Who would have thought that Minister Qin's daughter, Prince Zhong Shun's wife, would take the initiative to offer to cook a meal for this group of Jianghu heroes?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Bao Hu was the first to react. In the eyes of the Qin Clan, they were all servants hired by her to deliver the coffin. What kind of master would take the initiative to cook for her servants?
Moreover, after leaving the capital, Bao Hu felt that something was amiss. Even if the Family had declined and no one delivered coffins, it shouldn't be possible for them to only have Lord Qin's only daughter, right? Could it be that they didn't even have a servant or a martial arts master?
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Yining was just a delicate woman who couldn't cause any trouble, Bao Hu would have already made the first move.
"There's no need for that." Bao Hu smiled and said, "We're all rough people who are used to digging for food in the fields. A group of rough men like us can eat anything. If Boss doesn't think the food is delicious, just tell me what you want to eat. I'll do my best to find it for you. "
Qin Yining seemed to know that they wouldn't agree, so she wasn't discouraged. She immediately changed her mind and said, "It's not that I don't think the food is delicious. I don't have a big appetite, so how much can I eat? It's mainly because everyone is tired.
"When my father was alive, he taught me that I shouldn't judge others based on my status. Even though we're in an employer-employee relationship, there aren't a lot of people in my family. After my father passed away, Your Majesty didn't say anything, so all of my relatives didn't dare to get close. If it weren't for you, this funeral would be very sad and miserable. My father didn't even have any glory after his death.
"That's why I want to personally cook for you to express my gratitude. Of course, if you don't want to eat, that's fine. When we get to my family's ancestral home, I'll reward everyone. "
Qin Yining's words were reasonable. Coupled with her gentle appearance, everyone's hearts softened.
Bao Hu was the leader of a group of bandits. Even if he didn't care much about the imperial court, he had heard that after Qin Huaiyuan's death, no one from his Family Qin dared to come to pay their respects.
Now that she had said that, the doubts in his heart had been resolved. Presumably, none of the Qin Clan's subordinates had been seen. When the tree topples, the monkeys scatter. When the calamity struck, they all flew away separately.
Bao Hu looked Qin Yining up and down again. Looking at her slender figure, dressed in mourning dress, she was like a willow branch swaying in the wind. What could such a delicate girl do?
He just wanted to cook a dish, and the cheapest part was his internal organs. Moreover, he was watching from the side. The water was carried by his people and the vegetables were found by his people. What could she do?
Thinking up to this point, Bao Hu grinned. "Boss is a kind and honest person. Lord Qin's reputation among the commoners was also very good. However, it's difficult to become a person and an official. Forget it, you can do whatever you want. Since you said you want to cook, then let's cook. "He had a doting look on his face.
Qin Yining's heart was filled with joy. However, on the surface, she only nodded indifferently. She didn't appear to be very enthusiastic.
Bao Hu had the people who were cooking the wild vegetable soup move to the side. Some of them were too slow and even got kicked in the butt.
Qin Yining saw Bao Hu's eagerness. She didn't express any disgust or any other emotions. She controlled her attitude perfectly so that Bao Hu wouldn't immediately make a move on her. However, she also gave Bao Hu some hope so that he wouldn't fly into a rage out of humiliation. She was only giving him some hope to keep him in suspense.
Qin Yining began to pick the wild vegetables. Some of the soil on the vegetables hadn't been washed clean, so she had someone prepare water to clean them again.
Bao Hu crossed his arms and watched Qin Yining wash the vegetables. He even asked someone to find a small knife to cut the vegetables. No matter how he looked at her, he felt that she was pleasing to the eye. He secretly thought that even though this beauty was just cooking, she was still able to make people's hearts go wild. If she could be like this in the village, it would be great to look at her as if she was a painting.
With that thought in mind, Bao Hu made up his mind to help Qin Yining.
Qin Yining didn't hesitate to order him around. He had Bao Hu retrieve a freshly hunted wild rabbit to clean up and then had Bao Hu cut the meat.
When the surrounding people who were cooking saw that Bao Hu and Qin Yining were actually working together, they tactfully moved away even though they didn't want to miss the chance to look at the beauty. After all, Bao Hu had already accumulated a lot of power. Who would dare to provoke him?
Not long after, the entire campsite of more than a hundred people was lit up with smoke. The mountain bandits gathered in groups of three to five and sat around a small pot to eat. Only Qin Yining was in the center of the campsite, where Bao Hu was. The other mountain bandits all hid far away to avoid spoiling the situation.
"Boss, what do you think about this?"
Bao Hu chuckled. The way he looked at Qin Yining was like a starving beast that had seen its prey. He was even more determined to get it.
Qin Yining nodded. Without saying a word, he pinched some salt and added it into the rabbit meat and wild vegetable soup. He stirred it a little, then took a ceramic bowl and scooped some soup for Bao Hu.
Bao Hu received the bowl with both hands, feeling somewhat flattered. He slurped a mouthful and said, "Aiya, boss's culinary skills are not bad!"
Qin Yining smiled and didn't say much.
Her culinary skills were only ordinary. This Bao Hu had bad intentions, which was why he was able to taste something different.
However, this was exactly what Qin Yining hoped for.
Qin Yining washed his hands, took a steamed bun, got up, and walked towards the carriage.
"I'm a little tired. I want to rest for a while."
Bao Hu said, "There's still a pot of meat soup. Aren't you going to eat it?"
"I don't have much of an appetite. I'll just eat some dried food."
Qin Yining walked towards the carriage.
Bao Hu looked at Qin Yining's slender back. She was dressed in white. Her long hair was tied up in a simple bun, revealing her slender and fair neck. The curve of her neck and shoulders was exceptionally beautiful. There were also white silk flowers in her hair.
Perhaps she was too sad to eat because she had lost her family?
Bao Hu took a bite of the steamed bun as he drank the soup.
The brothers around him came over and whispered, "Second Master, how is it? Is that woman interested in you? "
Someone scooped the soup and distributed it to the people around him.
Bao Hu drank another big mouthful of soup and took a bite of the steamed bun. He said in a muffled voice, "Get lost, you bunch of brats. Why are you so nosy!"
Everyone laughed and drank the soup while praising in an exaggerated manner, "Ai, this soup is not bad!"
"The taste of a rich family's daughter is indeed different!"
"What do you mean by that? Haha!"
Bao Hu's heart was already fluttering, but after hearing these people's words, it became even more unbearable. He looked at the sky. The orange sunset was hanging on the horizon. It was so gorgeous that even a boorish person like Bao Hu couldn't help but admire it.
"Tsk tsk, I'll go take a look." Bao Hu walked towards the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yining got out of the carriage. She glanced at Bao Hu before walking towards the forest behind them.
Bao Hu asked loudly, "Boss, where are you going?"
Qin Yining said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to the forest for a while."
Her meaning was vague but clear. She was the only woman here, and he hadn't seen her go to the bathroom all day.
