Chapter 71: Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot
"It's obviously a county..." Marquis Ning'an's wife was about to argue when she was covered by Marquis Ning'an's hand.
"You go back and prepare for the wedding. The palace will prepare a generous gift. Remember, let Nie Linglong get pregnant with the Marquis's child as soon as possible." Prince Huainan turned to Marquis Ning'an and said.
The wife of Ning'an Marquis's face darkened. What did he mean by asking the Marquis to let Nie Linglong get pregnant with the Marquis's child as soon as possible? Was he asking the father-in-law to cheat on his wife and the son to take the blame? Such a sinister trick could be thought of. The wife of Ning'an Marquis's face was so gloomy that she wanted to rush up and tear the father and daughter of the King of Huainan into pieces.
Only the Ning'an Marquis seemed to be in a better mood. The Ning'an Marquis's mansion had long been desolate and dilapidated, and there were no profitable businesses in the mansion, and life had been stretched to the limit. It was not a loss for the prince to give a generous gift. At worst, he could try harder and see if he could have another boy or girl. The prince's meaning just now was very clear. He wanted Nie Linglong to get pregnant with the Marquis's child as soon as possible. Isn't this just letting him do something? Although it was not glorious, maybe Nie Linglong's tender field could really bear fruit. Thinking of this, Ning'an Marquis glanced at Nie Linglong. Seeing that she had red lips, white teeth, and delicate skin, he wished that his son would marry her today so that he could have a taste of her.
The Prince of Anning was filled with resentment. He saw with his own eyes that the princess chopped off his penis after she woke up. The woman was so charming when she was under him, but he didn't expect her to turn her face away in the blink of an eye. He had been thinking about her for so many years in vain. But the King of Huainan did not mention punishing the princess at all, and even found the culprit to take the blame.
The farce in the Marquis' Mansion was handled by the prince who had the final say.
Everyone went back to their homes, and before leaving, they were warned by the prince who had the final say.
Princess Ping'an's Ping'an Garden.
The maids were kneeling on the ground and trembling. Liu'er had been beaten half to death by Princess Ping'an.
Bang, another heavy slap came over.
"You slut, you can't even do such a small thing. You have ruined my reputation. Tell me, who asked you to betray me?" Princess Ping'an roared in frustration.
Liu Er was so scared that she kept kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Princess, please spare me. I did exactly what you ordered. The windows at the back were locked from the outside. General Zhan couldn't escape. I don't know how he got out later. Please spare me, Princess." They never thought that Zhan Xiao actually went out from the back door. Zhan Liu had learned how to open the lock with wire from Shen Zhi, so he easily opened the lock and rescued Zhan Xiao, and then locked it again without leaving any trace. Yuan Sheng was also thrown in by chance.
"You can't even handle such a small matter, and you still ask me to spare my life. Come, strip Liu'er naked and throw her into the beggars' den in the south of the city." Princess Ping'an smiled sinisterly, which terrified the maids.
Soon a servant came and took Liu'er away. Even from a long distance away, Liu'er's heart-wrenching cries for mercy could be heard.
Before Liu'er's voice faded away, Princess Huainan came in with a maid.
"An'er," Princess Ping'an's maiden name was An'er, "quickly drink this bowl of contraceptive soup."
"Mother, you know I hate drinking this bitter soup since I was a child," Princess Ping'an said coquettishly.
Princess Huainan touched the princess' head lovingly and said, "Don't be willful this time. This is what your father told you to do. Drink it quickly. After drinking it, eat two candied fruits and it won't be bitter anymore."
Princess Huainan supervised Princess Ping'an to drink the medicine, comforted her with a few words and left.
On this side, Zhan Xiao generously gave Zhan Liu a hundred taels of silver notes after returning home. Zhan Liu was so surprised that he didn't know what to do, so he just opened the window and gave him the hundred taels of silver.
Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Silly boy, you have saved his innocence."
Shen Zhi went to the basement again at night, and this time he brought enough food, all produced in the space, both meat and vegetables. When he went there, the eighteen people were practicing in it, and fortunately the cave was quite large.
Their bodies have almost recovered and they can even eat meat.
Shen Zhi cooked a braised pork elbow today, a big pot full of 20. He also made a pickled fish, secret beef bones, a beef cutlet, a pheasant stewed with mushrooms, a stewed duck soup, a Maoxuewang, and fried sour and spicy potato shreds, homemade tofu, pickled cabbage and potato vermicelli shreds, stir-fried rapeseed, and finally fried peanuts to complete the meal. The staple food was the plump white flour steamed buns that had been steamed long ago.
All the dishes were on the table, and Shen Zhi took out two jars of wine and told everyone to drink two glasses of wine if they were happy, except for General Song. General Song had a chronic illness and was not allowed to drink for the time being. Shen Zhi used the spiritual spring water to make him a pot of fruit tea.
General Song had been drooling when he saw the wine, but when he heard Shen Zhi's words, he immediately became like a deflated ball.
Everyone gathered around the table and feasted, some drank, and some played finger-guessing games.
Shen Zhize started the braising pot in the big pot beside him. The pork, pig head, pig offal and the like had already been cleaned in the space, so they were just thrown into the pot to start the braising.
Gradually, the tempting aroma filled the room, and those who were eating there were drooling and clamoring to try the meat in the pot.
Shen Zhi rolled his eyes secretly. The man was indeed eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.
"No, we're just starting to cook it, and it hasn't absorbed the flavor yet. We can only eat it tomorrow." Shen Zhiyi refused righteously.
"Yes, yes, we will listen to Miss Shen." The big men nodded devoutly and obeyed, but in fact what they were thinking in their hearts was that they would have a secret meal after Shen Zhi left.
After the stew was done, Shen Zhi turned off the fire, covered the pot and let the meat soak in the stew overnight to absorb the flavor. After giving some instructions, he went back to his room.
But as soon as Shen Zhi left, the dozen or so people rushed over and looted all the meat in the pot, eating it without even cutting it, and even gave it a thumbs up after they were done.
When Shen Zhi found out the next day, they all stood in a row with their heads down like children who had done something wrong, as if waiting for Shen Zhi's punishment.
Shen Zhi was not angry, but was just curious about how they could eat. They ate all the food on the table, and there were more than a hundred steamed buns, all of which were eaten up. In the end, they stole the big pot of braised food. Are they pigs?
"I'm not feeling sorry for the pot of meat, I'm just worried that you'll eat too much," Shen Zhi said.
Zhuge Ling was the first to step forward when he heard this: "I can still eat more, ten steamed buns are not enough to fill my teeth."
Shen Zhi was ashamed, you shorty eat ten steamed buns in one meal.
The bald man couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Shen, when I was in the army, I ate two large bowls of rice for every meal, so I was very strong. Everyone nicknamed me the Second Big Bowl."
"I can eat two big bowls too," many people echoed.
Shen Zhi couldn't help but choke. It turned out that she and Zhan Xiao had saved a team of slackers. No, she had to find a chance to get back at Zhan Xiao. In other words, she had a cheating space. Who could afford this?
"It's okay. Count everyone's appetite. I'll cook according to your appetite in the future. No one should be hungry, but our national heroes should not be hungry." When these heroes were rescued, they were starving to the point of being skin and bones. Shen Zhi couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the scene at that time. What he can do now is to let them have enough food and eat well.
Shen Zhi made breakfast for them while it was still early. He made more. The porridge alone was a big pot, and it was thick. He fried a big pot of dumplings and steamed a big steamer of big meat buns. He also left a big basket of dumplings for them to cook and eat when they were hungry at noon.
