Chapter 108 Red Bean Buns
Chapter 108 Red Bean Buns
"My Lord, General Liang visited last night. He seemed to be in a hurry and left without saying anything. He just left some items behind."
As Qiaoxiang spoke, she carefully placed the basin full of hot water on the shelf, then turned and walked to Su Yue's side to help her tidy her clothes.
Su Yue nodded slightly to indicate that she was aware of the matter, and then asked, "Have the ice creams that were frozen yesterday been frozen again?" As she spoke, she stood up straight so that Qiaoxiang could more easily tidy her clothes.
Qiaoxiang kept working with her hands and replied with a smile, "Reporting to the Immortal Envoy, those ice creams are almost frozen."
And, just as you instructed yesterday, the kitchen is steaming the red bean buns you've been longing for!
This morning, Dali was waiting at the kitchen door. As soon as the buns came out of the steamer, she couldn't wait to pick them up and taste them. And look, she's already eaten several!
She kept saying that when the celestial messenger went out to distribute meat to the people of the city later, she wanted to go and help.
Qiaoxiang's little hands were truly nimble; in just a short while, she had neatly arranged Su Yue's clothes.
After Su Yue finished washing up and sat down comfortably, Qiao Xiang quickly combed her long, flowing hair.
Her hair was smooth and shiny, carefully braided into several braids by Qiaoxiang, and adorned with pearl flowers, making it look exceptionally exquisite and charming.
Su Yue examined herself in the mirror, quite pleased with her hairstyle, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips. She turned to Qiaoxiang and said softly, "You don't need to come out with me later."
After all, the distribution of meat was a chaotic affair with many people present, and we were afraid that something might go wrong and you might get hurt.
Later I'll add some pork hock with trotters for you; you can keep it at home and stew it properly, and also make some dumplings. We'll celebrate the New Year together in a lively atmosphere tonight.
After saying that, Su Yue stood up, and Qiao Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to drape a snow-white cloak over her shoulders.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward the restaurant, one after the other.
As soon as Su Yue sat down at the dining table, Qiaoyun quickly brought out a steaming hot breakfast.
On the exquisite tray were various breakfast items, but what attracted Su Yue's attention the most was a plate of plump, white red bean buns that exuded an enticing aroma.
This is the food that Su Yue has been longing for for a long time!
Just then, Dali, his mouth stuffed full of buns, followed them into the house in a flurry of activity.
She plopped down next to Su Yue without any hesitation and said indistinctly, "Ah Yue, these buns are so delicious! We need to make more!"
Su Yue smiled and took a small sip of the thick, golden millet porridge, feeling the warm, sweet flavor slide down her throat.
She nodded and replied, "Okay, then let's wait until tomorrow! I'll make a lot then, and I'll store them carefully. That way, I can take them out and eat them whenever I want!"
Dali knew very well that as long as he mentioned to Su Yue that he wanted to stockpile food, Su Yue would definitely not refuse.
After all, Su Yue herself is a complete foodie!
Thinking of this, Dali couldn't help but smile even more brightly, revealing his full set of clean, white teeth and even his gums.
After having breakfast and resting for a while, Su Yue got up and went into the space.
After entering the space, Su Yue used her mental power to steadily control more than twenty super fat pigs, each weighing four or five hundred pounds.
Immediately afterwards, with swift and skillful movements, she chopped off all the pork hocks and trotters from these large, fat pigs.
After completing this task, Su Yue did not stop.
She also slaughtered a fat sheep, five brightly colored roosters, and ten lively rabbits.
Not only that, she also carefully picked a large amount of fresh, juicy vegetables and sweet, delicious fruits.
Once everything was ready, Su Yue walked out of the space, completely satisfied. Tonight, she was determined to treat everyone to a sumptuous feast!
This year is of extraordinary significance for Su Yue!
This is her first New Year since arriving in this strange world, so she has to make sure it's happy and lively no matter what!
Su Yue looked up at the sky and estimated that it was about time.
So she walked briskly into the kitchen and handed Qiaoxia the carefully prepared ingredients: braised pork knuckles and trotters, as well as colorful, fresh, and juicy vegetables and fruits.
Watching Qiaoxia skillfully take the things and start getting busy, Su Yue nodded in satisfaction and turned to deal with other things.
Then, Su Yue quickly walked to the place where the ice cream that had been frozen overnight was kept and put them into her space one by one.
After everything was tidied up, she called Dali and they walked out of the courtyard together.
She had only taken a few steps out of the yard when Su Yue could clearly feel that the wind was blowing much more fiercely than usual.
Not only was it making a whooshing sound, but the wind was also carrying swirling snowflakes.
The pure white snowflakes danced gracefully in the air like fairies, a truly beautiful sight, but Su Yue had no time to appreciate it at the moment.
And so, Su Yue and Dali braved the blizzard and continued their journey.
When Su Yue finally found Liang Rong's location, she couldn't help but feel annoyed: Oh dear, how could I be so stupid! I should have taken a carriage instead of suffering on foot.
At this moment, Liang Rong saw Su Yue coming from afar and hurriedly went forward with a smile to invite them into the house.
He kept rubbing his hands, which were red from the cold, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
However, Su Yue had no interest in chatting with Liang Rong for too long, and she directly stated the purpose of her visit.
"General Liang, how many households are left in the town now?"
“I actually know that. Let me calculate.” Liang Rong calculated in his mind for a while before saying, “Almost all the original inhabitants of the town have left, leaving only some people who do things like robbery and plunder.”
Later, they were all taken to the front lines to fight, and the whole town was emptied out.
Some people came and went a while ago, but now I count that there are only about a hundred households, with a population of about seven or eight hundred.
"That's all there are, which is quite few, but it's not a big deal. Send a few people to inform them, and have a few more follow me. Later, give them a pound of meat per person so they can all go home for the New Year and have some meat to eat."
Su Yue really didn't expect that there were only so many people in the whole town.
I killed so many pigs. I should have killed fewer. The meat from the pigs raised in the space is incomparable to that from outside. Once cooked, it can really make you dizzy with gluttony.
