Chapter 138 Yun Hu, not happy?
Yun Hu really couldn't imagine why this ordinary-dressed girl in front of him would reject him?
Didn’t she see that she had so many trucks full of supplies?
Or did she think of them as bad people?
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Hu smiled thoughtfully, then nodded confidently:
"Little girl, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. I will definitely not break my promise if I exchange something for your meal."
Luo Xiaoran looked at Yun Hu's confident expression and asked, "Are you going to the North?"
"That's right!" Yun Hu nodded. This was the last escort mission before the Spring Festival. If he hadn't had other tasks to do, he wouldn't have to follow the car in person.
Yun Hu stretched himself and decided that after finishing this job, he would be able to stay in the northern border and have a good New Year.
"Take my sister and me with you, and I'll make you a portion of the pork rice I just made."
The crisp voice of the little girl sounded in his ears. Yun Hu raised his eyebrows slightly and took a step back to take in the little girl and the little boy beside her.
Just now I was only focused on the bowl of fragrant pork rice. Now I see that although this girl is dressed in ordinary clothes and her features are intentionally concealed, she is a beauty upon closer inspection.
But the little boy next to her looked very ordinary, dark and thin, and it was obvious that they were not biological siblings, yet they called themselves siblings.
And how could the two children be walking alone on this official road and still be able to eat pork rice?
He looked at the pork. It was fresh meat, unlike their team which could only have dry food and bacon.
It's really strange. The little girl in front of me now wants to go to the North with me, which is even stranger.
Thinking of this, Yun Hu raised his voice and deliberately refused: "Forget it, I'm just a small follower, and I can't decide whether to add people to the team."
After saying that, he looked at Luo Xiaoran seriously, his black jade eyes hiding a hint of teasing, waiting for Luo Xiaoran's answer.
However, Luo Xiaoran did not accept the challenge, nor did she continue to talk nonsense with Yun Hu. Instead, she cleaned up the only pot, turned off the fire, and waited by the side without leaving.
Yun Hu secretly sneered in his heart, this little girl is so rude, why is she just silent?
You reply and I will continue to put forward conditions. This way we can make a deal!
Tsk, how boring!
Seeing that Luo Xiaoran had made up her mind not to talk to him, Yun Hu turned around and went back to the Dongfeng Caravan, ordering his men to stop the car and repair it.
Luo Xiaoran looked at Yun Hu, who was so responsive and said that she was just a small follower in the team. Was he bullying her because she was young and easy to cheat?
The clothes Yun Hu was wearing were obviously different from those of the other people in the Dongfeng Caravan. It was impossible for him to be just an ordinary character.
Moreover, when the caravan came just now, the caravan members were all riding in horse-drawn carriages for transporting goods. Only the strong-looking black horse at the front of the team was unridden. It was obviously the leader's means of transportation.
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Hu returned to the team, he raised his hand and touched the black horse.
But the black horse seemed more arrogant. It tilted its long horse face and ignored the other party's approach.
A young waiter handed Yun Hu a large pancake. He took it and nibbled on it without interest, looking towards Luo Xiaoran intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that they were not leaving for the time being, Luo Xiaoran took out the pot that she had just put away, set it on the stove, and asked Niu Dan to help light the fire.
There was a white mass among the remaining wild boar meat in the saddle bag. Luo Xiaoran specially wrapped it in a few leaves. This time she took it all out and put it in the pot, added water and boiled it on the fire.
Niu Dan was very curious about this thing. He didn't know what it was and didn't dare to ask. He just stared at it.
Luo Xiaoran took the initiative to explain: "When I was dealing with the wild boar before, I really didn't want to throw away the pork ribs, but they were too heavy and I couldn't add burden to the horse.
So I just cut off the white fat on the ribs. Now I have nothing to do, so I boil some lard and the remaining lard can be eaten as a snack. "
When Niu Dan heard about snacks, his eyes lit up even more, and he quickly put a few more pieces of firewood at the bottom of the pot, which Luo Xiaoran quickly pulled out:
"The water is boiling now and the pork is slightly yellow. You can't use such a high heat or the pork will burn."
As she spoke, Luo Xiaoran took out a wooden spatula that she had carved with a dagger and stirred the pot to prevent the pork from sticking.
"When the lard is fully cooked, the fat will become small and yellow, and taste fragrant and crispy."
As Luo Xiaoran spoke, she used a wooden spatula to stir the pork in the pot. After the water evaporated, the aroma of the lard wafted out of the pot and into Yunhu's nose.
Yun Hu took a vicious bite of the naan in his hand. This bread was made of fine flour. Most people would not be willing to use it as dry food. Only those in the Dongfeng Caravan who were treated well could eat it.
But where can a little girl on the road get fresh pork to eat?
Yun Hu looked calm, but his nose was unconsciously inhaling the aroma of lard wafting from Luo Xiaoran's pot. He suddenly felt that although the food in his hand was filling, it was tasteless!!!
Not only Yun Hu, but everyone in the Dongfeng caravan was eating dry food, but their noses were unconsciously expanding and contracting, and then they all looked at Luo Xiaoran as if they had agreed.
Luo Xiaoran ignored the numerous gazes and continued with his actions calmly.
After the lard is cooked, it needs to be cooled in the sun. When the temperature drops to a certain level, quickly scoop out the oil residue and wrap it with leaves.
The solidification point of lard is very low, so you should add some salt before it solidifies, which can not only serve as a seasoning but also extend the shelf life. Finally, pour it into an empty water bag and seal it.
Luo Xiaoran sprinkled some salt into the oil residue to season it, picked up a piece and handed it to Niu Dan. If she hadn't done this, Niu Dan would not have taken the initiative to take it.
Niu Dan carefully took the oil residue, smelled it first, and then slowly put it into his mouth and chewed it.
But for some reason, as Niu Dan was eating, his big eyes were filled with tears.
Luo Xiaoran hurriedly asked, "Niu Dan, why are you crying? Is it because the oil residue my sister made is not tasty?"
After saying that, Luo Xiaoran took a piece to taste. It was fragrant and crispy, and very delicious!
Niu Dan shook his head and said, "I remember now. My mother used to do this. I miss my mother!"
Luo Xiaoran's men paused in taking the oil residue, and the scene of Wang Cuihua being killed by Lin Shan's sword suddenly emerged in his mind, with blood all over the ground and flames shooting up into the thatched hut.
Luo Xiaoran unconsciously squeezed the oil residue in her hand into a deformed shape. She had learned from Zhu Jingxing that the man who killed Wang Cuihua that day was named Lin Shan.
Lin Shan is the leader of the many servants who welcomed Lin Qianqian to Beijing. He is considered a capable servant of the Lin family. He even looks down on Zhu Jingxing, the prefect of Changzhou, and acts in an extremely arrogant manner.
There was a dull pain in her chest. If... if she found the chance, she would stab the dagger into Lin Shan's neck with her own hands and make him pay with blood!
