Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

The guards who had just eaten were already looking forward to today's dinner. Although the ingredients were simple, the brother-in-law's cooking skills were good and the food was much more delicious than that cooked by ordinary inn chefs. In fact, sleeping in the wild was not bad.

In the afternoon, the speed of the carriage did not change and it continued to move forward at a constant speed. Everyone knew that they would have to camp outdoors tonight.

Yan Yiyi learned that there was a set of chess in Hua Murong's carriage. In order to pass the time, Yan Yiyi suggested playing Gobang.

Yan Yiyi and the Hua family had played this chess game before, so Hua Murong was not surprised and directly took it out and started playing with Yan Yiyi. Xin Ye knew about this chess game but had never played it much, so he took this opportunity to watch and learn.

The three of them didn't bet on anything, just that whoever lost would quit and change players. Yan Yiyi hadn't played Go in a long time, and was defeated by Hua Murong at the beginning. Then it was Xin Ye's turn, and the rookie was defeated in seconds after just a few games.

The couple together could not beat Hua Murong alone. It was not until after a while that Yan Yiyi slowly regained her feeling and Xin Ye became more and more courageous, and the game began to go well.

"Master, Miss, and Son-in-law, are we going to rest here tonight?" Hua Bei's voice came from outside the carriage, and the few of them came back to their senses from the chess game.

Yan Yiyi lifted the car curtain and looked out. The sun was already setting. It was time to start preparing for tonight's dinner, otherwise it would be inconvenient if it got dark any later.

After the three jumped off the carriage, they looked at the environment and found it was indeed suitable for camping tonight, but as Yan Yiyi had said, there was no stream passing by.

After deciding to spend the night here, the others hurried to get started, some collecting firewood, some hunting. Yan Yiyi did not plan to go to the mountain, she suddenly remembered that she could actually get some sweet potatoes!

Ren Huaimin and the others thought that all the sweet potatoes had been planted in the fields as seeds, but Hua Murong didn't know that!

There was also corn, which he said was picked on the way here, but he didn't understand what it meant.

There are also bacon and dried vegetables, which can be said to be brought from home. Apart from vegetables, meat is easy to get.

"Then let's make some corn and fish soup tonight and cook some rice. I haven't eaten rice all day.

Then it’s grilled fish, nothing else, just some ginger and garlic.

There are bacon and dried vegetables, and roasted sweet potatoes, so we don’t have to worry about our small pot not having enough rice for so many people, we can eat sweet potatoes instead.

Finally, stir-fry the remaining water spinach. ”

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble my wife to find sweet potatoes and corn in the car." Xin Ye said in cooperation, "We don't have much corn, two or three should be enough."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yan Yiyi raised her eyebrows and smiled jokingly.

Hua Murong had no idea that the couple was playing dumb right under her nose. When she heard about sweet potatoes, her eyes lit up: "You brought sweet potatoes?"

Xin Ye smiled and scratched his head: "I brought it with me. Sweet potatoes are easy to store and they fill you up. I forgot about it before."

"Yi'er, come on, let me go get some sweet potatoes from you!" Hua Murong couldn't wait to take a look at the sweet potato and pushed Yan Yi'er towards the carriage. This was a grain crop that was valued and praised by the emperor, so she had to take a look at it.

"Get the basket, brother, get the basket!" Yan Yiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The sweet potato is on the carriage, it doesn't have legs, it can't run away~"

Hua Murong's ears turned slightly red from her sister's teasing, and she turned around to get the basket.

Yan Yiyi pretended to go into the carriage and rummage through the drawers for sweet potatoes, then smuggled some sweet potatoes out from the space warehouse and handed them out to Hua Murong one by one.

Hua Murong looked at the basket full of sweet potatoes of different sizes. Hey! To be honest, although there are not many, they are still quite heavy.

Ever since she got sweet potatoes, Hua Murong no longer joined in the fun and watched Xin Ye cooking, but instead took the initiative to take on the task of roasting the sweet potatoes.

There were three secret guards, two of them holding pheasants in their hands, and the last one brought back a handful of wild fruits in his clothes. As soon as they returned to their place, they could smell the overbearing and tempting sweet fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes from afar.

"Son-in-law, we hunted four pheasants. What should we do with them?"

Xin Ye looked at the boiling water in the pot. Fortunately, it hadn't been used to make soup yet. Corn and chicken soup would be more delicious tonight. "Wait a moment, I'll scald the chicken, and then you can pluck the feathers and clean the chicken."

"Master, Miss, I picked a lot of wild fruits here. They are sour and sweet and taste good." The last secret guard came over with the wild fruits.

Yan Yiyi glanced at the wild fruits he brought back. They were red and about the same size as wild plums, but she couldn't name them. Perhaps they were the specialty fruits of this dynasty.

"Not bad, it can be used as after-meal fruit. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, we deserve it."

"Miss, there is a mountain spring pond not far from where we pick wild fruits. It is a place with running water. If there is not enough water, we can go into the mountains to fetch a few buckets of water."

"Okay, killing chickens requires a lot of water. Thank you for making another trip. Be sure to come back quickly." Yan Yiyi stood up and took two wooden barrels to the secret guards. She poured the remaining water in the barrels into a large bowl.

"Yes." The secret guard took the bucket, used his lightness skills, and disappeared into the woods in a few seconds.

Hua Murong ordered the secret guards to rest. Xin Ye was busy preparing dinner, Hua Yiming helped to light the fire, Hua Murong was busy roasting sweet potatoes and fish, Hua Bei helped to roast the fish, and Yan Yiyi watched the four men prepare dinner for everyone.

The secret guards didn't dare to just sit on the ground to rest, so they flew up the trees to be on guard, which was also a way of resting.

This kind of guarding work is the easiest for them, but it seems that in the eyes of the young lady, they seem to be very hard-working, and a warm feeling surges in her heart.

"It's time for dinner!" Following Xin Ye's shout, everyone gathered around. With the experience of today's lunch, there was no need for Xin Ye to make any arrangements.

Hua Murong couldn't wait to taste the sweet potato. It was fragrant, sticky and sweet, and tasted really good!

"Brother, this corn is a new food we discovered. You should try it too." Yan Yiyi scooped a bowl of soup for Hua Murong. The soup contained chicken and corn.

Hua Murong took a bite and said, "This corn is sweet and crunchy, and the soup... the light fragrance of corn and chicken soup blends together, it's delicious!"

Yan Yiyi smiled and didn't respond. This corn is sweet corn and can be cooked into soup, eaten boiled, or fried. But wouldn't this give him the illusion that corn is rare and that there are not enough seeds?

"It's a pity that we don't have many corn seeds. When we go back and plant them, it's not time to harvest yet, so we can't bring them to our parents to taste."

"It's okay. When the harvest comes, you can have someone send it to Liangguan County, and then someone will send it back to Sand City for you."

"Yeah~ I didn't think of that."

Everyone talked and laughed and spent dinner time happily.

At night, Hua Murong asked the young couple to get on the carriage to rest, while he leaned against the bed and slept outside. Unexpectedly, Xin Ye went to the carriage and brought out a mat, mattress and blanket to spread on the ground. Hua Murong finally understood why the two were not in a hurry to travel, as they had already prepared everything for food and sleep.

If you are not in a hurry, this is indeed not bad.
