Chapter 49 Regret
The family had a delicious meal.
But because the quantity was limited, I only ate until I was 70% full.
In fact, there was still a lot of food in the carriage, but Lu Yao didn't let him take it out.
They have been quite conspicuous today, so in order not to arouse public anger, they should keep a low profile.
"On the first day, I didn't control the amount well. I must pay attention next time." Lu Yao said
Lu Mingxiu shook his head and smiled, "A healthy diet shouldn't be too filling."
Moreover, eating too much suddenly is not good for your health.
Thinking of this, he returned to the carriage and took out some pills to distribute to Lu Yao and the other three: "This is to prevent diarrhea."
They haven't eaten well these days, and if they suddenly eat meat, their stomachs will definitely not be able to handle it. To be on the safe side, it is better to eat something in advance as a precaution.
"Brother, why are you so nice!" Lu Yao was touched and happy by her brother's thoughtfulness.
He is such a good brother, but I don’t know when a woman worthy of his attention will appear.
Alas, in modern times, she is at the prime age for young people, but in this era, she is already an older unmarried person. In the past, she was a burden to her brother. In the future, if she really meets a woman she likes, she will definitely be nice to her sister-in-law.
Recalling the description and ending of her brother in the original novel, she clenched her fist. The male protagonist's halo? She just didn't believe it!
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Mingxiu rubbed his little sister's head. "Talk to me about it with gnashing teeth."
Lu Yao wanted to shake her head and say it was nothing, but when the words came to her lips, she rolled her eyes and asked, "If someone bullied me, what would you do, brother?"
Lu Mingxiu's expression instantly turned serious: "Who is it?"
He was just asking casually, but he didn't expect that someone would actually bully his younger sister.
Seeing that her brother was angry, Lu Yao quickly admitted her mistake: "Well, I was just asking casually, brother, I'm sorry."
How could she forget how much her brother cared about her? !
"You~" Lu Mingxiu poked her little head unhappily, "You only know how to scare me."
Lu Yao laughed foolishly and repeatedly said that she didn't dare.
As for what was written in the original book, as long as she was there, she would never allow her loved ones to fall into such a situation!
After dinner, they started to clean up.
Rong Yanhui took the initiative to take the clay pot and bowl to the lake to wash them. Seeing this, Mo Zhu hurriedly grabbed them and did not give Rong Yanhui any chance to refute. He carried the clay pot and walked towards the lake.
"Brother-in-law, take a break," Lu Mingxiu said, "We still have to travel soon."
Rong Yanhui sat down beside him and said, "With my brother helping to take care of the two children, our work has been much easier."
He looked around and saw no one else around. His sister Yao was busy with her two children in front of the stove. He moved closer and lowered his voice: "Over at the Shen family, I'd like to trouble my brother to keep a closer eye on them."
Mentioning the Shen family, Lu Mingxiu couldn't help but frown: "Didn't you cut off your relationship?"
Why is it still haunting me?
"You know the nature of those people. They lost face so badly, but we're doing well now. It's impossible for them not to hold a grudge," Rong Yan turned and lowered his eyes. "I've been feeling a bit uneasy these past couple of days, constantly worried about what might happen. Haohao and Yueyue are still very young, and I'm worried they might harm Yaomei and the others."
Lu Mingxiu sighed softly and patted his shoulder: "I'll keep an eye on it."
While the two were whispering, Lu Yao took the two children to "hunt for treasure".
It was the first time for Haohao and Yueyue to play this game with their mother, and they were very excited. They took wooden sticks and followed their mother's instructions. They first moved the stones used to build the stove to the side, then tested the temperature of the ground to make sure they would not burn themselves before starting to dig.
However, they always remembered what their mother said about the delicious food below, so they were very careful, fearing that they would poke the pheasant if they were not careful.
Lu Yao rubbed the two children's heads and encouraged them, "It's okay, just keep digging."
It was covered with a layer of yellow mud, which had solidified into a hard shell after being roasted. It was impossible for two children to break it by poking at it.
With their mother's assurance, the two children were no longer so restrained.
Soon, the mud buried on top was dug up, revealing two dried "mud balls".
"Mom, I found it!"
"Mother, baby!"
When the two children saw what they were going to dig, they cheered and hurriedly asked their mother for credit and praise.
Lu Yao was generous and gave them a thumbs-up. "Brother and sister are both great," she said. "You've all worked hard. I'll reward you each with a chicken drumstick later."
The two children were very happy, with smiling eyes.
Lu Yao quietly dug the hard mud and said, "We'll open it when Uncle Mozhu comes back."
"Yeah!" The two children nodded, staring at the two dried mud balls without blinking.
"Brother, is there really anything delicious here?" Little Xinyue asked in a low voice.
Haohao nodded: "If mother said yes, it should be."
Little Xinyue's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled: "Mom would never lie to us."
only,
When will Uncle Mozhu come back?
"Brother, let's go help Uncle Mozhu." Xiao Xinyue suggested.
"No," Haohao, who always doted on his sister, rejected her proposal: "Have you forgotten what Daddy and Mommy said? We can't run around without their sight. There are bad guys."
Xiao Xinyue felt a little regretful, but did not insist.
My brother is right. If she can't find her father, mother and uncle, she will be very sad and upset.
When the "treasure" was dug out here, Lu Mingxiu and Rong Yanhui said almost the same thing.
Two pheasants, they opened it first to see how it tasted.
"Mom, how do I eat this?"
Xiao Yunhao turned the round mud ball around, trying to figure out how to open it.
Lu Yao picked a stone that she liked and handed it to Xiao Yunhao: "Thank you for your hard work, Haohao."
Yun Hao took the stone and immediately understood: "Should I smash it directly?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, he began to try to knock.
