That's a long time. You've been on a road for eight or nine years. You can still walk on it even if you close your eyes, right?
Several people became even more happy and became more enthusiastic about Mr. You.
Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly when he saw it, then sat by the fire and listened to them without interrupting.
Daji and other guards had already skinned the rabbits, chopped three of them and put them in a basin. At this time, he was setting up a pot on another fire. He took a spoonful of oil from the jar and put it down. He threw down the sliced ginger and poured it in.
Rabbit meat in a basin.
The fragrance slowly overflowed, and a guard from the Bai family brought a jar and said, "Put some sauce in."
This is the sauce prepared by the Zhou family. They used it twice during the process. After putting it in, it basically tastes delicious without adding salt.
Since we have already cooked, we might as well cook more. Since they knew they were going to cook, Manbao and the others just picked a lot of edible wild vegetables nearby before the sun set. The taste may not be too good, but they can boil water in a pot.
If you boil it and then stir-fry it, it won't be so bitter.
This method was kindly provided by Mr. Zhou, but the guards did not dare to let her do it. Although she talked about cooking, who knew whether she could really do it?
Ahem, you are an adult after all, how can you let an adult take action?
As for another girl in the team, after eating the dish she cooked for the first time, everyone tacitly excluded Zhou Liru from cooking.
It's really strange. She seems to be very skilled at washing, cutting, and stir-frying vegetables. The amount of oil and salt she puts in looks similar to theirs, but the food she makes just... lacks a bit of flavor.
After discovering that Zhou Liru's cooking was not as good as those of them, they subconsciously stopped letting them do it.
At this time they were working in full swing.
Bai Shan got up and ran to the ingredients area. He also dug out a rabbit that had just been marinated on a skewer. He came back with it and hung it on the shelf by the fire, "We roast the rabbit."
Mr. Zhuang is not a big fan of roasted rabbit and prefers fried rabbit, and so is Man Bao, so he eats delicious fried rabbit meat first.
Mr. You, who was also stuffed with a bowl, hesitated for a moment before eating. He stuffed a mouthful of white rice into his mouth and couldn't help chewing it. He couldn't help but sigh, "My lord, you are really well prepared."
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Mr. You said: "It is not easy to eat rice after passing Xiazhou, let alone when we are camping on the grassland..."
He has encountered such white rice in the past seven or eight years. He has encountered many caravans. The Shi family caravan with the most money and the aristocratic family caravan with the strictest discipline have never seen a bowl of white rice on the grassland.
Man Bao held the bowl with a puzzled look on his face, "If you don't want to eat, what will you eat?"
Mr. You smiled and said, "Eat noodles."
He glanced at the guards and soldiers who were squatting beside the other three fires and starting to eat, and said with a smile: "Maybe I brought dry food."
Behind him, his steward and the men were sharing the dry food. They only had hot water on the pots and ate dry food with the hot water. As long as they camped, they would eat dry food all the way from Taiyuan to Shazhou.
It will be like this.
People like this group of people were cooking rice in pots and cooking soup... He could count the number of times he had seen them.
Even if there are cooks, most of them don't know how to cook white rice. They mostly heat up a few pancakes or make a bowl of noodle soup...
Mr. You expressed his views tactfully.
Bai Shan asked, "Will I be robbed?"
Mr. You glanced at the soldiers not far behind them and said, "...It's not that serious. Your Excellency is on official business. The horse thieves on the road should deliberately avoid you."
Man Bao felt relieved when he heard that he wouldn't be robbed. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "The noodle soup is also quite delicious."
Bai Shan said: "Then we will have noodle soup tomorrow. We knead the noodles at noon and put them away. We can slice them directly when we get down in the evening."
Man Bao thought this was a good idea, so he turned to Mr. Zhuang and two pedestrians, "Sir, Wei Xingren, do you want to eat noodle soup?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded with a smile, and the two pedestrians agreed that it was okay.
She turned to look at Yin You.
Yin You has no objection either.
So the matter was settled.
Bai Erlang waited for a while and then asked, "Why don't you ask us?"
Liu Huan: "That's right."
"You will want to eat." Man Bao thinks that their stomachs are so good that they can eat anything as long as it tastes good.
Zhou Liru said: "We happened to collect a lot of eggs when we left Xiazhou, so we can make egg soup to make noodles."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly. Except for egg water, she liked to eat eggs in all other forms.
After talking about what to eat tomorrow, Man Bao turned to ask Master You enthusiastically, "Master You, are there any interesting places along the way to the sandbank from now on?"
Mr. You didn't know why the topic suddenly jumped here. He paused and his eyes passed over Bai Shan and the others.
In fact, he had already noticed them when they rode up on horseback, especially Bai Shan. The setting sun was just right at that time, shining on his face. He turned around and smiled, which was so bright, but when he put away his smile, there was something about him
His dignity is no less than that of Mr. Yin.
Not only him, but Miss Zhou next to him also has a good temperament and appearance. When she smiles, she is as bright as the moon, but she is also very approachable. But when she is not smiling, she looks dignified when she looks at people.
That Mr. Zhuang is more prestigious.
The other two young men and a young lady are also good in appearance and temperament, and they don't look like incompetent people after talking with each other. However, how can those who are willing to come here to study here be playboys?
?
Mr. You thought about it and guessed that the status of these young ladies was probably not low. Mr. Zhuang said that he was going to the Western Regions for a business trip and would take a few students on a study tour. I am afraid that the study tour is the main thing and the business trip is secondary.
.
Mr. You didn't know that he had accidentally guessed the truth. Because he guessed that their status was high, even though they were young and asked all kinds of questions, he patiently answered them.
For example, what tribes might they encounter if they go on, and whether they might encounter villages, towns, and cities...
Where are the delicious food and fun places, are there any famous horse thieves along the way, have any rangers ever challenged horse thieves, etc...
Several people even asked if they had seen the legend that there was a miracle at the foot of Helan Mountain and that a fairy fell on Helan Mountain...
Mr. You thought, if he had seen a fairy, would he still be a businessman now?
Several people chatted excitedly around the fire for an hour and a half. After dinner, they also ate two roast rabbits. Finally, the night wind turned cold and frost seemed to be falling. Then everyone parted, washed up and returned.
Go to sleep in the tent.
After eating, Yin You put on a cloak and a hat. After entering the tent, he took it off and gave it to Changshou.
Liu Huan was speechless, "You are so well prepared."
Yin You said: "My eldest sister prepared it. Man Bao said that I can't be blown by the cold wind, nor can I sweat due to heat, and I can't be hit by frost at night and in the morning, so my eldest sister asked someone to make it with fine linen and fine cotton.
I bought this cloak so that I can wear it to keep out the wind and frost when it’s neither too cold nor too hot.”
