Chapter 85 Making Dinner

Zhu Yue looked at the setting sun in the distance and said lightly: "It's up to you."

Qin Liu followed his gaze and saw the mountain col in the distance, and remembered an important thing: "Sir, if you come to the grassland in winter, you must pay attention to avoid the mountain col like that over there. It is said that there is a heavy snow nest behind, and horses come in." Death, people enter and people die..."

Zhu Yue turned to look at her in surprise, his eyes meaning unclear.

Qin Liu didn't look back.She didn't understand military tactics, but the little mute said casually not long ago that after she went back and thought about it, she always felt that there was something important to do but couldn't remember what it was.

It suddenly occurred to me at this moment.The last time Zhu Yue led his troops deep into the grassland, fortunately it was summer. If he fell into the trap of the Mongolian soldiers in winter, he would not have to be killed by the enemy, and he would fall into a snow nest and freeze into an iceman.

It wasn't until the sun completely set and the dusk was sinking that Zhu Yue said, "Let's go."

Qin Liu carefully walked down the hillside, thinking about what to do for a while.

The meal sent by the guard at noon included fried wild leeks. I wonder if there are any leftover wild leeks. It would be best to make leek and meat dumplings.

She doesn't know how to cook Mongolian food. There is a lack of various seasonings and ingredients on the grassland, and she can't make any flowers. It's better to return to nature.

She went directly to Old Man Lou, who took her to the yurt where she was cooking to see if there were any leftover wild leeks.

She took some more mutton and flour and prepared to cook.

Old Man Lou pouted and asked her to go back to her yurt, and thoughtfully helped her bring the ingredients there.

In Qin Liu's own yurt, the eldest young master Zhu Yue was sitting on the only chair. Miss Tao was making tea and respectfully placed the teacup on the only table. The table was sitting next to Zhu Yue. before.

Qin Liu's forehead twitched, and he and Old Man Lou put the ingredients on the table, not far from Zhu Yue's tea cup - this scene was a bit embarrassing.

It feels like Yangchun Baixue and lower-class people are mixed together, which is very incompatible.

Qin Liu awkwardly placed the chopping board, mutton and kitchen knife next to the teacup, and went to scoop up water and wash the leeks himself.

Xiaotao stretched out her hand in confusion, not knowing what to do.

She is a big maid who only does some fine work and cannot do these rough jobs.

But the girls she had to serve were all busy, and it was too inappropriate for her, a maid, to stand by and watch.

Xiaotao followed Qin Liu closely, feeling aggrieved and not knowing what to do when she saw her busy so quickly.

Qin Liu quickly instructed Old Man Lou who was about to escape: "Uncle, please help me chop the meat."

Old Man Lou chuckled. After a while, the chopping board began to buzz rapidly, and the teacup on the table also beat loudly and rapidly.

As for whether the tea was splashed all over Zhu Yue who was sitting upright, Qin Liu, who was squatting on the floor washing vegetables, could not know.

She picked and washed the wild leeks several times, and poured the last washing water outside the yurt. When she came back, the mutton mince was minced very finely and smoothly. Qin Liu sighed: "Master Zhu, look at the knife skills of the Yanzilou guy." Bar?"

The words were spoken to Zhu Yue.

She could see that there was an unresolved conflict between Old Man Lou and Zhu Yue - the relationship between the "master and apprentice" was very strange.

Zhu Yue had no respect for his teacher at all, and his face was a bit smelly, while Old Man Lou had a somewhat guilty and evasive attitude.

Coupled with the previous injuries on Old Lou's face, Qin Liu had every reason to doubt that Old Lou's words were true - he was probably not Zhu Yue's Kung Fu teacher!Old Man Lou finished chopping the meat and wanted to run away, but Qin Liu stopped Zhu Yue before he could answer and called out to him: "Uncle, you are a good knifeman, please help me cut these leeks by the way!"

After saying that, her eyes swept across Zhu Yue and landed on Old Man Lou.

Old Man Lou stood at the door of the tent with his shoulders hunched. He had just opened the tent curtain with one hand and said with an awkward smile: "Old man, I still have something to do. You go first, go first, Xiaotao, come with me."

Zhu Yue spoke: "Senior nephew Lou, a clerk should act like a clerk. You don't listen to my uncle, and you don't listen to shopkeeper Liu..." The voice was extremely cold.

yo!

Qin Liu stopped holding hands with the flour, turned his head and raised his ears, as if he was watching Dagua.

When Old Man Lou heard Zhu Yue's words, he put down the door curtain and turned back to the table. He arranged the washed wild leeks and picked up the kitchen knife Luck. With a little anger and murderous intent.

Qin Liu's eyes widened, and he grinned in surprise and heartache.

Old man Lou's knife skills are so complicated, he just cut a wild leek, but why did the vegetable fly into the air, and why did the kitchen knife disappear without a trace?
If the knife is crooked, will it hit Mr. Zhu Yue who is sitting in front of Mr. Lou on the right side?

Mr. Zhu was so courageous. The kitchen knife was dangling in front of him without even blinking.

But why are there so many wild leeks on the table? !

Mr. Lou, you just want to be cool because you are disrespectful. It is shameful to waste vegetables, okay? !

Vegetables are scarcer than meat on this grassland!
Qin Liu was not afraid of Old Man Lou's murderous intent, but in the end he still did not dare to shout out these words. After Old Man Lou finished playing with the kitchen knife, he motioned to Xiao Tao who was standing aside to pick up the wild leeks scattered on the table and on the ground and wash them with water. clean.

Xiao Tao finally looked away from Old Man Lou and Zhu Yue. After picking up the wild leeks, she expressed her protest: "The ones that fell on the ground are already dirty, can't they be eaten?"

Qin Liu saw Old Man Lou and Zhu Yue having an eye-to-eye fight over there, and quickly said to Xiao Tao: "What does it mean if it falls on the ground? It's still growing on the ground! Wash it, chop it up, and put it together with the minced meat."

Qin Liu finished cooking the noodles quickly, pulled aside Xiao Tao who was holding a kitchen knife and trying to cut wild leeks with his eyes closed, and ordered Old Man Lou: "Go and get the salt for me."

Old Man Lou finally looked away and went to get the salt silently.

Qin Liu was stirring the stuffing while directing Xiao Tao, who was still standing still: "Go and add some firewood to the stove."

Xiaotao left in response, squatting in front of the stove and almost crying again: "Girl, there is no firewood here..."

Qin Liu nodded at the basket beside her: "Isn't that the basket of dried cow dung? Just put it into the furnace."

Xiao Tao put her hand into the basket and retracted her hand as if she had been pricked by a needle. She repeated this three or four times before finally giving up: "Girl, girl, I can't do this! This is excrement!"

Qin Liu raised his eyebrows and sighed: "You are really indifferent to grains and grains. What's wrong with the dung? Herdsmen on the grassland burn dung to cook rice every day. They also say that the rice cooked with dung is particularly fragrant. ! If you don’t want to grab it with your hands, just use the fire tongs next to it.”

Xiaotao didn't say anything else, but used the tongs to grab the dried cow dung and stuffed it into the furnace.

Qin Liu was keenly aware of Zhu Yue's subtle frown.

what!
The young master and the maid from this wealthy family are equally squeamish.
