"General, are you there?" Just as Mu Nanshan was drumming in his stomach, he heard a girl's low voice coming from outside the door, with a short breath, as if she was very tired.
"Come in." Mu Nanshan recognized the owner of the voice and was so busy that he put down the book. After a pause, he picked up the book again and flipped through it.
Sure enough, it was Chun Ya. She came in panting, carrying a huge food box that was out of place with her body shape. Mu Nanshan looked at her tired and red cheeks, immediately dropped the book in her hand, and stood up from the soft couch. She stood up, stared at the food box in her hand and asked, "What is this?"
"It's nothing, I made some food for the general," Chun Ya grinned with natural simplicity, her face with red lips and white teeth was filled with hot smoke. She wiped the sweat with the back of her hand and smiled at Mu Nanshan said, "The general has done such a good thing by eliminating harm for the people. The folks outside are grateful to the general, and the slaves are also grateful to the general and respect the general. Since yesterday, the slaves have been thinking about how to thank the general, but besides cooking, The servant is really useless, so I can only cook a few side dishes for the general. Please don’t dislike it. "
Mu Nanshan looked at her cute smile and felt warm in his heart. He moved his eyes to the huge food box and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Just a few side dishes?"
"Hehe, I didn't count. Anyway, I just do whatever comes to my mind. I don't know how many." Chun Ya smiled even bigger, and quickly opened the food box. The four-layered large food box was filled to the brim. There were eight plates of hot dishes, three plates of cold dishes, and three plates of pastries. Chunya quickly placed all the dishes and bowls on the small table. The small table could not fit, so she carried the last plate, which had no room to put it. Pastry, a little embarrassed and a little flattering, smiled at Mu Nanshan, "General, how about you eat this plate of pastries first? It's still warm."
Mu Nanshan was not polite. He was already hungry. He took the plate of kidney bean cake from her hand and said to Chun Ya, "Sit down and eat something with me."
"How can a slave deserve to eat with the general?" Chunya waved her hands in a hurry and took two steps back.
"Sit down," Mu Nanshan glanced at her again, and couldn't help but pursed his lips, raised his chin, and said to Chun Ya, "Sit down and eat this meal, and I will give you another pair of silver coins." Chopsticks."
"No, no, no!" Chun Ya was so busy that she waved her hand again and sat down awkwardly. She picked up a small piece of crispy scallion pancake on the plate in front of her and slowly took a bite. After a while, she bravely whispered He said to Mu Nanshan, "General, you can't be so generous. There are so many servants in our house, there must be dozens or hundreds of them. No matter how many silver chopsticks the general has, he can't reward them enough."
Mu Nanshan looked at those dark eyes through the white heat, his heart beating suddenly. He lowered his head in a hurry, ate half of the kidney bean cake in his hand, and whispered: "I have never appreciated others. , I only rewarded you."
"What?" Chunya obviously didn't hear clearly and squinted at Mu Nanshan through the white heat.
"Nothing." Mu Nanshan said hurriedly, picking up a chopstick and eating the meatballs randomly, feeling as if grass had grown in his heart. He couldn't taste the meatballs for a while.
