Chapter 28 Delicious Meat-Filled Pancake 2

The guard looked at the young man leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and felt sweat dripping down his forehead. Good heavens! He just wanted to sneak a bite of a pancake, and the master caught him red-handed? And to make matters worse, his complaints were overheard.

Thinking of this, the shadow guard Xiao Hei's face showed a somewhat constipated expression: "This subordinate greets Your Majesty!"

Looking at Xiao Hei's expression, which looked like his wife had died, Gu Zhongtai asked lazily, "What are you holding in your hand?"

The little black hand twitched slightly, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, it's food that I bought."

"Give it to me."

Xiao Hei Xin felt a slight ache and reluctantly took out the still-warm pancake and handed it to Gu Zhongtai.

The latter took the meat-filled sesame cakes from the two men, a hint of disdain on his face: "This? Ha!"

Sensing the disdain in his lord's tone, Xiao Hei felt tears welling up in his eyes. He thought it was delicious! That young lady was truly skilled at cooking! But now, he probably wouldn't have that chance anymore.

"Did you deliver the things that girl made to Xiahou yesterday?"

Mentioning this, Xiao Hei perked up and immediately replied, "They delivered it! Xiahou ate a few pieces at first, but after hearing me say it was pig offal, his face instantly turned extremely ugly, almost as black as the bottom of the pot! Later, the chieftain finished his and took a bowl of braised pork offal, praising how delicious it was! Hahahaha! You didn't see Xiahou's face! He almost turned blue in the end! Hahahaha!"

"Oh? Is that so? Very well. There are still a few days before the plan. Since that chieftain likes to eat, let him eat more these few days. Remember to make him eat in front of Xiahou!"

"yes!"

"Also, don't let me see you neglecting your post again."

These words carried a chilling undertone; Gu Zhongtai's usual languid demeanor was gone, replaced by an icy coldness. Xiao Hei shuddered, suddenly remembering that just a few months ago, this man had been a ruthless killer. His hair stood on end, and he immediately knelt and bowed, saying:

"Yes! Your subordinate will obey Your Majesty's command."

A leaf blew by, and when Xiao Hei looked up again, Gu Zhongtai was nowhere to be seen.

"Ugh, back to work, boohoo, my pancakes."

On a rooftop not far away, Gu Zhongtai looked at the dejected Xiao Hei in the alley, glanced at the two pancakes in his hand, and scoffed, "Are they really that delicious?"

The bright green bamboo leaves only wrapped two-thirds of the pancake, leaving the top part exposed, perhaps to make it easier to eat. Fan Xiaoxiao added an extra spoonful of red broth, which perfectly covered all the meat, making it look somewhat like something that could be sold.

As if possessed, Gu Chongtai took the cake closer and smelled it. There was no fishy or pungent smell as he expected, only a rich aroma of meat. Gu Chongtai frowned; surprisingly, he didn't feel nauseous.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zhongtai picked up the meat pie and took a bite. The first thing he tasted was the crispy bread, and as he bit down, the gravy and meat juices rolled out from where he bit.

The first taste was the aroma of meat combined with the chewiness of the bread. After a couple of bites, there was a hint of spiciness. Gu Zhongtai raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "It's edible, I didn't expect that short girl to have some skills."
