Female-to-male: I live on farming

They first went to Jinzhou to meet Gu Lanxi, and rested in Jinzhou for two days before setting out together towards Liangzhou.

Qin Ke originally thought that Gu Lanxi's team would be huge, but she only traveled with a few people, and even the carriage was an ordinary one. It seemed that she wanted to hide her whereabouts as much as possible.

The days of traveling were hard and boring. Sometimes it was too stuffy in the carriage, so Qin Ke would go riding with Lu Youqing to get some fresh air. Why did he have to drag Lu Youqing along? It was because Qin Ke didn't know how to ride a horse at all.

That's right, the most Qin Ke could do was drive a horse carriage or a donkey cart, and he had never learned the skill of riding a horse. He thought he might as well learn how to ride a horse while he was on the road. At this time, the two extra horses prepared by Lu Youqing came in handy.

Compared to Qin Ke, a country farmer who had never seen the world, Lu Youqing studied the Six Arts of a Gentleman when preparing for the imperial examination. Archery and horse riding were also required courses for her. Although she was not proficient in them, she was much better than Qin Ke.

Qin Ke coaxed and persuaded Lu Youqing for a long time on the road before he finally agreed to let her teach him how to ride a horse. There were many people in the group who were proficient in riding, so why did Qin Ke insist on letting Lu Youqing teach him?

Of course, it’s because they can take advantage of the teaching process.

Gu Lanxi was wearing a dark red military uniform, with the brocade cape on her shoulders fluttering in the wind. She was wearing a pair of black boots on her feet, which coordinated with the pace of the horse, showing her skilled equestrian skills.

She gently squeezed the horse's belly, pulled the reins and walked side by side with Lu Youqing. She glanced at Qin Ke who was sitting behind him and hugged her tightly, and said with a smile: "Madam Lu, if you want to learn how to ride a horse, I have someone who is good at it. Why not let him come? I guarantee that before we arrive in Liangzhou, Qin Langjun can ride independently."

Qin Ke did not miss the ridicule and contempt in her eyes. He curled his lips. He reasonably suspected that this was because Gu Lanxi was alone in a long-distance relationship and felt unbalanced seeing him and his wife being so affectionate.

"It's okay... my husband has made a lot of progress now." Feeling the arms around her waist tightening, Lu Youqing had no choice but to keep a straight face and lie with her eyes open.

Gu Lanxi did not miss Qin Ke's little move. She retracted her gaze and looked forward. Winter had not yet passed. The barren trees and bare branches stood in the cold wind, and the sunlight also looked cold.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the next town today. We'll probably have to sleep outdoors tonight."

Lu Youqing had no experience walking in the wild, so he had no objection to their arrangement: "We can just take turns to keep watch at night."

The world is not peaceful nowadays, but their group is so powerful that they are not afraid even if they encounter robbers. What's more, most of the people Gu Lanxi brought are extraordinary.

Seeing that it was getting dark, they found a drier flat ground to set up camp. After tying up the horses, they went their separate ways. Some were responsible for collecting firewood and making a fire, while others carried bows and arrows to hunt some game.

After they were released in June, they frolicked everywhere and followed people happily when they saw them going out hunting.

Except for her personal maid Qiu Tong and Gu Zhong whom Qin Ke had met before, the rest of the people Gu Lanxi brought were guards. They had long and thin daggers on their waists, sharp eyes and agile movements.

After traveling for so many days, everyone had become more familiar with each other, and they didn't mind the few little guys following behind them to join in the fun.

Later, after doing it more often, they were able to cooperate with each other. Not to mention, although June and the others were raised at home, there was still some wildness in their bones, and finding wild animals in the woods was their talent.

Qin Ke didn't know how to hunt, so he helped pick up some fallen leaves to make a fire. Fortunately, it hadn't snowed in recent days, so the fallen leaves and dead branches were very dry, so it didn't take much effort to start a fire.

I threw a few potatoes into the fire, put up a few thick branches, put the pot on it, and prepared to cook some porridge. In this cold weather, it is better to drink something hot.

Lu Youqing was beside him helping him.

Gu Lanxi sat aside and stared at him with interest, saying, "It seems that you are not completely useless."

Qin Ke found that since they had gotten to know each other better, Gu Lanxi was no longer so difficult to approach. On the contrary, she had recently often taken pleasure in making fun of and belittling him.

"Not as cool and elegant as the head of the Gu family." Qin Ke was not the kind of person who would swallow his anger. He glanced at Gu Lanxi who was sitting there waiting for the maid to serve him, and retorted in a sarcastic tone on the spot.

The weather did not warm up, so hunting was not easy. A group of people went out but only brought back a few birds. However, Fifteen ran back with a gray rabbit that was stiff and pretending to be dead in its mouth.

It slowly lowered its head, used its wet and sensitive nose to push the object to Qin Ke's feet. Then, it happily wagged its furry tail, and asked him for credit with its sparkling eyes.

"That's great. I'll give you some meat as a reward later."

Qin Ke rubbed its head, stared at the motionless rabbit, and ordered Lei Zhongdao: "Skin it."

Lei Zhong followed the guards to a farther place to clean the prey and dug a hole to bury the internal organs and blood. After all, they were in the woods and it would be bad if they accidentally attracted some wild beasts.

In ancient times, seasonings were limited, especially in the wild. When watching TV, it seemed that they were roasting wild game by the campfire, which looked very appetizing. In fact, with only salt, it could only ensure food and clothing, and forget about delicious food. The rabbit meat was tough and had no taste. Qin Ke really couldn't eat it, so he asked Lei Zhong to take it and share it, and gave the rest to the little ones as a reward.

He pulled out the roasted potatoes from the fire, peeled off the blackened skin, and handed them to Lu Youqing.

As for Gu Lanxi, Qin Ke didn't need to worry about her at all. Her personal maid had already prepared everything for her. Gu Lanxi held the still steaming potatoes and said with a smile, "Do you know how much a potato like this can be sold for in Caiyue Tower?"

The idea of ​​​​French fries was especially popular among children. Anyone who brought their children to her Caiyue Tower and Yaochi Fairy Bath would definitely order this dish.

"It is because things are scarce nowadays that they are expensive. When a new batch of seeds are planted in the spring, crops like potatoes have a high yield and the price will naturally go down." Qin Ke took a bite of the hot baked potato and felt that it would be better if there was some sugar.

However, there was no sugar, but he had chili powder. He had previously made some chili powder with dried chilies. He dipped a bite of it in his mouth. The potato had a slightly crispy texture, and the inside was soft, sweet, and exuded a rich potato aroma.

The spicy taste and the sweetness of the potatoes blend together to create a wonderful balance.

Seeing Gu Lanxi looking over curiously, Qin Ke picked up the small dish of chili powder and handed it to her, inviting her, "Do you want to try it?"

"Is this made from chili peppers?" Gu Lanxi guessed its origin after tasting it.
