The old beggar sat behind Ren Yue and slowly opened his closed eyes.
It was so exciting just now, I was still standing on the ground talking to this young master in the blink of an eye; in the blink of an eye, my feet were already off the ground, and I flew into the air as if flying. When I looked again, I was already sitting on the white horse, and the scenery on both sides receded one after another, only the young master's black hair like ink, soft and fluffy, was in front of my eyes.
"My lord, are you the young master of this family?" Yingxue galloped, the old beggar sat behind Ren Yue, swaying from side to side, trying to grab Ren Yue's white clothes, but when he raised his hand, he saw that his filthy hands were indeed the same as this young man's. The clean white clothes didn't match her, so she dismissed the idea, searched left and right, and finally grabbed Yingxue's saddle tightly. Seen from the front, the old beggar seems to have his hands behind his back, which is very funny.
"No." Ren Yue said lightly.
"A person as handsome as you is not the young master of this family. Could it be that this young master has a fairy-like appearance?" The old beggar was surprised.
"Hehe." Ren Yue didn't explain, just smiled lightly, and lightly shook Yingxue's rein again.
Where is this big family? How can there be any young master! It is clearly a chariot team formed by the merger of several companies.
What about the young master? Hehe, I, Sheng Yaoshan, Qiao Zizhang, Wen Ting, even Hongxiu should be one of them.
"Young master, what's your name?" The old beggar wandered for a while, but he didn't want to understand Ren Yue's identity, let alone what was going on with this crowd of horses.
"My name is Ren." Ren Yue's voice drifted in the wind.
"But Master Wushuang from the capital?" The old beggar was startled.
"The old man came from the capital?" Ren Yue slowed Yingxue's speed, and a strange feeling flashed in his heart.
An old man with the appearance of a beggar appeared in the outskirts of Xianyang. He guessed his identity just by hearing his surname.
"Hehe, that's it. Is there anyone who doesn't know Mr. Ren's appearance? I just heard a little about it and guessed it randomly. The capital? Hehe, of course I haven't been there!" The old beggar paused and smiled unnaturally.
"Hehe." Ren Yue smiled lightly again, and stopped talking.
Not long. Yingxue had already caught up with the chariots and horses going forward.
"Sheng Yaoshan!" Ren Yue rushed to the front, parallel to Sheng Yaoshan.
"Ren San, you are..." Sheng Yaoshan was about to answer when he suddenly caught a glimpse of this familiar old beggar behind Ren Yue.
"Oh, I picked it up on the road. It looks pitiful. I took it in and let you resettle it." Ren Yue said a few simple words, and the old beggar didn't know what was going on. In the blink of an eye, he landed steadily on the ground again.
"Ren San..." Sheng Yaoshan was about to say something. Ren Yue had already returned to his horse and ran to the back of the team again.
"Old man..." Sheng Yaoshan shook his head helplessly. He leaned over and simply asked the old beggar's intentions. I asked his name again, originally wanted to call Xiao Anzi to settle him down, but thinking of that arrogant Ren Yue, he called Zhuzi and Yuanzi instead. So he went with Chef Tang.
"Cai Uncle, let me tell you, you are so lucky to come here from the Drunken Immortal Building! Hehe, but we are going to the provincial capital, but we are busy." Mi's old man chatted.
After a few rounds, the heartless Yuanzi has already revealed the details and intentions of this group of people.
"So, this Chef Wen is actually the number one chef of Zuixianlou?" Although Cai Mi was still dressed in rags, she still looked at Yuanzi with bright eyes, as if she was not interested in anything else but this chef. curious about.
"Hi! What's this? Our sister Rou'er is the rising star. If it weren't for this selection contest. Miss Rou'er won the first place instead of Chef Wen, and we wouldn't have the chance to go to the provincial capital." Yuanzi said cheerfully.
"Hehe." Cai Mi shook her head in disbelief when she heard this, and said no more.
As the sun was setting, the horse team of Mr. Song Tao arrived at a small town.
Sheng Yaoshan went to take care of one or two, and booked a fairly spacious courtyard, even if he lived there.
After coming out of Xianyang city early, they bumped all the way, and had lunch in the suburbs, everyone must have been exhausted, Sheng Yaoshan made such an arrangement, originally planned to rest here for a few days, and then headed for the provincial capital.
Here is a small courtyard, although it is not a few to enter and exit, but the room is spacious.
With the help of Yuanzi, Zhuzi, Wen Ting, Xiao Anzi and others, they moved the carriage and luggage into the yard. Wen Shouzheng took his daughter and Chef Tang to clean their hands, and went straight into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Although Cai Mi is old, she is also quick-witted. First, she helped everyone carry their luggage, and then went straight to the kitchen to help chop firewood and do chores.
"Uncle Cai, why don't you go and rest first." Rou Rou followed, seeing Cai Mi as an old man working so hard, he must have been physically weak to follow along all the way.
"Young girl, no need." Cai Mi smiled and waved her hand, but she was very familiar with her, and she called Wenrou "Young girl" together with everyone.
"Then...brother, go and boil some hot water for Uncle Cai to take a bath, and then find some clean clothes to change into." Seeing that Cai Mi refused, Rou Rou looked him around again, and finally called Wen Ting.
When I saw Cai Mi again, the old man had a completely new look. His gray hair was neatly tied up, he was dressed in clean plain clothes, and a wide brown belt was tied around his waist, making him look more agile and capable.
"Yo? You really aren't a beggar!" Xiao Anzi was helping Ren Yue cook the bath soup, and when he came out of the firewood room, he couldn't help being startled.
"Boy, if you dare to give me horse food, I will remember you!" Cai Mi smiled with a sinister look on his face.
