Border Cook

Chapter 632 Fried Potato Pancakes

"You need to tell your people to go out and guide them, not to stop them. At the same time, inform the shops in the nearby town to double their prices because the roads are blocked by heavy snow and it is close to the end of the year."

Lu Qiyan said, "Half of this will be taken out by the store owner and mixed into various rice, flour and meat dishes for the servants to take away. The rest will be kept by the store owner, and the rest will be shared between the stewards here and the servants."

It can not only save the expenses on the way to the capital, but also help the local shops to make more profits, and at the same time reward the people in the villa.

The best of all three!

The money he spent was still from the Jin Wei Kingdom.

It’s so comfortable!

After hearing this, Xia Yunji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but give Lu Qiyan a thumbs up, "Sure enough, a brother-in-law is a brother-in-law..."

"That is……"

"He's just an old fox!"

As soon as Xia Yunji finished speaking, Lu Qiyan's smile froze, and he turned to Xia Mingyue to complain, "My wife, I am so innocent, do I look like a fox?"

simple?

Xia Mingyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

How can I describe Lu Qiyan? He is a man of great ambition, knows how to appoint the right people, is steady and mature, has courage and strategy, values ​​friendship, and is reliable...

It can be said that among so many advantages, the only word that has nothing to do with it is simplicity.

But seeing Lu Qiyan's pitiful appearance at this moment, Xia Mingyue stretched out her hand and touched Lu Qiyan's forehead, "Actually..."

“Foxes are cute too!”

So, even my wife thinks he is a fox?

but……

The lady seemed to like the fox very much.

Then it seems that there is no problem even if he becomes a fox?
Lu Qiyan blinked and moved closer to Xia Mingyue. "Then the fox is a little hungry tonight and wants to eat meat. Is that okay?"

Lu Qiyan was born extremely handsome, and his every move revealed that he was a gentle and unparalleled gentleman. At this moment, his eyes were full of charm, which was simply irresistible.

Especially when he was close to her, the warm breath he breathed into her ears intentionally or unintentionally made Xia Mingyue's cheeks slightly red.

It’s really confirmed that it’s a fox!

Suddenly I could fully understand how King Zhou felt.

With such a delicious fox by my side, who cares about other things...

In the evening, because Tao Kanglai sent people to buy a lot of meat, Jin Weiguo's meal finally had some meat.

As a result, there were fewer complaints, and Tao Kang felt much more at ease.

But when he thought about how he had spent much more money than he had imagined when he sent people to buy meat and other things, and it was obvious that Lu Qiyan was causing trouble, he gritted his teeth again.

Lu Qiyan, just wait for me.

I will make sure you don’t suffer the consequences!
Tao Kanglai had a huge tantrum, and then called his attendant Luo Qiu over.

At night, under the candlelight, the two talked for a long time, and then Luo Qiu took advantage of the night to come out of Tao Kanglai's room, and quietly slipped out of the villa while the guards were not paying attention. This scene fell into the eyes of Li Juncheng who had been standing by the window.

Then, he winked at the people around him.

The person next to him understood, opened the door quickly, looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he quickly followed.

The next day, the weather cleared up, the sun shone brightly, and the thick snow on the ground began to melt.

Once the snow starts to melt, the roads become muddy and even more difficult to walk on.

While the weather was still good, Lu Qiyan sent people to clear the snow on the road ahead to shorten the waiting time.

Li Juncheng also sent some of Jin Weiguo's people to go with him.

Tao Ankang did not show up and only said that he was not feeling well.

These were not big things, and Lu Qiyan did not take them to heart. He was just planning the mileage he would need to travel and the places he would need to rest every day.

Xia Yunji took people to look around.

Everyone will have to stay here for a few more days, so safety cannot be taken lightly.

Xia Mingyue set up a wok and started making some instant noodles so that she could eat them on the road after she set out on her journey.

Roll out thin noodles, steam them and then shape them, then fry them in a pan until crispy before serving. When making the noodles, Xia Mingyue even sprinkled some black sesame seeds on the noodles to enhance the flavor, so that they will be more delicious whether eaten dry, soaked or boiled.

When the instant noodles were almost fried, Xia Mingyue thought that since the oil pan had already been set up, it would be a waste if she didn't fry something else, so she simply fried some fried dough sticks as dry food for the journey.

Use leeks, tofu, eggs and vermicelli to make the filling. Use thick skin made from hot dough to roll out the dough to form small crescents. Fry them in a pan until they are fully cooked and the skin turns dark reddish brown.

The fried dough sticks have a burnt texture on the outer layer, but the overall skin is soft, the filling inside is rich and fragrant, and it is very delicious.

It tastes better when eaten hot, and after it cools down and the flavor settles a little, the aftertaste becomes stronger and also tastes better.

By the time the fried dough sticks are almost done, the potatoes steamed in the steamer over there are also cooked.

Steamed potatoes are mashed into a paste with salt, sweet potato starch and pepper. After fully mixing, they are made into small oval pancakes the size of one and a half palms, and fried in a frying pan until the skin is crispy.

The potato cakes fried in this way are really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a strong peppery aroma...

The aroma of fried food filled the entire villa and did not dissipate until after dinner.

At night, the weather is clear and the sky is dotted with stars. The whole sky looks brilliant and dazzling.

Since he didn't have to set out tomorrow and didn't have to go to bed early, Lu Qiyan had some free time and simply continued to read his speech to Xia Mingyue.

The last book "The Splendid Record" has been finished, and this time Lu Qiyan will talk about "The Record of Revenge".

This is a storybook about reasoning and solving cases. The male protagonist is the local county magistrate, and the female protagonist is a coroner affiliated with the county government. The two of them join forces to solve cases together, seek justice for the dead, and defend the victims.

The first case in this "Record of Grudges" is about a farmer's wife who fell into a well for no reason. The day before the wife fell into the well, she had an argument with her husband over trivial matters at home. The two of them spoke fiercely, and all the old grudges between them were brought up during the argument. They kept arguing with each other and neither of them gave in.

In the end, the two people's argument turned into mutual abuse and cursing, and words like "beat you to death" and "chop you up" were heard everywhere, causing the children in the family to cry in fear, and the neighbors came to watch and dissuade them.

Because of this incident before, now that the wife fell into the well, her husband was suspected of being the murderer, despised by everyone, and was even taken away by the county magistrate for interrogation.

But on the night her husband was taken away, another person fell into a well in the village. This time the victim was a 16-year-old unmarried girl from the same village...
