SFS Chapter 139 Looking Back
Chapter 139 Looking Back
Ji Xingle laughed and joked;
"What are you afraid of? Sooner or later they will get to know you anyway, and I carried you in, doesn't that prove that you hold a very high position in my heart?"
Cheng Shenshen felt happy and sweet in her heart; "But...but..."
"wave~"
Ji Xingle kissed his charming little mouth again;
"Don't but, just because you don't marry me now doesn't mean you won't marry me in the future, you can't run away anyway.
Go inside and rest for a while. I'll go cook and call you when I'm ready."
Hearing about cooking, Cheng Shenshen immediately struggled, "Put me down, I want to learn from you too."
"Why do you want to learn this?"
Ji Xingle was curious. Although he didn't have a good life in the capital, his family should have been very nice to him. They wouldn't let him cook, right? He didn't understand why he learned this.
Cheng Shenshen said proudly;
"Because when I learn it, I can show you and Le Yu how good my skills are."
"Okay, let's go together. I'll be waiting to eat the food you cook."
"Good~"
---
There are several old people from the capital in the mansion now, Ji Xingle instructed them;
"11 Go tell the Cheng's Cloth Shop in the downtown area to have their boss come over here for dinner later."
"Yes, Madam."
"15. Arrange for someone to clean up the things I bought. I'll do it later."
"Yes, Madam."
After Ji Xingle gave the order, he turned to Cheng Shenshen and said, "Let's go and see how they clean up these things."
"Madam,"
Old Zhang has been very busy these days in Jiangnan. Ji Xingle gave her the plan and the venue, and she was responsible for the rest. She is almost exhausted.
At this moment, he finally saw Ji Xingle, and looked at him aggrievedly, "Do you think it's pitiful that I'm alone?"
Ji Xingle took out 10 taels of silver from his pocket;
"If you're tired, let Xiaolan come over and help you run errands. Newcomers are not stable yet, so you have to work harder.
Take this money and go find some people. We don’t have anyone here, so you can buy some gifts and visit the government office here.
And there is Xia Ge watching over the capital, so don't worry."
After Ji Xingle finished speaking, he looked at Lao Zhang, who was indeed a bit pitiful. She was the one who took most of the responsibilities for the opening of the hot pot restaurant, the hot pot base, the soap, and the cooperation with the three princesses.
Now she is asked to run favors again. She is a great contributor and deserves a reward. What should she be rewarded with? ? ?
Seeing that Lao Zhang kept rolling his eyes after listening to what he said, Ji Xingle pondered for a moment and said, "How about..."
Seeing Lao Zhang's expectant expression, Ji Xingle deliberately paused.
Lao Zhang: [......Be a decent person! ]
Seeing this, Cheng Shenshen covered her mouth and stood behind Ji Xingle, not daring to laugh out loud.
"Give you processing money?"
【Lao Zhang: That’s as it should be.】
"Give you a holiday?"
【Lao Zhang: That’s not too much.】
"Or should I find you some young men?"
Old Zhang's face flushed red, his eyes widened as he pulled Ji Xingle to a corner;
"Madam, I have a husband and children, please stop talking nonsense. I am already old, and you are still teasing me."
Ji Xingle glanced at Lao Zhang, as if he wanted to see through her. Lao Zhang stood up and let Ji Xingle look at her. [I'm not going to kill anyone or set fire to anything. Why should I be afraid of you looking at me?]
"You said you have a husband and children?"
"Um..."
"Then I just mentioned so many rewards, but you don't want them?"
Lao Zhang scratched his head, as if helpless, as if resigned to his fate, "I...I...I didn't mean to keep it a secret at the beginning, it was because I didn't know where they went.
Because we were implicated, the clan members received the news in advance and hid them all, leaving only a few of us women to take the blame. Because we, the distant relatives, were able to keep our lives because we lost the money.
I received their letter some time ago. We are safe now. Except for the money, our former wealth is gone, and my husband and children don't have to hide anymore.
I...I...mean....”
Ji Xingle saw that she had been talking for a long time and thought that she had something to hide. "Do you want to be free again?"
"No no no, no...no."
......
"You mean you want your husband and children to work for me?"
Old Zhang nodded and looked at Ji Xingle with anticipation.
Ji Xingle, seeing how hard she worked to earn money for him, then said, "Mr. Zhang...keep your family in check, and you can take care of the rest."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam. Don't worry, I will definitely tell my family members to take good care of themselves and will never do anything rash."
"Well, go do your thing!"
"Yes Yes Yes......"
---
Ji Xingle took Cheng Shenshen to the kitchen, directed them to slice the fish, and then taught Shens how to cook step by step.
An hour later~
Braised pork, boiled fish, white radish and pork rib soup, stir-fried shellfish, blanched shrimps, and Ji Xingle secretly added some blanched lettuce.
"Deeply, how do you feel?"
It was cold, but Cheng Shenshen was sweating profusely. He wiped his sweat and said, "This cooking looks so fun."
Ji Xingle helped wipe the sweat off his face and said lovingly, "Hahaha! Good, that's fun. You can cook next time."
"Okay, I've memorized the steps. I'll make it for you once I've mastered it."
"Okay, let's go! Have them take the food out, and go see if your sister is here."
"Hmm~"
---
Cheng Dongli was extremely busy. When she heard someone invited her to dinner, she immediately refused. Then she heard her brother was also there, and she immediately realized who it was.
He hurriedly finished the task at hand, came over as fast as he could, and sat down without even having a cup of tea.
Then he saw his brother, with that... woman, oh! Now her partner, walking over with a happy face.
Cheng Dongli immediately stood up and said with a smile;
"Xingle, you are too polite. You actually invited me to your home for dinner. I am really disturbing you."
Cheng Shenshen; "Sister..."
"I won't disturb you. I'm just afraid that I'll disturb your work if I call you here."
Cheng Dongli: "Hehehe! Don't bother me, don't bother me."
......
Ji Xingle saw that everyone was talking in a dull manner, and just as he saw the servants bringing the dishes over, he quickly said;
"Sister Dong, stop chatting and eat first."
"Okay, okay, let's eat..."
Cheng Shenshen found it funny when he saw his sister and Ji Xingle. They were both obviously very capable people, but when they met, they didn't even know what to say to each other.
Ji Xingle: [It’s unfair! It’s not that I don’t know how to say it, but I’m afraid that if I say the wrong thing, it will hinder you from marrying me in the future! ]
Cheng Dongli: [This is my bread and butter, what can I say? What if I say something wrong and she gives all the good things to others?]
Cheng Dongli saw that some of the dishes on the table were unfamiliar to her, so she picked up a piece of pork belly out of curiosity.
"Hmm... your family's cook is really good! This dish is really delicious."
Cheng Shenshen enjoyed Ji Xingle's feeding, and when he heard his sister's praise, he said proudly;
“Sister, this isn’t a dish cooked by a chef, this is a dish cooked by Xingle, is she amazing?
Sister, try the fish fillet, it is also delicious."
When Cheng Dongli heard her younger brother praising others in front of her, she rolled her eyes, thinking that she had raised this younger brother in vain.
But I didn't care, I just picked up the food I had never seen before, fish fillet...
A meal, finished with Cheng Dongli's surprised voice~
