"It smells so good! Lao Meng, can you smell it?" While Lu Chen was cooking a pot in the kitchen, Fang Qiti, who was two doors away, took a sniff and then looked at Meng Ji, who was sitting opposite him. said.
"It's quite fragrant. The smell makes me greedy!" Of course Meng Ji also smelled the aroma of the boiling pot. They followed Lu Chen back. Lu Chen returned to the small courtyard, and they gathered in Fang Qi's courtyard. The two of them were not discussing something, but Fang Qi had secretly hidden a gourd of Du Kang, which Fang Qi had brought from Chang'an. He had never been willing to drink it, so the two of them planned to give the wine to Lu Chen.
"The smell seems to come from the military advisor!" Fang Qi stood up and opened the courtyard door, stretched his neck and smelled it, then turned to Meng Ji and said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for!" Meng Ji picked up the wine gourd on the small stone table and went out directly. Fang Qi hurriedly followed him when he saw it, "That's my wine!" Fang Qi closed the courtyard door and rushed Meng Ji shouted.
Just when Lu Chen was tearing up the cabbage and putting it into the pot, he heard a "bang" from the courtyard door, "Gouzi, go see what's going on!" Lu Chen wanted to stir-fry, but he couldn't do anything, so he asked the man who was cutting the mutton to the side. Liu Jing went to see what was going on.
As soon as Liu Jing walked out of the kitchen, he saw Meng Ji and Fang Qi walking in from the courtyard door one after another, and they were arguing and getting angry.
"Sir, it's General Meng and Colonel Fang who are here!" Liu Jing saw the two entering the hospital and hurried back to the kitchen to report to Lu Chen.
"Oh?" Lu Chen put down the spatula and turned to look at Meng Ji and Fang Qi who were walking towards the kitchen.
"Give me a shovel, don't burn the pot!" Lu Chen handed the spatula to Liu Jing and ordered, then picked up a hand towel and wiped his hands before walking out of the kitchen.
"Do you two have dog noses? Do you smell this?" Lu Chen looked at the two of them and cursed with a smile.
"It's not our fault. If we weren't familiar with the military advisor and could enter the hospital, there would still be a group of people standing outside the hospital looking expectantly!" Meng Ji didn't care about Lu Chen's teasing. This is how it is in the military camp. Only people who are close to you will laugh and curse at you. Meng Ji pointed at the door of the courtyard as he spoke.
Lu Chen looked in the direction of Meng Ji's finger, and saw several generals peeking in at the door. Their noses were twitching twice, greedily inhaling the aroma of food filling the air, and they were almost drooling. .
"Military advisor, we are not here in vain, but we have brought gifts!" Meng Ji said as he took out a gourd of Dukang as if offering a treasure and handed it to Lu Chen.
"What's here?" Lu Chen looked at the shiny wine gourd that was being rubbed.
"Dukang!" Meng Ji said with a smile, "But don't let the commander know about it. If the commander knows, he will be punished!"
"Oh!" Lu Chen said "Oh" and stopped talking.
Meng Ji and Fang Qi were immediately puzzled, "Don't Lu Chen like Du Kang?" They looked at each other and had no idea. Originally, they planned to use this wine to please Lu Chen, but now seeing Lu Chen's expressionless face, they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Know what to say.
It was a pity that the two of them did not notice Lu Chen's gaze, because while Meng Ji was talking to Lu Chen, three more people walked in from outside the door. They were none other than Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning, Ye Zhu and Lu Mingqiu.
This time Li Xiuning did not wear armor, but wore a goose-yellow outfit, with her hair tied high, a gold hairpin on top, and tassels swaying.
It was only when he saw Li Xiuning walking this way that Lu Chen didn't answer.
"General Meng, what can't you let me know?" Li Xiuning looked at Meng Ji and Fang Qi who turned stiffly when they heard his voice with a half-smiling expression.
The expressions of the two of them at this time were so wonderful.
"It's not...that..." Meng Ji was still holding a wine gourd in his hand. When he saw Li Xiuning, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Fang Qize next to him was very self-conscious. He took a step to the side with an expression that had nothing to do with me.
"Okay! How dare you hide such good wine privately!" At this time, Li Xiuning had already snatched the gourd from Meng Ji's hand, opened it and smelled it, and said angrily.
"This wine doesn't belong to me, it belongs to him!" Meng Ji directly pulled Fang Qi over, who was hiding aside, with a "die together" attitude.
"You obviously brought this wine, why do you say it's mine?!" Fang Qi immediately said, "This wine is definitely not mine."
"Okay! Stop pretending!" Li Xiuning put away his angry expression and said with a smile, "Did Fang Qi bring this wine from Chang'an?" Li Xiuning asked, playing with the wine gourd.
"Yes!" Fang Qi admitted directly with his head hanging down.
"I knew when you sold the wine. Are you planning to give it to Mr. Lu?" Li Xiuning continued to ask.
"I am poor and don't have anything valuable. When I met Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu not only didn't blame me, but the commander also promoted me to a higher position. Didn't I want to thank Mr. Lu! But I don't have anything. The only thing that can be obtained is the Du Kang brought by the gourd from Chang'an!" Fang Qi did not hide anything and directly said what was in his heart.
"What about you?" Li Xiuning turned to look at Meng Ji again.
"I just want to thank Mr. Lu for being merciful that day. Sir, you don't remember the faults of villains. Marshal, you also know that I am poorer than Lao Fang. He still has this bottle of gourd wine. I don't have any hair. This is not borrowing money from Lao Fang." Fang Zhiguang, why don’t you borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha?” Meng Ji chuckled innocently.
"I have to tell you, you two are setting up a frame-up. You want the commander-in-chief to be punished for hiding alcohol in the army next time!" Lu Chen said with a smile. In fact, Lu Chen said this to help these two people. Otherwise, If Li Xiuning really wanted to punish these two people for "hiding wine in the army," no one could say anything. Now that the two of them said that the wine was for them, Lu Chen took the matter on himself.
"Okay! Mr. Lu, please stop taking it from yourself. I have confiscated this wine! I will drink it at noon today!" Naturally, Li Xiuning will not punish them. What he said just now is just a joke. You know , Li Xiuning was very strict in running the army, and being able to say these words in front of Lu Chen was almost like the sun rising from the west.
Meng Ji and Fang Qi also looked at Li Xiuning in surprise. After all, this had never happened before. This shows how high Lu Chen's status in Li Xiuning's heart was.
Suddenly, a burning smell came over him, "Oh! My food!" As soon as he smelled the burning smell, Lu Chen turned around and slipped into the kitchen.
"Oh, you little bitch, you are so stubborn! If I ask you to do it for a while, you can do it in one place! I'm cooking my mutton with wok!" Li Xiuning and others were wondering when Lu Chen hurriedly returned to the kitchen to do it Well, I heard Lu Chen scolding Liu Jing and Lu Chen's heartbroken shouts coming from the kitchen.
