Chapter 168: Inspiration from Roses



After eating the roast pork and drinking the soup, Gao Zhijun started to roast fish, shrimp and snails.

The grilled fish smells delicious and the shrimps are fresh.

Gao Zhijun recommends that the elderly and children eat more fish and shrimp, especially shrimp, which is high in calcium and is the most suitable calcium supplement for the elderly and children.

"Sixth sister-in-law, this shrimp is really delicious, even better than crayfish."

"Auntie, the shrimp are really delicious, your cooking skills are really good!"

"Cousin, your cooking skills are better than grandma's!"

"Zhijun, what kind of shrimp is this? It's so delicious."

"Yes, wait a minute, catch some more and give them a taste."

After eating the shrimps, the children and the elderly all praised Gao Zhijun highly.

"If you like, eat more. These are called river shrimp. They are very nutritious and are very suitable for the elderly and children to supplement calcium. After you are full, go catch some more to take back."

Seeing that they liked it very much, Gao Zhijun answered them one by one.

When the elderly and children heard that they could eat more to supplement calcium, they really started to eat as much as they could.

There was almost not enough food for them, so Xiao Cui and the others helped to cook.

Only after the elderly and children have eaten their fill will we start cooking for the adults.

Most adults ate fish and only a small amount of shrimp.

"Miss, this fish is so delicious. I didn't expect fish could be eaten like this."

Xiaohua said contentedly while eating the fish.

The grilled fish is fragrant and sweet, with its original flavor, but it is not fishy. It has a little bit of spicy taste with a little chili pepper, and it is really delicious.

She cooked three fish and ate them all. She had never felt so satisfied eating fish before.

"Yes, the fish is really delicious, and the shrimp is delicious too. I am so happy to be able to follow you, Miss!"

Xiaoyu also ate and talked.

Since being bought by the young lady, she has only been responsible for taking care of Master Yuxuan, and she doesn't have to do any other work. She also eats delicious fish and meat every day, and she has gained a little weight.

In the past, at home, she was a money-loser, doing the heaviest and dirtiest work, eating the worst food, and often being beaten, scolded, and starved. That was fine, but they still wanted to sell her.

At first, she was bought into a landlord's house. The landlord was very mean and harsh. The landlord and the young master saw that she was a little pretty and wanted to take advantage of her every day. When the landlord found out, she became furious and sold her. She was then bought back by the young lady.

She was very glad to be bought by the lady. Here she didn't have to worry about anyone doing something bad to her, nor did she have to eat leftover food juice.

"Zhijun, this is really delicious. What is it called?"

Mrs. Lu was slowly eating a fish. This fish was cooked for her by Gao Zhijun. It was really crispy and delicious. She liked it very much.

"It's delicious, so you guys should eat more. Auntie, this is called barbecue. Cooking fish like this will keep its original flavor."

Seeing that they liked it, Gao Zhijun asked them to eat more. If it was not enough, they could catch more fish. There were still many fish in the pond.

Everyone enjoyed the meal to their heart's content, and at the end there were a few roasted fish left over that could not be finished. No one had ever eaten the food Gao Zhijun cooked at home.

After eating, Qinglong took Baihu and the others to the pond to catch fish and shrimps. The lady said she would have another barbecue tonight.

Gao Zhijun took Huo Jinqian and Canglang to the right to see if there were any modern things there.

The rest stayed to rest.

After walking for a long time, they saw a small pepper forest. Gao Zhijun was so happy that she almost sang a modern song.

The three of them worked together to pick the red chilies, filling three backpacks before continuing on their way.

This time, I saw a lot of wild flowers: roses, jasmine, and wild chrysanthemums.

Wow, I can eat rose cake tonight.

If you want to make rouge, you must find cochineal insects, which live on cacti.

The rouge here didn't have cochineal insects. She bought a box and tried it, but the color wasn't very good and it was fading. She wondered if there were no cacti here or if they didn't know cochineal insects. To make good rouge powder, you have to find cochineal insects.

However, they cannot be used to make rouge, but these flowers can be used as food or bath gel.

"Let's pick these flowers and make rose cakes for everyone tonight."

Gao Zhijun pointed to the wild flowers on the ground and said.

"County Lady, is that a rose?"

Canglang pointed at the roses and asked.

"Hey, our Canglang brother also knows about roses. Does he have a girl he likes?"

Gao Zhijun said jokingly.

It is intriguing that a grown man actually knows about roses.

"Please don't tease me, my lady. I don't have any favorite girl. It's just that the Crown Prince's Mansion has been purchasing roses for many years to use for the bathing of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. I have seen His Royal Highness bathing."

The shy wolf blushed and explained.

Yes! Didn’t they show on TV that women and men in ancient times liked to put flower petals in the water when bathing?

"Your Highness is taking a rose bath, I really can't tell."

Imagine a grown man soaking in a rose pond. The picture is a bit eye-catching.

"Your Highness doesn't know that the emperor and his ministers all take rose and safflower baths."

Canglang explained.

"I was narrow-minded and thought men didn't like flowers, after all, flowers represent women. But when I think about it, a tall and strong man soaking in a pool of roses is really an eyesore."

"However, your words reminded me that since men all like to take rose baths, I know what business I should start."

Gao Zhijun thought that men also like fragrance, so if she made a shower gel, it would definitely be a hit.

"What business?"

Huo Jinqian asked Gao Zhijun.

In fact, the love of beauty is not only shared by women, but also by men.

Especially in front of the beloved woman, the whole body exudes fragrance, which makes many men feel confident.
