Luo Jin’an raised his brows. “Food from my hometown?”
The word “hometown” warmed his heart. Indeed, he felt homesick just thinking about Su Binglan and his home in Su Teng Village. In addition, the couple grew closer after revealing their true identities.
A sense of peace, security, and warmth surged through their hearts.
“Yeah, it’s the food you like eating in Su Teng Village,” Su Binglan said. Luo Jin’an looked at her amusingly. ‘You know what I like to eat?”
Su Binglan nodded and winked. Then she smiled and said, “Of course I do. Although you never told me, I could observe. Whenever I cook something, I’ll know it’s to your liking the more you eat.”
She was attentive to Luo Jin’an. It was through her observations that she understood his tastes.
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an did not know much about each other’s food preferences when they were Lan Ruobing and Wei Jin’an. That was because Wei Jin’an had spent most of his time at the border.
He would only meet with Lan Ruobing for a meal when he occasionally returned. Then he stayed with her for a while when they were seven or eight. They were young and did not think much about it then.
The relationship between the deceased royal’s mansion and General Wei’s family was perfect, and they protected each other. In addition, Wei Jin’an’s mother and Bing Suwan had an excellent and close relationship.
Su Binglan felt warm now that she had recalled some of Lan Ruobings memories. Although Lan Ruobing knew little about Wei Jin’an’s food preferences, Su Binglan better understood them.
Luo Jin’an was touched. “l see.”
‘She’s always so busy and has a hard time, yet she still notices these details.’
He added, “I’ll tell you everything you want to know. You don’t have to go through the trouble of observing.”
Su Binglan shook her head. “It’s not hard because…”
She deliberately kept him in suspense this time. Luo Jin’an echoed gently,
“Because?”
“Because I want to be good to you.”
These words struck the deepest part of Luo Jin’an like a hammer, causing his suppressed emotions to surge, He grabbed Su Binglan’s wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Su Binglan obediently leaned into his embrace and raised her head to look at him. Luo Jin’an lowered his gaze and lightly kissed Su Binglan’s forehead. “l want to be good to you, too, silly girl.”
Luo Jin’an desperately wanted to get well. Then he could do much more for her. His heart was once full of hatred, but Su Binglan had taken it away.
su Binglan laugned ligntly, ner voice as clear as a silver bell. sne wanted to hug her husband for a while since it was rare for him to take the initiative. Luo Jin’an even told her so much from the bottom of his heart.
“I’m going to cook. You’ll starve if you don’t eat soon. I’ll make you some herbal cuisine. Your subordinates can’t cook such a thing, so wait for me, and I’ll finish soon.” Su Binglan quickly washed up and prepared to cook.
She noticed Wei Cheng and Wei Ying were busy when she entered the courtyard. Lin Zheng was also there, chopping firewood. Meanwhile, Blue Two and Blue Three stood on the sidelines, guarding the house. Lin Zheng saw Su Binglan and happily said, “Master, when did you wake up?” Wei Cheng was anxious to check Luo Jin’an’s condition.
Su Binglan said to Lin Zheng, “Not too long ago. Did you guys sleep well?” “Yes, we’re all good,” Lin Zheng replied.
The conditions in that small village were simple and crude. Of course, it could not compare to the ones in Su Teng Village. However, Luo Jin’an had already done his best to settle everyone down. Hence, Wei Cheng could not cause more trouble for his master.
He said respectfully, “Madam, how is Master doing?”
“There’s nothing wrong with his body. He just needs time to recuperate.” Su Binglan had prepared herself to nurse her husband’s body, then force the cold poison to a breaking point and seal it.
That way, she could completely cure Luo Jin’an of the cold poison when she found the needed herb. When that time came, the cold poison would not react so violently, even if Luo Jin’an occasionally used force.
“Yes, Madam.” Wei Cheng anxiously went in.
Immediately after, Su Binglan went to the kitchen to cook. Although they called it a kitchen, it was much more straightforward than that. There was just a stove.
“Master,” Lin Zheng said, “I’ve chopped some firewood for you.”
“Thank you. We can start the fire.”
Since Blue Two and Blue Three were Shadow Guards, they had grown accustomed to following orders. They did whatever Su Binglan asked them to.
Lin Zheng noticed nothing much was in the kitchen and said, “Master, are we heading out to buy some provisions?”
He realized there was not much rice remaining in the har. He did not know if these people had enough to eat. Of course, Su Binglan did not starve them, even though they were hurrying to complete their journey. Moreover, they ate delicious food.
Although Lin Zheng did not know how his master got the food, he felt she had a magical ability. Still, they needed ingredients to cook with.
‘Master always carried a bag. Although it didn’t look big, she seemed to be able always take things from it. She took so many things from that bag, but there was no way it could fit that many items.’
Su Binglan said, “There’s no need. I just took some ingredients from the back room.”
She did not reveal she had a pocket dimension and only said she had taken the ingredients from a room Luo Jin’an pointed her to.
However, Luo Jin’an knew she had a pocket dimension.
‘Did Jin’an see me summoning rain on the roof during the drought in Su Teng Village? Did he already guess my true identity at that time? He never mentioned it when we spoke just now.’
Lin Zheng always believed his master’s words and was excited to eat his master’s cooking again. He knew it would be delicious and looked forward to it. He was sitting on a bench and preparing to start the fire, his eyes shining brightly.
He would also look at his master’s busy figure occasionally. However, he was not looking at Su Binglan directly but at what she held.
Su Binglan gently combed her hair back and began cooking. She discreetly removed pork ribs, a winter melon, and tofu from her pocket dimension. She planned to make soup with tofu, winter melon, and pork ribs.
The dish was beneficial to digestion and could nourish Luo Jin’an’s body. Since he was still recovering, he could not eat anything with a strong taste or non-beneficial to digestion. Therefore, Su Binglan decided to make soup.
Her pocket dimension also resembled somewhat of a refrigerator, and the things inside would not spoil no matter how long she stored them there.
Lin Zheng was shocked when he saw his master taking pork ribs. He wondered if his grandmaster had prepared those.
‘This place looks more remote than Su Teng Village, so I never expected to see something like pork ribs here.’
“Master, are you making pork rib rice?” Lin Zheng was curious.
“No, I’m making soup.”
‘Soup?’ Lin Zheng thought of egg drop soup with wild vegetables. It was a simple soup that did not have much in it besides water, seasoning, eggs, and vegetables.
‘Can anyone make soup with pork ribs?’
