In Cao Jie's tent.
She sat close to the charcoal pot, frowning slightly, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her cute face.
It was late at night and she was a little hungry.
Before dark, the soldiers in the army brought dinner. But the taste of the food was too ordinary, so Cao Jie simply ate some and then stopped eating. So now I am hungry and very uncomfortable.
She was the one who had just been given to Lu Xuan. She didn't know anyone here, so it was impossible for her to sneak out to find food.
Her hobby is gourmet food and she likes making food.
When he was in Prince Qin's Mansion in Luoyang, Cao Jie liked to think about eating and knew many tricks. The pastries she made or the meat she cooked were all very delicious.
Cao Jie sighed, took out a small bag from his sleeve and took out a few preserved fruits to eat. After eating the sweet preserved fruit, my stomach felt better and there was a touch of joy on my face.
Sure enough, eating can make people happy.
Cao Jie glanced outside the camp. It had already turned dark, and the cold wind was howling. Fortunately, the charcoal fire in the tent dissipated the chill and prevented me from getting cold.
"Oh, I'm still hungry."
Cao Jie murmured to himself.
She was so hungry that she finally couldn't help but stand up and go to the entrance of the camp, ready to ask for some ingredients from the soldiers standing guard outside the camp and get some food for herself. As soon as she reached the door of the tent, the curtain of the tent suddenly lifted, and Lu Xuan strode in.
boom! !
Cao Jie and Lu Xuan bumped into each other.
Cao Jie bumped into Lu Xuan's chest. Just as he was about to speak, he looked up and saw Lu Xuan's appearance. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances, and said softly: "Are you Lu Xuan?"
Lu Xuan looked at the cute baby-faced Cao Jie with a soft and waxy voice, smiled and nodded: "I am Lu Xuan."
Cao Jie's heart beat faster inexplicably.
On the way here, she heard Cai Yan say that Lu Xuanfeng was handsome and handsome. Now she looked at Lu Xuan in front of her. He was tall, handsome, and strong. The key was that there was light in his eyes, which made her inexplicably like him.
Cao Jie quickly put down his hands, made a ladylike gesture, leaned forward and said, "I have met the king."
Lu Xuan said: "No need to be polite."
He looked at Cao Jie who was walking to the entrance of the camp and asked, "Why are you at the entrance of the camp? Is there anything wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Cao Jie waved his hands one after another.
In front of Lu Xuan, she was embarrassed that she hadn't eaten enough. It would be too disappointing to say that she was hungry.
Gu! Gu! !
At this moment, Cao Jie's stomach growled.
She was holding her stomach, with an embarrassed look on her face. Her big black eyes were a little erratic, and she didn't dare to look into Lu Xuan's eyes.
Lu Xuan comforted him: "It's okay if you're hungry, just eat. I'll arrange for someone to prepare food for you. Only when you're full will you have strength."
"no, do not want."
Cao Jie waved his hand quickly.
Lu Xuan asked again: "Are you serious about not wanting it?"
Cao Jie hesitated for a moment, but still chose to eat from his stomach, and said humbly: "Then just eat a little, but I can do it myself. Are you hungry, Your Majesty? I'll prepare it and eat together. Don't worry, I'm a good cook."
Lu Xuan asked: "Is it possible?"
"I guarantee it will work."
Cao Jie's eyes shone, he looked determined and very confident.
Lu Xuan noticed Cao Jie's expression and applauded in his heart. Cai Yan is a literary young woman with intellectual beauty. The Cao Jie in front of me is a foodie and a good cook. Not only can she eat it, but she can also cook it herself.
What a blessing.
Lu Xuan said directly: "What kind of food do you want to cook? I will prepare it for you."
Cao Jie scratched his head and said quickly: "There are no fresh ingredients at night, so I might as well go to the kitchen and make whatever is available. I will make whatever delicious food the king wants to eat in the future."
"I can cook roasted lamb, stewed lamb, braised beef, and a lot of pastries. I make them all myself and never give them to anyone else. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
"Let's go."
Lu Xuan also looked forward to it.
He and Cao Jie came out of the camp, but a cold wind blew and flying snow fell, which made Cao Jie shiver.
Lu Xuan stepped forward and hugged Cao Jie to his side. Lu Xuan wrapped Cao Jie with a large cloak to protect him from the cold wind. Cao Jie was petite and was completely protected by Lu Xuan.
Cao Jie felt Lu Xuan's warm and strong body, felt Lu Xuan's protection, and a bright smile appeared on Mengmeng's face.
Lu Xuan gave her a different feeling,
Not only Toyojin Toshiro.
The key is to treat her differently.
She had met her father, Cao Cao, who had an attitude towards her mother that he would come and go when he was called upon. I have also met my eldest brother Cao Ang, and the same is true for his married wife. I have never been so close to him.
It means that men are superior to women.
