"Hey, there's a stable in the back, no wonder I can hear the horses barking occasionally." Dong Rong was really distracted, and asked in a low voice, "Is Yun Rui the idea of running away on horseback, you tell him not to worry, I will discuss it with His Royal Highness in the next few days, if he escorts us back to Daqi, it would be better, if he... It's never too late for us to figure it out. ”

"Okay, don't worry, madam, I'll tell my brother."

Zizhu answered in a low voice, and finally brought the tray to the master. Dong Rong saw that it was white porridge again for lunch, and she felt acid reflux in her stomach, and said helplessly, "Is there nothing else to eat, although I say that I want to eat lighter if I am infected with the wind and cold, but I can't eat white porridge every day." ”

Zizhu was also aggrieved and persuaded, "Madam, you don't know, people here eat beef and mutton on weekdays, as well as milk cubes and fried rice. This white rice was specially taken back by His Second Highness to Uncle Sude from the Khan's palace, otherwise you will have to nibble on mutton every day. That fishy taste, I was disgusted after a few meals. ”

"Who said that beef and mutton are unpalatable, as long as it changes its shape, it tastes good." Dong Rong's stomach was clean for a few days, and when she suddenly heard that there was meat to eat, she immediately overflowed with gluttonous saliva. She pulled Zizhu with great interest and ordered, "You go find a small copper pot, and you need some spices." Find some good mutton and cut it into small pieces, send it over together, and let's stew a mutton pot to eat. ”

Zizhu is used to seeing his master's sick appearance these days, and suddenly heard that his master was going to make food, so happy that he almost shed tears, and ran to Uncle Su De to ask for something after answering.

Although Su De was only in his forties, he was extremely curious like an old naughty boy, and he heard his Royal Highness instruct the nobles he served well to make food, so he immediately asked people to prepare the ingredients properly, and finally personally brought them to the yurt with Zizhu.

Dong Rong heard Zizhu say that Su De was the chief butler next to His Second Highness, so she got up and bowed halfway, and said with a smile, "I've been sick for a few days, thanks to Uncle Su De for helping Zhang Luo eat food and medicine soup, thank you so much." ”

Su De's family has been the domestic slave of the Khan for generations, and although he follows the Second Highness, he has some face on weekdays, but he is occasionally scolded by nobles. Now he suddenly saw the noble person on the tip of His Royal Highness's heart saluting and thanking him, and he was so frightened that he was about to kneel down as soon as his legs were weak.

"The slave doesn't dare, the nobleman is serious."

Zizhu stood beside him, quickly helped him, and said with a smile, "Uncle, our lady is very kind, she said thank you sincerely, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Su De secretly glanced at Dong Rong, and saw a faint smile on her face, looking helpless and curious, but there was really no trace of disdain. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little warm in his heart, and even his back straightened a little.

"The slave is not afraid of the noble, but he really can't afford the nobleman's thanks. Our Second Highness has an explanation, we must serve the nobles properly, if the nobles want to thank you, thank our Highness in person. ”

Su De originally thought that he was creating an opportunity for Dong Rong and His Royal Highness to make contact with Dong Rong and His Royal Highness, and Dong Rong would definitely be happy. Just like the women who live in the small yurt room at the back, which one is not trying every possible way to get to the side of the Second Highness. Especially recently, even the niece of Dafu Jin's mother's family has been dressed up and walked around, just looking forward to His Royal Highness taking a look at them more.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that Dong Rong is completely different from those women, and he can't wait to grow wings and fly back to Daqi immediately, and it is not rare to be favored by His Royal Highness at all.

"No matter what, it's all for Uncle Xie Sude, even Yun Rui and Zizhu must be taken care of by you on weekdays." As she spoke, she pointed to the tray with various colors of ingredients and slices of meat and smiled, "I want to stew mutton in a while, if Uncle Sude doesn't dislike it, stay and taste it fresh." ”

Su De blinked, and felt that something was wrong in his heart, but when he heard the nobleman's invitation, he still refused with sincere fear, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave gives the nobleman fire." ”

As he spoke, he hurried to the middle of the yurt by the fire, bent down and blew up the firerope, and then lit the thatch and a few pieces of dried cow dung very neatly.

Zizhu rolled up his sleeves to brush the copper pot, turned his head and smiled, "Madam, you can tell me how to do it, but you can't do it yourself." This cow dung smells so choking! ”

When Su De heard this, he said, "We burn this all day long, but I don't think it smells bad. It's better for you to be together, I heard that there are trees everywhere, and there is no shortage of firewood. ”

Dong Rong nodded and interjected, "The world is big, and there are advantages and disadvantages everywhere. Although we are not short of firewood, we can't see so many cattle and sheep, and we can't see such a vast grassland. ”

There is no one who doesn't like people to praise their hometown, Su Dele is so happy that his face seems to be blooming, and he is very attentive after being busy.

According to the instructions, Zizhu blanched the mutton pieces and then stir-fried them with minced garlic, added a little soy sauce at the end, and stewed most of the pot with hot water. Dong Rong also wanted to put some radishes in it, but when the words came to her mouth, she remembered that there was no here, so she changed her tone and asked, "Uncle Su De, do you have dried mushrooms here, if it's convenient, help me take some and put them in the meat pot, it tastes better." ”

In the summer of the savannah, countless mushrooms will emerge after each torrential rain. Herders have passed down a lot of experience from generation to generation, and they know best which mushrooms taste good, so they carry a basket on their backs when they go to herd sheep, and often save a few bags of dried mushrooms in autumn. His Royal Highness has a large number of slaves, so naturally there is no shortage of these things, so Su De happily agreed, and finally personally led people to the treasury to get a small copper basin full of mushrooms.

