Chapter 146: Feeding
"Doing business?"
The shepherd looked incredulous.
Da Zhou has always looked down on the people outside their gates, and even the merchants in the border cities are reluctant to go out of the city, let alone others.
The shepherd quietly looked at Hua Qianyue, her fair skin, her two sword eyebrows rose into her temples, and her ink-like hairline was covered with a fine white hosta, and her crescent white clothes made her look even more extraordinary.
Looking at the other people who were handsome, ugly, tall, short, fat, thin, and all sorts of things, some of them looked at him very unkindly.
"They're the dart masters I hired."
Hua Qianyue explained as she noticed the shepherd's strange appearance.
Don't look at them as fierce, in fact, they are very good, and our caravan can come to the Mobei Prairie to rely on their protection.
Hearing this, the shepherd's face softened, and Hua Qianyue took the opportunity to invite him to lunch together.
The shepherd was still hesitating, Hua Qianyue had stuffed a hot duck meat roll into his wide palm, as the saying goes, 'Reach out and don't hit the smiling man', people can't throw it on the ground if they give you food with a smile, and he is indeed a little hungry now.
The smell of the meat went straight to his nose, and the shepherd almost heard the rumbling in his stomach, and he swallowed his saliva, and stood awkwardly, not knowing whether to put it in his mouth or ......
Hua Qianyue glanced at Huzi, who was also a smart kid and ran over.
"Daddy eats daddy eats."
The tiger happily urged the shepherd to push his arm with his little hand.
"Good, good."
The shepherd knew that this was given to him to go down the stairs, so he picked up the tiger and sat down on the grass, and then let the tiger sit on his lap, and took a bite of the duck meat roll himself, and let the tiger take a bite, and the father and son were happy.
Seeing this, Hua Qianyue filled a bowl full of duck meat rolls in a large blue porcelain bowl with green edges, and the small blue bowl contained three bowls of rich and fragrant bean sprout soup, and came to the side of the shepherd father and son with a vermilion lacquer tray, and handed over a bowl of soup to each person.
After eating all the food, he didn't care about the extra bowl of soup, so the shepherd naturally took it and took a sip.
"Good soup," the shepherd praised.
"It tastes really good."
Hua Qianyue picked up another bowl and took a sip and agreed.
With food as a medium, Hua Qianyue and the shepherd chatted while eating, and the two also made friends after a meal, and Hua Qianyue also learned that the shepherd's name was Amur, and Amr gave Hua Qianyue some cheese and a sheep in return.
Hua Qianyue simply exchanged grain and cloth with him for another ten sheep, so that tonight there will be a test for all the sheep to eat.
After lunch, they bid farewell to Amur and his son, and Hua Qianyue and others continued to march north.
"Miss, slave maid really can't understand, it's just a herdsman, why are you so good to people, eating and drinking."
Lan Xiang held her cheeks and looked at Hua Qianyue with a pair of phoenix eyes.
She wondered why the young lady had to go to the trouble of currying favor with an irrelevant herdsman when they were trading in the bazaar.
"Helu, tell her."
Hua Qianyue leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, and when she heard this, she opened a pair of beautiful eyes and looked at Helu and said.
Helu pursed her lips and smiled, "The slave doesn't say it well. ”
"I didn't let you take the top test, if there is anything good to say, just say it, say whatever you want."
Helu is good at everything, but sometimes she is too cautious.
"The slave said, you can't laugh at the slave if you say something wrong."
Helu smiled shyly, and sorted out her thoughts while combing the broken hair next to her ear.
"The people of the grassland live on horseback, they don't have a fixed place to live, and we can't get a shop like in the capital, and wait for customers to come to the door."
"Lan Xiang, do you hear that? Learn a little more from Heludo in the future. ”
"As Helu said," Hua Qianyue said, "they don't stay in one place for too long, and the next time you may meet them again somewhere, then they will take the initiative to introduce you to customers." ”
Flower Thousand Moon Xiang Orchid explained.
When the sunset dyed the sky red, Hua Qianyue and his party set up a tent and roasted the whole sheep around the bonfire.
Fan Lun rubbed to Hua Qianyue's side and watched Hua Qianyue sprinkle something on the whole sheep that kept rolling on the fire.
"Childe, I want to ...... I'd like to discuss something with you......"
Fan Lun hesitated and stopped, as if he had something to say and was embarrassed to say it.
"What?"
Hua Qianyue sprinkled a handful of cumin powder on the roast sheep again, and the cumin wafted around with bursts of meat aroma.
"I'd like to tell you about the meat rolls we had for lunch."
Fan Lun took a branch and unconsciously drew circles on the ground.
Duck rolls?
Hua Qianyue looked at Fan Lun's squirming appearance, "You don't like to eat?"
"No," Fan Lun threw away the branch, "I want to open a restaurant after I return to Beijing, and I will sell the meat rolls we eat for lunch, I don't know if the son agrees." ”
Although he used his heart to steal the master when he made meat rolls in the Huotou Camp, it must be the craft of other playboys, and it was always a little inappropriate not to get his approval.
Hearing this, Hua Qianyue looked Fan Lun up and down, dressed in a royal blue down robe, with thick cloud-toed boots, like a standard businessman.
"Childe didn't agree, so I didn't say it."
Seeing Hua Qianyue looking at herself like this, Fan Lun was a little discouraged when he disagreed.
"Brother Fan, do you know, it's a pity to want you to be a monk."
Hua Qianyue patted Fan Lun's shoulder hard.
"You are really a natural businessman, do you know, I have made a lot of food, many of which you have never seen before, and there are more people in the capital who have eaten my food, but no one has thought of opening a shop. But ......"
Hua Qianyue paused and said, "You can't make any money just by selling meat rolls, so it's better to do it bigger."
"How? Tell me about it. ”
Fan Lun's eyes lit up, and he was suddenly full of energy, and Hua Qianyue's words were more refreshing to him than the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Hua Qianyue's flickering eyes reflected by the firelight fell on the roasted whole sheep.
Mutton?
Seeing this, Fan Lun's eyes dimmed, indeed, mutton is warm and can not only resist the wind and cold, but it is the most suitable for winter consumption, but mutton has a nasty smell of mutton that makes most people stay away from it, so there are not many dishes made of mutton in the capital.
Hua Qianyue smiled faintly, cut a piece of roasted fat mutton that was charred on the outside and squeaky on the inside, and handed it to Fan Lun.
"Eat, eat, see."
Seeing Fan Lun's puzzled expression, Hua Qianyue said.
Fan Lun hesitated to take a small bite of the roast mutton that smelled very appetizing, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Was it just a hallucination of yourself?
The skin is crispy, the meat is delicate and tender, and most importantly, there is no trace of smell.
"You...... How did you do that?"
Fan Lun stared at the half bag of cumin in Hua Qianyue's hand with an excited expression, "Yes...... Is it because of the spice?"
"That's just a small part of the reason. Hua Qianyue said that the biggest reason is still in the sheep. ”
"I want to hear about it."
Fan Lun arched his hand and said, looking humbly taught.
If Fan Lun was grateful to Hua Qianyue at first, then now he admires the five-body throwing himself to the ground.
"Guannei sheep captivity for a long time, the living environment is not clean, and the grassland sheep run on the grassland most of the time, eating naturally growing grass, as the so-called, 'close to Zhu is red, close to the ink is black', and the sheep that step on sheep dung every day to live naturally have a heavier smell."
"I see."
