Lu Rao tidied up her clothes and waited until the cold air was gone before she walked closer.
When Su Qi heard this, she was delighted and said,""Really? I haven't eaten with dad for a long time. I'm cyanotic. Come with me to the kitchen later. I want to cook something delicious for dad.”
Cyan immediately said," Miss, it's better if you don't go to the kitchen. You've never cooked before. This…This…" It was not easy for Miss to be quiet, but she actually wanted to cook. Uh, Cyan did not forget that Miss had gone to the kitchen once before. That time, she almost burned the entire kitchen down. She must still have a lingering fear.
Su Qi didn't know what Cyanosis was thinking. She only cared about what she wanted to make for her father. She was best at medicinal cuisine, and this was taught by her grandmother. Her father had been busy these days. He had to make something delicious and nutritious for him to eat.
Before lunchtime, Ye Chen came to Su Qi's courtyard. When he entered the courtyard, he did not see his daughter. He only saw her walking back and forth. "Cyanosis."
Cyanose suddenly heard a voice and jumped in fright. He turned around and saw the general. He hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
"Where's your Miss? Why don't I see her?”Ye Chen asked with a frown. He wondered if he had run out again or went to the backyard to get those messy medicinal herbs.
Cyanosis hesitated and didn't know what to say. In the end, he stammered,"Miss…Miss, she went to the kitchen.”
The cyanotic voice became softer and softer. He lowered his head and waited for the trial.
Ye Chen could not accept it for a moment. Did he hear wrongly or something? It seemed that Little Seven was in the…kitchen?
"General, why don't you sit down and wait? Miss should be coming out soon.”Cyanose led Ye Chen to sit on a stone bench outside the courtyard.
At this moment, Su Qi walked out. Ye Chen looked at his daughter. Didn't she say that she was going to the kitchen? Why was there nothing different about Little Qi other than a thin layer of sweat on her forehead? Did Little Seven not go to the kitchen? That's right, it's a good thing he didn't go.
When Su Qi saw Ye Chen, she quickly walked over and held his hand. She said,""Dad, I made a lot of delicious food. You have to eat more later.”As he spoke, he called for Cyan, who was standing at the side, to have someone bring the dishes prepared in the kitchen. He also ordered Lu Rao to bring a jug of good wine.
Ye Chen could not believe it and was a little afraid. He did not know if those things could be eaten, but how could he let down his daughter's good intentions? He could only apologize to his stomach in his heart.
"Why did you think of cooking today? Don't tell me you burned down the kitchen again?" Ye Chen teased.
When Su Qi heard this, she knew that she was someone who did not know how to cook. She pouted and said coquettishly,"I heard that food is better than medicine. Seeing that Father is working so hard, I learned to eat herbal dishes. Father, why do you look down on me? I won't cook for ordinary people.”
Ye Chen felt very comfortable and comforted when he heard that. His Little Seven had finally grown up. "You little girl, you probably learned it for your future husband.”Speaking of her husband, Ye Chen suddenly quieted down. The smile on his face also disappeared. He looked at Su Qi with reluctance and helplessness.
When Su Qi saw this, she was very curious. Her father seemed to have something on his mind. Just as she was about to ask about the cyanosis, he brought people to serve the dishes. Su Qi did not say anything else.
Ye Chen sorted out his emotions and looked at the delicious dishes on the table. He could not believe that they were made by Little Seven, who almost burned down the kitchen. He asked,"Did you do this?"
Of course, Su Qi could see his surprise. She revealed a mysterious smile and said,""Of course. I know a lot of things. It's just that Father doesn't know yet. I'll cook for you every day in the future.”As she spoke, she poured a glass of wine for Ye Chen.
Pleasant laughter rang out from the courtyard, causing the passersby to be extremely curious. They wondered what kind of thing could make this general, who was so terrifying on the battlefield and disregarded the emperor in the court, so happy.
These days, Su Qi and Ye Chen's relationship was getting better by the day. Every day, Su Qi would make some delicious desserts and dishes for Ye Chen to eat. Although she had added tonics in them, there was no trace of medicinal taste at all. Instead, there was a faint fragrance that made Ye Chen unable to stop himself.
However, Ye Chen seemed to have something on his mind. Su Qi had heard him sighing alone more than once, but he did not say anything even when she asked. She could only tease him from time to time when she saw that he was unhappy.
However, Su Qi did not know that Ye Chen was extremely worried about her well-behaved and sensible self. When he thought about how Suqi would most likely go to that ruthless place after the New Year, Ye Chen wished he could tear that place down.
Naturally, Su Qi did not know that Ye Chen was worried about her. She had never felt anything new in the ancient times. It was not like the modern New Year, where the whole family would have a meal together and ask for a red packet. But even so, she still thought of the family she had no chance to see again, which made her feel a little sad on this happy day.
However, she didn't expect that something even sadder had already happened.
That day was the last day of the year. General Ye's manor was filled with celebration. Red lanterns and couplets symbolizing good luck were everywhere. The servants were all delighted. Who wouldn't be happy during the new year?
