energy was focused on Liao Dabao.

Master Liao was in a playful mood and took a small piece of dough and started kneading it.

Jiang Lili's face was covered with a thin layer of sweat. She fanned herself with her hands and prayed that she could finish recording the mung bean cake teaching video as soon as possible.

Master Liao looked at Jiang Lili and felt very strange: "Sister Li, you didn't do anything, why are you sweating just sitting there?"

Xin Che's eyes immediately looked over.

Jiang Lili wanted to hammer Master Liao into the ground. This kid is usually careless, but now he has microscopic eyes, right?

Jiang Lili: "Stop making noise! ​​I'm learning how to make mung bean cakes using my mind!"

Liao Dabao pointed at Xin Che's face without thinking: "Brother-in-law's face is sweating too, you can wipe it for him!"

Jiang Lili glared at Master Liao, but since Master Liao said so, she had no choice but to wipe it off.

Jiang Lili took out a handkerchief and walked to Xin Che's side. She stood on tiptoe, and her slender white hand lightly rested on Xin Che's arm to help wipe the thin layer of sweat from Xin Che's forehead.

Jiang Lili's gaze fell on Xin Che's deep eyebrows, nose, and lips, and then went down, and the man's Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Jiang Lili immediately withdrew her gaze, returned to her original place with the handkerchief, and slapped her forehead. Why was she being so infatuated at this time?

After working hard for an entire afternoon, the teaching video for mung bean cake was finally finished. Jiang Lili took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face and sent the teaching video to Zhang Xiaopang.

After making the mung bean cakes, it was time to prepare dinner. Marquis Zhaoping and his wife, and Chen from Xincheng also came with Xin Yan.

At this time, two people were rushing towards the village temple.

One is County Magistrate Hu who returns with his most powerful weapon. He wants to prove that he can make gunpowder and that it is very powerful.

The other unexpected guest is Yin Zhen's husband, Lord Liao, who has been living in a nearby fishing village and has been having a hard time, missing Yin Zhen's cooking skills.
