Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 166 Ancient Times (20)

Ada parked the two carriages and parked the rear of the carriage where Banxia was sitting, facing the direction of the river. Finally, he untied the reins of the four horses and led them to the downstream of the river to drink water. Banxia opened the rear frame from inside the carriage, then got off the carriage, came to the rear of the carriage, and placed the pots and pans one after another. Then he picked up a lot of firewood from all around and started to make a fire to cook.

The first thing Banxia did after starting the fire was to boil some hot water in the copper kettle she brought, and then she started to do other things.

Ada led the horses to the river and didn't care about them anymore. After all, it was just the beginning of spring and there was plenty of water and grass, so there was no need to feed them specially in the wild. And with Zhuixue around, there was no need for anyone to worry about them. So Ada caught a few fish in the river, cleaned them, and gave them to Banxia.

"Miss Banxia."

Hearing Ah Da calling her, Ban Xia, who was preparing the ingredients, stopped what she was doing, looked up at Ah Da, and took out a basin from the car. "It's just right for grilling fish. Put it in this bowl. The fish is quite fat, the girl will definitely like it. Please build a stove next to it, and by the way, see if there are any edible mushrooms. Pick some up and I'll grill them together."

"Well, I'll go right away."

Banxia and Ada really live up to the saying: work is not tiring when men and women work together!

From preparing the ingredients to cooking the meal, it took less than an hour and Banxia had prepared meals for several people.

When the carriage stopped, Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi had already woken up, but neither of them got off. Ji Xiao was afraid of adding to Banxia's psychological pressure, and Li Xiangyi didn't know how to do that, so neither of them got off.

The two of them were on the upstairs terrace, enjoying the gentle breeze, drinking tea and appreciating the beautiful spring scenery in the wild.

Moreover, it is the busy farming season. It is still early and there are no caravans on the road. Apart from the sound of Banxia cooking, the only sounds are birds singing, the wind blowing through the trees, and the sound of flowing water in the river.

Soon, Banxia's voice came, "Girl, the food is ready. Where do you and Mr. Li want to eat?"

"Just outside. We'll be down soon, and you'd better call me Miss when we're out."

"Yes, ma'am."

As they spoke, Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi jumped down from the second-floor terrace. Neither of them walked down normally, and the place was not high, and there was no shelter or people below.

The two walked to the table and sat down. Ji Xiao looked at the sumptuous lunch and said to Banxia and the others, "Sit down and eat."

"Yes."

Seeing the two of them sitting down, Ji Xiao stopped paying attention to them. She first served Li Xiangyi a bowl of mushroom soup, and then served herself a bowl. She said, "In addition to making medicine, Banxia also makes good soups. You can try some. There is also grilled fish."

Li Xiangyi took it, took a sip and tasted it, and said, "Thank you, it really tastes good."

"Eat more if you like. There's also a sweet soup after the meal. I think you'll like it."

Based on her usual observations, Banxia also prepared a serving of glutinous rice balls and taro sweet soup when cooking. However, she adjusted the soup according to Ji Xiao's taste, so it would not be too sweet, so it would not be greasy to eat. After cooling down a little, it tasted refreshing and sticky.

Hearing that there would be sweet soup after the meal, Li Xiangyi ate much faster. "Hmm."

Ji Xiao found Li Xiangyi's reaction very cute and wanted to laugh, but she didn't. Instead, she ate slowly with a smile in her eyes. When Ji Xiao had almost finished eating, Li Xiangyi had already finished the sweet soup.

When Banxia was serving Li Xiangyi, she also served a bowl for Ji Xiao and put it aside, so Ji Xiao also picked up the spoon and started eating.

Li Xiangyi touched his stomach and whispered, "I'm so full!"

Even if she heard it, Ji Xiao pretended not to hear it. After all, the look in someone's eyes clearly showed that he wanted to eat another bowl.

So Ji Xiao asked loudly, "Is there any more sweet pinellia soup? Serve another bowl for Master Li."

"Miss, there happens to be another small bowl. I'll bring it over right away."

"Give it to Master Li."

Li Xiangyi took it and said thank you. Ji Xiao looked at the tangled Li Xiangyi and finished the last mouthful of sweet soup in her bowl before saying, "Eat it. I brought some digestive medicine. I'll give you two pills later."

After hearing this, Li Xiangyi ate the last small bowl of food without hesitation, and Ji Xiao also took out some digestive pills from the building. After he put down the bowl, Ji Xiao gave the pills to him.
