C10 Boiled Pork

As soon as the voice faded, the man disappeared from sight.

Zhuh Xueying's face was still unsatisfied with the man's instructions. After so many years, she had finally met the first person related to Minister Lin in this remote place. Her master actually did not allow her to take revenge at this time!

Her eyes were full of hatred. Her hands in her sleeves could not help but clench tightly, as if this was the only way she could resist the urge to rush out and strangle Lin Qingqian.

"Xueying, don't let the hatred get to your head. Mistress's words are not something you can disobey." Jiang Wuyue said earnestly. Although he did not understand what Mistress's intentions were, he did not understand. But since it was his master's decision, he should do it. What's more, he wanted to see how capable Lin Qingqian was when it came to this extraordinary woman.

Zhuh Xueying who was originally dissatisfied became even more dissatisfied when Jiang Wuyue said this. She looked at him with extreme displeasure and said insincerely, "Got it! Let her go for two days first."

But her eyes were full of ruthlessness. She definitely would not let go of this perfect opportunity for revenge. As for Mistress, she would rather wait until the matter was over and take the initiative to ask for forgiveness.

Seemingly seeing through the little scheme in her heart, Jiang Wuyue walked to her side and patted her shoulder somewhat helplessly. She said in a deep voice, "It's best not to play any tricks. This matter was personally instructed by Mistress. The importance can be imagined."

The meaning of the warning in her words was very obvious. Zhuh Xueying, who had always been by Jiang Wuyue's side, naturally knew what this meant.

"I know." Zhuh Xueying's originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed a little. The disappointment in her heart was no less than what was shown.

Jiang Wuyue also knew that she had been trapped by hatred for so many years and her heart ached for her current situation. But at the same time, she was also interested in Lin Qingqian's suggestion to improve the water and soil.

Lin Qingqian woke up on the second day after an argument.

"Isn't your family's young miss very powerful? Yesterday, she said everything in front of Great Master. Why did she hide in her room until the sun is high and the sun is high?" Zhuh Xueying's mocking voice sounded very harsh in the morning.

Lin Qingqian rubbed her temples, which were slightly painful. She looked out of the window and saw the morning sky. It was clearly the first light of the day. She said that the sun was high in the sky. She had come to find trouble when she heard it.

"Third Master, aren't you lying through your teeth? It's only five o'clock now, but the sun is high in the sky!" Qinn's angry face was reflected in Lin Qingqian's hazy sleep.

"Ha! We did not take you in to let her continue to be a young lady. Did those men stop eating breakfast?" Zhuh Xueying was obviously not that easy to talk to. Her words were full of sarcasm.

When she heard this, Lin Qingqian could not lie down anymore. She had never had the habit of lying in bed. However, it was indeed a little early for a normal white-collar worker.

"It's so disappointing in the morning..." Lin Qingqian's tone was not that polite. Although she did not mind being disturbed by others, she was not a pushover who was easily bullied by others.

"Is she still treating me as a big miss? Quickly get up and cook!" Zhuh Xueying seemed to be even more displeased when she heard Lin Qingqian's voice. She did not have any room to talk properly at all. The moment she opened her mouth, it was full of ear-piercing ridicule.

"Rise now." Lin Qingqian did not have any intention of not working. She did not hesitate at all and got off the bed. She found a piece of clothing that was convenient to work and washed up.

Qinn who had been waiting outside the door heard the noise and quickly came in. Seeing Lin Qingqian washing up, the surprise on her little face became more and more. She quickly went up and snatched the handkerchief from Lin Qingqian's hand, "Miss, why didn't you call this servant?"

Although the feeling of being served was indeed good, as a modern person, Lin Qingqian was clearly not used to it.

Frowning slightly, Lin Qingqian took back the handkerchief in Qinn's hand and said in a flat tone, "I will do these things myself in the future. As for you, you should have a good rest."

Perhaps it was because she noticed the green in Qinn's eyes that her heart ached for this girl. She was born in such an era but she did not have such a good life.

Her attitude was misunderstood by Qinn who was still in a shallow state of mind. Her eyes were immediately covered with a layer of confusion. It was also because she had never cared about her before. She was so scared that this girl thought that she had provoked a grudge. She hurriedly asked, "Is it because Qinn is not satisfied with being a young lady? Could it be that the young lady intends to leave Qinn? Qinn has been following the young lady since she was young..."

Lin Qingqian really did not think so much. She was suddenly dizzy by Qinn's attitude but she still quickly waved her hand to deny it. "How could it be? I just saw that you have dark circles under your eyes, so I reminded you to take care of your sleep."

These words of concern that came out of her mouth were very awkward but Qinn's face was moved and her voice was a little whimper as she said, "No one has ever been so good to this servant before. This servant is really touched... How can the young miss be able to endure such concern for Qinn?"

As Qinn said this, she pretended to kneel but Lin Qingqian quickly supported her, "Alright, from now on, you don't need to be so polite to me. I still have to go cook. Later, remember to call mother over for dinner."

After sending Qinn away in a few sentences, Lin Qingqian then rushed towards the kitchen. Sister Hei and Mrs. Pang seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life. They had already started to prepare breakfast before Lin Qingqian arrived. There were not many people in the stockade and there were quite a number of people eating. A few large pots were placed on the fire.

After Lin Qing smiled and greeted Mrs. Pang and the others, she also began to process the ingredients in front of her.

On the chopping board. There was only a small piece of pork spine on the chopping board. It was a little too little to make stir-frying dishes. Stewing soup was not the best ingredient. Thinking of this, Lin Qingqian smiled. She picked up the kitchen knife and cut the meat into slices. After that, she used salt and wine to marinate the meat.

She then used soy sauce, white sugar, vinegar, tastourine essence, fresh soup, starch, and other ingredients to mix the sauce to the side. Mrs. Pang could not help but touch some of the taste with her hand and exclaimed, "It can still be mixed like this?"

"This is my own creation." Lin Qingqian lightly smiled and blinked her eyes. The movements of her hands sped up a little.

She wrapped the cured meat with oil twice. But it only took the time of the teacup. The fragrance quickly drifted out, and the gluttonous Wang Dali appeared behind her as if he had calculated the time.

Without saying a word, he pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Before he could swallow it, he extended his hand to take it.

Mrs. Liu raised her hand and slapped his restless hand down. She said fiercely, "Just because you are greedy, this meat is about to be eaten up by you before it is served on the table!"
