Border Cook

Chapter 177 No time
"Wait a minute." Lu Qiyan raised his hand to stop him, then bowed towards the house and said, "Excuse me, is Master Fang at home?"

The voice fell, but there was no response from inside the house.

But a shadow flashed through the window of the house.

Lu Qiyan saw it clearly and asked again, "Excuse me, is Master Fang at home?"

The volume has increased by 30% compared to before, and it is louder and more penetrating.

This caused Zhang Anyuan next to him to cover his ears.

The originally quiet courtyard door suddenly made some movement.

The door of the house was kicked open with a clang, and a short, hunched old man with sparse gray hair rushed out of the house and pointed at his nose and shouted, "Why are you howling here in the middle of the day?"

"My name is Lu Qiyan." Lu Qiyan bowed, "You must be Master Fang."

"That's me." Fang Linwang raised his chin, and when he looked up at Lu Qiyan and the soldier in military uniform beside him, his brows furrowed, "People from the military camp?"

"I heard that the people in the military camp have been busy building bridges and roads everywhere recently. Since you found this place, I guess you want me to help build the bridge?"

"Exactly, I don't know..."

"I'm busy!" Fang Linwang interrupted Lu Qiyan, "Don't even think about it!"

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked into the house.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and shouted at Lu Qiyan, "If you keep howling here, don't blame me for scolding you to death later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly returned to the house and closed the door tightly with a "bang".

Lu Qiyan even heard the sound of the door being bolted.

Seeing Lu Qiyan frowning slightly, Zhang Anyuan hurriedly said, "This Master Fang is just like that. Captain Lu, don't take it to heart..."

Xia Mingyue, who was watching this scene from behind the curtain in the carriage, smiled and said, "Master Fang is indeed very special."

It seems that we need to show some sincerity.

And I hope that these sincerity can be welcomed...

Xia Mingyue got off the carriage and with the help of Lu Qiyan, she moved all the charcoal stove, earthenware jars and other things out of the carriage and placed them outside Fang Linwang's low courtyard wall.

There was a charcoal stove simmering all the time, and the mutton and mutton bone soup that had been stewed in the earthenware pot was almost boiling.

At this moment, Xia Mingyue simply opened the lid of the earthenware jar and took a small palm-leaf fan to fan the fire in the charcoal stove a few times.

The fire grew bigger, and the soup in the earthenware pot soon began to boil, with large bubbles bubbling up.

The hot air mixed with the unique aroma of mutton bone-nourishing soup wafted away, and Xia Mingyue even deliberately used a cattail leaf fan to drive the hot air mixed with the aroma into Fang Linwang's yard.

Soon, the rich fragrance filled the entire courtyard...

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open forcefully and Fang Linwang appeared at the door.

He first raised his head slightly, sniffed a few times, and then smacked his lips. When he discovered that the fragrance came from outside the courtyard wall, his eyes suddenly lit up.

But when he found that those people had not left yet, and were looking at him instead, with a mysterious look on their faces... Fang Linwang's face suddenly darkened, and he rushed to Lu Qiyan and the others again, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Thinking of using this method to get him to agree to help build the bridge?

What about fishing?
Why, he is so easy to talk to, but he would abandon his principles just for a stutterer?

Not to mention that this is definitely not the case, even if this method is really correct, will your mutton soup definitely taste good?
What are you thinking!
Fang Linwang sneered at the behavior of the people in front of him.

Xia Mingyue took a wooden spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup from the boiling earthenware pot slowly, and then brought the bowl to Fang Linwang. "Since the mutton soup is already cooked, before we leave, Master Fang, would you like to taste it for saltiness?"

Taste salty or sweet?
Fang Linwang glanced at Xia Mingyue sideways, but did not reach out to take it. He even snorted coldly, "I don't drink any mutton soup."

Why should I give you a taste?

Don't try to get close to me!
"Indeed, but this mutton soup is a little different. I'm sure Master Fang will like it after drinking it."

After Xia Mingyue finished speaking, seeing that Fang Linwang was still indifferent, she smiled and said, "How about this, if Master Fang feels that the taste is not good after drinking it, we will leave immediately, without any hesitation."

After drinking some soup, they can walk happily...

Fang Linwang thought for a moment, then reached out to take the bowl from Xia Mingyue, "You said it, if you don't leave after drinking, don't blame me for being rude!"

A bunch of guys who won't turn back until they hit the wall!

Fang Linwang brought the bowl to his mouth angrily, blew away the hot air, and then drank the entire spoonful of soup in the bowl in one gulp.

The rich, fragrant, delicious taste immediately spreads in the mouth...

Fang Linwang was stunned.

After savoring the wonderful taste in his mouth and even licking his lips, he looked at Xia Mingyue in surprise, "This soup..."

"Master Fang, do you think it tastes good?" Xia Mingyue smiled.

Does it fit...

After thinking for a moment, Fang Linwang's expression suddenly became serious. He handed the bowl in his hand to Xia Mingyue and said, "I just wanted to send you away. I drank too quickly and didn't taste the saltiness of the food..."

I need some more!
Xia Mingyue naturally understood what Fang Linwang meant, and also knew that he was too embarrassed to say it out loud at this moment, so she did not point it out. She just took the bowl from Fang Linwang's hand and scooped two more spoonfuls of soup for him.

This time, Fang Linwang, who received the bowl, did not gulp down the wine like before. Instead, he blew away the hot air and drank it in small sips.

As the saying goes, fish and mutton are fresh, the mutton tastes the most delicious, and the mutton soup tastes the most delicious.

Moreover, the mutton soup is stewed for a long enough time and not many seasonings are used. While completely removing the fishy smell of mutton, it also retains and stimulates the delicious taste of the mutton itself to the greatest extent.

Therefore, the stewed soup is not too strong in taste, but has a light and refreshing taste. However, the delicious taste of the mutton is indeed enough to make people never get tired of drinking it.

After Fang Linwang drank half a bowl of soup, all he could think about was having another bowl...

No, it's a pot!
After finishing half a bowl of soup, Fang Linwang's appetite was completely aroused. He did not say anything about changing his attitude to save face, and directly put the bowl in Xia Mingyue's hand, "Give me some more!"

"Of course you can have more." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "But it's already lunchtime, and I'm afraid I won't be full just by drinking soup. How about some staple food?"

As he spoke, Xia Mingyue took out the pancakes that he had prepared in advance, the mutton that he had fished out, the vermicelli and other ingredients.

Seeing this, Fang Linwang's eyelids drooped, and he put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Young lady, are you planning to use this mutton soup to soak your steamed buns?"
