Border Cook

Chapter 175 Water Monkey

But Xia Mingyue didn't wait for Lu Qiyan to speak, and looked at Zhang Anyuan, "Does he have a favorite food?"

"I heard that he likes to eat mutton and drink soup." Zhang Anyuan answered truthfully.

Mutton and soup...

After thinking for a moment, Xia Mingyue looked at Lu Qiyan and said with a smile, "It seems that Captain Lu will need to go there in person tomorrow."

"Okay." Lu Qiyan nodded, and then asked people to look for fresh mutton early tomorrow morning.

"I'll have to thank you for your hard work tomorrow." Lu Qiyan felt a little sorry for bothering Xia Mingyue to help him.

Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you don't have to be so polite."

The smile was bright and beautiful, with a touch of gracefulness. If I had to describe it precisely, it would be very consistent with the bright moon in the sky tonight.

As the saying goes, a name reflects its person...

That's about it.

Lu Qiyan withdrew his slightly stunned gaze and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Seeing this, Wu Jin, who was standing by, looked very depressed.

Just know.

These eye-catching bags just like to steal the spotlight.

He was giving things away and grinning, afraid that others would not notice him.

It’s just that!

No, we have to find a place to fight, otherwise, some people really don’t know their own weight!

That night, after a busy wash and dressing, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep and rest.

Only Wu Jin wandered around the yard for a long time.

Fang Sanshui's house was spacious, the yard was big, and the walls were high, but there was nothing in the yard that Wu Jin wanted to find.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Jin looked at the sturdy tung tree growing at the base of the yard wall and finally made up his mind. After taking a few steps back, he sprinted and jumped, using the trunk of the tung tree as a stepping stone. He easily crossed the wall and landed steadily on the ground.

Covered in starlight, Wu Jin headed north.

Because Lu Qiyan is going to look for Fang Linwang tomorrow, he orders all soldiers to stop working tonight and not to go to the river to carry out construction at night. Therefore, the only people patrolling at night are near the river at this time.

Five people form a team, shuttling back and forth in their respective areas, taking over shifts every half an hour.

It was late at night and the frost was heavy. The burning torches could only illuminate a limited area. The patrollers kept their eyes open but also pricked up their ears.

Suddenly, the person at the front of one of the teams stopped walking, and the people following behind were caught off guard and almost bumped into him.

After he steadied himself, he opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with you, kid? Can't you even walk steadily?"

"There seems to be a dark shadow jumping over there..." The person speaking gestured with his hands, "but it's so tall and long, and its limbs are crawling on the ground. It doesn't look like a person."

Doesn't look like a human?

that……

"Could it be a water monkey?" someone exclaimed.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became extremely sober.

Wherever there is water, there are usually several lives lost and some not-so-good rumors. The Yongfeng River is no exception.

"Don't, don't talk nonsense!" The speaker's voice trembled a little, but he tried to remain calm. "You must have seen it wrong. We are five strong men, and we are afraid of this. If we tell others, we will be laughed at..."

Before he finished his words, a rustling sound was heard not far away. Taking advantage of the dim moonlight and the light of the torches in their hands, the five people all saw a shadow quickly rushing to the side.

Strong body shape.

The combat capability should be very strong.

The five of them were stunned for a long time, looking at each other again and again. "Suddenly I feel like I'm sweating a little."

"I want to go to the toilet..."

"..."

When he woke up in the morning, Wu Jin squatted in front of Xia Mingyue's door.

When the door was opened and Xia Mingyue appeared at the door, Wu Jin barked twice excitedly, then lowered his head and nudged something on the ground with his nose, pushing the thing towards Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue squatted down, rubbed Wu Jin's big head, and looked at what it was going to show.

It was a small pile of rocks.

They have different shapes and colors, but are all very uniform in size, about the size of a thumb or a copper coin. They look very nice when piled together.

Some of these small stones still had mud and sand on them, obviously they were picked up from the Yongfeng River in the north.

Wu Jin went to the river to pick up stones and came back...

"Is this for me?" Xia Mingyue picked one up and asked.

"Woof!" Wu Jin raised his head to show affirmation.

"It looks very nice, I like it very much." Xia Mingyue smiled and rubbed Wu Jin's head again.

Seeing this, Wu Jin barked excitedly twice again.

After seeing Xia Mingyue take a handkerchief, wrap the stones and put them away carefully, he even turned around several times in joy.

No wonder she always likes to give small stones as gifts, it seems that she really likes these things!

It was worth it that it stayed up all night last night and dug by the river for so long.

Wu Jin lay on the ground contentedly and yawned with his mouth wide open.

Breakfast was still delivered from the kitchen, and Lu Qiyan and Zhao Youcai ate it together.

The soft and sticky thick porridge made from cornmeal is full of fragrance, the pickled white radish is crisp and delicious, the steamed buns made from two-mix flour are soft and freshly cooked, and the kitchen specially makes a plate of tender scrambled eggs.

The eggs are fried at a perfect temperature, and are tender, fresh, not greasy, and taste great.

Xia Mingyue specifically asked the kitchen for an extra bowl of cornmeal porridge, soaked it with the bread she brought with her, and gave it to Wu Jin as breakfast.

But at this moment, Wu Jin was lying on his side on the ground, snoring.

"Wu Jin usually doesn't sleep well in the morning, what happened today?" Lu Qiyan was a little curious when he saw this.

"Maybe it's because I'm in a strange place and I'm not used to it." Xia Mingyue blinked.

You can’t guess what your furry child is thinking, so just appreciate it!
Seeing Xia Mingyue's mischievous smile and her secretiveness, Lu Qiyan knew that there was probably something going on, but he didn't ask any more questions.

According to Lu Qiyan's instructions yesterday, his subordinates bought the mutton.

A whole leg of lamb with some lamb spine.

Xia Mingyue borrowed the fire from the kitchen stove, put on an apron, and started to work.

Several cooks who were in charge of cooking in the kitchen rushed over.

Firstly, Lu Qiyan had specifically instructed him to lend a hand and try to prevent Xia Mingyue from overworking herself. Secondly, he also wanted to learn from Xia Mingyue.

They had all tasted the braised pork last night and felt that Xia Mingyue's cooking skills were really good. At the same time, they also felt that their own cooking skills were indeed far behind...

Although cooking in the military camp only requires ensuring that the food is full and cooked, and there is no need to pursue the taste too much, but as cooks, they have their due professional pursuits!

Of course, if you want to study with Xia Mingyue, you must say hello to her. After all, learning secretly is the most despicable thing.

So, the team leader personally took action, with a servile smile on his face, and came up to Xia Mingyue.
