Nanny Tian and Chunlan helped Gao Zhijun make mooncakes until dusk, when they finally made ten five-kernel barbecued pork cakes, ten fruit cakes, ten double-yolk cakes, and ten red bean cakes. They only managed to bake twenty mooncakes, and would bake the rest after dinner.
"Mom, where are Dad and Big Brother? Why aren't they coming for dinner?"
At the dinner table, Gao Zhijun asked Liu Ningchu curiously.
Usually, my father and eldest brother are the most active in eating. They exercise a lot and get hungry easily.
"Them? They definitely can't eat now."
Liu Ningchu remembered that she had just seen her husband and son with their mouths full of mooncake crumbs, and she knew what bad things they had done.
"Why?"
Gao Zhijun asked in confusion.
Is there anything delicious today? They couldn’t even finish dinner after eating anything.
Mooncakes? Would they steal them and eat them?
"They went to steal the snowy mooncakes and eat them. Now there's no room for them to eat anymore."
Liu Ningchu told her daughter that she saw the two people coming back in a hurry today with mooncake crumbs on their mouths.
Sure enough, as she guessed, her father and elder brother couldn't resist the temptation of mooncakes and went to eat them secretly.
What she is worried about now is their stomachs, worried that they will have indigestion and food accumulation.
"Chunlan, go make some sour plum soup and send it to the general and the young master."
Gao Zhijun instructed Chunlan.
Let them drink some sour plum soup first. If that doesn’t work, she will give them some digestive pills.
"Yes, Miss!"
After Chunlan finished speaking, she went to the small kitchen to cook sour plum soup.
It turned out that after Nanny Tian left, General Huoqi found an excuse to leave.
Murong Yuanbo and Murong Fu watched the departing General of the Cavalry, and they understood each other. Murong Yuanbo also made an excuse to go to the study to deal with military affairs. Murong Fu, on the other hand, said he had to check on the soldiers' recuperation and left.
The general secretly walked to the ice cellar, and found that there were indeed a lot of snowy mooncakes inside. He happily picked up the snowy mooncakes and gobbled them up. Just as he was enjoying his meal, Murong Yuanbo also sneaked in.
"Okay! You said you were going back, but it turns out you came here to steal food. This is against military regulations, and you will be punished with twenty military sticks."
When Murong Yuanbo saw that the General of Cavalry had eaten a lot of snow skin mooncakes, he was so angry that his face turned black. He wanted to beat the General of Cavalry severely to vent his anger.
This was made by his daughter with great effort, how could he steal so much?
"General, you're here to steal food too. Let's not laugh at each other when we're only a hundred steps apart."
The General of Cavalry was not afraid of embarrassment at all. We were all the same people, no matter what, so no one should criticize anyone else.
"This general is not here to steal food; he is here to eat it openly. The snowy mooncakes were made by this general's daughter. She made them for this general. It's a family matter, not a violation of military regulations. But you are different. This general's daughter has nothing to do with you. You are violating military regulations and deserve a beating with a military stick."
Murong Yuanbo said shamelessly.
The mooncakes were made by his daughter, and he, as a father, wanted to eat them. Is this against any military rules? Is this a joke?
The general thought Murong Yuanbo was right; eating mooncakes made by his own daughter was not a violation of military regulations. So, for mooncakes, let him be punished with a military stick.
"After I finish eating, I will go to lead the army."
After the General of Cavalry finished speaking, he continued to eat the snow skin mooncake.
Murong Yuanbo also began to eat the mooncakes without hesitation, leaving everything else aside.
Murong Fu arrived a little late, and Murong Yuanbo and the General of Cavalry had already eaten a lot.
The three of them looked at each other, smiled at each other, and understood each other tacitly.
Everyone fell silent and started eating.
The three of them left the ice cellar only after they had eaten so much that they could no longer eat. They were all freezing.
Murong Yuanbo and Murong Fu ran a lap and returned to the yard after they warmed up.
The General of Cavalry ran to the parade ground, was beaten with twenty military sticks, and dragged his injured body back to his courtyard.
A soldier must keep his word. If he says he will lead the army, he must lead the army.
In the evening, Murong Yuanbo and Murong Fu had stomachaches and fevers.
Gao Zhijun was woken up by Nanny Tian, who came over to take Murong Yuanbo's pulse and then fed him some digestive pills.
This is gastrointestinal inflammation, and the fever was caused by staying in the ice cellar for a long time.
After taking the digestive pills, Gao Zhijun asked her mother to wipe her father's body to reduce his fever.
She went to see Murong Fu, whose condition was the same as Murong Yuanbo's: indigestion and gastroenteritis. After taking the medicine, Gao Zhijun applied a cold compress to him until his temperature dropped, and then she left.
The General of Cavalry on the other side was in a more serious condition. Not only did he have a stomachache and fever, but the wound on his back was also festering.
After examining him, Doctor Huang cleaned the wound, applied anti-inflammatory powder, and prescribed a prescription to help with the accumulated thoughts, asking someone to boil the medicine.
The next day, Murong Yuanbo and Murong Fu were fine, but the General of Cavalry had to lie in bed to rest and could not get up.
When Gao Zhijun found out, she was speechless. This was the consequence of being greedy.
She went to see the General of Cavalry, then changed the prescription and asked someone to boil the medicine. She gave the General of Cavalry a unique anti-inflammatory pill of hers.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the military camp is bustling with activity.
The cooks started to prepare dinner, as they would add more dishes to celebrate the festival tonight.
Gao Zhijun and Nanny Tian continued to make mooncakes, making sure every soldier could have a small piece.
Liu Ningchu also helped to make mooncakes.
By the afternoon, twenty mooncakes of each flavor had been made, along with a few snow-skin mooncakes. She assigned the remaining unbaked mooncakes to Nanny Tian and Chunlan. She was going to make them for tonight's dinner.
The one helping her was still Huo Jinqian. Their relationship had progressed by leaps and bounds since Gao Zhijun confessed her love yesterday, and Huo Jinqian was becoming more and more attached to Gao Zhijun.
Dinner is ready and the mooncakes are baked.
Chunlan called all the generals and above to come for dinner, and asked the soldiers to take the mooncakes back to distribute, so that every soldier could have some mooncakes to relieve their homesickness.
The dinner was very rich, with twelve dishes and three tables.
Gao Zhijun and her parents, elder brother, Huo Jinqian, Chunlan, Nanny Tian, Qinglong, Moxue, and Canglang were on one stage; His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his men were on another stage; the General of the Cavalry was on another stage with his generals.
After eating and drinking, we served mooncakes to everyone and everyone praised them highly.
