Chapter 1603: River Cooking

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Therefore, whether it was Shi Yuan or Shi Che, they had to find one of them.

In the following days, they encountered more people rushing to Lizhou from time to time.

On August 24th, they met another group of people galloping over. Xue Yan drove the carriage to the side of the road and let this group of people pass first.

Then, he continued on his way.

In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark again, and they couldn’t find any inns ahead of their journey. Coincidentally, there was a small river not far from the road, so even if they didn’t take water out from the space, it would be fine. Xue Yan stopped the carriage and first helped Jiang Yue down, then, he led the carriage to a tree downstream of the river and tied it to it.

The horse was tied to the tree and could drink water directly from the river. There was no need for Jiang Yue to take out a water trough from the space and pour water into it.

However, the horse still had to eat.

As soon as Jiang Yue took out the grass from the space, Xue Yan hurriedly took it and placed it beside the horse to feed it. Then, the husband and wife went upstream a little and rested there.

Xue Yan started to cook.

Although they had never felt hungry in Da Chen, they could feel full. Therefore, they still felt that eating a little was better than not eating at all.

At most, they would just stop eating when they felt full.

Moreover, Jiang Yue had two stomachs to feed. Xue Yan was really very careful.

“Let’s eat noodles. Noodles are easy to digest. I happened to pass by a town at noon today and bought some spiced beef with some vegetables.” Xue Yan said.

“Sure.” Jiang Yue didn’t have any objections. After thinking about it, she immediately brought out pots, bowls, ladles, firewood, flour, vegetables, and so on from the space in front of them.

Naturally, this included the braised beef they had bought at noon. The braised beef was wrapped in oil paper. In this weather, it could be eaten for two days without it going bad.

Xue Yan placed a thick felt on the ground and let Jiang Yue sit on it. Immediately after, he started to get busy, setting up the makeshift kitchen.

Then, he scooped some flour out of the flour bag and placed it in a basin. He added water and mixed it into a dough.

Then, he kneaded the dough. He didn’t need to pull it with his hands. He just rolled it flat with a rolling pin and cut it into strips with a knife. It was made into noodles. This way, it would be faster.

Xue Yan then washed the vegetables. He also washed some onions and garlic and cut them into pieces for later use. There were also some in the storage rooms in these spaces.

The spiced beef had already been cut, so there was no need to cut it again.

Seeing that Jiang Yue had also taken out the oil and salt from her space, and that there was nothing else that needed to be prepared, Xue Yan poured water into the pot to boil it.

However, just as they started the fire, they heard the sound of horses galloping. They had been encountering many groups for the past few days. They were used to it and did not look at the road.

However, when the group of people on the road saw the fire, they stopped their horses.

Only then did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan look over.

Because it was dark, they couldn’t see clearly. They could only vaguely see that they weren’t soldiers because they weren’t wearing any armor or helmets.

The leader stopped his horse and said, “It’s quite dark. Let’s take a rest too. We’ll continue our journey tomorrow. The horses are tired.”

“Yes, Sir.” The four people behind him hurriedly cupped their fists and said. Then, they dismounted, each with a vigorous posture.

They were skilled people.

The four of them got off their horses and hurriedly took the reins from the young master in the lead and also came to the river.
