Lady Gu 10,000 Years

When Yu Wan and his group returned to the village, it was already night. Every household has started cooking. Smoke billowed from the chimneys in the village. The heat of the villagers discussion had passed, so they were already used to seeing the two families together.
Since they were going to smoke bacon today, Auntie Yu stayed at Ah Wan's house all day and made dinner there.
“How is the business?” Aunt Yu asked somewhat nervously. It was the first time her husband had gone to the city to show his face after he was paralyzed. He was worried that something had happened to him.
Uncle Yu smiled and placed the money bag on the table.
Aunt Yu opened it and was shocked. “Why so much?”
Uncle Yu said in high spirits, “Everything sold out. Even the marinade is already sold out!”
Servants of the North Garrison General's Residence set a precedent. After that, many customers who did not have time to buy boiled meat also followed. They bought some boiled marinade and cooked it themselves. The seasoning is not much, so it does not sell much. However, they could not stop people from fighting over it. Even when Uncle Yu was a chef in the Capital, he had never been this satisfied.
“So many ... did everything sell out?” That's half a pig, along with a set of pig's offal!” Aunt Yu asked again, “Did you also sell pork offal?”
In a poor village unsure of their next meal, the offal of a pig is not something to throw away at will. When they are very hungry, they can even eat Guanyin grassroots and clay. But people in the city are different. They don't think too much about pig's innards!
Yu Wan sincerely praised, “Taste good uncle. No weird taste at all. After everyone tried it, they all said that it was better than boiled meat!”
Uncle Yu laughed out loud so he was unable to find his attitude. He did not know if he was happy with his culinary skills or happy with Yu Wan's praise.
Aunt Yu restrained her smile and glared at him. “Stupid!”
Afterwards, Yu Song talked about Chun Zhi and the police who discovered their mistake. Aunt Yu listened trepidly.
“Thank you to the eldest daughter of General Manor, the people in the district office dare not make things difficult for us anymore,” Yu Song said from the bottom of his heart. “His servant is not on the air. They are gentle and polite. It was clear that he was like that himself. He even spoke up for Third Uncle and asked the smelly policeman not to bully us commoners.
“She's a very good person,” exclaims Aunt.
“Not as good as my brother!” Little Bruiser straightened his back.
“Both good.” The youngest daughter imitated it.
Yu Wan was amused. He's just a rustic hick. How could she compare to the daughter of a high and mighty family? The kids are really silly and cute. He pinched the cheeks of the two little boys. “I don't love you for nothing. Come on, see what I brought you?” As he spoke, he took out two teasing paper bags from the basket.
Little Bruiser's eyes widened. “Kue Osmanthus!”
“I want to eat,” says youngest daughter.
Little Bruiser dragged his sister to eat the osmanthus cake happily. Madam Jiang smiled gently at them.
“You don't have to sell boiled meat tomorrow, do you?” said aunty. The next market will open three days later.
Yuwan nodded. “We don't have to sell boiled meat tomorrow, but we have to go to town to buy something.”
Miss Bai's appearance in the market today wasn't just to help them out of trouble. Miss Bai had heard that the boiled meat at the entrance of the city was even more delicious than the boiled meat in the White Jade Restaurant, so she had specifically come to challenge the restaurant. Who would have thought that the other party was someone he knew? After tasting the Yu Wan family's stew food, he firmly changed his mind and directly ordered their stew food.
Aunt Yu was so shocked that she did not know what to do. He had heard of the White Jade Restaurant before. It was the biggest restaurant in town. Ordinary people could not sell their food there. Snowflake salt could not be sold in the market so it was a special case. But boiled meat is not a rare thing. They had cooks, so how could they not make them themselves?
Yu Wan replied, “We were also lucky. Miss Bai's father was busy with his birthday, so the chef couldn't handle it, so he asked us to make him his father's meal boiled.”
Ever since White Jade Restaurant turned into snowflake salt, the flavor of the dish had increased by more than one level. There were so many customers that the chef couldn't wait to split himself in two.
It's a good thing to have a business. It was even better for her depressed husband to calm down again. Aunt Yu disagreed.
“After we finish this business with White Jade Restaurant, we can celebrate New Year well!” Yu Song said with anticipation. Then, he looked at Yu Wan with a flat face. “I don't want to spend it with you!”
Aunt Yu glared at him.
Uncle Yu suddenly fell silent. He thought of his brother from the Northwest Army Camp. Their family is busy with activities, but her brother risks his life at the border.
“Uncle,” Yu Wan called gently.
Aunt Yu sighed. “He missed your father.”
Yu Wan stopped and looked towards Madam Jiang. He looked at Madam Jiang, who was originally beaming with joy, also staring blankly at the horizon.
Mother... must miss Dad too right? Little Bruiser wasn't even born when his father left. Six years had passed in the blink of an eye, and he was already very big.
…
During the day, amidst the wind and snow in the Northwest Army Camp, smoke was nowhere to be seen. Since three meals a day were canceled, the kettle in the kitchen has not warmed up during the day.
Yu Shaoqing was wearing an old armor that had just been repaired the night before. His expression was icy cold as he went to the newly built tent that was built overnight.
Outside the tent, there was a young soldier with a spear in his hand waiting. Seeing Yu Shaoqing walking over, he reached out to stop him. “What are you doing?”
Yu Shaoqing glanced at the wooden box in his hand and said, “This unfinished one was packed by General Gui De. He asked someone to pass on the message to me to pass it on to him. Leave it to him.”
“Wait,” says the soldier. “It is better if you hand over such valuables to General Gui De personally.”
Yu Shaoqing glanced at the tattered cotton inside the box and said expressionlessly, “Oke.” When he speaks, he will come in.
The soldier stopped him again. “Eh? Did I say that you could come in? General Gui De organized the troops last night until late at night. He did not sleep for more than a few hours. He's resting now. Wait for him to wake up.”
“Then I will come back later,” Yu Shaoqing said.
The soldier added, “What if General Gui De wakes up after you leave? You might as well wait here! General Gui De slept well. He might be up soon.”
Yu Shaoqing waited outside the tent with an expressionless face.
The soldier glanced at him and grinned.
Yu Shaoqing waited for four hours in a blizzard. His hands and feet froze until he could feel nothing. Thick snow fell on his body, and his lips slightly broke, causing blood to flow out.
“Interrupt!” A sweet voice came from the tent, followed by a charming woman. The woman pulled her clothes and looked at Yu Shaoqing meaningfully.
Yu Shaoqing did not even blink.
The woman swung her soft waist as she walked past it.
The soldier took hot water and entered the tent. When he came out with a basin filled with used hot water, Yu Shaoqing said expressionlessly, “Can I send General Gui De's stuff?”
The soldier scoffed, “I'm afraid it won't work, officer. The general had just ordered General Gui De to immediately go to his tent to discuss government affairs when he woke up. Why don't you... come back later?”
“Kids? That must be Big Brother Yu!”
“Yan Congming is no match for Big Brother Yu!”
“How many barbarians has Old Yu killed? His stomach has been stabbed several times! Can that coward Yan Congming compare to him?”
“That chili is Old Yu! Yan Congming is nothing!”
Looking at Yu Shaoqing's back that was gradually sinking by the blizzard, the soldier sneered. “You are a person worthy of farting!”
