Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 281 The Old Man

The medicine was freshly boiled and still hot. Xiao Jinzi brought it over on a tray. He Pingdu took a look at the steaming medicine.

"Put it aside for now and drink it when it cools down."

Xiao Jinzi said with a bitter face, "Master, why are you still the same as before?

The medicine should be taken while it is hot. If you drink it with a spoon, blow on it before drinking so that it is not hot. "

When Song Sanniang heard Xiao Jinzi say that, she asked, "What was it like before?"

He Pingdu glanced at Xiao Jinzi, warning him not to say anything. This glance did not escape Song Sanniang's eyes.

She looked at Xiao Jinzi and said, "Tell me, if your master punishes you, I will be there."

Xiao Jinzi glanced at He Pingdu's face, which looked a little helpless. It could be said that

So he said happily, "When I was young, I was weak and often sick, so I often had to take medicine.

He didn't like taking medicine, so he said he would drink it when it cooled down. Then when it cooled down, he would pour the medicine into potted plants or the toilet when no one was paying attention."

Song Sanniang didn't expect that he would do such childish things when he was a child, and couldn't help laughing.

He Pingdu's ears turned a little red. He still felt embarrassed when she knew his embarrassing story.

Song Sanniang then asked Xiao Jinzi to let the medicine cool down before letting He Pingdu drink it. He Pingdu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, breakfast was delivered from the kitchen, so the maids put the breakfast on the table, and Xiao Jinzi followed the maids and left.

Song Sanniang asked, "Do you want to come over to eat, or eat in bed?"

He Pingdu certainly didn't want to eat in bed, so he got up and sat down at the table.

The breakfast sent from the kitchen included a bowl of light lean meat porridge, a bowl of lean meat noodles, a plate of small pickles, a bowl of steamed egg, and a plate of fish balls.

He Pingdu chose lean meat porridge for himself, while Song Sanniang ate lean meat noodles. The He family's pickled vegetables were also delicious, with cucumbers, shredded radishes, and shredded papayas, which tasted crisp and refreshing.

Song Sanniang and He Pingdu had breakfast together. Song Sanniang asked someone to bring some candied fruit.

She coaxed He Pingdu to drink the cold medicine in one gulp, and then let him eat candied fruit to relieve the bitterness in his mouth.

He Pingdu listened to her and drank the medicine. Then he put a candied fruit in his mouth and suddenly said, "My tooth hurts."

Song Sanniang was a little confused when she heard this, wondering why she had a toothache, so she came closer to him and

"Let me see."

He Pingdu smiled triumphantly and pulled her to sit on his lap, then kissed her on the lips.

He passed the candied fruit in his mouth to hers, and his tongue intertwined with hers.

Song Sanniang frowned. She tasted the bitter taste of the medicine in his mouth.

He Pingdu let her go, the smile still on his face.

"My dear, the medicine tastes so bitter, but your mouth is so sweet."

Song Sanniang twisted his arm and asked, "Isn't that childish? Are you still a child?"

He Pingdu stared at her with a smile in his eyes, "But it's very sweet."

Song Sanniang blushed when she heard this, but she still raised her head and kissed his lips.

"Take the medicine and continue to sleep for a while. I think you'll be fine when you wake up."

He Pingdu nodded, and then carried her to the bed, "Sleep with me."

Song Sanniang was not sleepy at all, but seeing him like this, she decided to stay with him until he fell asleep.

He Pingdu put her on the bed, and they both lay sideways. He hugged her whole body, holding her in his arms, and then narrowed his eyes.

After a while, probably because of the effect of the medicine, he fell into a drowsy sleep.

Song Sanniang heard his breathing as he slept and was a little afraid to move, but she couldn't sleep, so she could only think about getting up and going to the kitchen to make something for him to eat.

After thinking for a while, I decided to make him a nice children's meal later. Today he is just a sick child.

When I could move in his arms and he didn't react, and I was sure he was sleeping soundly,

She gently crawled out of his arms and climbed off the bed. She told Xiao Jinzi to stay and take care of He Pingdu, and then she went out.

Lanhua had returned, and the master and servant went to the kitchen. Song Sanniang felt it was amazing that she would set foot in the He family's kitchen again after so many years.

That year, she and her mother went to the He family to make sweet soup for the guests at Junjie's coming-of-age ceremony.

Although she was not going to the kitchen that specialized in making desserts today, this time she was setting foot in the He family's kitchen again as the third wife of the He family.

Because someone had notified the kitchen in advance, when the kitchen staff saw Song Sanniang and her servant, the steward came up to greet them.

"Manager He, why are you bothering me to come here?"

When Song Sanniang saw the person who came to greet her, she was overwhelmed with emotions. This was her benefactor.

Without him, her entrepreneurial business would not have taken off so quickly in the beginning, so she would give him gifts every year during the holidays.

He Yunfei looked at the person in front of him whom he was about to call Third Madam, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Who could have imagined that a little country girl would start selling sweet soup with her father on a shoulder pole, eventually open dozens of sweet soup shops and become the third wife of the He family.

In fact, thanks to her, I have risen from a small purchasing manager to the third-in-command of the He Mansion, and I am in charge of all purchasing matters in the backyard.

He no longer had to deduct money from his own hands to give benefits to the superiors so that they would not trip him up.

In the mansion, the most scheming and greedy people are actually the slaves at the bottom.

People often fight for a position or sell their dignity for a little profit.

"Madam, what you said is right. It is thanks to you that I, He Yunfei, can become the chief steward. I bow to you."

He Yunfei received holiday gifts from her every year, so he naturally knew that she wanted to be on good terms with him and that she did not forget her roots, but he must not be stupid.

"Okay, let's stop wasting time. I have to prepare lunch quickly, otherwise Master San will wake up soon." Song Sanniang said with a smile.

"Okay, Third Madam, come with me." He Yunfei then took her to the largest and most convenient stove that he had prepared.

"Who is making the taro cake and radish cake? Are they ready?" Song Sanniang asked curiously.

"It's already been steamed. You may not know that you know that person, Cook Liu." He Yunfei replied.

"So it was her. I remember that the lotus cakes she made back then were so beautiful, just like the real thing." As soon as He Yunfei mentioned it, Song Sanniang immediately remembered.

He Yunfei chatted with her for a while, and Song Sanniang selected the ingredients she wanted to use and started to make lunch.

She actually doesn't cook very often, because there are many people in the kitchen. As long as she says it, they can make what she wants.

Only when she feels like it will she do it herself without asking anyone else for help.
