Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 142 Fried Tenderloin

As soon as Yi Ru finished speaking, the women kneeling behind her responded one after another. Some shouted loudly, some knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and some put their hands together and prayed:

"Save us! We have nowhere to go!"

"Give us a way out, sir!"

"We are willing to sell ourselves as slaves, please take us in!"

"If I go back like this, my father will make me drown in a pig cage!"

……

None of the well-trained caravan members spoke. Luo Xiaoran and Niu Dan were not in a position to speak. Everyone's eyes were on Yun Hu.

Yun Hu pursed his lips tightly, it's not that he hadn't thought about how these women would cope in the future, but the Dongfeng caravan was out and about, safety was the most important thing, destroying the bandit's nest and rescuing the people could only be considered a matter of convenience, there was no need for him to create more trouble.

Moreover, the dry food prepared for this escort was only enough for the entire caravan to eat as far as Dingzhou, and then they would replenish their dry food in Dingzhou before continuing to Yizhou.

If we take these women with us, there won’t be enough dry food.

Thinking of this, Yun Hu issued a third warning: "I have done my best to save you. Now don't block the road. Go--"

The muscular black horse bypassed Yi Ru and the women behind her and headed towards its destination indifferently and arrogantly. However, the carriage, which was quite large, could not bypass it.

Then, more than a dozen caravan servants came out and carried the woman kneeling on the ground to the side of the road, making way for the carriage to pass.

Although Luo Xiaoran felt very sympathetic towards these women, she was currently struggling to take care of herself and even Niu Dan, so she could only say in her heart that she could do nothing to help.

Luo Xiaoran still remembered the rules of the Dongfeng Caravan. After all the carriages had left, she followed the caravan with Niu Dan, continuing to be its tail.

"Wait! Little girl!"

"You called me?" Luo Xiaoran turned around and saw the girl named Yi Ru.

Yi Ru trotted over to Luo Xiao Ran and knelt down:

"You are the only woman in the entire caravan. You must be special. Please, help us to speak for us! We really have no other way out."

"Hey--"

Luo Xiaoran sighed deeply, "I am not one of them. I am just a bully. I don't have the face to plead for you."

Luo Xiaoran's mind was very clear, and Yun Hu probably didn't want to keep eating those dry and cold naan on the road.

And she could improve Yunhu's food from time to time, which was exactly what he wanted, so Yunhu didn't care about her little actions following the caravan, that was all.

Yunhu looks handsome, clean-cut and easy to talk to, but in fact he is very principled.

In his eyes, the caravan comes first, and he doesn't care about anything else.

Luo Xiaoran rode away on horseback with Niu Dan, and Yi Ru's last glimmer of hope was extinguished. The sisters in distress behind her surrounded her.

"If I had known this, I would have just done what the others did and killed myself. This world is so big, there is no place for us here."

"Wow, wow, wow, if my father knew that I stayed in the bandit's den for such a long time and lost my virginity, he would definitely hang me with a white silk ribbon. I don't want to die."

"Sister Yiru, please think of a solution!"

……

Yi Ru laughed bitterly and tried to think of a solution. What else could she think of?

Thinking of her Tangtang... Never mind, there is no need to mention the past. She just needs to remember that she promised her mother that she would live well.

How to live?

Yi Ru looked up at Luo Xiaoran. She held the reins in one hand with her back straight, and protected the boy behind her with the other hand to prevent him from falling off the horse. The sunlight shone on her, quiet as smoke, steady as a rock.

Yi Ru was a little fascinated by what she saw. It was obvious that she was not yet of marriageable age. Why would a little girl who was not yet of marriageable age appear on this official road, with a boy, and look so calm and composed?

"Let's follow them and... try to use the power of others to intimidate others." Yi Ru heard that her voice was very small, like a mosquito or fly, but everyone heard it.

Yi Ru's voice became louder: "If you still want to live, then follow them. If you die of exhaustion on the road, that's also a destination."

……

This time they seized the bandit's den, but the caravan didn't take any of the property inside, and left it all to the women. Although the amount wasn't much, if they cheered up and had a firm mind, they might be able to make a living with the money they had.

Thinking of this, Yun Hu put aside the last bit of entanglement in his heart, but he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

It was not until the evening that Luo Xiaoran brought a plate of meat.

The skin was golden brown, probably because it was fried, but there was a tiny wooden stick stuck on every two or three pieces of meat, which looked very strange.

"What is this?" Yun Hu asked.

"This is made with pork tenderloin, which is the tender strips of meat inside the pig's spine. I used flour, pepper powder, salt and sugar, and marinated it for a whole incense stick of time before frying it in the pan. It must be flavorful!" Luo Xiaoran replied.

Yun Hu pointed at the plate and asked, "What are these wooden sticks for?"

Luo Xiaoran simply picked up a wooden skewer with two large pieces of tenderloin on it, took a bite, and signaled to Yun Hu:

"You can just skewer the meat and eat it with a wooden stick. It's very convenient and you don't need to use chopsticks."

So that's what it is. Seeing that Luo Xiaoran had finished eating both pieces of meat on the wooden skewer, Yun Hu couldn't wait to pick up a wooden skewer and began to taste the tenderloin on it.

It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes delicious. The flavors of pepper, saltiness and sweetness mixed together are very appetizing and refreshing.

As they enjoyed the meal, Yun Hu couldn't help but praise, "You little girl have so many cooking styles!"

"That's right!" Luo Xiaoran said without any modesty, and then said with some regret:

"It's a pity there's no chili pepper. If it's marinated with chili powder, the fried tenderloin will be more delicious!"

"Chili? What is that?"

Yun Hu threw the bare wooden skewer aside casually, picked up another one from the plate and asked.

Luo Xiaoran had already eaten the meat before she brought it to Yun Hu, so she didn't want to eat this plate of tenderloin, and there was no need for her to hold the plate.

Putting the plate in Yun Hu's hand, Luo Xiaoran began to popularize science about chili peppers. This was not the first time she introduced chili peppers to the local residents of Daliang, but she just couldn't stop thinking about chili peppers!

“Chili pepper is a plant, but if you find it, you will probably use it as a traditional Chinese medicine.

However, chili peppers are used as seasonings in our place. The taste of chili peppers is very... special. After eating it, people feel like they are being... burned by fire."

"Burned by fire?" Yun Hu almost threw away the tenderloin skewer in his hand. "It's already burned by fire, and you're still eating it?"

Luo Xiaoran rolled her eyes and said, "Tsk, what a fuss."

“It’s just a description. After eating the chili peppers, my mouth felt hot, I wanted to breathe heavily, and I was sweating from the inside out.

By the way, the North is very suitable for eating chili peppers! In winter, a spicy hot pot is both appetizing and keeps away the cold! "
