Wu Pen's work is perfect, perfect son-in-law, episode 36, this is for your own good.

  ……

  The sake has arrived.

  "Bring me a bowl," Ao Wu said to the housekeeper.

  The housekeeper hastily brought out a stack of bowls, Ao Wu took over the wooden bucket filled with wine, and poured some into each bowl, distributing them to everyone for a taste.

  Jing Yong's most urgent concern was that he hastily took the bowl and poured it into his mouth, only to be choked, coughing out tears.

  Others saw Cheng Yaojin's precursor and drank a small mouthful, but also ended up being choked.

  The degree of this wine is higher than all wines in this era, and it's hard to adapt when drinking for the first time.

  As for adaptability, Cheng Yaojin is still the best.

  He wiped away his tears and smacked his lips twice, savoring the taste: "This is really good wine!"

  He poured himself another half bowl and drank it, this time without coughing, and actually brought out the flavor.

  Bang!

  At this time, one person fell to the ground.

  The donkey-faced steward still held a wine bowl in his hand, with a blood-red face and a silly smile, sticking out his tongue to lick the wine drops at the corner of his mouth, and then fell asleep.

  Cheng Er De laughed and said, "Donkey-faced housekeeper."

  It seems that the housekeeper of the Cheng family is still one step ahead.

  After drinking, everyone went their separate ways to attend to their own matters. Zhong Qing wanted to go and find out what was being said at the county yamen, Cheng Yaojin took the two elders to look at the house and then move in, while Xu Sanmao, half-drunk, wanted to join in on the fun.

  Kaoru stays here to steam wine and prepare lunch.

  Cheng Erde was left behind and followed Ao Wu to learn how to steam wine, which became his path to wealth later on.

  "Brother-in-law, our daughter has given orders. You take charge and we'll do the cooking!" The head cook said with difficulty.

  The gentleman's words are too exaggerated.

  "Afterwards, Ao Wu didn't want to cook anymore either, as long as someone else was willing to make food for him."

  "Come on over, I'll only do it once, and then you can all do it yourselves." Ao Wu started to work, "This is braised pig's trotters in a clay pot."

  Put the pig's feet into a pot of water, bring to a boil over high heat, pour out the water, add new water, put in scallions and garlic, then wrap the seasonings in cheesecloth and simmer slowly.

  The auntie in the kitchen behind watched and followed with other pots, while someone else focused on recording Ao Wu's steps.

  The braised pork belly with pickled mustard greens will take some time. Meanwhile, Ao Wu busied himself with other dishes: "This is the sautéed eggplant."

  The same dish, done in Awu's hands.

  Yesterday's fried chicken and stir-fried pork liver, which Awu used to make, are now being made by the kitchen aunt.

  He had five or six sample dishes made and then left the kitchen, leaving the other chefs to handle it themselves.

  Cheng Erde outside has already prepared two and a half buckets of wine. "Remember, the head and tail of the wine cannot be drunk, they can be poured together into the steamer for distillation next time."

  "Ah!" Cheng Erde hastily replied.

  This Second Master is really capable, he can come up with such a magical method, the wine can be steamed to become so fragrant and delicious. I used to dare to mock Second Master for being book-smart but useless, now I've blinded my own dog's eyes!

  "Second Master, look at this wine, it's good enough to be sold, and these delicious dishes, if we open a restaurant with them, wouldn't we make all the money?"

  Cheng Erde felt that this was the happiest day of his life, steaming wine here, smelling the full courtyard of wine fragrance, and the kitchen also had all kinds of delicious dishes floating out, with a feeling of drinking fine wine and eating delicacies like an immortal.

  Such a delicious dish, if taken to open a hotel restaurant, wouldn't it be easy to make money?

  And Arlong ate such delicious food here, and couldn't eat it at home, how could he get used to it?

  If he could persuade Second Master to hand over these dishes to the Cheng family as well, it would be a win-win situation, making money and letting Ah Lang eat delicious food. Of course, he also hoped that Ah Lang would unexpectedly reward him with a bite, allowing him to taste the beauty of human flavor.

  "Have you learned how to brew wine? You've learned it, right? Then can you cook? If you can, go in and take a look, learn as much as you can. If you can't, when you get back, just ask a kitchen auntie to come with you." Ao Wu waved his hand, "I'm going to rest now, make sure to watch the wine."

  "Eh, Second Master is resting well!" Cheng Erde was delighted and hurriedly sent him out.

  Now everyone in the Zhong family has gone out, Ao Wu didn't cultivate last night, now is a good time, go and make up for it immediately.

  Back at the East Wing, he closed the gate and jumped onto a large stone in the pool. With his hand on the stone, Ao Wu immediately felt that something was different inside the stone.

  His hand fit perfectly on the palm print, which was left by Tu Zui's bluff.

  A burst of spiritual energy appeared in his hand, and as he pressed down, a piece of stone floated up.

  Unexpectedly, there's an organ!

  Underneath the stone slab were three sheepskins, densely covered with writing.

  It seems like a kung fu move.

  What about the will left by that bald donkey, Ao Wu? The will mentioned "clothes and basin", could it be referring to these three sheepskins?

  And the handprint on this stone is the clue.

  Your sister thinks everyone is Conan, playing detective games!

  Now the time for cultivation is limited, this laborious method doesn't enter Wugong's eyes at all. He stuffed it into his sleeve pocket and sat on a stone to practice the air training technique. The familiar feeling of spiritual energy entering his body came back again.

