General, your wife has gone to deliver another calf for your horse.

Just as Sanqi was terrified and wanted to explain again, his mouth was covered by Jiang Nuanzhi again.

Then, he watched as Dr. Jiang, whom he had been eagerly awaiting, took a gleaming scalpel from somewhere and sat down in front of him, sharpening it again and again. A sinister smile played on his lips.

When Sanqi remembered that she had said she wanted to eat meat, her eyes rolled back and she fainted from fright.

The old man immediately jumped back a few steps: "Hey, this time you're the one who killed him, it has nothing to do with me!"

Jiang Nuanzhi swallowed hard: "I didn't know he was so easily frightened!"

He touched his nose and immediately grabbed the man and led him outside. The air was better outside, so he could lean against the wall and rest for a while.

Seeing that he was not likely to wake up anytime soon, Jiang Nuanzhi started cooking.

When Sanqi slowly woke up, she opened her eyes and saw Jiang Nuanzhi holding the cold, sharpened kitchen knife she had prepared earlier, chopping ribs with a loud bang.

The force was so great that the entire ground shook.

Sanqi immediately felt a chill run from her tailbone straight to the back of her head.

He belatedly realized that he had been moved to the courtyard.

Dr. Jiang also boiled a pot of water, a very large pot.
He almost burst into tears after taking one look.

For a fleeting moment, he wanted to turn and run.

But seeing the Imperial Advisor chatting and laughing with the children not far away, and then looking at the fierce-looking Physician Jiang over here, he felt that even if he ran, he couldn't escape.

It might only hasten the pace at which they peel off their own skin.

Upon noticing Jiang Nuanzhi turn around, he immediately closed his eyes and continued to play dead.

The sound of the cleaver hitting the cutting board could still be heard.

He glanced over and saw Doctor Jiang chopping scallions and heating oil. Then... she started frying the ribs. Soon, the aroma of meat filled the air.

Damn it, he actually thought the ribs smelled pretty good.

Watching Doctor Jiang bring out plate after plate of food that he had never seen before, Sanqi couldn't help but swallow hard.

He'd been rushing all this time and hadn't had a proper meal. Thinking this, a wave of sadness washed over him. He should have known better than to rush and eat something good. Now, it seemed he was about to become someone else's meal.

For a quarter of an hour, he even empathized with the plate of pork that Dr. Jiang was holding.

That pig must have been extremely heartbroken before it died.
Lost in thought, he saw Doctor Jiang walking towards him with a large knife.
Finally... is it his turn?
"Wait, Dr. Jiang, I have two last words to say."

Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback: "So you were already awake?"

Sanqi cried and wailed with snot and tears streaming down his face, "Waaaaah, Grandmaster! Even if I die, it will be for the sake of the Great Jing Dynasty. From this day forward, I will no longer be a nobody! Ah! Come on, kill me! Whoever backs down is a coward! Hurry up!"

Jiang Nuanzhi: "."

Before Jiang Nuanzhi could even move, Sanqi suddenly knelt down in front of him.

"Wait, sob sob sob, Doctor Jiang, could you please pass on a message to my master?"
Waaaaah. The toilet exploded when he was relieving himself. It wasn't the enemy who did it; it was because I hated him for forcing me to memorize prescriptions that I did it, waaaah.
Now I regret it. I finally know who in the world is the best to me.

Grandmaster, I miss you so much! If I had another chance, I would definitely... Ahhh, Doctor Jiang, please have mercy!

Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi swing the kitchen knife at him, Sanqi was so frightened that he closed his eyes completely. His heart was pounding in his throat.

After waiting for a while, he did not feel any pain. He opened his eyes in surprise and then saw that the ropes binding his hands had been cut by Doctor Jiang.

He just stared blankly at Jiang Nuanzhi and asked, "Huh?"

"Deliciously fried."

Jiang Nuanzhi felt inexplicably relieved after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, she said, "...Cry later, let's eat first."

