Chapter 253 Honey-Glazed Wild Boar Ribs

That's just how people are; the more impressive someone is, the more they seem to be concerned with details.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao smiled unconsciously.

Su Xiaoxiao filled the empty glasses on the table one by one, first the Emperor, then Pei Yuan, and then some other ministers.

The cups that Su Xiaoxiao used were actually ones she had previously obtained from Bruce.

The cup looked exquisite, and the emperor held it in his hands and examined it for a long time.

"That's nice. Where did you buy this cup?"

"Your Majesty, I bought this from Bruce, a foreigner. If Your Majesty likes it, I can have Bruce send you another set."

The Emperor nodded in satisfaction, and Magistrate Huang, who was accompanying him, made a gesture towards Su Xiaoxiao.

That means you're really something. You're so good at giving gifts; it's so thoughtful and natural, and you even won the Emperor's favor. You're amazing!

Pei Yuan watched from the side, smiled, and said nothing.

"Su Xiaoxiao, your home renovation is really nice. You're quite skillful. You must have put a lot of thought into it."

"No, Your Majesty, you flatter me!"

"Your jam shop is doing quite well, and you cultivate so much land at home. You're really good at everything and can take care of everything. You're amazing."

"I'm quite curious, how did you manage to do all this?"

"I just did it casually, I didn't expect it to win the Emperor's favor, I would like to thank the Emperor for his praise."

Su Xiaoxiao spoke very politely. She was usually not so proud, no matter what other situations she encountered. This time, however, she was so proud, and her tone carried an unquestionable feeling. Su Xiaoxiao's actions were actually quite proud.

However, Su Xiaoxiao did not intend to keep so many people overnight. Instead, she chatted in the living room until the Emperor began to feel tired and even started to get restless.

The Emperor yawned widely, and then glanced at Magistrate Huang.

Magistrate Huang, always quick to handle situations, immediately gestured, "Su Xiaoxiao, aren't you going to prepare a guest room for the Emperor?"

Su Xiaoxiao was most afraid of this. She felt that if guest rooms were prepared, it would be really troublesome to have so many people living in her house. It would make her house very dirty, which was the last thing Su Xiaoxiao wanted to see.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao was quite unhappy. As the hostess, she hadn't asked the guests to stay, yet these people were acting like they were the guests and wanted to stay overnight in her home. This was quite unpleasant.

"However, His Majesty brought far too many people, and my home is simply not big enough to accommodate so many people."

"It's alright, those people can sleep outside, we don't need to worry about them."

"right……"

As expected of the Emperor, is he really so ruthless towards everyone else? It seems that everyone in the world is serving only the Emperor. In fact, apart from their own rooms, all the other rooms are occupied by the Emperor's people.

There was no other way; the Emperor's orders were the final authority. Su Xiangai thought she still had to arrange a room for the Emperor. The other rooms were all the same, and they were all vacant so that the Emperor could stay there.

Pei Yuan was still staying in Su Xiaoxiao's room, and he felt much more relaxed.

After quickly arranging accommodations, Su Xiaoxiao began preparing a meal for the Emperor.

"I've heard that Miss Su is skilled at hunting, and I'd like to have some wild game."

Since the Emperor has given the order, how could Su Xiaoxiao possibly be negligent?
She hurried up the mountain to hunt for the Emperor. Su Xiaoxiao drew her bow and shot an arrow, then, thinking there might still be wild boars at the edge of the woods, she focused her attention. Just then, she heard something crunching on the leaves.

"That might be a wild boar," Su Xiaoxiao quickly gestured to Pei Yuan, who was standing beside her.

"Squat down."

"After receiving the order, Pei Yuan squatted down. He was actually watching Su Xiaoxiao hunt wild boar here because he wanted to see what Su Xiaoxiao's skills were like."

But Su Xiaoxiao was really amazing. She dressed very neatly, wearing a simple dark red outfit with a belt around her waist.

She wore a hairpin in her hair, which held up all her beautiful hair. The hairpin was really beautiful; it was inlaid with pink diamonds.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp whistling sound pierced the air, followed quickly by the cry of a wild boar coming from the edge of the woods. The cry was indeed terrifying, and the wild boar was truly pitiful; it could have lived a few more days, but instead encountered Su Xiaoxiao, this plague.

Su Xiaoxiao walked up to the wild boar and kicked it hard, but it didn't move.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately drew her short knife and plunged it into the wild boar's neck to bleed it out.

Pei Yuan clapped and cheered for Su Xiaoxiao from behind, "Your skills haven't gotten rusty at all!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Of course, this is the result of daily practice. Otherwise, how could it become so good!"

"You carry one, I'll carry the other, let's go back together."

To Pei Yuan's shock, Su Xiaoxiao actually killed two wild boars this time.

Together they carried the wild boar back home, and Su Xiaoxiao was finally able to offer the emperor some game to try.

After returning home, Su Xiaoxiao quickly boiled water and began preparing to deal with the wild boars.

She said to Pei Yuan, "Could you prepare some rope for me? We'll need it later."

Pei Yuan didn't know what Su Xiaoxiao was planning, so he went to make preparations.

At this moment, Liu Qiaomei was as happy as if it were New Year's Day. She ran to the kitchen to boil water. Su Xiaoxiao first scalded the hair of the two wild boars, then plucked the hair. After scraping off the hair and dirt, she put them on the shelf and started cutting them.

“Go tell the Emperor that we’ll eat wild boar meat together tonight.”

Su Xiaoxiao told the Emperor and the ministers about this.

The cured meat that Su Xiaoxiao had prepared for winter was put to good use, and it was all given to the Emperor and the others.

With so many people, it seems like we're not prepared enough food at home.

An hour later, Su Xiaoxiao chopped the wild boar into large pieces, removing the ribs and lean meat, and the others came to help.

Some ministers couldn't understand why General Pei Yuan, with such a high position, was being bossed around by Su Xiaoxiao. One minute she'd tell him to go inside and get a rope, the next she'd order him over to chop pork with a knife.

Why would General Pei Yuan listen to a rural woman so much? Everyone was puzzled.

Su Xiaoxiao took out her homemade Thirteen Spices and some seasonings, and the wild boar meat she made was incredibly fragrant.

She also specially prepared several dishes, including honey-glazed pork chops and roasted pork chops, to entertain everyone.
