Lu Zhenzhen was rather curious about what kind of person Lin Dejiang's original wife was.
I think if I come to South Vietnam, I might be able to see him.
Retracting her thoughts, Lu Zhenzhen looked towards the group of people digging wild vegetables.
With strength in numbers, we quickly dug two baskets.
The originally green grass was now full of holes.
The weather was fine, the sun was warm on people's bodies, and a breeze was blowing. Everyone sat together, chatting and picking wild vegetables.
It is also a rare relaxation.
If it were modern times, Lu Zhenzhen would have put a picnic mat on the lawn, lie on it, cover her face with a hat, and bask in the sun.
Unfortunately, there are people all around, so I can only give up.
Not long after, Chef Chen emerged from the woods, his robe carrying a bunch of wild pine mushrooms. Smiling, he joined the river to wash them while chatting with Lu Zhenzhen, "Fourth Grandma, come see me at noon and I'll show you my cooking skills. These are fresh pine mushrooms. Use half for stewing chicken and the other half for making soup. I guarantee they'll make your eyebrows drop."
When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, her eyes lit up: "That's great! We've also picked some wild vegetables, including water spinach, dandelions, and garlic chives. We'll have a nice lunch at noon."
"Take out one of the hams and make two large pots of soup so everyone can have a taste."
Chef Chen gritted his teeth. That ham was really good stuff, authentic high-quality Xuanwei ham, so big and so thick.
Normally he would not do that, and would only use a knife to cut off a small piece each time, just to enhance the flavor and freshness.
We're going to do it all today, and only Lu Zhenzhen is so generous and magnanimous.
Knowing that Lu Zhenzhen was trying to sell it to the escorts, Chef Chen said, "Then I, Old Chen, must be the one to make this soup. Otherwise, this authentic Xuanwei ham will be wasted. A single ham costs dozens of taels of silver. We can't let it go to waste!"
As he said this, he went to drag a ham out of the carriage.
Everyone in the team has witnessed Chef Chen's cooking skills over the past few days.
Although only a few people have tasted it, everyone has smelled it.
So soon, the news spread throughout the team.
It immediately caused bursts of cheers.
With this motivation, everyone became more diligent.
They set up several large pots and started helping Chef Chen.
Chef Chen was in a rare good mood, and he wielded the ancestral kitchen knife with great vigor.
For a moment, there was a flash of cold light, and slices of ham as thin as cicada wings flew out from under the knife, drawing cheers from the onlookers.
Tang Liang was discussing the next itinerary with Fu Zhiyi by the river. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but laugh and scold: "One by one, just to get a little food, this is useless——"
The confidant next to him couldn't help but say, "Boss, Chef Chen's soup will be ready soon. Why don't you eat it and save your bowl for the brothers?"
Tang Liang immediately rolled his eyes: "You wish! You dare to steal my bowl of soup? Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back!"
The confidant groaned, and although he didn't say anything, his expression betrayed everything.
Tang Liang kicked his confidant away with a big kick, and tried to explain to Fu Zhiyi: "Master Fu, I'm not such a stingy person. It's just that Chef Chen's cooking is really delicious-"
As I said this, I felt a little embarrassed.
Fu Zhiyi smiled faintly: "Brother Tang, if you really like Chef Chen's cooking, why not do me the honor of having lunch with me?"
Tang Liang nodded repeatedly, fearing that if he agreed too late, Fu Zhiyi would go back on his word.
As they were chatting and laughing, the fragrance spread.
The people in the convoy couldn't wait to hold their bowls and stand in front of the big pots.
The big pot contains ham, pine mushroom and wild vegetable soup with fresh dandelions.
The soup is clear, with red ham color, yellow pine mushrooms, and green dandelions, which looks particularly beautiful.
The two cooks in the escort team were responsible for making soup for everyone, one bowl per person, absolutely no more.
On the fire next to them, the dry food that everyone brought was roasting, all of them were pancakes.
It is already roasted and exudes the unique aroma of wheat.
The escorts' lunch consisted of hot pancakes and a bowl of soup.
But those who are not particular or too impatient will not wait for the pancakes to heat up and will just eat them cold, and they will be satisfied with just one bite of pancake and one sip of soup.
Or some people break the pancake into pieces and eat it with soup.
The richness of the ham and the deliciousness of the pine mushrooms neutralize the bitterness of the dandelion and add a touch of freshness. It is so delicious when you put it in your mouth.
Everyone ate in silence.
Because Lu Zhenzhen said that everyone in the caravan would have a taste of it, the coachmen and the people from the Lin family also came to ask for it tentatively.
The cook readily gave each person a bowl.
After a while, two maids from the Lin family's female members came and said that their young master and mistress also wanted to try it.
The cook paused while making the soup and rolled his eyes: "If you want to eat, help yourself. One bowl per person, no extras."
The two women looked at each other, their faces somewhat embarrassed, and they muttered: "What's the big deal? Aren't you also taking advantage of others? Why are you trying to pick up a Qiao from us?"
"That's right, a bunch of peasants doing hard labor, don't forget that you are escorting our master, and it is our master who pays the money!"
These two husbands don't tolerate these two women.
He immediately put away the spoon and said, "Get lost! The rest of the food here belongs to us brothers. There's no room for you!"
The two maids were anxious: "There's still so much in the pot, why don't we have a share? Didn't they say everyone can have a taste? This soup isn't yours, it's from Master Fu's family! Our master wanted two bowls, how come there's no more?"
"That's right, this is simply too much! Don't you know who you are serving? If you provoke our master, you can forget about escorting the dart—"
I thought I could scare people by saying this.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, everyone present was indifferent and just focused on eating and drinking soup.
The two cooks, on the other hand, sneered, "How shameless! If it weren't for Master Fu, would your master be worthy of letting us escort you?"
"Get away from me! Don't stand here and dirty my land—"
As he spoke, one of them put down the spoon in his hand and raised the knife at his waist.
Those two old women had never seen such a ferocious escort who even offended his master.
He was so scared that he picked up his food bowl and ran back to complain.
After the two maids walked away, the only sound in the room was the sound of slurping soup.
Not long after, Lin Dejiang, with a look of panic on his face, asked someone to bring a bunch of things over. Without saying anything else, he just put down the things and apologized first.
What he said implied that his servant was wrong and had offended everyone, so he came here specially to apologize.
When the apology was spread out, there was meat paste, jerky, and a small box.
Fortunately, Tang Liang now knew that he had to use Lin Dejiang's caravan to conceal their identities, so it was not too difficult.
He politely accepted the apology and said nothing more.
Lin Dejiang said a lot of nice things before wiping the sweat from his head and saying goodbye.
