Chapter 341 Uninvited guests

The neighbor's supper was not complicated, and only three bowls of noodles, a plate of steamed fish and a pot of vegetables were served.

These ingredients are very common goods in the market, and Olina tried to buy them once. Unfortunately, the result of the cooking was not as good as white rice porridge. The noodles turned into a pot of thin soup, and the fish was so fishy that she couldn't eat, so she no longer had the courage to make it for the second time.

But in Miss Yu's hands, these ordinary ingredients seemed to emit light. When the warm noodles were inhaled into the mouth, Olina felt her fatigue all over her body faded away. The tough taste was accompanied by a bit of scallion flavor. The appropriate fresh saltiness and the sweetness of the oil melted. The taste was no worse than the palace banquet.

She forgot about the aristocratic etiquette she had learned for a while, and forgot that she was not good at using chopsticks. She picked up the bowl and ate the noodles and soup.

The other two were stunned.

Olina put down the bowl and licked her mouth with unfulfilled desire. Yu Shuangxue also saw this move, "Isn't a bowl... not enough?"

The dragon girl froze immediately. Only then did she realize that her actions just now were no different from those of vulgar civilians, but what made her even more annoyed was that her mouth actually disobeyed the will of the brain and could not say a negative word.

Yu Shuangxue obviously understood her thoughts and stood up with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll make another bowl for you."

The final result was... Olina felt a little full after eating three bowls of noodles and half a fish.

"That..." She put down her chopsticks with embarrassment, "How much did I eat, I can replenish you later, rice or money..."

The other party is not a high-ranking official family. For ordinary families, every piece of food needs to be carefully calculated, and she can almost resist the other party's consumption for two days.

"Miss Ao, you are so kind. How can a few bowls of noodles compare to your relief?" Yu Shuangxue waved her hand indifferently, "How can you... be so tired of work, really good?"

"It's okay, I can hold on."

"Hey, is that person not satisfied even by filling his stomach?" Yuntao showed dissatisfaction, "You have to do something so ruthless to others."

She suddenly covered her mouth because Sister Yu had already stared at her.

"This is not... except for the agreed remuneration, he still paid a living expense." Olina replied subconsciously. She didn't know why she wanted to defend the treacherous man. Perhaps it was because of her virtue of respecting the facts. "It's a pity that I'm not very good at oriental cuisine... Although I have asked you, the things I made are still hard to swallow."

"Do you mean how to cook the rice?"

The dragon girl nodded, "I also boiled the water and washed the rice well, but I couldn't cook it as it should..."

"Wait," Yu Shuangxue interrupted, "Will you burn the water first?"

"Yes, since I have to boil it in water, shouldn't I boil the water first and then put it in the pot... I do this when I cook potatoes."

Yuntao couldn't help but reach out to cover her face.

"..." Yu Shuangxue was stunned for a moment. That day, the other party simply asked how to make rice. She casually answered and let it go. More water was porridge, and less water was rice. I didn't expect that the other party could still operate like this.

"Or I'll teach you how to cook."

Olina's heart moved, "But isn't a secret to cooking skills?"

"It's not that exaggerating. I just know some home-cooked dishes." Yu Shuangxue covered her mouth and said, "If you want to learn, I'll be fine if I teach you all."

"I don't know as much as Sister Yu, but I'm pretty good at making pastries." Yuntao also said, "As long as you are interested, I can teach you."

Olina couldn't answer the conversation right away.

For some reason, she felt a long-lost feeling.

The two women in front of them were undoubtedly civilians and would not have any interaction with her in the past. But now after many contacts, she found that these people's words and deeds are no different from those of nobles, except for power and wealth... Or in other words, they are more understanding and warm than nobles. When they stay in this small room, they have the illusion of returning to their childhood castle.

How long has it been since she was cared for?

After a moment, Olina Okan nodded slightly.

"Then...is to bother you."

...

At the same time, in Baihe City.

Although they had just experienced a great war, the city was not affected much. Some people with keen observation were surprised to find that the new recruits formed by the government office to deal with Jinxia City had now transformed into the maintenance of urban security. The armor on their bodies was replaced with leather suits of the same color, and gold ribbons were wrapped around their arms.

What is even more surprising is that the soldiers who were originally forced to recruit were now smiling, as if the new owner of the Baihe Affairs Branch, who had just moved into the government office, had an incredible force, which could make everyone willing to serve him.

"Uncle Jiu, I remember your nephew is also on the list of recruitment? What exactly happened here?"

There are naturally many curious people in the teahouse to inquire about each other.

"Hey, what else can I do? They will give me more."

“How many? How many can there be?”

Uncle Jiu grinned and stretched out five fingers.

"Isn't this almost the same as an official!"

"Do they still accept people?"

There was a sudden voice of envy at the scene.

Can you use silver to stabilize the situation? Yan Qing silently put down the tea bowl. This is indeed an effective emergency method, but it cannot be called a long-term solution. The people's hearts bought by money will inevitably be bought by another high price in the end. If you want to truly become the ruler of the place, the third princess still needs to do a lot.

But then again, her actions were a bit unexpected and took advantage of the heavy snow to block the road and directly raise an army to seize the entire Shenzhou. By the beginning of the spring of the next year, she would have at least one state. The Privy Council did not take Ning Wanjun seriously before, because she only had one Jinxia City, and the resources and manpower were not enough to realize her ambitions. But the entire Shenzhou area is different. The historical records of successful usurpation of the throne were basically accumulated from the state.

Yan Qing originally wanted to walk slowly to Jinxia City and take a look at the situation of other cities in the south. After that, she also had a comparison in her heart. Unexpectedly, she had just arrived in Baihe City and had already seen Jinxia's expansion.

The unprecedented giant organ beast, the high-spirited army, and Olina Okan herself, especially the latter, in the eyes of the Privy Council, this ambassador of the Holy Wings Islands was a tough guy who was in trouble. He could not pry open her mouth with all kinds of torture. Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, she was already serving Ning Wanjun. Everything about this shows that the Third Princess is probably not a person with courage.

Perhaps the Gyeonggi General Office has always underestimated this royalist.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise and yelling from the street under my feet.

Yan Qing turned his head and saw a black shadow passing through the long street quickly, and two men followed closely behind. While chasing, several people were pushed to the ground, and the shops on the street were also in chaos. No wonder it caused a commotion.

Yan Qing didn't care about this kind of thing at first, but the shaking sign on the waist of the tailor suddenly attracted her attention. It was a jade plaque with a strange shape, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and like a flipped pagoda. In the eyes of others, it was probably just an exquisite decoration, but she knew the meaning of the jade plaque.

These two are alchemists from the Privy Council of Xu State, and their ranks will not be lower than Baibian!
