Skillful Wife of Military - C54

After a while, Xiao Da Yong and two strong men walked over.

Xiao Xiuer and a few other kids who were looking out for the show were so scared that they almost choked. Xu Hui was also scared that she did not throw the rolling pin in her hand, but when she saw Xiao Da Yong holding onto the brawny guy’s arm, he forced herself to act calm and greeted him with a smile: “Come, come sit on the brick bed!”

The muscular man grinned and the flesh scar moved along with him. Xu Hui stared at the muscular man’s chin and did not dare to look up. Xu Hui smiled and called for everyone to get on the brick bed, then went to the kitchen to boil some ginger soup, before letting Gou Sheng and Xiao Xiuer go in to wrap some dumplings.

After the ginger soup was ready, Xu Hui came in with the ginger soup. When she saw the scene in the room, she could not help but frown.

Since it was cold in the sky, and needed a place to wrap the dumplings, Xu Hui could only smile helplessly as she watched Gou Sheng and the other children lowering their heads and not daring to look. She also wanted to wrap the dumplings up, but Gou Sheng and were so scared by the one-eyed burly man that the children became scared too.

Xu Hui placed the ginger soup on the table, smiled and said to the two muscular men that Xiao Dayong and Gou Sheng brought back, “We just moved here, there’s nothing much to welcome. My two brothers, drink some ginger soup, and drive away the cold.”

“Wifey, this is our Camp’s brother, Brother Zhao Tiechui, Brother Zhao,” Xiao Dazong said to Xu Hui while pointing at the muscular man who was missing an eye.

Xu Hui heard from Xiao Da Yong that this person was famous for his strength. His eye was also blind from being injured in battle, so he was not afraid anymore. She looked at Zhao Tiechui and laughed, “Brother Zhao!”

Zhao Tiechui looked at Xu Hui, his lips trembling slightly as he answered stiffly.

“This is Brother Er Zhuang,” Xiao Dazong said to Xu Hui, pointing at another man.

Xu Hui laughed and shouted, “Brother Er Zhuang!”

“Sister-in-law, knowing that you guys have come, everyone is very happy. We’ve gotten promoted again. We came over to congratulate you, but there’s nothing good. These two rabbits were beaten up this morning, so let’s give them a tooth sacrifice.” The dark faced man called Er Zhuang handed two rabbits to Xu Hui with a smile.

Xu Hui hurriedly took over the smiling and said, “I just said that we’re not familiar with this place, and there’s nowhere to buy things even if we want to. Brother Erheng just happened to bring in the rabbit, and I’ll go over to the stove to fix it right now. You two brothers can just take a drink together, and when we came, we brought some home wine, so it’s not really a good wine, but I’ll heat it up and you guys can taste it?”

Seeing Xu Hui and Xiao Xiuer going out, Zhao Tiechui gave Xiao Da Yong a big thumbs up. He glanced at Gou Sheng, Mother and the rest, and leaned over to Xiao Da Yong and said softly, “I didn’t believe you before, but I thought you were just bragging and now I believe you. You sure are lucky to have married such a good wife.

“Hehehehe!” Er Geng pushed Gou Sheng: “The one who followed Sister-in-law out is your future wife?”

Gou Sheng stuck out his chest and nodded. Er Zhuang could not help but pat the back of Gou Sheng’s head. He looked at Zhao Tiechui and said, “Big brother Zhao, I said, if even Gou Sheng has a wife now, you have to hurry and find one, if you want me to say, find a wife, you can’t do it like that.”

Zhao Tiechui rolled his eyes in annoyance. All of you already have wives, and you still want to mock me? You can’t pick any wives, which one of you didn’t pick.

Xu Hui and Xiao Xiuer were busy in the kitchen, entertaining guests for the first time.

However, there were nothing good in this house right now. Xu Hui thought for a while and took out the peanuts, letting Xiao Xiuer peel them and fried them into peanut with oil. She cut half of the pickled vegetables into strips and soaked them in the sauce. Then, he prepared a piece of pickled vegetables. This way, she would be able to make two vegetarian dishes.

After that, the meat was naturally the rabbit meat. Red braised rabbit meat was the most delicious, but unfortunately, it took a lot of time and was devoid of soy sauce.

Xu Hui put the dried chili in a small pot and boiled it for about ten to twenty minutes. Then she chopped the garlic, ginger, and dried chilli into a clump.

He wanted Xiao Xiuer to heat up the frying pan, add a little more oil into the pan, and pour the chopped capsicum Rong over. He put the sliced rabbit meat into a bowl and stir-fried it until it smelled good. He then poured oil into the wok and heated it up. He added the pepper and waited for its fragrance to come out. Then, he poured the rabbit meat into the wok and stir-fried it.

When the rabbit meat was somewhat dry, he added some soy sauce and continued to stir-fry it. With salt added, the meat was seasoned and served in a pan.

Xiao Xiuer sniffed: “Sister-in-law, it smells so good!”

Xu Hui took a piece and handed it over to Xiao Xiuer, who said embarrassedly, “Sister-in-law, I’m not eating, I’m not a child anymore.”

“What little baby, what little baby, help sister-in-law taste it!”

Only then did Xiao Xiuer put the rabbit meat into her mouth, chewed it for a while and said, “It’s so spicy, it’s so fragrant!”

