Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

4Shen Yue'er counted the silver that he earned, his eyes narrowing into a line as he smiled. Thirty roast duck meat was only worth thirty silver, minus the cost of the materials, he estimated that he could earn around ten silver. If he had this income every day, then he would earn a few hundred silver every month, and after a short while, she would become a rich woman.    3

    

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Shen Yue'er's smiling face was about to bloom, and Chen Yuan Yuan and Wang HuaiRong who were helping him by the side were also very happy. The more money their master earned, the higher their wages would be.    

    

Shen Yue'er was indeed very happy. She put away the silver coins he earned and then took out a few red packets, "Since we're starting the business today, I'll give everyone a red packet. I hope our roast duck restaurant will be full of red flowers this year."    

    

Shen Yue'er gave the red packet to Chen Yuan Yuan, Wang Huaigrong and Chang Lai. Other than them, who came often, the other two people were very happy as they spoke some good words to Shen Yue'er.    

    

The red packet that Shen Yue'er had given them contained two hundred gold coins, Chen Yuan and Wang Huairong became even happier, and when they remembered that they didn't have work to do in the afternoon, they discussed whether they should go shopping.    

    

"Boss, there's nothing going on in the afternoon, can we go shopping?" Wang Huaigrong asked.    

    

Shen Yue'er looked at the sky outside, it was only noon, and since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he nodded his head and said: "Alright, you guys can go out and play, but remember to come back early. We still have matters to take care of in the evening."    

    

"Thank you, boss." Wang Huairong and Chen Yuan thanked him happily as they went out together.    

    

Shen Yue'er tidied up the kitchen and came out to find that Chang Zai was still there. He asked curiously, "Aren't you going to walk around with them?"    

    

Chang Lai shook his head, and sat down to sharpen his kitchen knife, "I will bring Huaixin out for a stroll later."    

    

When he thought of his younger brother, a trace of gentleness and an even harder sharpening appeared on Chang Lai's expressionless face.    

    

"If you want to bring Huaixin out, you have to greet my Fourth Brother." Shen Yue'er reminded him, "Fourth Brother just said that he will be returning. If you don't hurry, they might be gone."    

    

When Chang Li heard this, he couldn't be bothered to grind the kitchen knife anymore. He hung the knife up, washed his hands, and ran out the door in a hurry.    

    

Just as Shen Jingli and the others were about to leave, Xun Er and Huaixin had already boarded the horse carriage.    

    

Just as Shen Jingli was about to get on the carriage, he heard a familiar sound, so he stopped and stepped back, "What is it?"    

    

"I want to take Huaixin for a stroll and buy some things." He often came to say that.    

    

Hearing his brother's voice, Chang Huaixin came out of the carriage, her eyes shining as she looked at Chang Lai, and called out sweetly, "Brother."    

    

Xun Er also came out and laid on Huaixin's body, holding him in his arms, he looked at Chang Lai warily, as if he was a bandit trying to steal his things.    

    

Seeing Chang Huaixin, Chang Lai curled his lips and walked up to him in quick steps. He reached out to pick Huaixin up, but was stopped by Xun Er.    

    

"I want to take Huaixin to buy things." He often came to say that.    

    

Xun Er looked at him, then turned back to look at Huaixin. He suddenly hugged Huaixin and stuffed him into the carriage, then shook his head resolutely, "No, Huaixin is mine, I won't take him away."    

    

Looking at his son's overbearing appearance, Shen Jingli felt a headache. Could it be that this little overlord was treating Huaixin as a toy?    

    

Chang Huaixin was so confused that he did not know what was going on. After being pushed inside, he crawled out by himself, looked at Xun Er, and then at Chang Lai. He reached out to grab Xun Er's clothes, and said: "Come with me, I'll get big brother to buy you some delicious food."    

    

With the principle of sharing good things with his good friends, Huaixin obediently smiled at Xun Er.    

    

Xun Er pondered for a while like a little adult, and after a while, reluctantly agreed unwillingly.    

