Chapter 142

As soon as the lotus leaves of the Fengtan were opened, the aroma of meat filled the air.

More than a dozen kinds of meat were stewed together, and the aroma permeated each other. Most of them were seafood. The soup looked brown, but it was very fresh, thick but not greasy, and tasted delicious.

Jiang Yanyi usually let Huo Jianjia and the others sit at the table together, but today Feng Shuo was here, and even though the few people were overwhelmed by the aroma of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, they did not dare to cross the line and waited for them to finish first.

While Jiang Yanyi was heating up shrimp and mushroom soup for Feng Shuo, she also took the opportunity to cook some green vegetables. She controlled the heat and seasonings well. Although the green vegetables were a little raw after being fried, they were still green in color. There was not much oil on the vegetables, which made them look appetizing.

She served herself a small bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and brought it to the table. When she picked up the rice bowl, she warmly greeted Feng Shuo: "Would you like to try it?"

Although it was the first time to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the soup was fresh and it was only stewed for two hours after being placed in the pot, but the taste was still very good. The meat in the pot was stewed very soft. Jiang Yanyi felt that it was more fragrant than any other vegetable she had made before. She still hoped that Feng Shuo would try it.

But she was also worried that Feng Shuo had grown up in the palace and had tasted all kinds of delicacies, and felt that the taste was just so-so.

She thought that if she had the opportunity and time in the future, she could make the soup a day in advance and stew it longer after putting it in the pot, so that the taste might be better.

The bowl of shrimp and mushroom soup in front of Feng Shuo was obviously also a meat soup, but in front of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, it looked like a small dish of pickled vegetables.

He quietly moved the soup bowl away, and pushed the rice bowl towards Jiang Yanyi, saying, "Okay."

Jiang Yanyi looked at the rice bowl that he pushed a few inches closer, and was stunned for a moment before she realized that Feng Shuo wanted her to help pick up the dishes. She thought to herself, just pick up whatever you want to eat, who is used to helping him serve the dishes?

But then she thought that Feng Shuo came all the way from the barracks just to coax her, so what's wrong with pampering him once in a while, so she picked a piece of abalone and put it in Feng Shuo's bowl.

Feng Shuo asked Jiang Yanyi to help pick up the dishes, purely because he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and empty the whole soup bowl.

He hadn't eaten flavorful food for nearly half a year. This was the first time he had regained his sense of taste and could have a full meal, and it was still so delicious. Although he had been very restrained in the speed of picking up his chopsticks, after two small bowls were empty, Jiang Yanyi still understood and changed to a large soup pot, scooped a full pot of soup and brought it to Feng Shuo.

Yang Xiu, Bing Shao and others leaned against the pillar outside the guest inn and looked at the sky.

Chenyu was new and had no chance to taste Jiang Yanyi's cooking skills along the way. The only two times she saw Jiang Yanyi cook were when he made soup for Feng Shuo in Huotouying in the morning and when he made this pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall behind the guest inn.

Smelling the rich aroma of meat coming from the house, Chenyu swallowed her saliva several times. She asked Huo Jianjia: "After the master and the prince finish eating, we should be able to eat some of the leftovers, right?"

She used to be a maid in a wealthy family, and knew that only the favored servants in the mansion could enjoy the leftover fish and meat of the master's family first.

Huo Jianjia touched her bulging belly and said, "Probably."

Chenyu heard her turn her head and mutter something like "Sister Qiukui is right" and "glutton", but she didn't know what she was mumbling. After

Feng Shuo finished his meal, Chenyu thought she was very active in grabbing food, but when she saw the posture of Huo Jianjia and Yang Xiu Bing Shao, she had to admit that she had opened her eyes.

Almost everyone had a big bowl in hand, scooped up half a bowl of rice, scooped a few big spoonfuls of meat from the pot and covered the rice, picked up chopsticks and ate the rice directly.

Xing Yao was called to eat with them. He was always polite and was the last one to go to the pot to get the meat. With one spoonful, most of what he scooped up was brown soup.

