That mouth showed no mercy and continued, "Hahaha, didn't you notice? Or should I find you a mirror so you can look at yourself?"
Lu Chuan didn't hold back and swept a side kick at Yun Hua, who easily dodged it. The two immediately started fighting.
Xu Han silently stepped aside, appearing quite familiar and experienced with their actions.
Perhaps the noise from their fight was too loud, attracting Wei Yan and Guo Daya from the front yard.
Holding a kitchen knife, Wei Yan looked tremblingly at Xu Han, "Madam, this... this..."
"It's alright, it's alright. You two go ahead and get busy. They're just joking around. Oh, and don't forget to make a few more strongly flavored dishes."
Wei Yan nodded blankly and casually added, "Master Yunhua has already ordered the food."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han thought, "Good heavens, this person really doesn't hold back at all."
She waved her hand, signaling them to hurry up and cook.
Wei Yan was very worried, looking back every few steps at the two people wrestling together, both now bruised and swollen, and didn't know what to say.
Although curious, they didn't ask. It's best for subordinates to keep quiet about their master's affairs and just follow orders.
But in his heart he was thinking, "Did Madam really see that they were both injured? They're bleeding, and she says they're fine."
Xu Han had no idea what Wei Yan and the other man were thinking. She walked over to where Yun Hua had just been, picked up some pastries, and ate them while looking at them.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally stopped, drenched in sweat, and the fight was finally over.
While wiping his sweat, Lu Chuan said, "It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight. I only get this chance when you come back."
Yunhua clearly enjoyed it too, saying, "Likewise."
After saying that, he picked up the tea that Xu Han had already poured for him and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Xu Han stood up and said, "You two should go wash up and change your clothes first. Don't catch a cold in this cold weather."
Yunhua touched her forehead. "I'm sweating. Let's go take a shower, you go cook!"
Xu Han smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go do it. You guys go wash up quickly. We can eat as soon as you're done."
After saying that, she went to the kitchen first. She hadn't cooked in a long time and was rusty. She didn't know if she could do it well.
"Are there still a few dishes that aren't ready?"
While cooking, Wei Yan replied, "Madam, is it time to eat? My meal will be ready soon, and there's also a vegetarian dish."
"Okay, you guys go set the table, I'll add one more dish."
Wei Yan naturally refused, saying, "Madam, how can I let you do it yourself? Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it. Or you can tell me how to make it."
When Xu Han wasn't busy a while ago, she wrote down several recipes for dishes that her family often eats. They were all new methods, but fortunately, they weren't difficult.
Wei Yan was talented; after a few tries, he was able to make it, and some of his attempts even tasted better than Xu Han's.
"It's alright, my old friend just wants to eat my cooking, I'll make it."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yan said nothing more, and asked Guo Daya to set the table while he helped Xu Han with the cooking.
Wei Yan rarely liked the new recipes Xu Han gave him; he treasured them rotten.
Many of the cooking methods inside were ones he had never seen before. Before seeing the recipes, he had never even imagined that food could be prepared in this way.
Although many dishes are available in this era, Wei Yan doesn't know how to cook every single one.
In ancient times, it was believed that skills should not be passed on to outsiders, and there was even a saying that teaching an apprentice could lead to the master starving. Therefore, many people would hold back some skills when teaching apprentices.
As an apprentice, one can only figure out one's own unique recipe during one's career. Over time, fewer and fewer people know about many of these recipes.
As the saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you." This saying is most applicable here.
But Xu Han had no such concerns at all.
Wei Yan can cook many common dishes, but he can't cook some unusual and delicious ones.
For example, he doesn't know how to make plum-flavored spare ribs, sweet and sour pork, or some other more modern dishes.
Wei Yan's skills are good, but they are ultimately too limited.
With Xu Han's guidance, his cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds during this period.
Now that Xu Han was personally cooking, how could he miss such a good opportunity?
Xu Han's various cooking skills were all learned from short videos in her previous life; they were the kind of little tricks that anyone who knows how to cook would know.
But here, it becomes a unique, secret technique.
With Wei Yan's help, she quickly added a few more dishes.
In addition to what Yunhua specifically ordered, we added some dishes that were easy to make and that Yunhua liked to eat.
"Alright, hurry up and cut it over!"
Wei Yan took the food from Xu Han's hands. "Alright, Madam, please go to the side hall first. The food will be delivered there shortly."
Xu Han nodded, turned around and left the kitchen.
After the meal was set out, Lu Chuan and Yun Hua had also finished taking a bath. Fortunately, Guo Daya had turned on the underfloor heating in advance, so the side hall was not cold at this time.
"Come and eat, it's all your favorite food."
Upon seeing this, Yunhua couldn't wait to sit down and began to eat heartily.
Although I had just eaten something to fill my stomach, it was nothing compared to the food on the table; it was like comparing heaven and earth.
While eating, he mumbled, "Delicious, delicious. Did you make this? No, you have to make this for me next time."
I've been craving this for so long, I've been craving it so much that I wake up in the middle of the night to drink water. Now that I'm back, I'm determined to have it.
Xu Han laughed and said, "Haha, you can really tell the difference in my cooking. Okay, okay, I'll arrange it for you. I promise that this dish will be on the table every day while you're at home, is that alright?"
"Haha, that's not necessary. You can't eat that every meal. Even the best food can't be eaten every day." Everyone laughed at this.
Halfway through the meal, Xu Han finally spoke up and asked, "Didn't you write that the person delivering the imperial decree would come with you? Where is he? I haven't seen him."
"You're here? I've taken some men to the county government office first." Then he continued, "You don't know how troublesome it is to receive an imperial edict. Moreover, there are specific times and such for delivering an edict. In short, there are a lot of troublesome things."
I'm afraid you won't understand these rules, and if you offend His Majesty, someone with ulterior motives might file a complaint against you, which would be even more troublesome.
So I came back first to help with the preparations; the messenger will come tomorrow.
Xu Han thought it made sense. She had never encountered such a thing in her life, let alone in her past life.
After all, this is ancient times, so we should be careful in everything we do.
Although the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao knew the procedure, they weren't here right now, and they had forgotten to mention it when they came last time.
Lu Chuan nodded. "Oh, I see. I thought he wasn't coming."
"What do we need to prepare? Write down a list in a bit, and I'll get it ready."
