"Young Master, what are you going to cook?" While Liu Haiming was still chopping the meat, Youzi ran in from the outside.

"Help me get some instant noodles, today I'm going to make wontons for Eunuch Shi." Wu Tie said without raising his head.

Right now, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he had no interest at all. His heart was filled with thoughts of how he would be happy after returning to the Imperial City, but he didn't expect to have to stay here. It would be weird if he could be happy about it.

Youzi quickly went to the side to smooth it out. Lieutenant Wang scratched his head and thought for a long time, not knowing how to help.

"Add water to the pot to heat the fire." Chen Shouxin glanced at him.

"Young master, why are you unhappy? Although he was a military official, his rank was not small either. In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, other than the royal family, there hasn't been anyone who has received such a bounty even at your age. " Wang Yingjun asked curiously after he squatted in front of the stove to burn for a while.

"Well, I don't want to be an official. Didn't I already tell you that I like friends who are officials? I've always wanted to be able to eat and wait for death. Now that the Old Man is tied up here, I can't go back to the Imperial City by myself. " Chen Shouxin said gloomily.

"Young Master, you don't need to listen to what I, Wang, have to say. I just think this place is pretty good." Wang Yingjun said with a smile.

"Although the Imperial City is good, there is still the Imperial City." "No matter what you do, you have to be very careful. You can't afford to offend someone. They are the relatives of the senior officials of the court, and your life isn't as happy as it is here."

"I won't hide it from the young master, I've been having a good time these days. The beef could be made with a great deal of effort, it could be said to be glorified by the adults and the young master. I, Wang, have never enjoyed this kind of glory before. "

"I guess we should make do with it. Those who are willing or not, we have to stay here. I don't know when the peace and quiet will come, and only then will I be able to return with the old man." Chen Shouxin said bitterly.

Wang Yingjun smacked his lips. He found that Lord Chen wasn't the only one who couldn't figure it out. Young Master was also getting more and more difficult to figure it out himself.

Youzi was having a nice time with him. He had also prepared the stuffing. It seemed like Eunuch Shi had also finished washing up, so he directly wrapped it up.

It was a little regretful that there were no more seaweed at the moment. It could not be said that there was no seaweed. It was likely that people had not yet used seaweed as a food ingredient. If he added more seaweed, the soup would be much more delicious.

Since it was already time to eat, Chen Shouxin decided to buy more food for everyone today. Even with soup and water, it was just the right time to eat in this cold weather.

The main dish was wontons, but there were only two types of dishes. One was stewed beef, while the other was cold shredded radish. Eunuch Shi looked at the table and felt a little hesitant.

"Eunuch Shi, time is a bit rushed, let's fool around a bit today. "Tonight, let's eat hotpot." Chen Shouxin said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Young Master's words are too harsh. It's just that our family has never eaten such food before." Eunuch Shi shook his head and pointed at Wonton.

"Eunuch Shi, it's alright if you eat. Shouxin likes to think about food everyday. He called it wonton, and I think I could eat it all together with the soup. However, the taste is still very good. It's still fresh and not too greasy. The stuffing inside is very thin. " Chen Changqing said with a smile on his face.

In the past, he would never praise Chen Shouxin over food. At that time, Chen Shouxin was out of work. How could the dignified young master of the assistant minister's house drill into the kitchen every day?

But now, it was different. Now, he felt that his son didn't have to work for no reason. Instead, he didn't have to put his own heart on the right path. If not for coming to Dingbei City this time, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover his son's potential. In the future, he would have to force this brat a bit more, otherwise, he wouldn't be walking on the right path.

Eunuch Shi scooped up a wonton and put it together with the soup into his mouth. After chewing it twice, his eyes lit up.

It was as Chen Changqing said, delicious, refreshing, and not a bit greasy at all. The rumors in the Imperial City were indeed true. It was said that the young master Chen Family who was the leader of the three evils in the Imperial City liked to have a stomach for food the most.

Eunuch Shi didn't even have time to eat the beef before he finished his bowl of wonton soup. Seeing that he was not satisfied yet, Chen Shouxin went into the kitchen and cooked another bowl for him.

Wonton is not like dumplings. After cooking it, it tastes the best. If he put it on for a while longer, he would lose all of his vigor.

Eunuch Shi had a big appetite for this meal. After eating, he was also a bit full as he was supported by the soldiers back to his room to rest.

"This humble servant thanks sire for his kindness." Seeing that there were no outsiders left, Wang Yingjun kneeled on the ground and said respectfully.

"Get up, I gave you a job, it's a responsibility. The two camps, the city defense and the border defense, must be properly organized. " Chen Changqing waved his hand and said.

"This lowly officer respects the teachings of his lordship." Wang Yingjun said loudly.

"Look, look. I told you I don't want to be an official. Are these red tape so sour? Old man, when do you think the emperor will let us go back? " Chen Shouxin twitched his nose and said.

"If it's short, it'll be a year or so. If it's long, it'll be three to five years. Who can say for sure?" Chen Changqing said with a smile.

"Young Master, you've agreed to let us stew a pot of good wine." Uncle Chen smiled as he interrupted their conversation.

He didn't want the two of them to talk too much about this. In the worst case scenario, the two of them might even have to pick a fight. Even though the young master was cute, if he was angry, the old master would only be so angry that he would jump up and down.

"I wonder if there are any skilled blacksmiths here who can help me make this steamer." Let me give it a try, but the wine here is more expensive than in the Imperial City. " Chen Shouxin nodded.

Even though he was a bit lazy, as long as he agreed to someone else's request, he would definitely go back and do it. Such a personality matched his name.

"Old man, since we're able to stay here for such a long time, I'll find a piece of barren land tomorrow. How about we plant some of our own?" Chen Shouxin asked.

He had been thinking about farming for a long time, and even in his dreams, he wanted to become a small landowner. However, his old man had never agreed to let him meddle in this. He didn't know if it would work over here.

Chen Changqing stared at Chen Shouxin for a while before slowly nodding.

He felt that he could no longer restrict his son. Perhaps he was just messing around, but when he was fooling around, he might not even be able to bring himself any sort of surprise.

Chen Shouxin was overjoyed. This old man had really done it. In the future, if a whole piece of the plant was planted, not only would it be eaten, it could also be used to brew wine.

This man was none other than the sorghum that was commonly seen in later generations. However, this sorghum had been passed down from another country, and people rarely grew it.
