After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

They stood in the yard for a long time listening to the loud music played by other people, and then returned to the kitchen to prepare this afternoon's meal.

Grandma Chen is experienced in cooking, but her dishes are quite conventional. Jiang Sheng, on the other hand, has learned a lot of new styles of dishes from the system. Even Yingqiu and Yingyue can cook one or two dishes. Everyone shows off their skills in the kitchen.

I worked until the afternoon and managed to prepare a table full of dishes.

Good food is not enough without good wine. Jiang Sheng had heard that Jiangcheng was rich in strong liquor, which was much stronger than the mellow liquor in the capital. She had long wanted to try it.

Nanzhu followed her instructions and bought a large jar early.

During the meal, Jiang Sheng poured a glass of wine for everyone except He Ruolan.

Jiang Sheng, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his glass and said with a smile

"It's a new year again. I've experienced so many things in the past year, both good and bad. Of course, the bad things are more, but I've made it through. Life is a long journey, and there's still a lot of time to go. Let's forget about the unhappy things. May we all be successful and get what we want!"

Everyone raised their glasses

"Everything goes well and everything you wish for is fulfilled!"

"Everything goes well and everything you wish for is fulfilled!"

Chu Xiangming stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said solemnly

"Dr. Jiang, thank you for saving my wife and daughter, and thank you for letting them stay here. I cannot thank you enough. If you need Chu Xiangming in Jiangcheng, please let me know.

Ruolan can't drink, so I'll toast you a glass on her behalf."

Chu Xiangming could see that Ruolan was very happy living here and felt a lot more relaxed.

She had been planning to move out, but then her daughter fell ill and she changed her mind.

He thought, on the one hand, his daughter was one thing, and on the other hand, she herself liked the atmosphere here.

Jiang Sheng responded to him

"Military Advisor Chu, you are too polite. I am new here and I feel like I have known Ruolan for a long time. We have similar personalities. I am very happy that she lives here."

The two men drank the wine in their glasses.

During the meal, Chu Xiangming was also very attentive, constantly picking up dishes for He Ruolan. As long as He Ruolan's eyes stayed on a dish for a moment, that dish would appear in her mouth within a few seconds.

On her plate.

He Ruolan's attempts to stop him were ineffective, so she could only let him go.

Mrs. Chen was a very eloquent person. Many things in Bianjiang City were particularly interesting when she described them. Everyone ate while listening to her.

Yuzhu and Yingyue would talk about some interesting things that happened in the capital from time to time, and the meal was very enjoyable and lively.

The afternoon meal was finally finished when it was getting dark.

Chen Po and the others were used to drinking strong liquor, so nothing happened to them. But Jiang Sheng and the other two were both drunk and felt dizzy. After Yingyue made Xufeng drink a glass of wine, he went to bed early.

Only Yingqiu was still sober because she had a good alcohol tolerance. She helped everyone into the house to rest.

Chu Xiangming went to He Ruolan's room. He Ruolan looked at him.

"You've been too naughty today. New Year's Eve is different from other festivals. You should go back in the afternoon."

Chu Xiangming shook his head and laughed. Now those elders probably wished that he would not go back.

The general's wife has been very displeased with the Chu family recently, and the Chu family members are also suffering.

The elders of the clan came to him all day long, urging him to take Ruolan back home as soon as possible. For this purpose, they even moved his dead parents out.

But he didn't want to force her.

He had already let her down. She could stay here as long as she wanted and could go back whenever she wanted.

He will always be with her and wait for her.

Wait until she lets go of the grudge in her heart.

"I will stay with you and the children tonight, and I will go back tomorrow."

"Chu Xiangming, you are now the head of the Chu family. You should know the importance of doing things. Why are you still so willful?"

"I am spending the New Year with my wife and daughter. I think they will understand."

"you…"

Chu Xiangming brought the child over and coaxed him softly. He Ruolan felt upset, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Mrs. Chen was an efficient worker. Seeing that they were all drunk, she started to mix the dough and stuffing herself. By the time these drunkards woke up, Mrs. Chen had already made all the dumplings.

"The market in Bianjiang City will open tomorrow night and will last until the Lantern Festival. You can go out for a stroll.

This is the only time of the year when things can get lively for a few days.”

Jiang Sheng rubbed his head

"Really? I've never heard of it before. I have to go check it out tomorrow."

At night, everyone gathered together to celebrate the New Year. Jiang Sheng learned the methods of later generations and made a lot of five-spice peanuts and fried a lot of salty melon seeds, which won unanimous praise from everyone.

People in Lingbei have a strong taste for food, so they like both of these things very much.

He Ruolan looked at the two snacks and whispered

"Shengsheng, I want to buy the recipes for these two snacks."

"This thing is not a serious snack, and anyone who is interested can learn it easily. If you buy it, I'm afraid you won't make much money."

He Ruolan naturally knows this truth

"I think this thing is great. If we put it in the restaurant and give each table of guests a free portion, the diners will definitely like it."

“That’s really good.”

Jiang Sheng felt that He Ruolan was a person with a particularly good business sense. In other words, if she were put in the future, she would definitely be a business woman.

Although the two were very familiar with each other, they still had to stick to the details of the transaction. They wrote a very detailed contract, stamped it with seals, and paid the money.

However, Jiang Sheng also gave her a very favorable price, and both of them could be said to be very satisfied.

In the middle of the night, firecrackers were heard one after another around them. Yuzhu and Yingyue ran in and said,

"Miss, Miss, it's snowing outside again."

"Miss, come and see, the moon outside is so big and beautiful."

Jiang Sheng was dragged out by the two men and came to the courtyard, where he found that it was indeed as beautiful as they said.

In the moonlight, the snowflakes seem to be shining silver and sparkling.

Azhou had never seen such heavy snow. If he had seen it, he would probably like it very much.

So much time has passed in a flash.

Jiang Sheng stood under the eaves, looking up at the heavy snow. Although his expression could not be seen clearly, he looked inexplicably sad.

This was the scene He Ruolan saw when she walked over.

She came over and asked softly

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Sheng replied muttering to himself

“Thinking about someone I may never see again.”

He Ruolan knew something about the Lu family, and sighed slightly when she heard this.

"You always tell me that things will get better and unhappy things will pass. Now I want to tell you the same thing."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head and smiled

"I understand the reason, I just miss him too much."