    

"Mama, I want to take Huaixin to buy something."    

    

Seeing him seriously discussing with him, Shen Jingli could not help but laugh.    

    

Seeing Shen Jingli laughing, Xun Er became sullen and took over Huaixin by force, hiding him behind his back.    

    

"Mama, I want to take Huaixin to buy something." Xun Er said again.    

    

Shen Jingli looked at Xun Er, then looked at Chang Lai, and nodded: "Alright, but you cannot run around."    

    

Xun Er thought about it seriously and nodded his head.    

    

Chang Lai saw that Shen Jingli agreed, he extended his hand to hug Huaixin, but was slapped away by Xun Er. Chang Lai looked at him unhappily, "You are not allowed to hug Huaixin, Huaixin is mine."    

    

Xun Er was extremely tyrannical, his small body tightly hugging Huaixin, afraid that he would be snatched away.    

    

He could only take a step back and look at his brother with a little reluctance. He was a little depressed, thinking that it would be easier for his brother to follow the young master, but he never expected the little master to be so overbearing, not even allowing him to get close to his brother. If he knew that this would happen, he wouldn't have agreed to let his brother go to his little master's side.    

    

Chang Lai's heart was filled with regret, and he looked at Huaixin with eyes filled with love and reluctance.    

    

"Xun Er, stop messing around." Shen Jingli reached out and picked Xun Er up, "You don't want to come here often to carry Huaixin, do you want him to walk there by himself? Or do you want to carry him? "    

    

Xun Er looked at Huaixin a few times, then looked at his little hands, and shook his head. Then, he quickly added: "You can carry him, but not too far away from me."    

    

As long as he could be with his younger brother, he would come often and happily, not caring about this request at all.    

    

Huaixin happily threw himself into his embrace, his rosy little face rubbing against his as usual, "Big brother."    

    

"Did you cause any trouble at the main house?" Chang Li asked with concern.    

    

"Nope." Huaixin shook his head, the ones who were in trouble were all the Young Master, it had nothing to do with him.    

    

"Did the Young Master bully you?" Chang Lai turned his head to look at Shen Jingli and asked quietly.    

    

Although he lowered his voice, it was still heard by Shen Jingli. Shen Jingli who was conversing with the coachman smiled, he really was a good brother who doted on his younger brother.    

    

"Nope." Huaixin shook his head once again, "Young Master treats me very well, he even taught me to play with his toys, gave me milk to drink, and even gave me eggs to eat."    

    

Huaixin counted everything that Xun Er had done for him, and the more he counted, the more he felt that Xun Er had treated him well.    

    

He came here often to hear him say this, and seeing that his complexion was better than before, he was relieved. He was not worried about his hardships, he was only afraid that his younger brother would be bullied.    

    

"..."    

    

This was his first time out shopping. Huaixin felt that everything that he saw was magical, just like Grandma Liu entering a large ornamental garden.    

    

"Big Brother, look, there are candied fruits over there." Huaixin drooled as he shook his head, obviously wanting to eat it.    

    

"You want to eat it?" Chang Zai asked, his heart weighing the pros and cons. The red packet that Shen Yue'er had given him had two hundred gold coins, so it should be able to buy quite a lot of things.    

    

Huaixin nodded his head very seriously, he had never eaten a candied fruit before. He had heard his fellow village's Little Fatty say before that the candied fruit was delicious, and that it was wrapped in sweetness outside, very, very sweet.    

    

Chang Li brought him over and said to the person selling the candied fruits, "Give me two bunches of candied fruits."    

    

"Alright." The person selling the candied fruits was very happy, so he took out two bunches of candied fruits and gave them to Chang Li.    

    

Just as Chang Lai was about to pay for the food, Xun Er rushed forward and shouted, "I'll buy it for Huaixin."    

    

As he said that, he fished in his pockets, took out a silver tael, and handed it over to the person selling the candied fruits, declaring once again, "I'll buy it for Huaixin."    

