Chapter 160: A bunch of foodies
Yue Ren looked at An Huo expectantly and asked impatiently, "Brother An Huo, did you bring back any delicious food today?" He had been waiting for the whole morning. He had already heard the news that those greedy guys were dragging a cart of meat and vegetables to the Su Mansion today.
Anhuo answered coldly: "I don't know." In fact, he really didn't know. He had not yet checked what was done with the food he brought back.
Yue Ren was not afraid of his cold face at all, and still said with a smile: "Brother Anhuo, let's eat together." He knew that Brother Anhuo must have secretly kept some for himself. Whenever he sold beef patties in the past, he would always bring one for him.
Anhuo treated Yueren Lulai as his younger brother. He said "hmm", and then the two of them returned to Anhuo's house and started fighting with food.
The two opened the food box with great anticipation. The red peppers were paired with the soft and chewy beef tendons, and the fresh green onion slices. The aroma of onion mixed with the aroma of beef tendons domineeringly penetrated into their nostrils.
The two of them looked at the translucent beef tendon bowl, which was filled with tempting red oil, and they both swallowed involuntarily at the same time.
The taste is amazing! It's springy, soft, and a little chewy! Spicy and delicious, we finished two bowls of rice with just this one dish.
Anhuo thought that this good thing must have been found from somewhere by that fat guy Xuanfeng. Next time he steals his food, he will give him a lighter beating.
Dark Fire, you must remember this sentence...
When they opened the next layer of the food box, they found stir-fried prawns with chili peppers, delicious venison in a bowl, and Aunt Fang's homemade stir-fried chili peppers with soybean sauce. The bean flavor was particularly strong and went really well with rice. The two of them finished two more bowls without realizing it.
After Prince Ye finished reading the book, he felt a little hungry. When he wanted to order food, he found that the two guards beside him were not there. He did not think much about it and just thought they were busy with other things.
So, Ye Dynasty shouted "Serve the meal" a few times outside the door, but strangely, no one responded.
King Ye couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Where did these people go?
With doubts, Prince Ye slowly stood up, walked out of the study, and headed towards the guards' dormitory. However, before he reached his destination, he smelled an alluring aroma coming from the dark fire room.
The aroma was so strong that it was hard to ignore. King Ye strode into the dark fire room and was secretly surprised by the scene before him.
He saw two personal guards beside him who were usually quite steady, holding an oversized bowl and stuffing food into their mouths frantically. They looked like they had been hungry for a long time as they wolfed down the food.
A hint of surprise flashed in King Ye's narrow and long almond-shaped eyes. Did he usually abuse his subordinates?
Anhuo reacted quickly. When he heard the footsteps, he immediately stopped eating and raised his head. His eyes met King Ye's. In an instant, the beef tendon on his chopsticks fell into the bowl.
Yue Ren, who was standing next to him, saw Brother An Huo's surprised expression, and he also followed An Huo's gaze and looked over.
"Prince?" Yue Ren's pretty face was full of confusion. He thought, why did the prince come to their room? Did he have something important to discuss with them?
Yue Ren immediately stood up and knelt on one knee. He said respectfully: "I am guilty and asked Your Majesty to come to us. What are your orders?"
Anhuo seemed to have just reacted and knelt down to apologize.
Then King Ye looked at the guard commander Anhuo, who was usually strict, cold and unsmiling. His resolute square face remained the same, but there was a grain of rice hanging at the corner of his mouth.
Yue Ren, the personal guard who usually loves cleanliness and always carries a handkerchief with him, was eating with greasy food in his mouth, showing no image at all.
Prince Ye's eyes accidentally swept across the food box on the table, and a teasing smile appeared on his handsome face: "It seems that you are starving in the palace, and you have to go out to find food to satisfy your hunger. From now on, I will increase your monthly salary by twenty taels each. How about it?"
Anhuo and Yueren looked at each other, and joy appeared in their eyes at the same time. They kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward."
Anhuo thought that in the past, he had spent his money on buying beef patties in the restaurant, and he didn't have any private money saved. With the extra twenty taels every month, he would have thirty taels, which he could use to reward Aunt Fang. Then he could ask Aunt Fang to cook for him, and it wouldn't be so difficult for him to ask her.
Yue Ren was thinking that with these extra twenty taels, he would be able to save more money when he got married in the future. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even wider.
If King Ye knew what his subordinate Yue Ren was thinking, he would just say, kid, you're only twenty-three, is it really a good idea to want to get married early?
King Ye certainly didn't know what his two subordinates were thinking, but his noble face was a little broken at this moment. He couldn't help but shrug his shoulders slightly. He immediately turned around and ordered: "Go and serve the meal to me. The management of the guard camp is too lax. We can't even find someone to serve. We must strictly control them in the future."
Anhuo and Yueren quickly said, "Yes, we will serve the meal right away."
After the two subordinates left, King Ye could no longer hold back and started to laugh heartily, without any dignity in front of his subordinates. He murmured: "It's so funny, it's just a little food, why do you have to eat it like this?"
The way he laughed seemed to be that young man in his early twenties, freely traveling among the mountains and rivers. It seemed that the years had only added mature charm to him, rather than any trace of age.
He had no idea how painful it would be when he was hit on the face later...
