Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 547 - 546: Braised Venison

He stretched and got up, saying, "Miss Shen, what ingredients do you need for the braised venison? I’ll have someone prepare them."

Shen Qinglan replied, "Do you have pen and paper? I’ll write a list."

Fu Junyan nodded, "I do, I’ll go get them for you."

"I can’t stand these clothes reeking," Le Zhao called out to the departing Fu Junyan, "Fu Junyan, do you have any clothes for changing?"

Fu Junyan stopped and turned back, "Rest assured, since I said you’d stay, of course, we have prepared clothes for you to change into. However..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

His gaze fell on Shen Qinglan and Du Bingxue, "You two ladies might have to make do with wearing Steward Liang’s daughter’s clothes. Don’t worry, Steward Liang said they are all newly made."

Both nodded at this.

Fu Junyan returned shortly with pen, ink, paper, and an inkstone. Shen Qinglan wrote down the ingredients needed for the cooking and handed it to Fu Junyan.

Soon, Fu Junyan had someone send the venison and ingredients to the kitchen.

"I’ll go help!"

When good food was involved, Xuan Ying was naturally the first to rush forward to help.

Shen Qinglan and Du Bingxue exchanged smiles, making Duan Yunfei and Fu Junyan feel a bit envious.

Duan Yunfei got up and said, "I’ll go help too!"

"I’ll go too!" Fu Junyan raised his hand.

"No need," Shen Qinglan shook her head and declined, "Too many people will just get in the way; the three of us are enough."

The two looked at Xuan Ying, only to find that Xuan Ying, who was singles-mindedly thinking about food, hadn’t noticed their looks at all, and eagerly followed Shen Qinglan and Du Bingxue to the kitchen.

Le Zhao and Xuan Ming looked at the two, full of resentment, and secretly wanted to laugh.

Duan Yunfei lightly snorted, "That kid Xuan Ying is becoming increasingly oblivious."

Le Zhao chuckled lightly, "As long as there’s good food, nothing else matters to him."

The people in the kitchen kept busy until the middle of the night before they could wash up.

"Will it be okay to just leave the charcoal burning like that?" Du Bingxue asked.

"All the firewood has been taken out and extinguished, it should be fine," Shen Qinglan yawned, "You should get some rest too."

Du Bingxue nodded and turned back to her room.

Early the next morning, Shen Qinglan got up to check on the braised venison. Seeing that the water had cooled, she quickly rekindled the fire to continue cooking.

When Duan Yunfei entered, he saw her resting her arms on the dining table with her eyes closed.

He walked in quietly and just sat across from her, only to see Shen Qinglan, who had her eyes closed, open them to look at him indifferently.

After a moment, she blinked, as if she finally realized who was in front of her, the indifferent look faded, replaced by a soft smile.

Duan Yunfei cupped her face in his hands, gently pinched it, and laughed softly, "If you’re sleepy, why don’t you go back to your room to sleep?"

"I’m not that sleepy, just wanted to close my eyes for a bit."

Shen Qinglan removed his hand, stretched, and raised an eyebrow, "Your peach blossom is missing, didn’t you notice?"

Duan Yunfei was stunned, asked doubtfully, "What peach blossom?"

Shen Qinglan chuckled, "Nothing."

She suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Du Bingling. When everyone returned yesterday, not a single person noticed she was missing, nor did anyone ask about her.

"Miss Shen, is the braised venison ready?" Le Zhao asked with a smile as soon as he reached the kitchen door.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Almost ready."

Le Zhao came in, sat down next to Duan Yunfei, and yawned with his hand over his mouth.

Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "The sun rise from the west today?"

Le Zhao wiped the corner of his eyes, lightly hushing, "When I was practicing martial arts, I used to get up early every day too, okay?"
