Chapter 266 No One Has Anything to Eat
"My dear, I have a can of beef brisket soup here. Please try it."
The servants placed a low table and some cushions on the bare ground.
Yuan Wanru sat beside a low table, drinking hot water and waiting for lunch.
Nanny Pang served some snacks and some sesame cakes, thinking that Yuan Wanru was hungry and could just eat a few bites to fill her stomach.
This mouthful of hot soup came just in time.
"Where's the beef brisket soup?"
Yuan Wanru was really surprised at how much food Su Shaodong had prepared.
Su Shaodong puffed out his chest and said happily, "I'm going on a long journey, so how can I be careless about what I eat?"
"It's cold these days, so I've prepared a lot of food early on. I'm sure you'll enjoy your meals along the way."
"I have a lot of braised dishes here, including lamb, roast goose, and everything else. In short, I've made sufficient preparations."
After saying that, he opened the porcelain jar, and the aroma of beef brisket soup filled the air. At mealtime, it really whetted one's appetite.
Lu Jiangnian heard every word Su Shaodong said.
He looked at Su Shaodong with disdain: "You spend all your time on this. No wonder your medical skills haven't improved and you've lost your ambition because of playing with things."
Why is he involved in everything?
Su Shaodong gave Lu Jiangnian a sidelong glance with a forced smile: "Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the most important things in life."
"What's the use of a man who can't even arrange for food?"
"My little beauty, do you think I'm right?"
Lu Jiangnian snorted coldly: "Are you blind? So many people are cooking, can't you see?"
The people he brought with him were all capable. They had already set up the stove and were cooking in an orderly manner. It wouldn't be long before the meal was ready.
Su Shaodong sneered: "It was prepared by others, so the intention is not good enough after all."
"Forget it. It's a waste of words to talk to someone like you who doesn't know how to be considerate."
He turned to look at Yuan Wanru, poured a bowl of beef brisket soup and handed it to her: "Try it, how does it taste?"
Yuan Wanru had eaten at Qihuangzhai many times recently. She had to say that Su Shaodong had a good tongue and everything he recommended tasted very good.
She readily followed his advice and started drinking from the bowl. In the cold suburbs, drinking a bowl of warm soup really warmed her stomach.
"Delicious."
After receiving her affirmation, Su Shaodong's expression became even happier.
He also served himself a bowl: "This soup is ready. I can just heat it up on the stove and eat it. I don't have to wait that long."
"I used to go out a lot, and this method is something I figured out a while ago."
"Look, if you follow me out, I will never let you suffer any injustice."
Lu Jiangnian felt that his fist had hardened.
"How can food prepared in advance possibly taste as good as freshly baked food?"
"Don't drink it, the chicken soup will be ready soon."
He reached out and held down Yuan Wanru's hand holding the spoon to stop her from drinking.
Her hands were small and soft, and even in this cold wilderness, they were still warm and felt good.
Su Shaodong was originally in a very good mood, but now, seeing their hands folded together, his face drooped.
"Mr. Lu, how can you be such a person? The little beauty is obviously hungry, but you don't let her eat. You are too much."
Again.
In just one morning, the two of them had gone back and forth several times.
Yuan Wanru just felt tired.
She pulled her hand out of Lu Jiangnian's grasp and said, "It's okay. I have a big appetite and can even drink chicken soup."
I've only drunk half of the beef brisket soup in the bowl. If I don't finish it, it would be a waste.
Lu Jiangnian took the lead, picked up her bowl, tilted his head back, and ate everything in the bowl.
"I'll try it too."
Su Shaodong was so angry that he jumped up and down.
The buns delivered to me in the morning went into Lu Jiangnian’s stomach.
Now we are giving away beef brisket soup, and he wants a piece of it too.
Does he have any shame?
"This isn't for you, why are you drinking it?"
Seeing that the other party was angry, Lu Jiangnian's mood finally improved a little.
He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said, "Excuse me, I'm so hungry. This can of beef brisket soup is very suitable for my appetite. I want it all."
As he said that, he took the can of beef brisket soup and ran away before Su Shaodong could react.
Very angry!
Su Shaodong's plan to show his courtesy was once again disrupted by Lu Jiangnian.
He stood up and ran after Lu Jiangnian, shouting, "Mr. Lu, are you a robber?"
"Put the thing down. I didn't say I was going to sell it to you. Who cares about your few bucks?"
How could Lu Jiangnian listen to him? The two of them started fighting over the can of beef brisket soup.
Aunt Pang stared at all this in amazement, "Madam, this..."
Is the eldest son that hungry?
Yuan Wanru simply couldn't bear to look at these two childish men.
"Don't worry about them. When the meal is ready, we will eat ours."
"Also, tell Xuanqing to make sure everyone finishes their food and don't leave any for them."
Aunt Pang was afraid she had heard wrongly: "You're not leaving any food for the eldest master?"
Yuan Wanru sneered: "Not only that, you are not allowed to cook for them tonight."
Since they like to grab that can of beef brisket soup so much, let them grab as much as they want.
After thinking for a moment, she whispered to Aunt Pang, "If Xuanqing dares to disobey me, I won't let Liuyan see him anymore."
Although Xuanqing and Liuyan tried to avoid others, they were inevitably seen hiding in the corner, whispering to each other.
Yuan Wanru asked Liu Yan, and Liu Yan said that Xuan Qing was gossiping with her.
The girl looked frank, which showed that she hadn't figured it out yet.
But Xuanqing's intentions were already known to everyone.
After hearing what Aunt Pang said, Xuan Qing felt extremely miserable.
One is his master, and the other is the person dear to his master. He can't afford to offend either of them.
After weighing the two options, he decided to offend his master.
Because, the Crown Prince's wife is someone that even the Crown Prince dares not offend.
If he offended the prince, he would at most be punished. But if he offended the prince's wife, not only would the prince punish him, but the wife would also punish him. The good relationship he had worked so hard to establish with Liu Yan might be ruined.
Smart people know how to choose.
Prince, you'd better wish yourself good luck.
-
Lu Jiangnian's martial arts skills are very high, but Su Shaodong's kung fu is also not weak.
The two people had disliked each other for a long time, and in the vast wilderness, they fought with all their might.
I don't know where that can of beef brisket soup ended up.
Both of them had bruises on their bodies.
After fighting for a long time, they finally stopped when they were exhausted and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
As a result, when they looked at each other, there was blood at the corner of Lu Jiangnian's mouth, and Su Shaodong's eyes were blackened by the beating.
"Deserved it."
"Deserves a beating."
At this point, they still couldn't help but ridicule each other.
When we returned to the camp, all the pots and stoves had been cleaned and everyone looked ready to go.
Lu Jiangnian didn't realize that something was wrong. He shouted, "Xuanqing, serve the meal."
Su Shaodong also sat down next to him, waiting for his meal.
