Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Lunch was like Chinese New Year's Eve: braised beef, suckling pork, braised pork elbow, stewed fish, roast goose, roast chicken. Guoguo, seeing duck, thought of spicy duck head and spicy duck wings, so she memorized them. She planned to write down the recipe and send it to the hotel's own guesthouse.

There are also many vegetarian dishes, including delicacies from land and sea! The lotus root was just dug out and was very tender!

Guoguo ordered: Let's have barbecue tonight. Xuyao ​​heard it and said, "With beer! Haha! It's really a great enjoyment in the world." Minmin said: "Yes, I want to have a few drinks too. I haven't had a drink in a long time!"

Old lady Li is very unusual. Her thinking has become very open-minded. She smiled and joked, "I haven't finished this meal yet and I'm already thinking about the next one! Haha!" Guoguo agreed, "That's right, I only have one hobby, that is, I love to eat! Hahaha." Old lady Li also laughed! Don't say, "Grandma, I also love to eat! I used to think about filling my stomach, but now I think about what's delicious!" Xuyao: "It shows that the conditions are better now! I live a happy life. I can choose the life I want. This is a good phenomenon." Zhang Baohua: "Well, it's true, mother, you don't know how much money my shops have made! The money is pouring in! It's time for mother to eat something delicious, otherwise when she gets old, her teeth will be bad, and it will be too late to eat something delicious."

Mrs. Li thought about the difficulties in the past and said, "Well, mother knows a little bit. It's time to eat more good food! If you don't eat now, it will be too late." Zhang Baohua: "Yes."

Li Ru thought about her annual dividends, which were quite a bit, and she couldn't spend them all in her lifetime. She didn't want to start a business. She just wanted to stay at home and do some needlework. She couldn't spend all the money Guoguo and Yeheng gave her. She wasn't greedy for money. Her husband gave her a monthly salary, and apart from the money for her son's bride price, there was nothing left.

She now has enough money to save for her son's betrothal gift, and she feels much better thinking about it.

Looking at her daughter and son, then at the fourth child eating at a table with her husband in the distance, she felt happy and ate a lot more. She was just a little woman, relying on her husband and daughter for her entire life, living a hardworking and frugal life. With her parents around, she didn't have to worry about anything. Just thinking about it made her feel happy and content! [The happiness of a simple and unpretentious woman is contentment.]

The men at the table were even more lively, drinking and playing games! There was a wine cellar in the mansion, full of fine wines stored by Ye Heng.

Guoguo's wine was also delicious. Yeheng drank it himself, a couple of sips every night, and sometimes Guoguo would join in.

The lunch lasted another two hours. Ye Heng helped Old Man Chai back to his room to rest. Old Man Chai said, "I'm not drunk, I just had a few drinks." "Dad, I know you're not drunk. I'm just worried you'll get tired, so I'm holding on a little longer." Old Man Chai laughed. "Yeah." Old Man Chai rested in his own room. Ye Heng opened the window to let in the fresh air, then closed the door behind him. The window was covered with a mesh screen to keep out mosquitoes.

Old Man Chai was happy and closed his eyes to rest.

The children and Wang Xiaomin went to rest in the space, where the temperature was just right and there were no mosquitoes. Xuyao ​​followed them in to look after the two younger children.

Guoguo and Yeheng were sleeping outside.

During lunch break, Ye Heng slept for a while, then got up, dressed, and put on his purple gold mask. Guo Guo glanced at Ye Heng and saw a carriage waiting at the back door.

The carriage arrived at the Dark Night Pavilion. Ye Heng stepped out, slipped into the Dark Night Pavilion, and sat down in his room. Someone had already notified his men to come to the meeting! ...

Ye Heng spent the entire afternoon here, dealing with the affairs of the Dark Night Pavilion! Ye Heng thought that after only being away for half a year, so many things had already accumulated! He thought that the Demon Lord must be quite busy!

Seeing an assassination letter, Ye Heng thought for a moment and called his men, "Li XX, go check and see if the situation is true!" Li XX: "Okay, Pavilion Master. I'll go check it out myself." "Take a few brothers with you, safety first!" "Yes, Pavilion Master!"

Ye Heng looked at the sky and headed home. He put his things in a drawer and closed the door. His men saluted him along the way, and Ye Heng nodded as they passed by before getting in his carriage and returning home.

