Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 211

In the kitchen of the bandit village on Tianshan Mountain, Gu Yin was in charge at night.

Although Manager Zhou and Master Yuan both felt sorry for her and wanted to do it for her, the Emperor became more difficult to serve since he left Hanshan Town, and changed his pattern to ask for different meals.

The day before, Master Yuan was dragged out and beaten with ten sticks because the things he made did not suit his taste.

Although Master Yuan was in good health, the ten sticks still brought him to bed.

So Gu Yin was the only cook who cooked food for the Emperor.

In the evening, the Emperor passed an order again that said he wanted to eat chicken noodle soup.

There were live chickens in the kitchen, but because of the continuous rain and the humidity on the mountain, the firewood sent in the morning was already damp.

She reported to Eunuch Shangshan, and after a while, he went to find the young man and asked him to chop wood in the kitchen.

Gu Yin added eggs to the flour and kneaded the dough. When the young man split the wood and put it in the stove to make a fire, her noodles were also ready.

She cut the whole chicken into pieces, soaked it in water to remove the blood, blanched it in water, put it in the pot and boiled it for two quarters of an hour. After the chicken was cooked, she put the noodles into the pot.

After waiting for the noodles to cook, she took them out, put them in a small bowl, then tore the chicken breast into chicken shreds, put half into the noodles, and mixed the other half with sesame oil, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, etc. to become a side dish with noodles.

Eunuch Shang Shan was drowsy, but he forcibly endured to supervise.

The young man was beside him, and he felt that Gu Yin was tearing the chicken while peeking at him from the corner of his eye.

The young man looked back helplessly. He was indeed much stronger than ordinary people, but he had never done such a cruel thing as tearing up a living person. It was just a rumor on the battlefield. In addition, that rumor could really boost the morale of the rebels.

A gust of cold wind blew past, and Eunuch Shangshan sneezed and woke up all of a sudden.

Seeing them looking at each other, he coughed lightly, and Gu Yin and the youth looked away from each other.

Gu Yin quickly prepared the noodle soup, and Eunuch Shangahan tested it for poison and immediately took it to the Emperor.

Before leaving, he stopped again and sighed

There were also eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who ate in pairs, and Eunuch Shangshan had company in the palace. It was a pity that when the Emperor fled, he didn’t bring his companion. It would be hard to see her again in that life.

Seeing the two people staring at each other with tired eyes, Eunuch Shangahan felt that it was unsightly, but he didn’t act like a wicked person who beat mandarin ducks. (separate the couple)

“Don’t do that kind of pickled stuff!”

“Thank you, this woman will remember it!”

Gu Yin smiled and sent Eunuch Shangshan away.

Turning her head again, she saw the young man awkwardly say, “I’m sorry.”

In that era, women attached great importance to their reputation. If they were thinner-skinned women, people would misunderstand that they had an affair with the person and they would be embarrassed and afraid to meet people again.

“It’s okay, I’m not a little girl.” Gu Yin said indifferently, “Misunderstanding is a misunderstanding. Besides, I won’t be with these people all the time. I will go back to town and the rest of the town won’t know about it.”

The two sat in front of the stove, pretending to be burning fire together, and at the same time they were facing the door of the kitchen so they could see the movement outside.

When the young man took out a small cloth strip from his hair and handed it to her, Gu Yin’s eyes turned red.

She held the cloth tightly in her palm and said, “Have you seen him? How is he?”

“He is fine. He said he missed you and wanted to do something for you.” Thinking of the sly and intelligent child, the youth’s eyes softened a little as he said, “I helped you send him the word, let him be honest and wait for you home. But he said that he will be waiting for me at the spring where I draw water.”

“That’s what this kid is like.” Gu Yin hid the cloth strip and said angrily, “As long as I can’t, no one can control him. When we were in the town, our county magistrate escorted the prisoner to Fucheng for trial. He dared to go along with him. I searched with my mother all night before I heard that he had left the city…”

Perhaps it was because of the news of Gu Ye that she was excited, or she had formed a habit of casually nagging to the youth before, and before she knew it, Gu Yin said a long series of words.

The firewood in the stove made a “beep” sound, and Gu Yin came back to her senses and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’m talking too much.”

The young man fiddled with the firewood with a firewood tong, and said softly, “No problem.”
