Chu Qiuze didn't worry too much about why Lan An, as an ancient person, had not yet married at the age of 30.

After all, the royal family relationships are too complicated, who knows what royal secrets there are?

Since we haven't gotten married yet, I might as well just get it for free now!

Thinking of this, Chu Qiuze felt that it was time to move forward the progress bar of his pursuit.

He smiled and asked, "Little brother, you don't let me call you that. Calling you Prince, I feel it's too distant. Anyway, so many people call you Prince, and one more doesn't make a difference. Calling you by your name is too monotonous."

The tone sounded teasing, yet also coquettish.

Lan An couldn't understand how many crooked ideas this man had. With a status second only to the top leader, how many people in the world would dare to address him by his name?

Previously, this Chu Qiu Ze was called Lan Euan. The prince called him differently depending on his mood. It can be said that he was quite casual.

He never cared about it, and in fact, this feeling of equality made him feel comfortable.

"I am a few years older than you." Lan An said after careful consideration: "If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Lan."

This is a typical example of me wanting to sleep with you but you treating me like a brother.

If he really called him that, then Lan An would have to call him Chu Di? How ugly! ! !

Chu Qiuze rolled his eyes, showing his disdain, "Prince, look, we can be considered friends now, right?"

Lan An nodded. This man's identity was unknown and he was frivolous and boastful, but he had never done anything out of the ordinary. Although he had doubts in his heart, he had received so many benefits from him.

If he can't be considered a friend, Lan An should reflect on himself.

Chu Qiuze continued, "Why don't we just call you the way we do it? Brother Lan or something like that, it makes you sound like you are my brother, which is inappropriate, since you already have an older brother at home."

Lan An glanced at him. This surname plus "brother" is a respectful title.

Throughout the ages, no matter whether they are children of nobles or common people, if two people have similar temperaments or share the same ideals, they will be referred to as elder brother and the other as younger brother based on their age, to show respect for each other.

"Just tell me first." Lan An looked at his serious eyes and replied.

Chu Qiuze continued to deceive, "The way we call each other over there is actually similar to how you call each other brothers."

"I'd like to hear the details."

"We are friends." Chu Qiuze suppressed his smile, "Then just add the word 'friend' after your surname. I'll call you Lan Friend, and you call me Chu Friend."

As a southerner, it is normal to not be able to distinguish between flat and retracted tongue sounds, and front and back nasal sounds.

So a blue friend is equivalent to a boyfriend.

Then let's speak dialect again. To have friends is to be friends, to be friends is to play friends, and to play friends is to be in love.

The more Chu Qiuze thought about it, the more he felt that he was quite clever.

"Seconds, double-click to like." Xiao En said numbly in Chu Qiuze's mind: "Type it on the public screen 666!"

Chu Qiuze became even more proud.

Blue Gum's scalp was tingling, this strange feeling came again.

I knew that this title was definitely wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it, and I couldn't find any reason to refute it.

"How's it going?" Chu Qiuze scooped out the snail noodles from the small pot and passed it to distract Lan An, "Friend Lan? Eat first."

Lan An took the bowl of sour and smelly vermicelli and remained silent.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to refuse the title of "Blue Friend" or to refuse this bowl of stinky fans.

"Huh! Huh! Huh..." Chu Qiuze knew that he had to give the old-fashioned Lan An some time to digest the thoughts, and he had to shut him up, so he just started slurping noodles as if no one was around.

Eating will always be able to shut up his mouth if he refuses, right? Anyway, Lan An never talks while eating or sleeping, and he has a lot of rules.

Lan Euan looked here and there, and finally endured the physical discomfort and started slurping the noodles.

The taste is both expected and unexpected.

The taste of snail noodles is really good, with crispy sour bamboo shoots, chewy vermicelli, and a spicy and fragrant soup base. When you put it in your mouth, you can't smell the stench at all.

"How is it? My friend Lan, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Chu Qiuze asked with his mouth full of oil after slurping the noodles.

"Not bad." Lan An put down his bowl and chopsticks without changing his expression. He did not refute his friend's title.

The mouth that eats human flesh is soft.

"General Lu." Chu Qiuze called out, "Are you really not going to try it? Look, your prince has eaten it all."

“No, no.” Lu Ziye, who was at the other end of the ruined temple, slurped his instant noodles happily, and then said, “I’ve never eaten noodles so delicious.”

After that, he contributed another 3,000 points of gratitude and sincerely invited the two: "My male god, my prince, how about you also come and eat noodles?"

He really couldn't imagine how delicious something so smelly could be.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who were eating noodles also followed suit and contributed a wave of gratitude points.

Chu Qiuze suppressed his laughter and said, "General Lu, please serve the prince a bowl of noodles. I don't have much noodles here, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Lu Ziye followed suit, washed a clean bowl, picked up a large bowl and walked over, "Prince, eat it. Remember to drink the soup, because the soup is the essence of this noodle."

Then he passed the noodles over and ran away, fearing that he would be contaminated by the foul stench.

Blue Gum, "......"

It’s not that he couldn’t finish the food, so he didn’t refuse and happily accepted the feeding.

These noodles are indeed better than vermicelli, Lan An thought as he devoured them.

"Mr. Chu...Qiu Ze." Lan An finally changed his words, but he couldn't call him friend Chu, so he could still use his courtesy name.

Chu Qiuze was in a good mood. It was good enough that the prince could call him Qiuze.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Do you have a recipe for this noodle?" Lan An thought for a moment and said, "It would be much more convenient to have this noodle than rice when marching to war. If you can make it, I'll give you the reward you want."

