Chapter 244 The Smell of Wu's Food
The carriage that Xue Qing and Jiang Yi were riding in set up a simple tent under a big tree, and then put up a simple small table in the carriage.
Then the two of them made a simple earthen stove, lit the fire and set up the pot. Soon a pot of steaming rice porridge was ready. Of course, this was not ordinary rice porridge. It contained shredded chicken, salt, and a little lard before serving.
The fragrance immediately spread throughout the camp.
Cheng Niu came over after smelling the aroma: "Brother Wu, the food you cooked smells so good!"
Before Xue Qing could say anything, Jiang Yi said, "I'll serve you a bowl of porridge."
He reached out and took the bowl from Guo Niu's hand and filled it up for him.
Seeing this, Xue Qing took out a piece of cake from his backpack and gave it to Cheng Niu. Cheng Niu took the cake from Xue Qing without any hesitation and simply sat down next to him and started eating.
Xue Qing and Jiang Yi served the porridge and placed it on the small table. They ate while chatting.
"Qing'er, why did the man in black suddenly go crazy?" Jiang Yi has always been curious, and now he finally has time to talk about this with Xue Qing.
Qing'er swallowed the cake in her mouth and said mysteriously: "Sister Yi, hey, I will call you Sister Yi from now on, haha."
Jiang Yi thought there was no problem, and urged again: "Well, tell me quickly, what's going on with that man in black?"
Seeing Jiang Yi's impatient look, Xue Qing simply put down his chopsticks, leaned close to Jiang Yi's ear and whispered: "Remember our mushrooms? I dried them and ground them into powder, retaining the toxicity, so that person was poisoned by the mushrooms."
He took a small packet from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Yi: "This is for you. If by any chance you run into someone more powerful than you, give this to him and I guarantee you'll have a good time."
Jiang Yi was so excited, this is a treasure! He quickly took it and put it in his arms.
Cheng Niu didn't listen to the two women talking. He just focused on eating and listening to the noises around him.
Cheng Niu lowered his head and ate the porridge in the bowl, when he saw a pair of feet stop in front of him. With a big mouthful of porridge in his mouth, he slowly raised his head to see who it was.
Gao Yizhen looked down at Cheng Niu and said, "Guardian Cheng, your porridge smells so good!"
Cheng Niu swallowed the porridge in his mouth and stood up: "Brother Gao's Qinggong is amazing!"
Xue Qing and Jiang Yi also saw Gao Yi coming at this time. After hearing what Cheng Niu said, they looked up at Gao Yi, as if they didn't notice when he came over.
"Is this person a ghost?" Xue Qing muttered softly.
Gao Yi was a martial artist, so even though Xue Qing spoke very quietly, he could still hear Xue Qing's words very clearly due to his good hearing.
"You were just too absorbed in the delicious food in front of you that you didn't notice my footsteps." These words seemed to be spoken to Xue Qing.
Cheng Niu chuckled and said, "Brother Gao, Brother Wu's porridge is indeed delicious, it's a pity that you didn't get to eat it."
Gao Yi said directly to Xue Qing: "Brother Wu, can you let me have a taste tomorrow?"
Jiang Yi felt something was wrong when he saw the two of them interacting with each other.
Xue Qing smiled secretly: "If you don't mind, Brother Gao, you can come and have dinner with us tomorrow."
Cheng Niu: "What delicious food are you going to make tomorrow? I will definitely come to help."
Xue Qing: "Okay, Brother Gao, there is still porridge, would you like to try it?"
Gao Yi's eyes flashed with pride, and he walked up to Xue Qing and said, "I'm almost drooling."
Xue Qing suddenly discovered how Gao Yi became so approachable after leaving the old man!
Silent all night.
The next day, there was just a hint of light in the sky.
The whole team had almost 100 people. They all got up early, went to the river to wash and make breakfast. It was a lively scene.
Xue Qing has always had the habit of sleeping in. Jiang Yi got off the carriage quietly, washed up simply, lit a fire to boil water, took out a piece of hard food from under the carriage, put it in the pot, and stirred it from time to time.
After the water boils, take out a handful of dry noodles and put them into the pot.
Soon a fragrance spread throughout the camp. Everyone smelled the aroma and wondered whose meal was so delicious.
You can’t even make this taste at home, let alone in the wild.
Xue Qing dreamed that she returned to her childhood and her grandmother stewed an old hen for her. Then she saw her grandmother holding a little girl of two or three years old and feeding her mouthful by mouthful.
For some reason, Xue Qing felt that it was his childhood.
Seeing how deliciously the grandparents and grandchildren were eating, she felt very hungry. She walked over slowly, but no matter how hard she walked, even if she ran, they were still not far from her.
Xue Qing couldn't tell whether she wanted to eat the chicken stewed by her grandmother or wanted to see her grandmother. She shouted loudly, but her grandmother couldn't hear her at all. However, the little girl looked up and saw Xue Qing following the sound.
The little girl smiled at her and babbled something.
Xue Qing was sweating profusely and shouted with all his strength. At this time, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice: "Qing'er, Qing'er, wake up!"
Xue Qing suddenly opened his eyes and saw Jiang Yi looking at him worriedly.
"Qing'er, did you have a nightmare?" Jiang Yi was really scared. He was afraid that he would have a fever like last time and be in a coma for a few days.
As soon as she finished cooking, she got in the car to call Xue Qing to eat. The weather was still very cold and the hot soup noodles would get cold in a while, so she quickly came up to wake Xue Qing up and go downstairs for breakfast.
Unexpectedly, I saw Xue Qing mumbling something again. After listening carefully, it seemed like he was calling Grandma, Grandma.
After a while, Xue Qing was sweating profusely and tears were streaming from her eyes. Jiang Yi was anxious and kept calling her. He touched her forehead and fortunately she didn't have a fever.
After a while, he finally woke up.
Xue Qing calmed down and said, "Sister Yi, it's okay. I just smelled the fragrance of the food you cooked, so I dreamed about it. And then you wouldn't let me eat it, so I was anxious."
Jiang Yi laughed and said, "You scared me to death." He took out a silk towel from the side and asked Xue Qing to wipe the sweat off his face.
As soon as the two got off the car, they saw Gao Yi walking towards them from not far away.
He was holding a bag and said, "Brother Wu, I'm here to eat. This is the dry food I brought."
Jiang Yi and Xue Qing already knew Gao Yi. Although he now represented Wenxiangju, Wenxiangju had a new owner, and she didn't want to vent her anger on Gao Yi because of previous events.
"Brother Gao, you're too polite. Let's eat together." After hearing Xue Qing's words, Jiang Yi took out three bowls and started to serve noodles.
Gao Yi had eaten at Xue Qing's house before and knew how delicious their food was.
The three of them sat together at a simple table and ate.
To outsiders, this was just three men having dinner together and there was nothing wrong with it. However, to Cheng Niu, he felt a little different.
Why does Gao Yi always run to Miss Wu?
After everyone finished breakfast, they started packing up and preparing to continue their journey.
The group was not walking very fast. In order to hurry on their way, they did not set up camp at noon. Everyone just ate some dry food and continued on their way.
