General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming Chapter 55

Chapter 55

55 Digging a Hole

Did this woman know what she was doing?!

Even in a dream, she shouldn’t casually pull on a man’s belt!

She thought she was dreaming!

If Su Xiaoxiao was awake, she would definitely retort, “Didn’t you attack first?”

Unfortunately, this body was too weak. Su Xiaoxiao had stayed up most of the night, and her current state was not much different from sleepwalking.

Wei Ting grabbed her chubby hands and gritted his teeth. “Su Daya!”

Su Xiaoxiao stared at him and looked down. “Wow!”

She broke free from Wei Ting’s hand and reached down-

Wei Ting’s face turned pale as he knocked her out with a karate chop!

Su Xiaoxiao slept until dawn. She looked at the sunlight coming in through the window and her mind buzzed.

This feeling was like having a hangover. It was strange.

“I... wasn’t I making pancakes in the kitchen? Why am I sleeping in my own bed?”

She scratched her head, not understanding.

“Ahhh! Don’t s.n.a.t.c.h my pancakes!”

It was Su Ergou’s voice.

Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses. “It’s time to go out! Oh no! I haven’t made snacks!”

She quickly lifted the blanket and got off the bed. Her clothes were neat. Could it be that she was too tired last night and fell asleep after returning to the room?

The three little ones fought with Su Ergou for the pancakes in the kitchen. Although they were small, they had six little demonic claws. There was no way Su Ergou could win.

“Mine, mine! They’re all mine! My sister made them for me! Brother-in-law said so!”

“How old are you to fight with a child!”

Father Su knocked his son on the head and carried the plate to the three children.

Wei Ting sat in the backyard wiping his walking stick with a cold and terrifying aura.

Those who knew would say that he was wiping his walking stick. Those who did not know would think that he was wiping his bow and arrow.

Su Xiaoxiao came to his side and looked down at him.

“Wei Ting.”

“What are you doing?”

Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. “When I saw you, I suddenly remembered a dream I had last night.”

Wei Ting stopped wiping his walking stick and said coldly, “I’m not interested in your dream.”

Su Xiaoxiao walked around him and squatted down. She looked up at him. “But I dreamed of you. You touched me.”

Wei Ting glanced at her coldly. “Is it possible for me to touch you?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I don’t think it’s possible either.”

Not to mention that Wei Ting was not interested in her, even if he was, he would probably not take advantage of her with that personality of his.

It was all because this body’s physique was too poor. When she dozed off, it was as if she was drunk and could not withstand it at all. She really missed her body in her previous life.

Su Xiaoxiao recalled and still felt that something was wrong. “But... it was quite detailed.”

Worried that he wouldn’t understand, she added, “I pulled your pants.”

She glanced at him with her small eyes. “Why do you think a dream can be so lucid...”

Wei Ting interrupted her coldly, “Don’t you know why?!”

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously. “Oh, that’s true. I’ve seen it.”

Wei Ting was dumbfounded.

Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. “Did you touch me...” Her dream came to an end at the wrong time.

Wei Ting was about to explode.

Not only did he stay up all night for no reason, but it also resulted in so many problems. Most importantly, he did not find his token on her or in her room in the end.

Where did this girl hide the token?

....

During breakfast, Su Xiaoxiao realized that Wei Ting’s leg was limping even more.

She looked at Father Su and said solemnly, “Father, I told you that his leg injury hasn’t healed and he can’t get off the ground. Look at how crippled he is.”

Wei Ting glanced at Su Xiaoxiao coldly as he bit the flatbread in his hand.

Father Su looked at his son-in-law’s leg with a confused expression. “No, he was fine when he came back yesterday. Why did his leg become like this after a night? Did you carry a pig in the middle of the night?”

“Achoo!” Su Xiaoxiao turned around and sneezed.

Su Xiaoxiao woke up late and set up her stall later than usual. Old Li sent the siblings off with an ox cart.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to pay for the ride, but Old Li refused to take it.

Recently, Little Su’s family sent many things to their house. Madam Qian’s basket had not been empty since she returned from the fields. There were vegetables planted by her family, as well as pancakes and meat from Little Su’s family.

Although the vegetable fields had not fared well under Su Cheng’s attempts to farm, those vegetables could still be sold at the market. At most, they would not look good and were only a few copper coins cheaper.

What Su Xiaoxiao gave him was not something that could be bought with money.

Recently, the family had been doing well and his daughter-in-law’s health had improved a lot. The midwife said that this child would definitely be a fat boy!

“Next time! You can give it to me next time!”

Old Li stuffed the copper coin back into Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and pulled the ox cart away.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Thank you, Grandpa Li.”

As usual, the two of them went to Luo Dazhuang’s stall to supply goods and collect the jar and money for yesterday’s dishes. Then, they walked toward Jin Ji.

Su Ergou said, “Sister, did you really make the pancakes for me this morning?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes. Do you like them?”

Su Ergou said in high spirits, “I like them! They’re better than the previous snacks! Then what are they called?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Ergou Pancake.”

Su Ergou was stunned and looked at his sister in disbelief. “Is... is it really Ergou Pancake?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile.

Su Ergou was excited. “Then, can we sell Er Gou Pancake?”

“As long as you’re willing, of course.” Su Xiaoxiao stopped and looked at him solemnly. “Also, I won’t sell the formula.”

Su Ergou’s mood was completely cured.

He was only thirteen this year. Speaking of which, he was no more than a half-grown child.

He would be sad about something simple and happy about a trivial return.

He walked down the street, smiling like a little fool.

At Jin Ji, the chefs made three types of snacks according to the formula Manager Sun brought back.

Everyone tried the food one by one.

“Delicious!”

“It’s indeed better than what we did.”

“So we got the oil pastry method wrong. It’s more oily and delicate if we make it according to her formula. It’s just-”

“What is it?” Manager Sun asked.

“Missing something,” said a chef.

Master Qin said nothing. In his opinion, it was not missing just something, but a lot more.

“Is there really a problem with the recipe?” Manager Sun asked nervously. 45 taels of silver was not a small sum. If he bought a fake recipe, the responsibility would be huge!

“The recipe is right,” Master Qin said. With his experience, he could naturally tell that the other party had not tampered with the recipe.

It was the difference in texture caused by the time of fermentation and the uneven heat.

Doing anything required talent. Some people were born with sharp taste buds and could taste things that ordinary people could not.

He was like that, so he was very good at doing this. However, it was obvious that the girl’s talent was not inferior to his.

The chestnut cake and wife cake were not much different from the those that the girl sold. If he made more of them and practiced more, he should be able to make up for it.

What really made him frown was the last snack. The yolk pastry didn’t taste right.

The salted egg yolk pastry was completely different from what the little village girl sold.

“Is this also a matter of heat control?” Manager Sun asked.

Master Qin said, “It’s not the heat control, it’s the ingredients.”

Manager Sun said, “We’re using the freshest and best ingredients in town!”

Jin Ji’s weakness was that it was expensive, but it was definitely not sloppy when it came to ingredients.

“Is it the yolk?” a chef said. “The recipe says salted yolk. We added salt, but the taste is still not right.”

The salted egg yolk in Su Xiaoxiao’s pancake had a rustling taste and was oily and salty. Their egg yolk was tasteless.

The chef pondered for a moment and said, “I ate a kind of salted egg in the capital. The yolk inside has this texture.”

Manager Sun was shocked. “You mean... we have to go to the capital to buy it?”