The mansion was bustling with activity. The sun was setting, and the heat was fading. The children, having finished their classes, were playing in the courtyard, and Xuyao ​​followed them. He saw so many children in the mansion—hundreds! He asked, only to discover they were all orphans adopted by his aunt. Xuyao's affection for his aunt grew even stronger. He wondered how many people his aunt had taken care of. She was so loving! His aunt wasn't good with words, but she had a kind and extraordinary heart! ...

In the kitchen, people wash and chop vegetables, while Guo Guo personally makes the soup base and dipping sauce! The chefs all follow suit. They roast and crush peanuts, add sesame paste, chili sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic.

The chef saw this and thought, "It can't possibly taste bad!" Guoguo bought pepper salt, sesame oil, mustard oil. All the seasonings were there, and Guoguo explained their uses as she cooked. She spent half the afternoon in the kitchen, braising duck heads, duck wings, and duck feet—a huge pot. Everything was spicy! The aroma wafted far, and even the people in the palace could smell it. The guards were drooling. "Haha, our princess really knows how to cook!" another guard said. "Yeah, that's why I'm a guard in the palace. I don't go anywhere else!" "Me too!" Haha! ...

Duke Huo arrived uninvited, bringing Chai Ye with him. As soon as he entered the mansion, he burst into laughter, "It smells delicious!" Chai Ye went to play with his brothers! Duke Huo went to the main hall alone! Hahaha! Chai Zhen looked at him and said, "Please sit down. Old brother, you came here because of the smell!" Duke Huo laughed heartily and said, "That's right, only in your house can you find delicious food." Chai Zhen: "They're all made by the young people, I don't care! We eat whatever is done!" Duke Huo chuckled, "You are so lucky." The two of them talked, and every three words were about food and wine. ...

Housekeeper Ye had several more sheep, pigs, and a cow slaughtered at the farm outside the city, and brought them back with a horse-drawn carriage. They were washed and cut into pieces, with the remaining food kept in the cellar. There was also a large refrigerator, which Guoguo had bought, that would work as long as there was electricity. In a corner of the Chai family's backyard was a wind turbine, barely enough for the family's needs. There was also a refrigerator and a few light bulbs.

Guoguo looked at the sky and left the kitchen. When she entered the space inside the house, Wang Xiaomin and the children were in the yard. "It's time to go out. Do you want to go out for barbecue tonight?" Wang Xiaomin heard it and said, "Yes!" Guoguo smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you out." Guoguo helped the children put on their clothes, and Wang Xiaomin also got dressed. Guoguo also helped to tidy up the

The two of them smiled at each other, haha! "Experience the life of ancient people!" Guoguo: "Oh, that's right."

It flashed, and people didn't even feel anything, and they just walked out. It's like when an elevator stops.

That's actually even milder. Xuyao ​​held her mother's arm while Guoguo put the child in the stroller and pushed it. Those who can walk can walk on their own.

Ye Heng knew the family would be busy tonight, so he came home early to see the children. He held two of them at once. The three little ones were still young, and Babao wanted to be held by Daddy, too. Seeing Daddy holding his younger brother and sister, his eyes dimmed, a fact that Ye Heng noticed. He gave the two little ones to Guoguo and picked up Babao. He whispered, "Babao, you're Daddy's beloved child too. If you want Daddy to hold you, just tell me!" Babao looked at Ye Heng and said, "Well, it's just that your younger siblings are little and can't walk, so Daddy still wants to hold them. I love them too, and I can't leave them behind." "Well, you're a good child. Daddy has time to hold Babao too." Ye Heng kissed Babao, walked to the main hall, and sat on the sofa. He brought water for the children. Guoguo followed behind, carrying food, milk powder, and bottles! Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua followed, along with four beautiful women—Fendie, Honggu, Lanyi, and Zisu—each carrying something for the children. Shuhua helped mix the milk powder, while Guoguo and Ye Heng fed the children.

Chai Tao came to report, and Guo Guo let her in. Chai Tao walked up to Guo Guo and said, "Master, the clothes are ready. Let's see when to try them on!" "Now is fine. Take all the clothes to the side hall!" "Okay, I'll get them right away." Guo Guo told her family that the clothes were ready, and that she would go to the side hall to try them on later. By the way, she said that a family dinner would be held in three days. Ye Heng said, "I'll write the invitations." Guo Guo smiled and said, "It's mainly to find wives for several brothers - it's a blind date dinner. Invite Ma Yuru to attend the dinner!" "Okay, it seems that she has been living in the backyard of our house!" Ye Heng asked someone, and a reply came after a while, "She is still living in the backyard of Chai's house. She usually goes through the back door and rarely comes to the front."

