After washing up, he drank down Grandma’s secret decoction in one gulp. Qin Feng sat on the bed with anticipation, not knowing what surprise his wife would give him tonight.
Inside the room, the candlelight flickered gently with the night breeze, reflecting his mood at this moment.
The sound of light footsteps approached, his wife was coming!
Qin Feng took a deep breath and said to himself, “Don’t be nervous. As an experienced driver who has lived an extra life, I’ve seen it all. Stay calm, stay calm!”
After repeating these reassuring words, he looked at the door.
A graceful figure dressed in white entered the room.
Seeing what his wife was carrying, Qin Feng couldn’t help but widen his eyes and mentally exclaimed, ‘What the hell!’
The development of the situation was beyond the expectations of the experienced driver. Lian Jianli was only carrying food!
No, I have been looking forward to this for a long time, but the result is the suffering of the world.
Qin Feng forced a smile, “My dear, why are you thinking about cooking again?”Lian Jianli put down the food tray, lifted a strand of hair from her ear, and said quietly, “After I learned to cook from my mother, I tried it myself and found it hard to swallow. Later, I got Grandma’s recipe and discussed it with Ningshuang. I thought of making it for you again.”
Qin Feng remembered the last time, and the sweetness in his mouth seemed to be fermenting again.
He wanted to refuse, but he didn’t want to make his wife sad, so he silently accepted the meal.
In the end, he faced it alone.
There were three dishes and a soup on the plate, just like last time. He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of rice first, as it was the only thing he could swallow.
After mixing saliva with the rice and swallowing it, Qin Feng took a deep breath and looked at the three dishes and the soup like a prisoner on his way to the gallows.
He picked up a piece of braised pork, closed his eyes tightly, and popped it into his mouth, expecting the expected sweetness. Surprisingly, it tasted quite good?
“Hmm?” Qin Feng opened his eyes, chewed back and forth, and said in surprise, “It tastes good!”
Upon hearing this, Lian Jianli’s lips curved slightly.
He then tasted the remaining two dishes and the soup, and the taste was still good. Qin Feng quickly finished eating.
In just a few days, his wife’s cooking skills had improved so much, something he had never expected.
“Is it delicious?” Lian Jianli asked with a slight smile.
“It’s delicious.” Qin Feng nodded vigorously.
Lian Jianli smiled contentedly. This moment was even more satisfying and joyful than when she first improved her swordsmanship.
Qin Feng’s heart was filled with emotion. Girls of this era are indeed better. Even if their culinary skills are not refined, they are dedicated to improving them.
Unlike in his era, finding a woman who could cook was like finding a treasure.
Of course, he knew that his wife’s culinary skills had improved so quickly because she must have practiced secretly for a long time.
At the thought of his wife, known as the Sword Goddess, being willing to do these mundane things for him, Qin Feng’s heart almost melted.
He put down his chopsticks and grabbed her delicate hand, and as their eyes met, tenderness and joy flowed between them.
“Wife, the Moonlit Pavilion in the Imperial City will open tomorrow. I need you to help me with something.”
“What do you need me to do?”
“It’s not a big deal. All you have to do is fly from the sky to the roof of the Moonlit Pavilion and wait for a moment.”
“Sure.”
“Wife, it’s getting late. Let’s rest early.” Qin Feng said quietly. Grandmother’s ancestral medicine recipe had taken effect!
“Okay.” Liu Jianli’s rosy cheeks flushed, and with a wave of her right sleeve, the candles in the room were extinguished, and the door closed softly.
That night, the air was filled with the scent of spring.
The next day, the Moonlit Pavilion branch in Imperial City was officially opened.
The restaurant was crowded with people, many of whom had come because of rumors.
The events of the auction had spread among the capital’s elite, and many were interested in tasting the legendary Drunken Immortal Origin Brew.
At noon, a graceful figure dressed in white descended and stood on the top floor of the Moonlit Pavilion.
Among the people waiting in line, there were some discerning individuals who recognized the white figure as the rumored Liu Jianli!
She had a beautiful and charming appearance, the youngest third-ranked Sword God in history, the granddaughter of the Duke of Liu, all of which made her stand out.
“I remember when I heard people say that the dignitaries who propose marriage to the Liu family can be lined up from the downtown area to the outskirts of the city, including royal relatives and aristocrats.”
“I’ve heard the words ‘overwhelming beauty’ and ‘shy flower and shy willow’ before, and I was tired of hearing them for a long time.”
“At that time, I didn’t believe it. After all, very few had seen her in person in the capital.”
“In my opinion, she was at best comparable to those courtesans, only elevated by the halo of Duke Li’s title, hence the exaggeration.”
“But now that I see her in person, she is truly as rumored, stunning beyond mortal standards.”
“Such a woman should be like the bright moon in the sky, admired from afar. How could she fall to the mortal world and become someone’s wife?” A man expressed his indignation.
Someone nearby added, “If she had married into the royal family, it would be understandable. Yet, she was married off to a declining family according to her ancestors’ wishes.”
“It’s truly enviable and unfortunate!” A group of men gnashed their teeth.
“When I find out who her husband is, I’ll secretly spit on him behind his back.”
“I even want to knock him out and castrate him.”
“That’s a good idea.” Many men’s eyes lit up.
In the crowd, Qin Feng heard these words and showed a strange expression. As the owner, he naturally had to take a look on the first day of the restaurant’s opening.
However, he hadn’t expected the crowd’s jealousy to be so strong.
Fortunately, no one knew that he was Liu Jianli’s husband, or else it would have turned into a dangerous situation.
Thinking about this, Qin Feng’s head shrank a bit.
On the rooftop, Liu Jianli gave him a questioning look.
Outside the restaurant, a group of men immediately began to indulge in fanciful thoughts, imagining, “Could it be that the goddess is watching me?”
It was only after Qin Feng nodded in agreement that Liu Jianli, with a slight lift of her toes, disappeared into the sky in her white robe.
The woman in white came and went swiftly. Many felt a bit regretful, cursing themselves for feigning restraint and not stealing a few more glances.
Listening to the discussions around him, Qin Feng smiled with satisfaction.
Soon, news of Liu Jianli’s visit to the Moonlit Pavilion would spread through the streets and alleys of Imperial City, and his restaurant would be packed with people.
Seeing the bustling business in the restaurant, Qin Feng led Ningshuang out of the crowd.
“Have you delivered the news to the Demon Slaying Division and the Liu family?” Qin Feng asked.
Lan Ningshuang nodded, “I’ve made an appointment with them at three o’clock to witness the power of gunpowder in the martial arts field of the Liu Family Divine Marquis Army.”
“Good, let’s go to the martial arts field now.”
On the other side, in front of the imperial palace, a eunuch by the emperor’s side chuckled, “Elder Yuan, you’ve come. Do you agree with what His Majesty said earlier about taking charge of the Ministry of Works?”
Elder Yuan shook his head and replied, “Please inform them inside. I have something to show His Majesty.”
“What Elder Yuan does is always excellent. I will go inside and report. Please wait here for a moment.” The eunuch hurriedly left.
