Chapter 3772 A surprise for him
But whenever Luo Fengtang wants to travel far away, he will give this waist card to Yang Ruoqing.
He was worried that something unexpected might happen while he was not at home, such as bandits entering the village, robbers and bandits, or even some unexpected things.
With this sign, she can move reinforcements without being left alone.
Yang Ruoqing didn’t want it, but she couldn’t bear his persistence and had to accept it.
This time, it is much more convenient to have this sign.
"The Fengyun Hall in front is where our general will stay. The subordinates can only be sent here. The young master invites himself." The guard said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, and the guard turned around and left.
She stopped and looked around. This courtyard is very big and the scenery inside is not bad. Tang Yazi lives in Fengyun Hall, so where does the Ninth Princess live?
But after looking around here, I didn’t see any other small courtyards. Could it be possible that I also live in Fengyun Hall?
Probably not, this is against the rules and etiquette.
"Madam?"
A somewhat familiar voice came from the side.
Yang Ruoqing turned around and saw Vice General Zhou next to Tang Yazi heading this way.
"General Zhou."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and responded to him.
Vice General Zhou just guessed by looking at her profile. Now that he saw the whole picture and heard the voice, he was sure it was her. Vice General Zhou was suddenly a little excited.
"Madam, when did you arrive? Does the general know about your arrival?" Vice General Zhou asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I just arrived. I came here without telling him. It's getting colder. I'll send him some new autumn clothes."
She pointed to the bulging bundle slung over her shoulder.
Vice General Zhou glanced at it and said with a smile: "Madam is really considerate to our general, and I admire you."
"Have you had a hard time traveling all the way, madam? Will you help you get your things?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head: "A few clothes, not heavy. What, you will Where is the army? Is he in the courtyard? "
Vice General Zhou glanced at the courtyard and said, "The general went to Master Wu's house an hour ago and will probably be back in about half an hour."
"Madam, do you need me to invite the general back now?"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head again: "No, let him be busy with government affairs first. You can take me to his room to have a rest first."
Vice General Zhou bowed, "I obey, Madam, please come this way!"
Enter the courtyard, which is an elegant small courtyard. The spacious hall in the front is used for offices. Vice General Zhou led Yang Ruoqing into a wing room on the east side.
"Madam, here we are, this room is where our general will rest during this period." Vice General Zhou said.
Yang Ruoqing looked around the room. Everything was simple, clean and tidy.
"This house is well-kept, very comfortable and simple." Yang Ruoqing complimented casually.
Vice General Zhou smiled sheepishly and said, "Madam, you are so complimentary, I am so ashamed of myself!"
Yang Ruoqing turned around and looked at Vice General Zhou in surprise: "Is it General Zhou who took care of it? I thought it was the soldiers or maids who took care of it..."
Vice General Zhou said: "Because of this mission, The task was special, and the general did not bring any personal guards. The general said he would take care of it himself, but our general is busy with big things, so how could we let him be distracted by such small chores, so his subordinates made do with it first. "< br>
Yang Ruoqing nodded and wanted to ask something more. Deputy Zhou lifted the small bucket covered with cloth that he had been carrying a little higher. "Madam, please rest first. I just bought some fresh ingredients from outside,"
“The general’s appetite has not been very good these days, and my subordinates want to go to the kitchen to cook some food for the general...”
“What’s wrong with his poor appetite? He’s sick. Are you done?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly, with nervousness and concern in her eyes.
Vice General Zhou was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Madam, don't worry, the general is not sick. Something happened in the past few days. The general has to be busy dealing with it. Maybe he is tired."
Yang Ruoqing felt a little more at ease, and then asked: "You are staying here. Are there no maids or cooks in this courtyard?"
Vice General Zhou said: "Master Wu originally arranged it, but the general found an excuse to send it back."
"The princess wants to send two cooks and maids to the general for him. , all from Beijing They were brought over, but our general still declined the princess’s kindness and randomly ordered two soldiers who could cook meals to come to the yard to make do with it.”
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing was a little stunned. .
In the past, when they marched and fought, women were not allowed in the army, and there were special kitchen troops to cook.
Now that we are in Tianhai County, why are we still maintaining the same habits as in the army?
"Where does the princess live?" Yang Ruoqing asked Deputy General Zhou again.
Vice General Zhou said: "I live in the innermost part of this courtyard, quite a ways away from here."
Yang Ruoqing nodded. Seeing that Vice General Zhou was about to leave, she put down her hand. Bao Fu rolled and said, "Leave the ingredients to me. I'll Now, I will take care of his food and daily life during the next period. General Zhou, please free up your hands to assist him in official affairs!"
Vice General Zhou led Yang Ruoqing to a room in the west! There was a kitchen, and there were indeed two soldiers working there.
Vice General Zhou dismissed the two soldiers, and then introduced Yang Ruoqing to all the spices, rice and grains in the kitchen.
"The battlefield belongs to you men, but the kitchen is our women's battlefield," Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
"General Zhou, go about your business. Just leave this place to me. However, please help me keep a secret. Don't tell your general that I'm here. I want to give him a surprise."< br>
......
After Vice General Zhou left, Yang Ruoqing quickly lit a fire to cook because Tang Yazi would be back in half an hour.
After washing the rice and putting it into the pot, Yang Ruoqing uncovered the cloth on the bucket of ingredients that Vice General Zhou had put aside.
On top is a stripped chicken. Under the chicken is a handful of green vegetables. Next to the green vegetables are two round mashed potatoes and a few round lantern peppers.
Further down, there is a piece of pork belly, which is 30% fat and 70% lean.
After thinking about it for a while, the menu took shape in Yang Ruoqing's mind.
So she quickly put on her apron, rolled up her sleeves, and started to move her hands.
Chop all the chicken into chicken pieces, cut the potatoes into hob shapes, and cook the chicken with potatoes later.
Chop the pork belly, adjust the sauce, and hollow out the inside of the lantern pepper.
Stuff the pork belly stuffing and re-stuff the peppers, then fry them in a pan to make tiger skin stuffed peppers. This dish is Tangyazi’s favorite side dish.
There is also a handful of green vegetables. I will make a vegetable and egg drop soup with two eggs later.
Oh, by the way, I saw peanuts over there earlier. I will make caramel peanuts later.
When the last bowl of caramelized peanuts was being fried in the oil pan, footsteps came from the yard outside.
Yang Ruoqing quickly grabbed the spatula and went to the small window of the kitchen. At a glance, she saw Deputy General Zhou, Deputy General Xie, and two other soldiers surrounding Luo Fengtang into the yard.
