Chapter 200 Eating Roasted Whole Lamb
Zhao Lingmeng's thoughts only lasted for a moment. After all, the third child was still young. She thought that after he went out and saw more, he would not be like this anymore.
The best example is the second child, Zhao Houming. He used to be very clingy to me, but later he went to school and had his own social circle and things to do, so now he is not so clingy to Zhao Lingmeng anymore.
Zhao Lingmeng couldn't think so much at the moment. She looked at the flowers in the yard and was in a very good mood.
"Mom, thank you three. I really like the flowers you planted for me."
Zhao Houming and Zhao Houjing both rubbed their heads a bit embarrassedly. Zhao Houming replied honestly, "Actually, my brother and I didn't think about planting flowers. It was only because my third brother kept planting that we started to do the same."
"Even so, I like you very much. You three brothers each have your own merits, and I know them all."
"Mom, how can you be so kind!" Zhao Houjing now truly felt that his mother was kind. He now recalled how excessive and unpleasant his behavior had been in the past, but his mother still tried to treat the three of them equally.
But Zhao Houjing felt that the better his mother was, the more he couldn't reconcile with his past self. He felt that he was very unbearable. But he didn't tell anyone, thinking that maybe when he grew up, he would be able to figure out many things.
"Hmph, Mom has always been very nice!" Zhao Houming was still as arrogant as ever, and still trying to undermine his elder brother.
"Second brother is right!" Zhao Houyang still stood on Zhao Houming's side as always.
Zhao Lingmeng was afraid that the three brothers would start arguing, so she immediately interrupted, "Mom can be even better. How about we have a roasted whole lamb in the yard today?"
"What is roasted whole lamb?" Zhao Houming spoke first. He was sure he had never eaten this before and was very curious.
The other two children looked at Zhao Lingmeng curiously.
But Zhao Lingmeng didn't rush to say it, instead keeping it a secret: "You three will find out in a moment. It's so delicious that you'll even want to swallow your tongue."
Zhao Houjing and the other two were so impatient after hearing just a few words from their mother that they were almost drooling.
Seeing that His Highness was in high spirits, Qiuyue and the others immediately asked their servants to move the things into the yard and instructed the kitchen to serve the roasted whole lamb immediately.
As soon as such a big roasted whole lamb came up, the whole yard was filled with fragrance.
The three Zhao Houjing brothers had never seen this way of eating before, and they were stunned instantly.
Even Zhao Houjing, who was usually the more reserved of the three of them when it came to food, couldn't help but sigh: "Mom, this looks so delicious!"
Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang beside them nodded in agreement, and the three of them immediately surrounded him, occasionally making sounds of praise.
Zhao Lingmeng was also quite happy. This was her first time eating roasted whole lamb since she came here, and she rarely saw lamb for sale. This time, she had bothered Chunshui and the others to find it because she really wanted to eat it while she was sick.
It may be that sick people drink light soups every day, so they want to eat more greasy meat.
At that time, Chunshui and the other four had also been inoculated with the smallpox miracle drug and returned fully recovered. Chunshui immediately wanted to lead his men up the mountain to fight one. However, due to the special circumstances at that time, His Highness was already weak after being inoculated with the smallpox miracle drug. The outside of the manor looked similar to usual, but in fact, many places were under surveillance.
So Chunshui had no choice but to ask Deputy Commander Fan to let him go out. After Deputy Commander Fan knew the reason, he took his men to the mountain and hunted two wild goats and brought them back.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't eat all of it for herself. She asked the kitchen to roast both sheep, gave one to Deputy Commander Fan and Judge Cheng at their farm, and kept one for herself.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the three little guys whose saliva was about to drip onto the sheep, and could only helplessly order: "Chunshui, separate the sheep from here!"
Chunshui nodded, picked up a dagger from the side, and easily cut the sheep in half. Then he stepped aside swiftly.
"Take this half and divide it up! This half is enough for me and the three young masters! As usual, call a few second-class maids up to serve, and you all go down and try it!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Chunshui, Qiuyue and the others knew that His Highness said this because he really wanted them to have a taste. After all, with their status, they would not be able to eat these things if it were not for the master's reward. So they also appreciated the master's kindness.
The three children who were standing around and didn't do anything saw half of the sheep gone in an instant, and the reluctance in their eyes made Zhao Lingmeng almost laugh out loud.
"Don't worry! The four of us can't finish this half!"
"Mom, I'm a big eater..." The kid Zhao Houyang was almost saying to Mom, "Don't look down on me."
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming immediately nodded in agreement with their third brother. They both felt that such a delicious sheep, let alone half of it, they could eat even the other one.
Zhao Ling dreamed of his three sons, all of whom were so serious about eating that he found it quite funny. He could only grumble quietly, "Little guys with big eyes and small bellies!"
Zhao Houjing and his two brothers snorted a few times in dissatisfaction.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care about the three of them! She'd teach them a lesson later. She first showed them how to eat it: dipping it in sauce, wrapping it in vegetables, and it was all quite delicious.
When Zhao Houjing and his two brothers saw their mother start eating, they didn't need anyone to serve them and ate by themselves until their mouths were full of oil. For a moment, no one wanted to talk and everyone just focused on eating.
Deputy Commander Fan's reaction was even more genuine. After finishing his meal, he immediately led his men up the mountain to hunt two more. Zhao Lingmeng was worried that the wild goats around were not enough for them to eat.
After eating the roasted whole lamb sent by Zhao Lingmeng, Court Judge Cheng immediately set off back to Yuanjing. He was very worried about the emperor's health, so he didn't dare to stay for a moment.
Judge Cheng returned to Yuanjing at noon, and by that afternoon, the method for making salt from seawater had already arrived on the emperor's desk, along with a handwritten letter from Zhao Lingmeng.
Anyway, the general meaning is that Zhao Lingmeng was so grateful for the emperor's kindness that he was willing to send the best doctors to her. She came up with this method specifically during her illness to repay the emperor's kindness.
The Emperor really liked this approach of having a positive impact on everything. He didn't feel any dissatisfaction with the fact that Doctor Cheng and his team had been gone for over a month. He was extremely satisfied. At least with this, no one could control them when it came to Jing State's salt needs.
During the time that Zhao Lingmeng lived in the manor, although the fifth prince of Nangan Kingdom had calmed down a bit, he still sent people to inquire about Zhao Lingmeng's affairs.
Knowing that she had gone to the farm, drinking tea and farming every day, and had no intention of returning to Yuanjing in the short term, he could only temporarily ignore Zhao Lingmeng and concentrate on pleasing Princess Huaishu.
