ATBLM [QT] Chapter 140.1

In fact, there was some porridge and steamed buns in the kitchen, but the Owner of the village could not eat the same breakfast as ordinary people. Besides, they learned from the boy that there were friends of the Village Owner coming back to the house this time, so they could not neglect them.

The people who went out to buy things had not come back yet. Although there were live chickens and ducks in the house, it took time to slaughter them, and it was too common to use them to entertain guests. Therefore, Jiang Rui thought about it and planned to make delicious and tender eel noodles as the main dish and supplement it with other snacks.

The eel in the water tank at the back was caught by Wu’er a few days ago to play with. The eel only came out of the hole in spring and was relatively skinny. Fortunately, after raising it these days, it had gained some meat and looked quite plump.

Throw the eel unconscious, clean the contents in the belly, remove the bones, and cut it into shredded eels. Then, blanch the eel with cooking wine, green onion, and ginger, remove it, and put it into the oil pan. Next, add shredded ginger, cooking wine, and soy sauce and sauté until fragrant.

After simmering for a while, add the stock in the kitchen, add shredded bamboo shoots, shredded mushrooms, and shredded cabbage, bring to a boil over low heat, thicken with sesame oil, sprinkle with a little pepper to taste, and pour it over the cooked noodles.

Jiang Rui moved skillfully, and with many people helping her, the whole process was completed in less than a quarter of an hour.

After having two bowls of hot eel noodles, paired with the previously prepared shredded chicken porridge, mountain delicacies steamed buns, and several plates of side dishes, they packed two food boxes and asked the boy to take them away.

Everyone in the kitchen wiped their sweat, and Liu Liu made a face at the boy’s back, “It’s really annoying. He keeps urging me. When the Owner came back, didn’t he wash up and change clothes first? We obviously have plenty of time, but he wants us to conjure up a table of dishes right away. We are not gods.”

Sister Zhang took a breath while sitting at the table and said: “It’s not easy for him. If he leaves early, he may not get a reward. If he leaves late, he will be scolded, so he can only come to rush us. Fortunately, Sanniang is here today, otherwise, a group of us will have to be scolded, and maybe even fined monthly.”

“Yeah,” Liu Liu turned to look at Jiang Rui, with a look of admiration, “Sister San was so awesome just now. She danced with the spoon as if it was about to fly. It was even more beautiful than those guards in the mansion who were practicing kung fu.”

Jiang Rui smiled and said: “Didn’t you say you were hungry just now? Now you are finally free. Let’s eat quickly. Mama Li will be back soon, and we will have work to do.”

Liu Liu was right. The boy brought the food box to the main courtyard. The Village Owner hadn’t finished changing yet. Fortunately, there was a charcoal fire in the food box to keep it warm.

Even so, the maidservant in the main courtyard still looked dissatisfied: “Why are you bringing it now?”

“Everyone is becoming more and more lazy.”

The boy could only apologize with a smile.

Ningxiang and Yunxiang each took a food box and put it on the table in the side hall. When they heard the voices of the Owner and the guests in the distance, they hurriedly brought out the breakfast and left.

This is the rule of the house. Although they are big maids, the Owner of the village usually does not want anyone to wait in front of them. Some cleaning work can only be done after the Owner leaves the room.

Their status was higher than that of other servants in the mansion, and they were usually quite arrogant, but they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Owner of the village. Those who were bold had become a lesson to others.

From far to near, two people were talking, but there was only one footstep. People didn’t know what was said, but a younger voice suddenly burst out laughing. At the same time, someone came and opened the curtain of the side hall.

The first person to enter was a tall young man. He looked handsome, moved freely, and carried a sword behind his back. He was dressed like a young hero.

After he walked in, he did not sit down immediately. Instead, he took a step to the side, raised the door curtain high, and said: “This habit of yours is really weird. You are clearly being served, but you don’t leave people in the room. I think you want me to be the doorman who opens the curtains for you.”

“Thank you, Brother Liu.” Another voice said. The voice was slightly low and magnetic, and then someone walked in. To be precise, he was sitting in a wheelchair and slid in silently.

This person is Ling Yuan, the Owner of Mingshan Village. He has a handsome appearance, a gentle expression, and an elegant demeanor, but if you want to guess his exact age, it is hard to tell.

The rise of Mingshan Village in the world has only happened in the past ten years. No one knew where its owner came from or what his background was. All people know was that he established the famous Mingshan Village overnight. What was even more incredible was that the Owner of the village was actually a bad person.

In the early years, some people tried to bully him because of his limited mobility and wanted to take advantage of him, but in the end, they all left and never came back. There was a lot of discussion in the world for a while, thinking that there was another Demon Sect.

But later, it was found out that those who came to fight against the autumn wind, under the persuasion of the Owner of the village, abandoned their evil ways, adopted good deeds, and became disciples of the village.

In the past few years, Mingshan Villa had been praised for its many righteous deeds in the world, and the Owner of the village, Ling Yuan, had also become a well-known chivalrous man on the right path.

Ling Yuan went out this time, ostensibly to celebrate the 60th birthday of Leader Liu of the Martial Arts Alliance, but in reality, he was discussing a plan to defeat the Demon Sect with his colleagues from the Righteous Path.

And this Liu Xingfeng, Young Master Liu, is the son of Alliance Leader Liu Laolai. He has some friendship with Ling Yuan and is a frequent visitor to Mingshan Villa.
