Chapter 41: War is coming
When Old Wang took the black truffle that Qiuju held in front of him, he was also surprised.
Can this thing be eaten?
Qiu Ju said, "Uncle Wang, let's get started. Madam is waiting!"
He sighed helplessly, washed the mud off himself, and cut it into thin slices with the most perfect knife skills. However, during the cutting process, he, who had been a chef all his life, was inexplicably attracted by the aroma of black truffles.
The mellow and sweet fragrance lingers in the air for three days.
He couldn't help but take a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it gently and savoring it carefully.
It has a crispy texture, and the moment you bite into the slice, the unusual aroma explodes in your mouth.
At this moment, Lao Wang immediately thought of several dishes that could be paired with black truffles. The dishes made in that way would be simply the most delicious food in the world.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang."
Qiuju saw that Lao Wang took a piece of the pill and looked obsessed with it. She had never seen him like this before, so she quickly waved her hand in front of him.
Old Wang finally came to his senses and said, "Okay, very good."
After sighing twice, he hurriedly prepared the dipping sauce according to the tastes of the ladies and young masters.
Seeing him like this, Qiuju was also confused. Could it really be delicious?
Return to the back garden later.
A plate of thinly sliced black truffles, three small dishes of dipping water, and three pairs of chopsticks.
The Lu family's mother and two children picked up their chopsticks, but they were all hesitant about whether to do so. Judging from their expressions, they wanted to give it a try but were also afraid of getting poisoned.
"Can any young master lend me your chopsticks? I'll eat in front of you." Ding Xiaodie spoke up immediately when she saw the family of three being so hesitant.
"I'll lend you mine." Lu Xingluo enthusiastically handed over his chopsticks.
Everyone stared at Xiaodie. She picked up a piece of black truffle, dipped it in water, and put it in her mouth.
Hmm!
Still that delicious, tasty.
I couldn't help but pick up another piece and put it in my mouth. It was delicious. It was so good!
The three members of the Lu family looked at each other in bewilderment: "..."
The little girl seemed to be eating with great relish, and... there were no signs of poisoning.
The courage of the three people was instantly aroused. Mrs. Lu and Lu Chenhe each ate a piece. Lu Xingluo snatched the chopsticks from Ding Xiaodie's hand and he also ate a piece.
Soon, strange expressions appeared on the faces of the three people.
Ancient people never ate raw food, so they were naturally not used to the black truffle because it had not been cooked. However, soon, the rich aroma in their mouths brought them an unprecedented experience.
So I couldn't help but eat the second piece, the third piece...
"It's delicious indeed." Mrs. Lu praised repeatedly.
Lu Chenhe and Lu Xingluo could only nod and give a thumbs-up. They wanted to eat a few more slices, but their mother's chopsticks pressed down on them: "Stop, you can't eat anymore. This is so delicious, you should share it with your father."
The two young masters quickly placed their chopsticks on the stone table.
Later, Lu Chenhe personally took over the tray that Qiuju had packed and said, "I'll take it to my father."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Xiaodie, you can come with us. When the time comes, you can tell the master about this black truffle."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Mom, I want to go too." Lu Xingluo signed up immediately.
So the three of them, led by Lu Chenhe, walked towards Master Lu Yan's study in the front hall.
Since there were no elders along the way, Lu Xingluo could finally ask questions out of curiosity: "Xiaodie, is your hometown really in a village far, far away?"
"yes!"
"Did many people really die of starvation on your way here?"
"Xingluo." Lu Chenhe frowned and warned his brother seriously, "Don't talk nonsense."
Things like starving people to death are so heartbreaking, so why should he expose other people's scars?
Although Lu Chenhe is only one year older than Lu Xingluo, he appears calm and steady, while his younger brother Lu Xingluo is lively and active, and laughs heartily, like a little Husky.
Although, in their eyes at this time, Ding Xiaodie was just a little sister.
But in Ding Xiaodie's heart, they two are the younger brothers.
She said, "Luckily, we finally made it to Yangliu Town and found a place to stay, which saved some lives. Otherwise, if those elderly people had continued to walk down, who knows how many more people would have died."
Hearing her say this, Lu Xingluo could no longer laugh: "Xiaodie, I'm sorry!"
Lu Chenhe also comforted her: "Xiaodie, Xingluo just likes to ask random questions, just ignore him. By the way, how are your family members?"
"well enough!"
Ding Xiaodie told them the bizarre incident in which the three members of the Ding family were almost trampled to death, which frightened the two young masters.
I didn’t expect that for the sake of saliva, the villagers would even disregard other people’s lives!
Ding Xiaodie then changed the subject: "Anyway, Mr. Lu was able to give us a bite to eat. The villagers are very grateful. Everyone says that Mr. Lu is a living Bodhisattva sent down from heaven."
Then the two young masters showed a slight satisfaction on their faces again. Their father did a good thing, and they also benefited from it.
As they were talking, they arrived at the door of Mr. Lu's study.
"How did you do that?"
A roar suddenly came from inside.
What's going on?
The voice belonged to Mr. Lu, but he was scolding someone. It seemed like I came at the wrong time.
Lu Chenhe and Lu Xingluo, who usually had strict family education, had already stopped in their tracks. Their father was usually very serious, and once he got angry, they dared not get close to him.
I could only hear someone sobbing and begging Master Lu: "We were inspecting separately at the time, but I didn't expect him to disappear later. I was worried that he would return to the Lu Mansion early, so I rushed back to check."
"Never mind. He kept saying he was going to find his family. Maybe he just left without saying goodbye!" Master Lu sighed, his voice heavy with sorrow. "However, thankfully, the village chief of Aozigou promised to send men from his village to help. As long as we're fully prepared, even those scattered Modu soldiers won't be able to do anything to our Lu family or Yangliu Town."
What?
Ding Xiaodie's heart tightened instantly.
The nomadic stragglers from Modu, have they chased us here? And Uncle Lai Fu also promised the village to send people to help the Lu family?
Wouldn’t the people sent out have to fight against the Modu soldiers?
Thinking of this, Ding Xiaodie's heart suddenly sank. The people of Modu were already tough, not to mention the Modu nomadic soldiers. They had fought in countless battlefields and had now occupied one-third of the northern part of Qi Yan.
How could a few villagers resist such a team?
No wonder Uncle Lai Fu looked so worried after returning from the Lu Mansion. It turned out that he had known the news for a long time and had already promised Mr. Lu.
Then the crying man was heard saying, "Don't worry, sir. We will do our best to protect the town."
"Go!" Master Lu's voice was low.
"yes."
Soon, a security guard came out wiping his tears and left.
The two young masters were still standing there in a daze. They had just heard that the Modu soldiers had arrived, and they were naturally shocked. Are they going to have a war?
