Chapter 101: Brother is the most annoying thing (more~)
The chef was envious.
[Oops, stop scooping, or it will be gone]
Hearing the chef's anxious voice, she made 8 bowls and stopped. There was not much tofu and sauce left, so she made two more bowls at most.
Sent the chef.
"Master, please clean up these pots."
The chef said excitedly: "Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of these small things."
Her tofu pudding would not be bad even if it was made in the 22nd century, not to mention that there is no such chewy and tender tofu now.
8 bowls are not enough to share.
Xie Yanyan almost couldn't get a bowl of soup himself. Zhou Shaoyu, Xu Wenrong and Xie Anfeng each grabbed a bowl. The prince didn't grab any, but did he dare not give him a bowl in person?
The prince felt sorry for Liu Qi, his companion, and gave him a bowl of wine. When Zhou Jin saw Liu Qi taking the bowl, he immediately took action. Not only did he take action, he also quickly ate it.
Well, there is only one bowl left, so the brothers Dongliu, Dongshisan and Dongshiliu can only draw lots.
When the tofu pudding was served, I couldn’t wait to take a sip. It was salty, fresh and smooth, and melted in my mouth.
The tofu with potato starch is chewy.
Paired with pan-fried buns, this breakfast was delicious and exciting for everyone. One bowl was not enough, but they had to give up.
After eating and drinking, we set off.
After walking two kilometers, Xie Yanyan immediately moved the arrogant male pigeon to his own space. He couldn't leave it behind, as Prince Zhou and Young Master Xu had been busy all night!
The prince was anxious, so he rushed through two counties in one breath.
It was almost dark when we arrived at Shanyang County. This place was close to the longest and largest mountain range, which formed a barrier to the west. Carriages and horses could not cross the mountains.
If you want to ride a horse or take a carriage, you have to go along the mountains and either go north to Hanguan or go west to Yaoguan.
It takes 15 days to go there by car or horse.
It may only take 7 or 8 days to cross the mountain.
It was absolutely impossible for everyone to ask the prince to climb the mountains, especially the mountains here, which were the largest mountains in the entire continent.
"The locust plague in the northwest cannot be delayed."
The prince was anxious, and his gentle face rarely showed any sign of calm. He wanted to walk over the mountains and hills.
Every day he received news of locust plagues from the imperial city and the northwest. The plague had become so serious that it not only ate up all the crops and plants along the way, but even killed young children.
Liu Qi and others were horrified and strongly opposed it.
The prince ignored other people's opinions and walked up to Xie Yanyan, still with a gentle smile: "Miss Xie, can you handle it? If not, we can continue along the foot of the mountain."
"Can your highness bear it?"
"I am a man, I will be fine."
"Then let's cross the mountain." Xie Yanyan was not yet of marriageable age and was not afraid of being tired at all. Even if she was tired, she could recover immediately after a good sleep.
When the prince heard Xie Yanyan say this, he knew that her problem was not serious and was immediately moved.
This young girl, who has not yet reached the age of marriage, has the world in her heart and is concerned about the country and the people.
She didn't care, so how could he fall behind!
The prince suggested not to go to the government offices anymore, but to simply rest at the next post station and not meet any officials.
Let the postmaster find a local guide who is familiar with the mountains, hand over the carriages and horses to the post station for safekeeping, carry the supplies, and cross the mountain on foot.
No one has any objection.
On that day, the prince ordered Dong Liu and others to block the news of their itinerary. Not only did they not inform the government offices along the way, they even stopped reporting to the emperor.
The carriage was stored at the Shanyang County Post Station, and the postmaster was asked to secretly find two guides and bring food and other supplies. The prince and his entourage went to the Moon Bay Town, which was chosen by the guide to go up the mountain, and found an inn to stay in first.
Everyone held a meeting and worked together to decide on matters to be dealt with before, during and after climbing the mountain, as well as the supplies to bring and things to pay attention to.
The next day, the postmaster bought all the supplies as agreed upon at the meeting, and everyone except Liu Qi set out.
While helping the prince put on the protective suit Xie Yanyan gave him, Liu Qi wiped her tears and said, "I have never left your Highness. Your Highness must take good care of yourself."
The prince said gently, "I am about to reach adulthood. I have practiced martial arts for many years, so don't worry. If ordinary people can climb these mountains, I can climb them too."
Because they had already discussed that the prince should be called Master Fu in public, when the guide came over, the prince called himself "I" and everyone also called him Master Fu.
It was three or four miles from the town to the foot of the mountain. The prince's guards and secret guards were separated into four or five groups to secretly protect the prince. There were only a dozen people serving the prince.
Before leaving, Xie Yanyan took out her two magical backpacks again.
Let Zhou Jin carry one and Xu Wenrong carry one.
"What's in it?" The two backpacks were filled to the brim and tied tightly with rattan lids. They didn't feel very heavy when the two of them carried them.
"Beef jerky, canned meat and so on." As for what's inside, it depends on what it will be used for.
Each of the prince's guards carried a large package.
The guide said there were springs in the mountains, so there was no need to carry too much water. Liu Qi was naturally worried. What if he got diarrhea after drinking the spring water? He still told Dong Liu to carry 10 water bags for the prince. It was so hot, the prince had to drink at least one bag of water a day.
When they arrived at the foot of the ridge, Xie Yanyan could see clearly why no one had bought the ridge as their own private territory when it was so large.
This mountain is a poor mountain, mostly covered with large rocks, and it is impossible to cultivate crops. There are many trees growing in the cracks of the rocks, but they are crooked and twisted, and the weeds are very lush.
The mountain road they were walking on was a road often taken by ordinary people to go to Lingxi. It had an eye on the road, but it was also covered with weeds.
Fortunately, due to the drought, there is no wet mud, so you won’t slip when walking.
The guide led the way, with Dong Shisan and Dong Shiliu leading the way with sickles, followed by Dong Liu and others accompanying the prince.
The prince called Xie Yanyan to join him. Next to Xie Yanyan were Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Anfeng, and behind him were Zhou Jin and Xu Wenrong.
The last to come were the prince's guards.
There were no steps, so the climbers had to rely on their leg strength to walk up the dirt slope that people walked on. The prince was able to talk to Xie Yanyan at first, but later he was out of breath and couldn't speak.
After climbing the first hillside, we arrived at a flat area. Through the gaps in the messy bushes and weeds, we could see the town of Moon Bay at the foot of the mountain.
Dong Liu asked the prince, "Do you want to rest for a while?"
The prince shook his head, "We have to walk a little further today. Our legs may ache tomorrow and we will be slower. Miss Xie, how are you?"
Xie Yanyan: "Sin... I'm fine."
"Miss Xie, call me brother."
"good."
Zhou Shaoyu kicked a small stone calmly, and the prince slipped, staggered and almost fell. Zhou Shaoyu quickly pulled Xie Yanyan away from the prince.
Xie Yanyan looked at him and gestured: The prince is too weak, if he slides down, he will knock you down!
His smile is brilliant, fresh and pure, like drizzling rain wetting clothes, like flowers falling to the ground, softening the soul and stunning the time.
Xie Yanyan remained calm and cooperated with him, staying three meters away from the prince.
