Warlord, Get Out Of My Way

Lin Miaoting only lowered her head to tidy up her clothes when the rice porridge in front of her was gone. She could only vaguely hear the two words' delicious' intermittently coming from the right.    

    

She was too lazy to argue with that person. Lin Miaoting secretly breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the chopsticks on the table. She planned to turn anger into appetite and vent it out properly.    

    

Because someone had already used the chopsticks, Lin Miaoting picked up the chopsticks and quickly walked towards the braised pork. The tip of the chopsticks had just touched the meat on the plate. She could only hear the sound of the meat on the plate. ...    

    

Smack!    

    

"You first, you first." Lin Miaoting said with an awkward but not polite smile. She took back her chopsticks in a bad mood and subconsciously bit the tip of the chopsticks with her mouth. Her eyes were full of disappointment. Her eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Yu's chopsticks. It was very pitiful.    

    

Lin Miaoting looked at Xuanyuan Yu, who was sitting opposite her. The skin of the boiled potato was peeled by a guard called Feng Ni beside her, then crushed and mixed with rice. He himself sat upright and serious. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.    

    

Perhaps it was because their chopsticks accidentally touched the braised pork, their right hand holding the chopsticks also retracted. Then, they slowly stretched out their slender fingers. They weren't as rough as a normal boy's hand, but instead, they had a delicate white skin that even girls would be jealous of. The fingers holding the chopsticks closed slightly and picked up the braised pork on the plate. After a moment of pause, the chopsticks moved slightly forward.    

    

Wait! What the hell was moving forward? Shouldn't he be moving forward?    

    

Lin Miaoting raised her head and looked at her with a pair of bright eyes.    

    

"You don't want it?" Her gentle voice had a trace of undetectable rashness, as if it was slowly flowing water. It was clear but very penetrating.    

    

"Huh, ah?" Lin Miaoting was a little embarrassed. She did not know how to answer. She could only pick up the small plate beside her and catch the braised pork that was brought over. She picked it up and put it into her mouth. Her face was red as she chewed.    

    

He didn't have the time or energy to look at Feng Ni, who was already petrified behind Xuanyuan Yu, and Xie Wuchen, whose eyes were full of surprise. He was so shocked that he didn't even have time to swallow the rice in his mouth.    

    

"Ahem!"    

    

The food was swallowed too hard that Xie Wuchen choked on it. "Water! Water!"    

    

Manager Lin quickly picked up the teapot on the table behind him and poured a cup of water for Xie Wuchen.    

    

"Are you okay?"    

    

Lin Miaoting asked tentatively. Xie Wuchen was about to answer when he heard Xuanyuan Yu cough. Xie Wuchen suppressed his curiosity and waved his hand. "Nothing, nothing."    

    

The meal was very quiet at the end. It could even be called strange. Even Xie Wuchen, who could be called a chatterbox, rarely only ate and did not speak.    

    

Not to mention Lin Kaishan and Manager Lin, who had no right to speak.    

    

Because he had lost the bet, Xie Wuchen could only watch helplessly as the remaining half a box of potatoes was ruthlessly pulled away by the cart Lin Miaoting hired. In the end, under various coercion and persuasion, soft words and persuasion from Lin Kaishan, Lin Miaoting left some potatoes for Xie Wuchen to satisfy his craving.    

    

The cart drove slowly. On the way back to the two villages, the dirt road made the cart bumble slightly.    

    

"Keer, when did you learn to cook so many delicious dishes? Father, why didn't your mother say so!" Lin Kaishan asked the question in his heart.    

    

"Oh," Lin Miaoting said. "Didn't brother teach me how to read? Then I read some books. There was one that happened to be a recipe and I wrote it down. "There were a lot of things recorded in it, and the seasoning from the last time was written in that book!"    

    

Then Ke Er, do you still have that book? " Lin Kaishan asked anxiously. He did not notice that the driver of the cart was also looking at them from time to time, as if he was paying attention to something.    

    

"Inner. Dad," Lin Miaoting said in a small voice, "I went up the mountain myself once. It was too cold, so I burned it."    

    

Lin Miaoting prayed in her heart that Lin Kaishan, who was obedient to his daughter, would believe her.    

    

"Sigh ~ Forget it." Lin Kaishan's tone was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and comforted his daughter, "As long as Keer is fine, it will be fine. If she burns, it will burn. When she is cold, it is most important to warm her body. Everything else does not matter."    

    

Lin Miaoting did not expect Lin Kaishan to accept her explanation so easily. She felt a little lucky in her heart. At the same time, she also sighed at how much trust this father had in her daughter.    

    

When the oxcart arrived at the northernmost part of the two villages, a large brick house appeared in front of them.    

    

"Elder brother, your house is really beautiful." The person driving the cart praised. "I see that in the entire two villages, brother's house is the most imposing!"    

    

"Haha, thank you." Lin Kaishan thanked him and took out the fifteen wen car money from his pocket.    

    

Because it was a chartered car, the fare was a little expensive. Moreover, the cart wasn't actually from two villages. It was just a neighboring village that ran around. When they returned, it was inevitable that they would not have any work to do. It was the same logic as modern taxis going to remote places at a high price.    

    

Lin Kaishan and the driver carried the potato box into the yard.    

    

Lin Kaishan asked the driver to take a rest on the stone bench built in the yard and drink some water before going back. He then ordered Lin Miaoting to fetch water for people to drink.    

    

"Good fellow. This courtyard is much more imposing than the outside. Looking at the long corridor, this house has just been built not long ago, right? It's quite new!"    

    

"Mm."    

    

Lin Kaishan chatted with the driver. Lin Miaoting held a big bowl of warm water and handed it to the driver. The driver drank the water quickly and thanked her before leaving.    

    

After a long time, Lin Miaoting arrived at the town. She could always hear some people talking about a rich man living in a big house in the two villages. How grand was the house? Some people even asked about the family affairs of the rich man, and some even asked if there was a son who was not married. Or if there was a daughter who was married. This also made Liu Cuiying of Linglong Cloth shop ask when Lin Miaoting went to buy things.    

    

"What is this thing? Why haven't I seen it before?" Tang Xuemei walked out of the main house in an apron and asked when she saw the box of potatoes at Lin Kaishan's feet.    

    

"The young master of Jufu Restaurant said that the tributes were called potatoes and Keer insisted that they were also called potatoes. Anyway, it's a rare thing." Lin Kaishan explained to Tang Xuemei.    

    

Tang Xuemei picked up a potato from the box and looked around. She said with a face full of disdain, "It looks so shabby and it is a rare thing. The tribute is not to fool the emperor, right?"    

    

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Kaishan quickly stopped him. "The potatoes are so delicious. Keer won the bet with the young boss and got them back. It's really rare."    

    

Lin Kaishan said proudly.