  The vital energy in the body makes a small cycle of rotation, and can only feel that the meridians are washed by the vital energy to be more solid, the vital energy inside the body is increasing, but there will not be immediate progress.

  In this case, Ao Wu had long been prepared and only needed to take it one step at a time, accumulating until he reached a certain level before making another breakthrough.

  He didn't know how long he had been cultivating, because someone would come to find him at any time, so he only left three points of his mind on cultivation. Now hearing the footsteps outside, he hurriedly withdrew his power and jumped into the room.

  As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I heard the gate being knocked on.

  "Master, your wife is back, and dinner and wine are ready in the kitchen." The voice of the housekeeper.

  Kao Wu patted his mouth and yawned, "I'm here."

  This time he didn't need to go to the kitchen, just wait in the hall for the servants to bring up the dishes.

  Cheng Yaojin and the Second Old returned with joy, but the Second Old felt embarrassed about this big house. However, Cheng Yaojin had an expression that said "if you refuse, it's like considering me an enemy", so the Second Old had no choice but to accept. From their facial expressions, it could be seen that they were extremely satisfied.

  The dishes at noon were much richer than last night's, each table had a casserole with a pig's trotter, a plate of braised lion head, sugar and vinegar ribs, stir-fried pork liver, blood sausage, waist flower... Under the red lion head, there was green vegetables. It just happened to be the season for vegetables, so the dishes were all visually appealing.

  Zhong Qing, a vegetarian, saw so many greasy dishes and didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, her appetite was stimulated.

  A glass of clear liquor placed on the table is even more a temptation for everyone to put down their reserve and indulge in eating and drinking, the last straw.

  Every time they ate a dish, they couldn't help but exclaim "good", and when they were full, they would take another sip of spicy wine, it was truly like being an immortal.

  In the end, all the dishes were finished and everyone couldn't help but rub their bellies which had grown a lot, almost to the point of bursting.

  Zhong Qing covered her mouth in embarrassment and let out a satisfied belch, this was still the first time she had eaten so full.

  Cheng Yaojin is also going back, Ao Wu let the kitchen pack the fried sesame balls, oil cakes and chicken pieces into the car to bring back to Cheng's mother, as a token of goodwill.

  As for the wine, there's no need to mention it, the method has been handed over to Cheng Erde. On Cheng Yaogin's horseback, four jars were also tied up. After being digested by him on the way, some of them returned to see Mother Cheng. It is said that Mother Cheng likes to drink wine.

  "Brother, remember to stock up on food and let the servants exercise well." Ao Wu instructed.

  In a chaotic world, having food can keep oneself from starving and having subordinates with martial arts skills can resist violent mobs.

  Cheng Yaojin nodded and made a fist in understanding.

  He then gently patted the horse's belly and returned with Xu Sanmao.

  The two old men were also sent back to Sanlitun by Ao Wu, and the new home already had two servants sent by Zhang Liangshang. Zhong Qing also sent two over. The courtyard wasn't small, so it didn't need two old people to take care of it. If they wanted to farm, they could go farm; if they wanted to do something else, they could do that too.

  Zhong Qing got drunk and felt dizzy after drinking wine, so she went upstairs to sleep.

  Kao Wu held up his wine and sneered: "It seems that wine can be used as disinfectant, haha..."

  In the afternoon, Liu's family used a door plank to carry San Dan over.

  Kao Wu held up a bottle of liquor and said, "This will prevent your wound from swelling. It's going to sting a bit, but it's for your own good so that you won't lose your leg down there, just bear with it."

  In order to carry on the family line, San Dan nodded very manly.

  "Ah......" Soon, a wail echoed through the room.

  People who don't know think it's killing pigs.

  Kao Wu, for the sake of San Dan's well-being, did not faint and instead used acupuncture on his nerve points, so he was fully conscious throughout the entire process.

  "You're fine, you can still have children for the Liu family in the future!" Ao Wu comforted.

  The three members of the Liu family were overwhelmed with gratitude.

  On the second day, Liu's family brought news that the traveling general who had been troubling Ao Wu and Cheng Yuanwai had left.

  Qiao Wu thought to himself that since the Zhong family had not agreed, Yan Wu Xing's matter was finished and he could only return.

  On the third day, Zhong Shenyi's family letter arrived, with two letters inside. One was for Zhong Qing and Ao Wu, and the other was to be forwarded to the Xiao family.

  The letter says that Zhong Qing did the right thing, and since the other party has bullied her to her doorstep, she cannot back down. Whatever happens, she has him and the Xiao family supporting her from behind.

  That letter to the Xiao family was him informing them of this matter as the master of the Zhong family, so that if the Yan family made any moves, the Xiao family could also take action.

  What to do next will be arranged by Zhong Qing, while Ao Wu stays at home reading medical books and classics of sages, secretly cultivating.

  After practicing for three or four days in a row, Ao Wu felt that he was still far from breaking through the second layer of foundation building.

  At this rate of cultivation, it may take another month to break through the second layer of foundation building.

  Licheng County came a fast horse, bringing another letter from Zhong Shenyi.

  "Zhang Jun Cheng's condition worsened, he fell into a coma, will his son-in-law come and take a look?"

  Looking at this letter, Ao Wu smiled bitterly.

  This son-in-law thinks he's a desperately needed doctor!

  Got it, go for a trip.

  Zhong Qing looked at Ao Wu with a strange expression. The highest medical position in the Zhong family seemed to have quietly shifted onto Ao Wu's body.

  ……
