Chapter 74 Tomato Stewed Beef Brisket
While Cheng Shuyi was cooking in the kitchen, neighbors kept passing by the door.
Seeing that the gate of Cheng's house was open, everyone passing by would turn in.
"Shopkeeper Cheng, are you busy?"
Some people saw smoke coming from the kitchen and walked straight to the kitchen door.
Cheng Shuyi kept working and nodded with a smile: "I'm cooking. Aunt Wang wants to talk to me about something?"
The woman smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you, when will Shengjing Yiwei open? The boys at home are all supporting us."
"Tomorrow, we'll definitely open tomorrow." Cheng Shuyi said apologetically, "Aunt Wang, come tomorrow and I'll give you a 20% discount."
After getting the answer, the woman left happily.
Soon after, a few more people came.
They all asked her when the shops would open and when the ice would be available.
During the four days of the Gongyuan Incident, Cheng Shuyi did not go out.
She had also asked Pei Yanli's personal guards to pass on a message to several shops early on, asking them to suspend business for a few days.
So except for the fireworks shop which had stock and could open, the other shops were temporarily closed.
It's not a big deal that she's closing down, but it's hard on her old customers.
The food and supplies have been downgraded, and I can’t find a place to listen to good music. I’m not used to it.
The incident at the Imperial Examination Hall caused panic among the people.
Who can stand the fear and the hot weather?
Mo Xiao in the west wing heard the conversation between Cheng Shuyi and the neighbors.
The kitchen was just opposite, and he could see everything.
I didn’t expect that his sister-in-law is so popular.
Living in a small courtyard like this is very popular.
These two dolls...
The confidence and joy on Mo Xiao's face were gone, and his fists were clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white and the veins bulged.
He swallowed the curse words that were on the tip of his tongue.
I was so angry that I almost died.
When he goes back tonight, he will have to break a few wooden stakes to relieve the anger in his chest.
"It's time to eat—"
Cheng Shuyi's voice was like the sound of nature, saving Mo Xiao from collapse.
He stood up almost instantly and ran out.
"Sister-in-law, is it time for dinner?" Mo Xiao's eyes were shining and tears were streaming down his face.
"General Mo, what's on your hands?"
Cheng Shuyi was serving food as she passed by him and noticed that there was some powder on Mo Xiao's fingers.
Is there dust in the house?
"Oh, this..." Mo Xiao smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, I'll send two more red sandalwood abacus tomorrow."
He crushed a few of the two children's abacus beads.
When his brother said there were not enough beads, he pulled out the other beads and put them in until he had enough!
When his sister said she didn't like the bead, he just crushed it.
All wishes will be granted!
Otherwise he would really be pissed off to death by these two little kids!
Cheng Shuyi didn't understand what he meant, but it didn't matter, eating was the most important thing.
"General Mo, go wash your hands. Qiqixuxu, you guys go wash your hands too."
I can't go out these days because I'm scared.
Cheng Shuyi and her two children just get by. They cook a pot of porridge and eat it for two days. They will never cook if they can make less noise.
After eating porridge for four days, both children's mouths felt bland and they also lost weight.
I heard that Prince Yan's mansion had been raided and he was imprisoned, and the matter of the Imperial Examination Hall was over.
In addition, since Mo Xiao was the guest, Cheng Shuyi found an excuse to go to Darun Wanjia to get some food and returned to the modern era from there.
I went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of food, and made a big table of delicious dishes.
"I don't know what General Mo likes to eat, so I just made a few dishes according to my preferences."
Cheng Shuyi brought the crucian carp and loofah soup, and the two kids followed her with their bowls and chopsticks.
When they came to the table, the two children automatically helped to scoop rice.
"Brother, this is for you."
My sister packed Mo Xiao’s meal full and solid.
Even though she was only five years old, she could tell that her brother had a big appetite.
"Thank you, Xuxu." Mo Xiao suddenly felt that the little girl had become cute again, not as annoying as when she was doing homework.
Mo Xiao picked up his bowl and chopsticks, but faced with a table full of dishes he had almost never seen before, he didn't know where to start.
"These dishes are only sold at Darun Wanjia, right?"
He has not had the opportunity to visit RT-Mart yet, but he has heard a lot of rumors about it in recent days.
His Zhenbei General Mansion also applied for a VIP card of RT-Mart.
Whenever RT-Mart has new products, they will send flyers to your home.
Now the family no longer buys dishes other than those from RT-Mart.
"We also have seafood that's only available in Shengjing." Cheng Shuyi replied ambiguously, "This is the garlic vermicelli shrimp. General Mo, please don't be shy. Enjoy."
How could Mo Xiao be polite?
The heavy bowl of rice in his hand was the result of his impoliteness. He finished half of the bowl in just a few bites.
"Sister-in-law, the rice you cooked is so delicious!"
"When I was in Northern Xinjiang, I received the rice you sent me and could eat half a pot in one meal."
“But it seems like there were a few times when the taste was a little off…”
Mo Xiao had been in the Northern Frontier for too long, and his dining habits were not as elegant as those of the powerful young men in Shengjing City.
But it can still be seen that he has a good foundation.
He didn't eat very slowly, but he didn't drop a single grain of rice and ate it all cleanly.
In contrast, the two cubs always have to pick up the rice grains they drop with their hands.
"Hmm! This, this dish..."
Mo Xiao ate a dish that amazed him. His eyes widened with excitement. "What is this dish? It's so delicious!"
"This is beef brisket stewed with tomatoes." Cheng Shuyi moved the dish in front of him. "General Mo, if you like it, please eat more."
"Tomato, I know!"
Mo Xiao made another bowl of rice and, like the two children, mixed it with stewed beef brisket with tomatoes.
"The prince told me last time when he went to Northern Xinjiang that he had scrambled eggs with tomatoes at your place and it was delicious!"
"I didn't expect that I would get to eat dishes made with tomatoes this time. How great!"
Halfway through the meal, Mo Xiao finally remembered Pei Yanli who was still in prison.
"Oh, by the way, the prince asked me to tell you that he is in jail now, so don't worry, sister-in-law."
Cheng Shuyi wanted to say just now: "Don't call me sister-in-law. Pei Yanli and I have nothing to do with each other. He is just the father of two children."
"But why do you say he's in jail now? How is he in jail?"
Mo Xiao teased her, "You still say it's okay, but doesn't sister-in-law really care about my brother?"
Cheng Shuyi was still stubborn: "I'm just curious."
Didn’t Pei Yanli go to rescue the emperor?
Why was he suddenly thrown into jail?
Mo Xiao suppressed his cynical expression and told Cheng Shuyi the whole story of what happened in the Imperial Examination Hall without missing a word.
Only then did Cheng Shuyi realize that the King of Yan had stockpiled so much food to prepare for the enemy army.
What surprised her even more was that Sheng Tinglan married into the Prince Regent's Palace in order to use Pei Yanli's voice in the court to subdue all officials after Prince Yan ascended the throne.
It’s just that Prince Yan and his daughter were not so lucky.
Cheng Shuyi suddenly appeared with two children, diverting all of Pei Yanli's attention here.
Sheng Tinglan was ignored as soon as she entered the mansion.
No wonder Cheng Shuyi has always felt confused.
Why did Sheng Tinglan do nothing even though she knew about the existence of her and her two children?
It turned out that her target was only the people in the Regent's Palace.