Dong Rong washed the mushrooms with warm water with her own hands, and when the mutton in the copper pot boiled, she threw the mushrooms into it and turned it to low heat to stew.

Soon, the white water vapor overflowing from the copper pot filled the yurt room, mutton and mushrooms were mixed together, and the aroma released hit the mouth and nose, and anyone who sniffed it couldn't help but bend the corners of their mouths.

Su De originally knelt in front of the fire, but later saw that the nobleman was smiling and smiling, and he was indeed very kind, so he secretly changed to sit cross-legged. Dong Rong and Zizhu talked about the exquisite food in the south, and Su De said that the horses on the grassland would be lively, so they talked and laughed and laughed at each other, but they were much closer to each other.

Yun Ruixu smelled the fragrance outside, and soon ran back, followed by Wu Qien. Zizhu got up and pulled the handkerchief to whip the dust on his brother's body, and complained, "Brother, where did you run away again, why did you roll up in the dirt?" Next time, I'm not going to do your laundry. There was no soap horn here, and the clothes were still thick, and they sank into the water. ”

Yun Rui scratched his head and said with a grin, "I practiced wrestling with Brother Wuqien, he fell on my heels seven or eight times, and he blamed him for dirty clothes." ”

Zizhu glared at his brother, and began to help Wu Qien slap his clothes again, "Brother Wu Qien, you can't teach this apprentice, and before he left the school, he began to betray the master." ”

Ukien was tall and big, but Zizhu was very thin, and she struggled to jump up and wipe Ukien's shoulder as she spoke. Seeing that her little face was flushed with exhaustion, Uqien hurriedly bent down and replied in a muffled voice, "Okay, I won't teach him in the future." ”

Zizhu finally cleaned up the two of them, and then drove them to sit by the fire, and said with a smile, "Madam, everyone is together, let's have dinner." ”

Dong Rong was taking the porridge bowl and putting it on the edge of the fire to heat it, and when she heard the words, she responded, "Okay, there is no rice or steamed buns, what staple food should I eat?" ”

Zizhu uncovered the tray beside him, pointed to a few milky white tofu-like things on it, and smiled, "Let's eat this, madam, you can taste it too, it tastes very fragrant." ”

Dong Rong lowered her head and sniffed the milk tofu, only to feel the smell of milk, so she quickly twisted her head to the side and said, "I'll eat porridge first today, and I'll taste it later!" ”

Everyone laughed, and they all set up the table to prepare for dinner.

As soon as he walked to the door of the yurt, he heard the laughter inside, and he opened the door with joy and asked with a smile, "Why is it so lively today, huh?" What a fragrant taste, stewed meat? ”

Suddenly seeing him come in, the time in the yurt seemed to be frozen for a moment, and the silence was embarrassing. Su De was the first to jump up from the edge of the pond and bowed down in response, "Back to Your Highness, Mrs. Dong has stewed mutton, and the servants are helping to light the fire." ”

Wu Qien also half-knelt down and saluted, and echoed with some weakness, "Subordinate, subordinate help..."

"Alright, let's all get up." Geriletu glanced at Dong Rong, who was smiling, and said lightly, "Since Mrs. Dong invited you, you are guests, so you don't need to be polite." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Sud and Uqien both got up, but they didn't dare to talk and laugh casually anymore.

Zizhu pouted and took a cushion and put it on the main seat of the dining table, and Geriletu sat down in a big way. Dong Rong looked at the restrained crowd, so he ordered, "Zizhu will take out two bowls of mutton and leave it, and serve the rest to serve Wu Qien and Uncle Su De." I have something to discuss with His Royal Highness, and you will come and serve after you finish eating. ”

"Yes, ma'am." Zizhu hurriedly divided two large bowls of mutton and a few pieces of milk tofu, and then withdrew with everyone with a copper pot.

Su De walked at the end, and happened to see His Royal Highness set up the dishes and chopsticks and sent them to Mrs. Dong, and at the end, he sandwiched a piece of mutton and sent it to her bowl, and his movements were extremely skillful. And Mrs. Dong didn't seem to feel that she should be apprehensive and grateful, and she didn't even say thank you.

He wanted to look at it twice, but the sharp eyes of His Highness's knife had already swept over, and he quickly shrank his head and ran away. As a result, he was thinking about the whole meal, and he was very emotional, this Mrs. Dong really cultivated Buddha in her previous life, otherwise how could she be so favored by His Royal Highness in this life? You must know that His Royal Highness doesn't even have a smile on other women, and now he actually makes dishes for her in person...

Zizhu saw that the mutton and mushrooms in the copper pot were about to be eaten by Wu Qien and his brother, so he quickly grabbed a spoonful and poured it into Su De's bowl, and finally urged, "Uncle, aren't you hungry, hurry up and eat." ”

Su De came back to his senses, swallowed the mutton in his mouth, hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Purple girl, did you see it just now?" Our Highness will give your lady another cloth..."

Zizhu was eating milk tofu in a big gulp, and when he heard the words, he replied nonchalantly, "Oh, I see, what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?" Su De couldn't help but raise his voice, "That's the second highness of our Dajin Kingdom, how can a woman eat after that!" ”R638
