Chapter 110: Dry Cakes
Ma Miaozhen asked directly: "What are you talking about?" ”
Liu Yong smiled and said, "I didn't say anything." ”
Ma Miaozhen's big eyes rolled, and she seemed to have guessed something. asked: "Brother Hualang's sister is Lin Qingrou, right?" ”
"You're smart." Lin Hualang said something sarcastically and left.
Ma Miaozhen followed up and asked Liu Yong, saying, "Hey, he is really Lin Qingrou's brother?" Liu Yong nodded and said, "Well, what's wrong?" Ma Miaozhen said: "Is he unhappy to see us together." ”
Liu Yong walked to the front of the car and pulled the tarpaulin. He said, "What do you say? ”
Ma Miaozhen thought for a while and said with a smile: "I don't know, but I think it should be like this." What brother doesn't talk to his sister-in-law? ”
Liu Yong covered the tarpaulin tightly to prevent direct sunlight. Then he clapped his hands, faced this Ma Miaozhen and said, "It's good that you know." That means it's best not to get too close to each other in the future.
Liu Yong was about to leave, but was grabbed by Ma Miaozhen and said angrily: "Hey, what do you mean?" Liu Yong said: "I'm not interesting? Ma Miaozhen said: "Do you clearly have something in your words?" Liu Yong smiled: "That's because you are too careful." Go grab your baggage, get on your white horse, and we're off on our way. After saying that, Liu Yong went to order the servants to divide a dozen people, each with an ox cart. Because Jinru is in the mountains, the road is not easy to walk, and every car must be taken care of.
Everything was ready to stop, Liu Yong set off, and the convoy continued to move slowly westward.
Ma Miaozhen naturally walked side by side with Liu Yong, and Lin Hualang followed behind with his eyes glared, eager to eat Ma Miaozhen. He still felt very sorry for his sister in his heart, and he thought that if he wanted to let his sister know, he would definitely be sad. But he didn't have a problem, he himself had to listen to Liu Yong's dispatch, and he was a general under him. How can subordinates take care of their bosses' affairs? At this time, he could only scold in his heart and kill Ma Miaozhen with his eyes, but Ma Miaozhen had a very happy conversation with Liu Yong. As if he was deliberately angry with him, he was really angry and left. Ma Miaozhen also looked back at Lin Hualang who was retreating, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smug smile.
By noon, a high mountain was in front of you, and a winding mountain road was winding up. It was difficult to walk at first glance, and Liu Yong was anxious.
"Officials don't have to be anxious. We can't walk on this mountain road, and it's all sheep intestine paths, and we can't walk the ox cart, and the ox cart can't climb up such a steep road. Now we have to take some long detours south to get around this high mountain. Liu Qiang came over and said.
"Then we can't get out of the realm of the Great Song Dynasty today?" Liu Yong asked.
"It's going to take an extra day. But there is no way. Liu Qiang said.
Liu Yong thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go south." We won't cook at noon, so let's divide the dry food in the car to satisfy everyone's hunger, and see if we can meet a village or something in the evening, so that we can spend the night. ”
Liu Qiang nodded, went to the back and ordered.
The convoy turned around on the road to the south.
At this time, Liu Qiang rode Lin Hualang's horse, but Lin Hualang got on the ox cart that pulled the cloth, the load of this car was the lightest, and there was no problem with pulling one more person, not to mention that the road was not gentle.
Liu Qiang rode his horse to the front and said to Liu Yong: "Liu Guanren, I will lead the way in front, you and this horse girl go to the back." ”
Liu Yong nodded, and stood on the side of the road with Ma Miaozhen, waiting for the convoy to pass. Seeing Lin Hualang sitting leisurely on the ox cart, Liu Yong smiled and said, "Be careful to exhaust the cow to death." Lin Hualang smiled: "I'm tired of it, I'll pull the car." ”
Liu Yong and Ma Miaozhen walked to the back of the team, which was considered to be the bottom. However, it stands to reason that Liu Yong does not have to be at the forefront, because he is the owner of this caravan. All the people here were hired by him at his expense. Don't think that Lin Hualang's face is big, if Liu Yong doesn't promise to give people a lot of wages, who is willing to come and endure hardship.
Ma Miaozhen also likes to walk at the back of the team, which makes her feel like she is alone with Liu Yong, even if she is not afraid to say some quiet love words.
The servant brought dry cakes to the two of them. It is a hard, stone-like bread that people often take with them when they travel far away. One of the biggest benefits of it is that it is easy to preserve, as the cake is already dry, so it will not become moldy. Another advantage is that this cake is very hungry, and it is full after eating a little, like modern miniature food. But the disadvantage is that it is very difficult to eat, and if you have bad teeth, you really can't enjoy it.
Liu Yong handed Ma Miaozhen a piece, don't look at Ma Miaozhen is a native of Meizhou in the Song Dynasty, but she really hasn't seen this kind of cake. Because she has been pampered since she was a child, let alone such dry cakes, she rarely eats oil cakes. She eats the best rice and fine pastries. The bread is what the people eat.
"Eat, I've heard this thing is very hungry." Liu Yong said with a smile, "But you have to be careful with your teeth, don't be cut off by it." ”
Ma Miaozhen looked at the hard and stone-like cake in her hand and felt extremely curious, and asked, "Can this thing be eaten?" Then there was a look of disgust.
Liu Yong smiled: "You have to eat if you can." After saying that, he took a bite and then took it in his mouth. said vaguely: "This must be held for a while, otherwise it will not be able to chew." ”
Ma Miaozhen looked at Liu Yong, and then looked at the dry cake in her hand. Biting down on a piece of the heart, Science felt sour. This is a dough cake, of course, sour.
Wow, she almost threw up.
Liu Yong was amused on the side, and said in his heart: "If you don't suffer a little, you don't have the idea of going home." He swallowed the bread in his mouth slowly. "Horse girl." How's that, is it delicious? ”
Ma Miaozhen swallowed the dates, returned the remaining cakes to Liu Yong, and said, "It's just too unpalatable." Liu Yong smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you have eaten enough big fish and meat?" I want to eat some coarse tea and light rice. Isn't this just coarse tea and light rice? He began to tease Ma Miaozhen.
"I'd rather not eat this kind of coarse tea and light rice." Ma Miaozhen said while shaking her hand.
"But if you don't eat, you'll be hungry?" Liu Yong deliberately teased her.
"Then I won't eat it, it's too unpalatable, hard and sour. I just starved to death and couldn't eat. In the face of such food, Ma Miaozhen had no choice but to regard death as home.
Liu Yong laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Ma Miaozhen's face couldn't hold back.
"Miss Ma, I advise you to go home, this is just the beginning, and there are still many hardships in the future." Liu Yong took the opportunity to scare her, but it was actually not a scare, because Liu Yong was telling the truth.
However, the truth is not what all people like to hear. Ma Miaozhen is one of them.
"I won't go, in this life and this life, I Ma Miaozhen will rely on you Liu Yong. Hum! Ma Miaozhen's delicate little face tilted, very rude.
Over, I, Liu Yong, were really relied on by this woman.
