Chapter 55:1 Happen to Like It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Of course, Rong Yan and the others didn’t go hunting in the past few days. Instead, they went to exchange information with the Cloud Division.
What was annoying was that they had just met when they were attacked by evil people again. They did not know how the news had leaked out.
Although there was no mishap this time, everyone was even more determined to keep their master’s identity a secret. They did not want to expose themselves in the Fortune Village to others. If they could not find a safe way to return to Jingcheng City, they would rather wait for an opportunity.
Ning Erlang’s guess was right. Every meal Rong Yan and the others had eaten in the past few days was as bad as chewing wax. To avoid exposing their location, they had specially made many big detours outside. The mountain roads were full of twists and turns. If they wanted to eat anything, they could only help it themselves.
The guards were good at using weapons, not in cooking. They would ensure they would not starve to death if they ate in the wilderness.
After returning to Fortune Village, Zhao Hu felt sorry for his nephew. He had good intentions and wanted them to have a ready-made meal. However, the things his wife brought over were all in the truest sense of the word. Yun Yi and the others would rather eat steamed buns. Unfortunately, Miss Ning did not make much sweet noodle sauce. Currently, it was only enough for their master. They could only imagine the aftertaste.
When they heard the knock on the door and saw the big bowl in Ning Erlang’s hand, the guards felt as if they had seen their savior. However, Yun Yi looked at his master worriedly. The girl next door seemed still to have no regrets and a crush on his master. They had just returned, and the delicious food was already sent over. It was simply… irresistible!
A moment later, Rong Yan, holding the bowl, fell into a deep confusion. He felt his body must have been too tired and slow these days. Otherwise, why would he accept this gift when he had already considered keeping a distance?
He shook the porcelain bowl in his hand gloomily. The amber-colored braised pork in the bowl twisted into an enchanting figure. It was indeed… coveting.
Ning Erlang said, “I’m also here to thank you. It’s your handcart, but we’ve been using it for so long. Thank you for your generosity. By the way, we bought one today too. We don’t need to trouble you in the future!” With that, he left cleanly, completely ignoring Rong Yan’s dilemma.
The amount of braised pork was very large. The guards distributed half of it to their master before sharing the rest. Of course, for safety reasons, they were also responsible for tasting it. However, after taking a bite, everyone only wanted to be moved to tears. It was very delicious! Why did it feel like even the chefs in the previous residence did not have such culinary skills!
Someone muttered, “Did she add extra sugar to the meat? What a coincidence. Master happens to like sweets.” Rong Yan stopped in his tracks. Yun Yi, who thought he knew everything, shouted secretly, “It’s not a coincidence! It was specially made for our master!”
Rong Yan sighed. He felt that it was a little difficult and useful. That girl looked simple, but she had put in a lot of effort for him. It was even more difficult for him to reject her heartlessly. Moreover, her dishes were fragrant, so much so that his rejection was getting weaker and weaker.
Others might not know, but as the guards’ leader, Yun Yi knew that although his master was born noble, he was not loved by his parents since he was young. Many people around him followed the situation, flattered the strong, and trampled on the weak. Therefore, his master could be as hard-hearted as iron when facing the enemy, but he could not be ruthless to the people who treated him well.
In Jingcheng City, General Xiao and his wife were the only ones who treated him sincerely without asking for anything in return. General Xiao’s son-in-law used to be an imperial chef, and he could cook delicious food whenever he wanted. His master, whom he had raised, was probably instinctively close to chefs.
Yes, he was also tricky. Before he met Miss Ning after leaving Jingcheng City, his master had suffered a lot in eating. Last time, his master had said that he would keep a distance from the Ning family if there was no need, but now it seemed that maintaining a friendly relationship with Miss Ning should be counted as one of the necessary conditions his master had mentioned.
As expected, Rong Yan said, “Send a pheasant or rabbit over there.”
He deliberately emphasized, “We can’t eat them for free..”