Although rice mixed with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup is also a delicacy, he still silently warned himself that when eating at Jiang Yanyi's place in the future, he must not pretend to be reserved, otherwise he would not be able to eat good food.

The innkeeper also smelled such delicious food for the first time, and regretted that he did not force a handyman to come in when Jiang Yanyi was cooking, otherwise he could have learned a thing or two. He originally wanted to ask Jiang Yanyi about the recipe for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but after Feng Shuo's personal visit, he completely gave up the idea.

——The other party has a close relationship with the King of Liaoning, so how could he be short of the money from selling recipes?

After dinner, Jiang Yanyi and his party packed their bags and were personally led into the palace by Feng Shuo.

It was different for him to personally welcome people into the palace and for the servants in the palace to receive the guests on his behalf after getting his permission in advance. The former would allow the servants in the palace to directly see how much he valued Jiang Yanyi.

Moreover, the fact that Jiang Yanyi had traveled thousands of miles to transport medicinal materials to Hengzhou and had almost been hijacked by Fan Wei on the way was now known to everyone. With this level of righteousness, no one would dare to say a word against Jiang Yanyi easily.

Jiang Yanyi decided to stay in Hengzhou this time, not only because she wanted to take care of Feng Shuo, but also because the female doctor in the military camp realized a problem.

Feng Shuo will stand higher and higher. If she wants Feng Shuo to be consistent with her, Feng Shuo's own feelings are one aspect, and on the other hand, she also needs the recognition and respect of the soldiers under Feng Shuo.

Isn't this the way the female doctor surnamed An wanted to go at the beginning?

Let the wounded soldiers be grateful to her. Although they have no contact with Feng Shuo, they make people feel that there is something between her and Feng Shuo.

When the time is right, she will make it clear what she feels for Feng Shuo. Even if Feng Shuo doesn't take her seriously, she has gained enough favor among her lower-level soldiers. The soldiers will only think that Feng Shuo is unkind to her.

Now Jiang Yanyi will not give her this opportunity.

After An Suqiu left the barracks in anger, she thought that there were many wounded soldiers in the barracks and the doctors were short of staff. She was fully confident that someone from the barracks would come to ask her to go back soon.

She waited patiently at home for two days, but no one came to see her.

An Suqiu began to feel a little uneasy, thinking that it must be Jiang Yanyi who put pressure on the military doctors. Jiang Yanyi had the support of her family, and she would be the Princess of Liaoning soon. Naturally, the military doctors did not dare to offend her.

The more An Suqiu thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that Jiang Yanyi simply did not care about the lives of the injured soldiers for his own selfish reasons.

When she went out to buy vegetables that day, she heard several aunts in the neighborhood praising Jiang Yanyi.

"Our prince's unmarried princess is really kindhearted. Not only did she send medicine from afar despite the threats, but when she arrived in Hengzhou, she found that there were not enough military doctors in the barracks, so she hired more than a dozen doctors at a high price!"

"My son is serving in the army in the Hengzhou barracks. It is said that the unmarried princess even took money from her own private treasury to buy delicious fish and meat to nourish the wounded soldiers!"

"I saw that girl on the street a few days ago. She was so beautiful. I have never seen anyone like her in my life. She looks like she came out of a painting!"

Hearing these compliments, An Suqiu felt wronged and disgusted. These people had never seen Jiang Yanyi's arrogant face when he spoke to her.

She said, "No matter how beautiful a person is, it's just a shell. I think Miss Chu is not as good as you say!"

Several ladies turned around when they heard the words. An Suqiu was a doctor, and the neighbors usually respected her.

One of the ladies asked, "Suqiu, didn't you go to the military camp to help? When did you come back?"

An Suqiu was afraid of being seen and embarrassed after returning home, so she had been staying at home. When she was asked this question, all her grievances turned into tears and she said, "I was forced back by that Miss Chu!"

She felt that Jiang Yanyi had forced her to that point that day, which was no different from him forcing her.

The ladies looked at each other in bewilderment, "What...what do you mean?"

