Chapter 240: Find a way to capture the hearts of children!
"Well... you guys are back just in time, as there's a banquet going on in the mansion tomorrow."
After finally finding an opportunity to talk, Ye Yin quickly took advantage of it.
"A banquet? What kind of banquet?"
"We are going to host a banquet for Prince Cheng of Nanrong and his entourage, who is also your father's uncle. They are here for mother's wedding, and we haven't invited them to our house for a small gathering yet!"
The four men blinked and looked at each other tacitly. They seemed to have seen each other from a distance at the wedding banquet, but they did not formally pay each other a visit at that time. Will they receive gifts again when they come to the mansion this time?
Erlang was the most impatient and couldn't help asking, "Oh! So we have another gift!"
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, then started to scold, "You guys! You're only thinking about the gifts!"
Yuwen Feifei was also happy!
"Don't worry, my little darlings. I will make sure they prepare the gifts! I won't let you down!"
They were already very familiar with Yuwen Feifei. Ever since she was no longer their mother's love rival, they liked her very much.
Hearing her say that, I was naturally excited.
"By the way, in the palace's beast garden, a liger just gave birth to four cubs. Would you like to be their masters?"
Ye Yin had already thought about it. Children probably wouldn't have much resistance to furry little animals! So he threw out this bait.
As a result, before the four men could react, Lin Yue was the first to be surprised!
"Liger? Is it a hybrid between a lion and a tiger?"
Seeing that Lin Yue was also quite interested, Ye Yin nodded and said, "Yes, the beastmaster in the Beast Taming Garden had a sudden idea and after experimenting, he produced several lion-tiger beasts! Exactly four..."
He spoke tactfully, but Lin Yue understood immediately. She knew a little about ligers. Those beastmasters must have put lions and tigers together to mate, hoping that the cubs would have the characteristics of lions and tigers. These animals were a hybrid breed, and their temperaments were more ferocious, but it would be difficult for them to survive!
Hybrids between different species are not only difficult to survive, but also have no reproductive ability!
"Mom, are ligers beasts that look like lions and tigers?"
The four men's curiosity was piqued. Lin Yue wanted to explain, but she gave the opportunity to Ye Yin. "I haven't seen it either. You'll have to ask your father!"
Ye Yin quickly caught the question she threw at him.
"Yes! They have the head of a lion and the body of a tiger, so they are called ligers."
"Are they powerful?"
"Of course! But they are still very small now and haven't grown up yet. They should be more powerful when they grow up, right?"
Ye Yin was unsure, after all, he was just guessing. The offspring of lions and tigers should be more powerful than they themselves, right?
"I did read in a book that offspring from different species can inherit the characteristics of both animals. They're definitely more ferocious than lions and tigers, but the chances of them surviving are slim."
After hearing this, the four men showed a trace of longing and sympathy on their faces, but they still did not forget to ask their parents' opinions.
"Daddy, Mommy, can we adopt them?"
Lin Yue glanced at Ye Yin and knew that he wanted to use this to win the children's favor, so she gave him the decision-making power.
"Of course, since Daddy said it, he can definitely do it, and you can each adopt one!"
"Wow! That's great! We can each have one! Wouldn't that be so cool!"
It's very cool just to imagine it, okay? That's a liger, and there are only four cubs in the Great Qi Dynasty.
Ye Yin also tried his best to please the children, and even thought about the Beastiality Garden!
However, Lin Yue knew that liger cubs were relatively fragile and required energy to raise. She also didn't know if the cubs could persist, so she gave a special reminder.
"Since your father has agreed to let you adopt them, mother also wants to tell you in advance that you need to be prepared. Liger cubs are fragile when they are young and may get sick easily. Caring for them may be more troublesome. Will you persevere?"
"no problem!"
"Mom, we will take good care of them!"
The four men made a solemn promise and soon surrounded Ye Yin, calling him "Daddy" one by one, hoping that he would take them to adopt a lion-tiger beast as soon as possible.
Ye Yin finally felt the joy of his sons surrounding him, so he promised them to send someone to ask the emperor for it immediately, and maybe it would be delivered soon.
The four men were looking forward to it. Seeing their expectant eyes, Ye Yin had an idea. "It's still early. How about Daddy take you for a horseback ride?"
"horse riding?"
The four men's eyes lit up, as they had wanted to learn horse riding for a long time.
"While you were away, your father had someone buy you some docile ponies so that you could learn how to ride them!"
Lin Yue helped him explain at the right time.
The four men excitedly climbed onto Ye Yin's body, and four small objects were suddenly hanging on his body.
"Daddy is so nice!"
"Daddy is awesome!"
Each of them gave Ye Yin a sweet kiss, almost making her dizzy! She took them to the horse farm in a daze.
“Haha…that’s hilarious!”
Yuwen Feifei couldn't help but complain, "So my cousin has this side to him. I'm really impressed! Look at his dazed look. I'm afraid this isn't the first time the kids have been so affectionate with him!"
After getting Lin Yue's confirmation, Yu Wen Feifei's true identity was revealed, and she laughed even louder!
"By the way, Feifei, what do your uncle Wang and the others like to eat? Why don't you help me decide on the menu for tomorrow's banquet?"
Speaking of this, Lin Yue took out a pen and paper, ready to list the menu with Yuwen Feifei.
This was the first time she had hosted a family dinner after her marriage, and the guests were all Ye Yin's relatives. Paying attention to it was one thing, but it was more important to make sure everyone could feel her intentions.
After some discussion between the two, Lin Yue drew up the menu.
Nanrong is located in the southwest of Daqi. According to Yuwen Feifei's description, their taste in food is heavier and they like spicy food.
In the menu drawn up by Lin Yue, she effortlessly wrote down "Maoxuewang, Twice-cooked Pork, Boiled Beef, Fish-flavored Shredded Pork, Braised Pork, Mapo Tofu, Chopped Pepper Fish Head, Stir-fried Preserved Meats, Kung Pao Chicken" ... and so on, a total of ten dishes, and a hot pot.
Most of these dishes were cooked and eaten at home, except for a few particularly spicy ones that Lin Yue had to make herself.
Just looking at the menu, Yu Wen Feifei was already drooling.
"These dishes look delicious! Sister Yue, can I eat now?"
When she was in the southwest, she had eaten a lot of meals from Lin Yue's small kitchen, but at that time she was treating acne on her face and her diet was very light. Now that she has no worries, she should be able to indulge her appetite, right?
"Yes, it's okay to eat it occasionally! Just don't eat it every meal. Even if you get a sore throat, just drink some heat-clearing tea in time."
Speaking of this, Lin Yue suddenly thought that she could prepare some beauty-enhancing scented tea in the new shop she would open in the future, which would surely win the favor of those young girls and women!
She quickly made a note of this matter. She could use the dried flowers in the space to make a batch of scented tea when she had time, but the quantity was limited. If she was in the southwest in the future, it would not be convenient to provide it.
The store can supply medicines with written ingredients and prepare them directly. If they become popular, more merchants will buy them, and ordinary people will have an additional source of income.
