The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers-Chapter 31
Editor: Wiji
As soon as Le Yao thought of the agreement, he became very happy. He had recently said that he would cook more radish and cabbage dishes for Xu Yao, but instead, he went to buy some eggplant in this hot weather. Xu Yao had said that the eggplant dishes he made were delicious, so today, he would cook more eggplant. Anyways, eggplant wasn't invigorating, and didn't easily stoke the 'fire'.
Xu Yao had promised him the fifty days of security easily. He must hold Le Yao very dear in his heart! Some people have said that like was unbridled whilst love was restrained. Such restraint must be love!
Think about it like this, cough! It is just an eggplant ah!
“Mr. Xiao Le, did you go shopping again?” Uncle Ming came out and saw Le Yao walking and humming towards his house. He asked him, “Did something good happen?”
“That’s right.” Le Yao said with a smile, “But it’s a secret between me and the General. I can’t tell you. By the way, Uncle Ming, can you eat sweet desserts?”
“I can.”
“Then I’ll give you some sweet tremella soup later.”
Le Yao made the sweet tremella soup in the morning. The snow mushroom was sweet, had a silky texture, and the cool soup could also relieve one from the heat. He cooked a lot, as the snow mushroom expanded in size when soaked in water. Thus, he could share the dish with the neighbors.
Le Yao went back to his house and put the eggplant in the fridge. He scooped out a big bowl of tremella soup and sent it to Uncle Ming’s house. He would also send the soup to Yan Jie’s house later. But when he arrived at Uncle Ming’s house, he found that both Yan Jie and Tang Ye were there. Hm? Did something just happen?
“Vice Commander Tang, why did you leave the hospital so soon?” Le Yao said, “Don’t you need to rest for a few more days?”
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao Le.” Tang Ye said, “I just need to go and change my medicine a few times. And you are…”
“Oh! I cooked a lot of sweet tremella soup and I thought about sharing it with everyone. I didn’t expect you and Yan Jie to both visit Uncle Ming, but I was just about to send him some soup. Here, you can eat this first. I’ll get another bowl.”
“Thank you, Mr. Xiao Le.” When Yan Jie heard that he also had a share, he immediately wanted to taste it. There were good meals in the Flying Wolf cafeteria, but it was only limited to three meals a day, as well as fruits. So it was rare seeing snacks and desserts.
Seeing that Uncle Ming had gone to get the spoons, Le Yao went back to fill another big bowl, because Tang Ye was also there.
Some of the people here have heard Xu Yao boast that Le Yao was good at cooking, but they had never gotten the chance to taste it themselves. Uncle Ming divided the soup into three small bowls. At the beginning, Uncle Ming just wanted to give Le Yao some face, and if the soup didn't taste good, he would have to keep it for dinner. Who knew that when he took his first sip, it was especially delicious! Not too sweet or greasy, not too light or tasteless, just perfect, and the thin tremella was soft and slippery. Just by putting it into one’s mouth, it was easily swallowed. Because it was previously placed in the refrigerator, the soup was cool and very comfortable to eat during this heat.
“It's sour.” Tang Ye said.
“Ah?” Yan Jie said, “It’s very sweet, isn’t it?” Mr. Le Yao cooking talent was great! Don’t tell him, there was another undead coming for Tang Ye?!
“What I mean is my life is sour. All the good things have been caught by Xu Yao. What can you say about his life? It’s said that the third young master of the Le Family is domineering, arrogant, and completely unreasonable! He's not reliable? I think he’s very reliable as Xu Yao's wife.”
Yan Jie said, "It makes sense. The food is also very delicious. Mr. Xiao Le is so virtuous!"
When Le Yao had brought the second bowl, the first bowl was already eaten clean. Most of the soldiers were straightforward. If they really recognized him as one of their own, they would not be polite. Thus, the second bowl was immediately divided and finished. When Le Yao thought about it, there was only one bowl left for Xu Yao at home, so he couldn’t take it and give them another bowl. If he took it, there would be no more for Xu Yao! So he pretended that he hadn’t seen that the group still hadn't eaten enough, and quickly stepped back and went home to make his eggplant dish!
But he had underestimated others’ curiosity about his craft!
As soon as the eggplant was put into the pot, Tang Ye and Yan Jie come over to his house. Tang Ye said, “Mr. Xiao Le, we have something to talk about with the General. Would it be convenient for us to wait here for him for a while?”
Could Le Yao say it was inconvenient? Of course not! He washed some fruit, cut it and served it on the plate, “Then sit here and wait for him.”
Yan Jie and Tang Ye sat down and had no intention of leaving at all!
Yan Jie, Tang Ye and Xu Yao had been used to each other for a long time. They were just shamelessly sitting there. Xu Yao must have understood their intentions in one glance.
As soon as Xu Yao entered the door, he saw two people sitting in the living room. He wanted to know who their guests were, so he walked over quietly. It turned out to be his brothers. Seriously speaking, he hadn’t invited anyone to have dinner after marrying Le Yao. However, Tang Ye and Yan Jie were the closest to him, so he also wanted to let Le Yao know them better.
After thinking about it, Xu Yao went into the kitchen and said to Le Yao, “Baby, it seems that you have to work harder today to make more dishes.”
Le Yao was surprised when he heard the name 'Baby'. He was electrified, and asked in a low voice, “Do they want to eat here?”
Xu Yao said, “Well, yes.”
The agreement and 50 days of security made Le Yao very happy that day. Wasn't it just a meal, and he just needed to cook a few more dishes? It was an easy task for a first-class cook like him. So, he nodded happily: “Okay, then you can talk to them while I cook dinner. I will join you as soon as possible.”