Guoguo thought, a girl... She didn't know much about her, but her family had asked around and she was pretty good. She was also included in the banquet list.

"Write the post in the evening. Now let's have a barbecue and dinner. Let's go to the martial arts training ground, there's a big place there!" Ye Heng: "Okay." Guo Guo ordered: "Fendie, go and notify them that the barbecue will be in the martial arts training ground. Let's get ready!" "Yes, master, I'll go and notify them right away." After saluting, he took a few steps back before turning around and walking out.

Ye Heng called out, "Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad, and Master Li, let's go to the backyard."

Just as everyone sat down, a guard announced, "The Crown Prince has arrived!" Ye Heng chuckled! "Here you go!" Soon, Xiaodong and Yan'er appeared, both with their child! Xia Hua quickly stepped forward to pick up the child. Xia Hua looked at the child, "Three years old, right?" Yan'er: "Yes, mother. How long will you stay this time?" Xia Hua smiled, "About a month or so! This time it's longer, so I'll go to the palace to see you." "Yeah, I haven't seen you in ages. I miss you, mother!" "You're already grown up, and your child is already this big! Isn't that embarrassing?"...

Chen Jun came back, and Ye Heng asked him to wash up first and change his clothes before coming back. Chen Jun: "Yes." Guo Guo looked at him and thought he looked old and dusty! "Master, wash up first and come back." "Yes. Okay."

In the backyard bathhouse, Chen Jun brought some clean clothes to change into, took a quick shower, and came back clean.

Guoguo: "Master, where did you come from?" Chen Jun smiled and said, "Just got back from Hengchang Prefecture. I rushed back as soon as I got the news." "That's not close enough." Chen Jun: "Not really. I rode for a day and a half." Ye Heng: "Sit down and have a drink of water first. Then we can have some barbecue." Minmin asked Old Lady Li to watch the children while she went to grill something. She cut the lamb skewers on the spot. The maids and guards all started to work.

Guoguo also helped grill the skewers. A large fire was set up in the distance, and they roasted whole lambs. There were more than ten lambs in a row, and with so many people, there wouldn't be enough to eat if they didn't roast enough! The chef greased the lambs with various seasonings and grilled each lamb on a rack.

Guoguo said, "There's another way to eat chicken, it's earth-wrapped chicken. I'll teach you how to make it another day."

Minmin: "There are many ways to eat it. The key is to be familiar with it and control the heat." Xuyao ​​also stood up and went to grill skewers. Modern people can do that. Xiaodong: "Uncle, my father said he would go hunting and take all the officials and their families with him." Yeheng: "Okay, let's see when to go and make preparations in advance." "Let's arrange it ten days later. Let my father announce it in the court tomorrow morning." "Okay! Both men and women can participate." Xiaodong: "Well, some women are better at riding and shooting than men." After hearing this, Minmin wanted to participate, but she didn't know how to shoot arrows. Xuyao ​​and the others also discussed whether it was too late to learn archery now? Xuyao ​​whispered, "Let's learn tonight. Let's try it for fun." Minmin, "Yeah."

Huangbao and his younger siblings were grilling food on a grill. Guoguo was worried and wanted to go over and watch. Yeheng said, "You sit down, I'll go." The triplets were too young, and Yeheng was worried too. He asked the children to sit next to their mother while their father grilled food for them. The three little ones said, "Okay." The quadruplets and Huangbao grilled food themselves, while Yeheng stood by and helped, watching over them.

Guoguo feeds the three little ones vegetable skewers, which taste delicious even with condiments on them.

Huanhuan and Hengheng are skilled at grilling things themselves. Chai En and Chai Lu followed suit. While they were eating, Li Dong, his wife, and his family arrived, setting up another table. Someone placed the barbecue on the table. Guoguo: "Uncle, why didn't you come earlier? It's not too late now, we've just started grilling." Li Dong: "I just got home and found out you were having a barbecue. I just came over, hehe." Guoguo: "Okay." The guards poured juice and wine. The women drank juice, the men drank wine.
