Chapter 383 Invitation
Li Dachui became more and more interested in Jiang Ping.
Li Dachui, who had removed his beard and regained his true appearance, although not handsome, had a good appearance.
Of course, there are still some small fine-tunings that should be made, but those are the movements of muscles and bones. It is basically impossible to glean clues from them.
Li Dachui is a master of disguise.
Now, the sense of oppression and authority that he had held in a high position for a long time was gone, but the vicissitudes of wandering around the world were very strong.
So Han Zheng was still quite nervous.
Even he himself found the smell of Li Dachui very attractive.
If this is true for men, the lethality to little girls is naturally self-evident.
So basically whenever Jiang Ping appears next to Li Dachui along the way, Han Zheng will inevitably appear next moment.
The precise timing is astonishing.
Of course, Li Dachui soon discovered this guy’s little secret.
Master Han actually bribed several sailors on the ship with money. As soon as Jiang Ping came to him, he would get the information immediately and he would naturally arrive in time.
Han Zheng's petty worries are nothing. In fact, Li Dachui still likes to talk to this person.
He must be the legitimate son of an important minister of Southern Chu. Han Zheng, the governor of Ruyin County, naturally values his legitimate son. Therefore, even if Han Zheng does not know the core secrets of Southern Chu clearly, he still has a rough idea. , instead of chatting, Li Dachui could arouse this guy's desire for expression with almost no effort, and spit out what Li Dachui wanted to know.
But here comes the interesting thing.
Whenever Han Zheng is about to reveal something very important, the innocent and innocent Jiang Jiang will jump out in the right way, making jokes or being rude, always making things difficult for him. Han Zheng couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Once or twice can be regarded as an unintentional mistake, but once it happens more than once, even Han Zheng himself knows that something is wrong, and when it comes to these topics again, he grits his teeth very tightly. .
He was just too well protected by his father and had never experienced the dangers of the world. He was not really an idiot.
In front of Li Dachui, Han Zheng was like a transparent bottle, and it was clear what was inside.
It's just that Jiang Jiang, the little white rabbit at the beginning, is now becoming more and more difficult for Li Dachui to understand.
Is she the little overlord of Danyang, the great witch in the world, or is she pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, a scheming woman from the city?
Interesting!
Li Dachui suddenly felt that this journey would definitely become exciting.
It’s a new day.
God, who had been gloomy for a few days, finally showed mercy. He rarely lifted up the layers of dark clouds, revealing the deep blue sky. White clouds drifted in the wind. A round of beautiful sun slowly rose from the east, comforting everyone with warmth. .
With such good weather, it is natural to gather at the bow of the boat to enjoy the scenery.
There were obviously more boats in the river. Not only were there cargo boats, small fish boats, but also painted boats.
Unlike other ships, Li Dachui and the others also set up a stove on the ship, and Li Dachui took it upon himself to bake food for everyone.
The cargo ship is well stocked with food and various spices. Even some spices that are not common outside can be found here, which surprised Li Dachui.
Of course, having spices is only the first step. How to prepare these spices and how to match them is his little secret. After tinkering in the kitchen for a while, he came out with a few oil paper packages.
While Li Dachui was tinkering with condiments, Mr. Han was not idle either. He was sitting on the side of the boat fishing. His fishing skills were not bad. Without much effort, there were already several fish weighing a pound in the bucket next to him. Heavy fish.
It’s not that he didn’t catch big ones, but Li Dachui told him that as long as they were about a pound, they would be unpalatable whether they were too big or too small.
Of course Jiang Ping did nothing. She held her chin next to Han Zheng and watched him fishing. This made Mr. Han even more energetic.
As for Jiang Shiyuan, he was sitting on a chair with a small heater in his arms and a small teapot in his hand, basking in the sun with half-squinted eyes.
Li Dachui didn't understand the old guy's hobbies. Although Xuanyuan's ninth-grade martial arts cultivation level was not as innately immune to cold and heat, he was not so afraid of the cold!
Who are you showing off to?
For those who don’t know you, you are lighting a lamp for the blind.
People who know you will only laugh at you for pretending.
But maybe this is his habit!
When doing business, people always feel weak on the surface.
Xiao Le is also like this.
But turn your back, they are sharpening their knives and cutting people, which is unnecessary.
Very fierce.
When Li Dachui started grilling, Jiang Ping lost interest in Han Zheng's fishing and turned to Li Dachui to watch him skillfully prepare fresh fish, various kinds of meat and some vegetables. sparse. Jiang Ping stopped watching fishing, and Han Zheng stopped catching fish. The main reason was that he couldn't concentrate and was always distracted. Several times the fish took the bait and flew away.
Han Zheng simply stopped fishing and sat side by side with Jiang Ping, watching Li Dachui bake food.
Barbecue is not a new thing, but when the aroma wafted from the bow of the boat, not only did the two teenagers in front of them swallow their saliva involuntarily, but even Jiang Shiyuan, who was squinting in sleep beside him, sat upright. He stood up and looked over.
