114 I’ll Give You Silver to Buy Wine

Ji Zhao looked away uncomfortably. “I know you like it even without asking. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have eaten three bowls in a row, right?”

Pfft—

Second Sister-in-law Shen was amused.

“Ahem.” Shen Yao pretended to cough twice, then said to Ji Chen, “Ji Chen, it’s getting late. We should go and practice calligraphy.”

“Okay.” Ji Chen nodded obediently and followed Shen Yao out of the central room.

After breakfast, Shen Dashan went out to look for the village chief to inquire about the craftsmen. Zhao Lanhua and Second Sister-in-law Shen moved the sewing kit to the courtyard and began to make clothes. Ji Chen’s childish voice came from the house in the west.

Ji Zhao, who was standing in the courtyard, smiled silently.

She liked this warm atmosphere.

After arriving at the kitchen, Ji Zhao rolled up her sleeves and began to clean up the little lamb.

In fact, roasting the entire lamb was not difficult. It was just that before roasting the little lamb over the charcoal fire, the preparations had to be done well. In order to facilitate the flavor, the lamb’s abdominal cavity and the inner part of its hind legs had to be scored with a knife.

Because the mutton had its own smell, the ingredients were very important.

Not only must the lamb’s stomach be filled with scallions, ginger slices, peppercorns, lvarious spices, and fennel powder, but all the crushed salt must also be rubbed into the lamb. Otherwise, the roasted lamb would not taste delicious enough;

By the time Ji Zhao had settled everything, two hours had already passed.

Fortunately, the tools Second Manager You had sent over were very complete. However, Ji Zhao seemed to have overestimated her strength. She used all her strength and wanted to insert the iron skewer into the little lamb’s stomach, but she failed several times.

Ji Zhao took a deep breath. When she exerted force again, her face was red, but she still did not succeed—

“Little lamb, oh little lamb, are you unwilling to be roasted and eaten by us?” Ji Zhao, who was a little discouraged, sighed weakly.

Shen Yao, who happened to walk to the kitchen door, could not help but laugh.

“Er… what are you laughing at?”

“This little lamb has long died. If you ask it a question, how can it answer you?” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“I… I didn’t expect it to respond to me… I’m not stupid…” Ji Zhao said in a muffled voice.

Shen Yao smiled and walked to her side. “Do you need my help?”

“Then why don’t you give it a try?” Ji Zhao immediately handed over the large iron skewer in her hand. “Be careful.”

“Mm.”

“You have to be clever. You can’t stab it straight through… You…”

Ji Zhao nagged. In just a few seconds, Shen Yao had already skewered the lamb.

“You…” Ji Zhao silently raised her thumbs. “You’re amazing!”

Shen Yao smiled and did not say anything else. Actually, he had an even more powerful skill—

“When eating roasted whole lamb, you have to pair it with wine.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and said, “Second Shopkeeper You has helped us a lot. Since he’s coming to our house for lunch today, we should treat him more warmly.”

As Ji Zhao spoke, she took out two taels of silver and handed it to Shen Yao.

“What are you doing?” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows in confusion.

“I’m giving you silver to buy wine!” Ji Zhao said with a smile.

“No need.” Shen Yao grabbed her hand and placed the silver into her palm. Then, he stared into her eyes with a gentle smile.
