Chapter 318 Sauce Noodles

"Whether it is credible or not, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant will make the decision when we return to the yamen." The yamen runner did not give Zhang Chunwang and Zhang Lizheng any chance to argue. He directly handcuffed the two men with the shackles he carried with him, and prepared to take them back to the county yamen together with the two tied-up "dumplings".

After Feng Maocai cleaned up the Blood Eagle Fort, he properly arranged the seized items, captured bandits, rescued civilians and girls from innocent families, and sent them to the county government office.

After the matter was dealt with, Feng Maocai took his men to the county town.

On the way, he met up with the yamen runners going to Zhangjiazhuang.

After learning that Ma Er, the second in command of Blood Eagle Fort, was dead, and several bandits who escaped were either dead or captured, and that Zhang Chunwang and his son were involved in collusion with bandits, Feng Maocai frowned and prepared to go back and investigate the case carefully to make sure that no evildoer would be let off.

"Where is Commander Lu?" Feng Maocai realized that Lu Qiyan had not returned after he learned everything.

"Commander Lu said he had other important matters to attend to, so he'll take his leave first. The rest will be left to you, sir."

The yamen runner answered truthfully, but then scratched his head, "But I really don't understand, what important matter could Commander Lu have?"

What could be more important than a celebration banquet for a complete victory in suppressing bandits?

Moreover, the news of the successful suppression of the bandits had already spread back to the county town. After hearing about it, the people of the city rushed to tell each other and were extremely happy. At this time, they must be waiting at the city gate to welcome them.

By then, we will be welcomed and cheered by the people. How glorious it will be!
Commander Lu was the leader of a normal anti-bandit war, had made the greatest contribution, was a tall and powerful man, admired by thousands of people, and his name would be passed down for hundreds of years. Yet, Commander Lu didn't care at all about such a highlight moment?

"Maybe something happened in the army?" someone speculated.

"Probably." someone agreed.

Otherwise, Lu Qiyan’s actions cannot be explained.

Feng Maocai curled his lips when he saw that the people below were guessing very seriously.

These people are really superficial.

Does Lu Qiyan look like that kind of person? He is clearly just thinking about going back to see Lady Xia as soon as possible!

After all, the reason for this bandit suppression campaign was because of Xia Mingyue.

On the way to Blood Eagle Fort, Feng Maocai kept wondering why Lu Qiyan wanted to hand over the credit to their Jinqiu County Government.

In addition to what Pei Chenghe said about the dispute between the Wen family and the An family, Feng Maocai felt that the most important point was because of Xia Mingyue.

Lu Qiyan was so angry about this incident that he wanted to catch all the bandits immediately.

I couldn't even wait to go back and ask for soldiers.

A person like Lu Qiyan would naturally make the move to go back and accompany Madam Xia.

Just let him go.

Feng Maocai did not explain too much and just led his men back.

Lu Qiyan rode all the way back home at full speed.

Xia Mingyue was fiddling with skewers of meat on the charcoal stove at home. Seeing Lu Qiyan enter the yard, she was delighted and said, "My husband has returned just in time. The barbecue will be ready soon. Wash your hands first, have a cup of tea, and wait for a while."

Seeing that Xia Mingyue was in high spirits and in good spirits and was not affected by this incident, Lu Qiyan felt relieved and smiled, "Okay."

After cleaning up and washing up, Lu Qiyan changed his clothes and sat down at the table. Xia Mingyue brought the grilled skewers to the table.

The mutton skewers are fat and lean, roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The juicy meat overflows with one bite. The amount of cumin, chili powder and salt is just right, with a moderate saltiness. It tastes delicious and very tasty.

Pork skin skewers, one-inch square pork skin is first blanched with pepper, star anise, etc., then taken out, washed, skewered, slowly roasted on charcoal fire, sprinkled with enough chili powder, and tastes chewy, not greasy, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.

The grilled chicken wings are tender and delicious, marinated very well, and brushed with a layer of honey when grilling. The sweet and spicy taste is so delicious that you will never get tired of it.

Grilled fish balls, round and golden, crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside...

Lu Qiyan had been busy for two days and had not eaten anything today, so his stomach was empty. But when faced with so many delicious foods, he ate with relish and enjoyed it very much.

only……

While eating with gusto, Lu Qiyan asked in surprise, "How did my wife know that I would come back at this time and the food would be ready just in time?"

These foods don’t look easy to prepare.

Xia Mingyue paused while holding the skewers for Lu Qiyan, and smiled, "This is probably telepathy. I always felt that it was time to prepare, so I started to get busy, and it turned out to be a coincidence."

Are you in tune with each other?

Lu Qiyan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

You are absolutely right.

When Jiang Zhuguo, Zhuang Cui and others outside overheard this, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch, and they forced themselves to suppress the hiccups that were about to come out of their throats.

God knows how many skewers of meat they ate!
In the end, all I got was a phrase "we have such a deep connection" from others.

But if you think about it carefully, they were the ones who got the better deal after all. These skewers were really delicious, and you had to eat some more to feel satisfied.

It’s a pity that once Lu Qiyan comes back, it won’t be their turn to enjoy this delicious feast...

Lu Qiyan was enjoying various delicious meat skewers here, while Xia Mingyue cooked noodles for Lu Qiyan according to the agreement they had made before.

Sauce noodles.

Cut the skin-on pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts into small pieces, stir-fry until the oil comes out, add various seasonings such as balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, ginger slices, dried chili peppers, star anise, fennel, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves, salt, etc., stir-fry evenly, add water and bring to a boil and simmer. When the lean meat is cooked through, add the side dishes such as dried tofu, diced black fungus, diced day lily, etc. that are stir-fried with chopped green onions, and finally add some chopped leeks, and the fragrant臊子 is ready to be served.

After the freshly pulled noodles are cooked, they are taken out and poured with the freshly prepared臊子汤, garnished with a little chili oil and some fragrant vinegar, and the steaming臊子面 is served on the table.

After having enough meat skewers, Lu Qiyan needed a staple food to accompany his meal. At this moment, he saw a big bowl of freshly-cooked臊子面, which was delicious and fragrant. He simply blew on the hot air and put the noodles into his mouth.

The noodles are chewy and smooth, soft and tasty, the臊子 is delicious and meaty, the soup is refreshing and spicy, and it is very satisfying to eat.

The more Lu Qiyan ate, the more he felt that the臊子面 was extremely delicious. After the entire bowl of noodles was eaten, he still felt unsatisfied.

But he really ate too much today, and his stomach was a little bloated, so Lu Qiyan had to give up the idea of ​​eating another half bowl. After finishing the noodles, he even had to lean back a little to make himself more comfortable.

"Is everything going well?" Xia Mingyue poured Lu Qiyan a cup of tea while speaking.

The tea is made from dried hawthorn, red dates, rock sugar and wolfberry. It tastes sweet and sour and is good for digestion and appetite.

My child happened to be on the waiting list in the lottery for junior high school, which made me very nervous. The author was exhausted and asked around to see if there was still hope and when the result would be available. I have been busy until now, so the update is a little late. Sorry... There will be another update later, probably around 9:30 pm~
