Chapter 279 Young People Travel Together
Ying Bu said to Yue Xin with a smile on his face.
"They are also heading to Shu, which is about the same direction as us." Several young men who came together saluted and introduced themselves.
"Boy Ling He!"
"Koujo Takeshi!"
"Secret fear!"
"Boy Zhang Yin!"
"Boy Cheng Li!"
Everyone said in unison: "Greetings, Master."
Ying Bu winked at Ai Xin from behind, signaling him not to say too much. Yue Xin nodded and asked.
"No need to be polite. Are you guys planning to study abroad?"
"Master, yes, we always feel bored in school, so we follow Confucius' example and travel to study and see the world. Maybe it can help us better understand what we have learned from books." Ling He spoke first. He looked older than the others.
"That's right, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is a good way to go. But walking like this is a waste of time. However, walking on two legs is too slow! Riding a horse is barely acceptable, but if I have to walk all the time, it would be too much of a torture!"
When the teenagers heard Yue Xin's words, their faces instantly turned red, and they looked quite embarrassed and embarrassed. In fact, the family conditions of these teenagers were very ordinary, and they did not have extra money to take a carriage or a coach.
Yue Xin suddenly realized that he seemed to have taken things for granted, just like saying "Why not eat meat?"
He quickly smiled and said, "Haha... Didn't Confucius also come here on foot? Nowadays, there are many different modes of transportation, and everyone can make different choices according to their own circumstances. Besides, we are indeed a little lonely along the way, so why not go together? It's almost noon now, do you want to eat something together?"
After saying that, Yue Xin immediately took out cooking tools from his bag and started to make a fire to cook.
However, one of the boys waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Master. We brought our own dry food so we can solve the lunch problem."
After all, when you go out, you should be more cautious and not easily eat food provided by others. As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Although the teacher in front of you looks noble, who knows if he will meet someone with ulterior motives? Therefore, they decided to stay vigilant, just in case.
In fact, this was just a very ordinary fast food. Ying Bu untied the horses and let them graze nearby. Then he picked up the instant noodles and walked to Yue Xin and put them aside. After waiting for the water to boil, he put in the noodles and added seasoning.
Soon, the tempting aroma began to spread. The children's stomachs could not help but growl, and they swallowed their saliva involuntarily. The dry food they brought was limited in quantity and could not be eaten all at once. Moreover, they did not have much money on them. If they ate too much, they would have no money to buy food later.
Yue Xin knew that now was the time for growth, and if he didn't eat enough, he might not grow tall in the future. The pot for two people was not big, and could only cook enough rice for three or four people at a time, and there were not enough bowls and chopsticks. Yue Xin cooked three servings of noodles first, and said to Ying Bu, "You can share these with the children, and I will cook more." Ying Bu walked to the children with the steaming noodles.
"Let's discuss this with you. We are out for fun without any followers. We don't know how to do some things, and you don't have a lot of money. Why don't you help us do the work, and I will take you to Shu. This way, it will be a win-win situation for both of us."
The noodles in front of them were so delicious that their stomachs growled even more. Mi Dan agreed without thinking. He was so hungry that he ignored Ling He's gaze.
"Okay, thank you, Master!"
He ate first and let everyone taste it. If there was no problem, then they could trust it. Ying Bu felt that these children were really naive. If they were from his family, they would ask if you had a conspiracy. After all, adults always told them that there is no free lunch in the world, and free is the most expensive.
As soon as the noodles entered his mouth, Mi Dan couldn't stop eating. It was so delicious! It tasted better than anything he had ever eaten. Gong Shangwu and Zhang Yin couldn't help it either. They picked up the noodles and started eating. Ling He didn't have time to stop them.
After a while of wolfing down, the bowl of steaming hot noodles was eaten up cleanly, not even a drop of soup was left. Mi Dan licked his lips with satisfaction, thinking to himself: Fortunately, Yue Xin has cooked several more portions.
"Yingbu, bring the bowl over here quickly."
Ying Bu shouted from the side.
"Okay!" Ying Bu agreed immediately, then quickly picked up the bowl to clean it, ready to serve the delicious noodles again.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yue Xin couldn't help but think of those little guys. Among them, Ling He seemed particularly alert and might be able to make a difference in the future. However, he also believed that being too cautious and careful might lead to missing many opportunities and limited achievements. In contrast, Zhang Yin, who was always silent and observed silently in the crowd, was more likely to achieve higher achievements.
"Maybe, Mi Dan still wants to eat. Otherwise, can you take the trouble to cook more? I think I'm a little hungry too."
Yue Xin said with a smile. Watching others eat heartily always makes people hungry. When adults had a good appetite before, he would feel very happy every time he saw them. But now adults can only eat a little at each meal, and he himself seems to have lost interest in food.
"No problem!" Ying Bu agreed readily, turned around and walked into the kitchen to continue working.
Yue Xin added water to cook the noodles again and added firewood. After a while, Ying Bu came back and cooked four or five times until the boys could no longer eat. Only then did the two of them have time to eat.
"It seems that the children don't have a big appetite after returning home."
Ying Bu couldn't help but sigh, but he was in a good mood because the noodles that he had never even looked at before at home turned out to be so delicious today.
"That's because they keep eating snacks. If I were like these kids, I would probably eat more than them." Yue Xin said with a smile. The appetites of the kids at home far exceed those of adults, which makes Ding Zhao feel both tired and happy every time she cooks.
"Haha...yes, they are restless every day, especially Qiqi. I think they will be more powerful than adults in the future."
Ying Bu laughed, and Yue Xin teased him.
"If Tan Yao could see this, he would definitely change his mind. Qiqi doesn't eat much, but there are many types of food."
"Ha ha......."
After eating the noodles made by the two, the five teenagers took the initiative to find fodder to feed the horses, then washed the bowls and guarded the carriage.
