Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 110 Radish Balls

It was half an hour later when the soldiers brought over the two prepared pigs.

The townspeople had mostly gathered, and Su Yue led the men to carry pork to distribute to them as New Year's meat.

Fearing that someone might take advantage of the chaos to steal the meat, Liang Rong led a squad of soldiers along as well.

The meat was distributed very quickly. The main problem was that the people were dressed in thin clothes, and it was snowing continuously in the summer. I was really afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would freeze into an ice pop.

These people all knew that the only reason they could still eat a decent piece of pork these days was because of the little girl who was surrounded by people not far away.

Some who knew how to be grateful would kneel down and kowtow in the direction Su Yue was standing to show their thanks, then take their share of meat and quickly run home, only feeling at ease after closing the door.

The meat was divided very quickly, and it was all gone in less than an hour.

With Liang Rong's careful escort, Su Yue finally arrived safely at the courtyard.

However, unexpectedly, when they arrived at the courtyard gate, Su Yue didn't even say a single polite word to Liang Rong.

Without hesitation, he walked straight into the courtyard and quickly closed the gate, as if afraid that Liang Rong would take the opportunity to break in.

In fact, just as she approached the courtyard, Su Yue's sensitive nose had already caught a whiff of the rich aroma wafting from inside—the enticing smell of a stewing pork knuckle.

For Su Yue, who is usually a bit stingy, this is something she can't let others take advantage of.

Because she knew that if Liang Rong came into the house with her, given the old man's habits, he would definitely try to take advantage of her.

She had already reluctantly taken out seventeen plump pigs, and whenever she thought of this, Su Yue's heart would ache as if it were being pricked by needles.

So no matter what, this time we absolutely cannot let anyone easily step into this yard to share her delicious food.

Poor Liang Rong was thus inexplicably turned away, and his originally rough face instantly turned bright red.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Do I really look that greedy? Is it really necessary to close the door in such a hurry..."

Despite some dissatisfaction, he had to admit that the aroma of stewed meat wafting out was indeed mouthwatering and incredibly tempting!

Left with no other choice, Liang Rong shook his head, thinking that he should wait until tomorrow to discuss serious matters with Su Yue.

After all, today is a festive day, and I have to hurry home. Otherwise, if I get home too late, the delicious stewed meat at home will probably have been devoured by other people!

Meanwhile, Su Yue, who had successfully kept Liang Rong out of the door, happily strode into the courtyard.

She practically ran towards the kitchen, drawn by a wonderful aroma that captivated her.

As expected, the moment Su Yue stepped into the kitchen, the sharp-eyed Qiao Xiang immediately spotted her.

Qiaoxiang, beaming with excitement, called out, "Oh my, Your Excellency, you're finally back! Come in, come in and try the fried lotus root cakes and radish balls that Qiaoyun made. They're fresh out of the pan and still piping hot!"

When Su Yue left in the morning, she said that it was a festival today and she wanted to eat well, so several maids started thinking about making something delicious for her.

Although Su Yue wasn't a picky eater before, her appetite has become quite discerning now.

"Then I'll try it." Su Yue took the bowl that Qiaoyun had filled.

She picked up her chopsticks, gently picked up a round, golden radish ball, and put it in her mouth.

With just one bite, you can feel the crispy outer layer and the soft inside of the meatball, the texture is just right, and it leaves you wanting more.

"Wow, Qiaoyun, your fried meatballs are absolutely amazing! They're so delicious!" Su Yue couldn't help but praise them.

At the same time, her gaze fell on Qiaoyun, who was frying lotus root cakes.

Watching Qiaoyun's busy figure, Su Yue's heart was filled with joy.

Meanwhile, Dali, who was standing to the side, was already drooling with envy, staring longingly at the bowl in Su Yue's hand.

Seeing this, Su Yue smiled and picked up a radish ball, handing it to Dali.

Dali quickly took it and put it in his mouth, chewing it vigorously.

She only chewed it a couple of times before swallowing it whole, as if she felt that the amount was not enough for her to savor its delicious flavor.

Even so, the rich aroma still satisfied him.

Praised by Su Yue, Qiaoyun, whose face was already slightly flushed from working, blushed even more deeply, her face turning as red as a ripe apple.

Su Yue served Dali a bowl of dumplings and then washed her hands before helping Qiaoxia make dumplings.

She hadn't had such a lively New Year in a long time; ever since she started living alone in her previous life, she had never had a proper New Year.

This is her first year in this world, and being with them makes it a reunion year for her.

Qiaoxiang, Qiaoyun, and Qiaoxia, these little maids, are all orphans. Their families have either all died or they were sold when they were young, so they don't remember where their homes are.

Now that they've all gotten together, it's quite a lively gathering.

As long as Dali has food and can be with Su Yue, he'll be happy this New Year.

When Qiaoxia saw Su Yue coming over to make dumplings, she was so frightened that she immediately stood up and tried to push Su Yue away, but her hands were full of dough, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.

"My Lord, you should go and rest. I'll be done here soon."

Seeing Qiaoxia's nervous look, Su Yue put down the dumpling she had just wrapped. "Never mind, one is enough."

I'm really afraid that if we keep going like this, Qiaoxia will really cry.

Qiaoxiang put down the spatula in her hand and took out some peanut candy from the cabinet next to her. "Immortal Envoy, please have some of this! We just made it this morning."

Su Yue took it and tasted a piece. It was crispy and sweet, and it was indeed delicious. It felt even better than what she had eaten in her previous life.

I don't know if it's because of their skill or the high quality of the peanuts grown in the space.

"Mmm, this is delicious too. You guys are all so capable." Su Yue was in a good mood today, and compliments came out of her mouth without thinking.

The young maids blushed as they were praised.

Dali had just finished a bowl of fried meatballs when he heard Su Yue praising someone.

He also went over and stared longingly at the peanut candy that Su Yue was holding.

Su Yue was worried that Dali would eat too much at once, just like she did with chestnuts, so she divided the pieces into two for her.

Dali never complained about the amount; she would eat as much as Su Yue gave her.

Su Yue couldn't help at all in the kitchen, so she took the roasted peanuts and melon seeds that Qiao Xiang had packed for her and went to the dining table to wait.

As Dali and Su Yue ate sunflower seeds and watched the snowflakes fall outside, they felt as if something was missing.

By the way, it's Chinese New Year, and people usually put up couplets and hang lanterns. This year, there have been disasters all over the country, and too many people have died.

If putting up couplets and hanging lanterns isn't quite appropriate, why not build a snowman at the door instead!

That way we can wait and see when we eat later.
