Leng Qiyue brought the food to the room. He had actually changed into a new mask, revealing his face. She had already made preparations for this meal.
Leng Qiyue put on a smile and placed the tray on the table. "Eat while it's hot."
You Yu frowned as he looked at the plate of Egg Fried Rice. It didn't look great on the surface, but it tasted good. He picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he saw Leng Qiyue's exceptionally sweet smile and immediately became alert. He put down the spoon and said, "Dry-mouthed. Drink some soup first." After saying that, he picked up the soup and took a big gulp, then immediately spat out the soup again …
You Yu's face was scrunched up. Although his mask blocked part of it, one could still feel how much pain he was in.
Leng Qiyue said with a face full of smiles, "Is it good to drink?"
You Yu grabbed the teapot and gulped down the water in front of his mouth. He was already full, and felt nauseous as he watched the Egg Fried Rice.
Leng Qiyue intentionally carried a plate of Egg Fried Rice and smiled, "Captain, come and try it. If you don't want to eat it, I must."
You Yu's face was full of fear as he shook his head like a rattle drum.
Leng Qiyue chuckled, she picked up her spoon and ate the Egg Fried Rice in one bite. When there was only one spoonful left, Leng Qiyue suddenly stomped on You Yu fiercely, causing him to cry out in pain. Leng Qiyue took the opportunity to stuff the spoon into his mouth and said, "It's very delicious."
You Yu took out a spoon and was about to get angry, but he felt that the food in his mouth was so delicious that he couldn't bear to spit it out.
Leng Qiyue stuffed the empty plate into his hand and said with a smile, "Aiya, I'm so full now. I need to go out for a walk." With that said, she swaggered out of the room, leaving Youyu by herself staring at the empty plate. The expression on her face was so wonderful!
Leng Qiyue was in a great mood as she wandered around the village with a smile on her face. She noticed that the men in the village were all very shy. All of them blushed when they saw her, lowered their heads, and ran away.
Leng Qiyue was extremely puzzled in her heart. It was not easy to encounter a masked woman passing by her, so she grabbed her and asked, "Miss, why do the men here look like ghosts the moment they see me?"
The young woman had a pair of beautiful eyes. Her eyes curved into a smile, "Miss, don't you know that you're extremely beautiful?"
"Huh?" "…" Leng Qiyue was stunned. But the girl is beautiful too. "
The woman's eyes dimmed as she lifted her hand to remove the handkerchief. There was actually an ugly scar on her face. "Lady, all of the women in our village are miserable. Everyone has injuries on their faces, which is why they are wearing masks."
Leng Qiyue was extremely shocked. No wonder all the women here wore veils.
The woman put on her veil and said, "The Captain is a good person. The places he took his brother to rob were all filled with unkind and unrighteous merchants."
Leng Qiyue curled her lips and said, "A good person? Didn't he go to Lijiang to rob for the disaster? "
The woman smiled again, "How could that be. A few days ago, he robbed a corrupt official's house and obtained 100,000 silver notes. He was going to Lijiang City this time because he heard that there was a flood and he rushed there to provide relief."
This time, Leng Qiyue was completely shocked. So this bandit leader was really a good person!
The woman continued, "The Captain seems to like you very much. He does have a little hobby, but it doesn't hurt. Lady, please consider it."
When Leng Qiyue thought of Youyu's hobby, she felt goosebumps all over her body. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "That's impossible. I'm already married, and my child is already one year old."
The woman sighed with disappointment on her face. "What a pity. The Captain is a rare handsome man."
Leng Qiyue smiled in embarrassment. "That's such a pity."
The woman smiled, "The captain treats you as a guest, so the lady can walk around and take a look. That person is a bit mischievous and might tease the lady. The lady should not be angry."
Leng Qiyue nodded and smiled in gratitude.
The woman smiled and said, "Alright, I won't chat with you anymore. I still have things to do."
"Mm, thank you." Leng Qiyue sincerely thanked him.
The woman nodded and left with small steps.
Leng Qiyue continued to wander around for a while before finally deciding not to cause any trouble for the men in the village. She turned around and returned to You Yu's room.