Then, Jiang Nuanzhi called out to everyone, "Dinner's ready."

By then, she had already set up the grill and the wood underneath was burning. Speaking of which, charcoal is still the best fire for grilling meat.

Charcoal was expensive at the time. However, the raw materials were readily available, as there were plenty of trees on the mountain. Jiang Nuanzhi secretly thought that she could make some charcoal herself later to grill meat.

Let's make do with firewood for today.

She had already cut the meat she had bought into thin, even slices, added scallions and various seasonings, beaten egg whites, and mixed it all together.

At that time, she took a half-spoon of white lard and placed it on the hot iron plate, coating the scalding plate with lard. Once the pan was hot, she laid the meat slices on top.

Actually, beef is best for grilling like this. However, at this time, cattle were mainly used for plowing, and no one would be willing to slaughter them for food. If you really wanted to eat beef, it was ridiculously expensive.

So, as a second-best option, we roasted some pork to eat.

She put some effort into making the dipping sauce. She used minced garlic, wild fruit sauce, chopped green onions, and her own homemade sauce, adding salt and sugar to even out the flavor.

Soon, the meat slices were cooked, sizzling with oil and slightly charred. They were then coated with the prepared sauce, placed on perilla leaves, rolled up, and eaten.

Instantly, the aromas of fruit, sauce, garlic, meat, and the unique fragrance of perilla leaves burst together in her mouth. Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but smile and nod, "It smells so good."

After demonstrating this, she looked at everyone encouragingly and said, "Try it and see how it is."

No one had ever seen her eat like this before, and they marveled at it.

Jiang Nuanzhi not only prepared barbecue today, but she also made sweet and sour pork, shredded pork with garlic sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, and Mapo tofu. In addition, she stir-fried bean sprouts with vinegar, added a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and also made a shredded radish salad. The table was completely filled with food.

"Wow! This tastes amazing, absolutely amazing!"

The old man took a bite, and his eyes immediately lit up as he stared intently at the piece of meat on the plate.

Lu Shizhu's mouth was watering, and he immediately wanted to try it. However, the next second, the old man used his chopsticks to scoop the remaining three or four pieces of meat from the grill into his bowl, coated them with sauce, and stuffed them all into his mouth.

Then he nodded repeatedly.

"Delicious, delicious! I want more!"

Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head and chuckled: "You can grill it yourself; the meat is right behind you."

The old man seemed to have learned on his own; he simply picked up chopsticks and skillfully placed meat on the grill to roast.

Seeing that they had gotten the hang of it, Jiang Nuanzhi went inside to call Li Rong to have dinner together.

Li Rong was unwilling; he had been eating indoors all this time. His legs were weak, so he naturally didn't want to cause trouble.

The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi picked the person up horizontally and carried them out of the house. She bounced them a few times and then carried them out of the house.

Outside.

After hesitating for a long time, Sanqi finally picked up the sweet and sour pork from the table with great care.

Dr. Jiang said he should eat, so the storm must be over, right?

Who cares? He doesn't want to starve to death, even if he dies.

After taking a bite, his eyes lit up. He glanced at the meat on his chopsticks in surprise—it was sweet and sour! One bite was incredibly appetizing!
He couldn't resist eating several pieces immediately.

The children especially loved the sweet and sour pork, and by the time Lü Shizhu realized what was happening, only two or three pieces of the large plate of sweet and sour pork remained.

The meat was still undercooked, so he immediately grabbed a piece of sweet and sour pork and stuffed it into his mouth.

The children already knew that their parents wouldn't give in to them, so they weren't being polite either.

Even Xuan Ting has now mastered the rules of survival in this family. He absolutely cannot be coy; he must eat what he likes first!
"Come on, someone make room for me."

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard Jiang Nuanzhi's voice. They instinctively looked up and saw the short-statured Dr. Jiang holding the large man in her arms, standing conspicuously in front of them. (End of Chapter)
