Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

"What a coincidence!"

Luo Xiaoran pointed at herself and Du Kongqing and said, "We live in Hexi Village, which is only separated from Hedong Village by a river."

"I see that Master Sun has a lot of things on his stall and he has been very busy on the road, so why not come back with us?

Anyway, it's on the way, I'll cook a few dishes for lunch, and it will be Chen'er's apprenticeship banquet. Kong Qing, please help Master Sun clean up."

Du Kongqing felt that Sun Qingyuan was a sharp-tongued and dishonest person, and was very difficult to serve.

But for Luo Xiaoran's sake, he still went forward and tried to help Sun Qingyuan close the stall.

"Stop it! Are you afraid that I will run away? Why are you taking me home in such a hurry? I still have a piece of writing to finish."

Sun Qingyuan had never seen such a scene before. He became a teacher without knowing it and was even forcibly taken back home.

"Why bother writing? You can't sell a single painting a day. It's a waste of effort.

Don't stop, Miss Kong Qing, let's go visit Sun Qingyuan's home in Hedong Village."

Wang Changbo had never known Sun Qingyuan's address, but now that there was a ready-made opportunity in front of him, of course he had to go and join in the fun.

"Wang Changbo, this place is already in chaos enough. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved. Aren't you afraid that your father will find out and break your legs?"

"No, no, my father always reminds me at home to pay more attention to Brother Qingyuan, which is also worthy of the friendship between our two families.

It was you who had been keeping us away from you, and I only knew where you lived thanks to Miss Toro."

"Since Mr. Wang is interested, why don't you go with me? Let's go to Mr. Sun's house first, unload all the items from his stall, and then go to my house for lunch."

Kong Qing ignored Sun Qingyuan's obstruction. She just listened to Luo Xiaoran's orders and cleaned up Sun Qingyuan's stall neatly, showing off while cleaning up:

"Xiao Ran's cooking skills are unmatched by ordinary people. Even the chefs in the restaurant may not be able to cook Xiao Ran's dishes.

I'm inviting you to eat, which is a bargain for you, but you're still making excuses."

Sun Qingyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows, and his lazy expression faded a little: "Your young lady looks like a rich young lady from a secluded courtyard, how could she know about the kitchen."

You little girl are blowing on the ground, and a group of cows are flying in the sky.

Du Kongqing neatly put Sun Qingyuan's things into the carriage, turned his head and snorted coldly: "Judging people by appearance, superficial!"

Luo Xiaoran quickly came in to smooth things over: "Okay, now that we have packed our things, let's go back quickly."

I still have to make lunch, but it’s great to have two more grown men helping me.

Wang Changbo's servant drove the carriage in front to lead the way, with his son and Sun Qingyuan sitting in the carriage.

Luo Xiaoran and her two companions were still driven by Du Kongqing, while Luo Xiaoran and her brother Luo Xingchen were also accompanying her outside the car.

At the fork in the road near Hexi Village, turn onto another road and you will reach Hedong Village.

It was noon when we entered the village. There were not many people on the road. I guess they were all cooking at home.

But when passing by the farmland, Luo Xiaoran realized that she was wrong.

Most of the villagers in Hedong Village were still working in the fields and had not yet returned home for dinner, nor were any of their families bringing them meals.

There are still dozens of families living in blue brick and tile houses in Hexi Village, showing their unique family conditions.

There were only a few houses in Hedong Village. Everywhere there were walls made of yellow mud, roofs made of wheat straw, and many of the houses were in dilapidated condition.

"I heard that the situation in Hedong Village is not as good as that in Hexi Village. Today I see that it is indeed true, but I didn't expect the difference to be so big."

Luo Xiaoran couldn't help but sigh.

When Du Kongqing heard Luo Xiaoran mention Hedong Village, he quickly told her what he knew:

“I heard that Hexi and Hedong were originally one village a few years ago, but later more and more military households were mobilized from above, and chaos occurred again.

Later, in order to avoid crowds causing trouble, the authorities used the Dandan River as the boundary to divide Hexi Village and Hedong Village. "

Luo Xiaoran's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she became interested. "What happened?"

"I don't know about this either. I just heard my father mention it vaguely, and it seemed that someone died." Du Kongqing replied.

The two carriages slowly drove deep into the village and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched house by the river.

In the middle of the room were two narrow wooden doors, fastened casually with a rusty iron lock.

There was a window on each side, but the window paper was torn. The house didn't even have a yard.

After opening the door and putting all the items from the stall into the house, Luo Xiaoran glanced into the house from the door frame. All the furnishings were old, but clean and tidy.

It seems that although Sun Qingyuan is decadent and unruly in his mood, he still has requirements for his living environment and his own cleanliness.

Wang Changbo was standing beside them in astonishment. He grew up with Sun Qingyuan and naturally knew how superior his living environment was in the past.

Compared to now, it's like heaven and earth.

No wonder Qingyuan didn't want to let me know where he lived. I guess he was afraid of losing face.

Thinking of this, Wang Changbo put away his joking thoughts and just felt sorry for his brother's experience and was angry at his brother for not fighting back.

Sun Qingyuan felt mixed emotions at this moment.

Now, in front of two young girls he had just met, his future disciples, and his brothers who were as close as brothers, he displayed the shabby thatched hut where he lived on the table.

Once upon a time, his Sun family was a family as powerful as the Wang family. He never thought that it would fall to such a state!

Sun Qingyuan clenched his right fist, as if he had thought of something, and then slowly loosened it.

"Okay, now that we've unloaded the stuff, please come to my house for a small gathering."

Luo Xiaoran asked Du Kongqing to drive in front and lead the way.

Sweet and sour fish, braised pork, stir-fried chicken with green onions, braised lamb, shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried green beans, cold cucumber and peanut salad, and red date, wolfberry and white fungus soup, making a total of eight, filling the table.

"It's just as Miss Kong Qing said. These are all dishes I've never seen before."

Before all the dishes were served, Wang Changbo clasped his hands together, clapped his hands, and started praising the dishes first.

After all, even if you don’t look at the appearance of the dish, his contribution in peeling garlic is also part of it.

"You're already praising me before I even put the food in my mouth. You're really good at flattering me. If it doesn't taste good later, I want to see if you can pretend to taste good."

Sun Qingyuan hummed beside him, not happy with Wang Changbo's dancing style.

Of course, he also disliked Luo Xiaoran, but he didn't dare to say it, and could only mutter in his heart:

Preparing a banquet to pay homage to the teacher and asking the teacher to wash the vegetables himself is too ungentlemanly!

"Then just give it a try, and don't overeat later!"

Du Kongqing brought the braised pork that had just come out of the pot and placed it on the table.

But he glared at Sun Qingyuan fiercely, thinking that the guy's stinky mouth was really asking for a beating.

Luo Xiaoran served the last of the porridge, distributed the steamed buns, and said:

"The dishes are all here, let's eat."

Wang Changbo was just waiting for this sentence, and took the lead in picking up a square piece of braised pork with a slightly red sauce:

"Well, wonderful, wonderful!

If I'm not mistaken, this is the most common pork in the market, but I've never seen it cooked this way, and it has a unique flavor. Qingyuan, come and try it!"