An Suqiu, who was usually very strong-willed, burst into tears at this moment: "The prince was injured half a month ago, and she knew that I treated the prince. She took advantage of her status to deliberately make things difficult for me, and asked me to treat the injured soldiers according to her method. I didn't dare to take the lives of the soldiers as a joke, so I argued with her. She was born in a noble family, and I am just a commoner. How can I be stronger than her? Naturally, I had to be defeated by her. "She deserves to be taken away!"

When these words came out, some of the ladies sighed, while others looked a little suspicious, sighing: "That princess who has not yet married does not look like such a person..."

An Suqiu smiled bitterly and said: "Aunt Mo, all the medicinal materials in my clinic have been donated to the military camp. If I come back by myself, can I continue to run the clinic?"

Several ladies thought that this was the reason. They were all neighbors. Except for her strong temper and arrogance, An Suqiu's character has always been good.

Several people felt sorry for her experience, and when they thought of Jiang Yanyi, their mood was inevitably complicated.

The news that An Suqiu was humiliated and forcibly taken home by Jiang Yanyi spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

The older ladies and young men were particularly dissatisfied with this. In just a few days, many people came to An Suqiu's house to give gifts and express their condolences.

Only the young girls and wives of each family sneered at this.

An Suqiu was abandoned by her father since she was a child because she was not a boy. He said that no one would take over his clinic in the future. Therefore, An Suqiu was determined to do nothing worse than boys.

She did it, but she was so demanding of herself that when she looked at ordinary women, there was more or less contempt in her eyes, as if she felt that they were inferior to herself.

The young men were used to seeing gentle and considerate women, and when they saw her, who was so temperamental and really capable, they were particularly admiring of her.

In addition, she was not bad-looking, and those from wealthy families would pretend to be sick and come to the clinic to ask her to take a pulse even if they were not sick.

Regarding An Suqiu and Jiang Yanyi, the opinions in Hengzhou soon became polarized.

The ladies felt sorry for An Suqiu's experience, the young men felt that Jiang Yanyi was bullying others by taking advantage of his power, and the young ladies and wives felt that if An Suqiu was really obedient, would she be chased away?

But after all, only a few people knew An Suqiu, and the things that Jiang Yanyi did for the military camp were known to the whole Xizhou City. Those who spoke for An Suqiu could not say more than those who spoke for Jiang Yanyi.

When the news reached Jiang Yanyi's ears, it made Jiang Yanyi laugh.

"I chased her away?" Jiang Yanyi stopped looking at the account, with a hint of mockery on his lips.

Chenyu nodded heavily, also with a look of resentment, "What are those people saying? The man surnamed An donated all his wealth to the military camp. You have so many industries under your name. It doesn't hurt or itch for you to donate those few herbs! They must have been kicked in the head by a donkey! I'm afraid that the man surnamed An won't be able to raise enough herbs you donated to the military camp even if he runs a clinic for his whole life!"

Jiang Yanyi sneered, "That doctor An probably knows that he can't return to the military camp, so he's trying every means to throw a few buckets of dirty water at me to make things difficult for him. Are they now taking advantage of my power to bully me? Since I've driven him away, why don't they return the herbs that Doctor An donated to the military camp to develop it?"

Chenyu Somewhat surprised: "Boss, how do you know?"

Jiang Yanyi said: "That doctor An is very smart. At first, she just wanted to use the donation of medicinal materials to gain a good reputation and enter the military camp to do things. Now that the opportunity to rise to the top is gone, she naturally has to find a way to recover the loss. Medicinal materials are not cheap now."

Huo Jianjia said angrily: "Boss, we can't return it to her! Otherwise, it will be too aggrieved!"

Jiang Yanyi said: "Return it, why not? We have to expose her lies one by one, pour out basins of dirty water on her, and then take the medicinal materials to her doorstep to return them to her."

It depends on whether Doctor An has the face to accept it.

Military Doctor Hu pleaded for mercy before, and she felt that since the person was gone, there was nothing to hold on to. Now it seems that the other party still has not weighed their own weight.
