Murong Jing often traveled to various places on official business, and he had also been to nomadic areas. He saw that the locals roasted whole sheep, or cut them into small pieces and skewered them with sharpened red willow wood, which were then roasted over a fire. People would sit around, eating meat and drinking wine, which was very pleasant.
He had not only seen it, but also eaten with it several times.
After several encounters with Hong Xiaoduo and the others, I occasionally overheard them talking and heard that they also grilled meat skewers.
When he came with Tianji, he didn't care too much about whether the meat skewers they grilled were good or not.
Moreover, I had dinner with Hong Xiaoduo, so I was in a good mood and had a good appetite, and I ate quite a lot. The main reason I came here is to see her.
However, when Murong Jing arrived and saw the scene before him, he was quite surprised. Wasn't it just a late-night snack? Why was it made so elaborate?
Moreover, it looks quite artistic.
"Tianxuan, is there anything I can do for Tianshu?" Haidong went straight over and asked.
Tian Shu and the others were already close to Hai Dong and his group, so they didn't stand on ceremony and asked him to help move the table where the ingredients were placed.
"Huh? What's this? It looks like a fish tail." Hai Dong looked at the items on the tray, examined them carefully, and asked uncertainly.
"Uncle Haidong, you're so smart! This is the fish tail, the tail of the flounder," Yaoguang said as she walked over.
Then each item was introduced, and Haidong was quite surprised. "So lavish? It seems like they can grill anything!"
Master Ke, standing to the side, was racking his brains, wondering when they had gone to buy and prepare so many kinds of ingredients. Was there even a place in Baishi City that specialized in selling turbot? He had never heard of it, let alone seen it.
Hearing that even the young master's men from the capital hadn't recognized him, he immediately felt much more at ease.
Murong Jing also went up and looked around, examining the trays of ingredients neatly arranged. Although he didn't recognize many of the ingredients, he didn't ask. He figured that even if he did, none of the children would tell him.
After looking around, she very consciously pulled up a chair and sat down next to Quan Jinghuai.
"Do you often eat like this?" Murong Jing asked Quan Jinghuai.
During the month or so that Hong Xiaoduo was gone, the six children were very hostile towards him. Although Feiyan was not so naive, she would only give him a simple greeting and never have much contact with him.
That is, Quan Jinghuai not only treats him the same as before, but on the contrary, his attitude towards him seems to be even better than before.
Murong Jing wasn't stupid; he understood perfectly well that Quan Jinghuai genuinely approved of him and Xiao Duo becoming husband and wife.
This also shows that Master Quan has a good impression of her, at least she is worthy of Xiao Duo.
"I eat it occasionally after autumn begins, more often in winter, and it's rare to eat it in summer," Quan Jinghuai replied, putting the sword manual in his pocket.
"I really envy Brother Quan, you're so lucky to have such a good meal," Murong Jing said with a smile.
Hearing him say that, Quan Jinghuai glanced at him and said, "Why should the young master be envious? If you want to, you can do it too."
"Does Brother Quan think I don't want to? It's just that I'm afraid that if I pursue her too aggressively, it will cause her to feel disgusted. If she just doesn't want to accept my feelings, then at least we can still be friends in the future."
"But if she dislikes me, she might not even want to talk to me anymore," Murong Jing said in a low voice.
Seeing that Murong Jing was speaking so carefully, Quan Jinghuai shook his head helplessly and said, "Is it worth it for you, Your Highness? After all, if you wanted, the princesses and noble ladies of the royal family and the daughters of powerful families in the capital would be at your disposal."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Unfortunately, my heart only yearns for her."
"Hey, I'm just wasting my breath talking to you. It's giving me goosebumps." Quan Jinghuai said, rubbing his arms as he watched the way the man looked at Xiaoduo while talking to him.
Although he had known about the word "sweet and mushy" for a long time, he only truly understood its meaning today!
“Brother Quan, you’re two years older than me, and you’re still unmarried, aren’t you? What’s wrong with you, Brother Quan? With your looks, character, and skills, is it really that hard for you to find a wife?” Murong Jing was amused by Quan Jinghuai’s reaction and teased him in return.
"How can the young master compare to me? I am a wanderer of the martial world, drifting from place to place. I have a wife and children, so naturally I can no longer stay in the martial world."
"Since I can't do it, I might as well not ruin someone's life," Quan Jinghuai said frankly.
Just then, Tianxuan started grilling skewers too. Suddenly, the wind direction changed, and the smoke blew towards Hong Xiaoduo and the others. Tianxuan immediately asked Haidong to help move the grill to a different location.
At this moment, Gong Wei and his wife also returned, excitedly entering the courtyard. They first smelled the fragrance in the air, but when they saw the scene in the courtyard, they were both stunned.
What's this? I didn't hear my son and the others say what they were going to do before they went out. How come the yard has been turned up like this in less than an hour?
"Father, Mother, you're back! Come and sit here!" Tianquan greeted them happily.
Gong Wei handed his sword to his attendant and then walked over with his wife.
"What has made the general so happy?" Murong Jing asked curiously.
“Someone brought grain and supplies from over there and asked someone to help deliver them to our army. This is such a great thing, Your Highness, how could I not be happy?”
It wasn't a thousand or so kilograms, it was over ten thousand kilograms. I had already ordered people to check it and there were no problems. It was only just finished being transported.
"I just don't know who it is, so I don't know who to thank." Gong Wei couldn't stop smiling.
