"It's a pity there's nothing to go with the wine," Yin Jianren said, stretching his neck and looking around as if searching for some snacks.
"These are all good accompaniments, but your barrel of wine has left us with nothing. Isn't that a bit beneath your status as a young master of the General's residence?" Mo Wen pointed to the various ingredients laid out around them.
"This isn't just any wine; it's my father's private stash..." As he mentioned the barrel, Yin Jianren lowered his voice, seemingly afraid someone might overhear. He glanced at the raw meat and herbs scattered about, then at the pot steaming before them. "How can these go with wine? Are we supposed to eat them raw or drink the soup?"
"Here, take these. Just follow my lead later," Mo Wen said, handing Yin Jianren a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
"Big Dog Head truly lives up to his name! These seemingly ordinary ingredients, once cooked in this pot, taste better than delicacies..." Yin Jianren said, patting his round belly and burping.
"These were all brought by Brother Erniu. I only contributed some raw meat and herbs. Oh! And you, Young Master Yin, you did the most work here. Just make sure your father doesn't notice anything missing from the herb garden..." Yin Jianren had not only stolen his father's wine but was now running low on ingredients for cooking. He had even pressured Mo Wen into providing more meat while he dashed off to his family's herb garden to 'harvest' suitable vegetables.
"Uh... right! If my father finds out... Brother He, Big Dog Head, have you already thought of how to absolve me of my guilt?" Upon hearing Mo Wen's words, Yin Jianren panicked. Despite being over a hundred years old, he still feared his father the most. However, seeing Big Dog Head He sitting there calmly made him realize that since Mo Wen had said so, he must have a plan.
"Alright then, considering that fine wine and those fresh ingredients, if your father gets angry, just say this..." Mo Wen began to fulfill his duties as the Doghead Strategist.
"Will that really work?" Yin Jianren asked uncertainly; after all, he would be the one facing the consequences.
"Don't worry! I guarantee you'll be fine. There's nothing a hot pot can't solve; if there is, then just have two hot pots," Mo Wen assured him with a pat on his chest. Only then did Yin Jianren reluctantly leave, glancing back three steps as if parting from a loved one before finally being shooed out by Mo Wen.
"Brother, I can't thank you enough! Revitalizing the Li Family is a mission passed down through generations of village leaders. Now that we can reach Yinzhou City directly, the revival of the Li Family is just around the corner," Li Erniu said solemnly after Yin Jianren left; this was indeed why he had come to see Mo Wen today.
"As brothers, there's no need for such formalities. Besides, whether this trip to Yinzhou City will be good or bad for our village remains uncertain," Mo Wen replied. He had considered this issue beforehand and only made arrangements after confirming that the Jin Family had the strength to win this battle. Moreover, he believed that the Jin Family would not settle for just Yinzhou in the future; this presented an opportunity for Kao Shu Village. Of course, there were risks involved as well. However, everyone has their own fate, and he couldn't guarantee perfection. What mattered most was his belief that with the wisdom of the Li Family, they could navigate these challenges.
Everyone was preparing for battle in an orderly fashion while Mo Wen appeared somewhat relaxed. However, he did not waste this remaining time; he set his sights on the Jin Family Library and dove into it, thoroughly exploring its collection of books. With Big Dog Head's title and Ying Qian's special instructions, it had become much easier for Mo Wen to access certain places.
