504 A Presumptuous Request?

“Holy crap!” Xue Erfu’s eyes widened when he entered. “I don’t think the dishes in the restaurants in this town are as good as this. Grandpa, Grandpa, come and take a look.” With that, she turned around to help Xue Da, who had just entered the courtyard.

“Grandpa is here too?” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan asked.

“Yeah,” Liu Guixia said with a smile. “He heard that you two were cooking lunch today, so he insisted on coming.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan hurried out of the kitchen to help Xue Da in.

!!

Xue Da leaned on his walking stick and was grinning from ear to ear. He also went into the kitchen to look at the dishes and naturally thought that they looked really good. He had never seen anyone cook so well, so he was so happy that the saliva almost leaked out from his mouth. However, since he was here, he wanted to go in and see Shao Shuting.

Although Shao Shuting had been rescued, he was still a guest in the old man’s eyes.

Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia accompanied him.

Xue Sanfu also went in with two more basins of ice. He was going to put them in Shao Shuting’s room again.

Li Hehua and the others brought the food to the table in the central room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Hehua was happily chatting with Yu Hongyan as she served the dishes. The two women were having a casual conversation about the meals that were made. They said that the dishes were so beautiful and must be delicious.

When Shao Shuting saw Xue Da and the others come in, he quickly propped himself up and said apologetically, “I apologize for my rude behavior.”

“There’s no need to be so formal now.” Xue Da chuckled. “We’re all farmers, so there’s no need for so many formalities. Lie down, lie down, you have to take care of yourself.”

Shao Shuting lay down again and smiled. “Yes, I’ve been recuperating well. Previously, I must have been too careless and thought that there would not be any major problems. It’s really all thanks to your two children, otherwise I would have already lost my life. A while ago, a servant came, but seeing that I’m not in a good position to move, he did not bring me back. He has already gone back to take things and will come again the next time. In the future, I’ll have to thank you for the service with what I can offer.”

This meant that he would continue to recuperate here and would not be leaving so soon.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchanged a look.

She wondered how the general was able to get away with going back.

Was the service here really that great?

“What’s there to give? ” Xue Dafu laughed. “You can stay here as long as you want and leave after you’ve recovered. That way, we won’t have to worry about you in the future.”

“Then I will have to thank you in advance.” Shao Shuting smiled. Then, without any hesitation, he smiled and said, “Although, I do have a presumptuous request.”

“Is there something wrong?” Xue Da said with a kind expression.

Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia were also concerned.

Shao Shuting felt that this family was really good, but he still told the truth. “I heard from Dagui that you don’t even have enough seedless watermelons for him to sell. Is it still possible to sell two seedless watermelons to me? I’d like to have someone send them to the capital city as soon as possible so that my younger sister can have a taste. My younger sister hasn’t been in a good mood recently. This seedless watermelon is sweet, I’ve even had a bite of it myself. I really want to let my younger sister eat something sweet. Maybe it will make her feel better.”

Originally, he wanted to buy some strawberries and tomatoes. These two things were also rare, but they didn’t look like they could be kept for long.

After the watermelons were picked, they could still be kept for a while. He would order his men to send them to the imperial capital at top speed, day and night. He estimated that they would be delivered in three or four days. By then, the watermelons would still be considered fresh.

Other people might not know, but Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew that this sister was definitely Empress Shao.