Xu Hui laughed, and asked Xiao Xiuer to bring the peanut and fried rabbit meat up, then quickly made herself another pickled vegetable powder. Because there weren’t enough dishes, Xu Hui was afraid of not having enough to eat, so she simply made a bowl of pickled vegetables.

Xu Hui cut the remaining rabbit into pieces and prepared to stew it. However, there were only a few pieces of meat, so when Xu Hui thought of the radishes she still had, he prepared to make a rabbit meat to stew it.

Cut the rabbit into pieces and clean, rinse with water, rinse with radish, cut with green onions, slice with ginger. Since there was no soy sauce, Xu Hui added a bit of Mao sauce to make the dish. She waited until the rabbit meat had been stir-fried to add more of the radish and then added water to simmer. When the radish was done cooking, she would add some salt to the sauce and leave the pot.

When Xu Hui was done with her work, Gou Sheng’s mother and the rest had already wrapped the dumplings. Xu Hui thought for a while but did not directly cook the dumplings. Camp’s group of people had a huge appetite, after all these dumplings were all cooked, they would only have enough food for them to eat, so it was better to give them two bowls of dumplings so that they could use their hot food as their main dish.

Xu Hui and Gou Sheng’s table also started to boil dumplings. Gou Sheng placed a wooden box on the brick bed and set it as the table, while Xu Hui carried the pickled vegetables and rabbit meat stewed with radish to the table, telling the children to eat first. Xu Hui and Gou Sheng’s mother quickly boiled the dumplings.

The fragrant and spicy stir-fried rabbit meat, the refreshing and sour vegetables, the rabbit meat stewed radish with a rich broth as well as the sweet and delicious food made Zhao Tiechui and the others unable to raise their heads up in time.

As Er Zhu ate, he could not help but exclaim, “Dahuang-ge, you are really lucky! Sister-in-law’s cooking skills are even better than that of the County City’s Feng Le Restaurant!” The best food that Erhuan had ever eaten was the dishes of the county’s Feng Le Restaurant. The Feng Le Restaurant in Python County was a auction house of the Feng Le Restaurant in Beijing (Feng Le Restaurant was a restaurant opened by the Qi Dynasty’s government department, and was the most famous restaurant in the imperial court.

The head chef from the Feng Le Restaurant in Beijing had even cooked dishes for the emperor. The most delicious dish that Erzhu had ever eaten in his life was the one made by Master of Feng Le Restaurant in Jing County, which Commander Lin had invited them to eat after their victory in the battle last time. Now that he compared his culinary skills with Xu Hui’s, it was a sincere praise for Xu Hui’s culinary skills. Xiao Dayong was delighted when he heard this, “How can our crude rice compare with the food from the Feng Fu Restaurant? Brother Erheng likes it, so come often!”

It was said that a dish of vegetables was worth several tens of pieces. If not for the victory in the last battle, the Commander Lin, or the fact that the current Lin Qianhu was treating him to a meal, he probably wouldn’t be able to eat the same food as the Feng Le Restaurant in his entire life. It was not easy to eat one meal from the Feng Le Restaurant, but it was much easier to eat the food cooked by the Dazong’s daughter-in-law.

Zhao Tiechui and Er Zhu secretly exchanged a look of tacit understanding. They would finally have a place to satisfy their craving in the future!

The snow kept falling non-stop. Seeing that they were really going to close the door, Xiao Dazong and Gou Sheng hurriedly cleared the door when it was dark, else they wouldn’t be able to open it tomorrow morning.

Xu Hui was worried. She had said that she would deliver a message to his family, but it was snowing so heavily that no one could get out. How could she deliver a message?

Xu Hui frowned and said, “We said that we would report back to the Kepin to report our safety, but why would we bring a message home when it’s snowing?”

Xiao Dazong heard Xu Hui’s words and frowned. He thought for a moment and said, “I’ll get someone to ask if I can get a message from the people at the relay station.”

“Can’t you write?” Xu Hui felt like he was writing a letter to Xu Jingan and the rest.

Xiao Da Yong shook his head: “The relay stations are built by the government and can only be used to pass on official documents. Even the Lin Qianhu cannot send letters.”

“Alright then, get someone to help deliver a message to my family.”

“Yes, my wife, don’t worry. The family knows that we’ll be fine here. I’ll go out and find someone to ask.”

However, Xu Hui did not think so. It was snowing heavily now, so it would be difficult to train without fighting, and the soldiers could not even train. Since the Lin Qianhu was so close, it would be better to walk around as well.

Seeing that Xiao Da Yong didn’t quite agree, Xu Hui laughed and said: “I thought we were close, and the Lin Qianhu values you, so you went to look for someone else to help you with something, and I didn’t know if you would say it aloud to him, what if we went around and passed it on to the ears of the Lin Qianhu, then it would not be so good?”

Xiao Da Yong frowned and thought for a while before saying: “Then, I’ll go and ask Xiao Wu. If Lin Qianhu is free, I’ll tell him about it. If not, then forget it.”

“Master is right, Lin Qianhu has treated you well, and after we came here, he looked after us. He gave us peach, so we have to return the favor, right?”

My wife, you are right, but I do not have anything, how can I repay you? Right now, Camp has nothing else to do, other than being on duty, I don’t know what else to do. “
