The roast duck was indeed much faster than Song Yan'er. Don't let its small size fool you; it was incredibly fast! Moving swiftly through the fruit trees, the roast duck and Song Yan'er finished their work before evening. Song Yan'er was in a great mood and wanted to cook something delicious for the roast duck!
Ever since tasting the delicious roast duck, the roast duck has lost its appetite for medicinal herbs. Whenever it asks Song Yan'er to make some more, Song Yan'er always refuses outright. This infuriates the roast duck so much that it wants to run away from home every day.
Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise this time!
When Song Yan'er returned to the estate, the old lady was at the door, seemingly preparing to leave:
"Grandma, it's so late, where are you going?"
The old lady glanced at Song Yan'er from head to toe: "I went to look for you. I woke up and you weren't there. I thought something had happened to you. You're my granddaughter-in-law. If something happened to you, how would I explain it to Xiao Yang? Don't you know how late it is? You still know to come back. Did you have some romantic encounter outside?"
Song Yan'er...
"Grandma, could you please stop saying that? That's quite a shocking thing!"
"What's there to be afraid of? The men here all have three wives and four concubines, so why should we women have to remain faithful to one woman!"
Suddenly, Song Yan'er seemed to remember something. She looked at the old lady with a slightly lewd gaze that made the old lady's skin crawl.
"Can you stop looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
Song Yan'er: "That's right, I just want to know if Grandma ever cuckolded the late Emperor! It's kind of exciting to think about!"
The old lady was shocked by Song Yan'er's bold statement: "Ahem, you little brat, you have no manners! Is this something you need to worry about? You should be thinking about how to keep Xiao Yang's feelings for you!"
Song Yan'er...
Ha, what a contradiction!
Song Yan'er went to the kitchen to start cooking. Only the gang leader and his five men were there, and they usually barely ate anything. So Song Yan'er decided to cook for herself and treat everyone!
I took out a large amount of vegetables and fruits from the space, and I also had a lot of meat stored in the space before, so I don't have to worry about the ingredients at all.
Since I came into this world, I haven't cooked a proper meal many times. My mother has always been the one doing all the cooking, and now I feel like I've become rusty!
Fortunately, after making two dishes, I felt familiar with the process and quickly finished the rest of the dishes.
"Yan'er, your cooking skills are really good! I always thought you were like me! Let me tell you, I'm terrible at cooking, my dishes are a complete disaster. I could feed them to a dog and it wouldn't eat them! Yours is really good, did you learn it on purpose? By the way, did you make the red wine you mentioned before? I miss that taste so much!" The old lady was still praising Song Yan'er while eating.
"Image, image! One should not speak while eating or sleeping!"
You're practically the Empress Dowager, yet you eat so much!
old lady……
"I'm from your hometown now, not that kind of thing, you understand?"
Song Yan'er...
The gang leader also enjoyed the meal. He hadn't eaten so much in a long time. Their usual meals were just cooked food that was edible, nothing compared to this!
The next morning, Song Yan'er got up early to cook. She ground soybeans from the soybeans in her space to make soy milk, and also made scallion pancakes and savory pancakes. If she was worried it wouldn't be enough, she also steamed corn and sweet potatoes. This would definitely be enough to fill her up!
Just as she finished cooking, she saw Bai Zihua sitting in the courtyard, his eyes meeting Song Yan'er's. Bai Zihua looked slightly embarrassed.
"Good morning, sister-in-law!"
"Good morning, what brings you here!"
"Before my cousin left, he asked me to run errands for you, but I couldn't find you as soon as I got up that day. I asked my uncle and aunt, but they didn't know where you were either. They just said you went to the estate you bought. Do you know how much effort I put into finding you here?" Bai Zihua looked aggrieved, which made Song Yan'er, who originally wanted to tease him, not open her mouth.
"Uh, I didn't know, otherwise I would have invited you to come with me that day! Okay, let's eat breakfast first!"
"Little Hua's here! Come to Grandma's side, you look so thin!"
Song Yan'er...
I'll just quietly watch you perform!
The old lady felt Song Yan'er's gaze, turned around and glared at her: "See? Isn't this how it is in the palace? Don't you find it strange that you can't see Bai Zihua?"
"Grandma, I haven't lost weight, I've gotten stronger! My martial arts skills are already at level three!"
The old lady simply said, "Okay, Yan'er, is breakfast ready? I'm starving!"
"Grandma, everything's ready. Let's go eat! Do you need me to help you, Grandma?"
old lady……
The three of them sat at the dinner table. The old lady drank the soy milk and her eyes widened. "Ah, this is the taste! It's so delicious!" she said, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.
"Back when I was in the palace, I also had people grind soybeans to make soy milk, but none of it tasted as delicious as yours! Yan'er, why don't you just come back to the palace with me! I'll let you experience what it's like to be second only to the emperor!"
"I would be very grateful!"
You yourself want to escape, yet you want me to fall into your trap!
Am I stupid?
old lady……
After finishing their meal, Song Yan'er led Bai Zihua to the top of the hill.
Song Yan'er: "How do you think I should sell this orchard?"
Xiao Yang: "Hmm? You want to give it to me?"
"And here are a hundred acres of watermelons. They'll be fully ripe in less than two months, and they'll taste just like the watermelons you ate at my house. How about we go for something big?" Song Yan'er said to Bai Zihua, pointing to a large area that was still full of watermelon seedlings.
"Great! Watermelons are a rare commodity, so they always fetch a high price. And with so many here, we really need to plan this carefully!" Bai Zihua was surprised that her cousin-in-law trusted her so much, entrusting her with such a large business deal!
