At first, the village chief was full of worries and was extremely reluctant to camp near this group of people.
As the day grew darker, the people in Sujia Village were exhausted after a long journey and had no strength to continue.
In desperation, the village chief looked around and saw that this was the only area relatively suitable for resting. Although it was not far from the group of mysterious people, there was really no better choice. He could only reluctantly decide to camp not far from them.
However, the village chief remained vigilant. He solemnly gathered the villagers together, his eyes filled with seriousness and solemnity. His voice was deep and forceful, emphasizing, "Fellow villagers, we are camping here, so please be careful. Those people are no pushovers. Look at the gleaming swords in the hands of their guards. We must not provoke them. Surviving this night safely is our top priority."
When everyone heard this, although they were filled with curiosity about those people, it was like a cat's claws gently scratching their hearts.
Several young men couldn't help but secretly look up, looking over the crowd towards that place, and saw that the guards were all tall and strong with stern expressions. The long swords in their hands shone silver in the reflection of the bonfire, as if they could cut through the dark night.
As if they noticed someone was staring at them, they turned around suddenly and looked towards Sujia Village with fierce eyes.
Just this one glance makes people feel cold.
Everyone quickly averted their gaze, silently swallowed the curiosity in their throats, lowered their heads, and dared not look over there again. The entire camp was instantly filled with a depressing and cautious atmosphere.
On this side, Chao Yun hurriedly returned to his camp carrying a basket.
The camp was bustling with activity, servants coming and going, each doing their own job, and a blazing bonfire dispelling the darkness and coldness all around.
She was anxiously searching for the eldest young master in the crowd, her eyes quickly moving between tents and carriages.
Finally, she saw the gorgeous carriage that the young master was riding in.
The body of the carriage was made of the finest sandalwood, with exquisite brocade curtains hanging around it, gleaming softly in the firelight.
The shaft of the carriage was carved with exquisite cloud patterns. The horses were tall and strong, with shiny coats, standing quietly by the side.
Chao Yun walked lightly to the front of the carriage, lifted the curtain slightly, and poked his head in. With a hint of excitement and anticipation on his face, he said to the young master who was sitting in the carriage concentrating on reading, "Young master, I bought what you wanted to eat. They say it's called sweet potato, and there are many ways to eat it. I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
Upon hearing this, the eldest young master slowly raised his head and put down the book in his hand.
He was wearing a soft, warm blue robe. The blue was just like the deep night sky, distant and mysterious.
There is an ink-black silk ribbon tied around her waist, inlaid with pieces of precious jade. The jade emits a warm glow in the faint light, as if it condenses thousands of years of spiritual energy.
His face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, his eyes were deep and bright, his nose was high and straight, and his lips were thin and slightly pursed. He truly had the demeanor of "a man on the street as white as jade, a young man unparalleled in the world".
At this moment, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of curiosity and interest appeared in his eyes. He cast his gaze towards the basket in Chaoyun's hand and said softly, "Oh, sweet potatoes? I've never seen this before. Go make some and try them."
"Yes, young master, just wait." Chao Yun couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the young master showing interest. Knowing the young master's passion for food, he didn't dare to slack off at all. He quickly turned around with the basket, ready to cook the sweet potatoes immediately.
Don't be fooled by the young master's handsome appearance, as if he is an immortal who is out of touch with the world. In fact, he is an expert with a persistent pursuit and love for food.
Whenever he heard that a restaurant in the capital had launched new delicacies, no matter how busy he was or how far the journey was, the young master would definitely take the time to go and taste them.
Now, in Chao Yun's eyes, this sweet potato that she had never seen before might be cooked skillfully and turned into a unique delicacy. Perhaps it would just suit the young master's picky and unique taste buds and win his favor and praise.
Chao Yun was full of anticipation and hurried towards the temporary kitchen in the camp. He was already thinking about how to cook the sweet potatoes to bring out their flavor to the fullest and live up to the expectations of the eldest young master.
About an incense stick later, Chao Yun worked hard in the temporary kitchen of the camp and finally prepared the sweet potato soup carefully.
She carefully carried the steaming sweet potato soup, took light steps, and slowly walked up to the eldest young master.
In the exquisite porcelain bowl, the sweet potato soup is golden in color, emitting wisps of hot steam. The rich aroma permeates the air and penetrates into people's nostrils.
"Young Master, the sweet potato soup is ready. Please try it." Chao Yun said softly, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in his tone.
The young master put down the book in his hand and his eyes were attracted by the sweet potato soup in front of him.
He leaned forward slightly, first approached the edge of the bowl, and gently sniffed the rising aroma. The unique sweet scent of sweet potato instantly lingered at the tip of his nose, making him raise his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of curiosity and interest flashed in his eyes.
Then he stretched out his slender white fingers, gently picked up the spoon beside him, and elegantly scooped up a spoonful of sweet potato soup.
The sweet potato soup in the spoon was trembling, as if telling of its softness and stickiness.
The young master slowly put the spoon into his mouth, his lips lightly touching the edge of the spoon, and the tip of his tongue lightly touching the golden soup. The delicate touch and sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth.
He gently closed his eyes, as if he was carefully feeling every flavor of the sweet potato soup. His expression was focused and intoxicated, as if everything in the world had turned into nothingness, and only the taste of this mouthful of sweet potato soup was worth savoring.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of appreciation, and said softly: "It's sweet and delicious, it tastes good."
Chao Yun stared at the eldest young master intently, seeing him tasting the sweet potato soup spoonful after spoonful, his face filled with joy and satisfaction, as if he was immersed in the wonderful world created by the food and couldn't extricate himself.
When Chao Yun saw this scene, her heart seemed to be gently caressed by the warm spring sun. The slight worry she had originally had disappeared without a trace in an instant. The smile on her face spread like ripples, becoming brighter and brighter, and her eyes and eyebrows were filled with uncontrollable joy.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you tomorrow." Chao Yun was very excited, her voice filled with unconcealable joy, and her bright eyes were flashing with anticipation, as if she had already seen the young master's comfortable look when he enjoyed the sweet potato delicacy again tomorrow.
"Didn't they say there are many ways to cook sweet potatoes? Let's try a different method tomorrow." The young master put down the spoon in his hand and raised his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of reluctance, curiosity and anticipation for the new taste.
His voice was clear and gentle, yet it carried an unquestionable certainty, and it was obvious that he was already interested in exploring more about this sweet potato delicacy.
"Yes, young master." Chao Yun quickly bowed in response, his tone respectful yet with a hint of excitement.
