Chapter 58: Astounding Flavors
Returning back to the mansion early, Jia Hao saw it was merely, 6 PM. So he said that he would be gaming all night and wouldn’t be having dinner.
Sun Yunqi and Su Lan obviously pouted as they said Jia Hao shouldn’t push his body like that. However, Su Xing’er said that his body was more than enough to handle it.
” Twelve hours in Tianshu Nation means Sixty Hours in Yunlan Continent. Not bad, I have already purchased some jade pieces, a few knives, a bottle of soy sauce and hot sauce, a mobile phone, that talisman, and a bottle of charming pills…”
Jia Hao mumbled as he threw all these things inside the Pot of Miracles.
‘ Oh, I also completely translated the Hundred Army Battle Formations. However, I should cross check my translation with my dear wife.’
Going to sleep, Jia Hao cleared his head as he slolwy drifted to sleep.
With his eyes slowly opening, he found himself on the bed in his room inside the Cai Family Mansion. Looking outside the window, Jia Hao realized that it was already evening here.
Taking off his clothes, he started to change into ancient world’s attire. However, as he was almost naked, the door opened, and Cai Yixue and Minmin walked inside.
” Minmin, Have alerted all our people across Nanhai City?”
” Yes, Young Lady, and the response is positive. I am sure tomorrow will pass smooth-”
Before Minmin could finish her sentence, her gaze fell on the figure standing in the bedroom, with his body gently glistening with lamp light.
” What happened?”
Cai Yixue paused as she followed Minmin’s vision, only to see Jia Hao changing clothes.
Jia Hao was also surprised as he looked gawking at Cai Yixue and Minmin.
” Umm…Good evening?”
” Yo-You!”
Cai Yixue flushed as she turned around. ” When did you return? Why didn’t you inform me?”
Seeing Minmin wasn’t turning around, Cai Yixue held her and turned her around.
” I…I just came back right now.”
” Hurry up and done your clothes!”
” Alright!”
Jia Hao didn’t want to irk Cai Yixue. Therefore, he hurriedly changed his attire.
” Heavens, Are you a ghost?” Cai Yixue finally turned around and looked at Jia Hao with annoyance and surprise.
She even doubled the manpower around the house. Yet she got no sound when Jia Hao entered this room.
” He also got a monstrous body…” Minmin glanced at Jia Hao’s lower half, mumbling softly.
” Wh-What are you talking about?” Cai Yixue blushed as she slapped the head of Minmin, making her yelp.
” Ahem, My wife, I just came back from a faraway place. Won’t let me rest?” Jia Hao spoke with a smiling face.
” Is that so?”
Cai Yixue was skeptical. However, she nodded and turned around. ” Follow me, It’s dinner time anyway.”
” Are we having dinner with the whole family?”
” Yes.”
Jia Hao became interested. However, when he thought about the bland food here, his happiness dimmed down.
‘ Wait, I brought some hot sauce and soy sauce with me, no? I can at least season the food.’ Jia Hao thought inwardly as he nodded.
” It would be my pleasure, Wife.”
Cai Yixue’s ears turned red as she hurriedly walked. ” Then follow me. And…Don’t call me wife.”
” Then what should I call you wife? Darling? Honey?” Jia Hao grinned.
” I… No, Not those.”
Cai Yixue nibbled her lips as she shut her mouth, realizing she couldn’t win against Jia Hao.
” Then, I shall keep calling you wife.”
” Hahh…”
As they reached the opulent dining hall, Cai Yunhai and Li Rou were already sitting, with servants putting one after another steaming dishes.
” Oh? Little Jia is also joining us for dinner?” Li Rou raised her brows as she looked at Jia Hao beside Cai Yixue.
” Hoho, I wondered where did you go. My men couldn’t find you in the entire city at all.” Cai Yunhai’s eyes narrowed.
” Well, Doesn’t that mean my capabilities are pretty good, Father in law?” Jia Hao smiled as he took his seat.
” So, What do we have for dinner?”
” Lamb Chop, soup dumplings and fried fish with rice noodles. There are some other side dishes too.” Li Rou smiled.
” Errm… The lamb chop looks a bit…Bland though?” Jia Hao mumbled as he looked at it.
” Hah? How can you say that? Although our family chef isn’t as good as the Hongxin Tower, he is also an expert in culinary.” Cai Yixue pursed her lips as she looked at Jia Hao.
” Well? Good thing I have bought some new things with me this time.” Jia Hao grinned as he suddenly pulled out two bottles. One was shining with red while another one was inky black.
” What are those?”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Jia Hao as they looked at the two bottles in his hand.
[ Special Hot Ketchup: Juicy tomato pury mixed with fiery red chilly. The spice meets with tanginess, making one salivate just after a lick. Warning: Might be addictive for spice lovers]
[ Special Soy Sauce: Enchanted by cosmic energy and flavors are much enhanced. It can increase the taste of dish with a small amount]
When Jia Hao poured the sauces on the plate, everyone became intrigued. Cai Yunhai’s nose twitched as he nodded. ” Mhm…This smells…fragrant and spicy.”
” Father in law, dip the meat chop in it and eat it.”
” If you say so…”
The moment Cai Yunhai ate it, his expression became stunned as his eyes became wide. Li Rou was also curious as she also dipped her bite in red sauce and ate it.
” Oh god! This…This is so..Spicy!” Li Rou coughed as she chewed the meat. ” But it’s…Good!”
” Hahaha! Ooof! It’s spicy, Yes!” Cai Yunhai laughed loudly as he dipped another bite thoroughly and ate it.
” But I like it! I missed such spiciness. It tastes so good! I can’t stop eating.”
” And this…This feels like..Soy paste?” Cai Yixue was surprised as she tasted the soy sauce. ” No, It’s much smoother and rich in taste. The soy paste also has flavor…but it’s on another realm.”
” This is soy sauce, something made from soy paste’s fermentation. This is much better than the raw paste you are eating.” Jia Hao smiled.
” So, Father in Law, Now…How the lamb chop is tasting?”
” Heavenly!”
” Hehe, Then how about we sell it?” Jia Hao put forth his idea.
” Huh? What do you mean?” Li Rou asked in surprise. But she grasped the situation and exclaimed. ” Ah, Are you talking about using these sauces in our bun shop?”
” Mother in Law is truly wise as her beauty.” Jia Hao smiled.
” Aw, what a silver tongue.” Li Rou chuckled. ” Hmm, But your plan does have some potential.”
” Well, You don’t need to hurry, Mother in Law.” Jia Hao also sprinkled some sauces in the noodle before taking a bite. ” We can make plans for it slowly. For now, please enjoy the dinner.”
” Haha, Good! What a good son in law.” Cai Yunhai laughed loudly as he looked at him. ” But…I think we should drink something while eating, no?”
” Oh, Father in Law wants to drink?” Jia Hao took out the bottle of maotai and poured some of it into a small glass. ” Here you go.”
” This…This…Urgh!”
Cai Yunhai’s face turned red as he took a small sip. It was the strongest liquor Jia Hao had, and now Cai Yunhai experiencing it.
” Haha… Fuck! It’s…Burning! Hahaha!”
Cai Yunhai laughed as he looked at Jia Hao. ” Damned rascal! You hid such a good thing from me!?”
” Well, Special things are reserved for special moments, Father in Law.” Jia Hao grinned.
” Anyway, Let’s talk about something important.” Li Rou glared at Cai Yunhai as she opened her mouth.
” About the selection of the Nanhai City’s district magistrate.”
