Chapter 202 Lamb Skewers

Lin Yuesha soaked in the pool for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, the two old women handed her a small box of bath beans and said, "Our city lord doesn't like strange smells. Please wash your hair."

After saying that, the two men crossed their arms and looked down at each other, supervising.

"Tsk tsk, the women of Daqi are all like immature roosters. Look how flat she is, flatter than our cattle pasture."

One of them glanced at Lin Yuesha's figure and whispered to the other old woman.

"That's right. I heard that the Prince of Zhenbei even likes young, weak chickens, just for their tenderness."

Among the barbarians, thin women are unwanted; a tall and slender figure is considered beautiful. As for being immature, it's just a sign that the woman hasn't fully developed.

Lin Yuesha took a deep breath. This wasn't the first time she'd been hit hard, and she was gradually calming down.

She used the prescription given by the pockmarked woman and it worked well, but it was only for a short time, so there were no particularly obvious effects yet.

Lin Yuesha doesn't care about personal attacks; she has now changed her target.

Before the Lantern Festival, her goal was to grow into a great beauty, buy courtyards and open shops in the prefectural city and the town, and lead her family out of poverty and into a well-off life. But now, all of that has been crossed out, replaced by just two words: to live.

Survival was her biggest goal.

After washing up, the old nanny presented her with new clothes, which were clearly not from the Great Qi Dynasty and had an exotic flair.

"Alright, take her to the city lord's room."

After discussing it, the two old women pushed the person inside.

Lin Yuesha stumbled and almost knelt on the ground. Fortunately, there was a soft carpet on the ground, and she managed to steady herself by bracing herself with her hands.

"The little girl is here?"

Yuwen Kun swirled his wine glass and glanced at Lin Yuesha with surprise.

"Lord City Lord, you want me to stay by your side?"

Lin Yuesha was unsure. From the conversation with the old nanny, she judged that Blue Eyes might have some misogyny. The danger level of staying by her side had risen to the top. She had to find a way to get away from her and also demonstrate her usefulness.

"come over."

Yuwen Kun beckoned Lin Yuesha closer with his finger, as if teasing a kitten.

He gave his subordinate a signal, and the other man immediately understood and poured a glass of wine.

Before she even got close, Lin Yuesha could smell the pungent odor of alcohol. She quickly adjusted her expression to avoid being targeted by Blue Eyes.

"This is the strongest liquor from Sishui City. You must drink it all in one gulp. If you spit out a mouthful, I, the city lord, will immediately have you dragged out and fed to the dogs."

Yuwen Kun smiled, but his words, spoken slowly and deliberately, were filled with chilling intent.

"Depend on!"

Lin Yuesha has already cursed Blue Eyes' ancestors for eighteen generations, and now she's traced it back to the twenty-fourth generation. It's perverted, so perverted!

"Shao Dao Zi" (a type of strong liquor), you can tell from the name that it's not going to taste good. It might even make your stomach feel like it's on fire.

However, the person in front of her just wanted to tease her and have fun, even worse than the Prince of Zhenbei.

How could someone in such a high position have such a perverse sense of humor!

Lin Yuesha thought of how she once longed to marry a nobleman, but now she had no desire to climb the social ladder.

If she could escape, she wanted to go to Yutan Temple to talk to the old monk about life and see if she could change her fate.

A prisoner should maintain the decorum of a prisoner. Lin Yuesha gritted her teeth, took the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

She had to drink quickly, otherwise her throat would be filled with the taste of cheap liquor, and she worried she would vomit on the spot.

After a glass of wine, and a brief period of numbness, Lin Yuesha's stomach felt like it was on fire, so painful it felt like it was about to explode.

You should never drink alcohol on an empty stomach, otherwise you are very likely to get drunk and die.

"that……"

After finishing her drink, Lin Yuesha discussed with Lan Yanzhu, "I haven't eaten yet."

Eating some food and having something in your stomach should alleviate the burning sensation considerably.

Yuwen Kun looked at Lin Yuesha with great interest. Was this little girl getting too big for her britches and becoming increasingly audacious? Her thin neck looked like it could be snapped by him at any moment, yet she dared to negotiate with him.

That's interesting.

"Please help yourself to these dishes and drinks."

Yuwen Kun swirled his wine glass and said casually.

Lin Yuesha didn't know whether this unpredictable and perverted man was sincere or not. She picked up her chopsticks and launched an attack on a plate of roasted whole lamb.

In no time, the plate of meat was completely devoured.

"The cooking time was a bit off, and the dipping sauce wasn't very good either."

After finishing her meal, Lin Yuesha offered a brief critique.

This caught Yuwen Kun's attention. These dishes were all made by the chef he brought from Sishui City, yet a shameless woman from Daqi found fault with them.

"Lord of the city, I can make barbecue and many other dishes."

Taking this opportunity, Lin Yuesha volunteered that she could work as a cook.

Finding suitable work and staying away from the dangerous city lord will make her much safer than she is now.

Blue Eyes' temperament was unpredictable; he would often feed people to dogs. Lin Yuesha didn't want to stay by his side in constant fear.

"really?"

Yuwen Kun scrutinized Lin Yuesha repeatedly. He couldn't get used to the food in Daqi, so no matter how well it was prepared, it was useless to him.

"I can cook beef, lamb, venison, and all kinds of roasted meat!"

Lin Yuesha only wanted to show herself.

"Someone, take this little girl to the main kitchen."

Yuwen Kun waved his hand, telling Lin Yuesha to leave. If she didn't do a good job, he would have her chopped up and fed to the dogs.

Stepping out of the room, Lin Yuesha breathed in the fresh air and finally relaxed a little.

It was already pitch black, and the surroundings were deserted. This was not the city, Lin Yuesha guessed, it must be in the countryside.

Lin Yuesha went to the main kitchen and found that there were almost no vegetables, but all kinds of meat were fresh.

"Little girl, what do you plan to do for our city lord?"

The old nanny who accompanied her didn't believe Lin Yuesha had the skill. The city lord was picky about taste, and if he noticed anything amiss with the flavor, the chefs would be punished immediately.

On another occasion, simply because the mutton had been left out for two extra hours, the city lord fed the person responsible for transporting the mutton to the dogs.

"Does your city lord keep a lot of dogs?"

Lin Yuesha trembled and asked shakily.

"Not many, maybe a dozen or so?"

Although there aren't many of them, those vicious dogs have a huge appetite. They don't eat people on a regular basis, but they do eat beef and mutton, and sometimes they even have to kill live chickens.

So the statement about killing people and feeding them to dogs is not just a scare tactic, it's true!

Lin Yuesha wiped her sweat. She needed to find the small package she had taken and carried with her. The package was still there before she washed up.

It contained the key to her survival: cumin and chili powder.

"You have quite a few demands."

The old woman didn't know what it was either, and was about to throw it away when she hurriedly had someone bring it over.

With the seasonings, Lin Yuesha planned to make lamb skewers, three pieces of lean meat and a piece of lamb fat, skewered together like this.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the other seasonings, and there is also a dedicated charcoal supply.

Lin Yuesha set up the barbecue grill and skillfully grilled the meat with both hands.

It takes at least fifteen minutes to walk from the main kitchen to the lord's room, and even with insulation, the meat cannot be kept warm enough to roast.
