Yang Xiaojin's culinary skills were at the master level. At first, Ren Xiaosu was wondering what kind of dishes a master could cook and whether they were different from ordinary people.
However, he only understood after tasting them that Yang Xiaojin's cooking skills were extremely precise.
Ren Xiaosu was a little curious. "Why are you so good at cooking? You don't look like someone who specializes in cooking."
"My aunt specifically got a teacher to teach me during assassination training," Yang Xiaojin said.
Ren Xiaosu was shocked. "What does that have to do with assassination?"
"You can pretend to be a chef and lurk around as an assistant chef. Then, you can poison someone at the right time," Yang Xiaojin said. "But I didn't use it even once. My aunt doesn't allow me to use this method to lurk around."
"Why?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.
"I was still young when I learned to cook, so I didn't grow up." Yang Xiaojin casually explained, "Later on, I grew prettier and prettier. My aunt said I couldn't lurk in the kitchen with my looks because I don't look like a chef anymore."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless for a long time. It was as normal for the girl in front of him to praise her beauty as if she was drinking a glass of water.
"Can't you be a little more humble?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Aren't I telling the truth?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"Fine, fine, fine. You're telling the truth." Ren Xiaosu said, "It's Tuesday today, so it's your turn to wash the dishes."
Yang Xiaojin corrected him. "I'll cook, and you'll wash the dishes. From now on, I'll cook the meals at home, and you'll wash the dishes. "
Ren Xiaosu carried the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, while Yang Xiaojin sat at the dining table and did not move. She propped up her chin and looked at Ren Xiaosu's back as he washed the dishes. "I see that the peach trees have already started to bear fruit. I reckon that they'll be ready in a few weeks. However, these two peach trees have been well taken care of and bear a lot of fruit. We definitely won't be able to finish them all. "
"If you can't finish it, you can set up a stall and sell it. With the money, we can buy you a new wok," Ren Xiaosu said.
"Okay, this pot is too small now," Yang Xiaojin said.
"But when I was shopping for groceries today, I realized that the prices of vegetables and grains had increased a lot. I thought it was because the prices in the Northwest were different, but when I asked, I found out that it was because of the floods and droughts between the year before and last. Many places had no harvest," Ren Xiaosu said, "I wonder if Mr. Zhang has taken any measures."
Yang Xiaojin thought about it and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to solve. I heard that in the trade between the Northwest and the Central Plains, the goods provided by the Wang Clan did not include food. I'm afraid that the Wang Clan had already predicted the situation in the Northwest at that time. Of course, there are also a lot of mines in the Northwest that are not open to the Wang Clan. This is the result of the strategies of both sides. "
"I wonder if their reclamation is going well." Ren Xiaosu muttered, "Didn't we see a lot of refugees reclaiming the land on our way here?"
"I don't think it's going easy." Yang Xiaojin analyzed, "Look, there aren't many stable river areas in the Northwest, and the terrain is crisscrossed with ravines. The crops grown in such places won't have good growing conditions, so we'll have to work hard to solve the water problem."
"Yes, the price of reclaiming the land is very high. But even so, we'll have to fight against the natural environment if we want the residents to have enough to eat." Ren Xiaosu sighed.
…
While the two of them were living at home and enjoying the peace, many questions popped up in the minds of the entire Northwest's upper echelons. Where had their Young Marshal gone?
More than half a month had passed since the Zhou Clan's assassination. By right, the Young Marshal should have returned by now, right?
Some of the high-ranking generals had never met Ren Xiaosu before. They had always heard about the Young Marshal's story, but they did not have the chance to meet him in person. This made their hearts itch a little.
Therefore, they wanted to wait for Ren Xiaosu to come back before rushing over to meet him. It was not a big deal anyway, so they just wanted to get to know him first and get to know him better.
In the end, ever since the Zhou Clan's assassination, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. They had completely disappeared, and even the Knight was nowhere to be found.
This made Big Bluff and the others confused. They wondered if the Young Marshal had run away again.
Previously, Zhang Xiaoman had said in front of the reporters, "Let's settle it first in case he runs away."
At that time, many people thought that Zhang Xiaoman was joking, but Big Bluff and the others knew very well that this was the f * cking truth!
Wang Fengyuan even specifically went to look for Zhang Jinglin because of this matter. "Commander, what should we do if Xiaosu doesn't come back? Should we go look for him?"
Zhang Jinglin was very calm. "No need. I guess he's just hiding to rest for a while. When he's rested enough, he'll naturally come back."
When everyone heard that even Commander Zhang was not in a hurry, they were not in a hurry either. They would wait patiently, and the other party would come back one day.
Previously, although many people did not object to Ren Xiaosu becoming the Commander, they were actually still waiting and observing.
This time, Ren Xiaosu's revenge for Jiang Xu indirectly reflected Ren Xiaosu's character. Not to mention others, anyway, the people in the Northwest felt that it was very satisfying.
Therefore, gradually, more and more people within the Northwest Army openly supported Ren Xiaosu.
Avenging Jiang Xu was a sign of his character, and taking the life of the leader of the Zhou Clan was a sign of his ability. To be honest, other than his military strategy, there was nothing for everyone to nitpick about.
As for his military strategy, Ren Xiaosu had also recruited P5092 and Wang Yun to make up for this shortcoming.
As the Commander of the Northwest Army, there was no need for him to be a military genius. Being able to control a military genius was also considered a skill, right?
More than half a month later, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin woke up early and went to the backyard to pick peaches. The crisp peaches in the Northwest were big and sweet, and their white color with a hint of red made them look especially beautiful.
The two of them picked two baskets of peaches and went to the market to set up a stall. They even paid 5 yuan for the stall fee.
Ren Xiaosu said excitedly, "It's the weekend today, so there are more people at the market than usual. Our peaches will be sold out very soon."
It would be difficult for a normal person to carry a basket of peaches, but Ren Xiaosu could carry two baskets by himself.
After settling down at the stall, Ren Xiaosu said to Yang Xiaojin, "We haven't had breakfast yet. I'll go and buy some buns to make up for it."
"Mhm, I eat chives and eggs," Yang Xiaojin replied with a smile.
Not long after Ren Xiaosu left, an acquaintance came to the stall. It was Sister Hu.
When Sister Hu saw Yang Xiaojin, she was stunned. "Why are you setting up a stall here?"
Yang Xiaojin smiled, picked up two peaches, and stuffed them into Sister Hu's hands. "The peaches at home are ripe, and we thought that we wouldn't be able to finish them both, so we came out to sell them."
But at this moment, Sister Hu seemed to want to say something but stopped herself. This confused Yang Xiaojin. "What's the matter, Sister Hu?"
Sister Hu grumbled, "Your husband has been in the Northwest for so long, but he hasn't gone out to look for a job. He actually let a beautiful girl like you come out to sell peaches to support your family. Is this what a man should do? A beautiful girl like you can find any good man, but why did you fall for such a lazy man who doesn't work … "
Yang Xiaojin was stunned, but then she pursed her lips and smiled. "Sister Hu, it's not like that."
