Border Cook

Yes, that must be it!

So even Lu Qiyan did not hesitate to read it carefully and was able to describe the plot accurately, which shows how much he values ​​this book.

Then this book must be a good book!

Li Juncheng suddenly realized and even bowed to Lu Qiyan, "This storybook sounds very interesting. I wonder if Commander Lu has it with him. I would like to borrow a few. If it is inconvenient for Commander Lu, you can tell me where I can buy it and I will send someone to buy it."

"I do have this book with me. If the Second Prince wants to borrow it, it's fine. I'll lend it to you. It's just..."

Lu Qiyan was a little unsure, "Does the Second Prince really want to read this book?"

After all, when Li Juncheng heard that the last book he read recently was a storybook, he seemed very unbelievable and even thought that he was suspected of cheating.

Are you suddenly interested in this storybook now?

The attitude changed so quickly that he found it hard to accept for a moment.

"Seriously!" Li Juncheng nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice, and his face was full of sincerity, making people believe that he was not joking at this moment.

Lu Qiyan frowned slightly, unsure of what Li Juncheng was going to do, but he still took out the book he was carrying and handed it to Li Juncheng, "This book is for the Second Prince."

When Li Juncheng saw that Lu Qiyan actually carried this book with him, he felt that "Jinxiulu" was a rare good book, and he felt that his guess was correct.

When he heard that Lu Qiyan wanted to give him this book, he was flattered, "Thank you, Commander Lu!"

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. Since Commander Lu is willing to give it up, there is no reason for me not to return it. I will give this ring to Commander Lu. Please do not despise it and accept it!"

After saying that, Li Juncheng took off the gold ring on his thumb and stuffed it into Lu Qiyan's hand.

Lu Qiyan couldn't refuse, so he had to bow and thank him, "Thank you, Second Prince."

"Commander Lu, you're too polite!" Li Juncheng chuckled and handed the "Jinxiulu" to the attendant beside him, asking him to keep it carefully.

Actually, he wanted to flip through the book right now, but the sun was very strong and dazzling today, and he was on horseback, so it was easy for him to feel dizzy. He also felt that if he was so impatient, he would appear to be calculating, so he had to give up and wait until he had free time to read it.

Lu Qiyan held the pure gold ring in his hand, feeling a little complicated for a moment.

This book, "Jinxiu Lu", was a new storybook he had specially looked for before returning from Jinqiu County a few days ago. At that time, he even asked the shopkeeper whether Xia Mingyue had read the storybook. When he learned that it had not been sold to the public yet, he happily bought it and read it carefully after arriving at the military camp.

The purpose was to prevent Xia Mingyue from getting bored during this long journey, so he just told him the story.

As a result, Li Juncheng suddenly asked about reading the book. When he told him the truth, Li Juncheng became very interested in the book and gave him such a valuable gift in return?
Why does this always feel weird?

But seeing how happy Li Juncheng is...

Maybe it’s because he is really interested in dialogue books and thinks that dialogue books like "Jinxiulu" are very interesting?

Lu Qiyan thought so.

The journey lasted from morning till noon.

Seeing that it was already noon, Lu Qiyan and Li Juncheng discussed and decided to rest and cook on the spot, and then set off again after eating. The peace delegation led by Li Juncheng and the soldiers led by Lu Qiyan both brought a lot of supplies and cooking utensils. The two sides had different eating habits, so they simply didn't overly polite, and just tacitly cooked their own meals.

On Li Juncheng's side, there was a whole roasted lamb, sorghum wine to go with the rice, and the very popular pancakes in their Jinwei country.

Lu Qiyan quickly propped up a large pot with relatively flat stones, poured the braised pork belly he brought from the military camp into it, cut some potatoes, radishes, and cabbage into it, put in a handful of vermicelli, and finally scooped in a few spoonfuls of white lard...

When cooking this big pot dish, white flour and corn flour are mixed together to make pancakes, which are then stuck to the edge of the iron pot.

By the time the big pot of dish is cooked and thoroughly flavored, the pancakes will also be fully cooked and can be eaten together.

The big pot dishes cooked in the big iron pot are the most flavorful, and the crispy edges at the bottom of the pancakes become more fragrant the more you chew them, and they taste extremely delicious.

In addition, this big pot of food includes meat, vegetables and soup, and it tastes steaming hot. It is a great enjoyment for people who have been traveling for half a day.

Filling, delicious, and comfortable!

The soldiers ate very happily. After Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji met Li Juncheng and others, they came to find Xia Mingyue to have lunch together.

In addition to the same big pot dishes and flatbreads that the soldiers ate, the cook also cooked them a dish of pickled cabbage, a dish of stir-fried meat, and an extra egg.

The portions are not large and the dishes are not exquisite, but they are cooked fresh and eaten while hot, which is especially enjoyable when eaten in such an environment.

Xia Mingyue's stomach was empty at this time, so the food tasted especially delicious.

After eating and drinking and taking a short rest, everyone set out again.

On the way, Lu Qiyan looked at the map, then looked at the sky, and ordered to travel faster.

"This place is quite far from the post station where we can stay at night. We need to travel faster in the afternoon, otherwise we will have to travel overnight, which is not very safe." Lu Qiyan explained to Li Juncheng.

"That's fine. Commander Lu can make the arrangements." Li Juncheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and spoke to Lu Qiyan. "I caught a cold a few days ago. Although I have recovered in the past two days, I still feel a little weak all over. I will not ride the horse with Commander Lu. I hope Commander Lu will forgive me."

"Your Highness is too polite. Please have a good rest. I will not bother you any more."

Lu Qiyan bowed, and Li Juncheng also nodded slightly and put down the curtain in his hand.

When he noticed that Lu Qiyan's horse outside the carriage was gradually moving forward, Li Juncheng, who was originally leaning in the carriage, immediately sat up straight, took out the "Jinxiu Lu" under him, and began to read it.

He looked at each picture carefully and seriously, looking at it twice before turning the page.

Xia Mingyue, on her part, was still feeling sleepy after eating, so she simply didn't try to wake herself up and just allowed herself to continue sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji just looked back and forth, and still one was in the front and the other was at the back, urging everyone to speed up.

The sun gradually sets, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the western sky with a fiery red, stretching everyone's figures even longer.

Seeing the warmth gradually fade away and the yard getting colder, Mother Gui reminded Old Madam He who was resting on a recliner in the yard. (End of this chapter)