When You Yu saw that she had returned, he immediately stood up from his chair and said in a slightly spoiled manner, "Good elder sister, I'm hungry."
Leng Qiyue nearly spurted blood. She didn't expect that she would suddenly turn from a maid into a good older sister. She rolled her eyes in amusement. He sat on the chair that You Yu was sitting on a moment ago and said casually, "Elder sister needs some tea."
You Yu quickly poured a cup of tea from the teapot and respectfully served it to her. "Big sister, have some tea."
"En, be good." She accepted it and drank it. After finishing her tea, she sat there playing with the teacup, completely uninterested in getting up.
You Yu asked tentatively: "Is big sister tired? "It's almost noon now, can you …"
"Ah, I ate so much in the morning. I'm not hungry even now. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to have my afternoon nap." After saying that, Leng Qiyue climbed onto the bed and closed her eyes.
You Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he stood by the bed. He had no other choice, after all, his second hobby was to eat. After eating for eighteen years, only that mouthful was the best in the world. If he wanted to eat more, he could only endure it.
Leng Qiyue slept for two hours. When she woke up, she saw You Yu staring at her like a puppy begging for food. She was also a bit hungry and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry. "
You Yu eagerly brought out a plate of rice cakes and said ingratiatingly, "I specifically ordered someone to go down the mountain to buy this. Try it."
Leng Qiyue picked up a piece of meat and took a bite, then put it down. "It's too sweet, it's not good."
At this moment, someone said from outside the door, "Regiment Commander, Auntie Hong told me to bring you some snacks. She said that we'd have a nice meeting today, which was considered a greeting gift. She originally wanted to deliver it herself, but Auntie Li called her away."
Leng Qiyue thought, "Aunt Hong? It's the girl I saw today, right? "
You Yu said: "Bring it in."
A man walked in carrying a basket. He saw that Leng Qiyue was also blushing and lowering her head …
You Yu took the basket and said: "Go."
The man quickly ran away …
You Yu took out a stack of pastries from the basket. It didn't look like it was made of rice. Each of them was in the shape of a golden flower, which was very alluring. She picked one up and put it in her mouth... Wow, it was actually made from corn. It should be sticky corn, otherwise, it would be difficult to form without flour.
"This is delicious!" Leng Qiyue praised.
You Yu said ingratiatingly, "Aunt Hong is the most delicious cook here. It's a pity that she doesn't cook often. Only when she's in a good mood can she make a few dishes. She's also a bitter woman."
Leng Qiyue asked, "How did you get the scars on her face?"
You Yu said: "She had a greedy mother. When she was ten years old, a brothel fell in love with her. She wanted to spend a high price to cultivate into a Courtesan Belle. So her mother sold her for 500 taels of silver." When she found out, she broke a bowl and cut her face. The old procuress saw that her face was ruined, so she snatched back the silver and walked away. Hong's mother beat her up and chased her out of the house. She made a living by begging, and then she saved a chef who taught her to cook to repay her gratitude. Unfortunately, the imperial chef was implicated by the events in the palace and had his head chopped off.
He paused before continuing, "I once stepped on a plate and saw her being bullied by drunkards, so I rescued her and placed her in a mountain stronghold."
Leng Qiyue was very sympathetic to Aunt Hong's matters. She said, "She didn't plan for her own future? We can't stay here forever. "
You Yu laughed, "She said that her biggest wish is to open her own restaurant."
Leng Qiyue smiled slightly, making up her mind. "Lend Aunt Hong to me for a few days."
You Yu said without hesitation: "No problem, I'll do it in a few days."
Leng Qiyue finally lifted up her noble buttocks and walked towards the door. As she walked, she said, "I'll go to the kitchen to get some food. Tell Hong Shi to find me."
"Alright, alright, alright …" You Yu nodded with all his might, like a greedy cat.
Leng Qiyue giggled and walked towards the kitchen. Her impression of You Yu was much better now.
Aunt Hong soon arrived at the kitchen. Leng Qiyue began to teach her how to cook. Just as they were preparing the last dish, the sound of fighting came from outside …
