Border Cook

Chapter 510 Stubborn Donkey
Anyway, he followed his heart, there is nothing to be ashamed of!
"Why should I laugh at you?" Zhao Dahu scratched the back of his head. "I am in the same situation as you. I just stayed at home two days longer than you, but there is no difference in essence. To use Aunt Xia's words, what is it called..."

"Yes, it's unnecessary to laugh at the pot calling the kettle black. If I laugh at you, I am laughing at myself, right?"

That's right!

Seeing that his elder brother was so insightful, Zhao Erhu smiled and nodded vigorously.

But Zhao Dahu continued, "But I still need to laugh at you."

"Why is this?" Zhao Erhu was stunned.

Didn’t we agree not to make fun of him?
"I was so anxious to come back and cook that day, and you saw it so clearly, but you didn't think twice and even wanted to try it yourself. Isn't that stupid?"

Zhao Dahu rolled his eyes at Zhao Erhu as he spoke, "You just don't believe in evil, why are you so stubborn?"

Zhao Erhu, "..."

If you don't experience these things personally, how can you know the true taste of them?
But what Zhao Dahu said was right about one thing.

He really didn't believe it and just wanted to see if he would have the same reaction as Zhao Dahu.

Now it seems……

He admitted that he was a stubborn ass.

However, even if he is a stubborn donkey, he is a very good-looking, well-behaved, obedient, sensible and filial donkey.

Zhao Erhu didn't continue arguing with Zhao Dahu about this matter, but simply picked up the big iron spoon and started working.

Zhao Dahu chuckled when he saw this.

As expected, Zhao Erhu, like him, also truly loves cooking. Doesn’t this make things interesting?

After all, what could be more interesting in this world than two brothers sharing the same ideals?

What do you think?
The production of the amulet is still ongoing.

Because the amulets that Xia Mingyue and Lu sent to the City God Temple were so well-made, the temple keeper was surprised and delighted, and kept expressing his gratitude to the two and other people who helped.

"Thank you for your hard work." The temple keeper was full of gratitude. "I will definitely place these amulets in front of the City God for worship. When they are full of blessings, I will give them to other people who come to pray for amulets."

"If the City God knew about this, he would definitely be grateful and would bring more blessings to the ladies, and bless them with safety and success in everything."

"These are a few peace plaques I carved earlier. I have been offering them to the City God. I would like to ask Madam Xia and Madam Lu to give them to the other ladies. This is also a small token of my appreciation."

The temple keeper was generous, so Xia Mingyue and Lu did not refuse and accepted the gift after expressing their gratitude.

The peace amulet is made of wood and is carved by the temple keeper himself. It is not very exquisite, but it is full of sincerity and blessings, and is a very auspicious item.

After receiving more materials for making amulets from the temple keeper, Xia Mingyue and Lu returned home and continued to make amulets whenever they had the chance.

The peace amulets were also distributed to those who helped make the amulets.

This naturally includes Fan Jinglan.

Fan Jinglan happily accepted it and placed it next to her pillow that night, wanting it to accompany her to sleep every day. Ying'er saw this and joked, "If the Queen Mother knew that the white jade ruyi she rewarded you with didn't have such a blessing, I'm afraid she would be jealous."

You know, it is not easy to get a reward, let alone a reward from the Queen Mother, not to mention that it is made of high-quality mutton-fat white jade.

There are not many such good things in the entire palace. Even granddaughters are not entitled to such an honor.

The Queen Mother originally wanted to give it to Fan Jinglan as a pillow, but she left such a good thing in the storeroom to gather dust, and instead treated this ordinary wood plaque as a treasure...

Ying'er really couldn't imagine how embarrassed and lost the Queen Mother's expression would be if she knew about this.

"They are different." Fan Jinglan said, "The jade ruyi given by the Queen Mother is the love and pity of the elders for the younger generation, but this wooden plaque is the blessing given by others to thank me for what I did. The nature is different."

"However, if we talk about personal experience, I prefer the latter. The rewards given by the Queen Mother always feel like they come for no reason, and the sense of accomplishment is not that strong."

Ying'er: "..."

Those who are favored are always fearless!
But if you think about it carefully, Ying'er also feels that what her mistress said is correct.

A sense of accomplishment is something magical and hard to obtain. It makes people feel comfortable and enjoyable.

It was as if she had helped to make a peace amulet and received a peace plaque from the City God Temple, and she felt equally happy in her heart.

This should be what the lady said, a full sense of accomplishment!
Ying'er nodded involuntarily.

Seeing that he agreed with what she said, Fan Jinglan just asked him to take out the cloth he had received from Xia Mingyue and continue making the amulet.

"Miss, if you want to make a lucky charm, it won't be too late to make it tomorrow."

Ying'er was a little worried that Fan Jinglan was tired.

After all, Fan Jinglan has been staying at Xia Mingyue's house every day these days, either helping to make amulets or doing some physical work in Xia's central kitchen.

The high intensity of work has caused the fat that Fan Jinglan had gained in the past period of time to disappear.

"It's still early. It won't be too late to go to bed after a while." Fan Jinglan said, "Ordinary people are still awake at this time. How can I be more valuable than them?"

"Besides, I also want to make more amulets, so that I can bring them back to my mother, father, elder brother, second brother, the queen mother, the queen, the emperor and others when I return."

One for each person, impartial.

So if you calculate carefully, the number is quite large, so you need to hold on tightly.

After hearing this, Ying'er stopped refutation.

After all, this was her young lady's filial piety, so she couldn't get too involved. She just helped thread the needle and did some menial work.

Fan Jinglan's actions here soon reached the ears of Mrs. He.

After listening to the report from her subordinates, Madam He smiled with her eyes curved. "No wonder even the Queen Mother favors this little girl. She is indeed lovable. Unlike many daughters of wealthy families, who appear to be well-educated but are actually arrogant and have more thoughts in their minds than the lotus roots in a pond."

"This Madam Fan is indeed good. She is straightforward, not arrogant, and very easy to get along with." Mother Gui replied with a smile, but she also frowned slightly. "But I am a little confused. Why do so many people outside say that Madam Fan is arrogant and unreasonable, and likes to bully others the most?"

"What this person says is most biased towards himself, so it's naturally unfair."
