Chapter 869: All Warm Inside
....Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone quickly did as Su Binglan said. Since everyone would be eating together, they needed a long table and many stools. There was strength in numbers, so the maids and servants quickly put the tables together.
In the past, people were grateful even to eat their fill. Now that Su Binglan was here, they looked forward to dinner. When those in the kitchen went to ask for help to set up the tables, everyone gathered to help and could not help but ask about the kitchen.
“What were they cooking in the kitchen? It smells so good.” “Yeah, we could smell several fragrances from the living room.” “The smell made us hungry. Did Her Highness really cook for us?”
“It feels so surreal for us to eat Her Highness’s cooking.”
“We should be the ones serving Her Highness, not the other way around.”
Everyone asked so many questions at once. Mrs. Lin said, “It’s not like you guys don’t know how kind-hearted and generous Her Highness is.”
Not only did Su Binglan not act arrogantly in the kitchen, but she was also approachable. She spoke gently and taught everyone how to make dumplings. The servants and maids did not know how to thank Su Binglan.
Still, they had to admit they loved her. They also wanted to get close to her and interact with her.
“Her Highness’s cooking skills are exceptional. She even taught us to cook. The condiments she used were things we never knew existed. The methods she used are also different from what we usually do.”
“Her Highness even taught us how to control the heat with precision. Her cooking smells lovely. Even we were hungry when we cooked in the kitchen, not to mention you guys.”
“Her Highness wants to celebrate Young Master Jin’an’s return, so we should all eat together tonight.”
Su Binglan treated everyone at the Wei Manor as one big family. The maids and servants were so happy to hear it that they almost cried. “Hurry, let’s arrange the tables and stools. We’ll be eating soon.”
“Wait, where’s Young Master Jin’an?”
“He went to speak to Butler Zhou.”
Luo Jin’an had been talking to Butler Zhou since returning to the manor. The former wanted to understand the manor’s current situation and if anyone needed help.
Luo Jin’an treated his people like family. While he and Butler Zhou spoke in the living room, Luo Jin’an suddenly smelled a rich fragrance. Even Butler Zhou could not help but take a whiff, asking, “What smells so good?”
“Is someone cooking in the kitchen?”
The maids and servants had returned to the manor a few days ago, yet no one had smelled anything so delicious that it whetted one’s appet.i.te.
Luo Jin’an immediately thought of his wife and raised a brow. His gaze softened as he said, “It’s probably time for dinner. Let’s go take a look and see if we can help.”
He knew his wife very well, so he guessed she was the one cooking. If she were indeed cooking, she would make enough food for everyone instead of treating them as lowly servants.
Su Binglan cooked for everyone just as she would for her husband. Luo Jin’an was in a hurry to help his wife for fear she would tire herself out. He rushed toward the kitchen, shocking Butler Zhou.
When Luo Jin’an reached the door, he saw Su Binglan busying herself just as she did back home in Su Teng Village. When Luo Jin’an was home at that time, he would always help out silently.
He would either wash or cut the vegetables or even tend to the fire. Luo Jin’an thought those were simpler days. He felt wa_rm inside when he saw his wife busying herself in the kitchen.
Luo Jin’an thought he would not be able to get used to living in the Wei Manor again. After all, it was no longer as familiar as he once remembered it to be. He feared he would think of his loved ones who had sacrificed themselves. Luo Jin’an did not want those emotions returning, or he would be unable to withstand them. However, he realized his mood was not as heavy as he had imagined. It was as if he could face the current Wei Manor.
He knew it was because his wife was beside him. It was also because she had brought a change to the manor and returned its former vitality. Hence, the people of the manor revealed faint smiles.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan scooped out the dumplings from the pot and placed them on a plate. At that moment, she sensed a pa.s.sionate gaze and raised her head to look ahead.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Luo Jin’an standing at the kitchen door. “Why are you here, dear?”
Luo Jin’an gazed back at her gently and said, “Everyone’s wondering what smells so good. They’re looking forward to dinner. I thought you’d be in the kitchen. Do you need my help with anything?”
Su Binglan smiled. “It’s okay. We’ve already finished cooking all the dishes. You can eat once I bring these dumplings out. Since it’s summer now, I thought it’d be nice to have dinner in the courtyard under some shade,”
Upon hearing her words, Luo Jin’an went over to help her carry the plates. The couple then went to the courtyard, and Luo Jin’an placed the dumplings on the table.
Everyone felt warm inside when they saw how well Luo Jin’an and Su Binglan got along. The couple looked at each other with profound affection in their eyes. Perhaps some might not understand, but others might.
‘Princess Binglan and Young Master Jin’an have an excellent relations.h.i.+p.’
After some final arrangements, Su Binglan said, “Come on, everyone. Let’s sit down and eat.’
The sun had just set, but the lanterns in the courtyard and those hanging on the trees lit up the place. Although everyone had already sat down, they had never eaten such dishes before, so they did not know how to start eating.
Since the food smelled so good, some could not help but gulp.
When Su Binglan sat down, she explained, “The main dishes are dumplings. Those two dishes are spicy chicken and braised pork. 1 also made sour and spicy shredded potatoes, roast duck, and barbecued skewers.
“Those two are new dishes I made, so they don’t exist anywhere else yet. They’re spicy crab, boiled crab with dipping sauce, and spicy pravvns. I’ll teach you all how to eat those.”
Su Binglan took a hairy crab and then taught everyone what to do. She then pried the sh.e.l.l open to reveal the meat. She scooped it out with a small spoon and fed it to Luo Jin’an..
