Shu Wen's expression suddenly turned a little bad.

Feng Guo asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, I just have a headache. It might be because I was blown by the wind outside just now." Shu Wen said softly.

"Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?"

"No, I just need to rest for a while."

Shu Wen gently rubbed her temples twice, stood up and said to Feng Guo, "I'm sorry, I suddenly feel unwell, so I won't greet you. Please feel free to do as you please."

Feng Guo felt embarrassed for a moment.

He came here just to see Shu Wen, and now Shu Wen was going back to the bedroom, so he naturally had no excuse to stay any longer.

"You should have a good rest. I will come to see you when you are better. I have something to do at home, so I will go back first." Feng Guo was very sensible and said goodbye to Shu Wen.

"Okay, I'll take you out then."

"No, just take a good rest. There's a cold wind outside, don't let it blow on you. I can walk by myself."

As Feng Guo spoke to Shu Wen, he backed away and moved towards the villa gate.

"Goodbye." Shu Wen waved goodbye.

Feng Guo also waved at Shu Wen and quickly walked out the door.

Uncle De, who came out of the kitchen, just happened to see Feng Guo leaving.

Sizzling...

Uncle De smacked his lips. It was obvious that Mr. Shu’s idea did not seem to go as he wished.

"Miss, why did the second young master Feng leave? The master specifically instructed the kitchen." Uncle De walked to the living room and asked Shu Wen.

"Oh, Feng Guo said he had something to do at home and couldn't stay any longer, so he went home first." Shu Wen responded.

Then he gently stroked my forehead and said, "Uncle De, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to my room to rest. Please tell Grandpa that you don't need to call me for lunch. I'll come down to eat later."

There was indeed some sleepiness on Shu Wen's face.

Uncle De could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll tell the master later."

After watching Shu Wen walk up the stairs, Uncle De shook his head and walked into the study.

"Master, the second young master of the Feng family has left."

"Oh?"

The old man said "oh", but soon guessed that it was probably because of his precious granddaughter.

"Just go."

"The young lady said she was a little tired and went back to her room to rest. She also said there was no need to call her for lunch, and she would come down to eat by herself after she had a good rest." Uncle De relayed Shu Wen's words to Grandpa Shu.

"This girl..."

The old man shook his head helplessly.

After leaving the Shu family villa, Feng Guo got straight into his own car.

"Young Master, didn't someone just come out to inform you that you were going to stay for dinner?" the Feng family driver asked in surprise.

"Oh, I have something else to do, so I'll say goodbye to Grandpa Shu. Let's go home." Feng Guo looked towards the Shu family villa.

The car started and Feng Guo soon left the Shu family.

Lu Ye’s secret sauced pig’s trotters were stewed on the fire for more than two hours.

The moment he opened the lid of the pot, a strong aroma of stewed meat filled the kitchen.

Su Mengyao was standing nearby, and her mouth was watering when she smelled the fragrance.

"smell good!"

"It smells good, but you can't eat it yet. You need to let the pig's trotters and elbows soak in the soup for a while longer so that they can absorb the flavor and taste better."

Lu Ye used a spoon to scoop out a pig's trotter and examined it. The originally white trotter had now turned into an attractive red.

The oily soup hanging on the meat is very appetizing.

"It's okay. I haven't made it for a long time, but my skills are still there." Lu Ye was very satisfied with the pot of braised pig's trotters and pork elbows he made today.

"You can't eat it now."

Su Mengyao was a little disappointed. It had been stewed for such a long time and she had been looking forward to eating it.

"Let me tear off a piece of meat for you to taste first?" Lu Ye suggested with a smile.

"Okay!"

......

The stewed pig's trotters were already fully cooked.

Lu Ye picked it up with chopsticks and tore off a large piece of skin without much effort.

He put it in a bowl and blew on it before handing it to Su Mengyao.

"It's good for women to eat pig's trotters. They are full of collagen and can beautify the skin." Lu Ye introduced to Su Mengyao with a smile.

However, Su Mengyao doesn't care at all whether she can achieve beauty treatment or not.

At this moment, she just wanted to taste the pig's trotters that Lu Ye had spent so much effort to stew, and see if they were delicious.

It's quite chewy when you take a bite.

The salty and fragrant taste is just right. After chewing it gently twice, the collagen-filled skin melts away instantly. It is fat but not greasy, and the mouth is full of fragrance.

Su Mengyao took the first bite and immediately fell in love with Lu Yejiang's pig's trotter.

"Hmm~"

"good to eat!"

Su Mengyao said to Lu Ye with surprise.

"You know what, you really have a talent for cooking."

"I remember the first time you made sesame paste and sesame oil, I was stunned."

"I didn't expect you would do this."

Su Mengyao ate the braised pig's trotters made by Lu Ye himself, and recalled the first time she and Lu Ye fried sesame seeds, ground sesame seeds, and made sesame oil in that shabby adobe house.

Looking back now, Su Mengyao can still recall that she couldn't help but be so greedy that without waiting for Lu Ye, she secretly used the prepared sesame paste to wrap the dough and made sesame paste cakes.

The sesame paste pancakes tasted so good at that time.

Su Mengyao felt that even the delicacies she ate later could not compare to the sesame paste cakes she had at that time.

"All right?"

Su Yunjie, smelling the fragrance, ran from the living room into the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Mengyao eating.

So he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quick, give me a piece."

······

New Year's Eve.

According to the customs in Binjiang, meals usually start around 3 pm.

Before eating, you have to set off a string of firecrackers.

It is not only for the blessing of the new year, but also adds to the festive atmosphere.

Every year at this time.

There will be endless sounds of firecrackers outside.

Often, as soon as the firecrackers from one house stop, the firecrackers from another house will continue, like a chain of firecrackers.

On the dining table, the dishes that Zhou Hui had carefully prepared were already laid out.

Su Yao took out a bottle of Moutai that he had specially saved.

"This bottle of wine is what Xiao Lu brought back last time. Today is New Year's Day, so let's drink it."

Lu Ye brought back a lot of good wines, but he only took two bottles of Moutai.

It’s not because it’s hard to buy.

With ticket scalpers around, it's no problem for Lu Ye to get more tickets.

The main reason why he rarely takes Moutai is that Moutai is one of the few export goods of the country and the main commodity for generating foreign exchange for the country.

Moreover, at present, Moutai's production capacity is relatively limited.

Therefore, Yanjing has always advocated that if one less bottle is consumed in China, one more bottle can be sold abroad.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Ye is unwilling to take Moutai.

It’s just because I don’t want Su Yao to be criticized.

Su Yunjie took out the firecrackers that his family had prepared in advance, his face full of excitement: "It's time to set off the firecrackers, do you two want to go together?"

"I'm not going." Su Mengyao refused decisively.

"I'll go with you to set off firecrackers during the New Year and have fun." Lu Ye seemed eager to try.

"Then I'll go too."

When Su Mengyao saw Lu Ye was about to leave, she quickly changed her words.

Su Yunjie curled his lips, feeling a little contempt for his sister's behavior.