    

The person selling the candied fruits looked at the tael of silver with hesitation, then raised his head and looked somewhat awkwardly at Chang Bai, "Customer, I can't find this silver."    

    

He only sold candied fruits for a few dozen coins a day, and he might not even earn a tael of silver in half a year.    

    

Nian Hua hurriedly came forward and took out some copper coins from Xun Er's pockets. He took out fifteen candied fruits to sell and gave one candied fruit to Xun Er.    

    

Looking at his son's expression, Shen Jingli couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He really was an ungrateful bastard, saving so much money in private and not seeing him buy anything for his parents.    

    

"Thank you, Xun Er." Huaixin didn't feel that anything was wrong, instead, he felt very happy. He even urged Chang Lai to hurry up and eat, "Big brother, you eat too, the candied fruits are very delicious."    

    

Seeing that Huaixin was very happy, Xun Er also laughed complacently, and passed the silver in his hands to Huaixin: "Huaixin, I'll buy this silver for you, buy whatever you want, I have money."    

    

Xun Er proudly patted his chest. Seeing him like that, Shen Jingli felt like he was the overbearing CEO.    

    

Huaixin didn't even know what a silver coin was. He was especially happy that Xun Er had given it to him and he accepted it.    

    

He was just about to teach his brother a lesson and not take anything that was given to him by others, but he suddenly heard Huaixin's happy voice, "Brother, it's Sugar Man. Brother, I want to buy Sugar Man."    

    

Hearing that Huaixin wanted to buy a Sugar Man, Xun Er quickly brought his men over, so that Chang Zai wouldn't have time to speak even if he had something to say.    

    

After buying Sugar Man, he would often come over to help Huaixin pull some cloths to make new clothes, but when he went to the cloth shop, he found out that one piece of sackcloth costed over a hundred gold, and his two hundred gold could at most buy one cloth.    

    

Chang Li was a bit frustrated, but he still gritted his teeth and bought a piece of cloth for his younger brother.    

    

Shen Jingli led Xun Er and accompanied him as they strolled back and forth to Vermillion Bird Street. Along the way, they often turned into their younger brother the Berserk Demon, he would buy whatever Huaixin wanted, and would spend all the money they had on him.

Next morning    

    

Roast Duck Restaurant Backyard    

    

Chang came with two hands, one hand holding a fat and skinny duck, the other quickly wiping a knife across its neck, bleeding the duck. Chang came with two hands, one hand holding a fat and thin appropriate duck, the other quickly wiping a knife across its neck, bleeding the duck, and waiting for the duck to almost stop struggling.    

    

"Boss, I've dealt with the ducks."    

    

Shen Yue'er was busy mixing the spices and boiling the sugar water. When he turned around, he saw the large bowl of prepared duck, but didn't have any special reaction. He just instructed him, "Since you're done, let's rest for a while."    

    

Chang Lai nodded his head, turned around and left, and once again sat down beside the grindstone to sharpen the kitchen knife.    

    

Shen Yue'er didn't say anything. Instead, he earnestly picked up the ducks one by one, and then brushed the boiling sweet water onto the ducks one by one. Then, he hung the ducks in the dark and cool room next door.    

    

Chen Yuan Yuan wiped off his sweat with his handkerchief and ran in from the outside, and said to Shen Yue'er: "Boss, the customers lining up outside are making a ruckus again, shouldn't we open the oven to roast the ducks?"    

    

There were a few wealthy Taoists who had eaten roast duck and had always been thinking to themselves that they would send someone to line up early in the morning. They were afraid that if they arrived late, they wouldn't be able to buy a roast duck, and if there were some customers who had heard the rumors and wanted to try a taste, they would all line up at the entrance. When they saw that the restaurant was not open yet, it was extremely noisy.    

    

"Wait till I've done this, then we'll start the furnace." Shen Yue'er was not in a hurry at all. The more they made a ruckus, the more famous the roast duck restaurant would become.