"Cut! Can you bite me?" Xiao Anzi smiled disdainfully, and went into the room to boil water again.
Cai Mi carried a pile of dry firewood and entered the kitchen majestically.
At this moment, Rourou was fighting beside Wen Shouzheng, and Chef Tang was busy with Yuanzi.
Cai Mi carried the bundle of dry firewood to Wen Shouzheng's feet as if nothing had happened, her bright eyes flashed across the cutting board under Wen Shouzheng's hands.
At this time, there were some vegetables and some meat on the chopping board.
Wen Shouzheng was cutting the knife skillfully.
A smile flickered in the corner of Cai Mi's eyes.
"Uncle Cai, go and rest." Rou Rou turned around and saw Cai Mi behind her.
"Oh, okay, okay, girl Rou, if you need anything, just ask me to do it." Cai Mi nodded, although she was a little bit reluctant. But he still walked out quickly.
"Shouzheng, that Cai Mi is really nimble. It's really worry-free to see how this job is done." Chef Tang glanced down at the dry firewood under his feet. They were neat, the same length, and even the same direction. .
Wen Shouzheng glanced at it, nodded and smiled, and immediately went back to preparing dinner.
Millet porridge, white flour steamed buns, light side dishes, and light meat dishes. After a long day's journey, everyone went back to their rooms to rest after having a comfortable dinner.
"Ren San. I squeezed into the room with you a few days ago. I'm sorry. The room is spacious now, so go and have a good rest." Sheng Yaoshan and Ren Yue passed by, and when they passed each other, they left such a sentence Refreshing words.
"En." Ren Yue didn't say much. Still expressionless, white clothes and green shirts crossed each other.
Not long after, a slight snoring sound came from Sheng Yaoshan's room. It seemed that General Sheng was really exhausted from taking care of the elderly and children after this day, and taking care of the entire arrangement of carriages and horses.
Ren Yue walked into the room slowly, Xiao Anzi had already prepared the bath soup.
Behind the screen, there is a medicinal fragrance mixed with warm breath. Slowly transpiring, after a few splashes of water, Ren Yue sat quietly in the bath.
The fragrance of the medicine was hazy, Ren Yue Ruyu's face was a bit strange at first, and then slowly stretched.
"Father, go and rest, leave it to me." Rourou urged Wen Shouzheng to go back to sleep with some distress, and took over the task of tidying up the kitchen.
"Heh—" Wen Shouzheng yawned, really tired, "Rou'er, you should rest earlier." Wen Shouzheng turned and went back.
"Father, it's true, things are always placed in disorder, how can this jar be placed here..." Rourou was talking to herself, while arranging the utensils in the kitchen, she squeezed into a corner without knowing it.
At this moment, a black figure flashed in, with light footsteps, Gentle was really startled.
It's so late, everyone has gone to bed, who could it be? It can't be a bad guy! Ruan whispered in her heart, leaning down slightly, the kitchen utensils in front of her covered her slender figure.
Similarly, the high and low kitchen utensils also gave Wen Rou some gaps, so that she could see clearly.
The feet in cloth shoes turned around in front of the stove, there was a soft sigh, and then there was a rustling sound, I saw the man's back, touching a happy tail from the basin. Xiao Yu quietly walked out.
"It turned out to be a greedy cat! You actually came to steal fish!" Rourou hid in the corner, although she could see clearly, but the people who came came always showed their backs, and the kitchen lights were extremely dim, so it was difficult to distinguish clearly for a while.
Gentle and curious, she confirmed that the man was just stealing fish and had absolutely no malice, and immediately followed him out quietly.
Pass through the courtyard, walk out of the gate, and turn a corner in the alley in front, only to see the man sitting on the ground with his back to Wen Rou.
"Hiding here to eat? It's really a good place, leeward and secluded!" Rourou murmured in her heart, and became curious again in a flash.
That fish is raw! How is he going to eat? !
I saw that the man took out a small gourd from his arms, pulled out the cap, and a faint smell of wine overflowed.
"He even stole morning dew wine!" Rourou secretly thought it was funny, this person ate quite a lot!
But the next scene really surprised Wen Rou.
The man carefully smeared the morning dew wine in the gourd on the fish's body, then pierced the fish with a branch-like object, and took out a piece of flint from his waist.
After a few clicks, a group of slightly blue flames were seen burning on the man's hand. Amid the faint aroma of wine, Gentle saw that the blue light was burning fresh fish wiped with wine!
No flipping, no racking, no firewood, no spices.
The man just held a tree branch in his hands, slowly admiring the fish body burning in the flames.
"It's actually possible to grill fish like this!" Rourou hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, and almost cried out in shock.
Not long after, a strong smell of fish and a faint smell of wine came over, and when I looked again, the blue flame had already been extinguished.
"Okay! Add some more salt!" The man said to himself, untied a wide belt from his waist, squeezed some white powder from it, and evenly sprinkled it on the grilled fish.
Immediately, he tied his belt again, and tore off a piece of crispy, burnt fish skin with relish.
Looking at it from a distance, Wen Rou swallowed, this fish is grilled, it's absolutely amazing!
Just by smelling the fish, you can know that the fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma of the wine is overflowing. With the help of the burning of the wine, the temperature of the grilled fish is kept at a low temperature. It has both steamed and grilled flavors. If you can take a bite , I don't know how delicious it will be!
Master, this person is definitely a master!
Swallowing his saliva tenderly and greedily, when he looked again, a small fish had been completely eaten by the man, leaving only one intact fish bone and the slender branch.
Under the moonlight, the man raised the gourd, tilted his neck back, and the last drop of Morning Dew slowly flowed into his mouth.
It was this inadvertent side face, gentle and almost choked on his own saliva.
It turned out to be him!
