Chapter 207 What a coincidence!
In front of Lin Anyuan was a small pot, which was bubbling away, with a few vegetable leaves and potatoes inside.
Lin Anyuan added the dried noodles.
"My wife brought me noodles. When it's really inconvenient on the road, I can cook them in the carriage and have a quick bite."
These noodles are all dried noodles; as long as they don't get damp, they won't spoil.
The vegetable leaves were wild vegetables he picked along the way, and he also added beef jerky to them.
"You call this just getting by?" King Jing's eyes widened.
This dish contains both vegetables and meat.
What was that dry, unleavened flatbread that Prince Jing was just eating called?
Is it pig feed?
Prince Jing plopped down opposite Lin Anyuan.
Looking at this small and exquisite stove and pot, it's so convenient to take it out.
You can light a fire anytime and have a hot meal, and you can even cook it in the carriage.
King Jing's eyes gleamed.
Lin Anyuan suddenly felt something was wrong. What kind of look was that from Prince Jing?
Then Prince Jing suddenly spoke up, "Lin Anyuan, I'm old enough to be your father, aren't I? Shouldn't you show me some filial piety?"
Lin Anyuan: ...
Can he say he doesn't want to?
“Speak frankly, my lord.”
King Jing didn't stand on ceremony, saying, "Give me two bowls of this noodle dish."
Lin Anyuan: ...
There were only two bowls in this pot. You ate both, so what am I supposed to eat?
"Fine, just give me the stove and pot, I'll take them over and cook them right away, so the noodles don't get soggy and not taste good."
After saying that, King Jing grabbed the stove and ran off, as excited as a young boy.
"Yiyi, look what delicious food I made!"
Lin Anyuan, holding chopsticks: ...
The delicious aroma wafted all the way, attracting everyone's attention.
"Your Highness, come in quickly, don't let anyone hear us."
A slender hand lifted the curtain.
Lin Anyuan, who was standing not far away with chopsticks in his hand, felt a void in his heart.
He had previously suspected that this woman was his mother.
Now it seems that's not the case; his mother wasn't that lively, and her voice wasn't that clear.
And that hand that was just revealed—slender, delicate fingers, white and long.
His mother's hands were rough from years of hard work, calluses that never faded.
Lin Anyuan turned around and went back. What a coincidence!
Inside the tent, Prince Jing scooped a bowl of noodles from the small pot and gave it to Lin Suying, then ate the rest himself, holding the pot in his hand.
"That kid Lin Anyuan, he's had such good food all the way here! There's even beef in this!" Prince Jing took a bite, his eyes shining.
This is really delicious.
If I had known this kid was hiding something so good, Yiyi could have eaten it earlier.
"You really are a prince, capable of doing something like stealing food from your subordinates." Lin Suyi glanced at Prince Jing helplessly.
"Eat quickly, or the noodles will clump together. This tastes really good." King Jing ate with great relish.
This beef is really chewy.
“It is indeed delicious. You should return the pot and stove.” Lin Suyi also ate, and then urged Prince Jing.
This is her son's pot, and it looks like it was prepared by her daughter. Now that it's all been brought back, what will her son eat?
King Jing was reluctant to return the pot, but with this small pot, it would be convenient to cook things for Yi Yi later.
Lin Suying chuckled, "Even if you left the pot, could you cook it this delicious?"
Of course, King Jing couldn't; he couldn't cook.
"Then why not return it? Maybe we can have it again in the future."
Upon hearing her say this, King Jing's eyes lit up. "That's right, it's better to just eat what's readily available."
Then they called someone to return the pot.
Looking at the pot, which was completely empty of soup, Lin Anyuan: ...
Fine, then I'll just eat some dry rations.
"Yiyi, let me apply some cream for you."
Inside the tent, King Jing took the porcelain bottle out of his robes.
"Okay." Lin Suyi stretched out her hands.
Prince Jing took out a piece of ointment and applied it to her hand, carefully rubbing it in. The white, moist ointment made her hand look even whiter and more delicate.
Suddenly someone outside reported this.
"Your Highness, we've arrested a man who escaped from Jizhou City! He claims to be a follower of the third young master of the Pei family!"
...
...
As the weather warms up, the greenery is becoming more and more apparent.
Ye Wan then had a lot of sandy land around the area cleared out. The workers were paid ten coins a day, and quite a few people came.
These lands yielded no harvests and were eventually abandoned.
Because of Ye Wan, the number of women in Shangdi gradually increased. Ye Wan said that any woman who could work would be taken.
This thrilled the women, because some of them were quite strong, and some could even do more work than the men.
Ten coins is quite a lot, and I'm just idling around anyway.
Now that it's break time, a bunch of people started gossiping.
"Have you heard? That Hu San was poisoned to death."
"Poisoned to death? Who poisoned him?"
"Who else could it be? His wife poisoned him. I heard that Hu San often beat his wife and had been to jail before. When they found out, the woman was insane and couldn't even speak clearly."
"My God, this woman is so cruel."
"If you ask me, it's the man in that family who's the problem. He must have been in a fit of anger. Otherwise, why would he poison someone out of nowhere?"
Ye Wan also overheard these rumors, and of course, the poison wasn't administered by Hui Gu.
Hui Gu merely stirred things up.
Jiang Lian'er was quite decisive in poisoning Sanya. Now that she's in prison, she'll be undergoing rehabilitation after her release, so she won't have time to bother Sanya anymore.
Of course, there's no need to tell Sanya these things.
"Madam Ye, this is a grasshopper I made. Take a look."
Yu'er smiled brightly and held up a grasshopper, offering it to Ye Wan.
"You're quite skillful with your hands," Ye Wan complimented.
"It's for you." Fish said, her ears turning red.
Seeing Ye Wan looking at him, his face also began to heat up. "What I mean is that you can take it back for the children to play with."
Fortunately, his skin is quite dark, so his blushing wasn't very noticeable.
Ye Wan refused, "No need, my eldest and second daughters don't like this, but my third daughter can make it herself."
The fish was still very attentive to her, as if it liked her a little?
Yu'er put away the grasshopper and suddenly mustered up her courage to speak, "Madam Ye, are you still hiring? My mother owes a lot of money for medicine a few years ago, and I want to find another job to pay off the debt as soon as possible."
The burly man asked with a sincere expression.
Ye Wan said, "We have enough people at home for now. I'll let you know if we need more people later."
"Thank you, Madam Ye."
Even though he hadn't agreed, the person was still smiling broadly.
Seeing that it was almost time for the day, Ye Wan took the carriage and went back.
The fish's eyes followed her carriage.
Suddenly someone behind her spoke up, "Fish, why are you always hanging around that woman? Is she difficult to get along with, always bossing you around?"
"If that's the case, you can tell my dad and have him assign you a new job."
