Chapter 031: The Dough is Soaked in Water
"Didn't we ask today why Xingbao and Yuebao like to join in the fun? What did they answer? Do you still think they were wrong?" Mo Beiyuan teased with a smile.
"I'm just afraid that you'll be assassinated! Then wouldn't my rescue be in vain?" Feng Aoqing rubbed his knees and stood up.
"Thank you for your concern. I know martial arts. If she comes openly, it won't be so easy." Mo Beiyuan couldn't hide the smile on his face.
A hint of doubt flashed across Si Chen's face.
"Si Chen greets the young lady." Seeing that her face had been revealed, Si Chen came over and bowed.
"Hello, Mr. Si." Feng Aoqing looked at him curiously.
Mo Beiyuan urged, "Chen, go ahead! No need to follow me. My injury is fine now."
"good."
When Feng Aoqing looked again, the person was gone.
It turned out that Si Chen knew that it would be difficult for him to travel on the road to Yanzhou and he was injured, so he followed him all the way.
The ground was full of ruins, so it was no wonder that Feng Aoqing fell. An Jinge wanted to help her, but saw Mo Beiyuan stretched out his hand, so she smiled and stepped back a few steps.
"From now on, if you really see someone trying to kill me, not only don't save them, but you have to run away. Got it?" Mo Beiyuan instructed.
"I know," Feng Aoqing answered cheerfully, "If Jin Ge hadn't been here, I wouldn't have come!"
"My martial arts skills are better than hers." Mo Beiyuan couldn't help but want to show off. Not only are they better than hers, but they are much better. However, in order to save face for An Jinge, he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"So powerful? Young Master An killed four gang leaders in a row!" Feng Aoqing didn't quite understand how they judged the level of martial arts.
"I..." He wanted to show off a little more, but then he became confused again.
Didn't she know that when she was young, she had seen him fighting with the sons of various royal families and scholars in the arena?
Later, she could also recount all her achievements on the battlefield.
"Then if something happens next time, you can hold the front line. I can run very fast and will definitely not hold you back." Feng Aoqing answered seriously.
"you!"
You are such a dog! Feng Aoqing!
No one waited for him, just jumped away heartlessly.
Which lady of noble birth walks like that?
Which lady of noble family smiles like that?
Which lady from a noble family would shout in such a hoarse voice?
Which lady from a noble family would roll up her sleeves and stir the porridge in the pot like that, revealing her graceful arms and figure?
When had she ever practiced martial arts? Her muscles and bones were completely different from her original ones.
Yes, as she said, it has been too long. I can’t even remember how long it has been since I last touched her. It seems like I haven’t touched her since she became pregnant with Xingbao and Yuebao.
More than four years.
As I thought about it, I felt guilty.
When I got back, Wei Ze was pacing in circles in the corridor, anxiously wondering why no one had come out yet.
Wei Ze was afraid of something happening, so he didn't trust the escorts and asked to keep watch himself. It was too dangerous for Yu Mobeiyuan in Yanzhou.
The rain stopped at night. Everyone had their fill, their clothes were dry, and they had roofs over their heads. They all slept soundly, and no one knew the three of them had been out.
When we returned to our sleeping place, we saw that there was only a small space left on the oilcloth. The two of us could lie down, but we had to lie right next to each other, which was a bit awkward.
Everyone was already lying in a mess, and when the two people left just now, everyone rolled over and moved around, and the place had changed.
Since they couldn't sit down, they could only lie down.
For some reason, Mo Beiyuan couldn't sleep, but he didn't dare to turn over for fear of disturbing Feng Aoqing.
He looked at Feng Aoqing from the side. She slept very well and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Maybe she was too tired. He remembered that the old doctor who treated her in the Yonglin Palace had been prescribing tranquilizers for her for many years. Now she was cured without any treatment.
This side of her ear… Oh my god! Is she so pain-free? She actually has three piercings. He'd seen two on the other side before.
The air in the room was filled with the faint scent of mugwort, but he could not sleep all night.
When she woke up in the morning, Feng Aoqing found herself curled up beside Mo Beiyuan, with his right hand gently holding her.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Mo Beiyuan's perfect jawline.
"Oh my God!" Mo Nanzhou roared, pulling her gaze away from Mo Beiyuan's jawline.
Mo Beiyuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Get up! You're still pretending to sleep." Feng Aoqing touched his arm.
Little guy, how can I not tell whether you are asleep or awake?
Mo Beiyuan stood up, and Feng Aoqing had already gone to check on Mo Nanzhou.
"What's wrong? Your face was bitten again!" Feng Aoqing asked as they walked.
Mo Nanzhou shook his head and pointed at the bamboo basket in front of him and said, "No, my face is fine! It's the things in your basket that are in trouble!"
Feng Aoqing walked over and saw that there was originally a basket of dry dough inside, but now most of it had been soaked in water.
The dry dough is originally dried out and does not look like much, but if you want to eat it, you can make a lot more after soaking it in water. In addition, noodles are filling, so they are essential food for long-distance travel.
The only downside is that it can't touch water.
Mo Beiyuan also came over to take a look at the situation and said, "You must have gotten caught in the rain yesterday."
"No." Mo Nanzhou and Feng Aoqing answered at the same time.
Before the two of them set out, they were afraid of heavy rain in the summer, so they wrapped it in oilcloth and put it in a bamboo basket.
Mo Beiyuan dug it up and found that most of the water in the oilcloth had not flowed away, which meant that it was very dense. Someone must have deliberately poured water into it, so the lower half had been soaked and softened, while the upper half was still dry.
"My sister-in-law asked me to check last night. She said that if there are any that are not dry, we should just take them out and soak them in water to eat, so as not to let other dry ones get moldy." Mo Nanzhou replied.
He did check it, and it was dry and there were no problems.
Mo Nanzhou was about to get angry and wanted to find the bailiff to investigate the matter, but Feng Aoqing held him back.
"It's been soaking for too long. It'll go bad if you keep it any longer. Let's eat it! I'll go and ask Mr. Jiang to let us have breakfast before we leave."
"If we keep eating like this, I don't know if we can make it to the next city!" Mo Nanzhou said hatefully.
Jiang Yi quickly agreed.
Feng Aoqing has already started arranging the work, including who will set up the pot, who will fetch water, and who will add firewood.
After giving these instructions, she went to the yard and soon came back with some wild vegetables.
Boil the dough until it is soft and fluffy, then take it out and let it cool. Each person should have a bowl.
Then go to Feng Aoqing to get a spoonful of sauce.
The sauce is made entirely of wild vegetables and animals. Wild garlic, wild ginger, wild chili leaves, and perilla provide spicy flavor, rain-fed lichen provides freshness, and purslane provides sourness.
There is not much oil, just a few drops in each bowl, but this is oil refined with wild peppercorns, and just a few drops can make you feel fragrant.
Even the bailiffs gave up the white flour buns and ate one bowl each.
"Now that we've reached a city, we should prepare some dough. We only knew how to prepare dry biscuits before, but we didn't know that this is delicious and easy to store. As long as it doesn't get wet in the rain, you can still eat it even if it's broken." Chen Hetong loves spicy food and likes this taste very much.
This meal only used Jiang Yi's salt, so he had no objection.
Feng Aoqing served a bowl of white noodles to each of the two Bao'er to eat, quietly put minced meat and gravy in it, and blanched a few slices of rapeseed for each.
The two babies were already able to eat by themselves, so Feng Aoqing took the bowl and took a few bites.
I just went to the space to drink a cup of coffee and eat a piece of cake.
