"Thank you for your kindness, but, the woman has not been clean for many days, not to mention the smell on her body, and if the child is hungry, she will cry loudly, which will disturb the purity of the old man." Liu Ruyue was glad that she didn't go to Hantan to take a bath and change clean clothes, and she could use it as an excuse at this moment.

When going out, the little lady should not clean herself up too cleanly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you call me Lord Qingtian, it's the first time I've been called Lord Qingtian, if I don't give you a ride, how can I be a little lady You praise me, come, get in the carriage." Luo Zehao jumped down from the carriage and stretched out his hand to invite Liu Ruyue to get on the horse.

Liu Ruyue kept retreating, this situation made her a little unexpected, she thought that she might encounter an official interrogation like the one just now, and other situations that she might encounter, but she didn't think about this situation.

Her face is dirty, and Master Luo, who looks very slender, can't be trying to plot against her.

And although he was enthusiastic, he did not act more excessively.

Did he find out that she was lying and wanted to interrogate her slowly?

"Shi Niang don't have to be afraid, I'll sit with the coachman outside the carriage, and you sit inside." Luo Zehao's enthusiasm was undiminished, and he was not angry when he saw Liu Ruyue's refusal, and he was very polite and polite.

Liu Ruyue is not a naïve village woman who just came out of the village, in this world, no one will be inexplicably good to you, if it is abnormal, the other party must be calculating something about you.

But at this moment, there are many people on the other side, and they are all officials, if she continues to refuse, I am afraid that the end will not be too good.

Liu Ruyue thanked her head, "Thank you Lord Qingtian for your kindness, the women have a heart, so let's go, I'll get into the carriage, but I don't dare to enter the carriage, for fear of dirtying your carriage, let me sit in the vacant seat next to the coachman." ”

"Okay." Luo Zehao responded quickly, without dragging mud and water at all, and climbed into the carriage.

Liu Ruyue was stunned by his actions, so she hugged the child and climbed up, and sat next to the coachman.

The official who had just asked the question sat on the tall horse, turned his head, and glanced at her with a straight face.

Looking at Liu Ruyue's scalp, her scalp was numb.

The carriage started again.

Fortunately, along the way, Na Luo Juren did not ask her any questions, she heard the sound of flipping a book from the carriage, he should be reading.

She hoped that Luo Juren could read books all the way until she entered the city.

Although Luo Zehao also helped her twice, she was very grateful.

But Liu Ruyue was afraid of him, and always felt that he was inexplicably enthusiastic.

He is too smart, in Liu Ruyue's heart, except for Xue Rong's cleverness called cute, other smart men will remind her of Lu Chengze.

Clever man, she needs to stay away.

When the sun set, Luo Zehao stopped and wanted to eat.

The four officials couldn't, so they could only find a place to park by the river and make a fire.

Listening to their conversation on the way, Liu Ruyue already knew the names of these officials.

The official who interrogated her was named Zheng Dong, and he walked up to Liu Ruyue, who was huddled aside to minimize his presence, "You know how to cook." ”

His tone was too determined, making Liu Ruyue wonder if he knew him, but there were too few women who couldn't cook, maybe his temperament was so self-righteous.

Liu Ruyue said truthfully, "Yes." ”

"You go cook." Zheng Dong was very good at making people, pointing to the fire, and then to the ingredients they had brought down from the carriage just now.

Liu Ruyue glanced at it, nodded slightly, and walked towards the ingredients.

The ingredients are still quite rich, although they are not as many as the ones brought by Mrs. Liu, but for people who are in a hurry, there are really a lot of ingredients.

"Make a good meal, Luo Juren is a distinguished guest of the county, don't snub him, if it's not delicious, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you!" The official Zheng Dongyao raised his fist in a majestic manner, looking still so impersonal and scary.

Liu Ruyue moved to the side, responded, hurriedly squatted down, washed her hands, and began to cook.

"Zheng Dong, what are you doing to her so fiercely? Do you still think she looks like a human tooth? ”

"Luo Juren has said it, she is not, why don't you believe it."

"Zheng Dong, don't keep a straight face like this, you can't be promoted for the rest of your life."

Liu Ruyue was as quiet as a chicken chopping vegetables and stir-frying, and at first she could be distracted and listen to the words of these officials one by one, but when she got in the back, she had no time to pay attention to them at all as soon as she got busy.

Because halfway through, the official went to catch a pheasant again, and now it was summer again, so she prepared to make a bang bang chicken with the materials at hand.

These officials won't help her at all, slipping around and patting horses, Liu Ruyue can only carry the child on the side to kill chickens, pluck feathers, and clean.

Fortunately, she is used to these jobs, killing chickens and ducks is not a problem, but let her kill pigs, she can't hold it down.

After washing the chicken, wrap the wings and legs with strings, and where the meat is thick, use bamboo skewers to get out of the holes, and then put it into a soup pot with green onion strips, Sichuan peppercorns, and ginger slices to cook.

After putting the chicken in the pot, start preparing the seasoning, first clean the ginger and chop it all into minced pieces and put it in a bowl.

Then peel the garlic one by one, wash it and put it on a cutting board, and cut it into minced garlic with a knife for later use.

The sound of chopping and chopping induced the child in his arms to stare intently at the non-stop kitchen knife.

The green onions that these officials plucked in the vegetable field they didn't know were also washed, cut into green onion flowers, and set aside.

When the chicken was cooked, Liu Ruyue salvaged the chicken and hung it on a rack to cool.

The sun has set, the air is cooler, and in the mountain breeze, the chicken cools faster.

Liu Ruyue gently patted the chicken breast and chicken thighs with a small wooden stick that had been washed and dried, and loosened the meat in these two places.

The chicken will taste better when it is fluffed.

Then it's time to change the knife and cut the chicken into strips and arrange it on a plate.

Since there were no peanuts, Liu Ruyue did not add them, but added the red oil chili pepper, white sugar, sesame soy sauce, Sichuan pepper powder and other seasonings that had just been scalded by herself in a small bowl, stirred evenly, poured into the chicken on the plate, and finally sprinkled with minced garlic and green onions.

The conditions on the road are limited, and this can only be done.

Chicken offal, she also fried a plate of chicken out of the water, because there was no pickled pepper, it would be a bad taste, but for ordinary people, this taste is already very tempting.

The fragrance passed over, and the officials forgot to continue to praise Luo Juren, especially Zheng Dong snorted and took the lead in walking over, picking a piece from each bowl of dishes and throwing it into his mouth without rules, "It's okay, I didn't expect you to be a village woman, and the dishes you cook are still a little delicious, no wonder you can raise the child for nothing." ”

As he spoke, Zheng Dong stretched out his hand to the child in Liu Ruyue's arms, wanting to twist his face.

Liu Ruyue glanced at the oil in his hand, picked up the plate and walked forward, "Master Cha should go over and eat!" Everyone was hungry, and I wasn't used to cooking in the suburbs, so I moved a little slower. ”

Zheng Dong didn't seem to notice her evasion, and also brought two dishes and followed, "Let's try this little lady's craftsmanship, it tastes good." ”
