Huyan Xun stared in astonishment.
The lightness skills of those from the Central Plains are truly amazing; he was extremely envious.
"Xiaoyan, stop and rest," Ling Ba said.
Qiu Yan was thinking the same thing.
She dismounted from the camel, stretched her back, and loosened her stiff body.
"Xiaoyan, what are we having for dinner?" Qin Susu stretched out her arms and jumped to Qiu Yan's side. "I'm so hungry."
"What else can we eat? Let's cook a meal." This foodie, all he knows is eating.
Qiu Yan glanced at the distance; there were only a few desolate farmhouses, no towns or villages.
After a day's journey, the soldiers were starving.
Both teams then began preparing their own food.
The barbarian troops began to set up fires and roast meat.
Qiu Yan turned her head and glanced at the flock of sheep that the barbarian tribe carried with them.
This flowing supply of provisions is truly wonderful; how could she not have thought of it?
Qiu Yan pulled the listless Qin Susu along and started cooking a thick millet porridge.
During this time, Apu and his two companions also came to help.
As usual, Vera sat cross-legged on the ground and began to peruse his scriptures.
Huyan Xun looked at Vera curiously, then rode his horse to a high place far away, gazing at the distant oasis.
Ling Ba glanced warily at Hu Yanxun, then approached Qiu Yan to help with the cooking.
"Xiaoyan, I want to eat meat too." Qin Susu looked at the grill on the other side, drooling.
"Look at you, so pathetic." Qiu Yan's hands didn't stop moving as she took out the dry rations she had prepared beforehand.
It was the egg pancakes and dried meat that she and Qin Susu had made one after another.
"Am I the only one who's good for nothing?" Qin Susu's gaze fell on Xie Ning beside her, only to see him staring intently at the barbarians' grill.
Noticing that Qiu Yan's gaze was on him, Xie Ning looked away and smiled awkwardly.
Looking again, the other soldiers, though not showing any signs of craving, were indeed starving.
Qiu Yan: "Haven't I ever let you eat meat?"
Is mutton really that delicious?
Regardless of their background, whether rich or poor, the soldiers had never had a single good day after all the hardships they had endured along the way.
Xie Ning: "I really don't want to eat barbecue at all."
Qiu Yan couldn't help but laugh.
Then Feng Chao added,
"Their barbecue is nowhere near as delicious as our flatbread."
The other three echoed her sentiments, prompting Qin Susu to take a large bite of the egg pancake, smacking her lips repeatedly as she refused.
She laughed and said, "That's right, our egg pancakes are still the best!"
After saying that, she swallowed hard and led the three of them, including Ap, to heat up the pancakes they had made in advance.
Spread a layer of vegetable oil on the baking pan.
Sizzle~
The thin, yellowish ice, heated in the grill pan, emitted an enticing aroma.
Qin Susu took a deep sniff.
"Who says barbecue is good? Our egg pancakes are the real gem."
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse,
For dinner, both sides gathered around the fire and began to eat.
Vera, however, did not eat dinner but went to her tent and meditated with her eyes closed.
The barbarian army not only had roasted meat to eat,
And there's also wine to drink.
In the howling autumn wind, they ate roasted meat and drank fine wine, chatting and laughing while observing Qiu Yan and her companion, as well as the Indian girl, Apu. Life couldn't be better.
At night, in the autumn wind and firelight, Huyan Xun whistled at Qiu Yan.
Then, he waved to her, one lamb leg in each hand.
"Hey, Qiu Yan, come here and sit next to me. We have some barbecue here."
