Chapter 1449: Chapter 1446: Lamb Skewers
Today, fresh mutton was delivered from the manor. Ye Muyu planned to make kebabs and mutton stew.
When Chun Xing came over to tell her, Ye Muyu asked, “Do you know if Miss Huo is here?”
“The master went to see Miss Huo and asked the servant girl to come and inform you, my lady,” Chun Xing said to Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu nodded to show she understood and didn’t say much more.
She focused all her attention on making the kebabs.
The head chef in the kitchen was in charge of cutting the mutton; the bones had long been stripped of meat and placed in the pot to boil.
Additionally, the lamb chops by the side had already been cut and marinated.
Ye Muyu slowly skewered the mutton pieces with bamboo sticks.
The servants in the kitchen helped nearby, wearing gloves made from sheep intestines on their hands.
Speaking of which, the sheep intestine gloves were made with great care; it was Ye Muyu who suggested Lu Sangqi make them. He primarily used them for surgeries, but Ye Muyu used them as cooking gloves.
Ye Muyu felt that using gloves to make food was more sanitary.
She made quite a lot of mutton kebabs, enough for a feast.
Besides roasted lamb chops and mutton kebabs, Ye Muyu also prepared some pork belly skewers. At this moment, she was particularly craving lettuce.
However, the pork at this time was authentic black pig pork, very tender and soft. When sliced thinly, it was not too greasy.
But to avoid feeling heavy.
Ye Muyu also added a few side dishes: Taishan Tofu, Longyan Golden Ball, and a winter melon mushroom soup to cleanse the palate.
Naturally, the best match for mutton was white radish.
Since she was simmering white radish in the pot, Ye Muyu didn’t prepare any radish dishes.
After the mutton kebabs were done skewering.
The meat had already been marinated, so she could start grilling right away. However, it wouldn’t taste good if it got cold, so Ye Muyu planned to grill and eat it in the living room later.
“Let’s get everything ready first.” Ye Muyu removed her gloves and turned to leave the kitchen.
The servants in the kitchen did not dare to delay even a bit.
Just as Ye Muyu returned to the backyard, about to change her clothes, she bumped into Chu Heng coming in from outside the courtyard. She stopped and looked at him curiously, asking, “Have you already met with Miss Huo?”
“Yes,” Chu Heng replied in his usual calm manner, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
But after spending so much time with him, Ye Muyu had come to recognize his facial expressions. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, so small it was almost imperceptible.
“Is it good news?” Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow.
Chu Heng responded with another “yes,” walked past her, and with an arm around her waist, led her into the room.
Ye Muyu extended her delicate, fair hand to push him away, “Hey, I reek of grease and smoke. Let me change clothes first.”
“You don’t smell at all. Besides, even if you did, I wouldn’t mind,” Chu Heng replied.
Ye Muyu couldn’t help but poke his chest, “Since when did you become so sweet-talking? If the court officials, who get infuriated by you, saw this, they’d be even more annoyed.”
“Turns out Lord Chu can speak pleasantly after all; he just chooses not to,” Ye Muyu said, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Chu Heng smiled warmly.
“I’m speaking the truth,” he said in a calm tone, his eyes carrying a faint smile.
Ye Muyu felt great, leaning in to kiss him on the cheek, “Consider that your reward.”
Chu Heng paused for a moment, then touched his cheek as he followed behind her, “Is there more reward?”
“No, that was it,” Ye Muyu bent over to fetch clean clothes from the wardrobe.
Chu Heng glanced at them, frowning, “Why are these old?”
