Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 241 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (31)

"Brother, what delicious food do you think that girl across the street is cooking in her pot? It smells so good of meat that it makes my mouth water."

"I saw that she looked very tired and had a small bag beside her. I thought she was also on the road."

"But ordinary people are on the road, so they don't have the luxury of bringing any meat with them. A few whole grain biscuits are good enough to fill your stomach."

The man he called big brother tore off the hardened pancake in his hand, blocked his younger brother's mouth, and scolded him in a low voice.

"Eat your own food, why are you staring at others all day long?"

"We have food with us, so why would we covet the things of a weak woman?"

Hearing the scolding from his elder brother, the younger brother felt a little aggrieved. He puffed up his cheeks and muttered while chewing the hard pancake.

"I didn't think too much about it. I was just a little curious."

"We've been chewing this pancake all the way, and it's getting harder and harder. It's just like chewing a rock. It hurts my teeth!"

"If I keep eating, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Lingzhou!"

The eldest brother was filled with helplessness. He didn't expect that his brother, who had been with him throughout the country for so long, would act like a child at the last moment.

"Just bear with it for a while. We are not far from Lingzhou anymore. We will arrive soon."

"When the time comes, I'll report to my boss and get my reward. There will be plenty of good food and wine. Why would I worry about this meal?"

"After you've had enough, I'll take you to have a good rest for a while, okay?"

The two were a pair of brothers who traveled the world. The elder brother was called Deng Xian and the younger brother was called Deng Hou. They usually earned commissions by running errands for their employers.

They are now planning to return to the capital of Lingzhou to report to their employer.

When I heard that I still had to walk a long way, I suddenly felt exhausted and vented all my complaints of the past few days.

"My dear mother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, brother, I've done so many things with you, you know I'm not someone who can't endure hardship."

"I can bear other hardships with gritted teeth, but I haven't tasted food that suits my taste for quite some time. I finally get to smell some fragrance, but I have to endure your scolding."

"It's really bitter in my mouth, and even more bitter in my heart. I wish I could be like Sun Wukong, who can fly a thousand miles with a somersault cloud and go wherever I want in the blink of an eye."

The eldest brother, Deng Xian, has been out making a living for quite some time. He has traveled a lot, seen a lot, and suffered even more.

Queen Deng only caught up with him and worked with him in recent times, so naturally she is still a little uncomfortable and has more complaints.

Looking at his brother who was wailing continuously, helplessness flashed across Deng Xian's face. His gaze shifted frequently, and he was struggling over whether he should go up and beg for some food.

Jiang Qiuchen overheard the discussions here, but did not feel offended. He just thought that the two brothers were quite interesting.

Although he was distracted for a moment, Jiang Qiuchen did not stop his actions. The chopped bamboo shoots and crispy wild onions were skillfully added into the pot one by one.

Although the conditions are simple and the seasonings are limited, these ingredients still burst into wonderful flavors in the boiler.

Jiang Qiuchen took the wooden spatula and stirred gently left and right to allow each ingredient to be further perfectly blended in the pot.

The soup rolled and boiled like a volcanic eruption, and bubbles jumped happily in the pot.

An irresistible aroma, accompanied by rising white vapor, permeates the air, quietly invading everyone's sense of smell.

Now even the usually calm Deng Xian couldn't ignore the aroma. He ate the cake more and more slowly, and glanced at this place several times secretly. In the end, he simply stopped eating and just stood there in a daze, holding the cake.

Compared to Deng Xian, Deng Hou was more greedy and his saliva couldn't help but flow out from the corners of his mouth.

No! If he didn't eat something hot, he really wouldn't have the strength to walk to Lingzhou.

Queen Deng raised her right hand, spread out her sleeves, and wiped the corners of her mouth fiercely to wipe off the crystal luster. Then she poked her eldest brother's chest with her elbow and spoke.

"Brother! I really can't stand it anymore! Don't you want to have a hot meal?"

"It's such a big pot. They are just an old man and a woman. They may not be able to finish it."

"I'll go up and ask her. If I give her some money, she'll definitely be willing to share some with us."

Deng Xian lowered his head in silence, feeling a little conflicted, but he watched Jiang Qiuchen use a broken bowl to serve the bacon and young bamboo shoots, filling a bowl for himself and the old woman respectively.

A bite of meat, a bite of bamboo shoots, it tastes so delicious.

Another breeze blew gently, and the sour and refreshing taste intertwined with the smoked and salty bacon, floating in the air, it was simply fascinating!
"I have made up my mind! Big brother, you don't have to worry about it. I will go up and ask!"

"It will definitely work if we deal with them in a friendly manner!"

Queen Deng took out a small purse from her bosom, poured out some silver from it, estimated that it was enough, and trotted over.

The closer they got, the stronger the aroma became. Queen Deng could hardly walk, her eyes fixed on the remaining meat in the pot.

Seeing the tall and strong man walking towards her, the old woman was a little scared. She moved back a few steps with the bowl in her hand, pulling Jiang Qiuchen's sleeve, not knowing what to do.

"Little girl, why did that person come here suddenly? Is he trying to steal food?"

"If all else fails, give him my share. Don't let him take yours away!"

Although she was also very scared, the old woman still tried her best to protect Jiang Qiuchen behind her.

Jiang Qiuchen was moved, patted the old woman on the shoulder and spoke softly.

"It's okay, they shouldn't be bad people."

"Old lady, please sit down and eat. I'll take care of this."

After hearing Jiang Qiuchen's words, the old woman hesitated, but as an old lady, she couldn't help much, so after pushing and shoving a few times, she finally sat down.

"Girl, let me have a discussion with you!"

"This pot of meat you stewed is so delicious that I can't resist it! My brother and I have been traveling for many days, sleeping in the open air and eating poorly."

"Now I suddenly smell your meat and I am so greedy that I want to do business with you and buy two bowls of meat."

"Do you think this price is acceptable?"

After saying that, Queen Deng opened her palm, and a piece of silver lay quietly in her palm.

Jiang Qiuchen stopped putting food into his mouth and looked over.

Queen Deng stared at Jiang Qiuchen's expression and seemed a little nervous. After all, this was the first time he asked for food from a girl he didn't know.

If I get rejected, it would be somewhat embarrassing.
