The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1210: Food from the Nanyuan Manor

Translator: Lonelytree

After drinking the mungbean soup, the officials were busy until lunch.

Four dishes and one soup, three vegetables, and one meat!

There was a plate of cold fungus, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, a plate of hot and sour vermicelli, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of winter melon rib soup.

These officials, who were used to eating delicacies, had their faces darkened when they saw this dish.

What kind of dishes were these? Other than the red braised pork, even a dog wouldn’t eat anything else!

However, what was even more ridiculous than the food was that they did not eat at the table. Instead, the soldiers gave each person something that looked like a plate but was not a plate. There were a few dents in it, and each person had a rice bowl and a pair of sour chopsticks. Then, more than a hundred people lined up to get food!

Line up to get food?

Were they kidding? Apart from the princes, they were all at least fourth-grade officials. After working here for half a day, they were already exhausted to the point of being half-dead. Now, they were actually asked to queue up to get food, and they were eating so badly?

Anyone would have complaints and doubts about such treatment. They were really complaining about Jiang Zhennan.

Are you looking down on all of us because of your status as the Defender General?

However, when they saw the emperor sitting at the side, who was staring at everyone with a dignified gaze, no matter how much resentment and grievance they had, they had to endure it at this moment. Then, they obediently took their things and queued up to get food.

Yuwen Longyan looked at the officials, who were so tired that they couldn’t even straighten their backs. After seeing the dishes, their faces darkened. Especially when they looked at Jiang Zhennan with resentment in their eyes, as if they wanted to eat him up, he suddenly found it very interesting.

He thought to himself, ‘Hmph, now you’re disgusted. After you’ve eaten these dishes, it’s possible for you to beg Jiang Zhennan to give you more!’

The officials held their rice bowls with tired expressions. Then, they had to work hard to find a suitable place to eat. Some people couldn’t find it, so they simply sat on the lawn in front of the door.

They felt wronged.

Jiang Zhennan had gone too far. He made everyone eat the same biz pot of rice and did not even give them a place to sit down and eat.

It was just that they had no choice but to bow their heads under the eaves. Moreover, they clearly saw that not only were they eating this ” pigs food but Jiang Zhennan, Guo Bing, and the others were also eating this kind of pig’s food. Moreover, they also saw that His Majesty was no exception.

Therefore, they would never seek death and complain that they did not want to eat this pig feed.

Someone was testing the waters. He took a small sip of the soup. After all, he had been tired for a day and wanted some soup to moisten his throat.

In the end, as soon as he drank it, his eyes lit up and he praised,” This soup is too delicious!”

Then, he couldn’t care less about anything else. He took a bowl of soup and gulped it down. Then, he went to the food counter to get another bowl of soup.

This wintermelon rib soup was stored in a large bucket. He could add as much soup as he wanted to drink.

Hearing this official’s words, the others looked at his actions and tried the soup suspiciously. In the end, they immediately drank the soup in their bowls with two gulps.

After drinking the soup, they also went to the bucket to get some soup.

“This soup is fresh and delicious. It’s really delicious!”

Many people couldn’t help but praise after drinking a mouthful.

“How is this soup made? It was clearly just a few slices of winter melon. Oh, there were also a few bones that looked like pig bones. Strange, these bones were cheap goods that butchers could not sell. There was no meat at all. Only those who could not afford meat would spend one or two wens to buy a few bones to cook with the vegetables to enhance the taste of the meat!

“But now, this delicious soup was cooked with just a few bones and a few slices of winter melon. It is simply unbelievable!”

His Majesty, who was watching from the side, looked at everyone drinking the soup to their hearts’ content. A rare mocking expression appeared on his dignified face.

‘Drink, drink, drink until you’re full. Then, you don’t have to eat these dishes any more.’

After drinking the soup, everyone realized that they had already drunk a stomach full of water. They couldn’t eat anymore.

However, they had to continue working in the afternoon.

If they didn’t eat something and didn’t complete the mission in the afternoon, what would they do if they fainted from hunger?

In order not to faint from hunger in the afternoon, some people looked at the food on the plate and could only tentatively put it into their mouths.

Of course, as the only meat among the three vegetables and one meat, braised pork was their first choice.

After they had tasted one piece, they immediately picked up the second piece with their chopsticks. Then, in a few bites, the red braised pork was finished in an instant.

“What meat is this? Why is it so delicious? It’s fatty but not greasy. It melts in your mouth!”

“What’s this black thing? It’s cool and refreshing. Once it’s put in my mouth, it’s refreshing!”

“What is this red and spicy long black strip? It’s spicy and sour. It’s really delicious!”

“And this cabbage. It’s clearly boiled in plain water, but it’s sweet and crispy.

Moreover, I’ve eaten cabbage before. It’s really much more delicious!”

“Wow, and this rice. Why is it so fragrant?”

“Why are these rice and vegetables so delicious?” However, after drinking two bowls of soup, his stomach was already full. He couldn’t eat much at all. “I really regret not eating these dishes first before drinking the soup!’

Although the soup was delicious, it was still just soup. It could not fill their stomachs, but it occupied their stomachs. Now, they could not eat these things even if they wanted to!

“Hehe, fortunately, I don’t like to drink soup. I tasted these dishes before drinking the soup. Otherwise, if I drank the soup first, I would probably be like you. I could only stare at these delicious dishes!”

A small number of officials immediately said excitedly.

“Strange, why are the things in the Nanyuan manor so special?” First, it was the rice fields that were full of ears. Then, there were all kinds of farming tools that they had never seen before. They had never drunk mungbean soup before. The food they made was actually more delicious than the food outside.

Someone immediately pondered, “Perhaps this is the reason why Nanyuan Manor has always been a forbidden area!” Because this farm was special.

Now, everyone was discussing the uniqueness of the Nanyuan Manor.

Yuwen Longyan ate his food expressionlessly, then drank a bowl of soup. After wiping his mouth, he enjoyed the regretful expressions of his officials.

Then, he asked Eunuch Zhang to pass on a message.” Sirs, His Majesty has decreed that we can rest for an hour. After an hour, we can continue working!”

Since it was an imperial edict, no one could resist!
