Leng Moran lost his patience, hit her on the head with the book in his hand, and repeated: "Eat more and talk less."
Xiao Xixi looked slightly disappointed and sighed: "No more bets."
Then he turned his disappointment into appetite and quickly ate the pastry in his hand.
At noon, the group stopped to rest on the road and have lunch.
Xiao Xixi rubbed her swollen belly and doubted life.
I accidentally ate too much and burped!
Leng Moran glanced at her with disgust, and then got out of the carriage.
Xiao Xixi also followed. After all, she was feeling a little depressed and uncomfortable after wandering on the carriage all morning.
The guards who followed them took out dry biscuits and butchers and started to eat them.
Xiao Xixi frowned when she saw it. It was okay to eat these two times at a time, but it would be uncomfortable to eat like this for a long time.
She asked the coachman who was sitting on the carriage shaft and eating pancakes: "Is this all you eat?"
When the coachman was questioned, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and almost choked. Xiao Xixi quickly handed him a water bag.
The coachman drank some water before he came over. He stood up and thanked Xiao Xixi profusely.
"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."
Xiao Xixi waved her hand and said, "No, no, no."
If she hadn't asked him suddenly, she wouldn't have frightened the driver.
The coachman said: "It's inconvenient on the way, I'll just wait for some dry food."
Xiao Xixi was sighing when she saw Feng Yan walking over carrying two shed pheasants.
Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up and she asked Feng Yan: "Do you want to cook?"
Feng Yan was also very puzzled. He thought something was wrong when his brother called him out just now, but unexpectedly, he handed him two treated pheasants without any explanation.
He wanted to ask what he meant, but before he could ask, the person disappeared.
Now when the princess asked him, Feng Yan just looked embarrassed and said: "I don't know how to cook."
Although Xiao Xixi was full, she didn't care about helping others cook: "Then give it to me and I'll do it."
She instantly felt tempted and asked Feng Yan: "How did the roasted pheasant taste last time?"
Feng Yan was obviously stunned for a moment before saying: "It's delicious!"
Xiao Xixi already understood that they were really two people.
She went to the carriage behind to take out the cooking utensils and prepare to cook.
Thinking of the prince's instructions, Feng Yan hurriedly said: "Princess, you can't light a fire."
"Then how to cook?"
Feng Yan shook his head and looked helplessly at Leng Moran, who had returned.
When Xiao Xixi saw Feng Yan's reaction, she knew it was Leng Moran's order.
Can't light a fire...
She asked: "Is it okay as long as I don't let you see the fire?"
Before Feng Yan could answer, Leng Moran walked over and said, "You can light the fire. You can cook."
After saying that, he got back into the carriage.
Xiao Xixi nodded, briefly marinated the pheasant with seasonings, and asked Feng Yan to help set up the fire.
Then pass the pheasant meat through branches and put it on the rack to roast.
The tangy aroma gradually spread out, and the attendants who were nibbling the pancakes suddenly became unsatisfied.
Xiao Xixi handed one of them to Feng Yan and asked him to take it to Leng Moran.
Then cut the other one open and give each servant a small piece.
Although it can't be a feast for everyone, it can still moisturize the mouth.
While grilling the meat, she also set up a pot, cooked a large pot of rice soup, and cut some meat into it to make a simple meat porridge.
A bowl of rice porridge was given to each person, and everyone was very satisfied with it.
Feng Yan asked curiously: "The princess is very skillful in cooking. She has cooked a lot before, right?"
Xiao Xixi quickly smiled and said: "No, I should just be gifted."
Then he quickly changed the topic: "When I have the next opportunity, I will make pheasant soup for everyone. Put the mushrooms in and stew together. The chicken soup will become milky white and overflowing with fragrance. A sip is worth it."
Everyone who listened could not help but drool.
Climbing onto the carriage, Leng Moran had already finished a whole pheasant and rice porridge.
Xiao Xixi asked in shock: "Your Majesty, have you finished eating everything?"
Leng Mo Ran sighed softly as he recalled the smell of roasted pheasant.
Xiao Xixi pursed her lips in disappointment, not even leaving a mouthful for her!
Fortunately, she has been busy all afternoon and hasn’t had a bite yet!
Hearing her voice, Leng Moran was also a little embarrassed.
He thought Xiao Xixi had already eaten.
Moreover, didn’t she eat pastries along the way?
I heard Xiao Xixi continue to mutter: "Although I have eaten a lot of pastries, they can't be considered a meal. I still feel empty."
Leng Moran looked at her a little apologetically: "I'll take you to a restaurant to eat in the evening."
Xiao Xixi regained her energy instantly, but after thinking about it it was still a deserted wilderness with no one around, so she hurried on her way.
The carriage wandered all afternoon and finally arrived at a small county town before dark.
The group settled in an inn in the county town.
There are not many inns in the county, but this one is considered a relatively good one.
As for restaurants, I have visited several nearby restaurants, but they are not as good as the food cooked in inns.
Xiao Xixi looked at the cooking skills of the inn chef in the lobby and couldn't help but shake her head.
She took out the money and handed it to the shopkeeper: "My husband is very picky about food. Can you give us the kitchen for our use? We promise not to damage anything."
While away from home, the two pretended to be a young couple returning to their hometown to visit relatives.
The shopkeeper didn't want to agree at first, but when he saw the silver ingot, he immediately nodded and agreed: "You can use it as you like, madam. Just give me whatever you need!"
Xiao Xixi rolled up her sleeves and followed the shopkeeper to the kitchen.
Leng Moran motioned for Feng Yan to follow him.
Xiao Xixi asked the shopkeeper to prepare some fresh vegetables and meat, and asked the inn's cook to help.
Feng Yan stood aside and helped pass a pot, spoon and shovel from time to time.
She made a special trip to make a larger amount of stir-fried vegetables, made chicken soup, and asked the waiter to go out and buy some freshly steamed steamed buns.
A group of people sat in the lobby and ate.
The tender and delicious chicken soup entered their stomachs, and everyone couldn't help but give Xiao Xixi a thumbs up.
Leng Moran thought about finishing the roasted pheasant at noon, so he silently filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to her, saying, "Thank you, madam."
Xiao Xixi looked at her with a smile, her eyes were smart and charming, "Thank you, husband~"
They look like a loving couple.
After dinner, everyone went to their rooms to rest.
Since they were husband and wife, Xiao Xixi and Leng Moran lived in the same room, but she still told the shopkeeper as an excuse that her husband was afraid of the cold and needed an extra quilt. Thinking that these guests were generous, the shopkeeper generously asked the waiter to help again.
I brought a quilt over.
Xiao Xixi made a bed on the ground and was just about to lie down and give it a try when her collar was pulled up again.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Leng Moran pressed her on the bed and said with a cold face: "You have worked hard today, you sleep on the bed."
Xiao Xixi glanced at the floor, then at Leng Moran, hesitated for a moment and then said: "I think this bed is quite big, how about sharing the bed?"
It's not that she has any bad thoughts about Leng Moran, but she is afraid that if he sleeps on the floor and becomes uncomfortable, he will cause trouble for her again tomorrow.
Leng Moran saw what she was thinking and nodded expressionlessly.