"Dong, dong, dong", the layer of mud wrapped around the outside was broken, and the fragrance instantly came to the nose.
"Mother, it smells so good."
Yueyue and Haohao couldn't help swallowing.
Lu Yao smelled the fragrance and breathed a sigh of relief. This smell should be okay.
"Mom, why was there no taste before?" Little Yueyue asked curiously.
Lu Yao didn't give the other party a direct answer, but asked: "Yueyue, think about it, when did you smell it?"
Xiao Xinyue thought for a moment and said, "Brother, break the outer shell."
"Then Yueyue, think about it again. Why can we smell it when the shell is broken?" Lu Yao coaxed.
Yueyue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Mom, Yueyue knows."
Yueyue's voice immediately attracted several people nearby.
Lu Yao took the dagger handed to her by Mo Zhu, cut off the vines wrapped around the outside, and opened the reed leaves one by one while listening to Xin Yue's answer.
"This hard shell blocks the smell inside," Xiao Xinyue thought for a moment, "just like Yueyue can't breathe if she pinches her nose."
"Yueyue is amazing," Lu Yao said, her hands stained with oil. She leaned forward and kissed her on the face, praising her, "How come our Yueyue is so smart!"
Little Xinyue immediately answered: "Yueyue looks like her brother, and her brother is smart."
Lu Yao and the others couldn't help laughing, but they didn't discourage Xinyue's enthusiasm. Instead, they praised and affirmed her.
As a child under four years old, it is great to have such logical thinking.
Here, Lu Yao had already opened the layer of reed leaves wrapped around the pheasant, revealing the golden chicken meat.
"Wow!"
It smells really good.
Everyone who was resting couldn't help but sniff. What was this sudden strong fragrance?
"It seems to have come from that family."
"The rabbit meat was already very overbearing before, but I didn't expect this to be even more exaggerated."
"I don't know what it is."
"In short, these are enviable scores."
"I've tasted all sorts of delicacies in my life, but I've never smelled such a powerful smell."
"Tell me, would you agree if I go to get the scriptures?"
"Tsk, a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world." Old Mrs. Wang's face was full of disdain, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Mom," Wang Yalan saw the old lady say something shocking again and quickly changed the subject, "Would you like to lean on your niece and rest for a while?"
"Yes, Grandma," Shen Yaoming also said with concern: "You are old, and your body will definitely not be able to bear walking such a long distance like us."
"It's okay. I'm in high spirits now," said Old Lady Wang. "There are many people in the family, old and young, except for you and your son. Anyone with a little ability will be looked up to."
Watching the family he looked down upon eating and drinking without saving a cent, he was destined to never see the person who had appeared in his dreams countless times.
These things clearly belonged to her, but that sinister bastard was trying to provoke her in various ways. Otherwise, would she let them leave the Shen family so easily?
It would be a lie to say that I don't regret or feel angry. If there hadn't been that letter of severance, everyone in that family would have been controlled by her and her family. They could do whatever they wanted to her. As long as I sip a sip of tea, they would control me and manipulate me. How could I have the chance to be proud?
However, she could only think about this in her heart and talk about it with Ya Lan in private, for fear that others would find out and say that they deserved it.
Lu Yao and the others didn't know what Mrs. Wang was thinking. Even if they knew, they would just smile at most. Some people were able to portray shamelessness so vividly. It was quite a talent.
At least, most people really can't do such a shameless thing.
However, Lu Yao and the others couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw the golden and salty beggar's chicken.
Lu Yao was not vague and directly tore off two legs and handed them to the two children. She had promised to give them chicken legs before, so she naturally couldn't go back on her word.
Everyone took turns to share the remaining pieces, and soon the whole chicken was divided up.
"Brother, is it delicious?" Lu Yao asked, as if asking for praise.
Lu Mingxiu smiled and said, "My little sister's cooking skills have improved again."
Lu Yao raised her chin slightly: "That's it."
Beggar's chicken and the like are actually very simple to make, but to make them well you need some unique secret recipes and tips. Coincidentally, she is very knowledgeable about food.
Both her parents were very busy with work, so when she was very young, they would discuss whoever had the time to take care of the house, but reality is often cruel.
Often, both of them are busy working overtime, and even if they have adjusted their schedules as much as possible, it is not possible for one of them to be at home at all times.
Later, as she grew up, she began to learn how to wash clothes, cook and take care of herself in order not to worry her parents.
Those skills will still exist even if we change time and space.
Since the beggar's chicken tastes authentic, there is no need to worry about not being able to serve it well.
Lu Mingxiu held the other one that was not stripped of mud and went to look for the direction where the officers and soldiers were.
Captain Wu had just finished his meal and was about to return the bowl after washing it when he ran into Lu Mingxiu holding a lump of dried mud.
Because of that bowl of rabbit meat, their attitude towards Lu Mingxiu's family has improved several levels. When they saw him, they thought he was here to get the bowl.
"I'm preparing to send it to you."
Lu Mingxiu handed over the item in his hand: "This is yellow clay braised chicken. The taste is okay. Please try it, sir."
"You're so polite."
Captain Wu said no, but he stretched out his hand very politely, handing over the bowl with one hand and the goods with the other.
After the food was delivered, Lu Mingxiu did not stay for long. He briefly explained to the other party how to eat the braised chicken. After the other party had taken note of it, he said goodbye and left.
Captain Wu had already smelled the unique fragrance here, but due to their status, none of them stepped forward to ask anything. Now that the other party handed this thing to him, how could he not be excited?
but,
He sniffed it, a little unsure. Was this mud puddle really the same fragrance he smelled before?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it and went straight to the carriage where the general was.
Meng Hu was a little disappointed. He didn't even get to taste the rabbit meat, so he definitely couldn't even think about the braised chicken.