However, Su Qi dragged Ye Chen to the kitchen. What were they doing? Of course, she wanted him to make dumplings with her.
Ye Chen was busy all year round. When he was at the border, he couldn't even go home for the New Year. This time, he finally had a good rest, so he naturally wanted to accompany his daughter. He didn't expect Little Qi to bring him here. He was at a loss for a moment.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. The arrival of the general and the young mistress surprised them. They bowed to them one after another. Su Qi waved her hand and told them to go back to their own work while she pulled Ye Chen to a corner.
There was some flour, some uncut pork, and vegetables. Ye Chen looked at Su Qi and said suspiciously,""Little Seven is going to…"
"Making dumplings."
Ye Chen was still hoping that it was not what he thought when Su Qi's cheerful voice rang out.
Ye Chen looked at the excited Little Seven and was a little speechless. The corners of his mouth twitched. Making dumplings? By himself? You must be joking.
Su Qi looked at Ye Chen, who had a dark expression on his face. She put away her smile and said aggrievedly,""Father…"
Ye Chen took a deep breath and said,""Teach me."
Su Qi immediately broke into a smile. There was no trace of grievance on her face. She quickly placed the pork in front of Ye Chen and taught him how to mince the meat.
Chopping meat was simple. They were used to using swords to kill people, so they were just as awe-inspiring when they picked up a kitchen knife. Then, the sound of cutting meat could be heard, causing the servants in the kitchen to steal a few glances from time to time and even discuss in low voices.
As expected of a famous general. His speed and strength were not something that ordinary people could compare to.
In a short while, the large piece of pork was chopped into minced meat. For a moment, Ye Chen's confidence soared. It seemed that making dumplings was only so-so.
Su Qi looked at Ye Chen's bright smile and felt like teasing him. She said to Ye Chen,""Dad, you're so amazing. You finished it so quickly.”
Ye Chen listened to Su Qi's praise and felt proud. He was so confident that he almost said," Who am I? I'm an expert at making dumplings.
Su Qi took the opportunity to say,"Father, help me mix the noodles. I'll go and make a trap."”
"Alright, no problem." Ye Chen immediately went to Su Qi's seat. He thought that it was just kneading dough. He wasn't even afraid of chopping meat, so why would he be afraid of the white flour? It would be a piece of cake.
Su Qi looked at Ye Chen's confident face and secretly laughed. She picked up the meat that Ye Chen had chopped up to make the filling.
When she came back, the situation in front of her made her laugh.
Ye Chen's eyes were wide open as he looked at the hand that was moving through the sticky flour paste. His dark hands were in stark contrast to the white flour. His face was black and white. Coupled with his serious expression, it made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
The servants in the kitchen held back their laughter, not daring to make a sound. All of them were holding it in until their ears were red, and some of them even let out sounds of their cultivation breaking from time to time.
At this time, Ye Chen was focused on fighting with this unknown thing in front of him. Naturally, he did not realize that he had become the laughing stock in everyone's eyes.
Su Qi could not stand it anymore. If this continued, there would not be any dumplings to eat until tomorrow morning, so she went over to help. With Su Qi's help, there was no problem kneading the dough. Ye Chen's face turned hot, but unfortunately, he was too tanned. No one could see the blush on his face.
For Ye Chen, such an experience was something he would never experience in his entire life. He was busy chopping meat, kneading dough, and making dumplings. The dumplings he made were of all kinds of strange shapes. It was normal for them to look like steamed buns.
At this moment, Ye Chen no longer looked like a general. He looked more like a loving father, an ordinary man.
The atmosphere in the kitchen was unusually good. There were many servants outside who heard about it and intentionally or unintentionally passed by the kitchen to see this rare scene. Ye Chen didn't blame them. He was also very happy, wasn't he?
However, this kind of family happiness was something that the heavens were jealous of and could not tolerate. It was as if the heavens were deliberately destroying everything in front of them.
Just as Su Qi and Ye Chen were busy, Ah Fu hurriedly ran in and said,""Eunuch Jin has sent an edict."
Ye Chen was stunned. His smile faded and his face was full of seriousness. At that moment, he returned to his identity as a general and said,"Take good care of Eunuch Jin. I'll go over after changing my clothes. Little Seven, you should go back and change your clothes.”Then, he left the kitchen.
Su Qi could feel the sadness on Ye Chen's body. That's right, it was sadness. She was puzzled but did not say anything. She just obediently went back to her room to change her clothes.
Su Qi hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed to the main hall. She saw her father sitting and chatting with Eunuch Jin, whom she had met once before. Su Qi bowed and called out softly,"Greetings, Eunuch Jin."”
Eunuch Jin quickly stood up and said,"This old servant doesn't dare to accept it. Since Young Lady has come, then this lowly one will read out the imperial edict.”
Ye Chen took a deep look at Su Qi and did not say anything. He stood up and walked to the center to kneel down to receive the decree. Su Qi quickly knelt down as well.
