    Seeing how cute she was, Xie Dongxiang couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you making such an expression?"

    Lin Xuanjiu said sincerely, "If you hadn't always had a high reputation in Daye, I would have suspected that you were a workman from Datong."

    "Pfft, Datong doesn't have the ability to drive me to such meticulous work." Xie Dongxiang laughed.

    Lin Xuanjiu hesitated and asked, "Are you familiar with Prince Tuoba?"

    It felt like the tone between the two of them didn¡¯t sound like someone they just met.

    Xie Dongxiang smiled and said, "Yeah, although we haven't met before, we know each other."

    He didn¡¯t want to say more, so Lin Xuanjiu didn¡¯t ask any more questions.

    Not long after, Tuoba Yuhan came back and brought back a sheepskin map, spread it on the bed, and started discussing it with Xie Dongxiang.

    Lin Xuanjiu had already changed his clothes, stepped lightly and walked out.

    The outside of the house was empty, with the shadows of a few old trees dancing. Lin Xuan looked up along the tree trunks for a long time, and his eyes were almost blurred before he could distinguish the secret guards hidden in the shadows of the trees.

    It seems that no job is easy to do.

    Lin Xuanjiu found the tall maid Dolan, "I want to borrow the kitchen."

    Dolan led her to the kitchen without saying a word and set aside a stove for her to use.

    The customs and customs of Datong are there, so their kitchen is destined not to be very sophisticated. The stove is made of earth and rocks, and the seasonings are pitiful.

    Lin Xuan awkwardly cooked a pot of red dates and pork liver porridge on the earth stove for a long time.

    After returning, Tuoba Yuhan had left. Xie Dongxiang was washing his face under the service of the maid. Lin Xuanjiu put the porridge on the table and took the handkerchief.

    "I'll come, you go down."

    The maid put down her things and withdrew.

    Xie Dongxiang pouted his face and let Lin Xuanjiu scrub him, "Ah Jiu was so gentle, those maids almost wiped a layer of skin off my face."

    Lin Xuanjiu was not in such a relaxed and good mood as he was, "Are the people who ambush us coming after us?"

    "Yes." Xie Dongxiang didn't shy away from her, "It should be said that the helper who ambushed us is coming."

    Lin Xuanjiu chewed the meaning of this sentence carefully, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, "The person who ambushed us in the river was not from Datong?"

    "Of course not. No matter how flexible Datong's cavalry is, they will not be able to penetrate deep into the hinterland without being noticed."

    Lin Xuanjiu felt cold in his heart, "Is it someone from Daye who wants to kill you?"

    "To be precise, he wants to kill all of us, me, grandpa, and you - the ugly doctor."

    Lin Xuan didn¡¯t understand for a long time why Xie Dongxiang could still look so calm. Just hearing this bit of news made her feel so uncomfortable that she almost suffocated.

    "The country you are loyal to wants to kill you!"

    Xie Dongxiang smiled lightly, "Ajiu, are you scared?"

    "It's not fear!" she defended, it was sadness!

    Xie Dongxiang defended his family and country, guarded the borders, and quelled the war, but he was stabbed by the people behind him.

    She would feel aggrieved for him.

    Xie Dongxiang rubbed her hair, "There are always short-sighted people who only care about their own interests and ignore the suffering of the world.

    I guard the peace of the border, not for those people, but for the common people like Ah Jiu.  "

    Lin Xuanjiu felt sour in his heart, "Yeah."

    Xie Dongxiang has great courage and righteousness in his heart, which are things he never gives up no matter how he is treated.

    "I'm hungry, what did you cook for me?" Xie Dongxiang changed the subject.

    "Pork liver porridge will replenish your blood."

    "Give me a taste."

    "I'll give it to you." Lin Xuanjiu stood up.

    Later in the evening, Tuoba Yuhan came again.

    Xie Dongxiang kept everything secret from Lin Xuanjiu, but Tuoba Yuhan obviously cared about it.

    When they were discussing matters, Lin Xuanjiu consciously avoided them.

    She woke up early and felt angry, so she impulsively provoked her for a moment, but that was all. She didn't have the habit of looking for trouble and was not prepared to test Tuoba Yuhan's bottom line.

    Anyway, after Tuoba Yuhan left, Xie Dongxiang would tell her the content of the discussion.

    Three days passed peacefully.

    Xie Dongxiang¡¯s injury has recovered well and he is able to get out of bed and move around in a small area.

    Lin Xuanjiu insisted on using Qi acupuncture to treat him every day, which once again proved that Qi Jin has a healing effect.

    According to thisIn this case, the injury will be cured within a month at most.

    Lin Xuanjiu is going to make stir-fry today. She eats pancakes, pancakes, and fried rice every day. It really makes her a little unappetized, and she misses steamed rice and stir-fry very much.

    But before cooking, Lin Xuanjiu had to do some preparation work.

    Purified fine salt.

    There is no shortage of salt in Huaining City, but the quality of the salt is not high. It is blue-black rock salt with a lot of impurities.

    This has been through water-soluble filtration, and large particle impurities have been filtered out, leaving only small molecule mineral impurities.

    What Lin Xuanjiu has to do is to refine and purify it further.

    She took a large jar of salt, boiled the water, dissolved the salt into the water, filtered it roughly, and poured the ground raw soy milk juice into the water.

    Soon, big lumps of scum floated up, which were protein pellets that had been aggregated under the action of salt and brine impurities.

    Lin Xuanjiu scooped out the dregs, then poured in the raw soy milk, repeating this process three times, until the brine no longer scooped out the dregs.

    At this time, the salt water is already very clear, and of course the weight has been reduced by more than half.

    Lin Xuanjiu handed over the rest of the work to the maid, "Look at the pot and boil out the remaining salt water, and the salt will come out."

    She was worried about Xie Dongxiang after staying in the kitchen for so long.

    Tuoba Yuhan was also in the room. He glanced at Lin Xuanjiu and asked, "What are you busy with?"

    "Boil the salt. The salt you have here is too astringent to cook."

    Tuoba Yuhan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sneered, "Do you know how to make salt?"

    Even Xie Dongxiang looked over in surprise.

    Lin Xuan ignored him for a long time and asked Xie Dongxiang, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

    "Let's make some stir-fried pork. It's the favorite dish of the people in Daye." Tuoba Yuhan said first.

    Lin Xuanjiu couldn't help but retort, "That's your favorite dish, right?"

    Tuoba Yuhan raised his head arrogantly, "I don't like Daye's food, it's not delicious!"

    "Humph!" Lin Xuanjiu rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with him, and ran to Xie Dongxiang for comfort.

    Xie Dongxiang¡¯s eyes were gentle, ¡°I like to eat whatever Ah Jiu cooks.¡±

    After a pause, he added, "Just don't want cheese."

    Lin Xuanjiu chuckled.

    She is quite able to eat Datong's flavor and can handle all kinds of dairy products, but Xie Dongxiang can't. He really can't get used to the sour and tangy cheese.

    "OK."

    Lin Xuanjiu made stir-fried pork for lunch.

    In the past, the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion would also make this dish, but because the salt was not pure enough, it had an astringent taste that could not be removed. A large amount of soy sauce was always needed for seasoning, and the taste was hard to describe.

    When Lin Xuanjiu made it this time, he only used a little bit of soy sauce, added his own salt, and added a little sugar to make it fresh before serving.

    The color is no longer so dull, the meat is stir-fried at just the right temperature, and the chili peppers are bright red, making it very appetizing at first glance.

    Tuoba Yuhan was waiting for the meal, and was prepared to take the opportunity to ridicule others.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
