First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 254: Stomach, Lung and Ginkgo Soup

This soup is not on the menu of ordinary people in Mangcheng.

Because pig lungs and pig stomachs are difficult to clean, using them to make soup is unacceptable to the residents of Mangcheng... After all, if they are not cleaned properly, there will be a bad smell.

But Su Jixiang knew how to clean them, so the tripe and lung soup made by stewing pig tripe and pig lungs with dried ginkgo nuts was snow-white in color and had a rich and delicious flavor. The slightly bitter taste of the ginkgo nuts became extremely light when dissolved in the soup, but it added a unique flavor to the soup. Although everyone said it was good after drinking it, Su Jixiang still wanted to hear Wei Ling's opinion.

There is also the braised large intestine, which also has a strong sauce flavor, without any smell of large intestine at all. It is soft and has a bit of toughness in the mouth, and has an excellent taste.

Su Jixiang steamed some white flour buns and made a portion of cold cabbage and black fungus.

He had heard that Su Jixiang would bring dinner, so Wei Ling did not eat with the other people in the barracks. He just arranged things while waiting for Su Jixiang in his tent.

Su Jixiang arrived shortly after nightfall.

Because he had Wei Ling's badge, Su Jixiang was able to enter and exit the military camp very smoothly.

When Su Jixiang arrived at Wei Ling's camp, Wei Ling had just sent messengers to deliver the documents for selecting talents to the various garrisons under the Black Tiger Army overnight. The farthest camp would arrive before midnight even if they galloped. Therefore, all those who were willing to participate in the selection would reach Mangcheng by noon tomorrow at the latest.

Those who arrive in Mangcheng to participate in the selection must hold the handheld documents brought by the messenger.

This document is their proof of identity and will include basic information about their military status, military service, place of origin, age, and affiliation.

If a camp with many talented people is selected, the camp's chief officer will also receive corresponding rewards.

In this way, Wei Ling would not be afraid that the camp commander would detain people and not allow them to participate in the competition.

Moreover, the selection documents are distributed personally to each garrison soldier by the messenger, and will not be delegated to others. This ensures that everyone can receive such a notice to the greatest extent possible.

You know, just writing these documents would make the hands of the soldiers stationed in Mangcheng who could write sore!

Wei Ling mobilized so many people to write the documents but they were just finished and they were taken away and distributed by messengers.

As soon as the messenger set off, his work for the day came to an end. The next step was to consider the content of the assessment for selecting talents.

Seeing Su Jixiang coming, Wei Ling touched his face, stood up and walked towards Su Jixiang. "Madam, you have worked hard to deliver food so late."

"Hey, I asked Lushui and Guihua to help make bread today, so I can rest assured." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "It's just that Lushui and Guihua are too tired."

"It's OK. My hands are just a little sore." Lu Shui followed behind Su Jixiang and said with a smile, "After all, Guihua and I are martial artists, so this is nothing. But Madam's hands have been washing things for the whole afternoon, and they are a little white. I'm afraid she is exhausted."

After she finished speaking, she looked towards Wei Ling.

Wei Ling frowned slightly, "Let me take a look." He lifted Su Jixiang's hand and looked through it carefully under the light. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual.

Still worried, he wrapped Su Jixiang's hand with his big palm and gently massaged her, "In the future, ask others to do these things, and you just give guidance."

"I heard Lushui exaggerate." Su Jixiang laughed. She had to admit that Wei Ling rubbing her hands felt quite comfortable.

His hands were dry and rough, with some calluses on the palms, but the strength he used was just right, which really relieved a lot of fatigue in his hands.

"Anyway, you don't have to work so hard in the future." Wei Ling said seriously, "You didn't marry me to suffer. It's no big deal even if you don't do anything."

"I understand." Su Jixiang smiled, feeling very relieved. "Tomorrow I will hire a few more maids to wash vegetables."

Wei Ling then relaxed his expression, "That's how it should be."

"Stop kneading it and eat quickly. I'm afraid it will get cold and it will be bad." Su Jixiang pulled his hand out of his big palm, and then took out the things in the food box together with Lushui.

There was charcoal fire in the lower layer of the food box, and asbestos was used to prevent the fire, so even though it was still freezing cold outside, the food didn't feel cold at all.

"If you sell this lunch box, you will definitely make a lot of money." Wei Ling said with a smile.

This food box was also modified by Su Jixiang. He was afraid that the food would be cold when delivered to Wei Ling, so he specially asked someone to customize it. Even on the coldest winter day, this food box can keep the food inside warm when it is delivered to Wei Ling.

Su Jixiang was thoughtful. After all, Wei Ling's stomach had been suffering from problems for a long time and he couldn't stand the cold, let alone eat cold food.

In the past, Zhou Ziqi gave Wei Ling many instructions, but Wei Ling always turned a deaf ear to them. They were at war at that time, and no matter how meticulous Zhou Ziqi was, he could not take care of Wei Ling much. So over the years, Wei Ling would suffer from stomach cold from time to time. Every time it hurt, he would either endure it or ask Zhou Ziqi for some medicine to deal with it.

But now his stomach cold problem occurs less and less frequently.

This is all due to Su Jixiang’s contribution.

Wei Ling understood in his heart.

She would not come over specifically to lecture him, but she would handle the details very well in places where he was not paying attention. When he discovered it, he would suddenly realize, oh, it turns out that she did this for him!

Every time Wei Ling discovered those things, his love for Su Jixiang would increase a little more.

Although he and Su Jixiang had been married for a short time and they had spent even less time together, Wei Ling knew that he could no longer live without Su Jixiang.

"Yes. When I have some free time, I will improve it. I can sell it for money!" Su Jixiang looked at his masterpiece and smiled. "It looks a bit bulky now. It's also heavy to carry! I can make it smaller or change it to a different style in the future."

"You! Do whatever you want. But don't tire yourself out." Wei Ling said with a smile. He took the bowl of soup handed to him by Su Jixiang and took a sip. "It's really delicious!" he praised.

Su Jixiang also added some pepper powder to it, so it tasted a little spicy, not strong, but with the heat of the soup itself, he felt warm all over after taking a sip!

"There are already a lot of pig offal piled up in the kitchen of Caidiexuan. They can still be stored now when it's cold, but they won't be able to be stored when it gets hot. I thought of turning waste into treasure and processing it well. If you think it's a good idea, I'll let Wan Ning add this to the menu!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

Those free pig offal would be a waste.