Xu Yao didn’t leave the kitchen immediately. Instead, he showed the new playing cards he brought back to Le Yao and asked him if they were good.
Le Yao found that it was much better than the cards he had played with back on Earth, and the design was also particularly good-looking. He was in a good mood, and quickly praised the General: “Husband, aren't you too powerful? It’s a thousand times better than what I drew!”
Xu Yao suddenly felt that he was a big man bullying his little wife, which was a bit intolerable. As he thought about it, Xu yao wouldn't be able to contain himself if he teased Le Yao again. So he just stroked Le Yao’s neck and said with a smile, “It’s been hard for you.”
Le Yao waved his hands and quickly prepared the ingredients for dinner. In addition to eggplant dishes for Xu Yao, he also made stir fried meat with asparagus, steamed crab with mashed garlic and vermicelli, braised cabbage with mushrooms, braised potatoes with beef and so on. Thanks to the help of the intelligent chef, it was all quite fast to do. The intelligent chef was able to cook more than one dish at a time, which was the most satisfying thing for Le Yao.
The people in the living room were chatting, when the fragrance of the delicious food went straight into their noses. It seemed that Xu Yao was used to this kind of feeling, but it was hard for Tang Ye and Yan Jie, who were experiencing it for the first time. They went to the cafeteria every day. When they get food from the counter, they go to the room to eat. The food there wasn't fresh because it had been cooked for quite some time.
“It seems that what is said outside is not true.” Tang Ye said in a low voice, “He’s not like a dandy young master at all.”
Xu Yao said, “He is not. That’s what the General Le's current wife had said. You have never met the current Madam Le. On the surface, she looks very good to Le Yao, but in fact, it is very different. And about Le Yao’s cheap brother, if Omegas in the world were all like him, I would rather be single.”
“They're so shameless.” Yan Jie was also in the conference room at that time. He also saw Jiang Xinduo and Le Tianyu in the video with Le Yao through Xu Yao’s mecha. He was speechless after seeing the video.
Yan Jie said, “Tang Ye, those two people are wicked. Shortly after Mr. Xiao Le left Tarot star, Le Tianyu moved to Mr. Xiao Le’s room. Those two people were like dove occupying magpie nests. Then, the stepmother said that Mr. Xiao Le worked too hard here. The brother also asked Mr. Xiao Le to ask General Yue for a divorce.”
Tang Ye said, “We know the people, know their faces, but don’t know their hearts. If I remember correctly, Jiang Xinduo married Le Feishan and gave birth to two Omegas, but what Le Feishan wanted was Alpha, so Jiang Xinduo found an excuse to put the two small ones at her mother’s house. After all, she was worried about their safety.”
Xu Yao said, “I have some doubts about the relationship between Le Tianyu and General Le. You didn’t see how good General Le was to his stepson. One of Le Yao’s two cousins is named Le Tianzheng, the other is Le Tianqi. When he remarried and the mother and son pair came to live together with Le Yao, the stepson changed his name to Le Tianyu. The other two little Omegas are also called Le Tian. Only Le Yao is like an outsider in their house.”
Yan Jie said, “Never mind. We’ll treat him as family in the future. I have to recognize Mr. Xiao Le as a family for his amazing cooking skills. The sweet tremella soup he made was so delicious!”
“Tremella soup?” Xu Yao raised his eyebrows and shouted toward the kitchen, “Le Yaoyao, do I get tremella soup?”
Le Yao shouted, “Yes, I kept it for you in the fridge! You can eat it later!”
When the dishes were served, Xu Yao saw that there was a bowl of tremella soup in front of him. One after another, the white tremellas were boiled until they became a bit sticky and soft. It tasted good with a few red wolfberries. He found that his little wife was really similar to this bowl of tremella soup, which made people feel sweet even before eating.
Le Yao cooked many dishes and his body felt hot and sweaty. His face was red and his forehead was damp with sweat beads. He said to everyone, “You can eat first. I’ll ask Uncle Ming to come over and eat dinner together.”
No one moved their chopsticks.
Later, when Le Yao and Uncle Ming were seated, they started dinner.
Xu Yao took a big piece of meat for Le Yao, “This looks the best. Try it.”
In fact, Le Yao felt a little full after he cooked and tried a little of the dishes back in the kitchen, but this was the first time Xu Yao picked up food for him. It was not bad. Thus, he ate some. While the other three performed what was called 'gobbling up', Uncle Ming’s eating manner was much more polite.
Xu Yao said, “Don’t come again later!”
Tang Ye: “How can you say that? I’ve just decided to come here often. Can I come here again, Mr. Xiao Le?”
Le Yao bit his chopsticks and murmured, “No, I have to listen to my husband.”
Tang Ye was speechless. Seeing Xu Yao laugh like a satisfied wolf with a big tail wagging behind him, he became even more speechless. Why was Le Yao so good to you? Hmph!
The more he looked at his wife, the rarer he was. After dinner, he decided to take him out for a walk. They went to the seaside near the camp, and Xu Yao took Le Yao’s hand seriously for the first time. Even though Xu Yao had done much more intimate things than this, at this moment of two hands clasped together, there was a different trace of emotions in their hearts.
At this time, Le Yao asked, “Husband, if I set up more tombs in the same place as Rong Gui's tomb, will it have any impact on our division?”
“It depends on how much more you want to set. Why do you ask this?” said Xu Yao.
“I want to raise the dead soldiers so that they can help with night duty. They are not afraid of heat, and are not as easy to discover. They should be able to help you.” said Le Yao.
Xu Yao looked at the person who said the sentence seriously and didn't say anything.
…
The author has something to say:
Ah ah ah! I can’t bear to give such a good Le Yaoyao to Xu Yao!
