I Have to Write Storybooks When I Have Time
Feng Jiao picked up Cheng Yueyao and said, "It's okay, we'll raise two dogs and a litter of rabbits from now on. You can raise whatever you want."
"Really? Mother, I'm so happy." Cheng Yueyao was so happy she didn't know what to say, and a pair of shallow dimples appeared on her face.
To be honest, Cheng Yueyao is very beautiful, but Zhou Wanwan's looks are also quite striking. She looks very much like Zhou Fusheng, Zhou Fusheng is also quite handsome.
It can be said that Zhou Fusheng was a handsome man in the entire Zhou Family Village and Liu Family Village.
After wandering around the mountain, Zhou Wanwan led them to find a lot of mushrooms and also a lot of wild vegetables in a secluded corner.
Feng Jiao looked at the wild vegetables and said, "Don't tell me these vegetables are edible?"
"Of course they're edible: wild vegetables, sow thistle, wild garlic, dandelion..."
"These are all delicious. My mother is a great cook. You'll see when you try them." Zhou Wanwan hadn't expected there to be so many wild vegetables in this area.
However, this remote and secluded place is really hard for the average person to find, but she encountered a lot of small garlic cloves, which pointed her in the right direction.
Zhou Wanwan returned home, Liu Su'e started preparing food. They killed two chickens and cut up the leftover wild boar meat.
Liu Su'e looked at Zhou Wanwan and muttered to herself, "Do you think the county magistrate's wife can get used to eating this kind of food?"
Zhou Wanwan smiled and comforted her:
"Mom, don't worry, she'll definitely like it. Just cook it the way you usually do; there's no need to change anything."
I'll go to the field and pick some fresh vegetables. The green beans and cucumbers are ripe; I'll pick some to add to my meal.
As he spoke, he picked up the basket and headed to the vegetable garden, where bunches of green beans hung from the trellis.
The cucumbers, topped with tender yellow flowers, are straight and slender. You can pick them casually, take a bite, and they're crisp and sweet.
Cheng Yueyao also took a bite and said, "Sister, can cucumbers be eaten raw? They're so delicious!"
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Of course you can eat them raw. If you like, I'll pick more for you later."
Zhou Wanwan was generous and picked ten cucumbers and half a basket of green beans for her.
Stir-fried monkey leg vegetable, sow thistle with sauce, stir-fried eggs with wild garlic, cold dandelion salad, green beans with garlic oil, smashed cucumber, chicken stew with mushrooms, and braised wild boar.
Looking at the table Manman of dishes, Feng Jiao said, "These dishes look pretty good! Your mother's cooking skills are really good."
Zhou Wanwan gestured for them to sit down, Liu Su'e, Zhou Fusheng, and their three older brothers waved their hands repeatedly, saying, "There's another table inside, we'll eat there. This other table is for them."
The servants had also prepared a few dishes for them, Feng Jiao:
"You don't need to be so formal. Actually, I've already divorced the magistrate, so I'm no longer considered a proper magistrate's wife. I'm just an ordinary person like you."
I'm Zhou Wanwan's godmother now, so we're practically family from now on.
Liu Su'e and Zhou Fusheng then sat down timidly. Actually, you can't blame them, since they had hardly ever left the village and had little experience.
Feng Jiao a sip of the soup and nodded repeatedly, saying, "This pheasant soup is so delicious! And these mushrooms are just too good!"
Zhou Wanwan also drank a big bowl of soup and felt very comfortable. To be honest, Liu Su'e's cooking skills were quite good.
In addition, Zhou Wanwan gave her a lot of advice, such as how much salt and sugar to add, so now her cooking skills can be said to be far superior to those of ordinary people.
While eating, Steward Li nodded and said, "It's really good, even better than our chef's. This braised pork is absolutely delicious."
"I also think these wild vegetables are pretty good; I haven't been able to eat any green vegetables in a long time."
"By the way, miss, where did these green beans and cucumbers come from?"
Feng Jiao also realized that recently their village had been able to get very few vegetables, sometimes only a handful. She didn't expect Zhou Wanwan to have so many vegetables.
These vegetables are a rare treat these days. Zhou Wanwan said with a smile, "They're homegrown, and they taste pretty good, right? I even picked some for you to take back!"
Feng Jiao looked at her and said, "Not bad! You're really amazing, little girl."
After finishing her meal, Feng Jiao took a few pheasants, a few rabbits, as well as green beans and cucumbers back to the city.
The old woman beside Feng Jiao said, "Miss, I've always felt that Wanwan is an unusual child; she's really quite remarkable."
"That's right. I only wanted her to come and be my study companion, but I didn't expect her to find out so much. I wonder what my parents and brother will think when they find out."
The old woman said in a cold voice:
"Don't worry! Those two won't have a good time. Just take care of your young lady and enjoy the show."
Cheng Xiao always believed that he was able to get the position of county magistrate because of his own efforts.
But he didn't realize that with his mindset, he'd offend people everywhere he went; it would be a miracle if he even became an official.
Looking at the sleeping Cheng Yueyao, Feng Jiao said, "After all, he's the child's biological father. As long as he hasn't gone too far, we'll still give him a way out."
As long as Cheng Xiao doesn't act too recklessly, she won't go to such extremes.
The old woman stopped talking.
After eating and drinking her fill, Zhou Wanwan sat on the bed, looking at the huge pile of gold and silver jewelry. This job was definitely worth it.
This Feng Caigu is truly extraordinary; she has been lurking in the Cheng family mansion for so many years.
Cheng Xiao was indeed good to her; this whole box was filled with gold and silver jewelry, and these weren't ordinary pieces. Zhou Wanwan sorted the items in the box into categories.
There are more than twenty pieces of jade ornaments alone, including more than ten jade bracelets, with a full range of types such as bluish-white jade, mutton fat jade, and black jade.
The bracelet is warm and translucent, and feels warm to the touch. It has a spiritual energy flowing inside, and you can tell at a glance that it is a top-quality item that was acquired at a high price.
The remaining hairpins were even more dazzling, each head inlaid with various gemstones, exuding an overwhelming sense of luxury.
There were also various gold hairpins, each one exquisitely crafted and made of solid materials, no less valuable than the ones Feng Jiao usually wore.
Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:
"Cheng Xiao truly loves Feng Caigu; this is such a gossipy and melodramatic story."
I must write storybooks when I have time; maybe I can even make some money that way.
Zhou Qingyan looked at her and said, "You can even write storybooks? Little sister, you have so many skills now, you're practically an all-rounder!"
Zhou Qinghe smiled and said, "Our sister is definitely capable of everything. Whose sister can compare to her?"
Zhou Qingchen nodded and said, "The smartest person in the world."
Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Brother, I'm not that smart. There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Okay, I have to go to the vegetable garden now."
Having been away for so long, she naturally wanted to check on the medicinal herbs she had planted, Zhou Wanwan took the Little Ginseng directly to the field.