Lu Xuan did not scold her because she was hungry and wanted to eat, nor did he let her walk alone in the cold wind. Instead, he protected her.
Cao Jie was very happy inside.
It feels good.
The two of them walked towards the kitchen, and after a while they arrived at the tent dedicated to cooking.
The remaining meals in the camp are served specially. The food in Lu Xuan's army has always been good. There is enough meat every day, and broth is prepared every day to ensure the nutrition of the soldiers.
This is because Lu Xuan has no problems with logistics, plus the stability of Wu's rear area, and the energy to continuously produce food. Therefore, the soldiers on Lu Xuan's front line were not short of rice and meat, and they were able to eat and drink enough.
This is something that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's soldiers do not possess.
It is impossible for the armies of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to have meat to eat every day. Cao Cao is in a difficult situation, and food and grass are not easy to come by. Yuan Shao had enough food and grass, but he would not treat his soldiers so kindly. Even if many soldiers eat rice, it is old rice and even mixed with sand.
Lu Xuan's army is different. Whether it is rice, white flour steamed buns, meat buns, etc. in the army, they are all guaranteed to be clean.
This is a logistical difference in the military.
Cao Jie stepped forward and looked at the mutton soup left in the vat. There was no meat, it was just soup. She came up and sniffed it gently, looking disgusted, shaking her head and saying: "The smell of mutton soup is too strong, it was not handled well, the quality is too low."
She looked at them one by one, and the rest were just leftovers.
There is some white rice left.
Cao Jie turned around and said, "There are also eggs and some rice. I use the eggs to cook. This is an exclusive recipe I made at home. I guarantee you will like it."
Lu Xuan glanced at Cao Jie.
Egg fried rice?
Although it is very common, but in a hurry, this is the best arrangement.
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "I will wait and see."
Cao Jie took three eggs, cracked them, and mixed them evenly with chopsticks. She took out a little chicken fat from the bowl. It was boiled from the fat of the chicken after killing it. It was very fragrant and very small.
This kind of chicken fat is occasionally used when cooking for Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan called the soldiers to light the fire and let Cao Jie cook. Although there is no wok of later generations, the three-legged cauldron of this era can also be used. The three-legged cauldron is similar to the cauldron of later generations, except that it is supported by three legs.
Lu Xuan watched Cao Jie busy. He first greased the pan with chicken oil, then poured in the egg liquid and quickly stirred it into shape. The golden eggs exuded an attractive fragrance. Finally, Cao Jie poured in the rice and quickly turned it over.
When the rice and eggs are mixed together, the fragrance fills the air, and Cao Jie doll's face shows a look of joy.
"Okay, let's start the pot."
Cao Jie took two bowls to serve rice, gave one bowl to Lu Xuan, and took another bowl for himself. She looked at Lu Xuan with anticipation and said, "You give it a try, I'm sure it tastes delicious. I came up with this recipe myself."
Lu Xuan nodded and asked: "You really don't need other ingredients or more detailed methods for this egg fried rice?"
"Right, that is it."
Cao Jie nodded solemnly and said seriously: "This is made exclusively by me. Your Majesty, you are the first person to eat my cooking."
After Lu Xuan heard this, he determined that Cao Jie came up with the egg fried rice recipe by accident. In fact, for egg fried rice, you need to use overnight rice, add some chopped green onion to the pan at the end, mix it together and fry it to make it perfect.
Lu Xuan is not particular about it either. Cao Jie likes to do research, so he can let Cao Jie be responsible for it in the future. Lu Xuan also knows a lot about food, so he can let Cao Jie take over. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan became more and more happy.
He took a bite of the egg fried rice and it tasted good.
Cao Jie also concentrated on eating, taking small bites with a look of joy and satisfaction on his face.
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Jie's appearance, shook his head and chuckled.
This girl is so satisfied.
After Lu Xuan finished eating, he waited quietly. After a while, Cao Jie finished eating, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, thank you."
"You are my king's woman, what are you grateful for?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "It is my duty to take care of you. There is no need to say this."
Cao Jie hummed and nodded solemnly.
After the meal, the two of them left the camp and walked back. Although the weather was cold, Lu Xuan was not affected at all by living the Cao Festival.
Lu Xuan led Cao Jie to slow down and walked around the camp for a while before returning to the tent. Lu Xuan and Cao Jie were talking, talking about Cao Jie's hobbies and some interesting things.
From time to time, bursts of laughter could be heard in the camp.
Cao Jie felt that he was very happy talking to Lu Xuan. During the conversation between the two, their relationship quickly became closer. The distance between the two became closer and the atmosphere gradually became more charming. When talking about Cao Xian and Cao Xian's daughter, it suddenly turned to the matter of having children, and the atmosphere became even more ambiguous.
The two figures were already close to each other.
Cao Jie's big eyes were watery, his head was slightly lowered, and his fair and jade-like cheeks seemed to be stained with a layer of red clouds.
Lu Xuan had already kissed him.
