“I’ll send some of my men to bring him over,” Duan Huai said. “I’ll say that my wife is sick and that he is needed here.’

Prince Yi shook his head. “You can’t send someone to invite him. It’s best if he doesn’t get discovered.”

“Doctor Shen’s only son, Shen Yuxuan, is a classmate and good friend of the Crown Prince. The two families often interact with each other. If you send someone to invite him over, news would travel. What if someone says something out of line? If the Crown Prince finds out that I’m here because of this, it won’t be good. Do you think my concerns are reasonable?”

It was reasonable…

Duan Huai frowned harder.

After the cumin plants that were uprooted from the ground were dried, they began to grind and shred these plants. Only the seeds were removed.

After planting ten acres of cumin, more cumin seeds were cultivated. However, the seeds had to be preserved better, so the shop did not need to grind so much cumin into powder for the time being. They only ground out a few bags of cumin powder first.

In the evening, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came back from practicing martial arts

in their old house. They washed their hands clean, then used bamboo skewers to marinate and cut the mutton. They wanted to roast the mutton skewers.

This was marinated by Hongyan and Hehua.

The bamboo skewers at home were made by Yifu. He was told to make a large number of bamboo skewers the other day. However, the rest would be placed in the charcoal grill shop to be barbecued. The family did not need many, and the ones made by Yifu were enough.

In the courtyard, a simple barbecue grill made by a blacksmith had been set up. Charcoal could be placed inside, and an iron net was placed on top. This iron net was made by a blacksmith. Then, the skewers could be placed on the iron net to be roasted.

Liu Guixia washed her hands and came over to help skewer. As she skewered, she said, “Will it really be more fragrant when roasted?”

Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could answer, Yu Hongyan, who was washing the vegetables by the well, smiled and said, “Mother, didn’t it happen the last time we tried it? Jiang Yue put cumin powder in the hot dishes, and it became more fragrant. When it’s placed in the cold dishes, it doesn’t become more fragrant. The temperature must be higher for it to be more fragrant.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Liu Guixia was happy. “When Sifu comes back, he will be overjoyed. Isn’t that barbecue shop almost prepared? If it can be more fragrant, it will attract more customers. However, it’s too hot to eat this during the summer. Business might not be that good.”

Yu Hongyan said, “Our rice noodle shop is next door. They sell ice. You can also sell ice in a barbecue shop. You can have barbecue while drinking iced sour plum soup or eat all kinds of cold food. You don’t have to worry about business.’

“Yes, yes, yes.” Liu Guixia agreed. “Oh, right. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, have you called Master Gu Jin and Miss Xiao Yin for the barbeque tonight?”

“Yes, they said they would come over later,” said Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.

“Perfect. The rest will be coming over later. We’ve already gone over and told them that our family is going to have a barbecue. They sounded excited.” Liu Guixia smiled. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw two of her daughter-in-laws come over with washed fruits. They placed them on the table in the courtyard. Shao Youyue was nowhere to be seen.

Li Hehua smiled and said, “She’s in my room again. She’s taking care of

Shoushou while helping me look after Xue Bai. Xue Shi is also in my room. Fufu also asked Fei Ju and Fei Zhu to look after him in my room. Otherwise, she might not be able to handle all of them. Even if Zicui and the others are there, there’s nothing they can do about him. Only Hongyan, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue can control him..”
