First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 315 The Future of Mangcheng

"Your wife came several times and wanted to see you, but I didn't allow you because of your unclear attitude. Now that you have figured it out, go see your wife as soon as possible." Wei Ling said slowly, "Besides, your wife has been pregnant for several months, and you are going to be a father again!"

Having said this, a somewhat relieved smile appeared on Wei Ling's face.

Xiong Shilin seemed to be shocked by Wei Ling's words.

Then he jumped three feet high with joy, "I'm going to be a father again!?" He and his wife already had children, but the previous ones were all boys, and they were noisy and gave him a headache. He always wanted to raise a girl. A girl is good, quiet and cute, and it would be even better if she is as beautiful as his wife!

Seeing him so excited, Wei Ling couldn't help but smile even more, "Your sons are old enough to go to school, so they can be sent to school. The children of our Black Tiger Army can all go to school for free!" After saying that, he patted Xiong Shilin on the back vigorously. Xiong Shilin smiled embarrassedly, "I understand. Thank you, General."

"Okay, don't thank me anymore. Go pick up your wife and have dinner at my house later. I'll go back and ask my wife to prepare some wine and food for you." Wei Ling said with a smile. "Your wife is in the governor's office now. You can also call Xie Yingfeng and his wife to come along. We can have a good gathering tonight."

"Okay! I understand! Thank you, General, for not pursuing my fault." Xiong Shilin's face was as bright as a 200-pound child. After thanking him, he couldn't wait to lead the horse and quickly mounted it and headed towards the government office.

After watching Xiong Shilin leave, Wei Ling turned around and returned home.

Su Jixiang knew that Wei Ling would be returning from patrolling the camp today, so he returned from the store early.

It happened that today Madam Qu had someone send a black carp. The fish was still alive when it was delivered. The black carp was very big and strong, so Su Jixiang asked Guihua to help clean the black carp and cut the meat on one side into thin slices.

Su Jixiang's knife skills are first-rate. The thin fish slices are like pink tissue paper, and light can penetrate through them!

The meat on the other side is chopped together with a little pork belly to make fish balls.

Su Jixiang first used the fish head and fish bones to make soup. The fish soup in the casserole had turned white. She removed some of the charcoal fire in the clay stove and simmered it over low heat.

As for the remaining fish tail, Su Jixiang planned to make a braised dish after Wei Ling came back. The meat at the tail of the fish needs to move constantly as the fish swims, so even if the fish is very big, the meat at the tail is very tender, making it perfect for braising, and it will not taste dry and old.

Spring has come, the river water is flowing and clear. Many people go to the riverside to catch many fresh shrimps and small fish in baskets and sell them on the street. After Su Jixiang heard about it in the general's mansion, he took Guihua outside to buy some, all of which were fresh.

Although these small fish and shrimps are small in size, they are extremely delicious, but they are too difficult to clean.

Su Jixiang, Guihua, Lushui and the other two took a long time to clean the small fish and shrimps, and put them in a dish for later use.

In the spring in Mangcheng, there are more fresh vegetables in the market, most of which are wild vegetables picked from the mountains. After all, the seeds have only been planted in the ground not long ago.

Su Jixiang also bought some shepherd's purse, toon heads and prickly ash shoots.

So Su Jixiang got some minced meat, scooped out a spoonful of yellow sauce in the jar, added the minced meat and eggs and beat them together. After these things were completely mixed, he added some water, and then heated the oil in a pan. When the oil was hot and slightly smoking, he poured the yellow sauce with minced meat and eggs into it. With a sizzling sound, the oil cooked the egg liquid mixed in it. Su Jixiang took this opportunity to use a spatula to stir-fry quickly.

You must be quick when frying this kind of egg sauce. After all, it is a mixture of sauce and eggs. If you are slow, firstly, it will easily get stuck on the bottom of the pan, and secondly, the sauce inside will burst out because of the oil.

The heat of scrambled egg sauce needs to be well controlled. The bottom of the pan must not be burnt, otherwise the egg sauce will have a burnt smell after being fried.

These certainly did not pose any problem for Su Jixiang. In no time, a large bowl of egg sauce was poured into the bowl.

After all this was done, Su Jixiang chopped shepherd's purse and pork together to make wonton filling.

Su Jixiang and Lushui were making wontons together when Wei Ling returned home.

Upon learning that Wei Ling had returned, Su Jixiang naturally went out to greet him.

Before she reached Wei Ling, Wei Ling rushed over, picked up his wife, and spun her around on the spot.

"What happy things have happened to you?" Su Jixiang's hands were still covered with dough from making wontons, so he could only use his elbow to nudge Wei Ling, signaling him to put him down.

She asked with a smile.

As soon as Wei Ling came back today, it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"Madam is truly a deity!" Wei Ling praised Su Jixiang, then picked up his sweat towel to wipe the flour off Su Jixiang's hands, and said with a smile.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Jixiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This man had been out patrolling the camp for several days and nights, and when he came back he said such nonsense.

Wei Ling told Su Jixiang how he subdued Xiong Shilin today, "Madam, you know that you have helped me a lot!"

The Black Tiger Army had appeased many mountain bandits during their attack on the capital with Wei Ling. Not only Xiong Shilin's camp, but also people from several camps were now in the Black Tiger Army. After struggling for these years, these people were obviously led by Xiong Shilin.

Otherwise, how could Xiong Shilin have the confidence to challenge him? Behind him were many bandits who were recruited like him.

Since Xiong Shilin has someone to rely on, Wei Ling cannot fulfill his wish and cannot make concessions, otherwise one concession will bring about the consequence of making concessions all the time. Only by suppressing Xiong Shilin's arrogance once and for all can the internal situation of the Black Tiger Army be stable in the future.

That's why he locked up Xiong Shilin for so long.

Xiong Shilin is also a reckless person. He has not been shut down for such a long time, but today he is impressed by the current situation of Mangcheng.

And Wei Ling also knew very well that the key to conquering Xiong Shilin was the schools proposed and opened by Su Jixiang!

The orphans of the sacrificed soldiers of the Black Tiger Army all have access to education and a bright future ahead of them when they are young. So how can the treatment of these active soldiers be bad?

Everyone has enough food to eat, everyone has something to do, children have books to read, and there is no more war and chaos. Isn’t this the original intention of these people joining the Black Tiger Army?

In Mangcheng, under Su Jixiang's planning and imagination, these things they have long dreamed of are becoming a reality step by step.