Chu Qiuze propped his chin up and frowned. The process of making instant noodles was not difficult, but it could not be explained in a few words. He did not understand the details. Moreover, there was no such thing as preservatives in this time and space, so preservation was also a problem.

I have to check the information first.

Lu Ziye, who was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, also heard this and ran over in three or two steps, seemingly no longer bothered by the subtle sour smell.

He had the same idea as Lan An. During a march or a war, food and wages were the most precious and were also the first line of defense for the soldiers. Only by filling their stomachs could they have the strength to kill the enemy.

"My idol." Lu Ziye was very excited. "If you have a recipe, my Lu family's army will be at your disposal in the future."

Lan An's eyes flickered as he looked at Lu Ziye. The Lu family army controlled the royal family's military power, so how could they be dispatched by others?

"Tsk~!" Chu Qiuze knew what Lan An was thinking and said disdainfully, "I'm a good god. I'm not rebelling, and I don't want to be the emperor. What do you need the army for?"

Lu Ziye breathed a sigh of relief. He regretted what he had just said. If anything went wrong, the entire Lu family would suffer.

His life was of no concern, but he could not drag his own people down with him, so he added: "From now on, I, Lu Ziye, will be at the disposal of the male god."

Lan An didn't have any other ideas. He had seen the so-called magic weapons in Chu Qiu Ze's house. Compared to the throne, those magic weapons were obviously more attractive.

Therefore, he knew that this person looked down upon the so-called power and status.

Let’s get back to business.

Chu Qiuze thought about it carefully and said, "Friend Lan, how about you and General Lu come back to the fairyland with me tonight? This recipe is not difficult, but I have to look up the information first."

"Using public power for personal gain." Xiao En roared madly in his mind, "You just want Lan An to go home with you, so you make up so many excuses!"

Ahem! Chu Qiuze felt a little embarrassed. During the days when it rained in the mountains, Lan An basically went back with him.

This also made it easier for him to develop feelings, but later on Lan An didn't want to go.

Say in a high-sounding manner that you don't want to bother him.

Now is a good opportunity!

"Go to the fairyland?" Lu Ziye was even more excited, and he went up to Chu Qiuze and held his hands. "Is my idol really willing to take me to the fairyland?"

Chu Qiuze hummed, thinking that you are just bringing along, and it doesn't make any difference whether you bring one or two. After all, the house is big and there is no need to worry about not having enough space.

"Ask the prince." Chu Qiuze added, "As long as he is willing to go, that's fine."

"Prince?" Lu Ziye cast his gaze towards Lan An, "Would you like to take me there to broaden my horizons?"

Lan An's eyes were fixed on Lu Ziye's clenched hands, and he said coldly: "Let go!"

Lu Ziye instantly became as obedient as a big golden retriever. He quickly withdrew his hand, and sighed in his heart that the Regent's temper was becoming more and more weird.

Then she shook her head in embarrassment and said, "Sorry, my idol, I was too excited and lost my composure."

"It's okay." Although Chu Qiu Ze is a gay, he thinks it's normal to be close to ordinary friends, and Lu Ye is just silly, he doesn't care at all.

"Friend Lan? Are you going?" Chu Qiuze continued to invite: "This is called instant noodles. The original design is for convenience. In fact, you don't even need to cook it. Just add some hot water and soak it and you can eat it. If that doesn't work, you can eat it dry. It is indeed convenient for marching and fighting."

After a pause, he thought of the compressed biscuits again: "There are more convenient foods to carry in the fairyland. Why don't we go and have a look?"

Now that I've said this, there's no point in refusing.

Everyone knew the importance of these instant noodles to Dahan, and Lan An nodded in agreement.

Lu Ziye had all the previous packaging bags burned and arranged the soldiers. Then he looked at Chu Qiu Ze with burning eyes.

"My dear, when are we leaving?"

"Let's go!" He held Lan'an's hand with one hand, held Lu Ziye's wrist with the other, and shouted a spell.

Lu Ziye closed his eyes and was much more shocked than when Lan An came for the first time.

She touched here and there, and asked her idol from time to time what this was for, like a curious baby.

"Don't be rude." Lan An scolded.

Chu Qiuze was good-tempered and explained things to him seriously.

Lu Ziye immediately became obedient and put down the sweeping robot, but he couldn't help but wonder: "Can this thing really sweep the floor?"

"Of course, go ahead and have fun, it's okay." Chu Qiuze answered jokingly, then took out his tablet, searched for tutorials on how to make instant noodles, and started discussing business with Lan An.

The preparation method is not difficult. The first steps are not much different from making ordinary noodles. After the noodles are made, they are steamed in a pan and then fried.

Fried food can be preserved for a longer time, but without preservatives and proper packaging, it easily becomes damp and spoils.

He told Lan An the whole process and results.

Lan An was satisfied with the result. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find a few chefs and see if there's a way to deal with it."

Chu Qiuze nodded, and then talked about compressed biscuits. This thing is more suitable for marching than instant noodles, but the production process is still too complicated for the ancients.

I have a general understanding of Blue Gum, and after all, I realize that my own country is too backward.

"If you need it, I can order a batch for you. It's not expensive." Chu Qiuze saw that Lan An didn't say anything and thought that he was not willing to speak up, so he just said it himself!

Not short of money!

Lan An shook his head. "Not for now. If I need it in the future, I will definitely ask you."

After a pause, he said rather embarrassedly: "You are in Dahan, if you need anything, just come to me."

Lan An has said this many times, and he even feels embarrassed.
