Sanyazi had already discovered that Gu Hong had done many things for Shen Ningsi that he had never dared to imagine in the past.
But he never thought that Gu Hong would one day cook for a woman.
"General, there are so many chefs in the capital. If you are willing to look for one, you can always find a good pastry chef. Why would you need to do it yourself?"
San Yazi advised, "Besides, if what you make doesn't suit Madam's taste, wouldn't that be a waste of time and energy?"
Gu Hong's expression froze slightly. How could he not know his own abilities?
It can be said that she has no talent at all in cooking! Wasn't it just to find a cook for the family and eat some decent food when she accepted Shen Ningsi's promise to her?
"Do you understand my feelings?"
Gu Hong gritted his teeth fiercely, "What I made myself is so precious, how can you judge it by taste!"
Although Shen Ningsi was still angry, seeing that he could do this for his family, she should treat him better no matter what!
Looking at Gu Hong's righteous look, Sanyazi's words were stuck in his throat.
Come on, no matter what he says, Gu Hong won’t listen, right?
"I will go find a pastry chef for the general right away."
Gu Hong hummed in satisfaction. He did all these things for Shen Ningsi, and the woman must be very touched.
Not to mention being able to let the children call him dad, at least they won’t be kicking him out anytime and anywhere anymore.
Gu Hong, who was dreaming of a better life in the future, decided to go to Fan Xing to discuss increasing the potato planting.
"Fan Xing was ordered by His Majesty to come to Wanning Village to provide disaster relief. However, the only useful thing he did was to rescue the Gu family from Black Cloud Village."
Gu Hong sneered, "I really don't know what kind of shit luck I had to meet such a lucky star as Gu."
Not only did he say this, but even Fan Xing himself had sighed several times in front of Zhao Xianxing and others that meeting Shen Ningsi on this trip was simply a blessing from heaven.
With Shen Ningsi around, Fan Xing didn't have to worry about finding food and water at all. The only thing he did was to maintain order in Wanning Village.
"The general seems to be very proud of his wife." Sanyazi couldn't help but teasing.
"I think it's not just Lord Fan who's lucky, General Yu is lucky too!"
Gu Hong glanced at him and said, "When Gu sold herself to bury her father, wasn't it only me who helped her?"
"Instead of saying I'm lucky, you might as well say that Gu and I are destined to be together. Otherwise, I never show kindness to others casually. How could I have happened to meet Gu?"
After more than half a year of fighting on the battlefield, Gu Hong originally thought that he had long forgotten these trivial things.
But he didn't expect that when he said this, the image of Shen Ningsi kneeling on the ground with a pale face flashed uncontrollably in his mind.
He didn't even notice that his voice had uncontrollably become softer.
"Look at Gu's current personality. She's not the type to not struggle in the face of difficulties. But she actually chose to sell herself to bury her father. It can only be said that our minds collided."
San Yazi couldn't help but nod his head. "Madam is indeed not a weak person. I can't believe that she actually sold herself to bury her father."
Shen Ningsi would rather suffer herself than bow to Gu Hong. You know, Gu Hong is now a great general who enjoys a certain reputation in the entire Great Zhao Dynasty. Shen Ningsi is not moved by him. It is really rare to find a woman who cannot be moved by wealth and status.
When Shen Ningsi brought out the dishes, he saw Gu Hong with a smug look on his face.
"I thought the general would be depressed when he realized his incompetence, but it seems I was overthinking it."
As time went by, Shen Ningsi became more relaxed in front of Gu Hong.
Moreover, Gu Hong did not act like a general. Even if she was unyielding in her words occasionally, the man would not necessarily get angry.
"Just now, when I saw the general leaving the kitchen with a look of defiance on his face, I thought he would find a place to practice his cooking skills. I didn't expect you to be so happy now. I guess you don't take these things to heart."
In order to avoid getting her clothes dirty, Shen Ningsi made an apron.
She wiped her hands lightly on her coarse apron and casually put her loose hair back on her head.
Gu Hong stared at the wooden hairpin on Shen Ningsi's temples with a slightly darkened look in his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a few breaths, he spoke.
"I thought you despised me for not having any talent in this area and would never let me into the kitchen again. Now it seems I still have a chance."
Gu Hong pulled the corners of his mouth together, looking playful and unusually frivolous.
But his face was tough and angular, and this smile made Shen Ningsi's heart jump.
"If I just want to enter the kitchen at home at any time, then I must have a legitimate identity. Gu, do you mean that I can stay at home and practice cooking skills in the future?"
Shen Ningsi came back to his senses and pinched his palm hard.
"Dream on!"
"Then why are you unhappy with me for not practicing my craft?"
It was obvious that Gu Hong would not give up until he got the answer that satisfied him.
Looking at the man raising his eyebrows slightly, Shen Ningsi gritted his teeth viciously.
"Gu Hong, you shine brightly when you get a little sunshine, right?"
She was not a person without edges and corners, and in her opinion, Gu Hong's identity and other things were not enough to make her bow down and fawn on him.
He punched Gu Hong and said, "If you cook delicious meals, you'll be able to take care of yourself in the future, right? My thugs have already told me that if the fireman doesn't heat up the food and deliver it to your office, you'll starve for three days and three nights. So, is it that your body, Gu Hong, isn't made of flesh but iron?"
What would happen even if Shen Ningsi tried his best?
For Gu Hong, it still didn't hurt at all. Instead, he felt happy.
"Gu, are you concerned about me?"
“…”
Shen Ningsi felt her heart tighten, and she immediately turned around to give Gu Hong another look, as she felt it was a waste of energy.
After going into the room and calling the children out to eat, Shen Ningsi picked up An An and Kang Kang and weighed them in his arms.
Just when she was happy that An An and Kang Kang had gained some weight, the voice that could not be driven away sounded behind her again.
"fine,
An An's features have all inherited your gentleness. If she grew up to be like Kang Kang, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to understand."
Gu Hongxin walked in and looked at An An's big eyes that were rolling like grapes. His eyes softened involuntarily.
"If those old men in the capital saw my daughter, they would probably die of envy!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched An An's little face.
