Chapter 118: Providence Makes People

It's a good idea, and if it weren't for the idea of making a wrench, Downing would have taken it.

But now that Tang Ning thought about it, he still gave up Qiu Ling's idea, after all, he deliberately kept a low profile when he was hunting in autumn, and he didn't hunt any fierce beasts, but now he can't say anything about hunting fierce beasts.

Tang Ning smiled: "It turns out that you are greedy, don't you just want to eat prey, although there are no fierce beasts in Nanshan, but there are still some common prey of pheasants and hares, next time I will bring you some." ”

Qiu Ling pursed her lips and smiled: "Then thank you Lord Dusi, but today there is really only porridge and side dishes!" ”

Tang Ning smiled: "I'm here to eat porridge and side dishes today, try your craftsmanship!" ”

Qiu Ling got up with a smile and said, "The cook lady in your house is a royal gift, I can't compare, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the appetite of Lord Dusi." ”

Tang Ning shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm used to eating the food they cook in the big camp, how can you not compare to those soldiers, right?" ”

Qiu Ling came to the well with green vegetables, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her skin-like plain wrists, and said with a playful smile: "That's not necessarily yelling!" ”

Tang Ning walked to Qiu Ling's side, watching her wash and choose vegetables like a cloud, and her posture was graceful, which made Tang Ning feel warm and homely.

Washing vegetables, washing rice, and cooking, Tang Ning has been quietly watching from the side, and suddenly yearning for such a life in his heart.

In fact, Qiu Ling was just joking, how could her cooking skills not be as good as the soldiers in the camp. Although I haven't eaten it yet, just this color and fragrance can throw off a few streets of military men.

Although Tang Ning felt that he was quite good at cooking, he had to bow down after seeing Qiu Ling.

Tang Ning sighed: "It smells so fragrant, it's much stronger than what I did!" ”

Qiu Ling smiled in surprise while serving the dishes: "You can also cook?" ”

Tang Ning smiled: "The children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and I started cooking when I was ten years old!" ”

Although it is a small dish of porridge, it is full of color and fragrance, and it makes people appetizing whether they look at it or smell it. After Qiu Ling laid out the dishes, Tang Ning couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and taste them.

Sure enough, he lived up to his expectations, and Tang Ning stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "It's delicious!" Delicious! I regret not coming to eat earlier! ”

Qiu Ling Wan'er smiled: "Is it so exaggerated? Your chef is a gift from the emperor, the dignified Dusi, the delicacies of the mountains and seas at home, eating this porridge and side dishes is to taste fresh. ”

Tang Ning shook his head and kept eating, and soon finished a bowl of rice, while Qiu Ling ate extremely delicately. Seeing that Tang Ning quickly finished pulling out a bowl of rice, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a tempting arc.

This feeling is indeed excellent, Qiu Ling picked up Tang Ning's empty bowl and served him rice, Tang Jing looked at it quietly, and muttered: "Qiu Ling, what are your plans?" ”

Qiu Ling put the bowl full of rice in front of Tang Ning, and asked suspiciously: "Plans?" What is the plan? ”

Tang Ning said with a serious face: "You are free now, you see that you are so beautiful, and virtuous, you cook so deliciously, and you are very knowledgeable, you are definitely a model of husband and child, you don't plan to live your life by yourself, right?" ”

"Am I that good? There are many beautiful girls, but as for being virtuous, what woman is not virtuous? Qiu Ling's eyes wandered, and her eyes kept wandering over Tang Ning's body.

Being a little embarrassed by Qiu Ling's gaze, Tang Ning lowered his head and began to pick up rice. Qiu Ling snorted and laughed: "Lord Dusi won't take a fancy to me, right?" ”

Burst! Cough! Cough! Tang Ning directly sprayed all the rice in his mouth into the bowl, even though he did have a little meaning in his heart, but Tang Ning didn't want to confess anything.

It's just a little temptation, but I didn't expect Qiu Ling to break it directly, is it so obvious?

Qiu Ling got up with a smile and picked up Tang Ning's bowl and came to the well to wash it again, Tang Ning looked at Qiu Ling's back a little embarrassed. She didn't notice that Qiu Ling looked very stunned when she turned her back to him.

When Qiu Ling turned around, there was still a playful smile on his face, and he pursed his lips to reserve Tang Ning's rice.

Tang Ning coughed dryly and explained: "I'm just asking you about your future plans, if there is anything I can do to help, I'll try to help!" ”

Qiu Ling raised his head and looked at Tang Ning, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "I once said that in this life, you must go to Orange Mountain once, I want to go to Orange Mountain!" Do you want to go to Orange Mountain? ”

Tang Ning nodded and shook his head: "I want to go, but not now, I will definitely go someday in the future!" That would probably be a long, long time later. ”

Qiu Ling lowered her eyes with some disappointment when she heard this: "Really?" ”

After this conversation, the atmosphere was a little delicate, and after eating, Tang Ning left the small courtyard. Walking down the street, Tang Ning's originally good mood became a little gloomy.

Qiu Ling, who saw Tang Ning go away, was very disappointed in his heart, if Tang Ning was not the commander of the official residence, then maybe he would agree to go to Orange Mountain together.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people.

It was only after returning to the house that Tang Ning regained his strength, and now the most important thing is to make a wrench, clean up his mood, sleep well, and start making polishing wrenches tomorrow.

In the next few days, Downing did not go out, but stayed at home to make wrenches, and he made them very carefully, so the progress was slow.

After working hard for several days, I finally made the prototype of the wrench, and then it was time to polish it carefully.

There is no need to be in a hurry, Tang Ning, who was mentally exhausted, returned to the Nanshan camp with his own soldiers, first rested for a day, and Tang Ning took the time to start polishing his fingers.

Sun Hu said with a smile: "Lord Dusi is going to make wrenches, why bother so much, the last general knows that there is a skilled craftsman, and he is very good at making wrenches." ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "This is still the moose I hunted with my own hands during the autumn hunting, and I am going to make it into a wrench with my own hands as a congratulatory gift to congratulate the emperor on a thousand years!" ”

Sun Hu was stunned and said, "My lord wants to use this wrench as a congratulatory gift for the Thousand Autumn Festival?" ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "I was born in a poor family in the countryside, and the emperor also knows that I can't afford to send any rare treasures, presumably the emperor is not short of rare treasures, and I will make a wrench with my own hands when I think about it, and it happens to use the moose hunted by myself during the autumn hunting, which is very sincere!" ”

Sun Hu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "My lord is really wise and foolish, which is amazing, maybe this wrench of Lord Dusi will be the most brilliant gift." ”

Tang Ning shook his head and smiled: "It's just that there is no way, I also want to give a rare treasure in the world, but no." I know my own craftsmanship, and I can't compare to those skilled craftsmen, but I hope the emperor won't scold me for being stingy. ”