The sharp kitchen knife was waved, and the main spine of a grilled fish was completely picked out. The fish on the plate still maintained its shape, and was surrounded by some vegetables. The barbecue is finished with all the color, flavor and flavor.
Li Dachui handed it to Jiang Ping with a smile.
Jiang Ping turned around and held it in front of Jiang Shiyuan, holding it to him with both hands: "Grandpa, eat first!"
Jiang Shiyuan laughed, took the plate, took a deep sniff, and then gave it back to Jiang Ping: "Jiang Jiang Eat first!”
The grandfather and grandson put on a good show of kindness and filial piety in front of everyone.
It’s just that Li Dachui and Han Zheng didn’t take it seriously.
Here, who has the most noble status is naturally Jiang Ping, so it is natural that she eats first. Jiang Shiyuan dares to eat first. It’s okay now. Jiang Ping might take care of him later!
Swinging the knife like lightning, the various pieces of meat on the stove were cut into uniformly sized pieces and arranged into various shapes. Not to mention eating, just smelling and looking at it, I felt my index finger moving. The saliva flowed out involuntarily.
"Brother Li is really good at it!" Han Zheng was full of praise while eating barbecue in a hurry: "Not only is your martial arts cultivation high, but your cooking skills are also famous. Even if you don't know martial arts, you can still do it alone." You can also make a fortune by renting this skill and opening a barbecue restaurant in Danyang!”
“I have been wandering for a long time and often can’t find a decent place to eat, so I thought about how to make something delicious and delicious. The things are worth the hard work. Over time, I slowly figured out some tricks on the spot!" Li Dachui said with a smile: "Brother Han didn't know that at the beginning, the things he made were really hard to swallow. I'm often hungry! But as a person, as long as you have a goal, aim for it, and move forward unswervingly, you will always achieve your original goal in the end. You may take some detours, suffer some setbacks, and encounter obstacles. I encountered a lot of difficulties, but I gritted my teeth and got through it."
Han Zheng thoughtfully said: "Brother Li makes sense. This is not just about eating. I think life is also about it! That’s right!”
“Just a little experience, haha, brother Han, don’t think too much!” Li Dachui laughed.
His thoughts were interrupted by Li Dachui's devilish laughter. Han Zheng was too lazy to think about it. Looking at Jiang Ping eating sweetly, he pulled Li Dachui to the side and whispered: "Sell me the ingredients!"< br>
Li Dachui said: "There are many people who know how to use ice skates. I can sell them to you cheaply, but this spice is a secret I won't tell. No one outside will know it!"
" How much do you want?"
"You have to spend money everywhere when you are wandering around. Since Mr. Han wants it, how about five hundred taels?" Li Dachui asked tentatively.
Han Zheng turned around and looked at Jiang Ping again, and said with a smile: "I will give you a thousand taels, and I will give you the banknote later."
"Okay, then I will write you the recipe and the production method tonight!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, both overjoyed.
Li Dachui felt that it was okay anyway, so he could cheat a little money and he would live up to the saying that a thief never leaves empty-handed. Han Zheng felt that if he got this recipe, he could bake the same delicious food to seduce Jiang Ping. .
"Li Bao, you are good at martial arts, good at cooking, and have a good temper. Such a person must be very popular with women. How many wives have you asked for in your family?" Jiang Ping murmured while chewing the barbecue. He asked with a somewhat unclear smile at Li Dachui.
"A real man should establish a career first and then a family!" Li Dachui said righteously: "If you don't enter the ninth rank, what kind of wife do you have?"
Han Zheng next to him blushed.
Don't talk about the ninth grade, he doesn't seem to have even entered Xuanyuan, he is just a Qi controler!
"There is no order of precedence in establishing a career and a family. It varies from person to person!" Jiang Shiyuan on the side tried to smooth things over so that Mr. Han would not be too embarrassed.
"Li Bao, when you arrive in Danyang and break the ninth rank, I will introduce you to a few ladies of the world. You can choose yours, okay? Let's settle down in Danyang and start a business. I will use your skills to become a great person." It’s not difficult for a general!”
“That’s great!” Li Dachui nodded repeatedly: “But we have to get to the ninth level first.”
"Brother Li Bao is ambitious. With this tenacity alone, I think it will only be a matter of time for you to reach the ninth level!" Jiang Shiyuan praised.
“I’ll lend you some good words, I’ll lend you some good words!” Li Dachui was overjoyed.
A few people were laughing and chatting, when the sound of horse hooves came from the shore not far away. They followed the sound and saw a man in green riding a horse, walking along the He ran all the way along the river embankment, looking into the river from time to time to look at something.
"May I ask if there is Jiang Shiyuan, the shopkeeper on board?" The man in green shouted loudly, full of energy, and his martial arts skills were not low.
Jiang Shiyuan raised his eyebrows, stood up, and walked to the side of the ship: "I am the old man, who are you?"
"Liu Chuang of the Cao Gang, under the order of the gang leader, is here to invite shopkeeper Jiang to come ashore for a party!"
"He is here, gang leader?" Jiang Shiyuan was stunned.
