Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Mrs. Liu quickly asked him to stand up and said with a smile, "General Liu, there's really no need to be polite with us. You've come all this way and you're still a guest. We don't send guests away casually."

"Yes, General Liu, my mother is right. You have come here from thousands of miles away, how can you be sent away with just a bowl of noodles? This is not the way to treat guests. You should rest well for the next two days and don't rush on the road. I will bring you some things to take away." Xiao Wan also advised.

Liu Feng was deeply moved and didn't know what to say. He could only stammer and agree, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Tian Qing took him to the main hall to sit and wait for dinner. The Xiao family had a dining room, but the family was used to gathering in the main hall to eat, so the dining room was rarely used.

After asking him to sit down, Tian Qing went to the young master's room. His daughter said that there were guests at home, and asked the young master to come out to meet the guests and have some food with them.

Liu Feng took the opportunity to look around the Xiao family's courtyard wall. He saw that the Xiao family's house was decorated in a warm and comfortable manner. Perhaps because of the cold weather, cushions were sewn on every chair used for dining in the Xiao family's main hall.

There were two armchairs in the main room, also with thick cushions sewn on them, and two square pillow-like objects placed against the backrests.

There was a table in the middle of the armchair, and in the middle was a pottery jar with a big belly. In it was a plant that was wider than a leek. I didn't know what kind of flower it was, but it looked very strange and interesting.

Just by looking at these decorations and the attitudes of the servants, one can imagine that the Xiao family must be living a very fulfilling life.

He remembered that the county lady should have her own mansion, usually in the city, but he didn't know why the county lady Huide still lived in the countryside.

When Aunt Zhang and Xiao Wan brought the food up, Liu Feng's mouth started watering at the sight of the food. Of course, he was drooling in his heart.

What kind of dish is this? It smells spicy and fresh, and the meat in the sauce looks delicious. The same goes for the red meat slices, which are dotted with red peppers and round reddish-brown things, giving off a rich spicy aroma.

Tian Qing brought another small bowl of noodles. Liu Feng saw that the Xiao family's dishes were all served in large plates and bowls, which were obviously for daily use.

He couldn't help but nod in his heart. He was a rough man from the military. He often ate dry biscuits and drank cold water on the march. Even in the army, he ate roughly. He was more suitable for eating in such big bowls and pots.

At this time, Xiao Zhengping came in and bowed to Liu Feng as a scholar. Liu Feng quickly clasped his fists in return.

Are you kidding? He's the general's brother-in-law. How can I accept his gift? After all, the general hasn't married his sister yet, so I can't be so arrogant.

Liu felt uncomfortable staying here, so she went back to her room first, also because she was worried that Liu Feng would not feel comfortable while eating.

Xiao Wan also nodded to Liu Feng, saying that she would pack some things for him to take away and asked her brother to treat him well. Xiao Zhengping agreed like a little adult.

Liu Feng also bowed and saw the mother and daughter off.

It was the first time that Xiao Zhengping was invited by his sister to entertain guests. He was very excited. He felt that since his father was not at home, he was the pillar of the family and he must entertain the guests well.

So he invited Liu Feng to take a seat like a little adult, and he took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and made a gesture of invitation to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng laughed in his heart at Xiao Zhengping's cute appearance, so he stopped being polite and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

He first took a bite of the braised pork and put it into his mouth. He felt that the meat seemed to melt in his mouth. It was soft, sticky and delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.

Liu Feng marveled at the taste of the braised pork. Although he was only a thousand households, he had enough food and clothing. Apart from sending most of his monthly allowance to his family, he would use the rest of the money to eat something delicious and replenish his body during his days off.

But he had never eaten this kind of braised pork before, not even in Beijing, and it tasted so good, and it was actually made by the county lady.

Liu Feng just felt that he was too narrow-minded in the past and didn't know that there are always people better than you.

Xiao Zhengping was a little proud. His sister's cooking skills were of course top-notch. He hadn't eaten it for a long time, so he quickly ate a piece.

But when I saw the plate, I was stunned.

How could this big guy eat so fast? When I paused, half of the braised pork on the plate had been eaten. Xiao Zhengping's chopsticks stopped in the air.

Before Xiao Zhengping could react, Liu Feng's chopsticks had already reached out to the boiled pork slices and pickled fish. This guy was eating so voraciously.

It has been a long time since he last had a meal. Xiao Zhengping held up his chopsticks and stared blankly at the guests who were frantically picking up food. The speed at which they were picking up food was almost leaving afterimages.

There was no need for him to persuade him any further, so Xiao Zhengping silently swallowed the words "You're welcome, eat slowly."

Good guy, you'd better not reach for the braised pork yet, eat some vegetarian dishes to fill your stomach first.
