Chapter 489
When the Chen family was tortured by the officials from the government office, Shu Ying and Zhuo Nan had already left the jurisdiction of Dingcheng and entered a forest.
After Zhuo Nan took Shu Ying away from the Chen family, he took her directly into a mountain outside the city, searched for a dilapidated temple for a night of rest, and then followed the direction of Du County, and then bought a ox cart in a small village, which finally made Shu Ying escape the fate of having to rush on his own.
"Miss Zhang, let's rest here for an hour, eat something before leaving!" Zhuo Nan asked the ox cart to stop and asked Shu Ying. After hearing her answer, he found a big tree to tie the ox, then found a big tree to pile up the ox, and sprinkled some of the shark fish lamp oil that the Chen family's wife gave to Shu Ying on the wood. Then he lit the shark fish lamp oil with a fire broke out. He watched the shark fire burst out and quickly piled up the timber.
"Look at this, this shark fish lamp oil is extremely convenient for making fire!" Shu Ying found a place next to the fire and sat down. Looking at the bright fire, he said with some emotion: "Thanks to Chen Su Niang's thoughtful thinking for us!"
Zhuo Nan nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes! It seems that you can prepare more of this thing in the future!"
"I'm afraid it's not easy! When I went to the lantern shop, the shopkeeper said that this shark fish lantern oil is not easy to buy!" Shu Ying shook his head and said to Zhuo Nan: "If you want to buy it in the future, you can only rely on luck!"
"There will definitely be a bigger city!" Zhuo Nan said to Shu Ying indifferently, "This marsh fish oil is so precious, how could it be obtained by an ordinary lantern shop outside Dingcheng?"
"The shopkeeper said that he only got a little lamp oil mixed with shark fish oil..." Shu Ying heard Zhuo Nan not believe it, and quickly spoke, but looked at Zhuo Nan and continued to shake his head.
"Ms. Zhang, that's just the words of the shopkeeper! It's used to trick you into buying lamp oil!" Zhuo Nan fiddled with the firewood and watched the flame grow bigger, and said to Shu Ying: "Think about it, how much oil can a marshal fish be refined? How much can it be left after supplying those noble people? If you want to divide the remaining marshal fish oil, how much lamp oil will it have to be mixed in? Then it will be distributed to the merchants on the next floor. In order to make more money, how much lamp oil will they add to it? In the end, at the lantern shop you saw, how much lamp oil did the shopkeeper add to it?"
Shu Qiong was stunned, but he immediately understood why Yanshi's disdainful look after she bought lamp oil.
Could this shark fish lamp oil be really just a gimmick?
"Then... Mr. Zhuo, this lamp oil is quite useful, too?" Shu Ying frowned and couldn't help but say something.
"Well, it's very useful, and I don't know what they added! Anyway, there is a little shark fish oil in it, which is possible, but if you want it, don't think about it! It's just a name for money. We also use it to ignite lighting, and the requirements don't have to be that high!" Zhuo Nan said to Shu Ying with an indifferent look on his face, and then asked her: "What do Miss Zhang want to eat? Grill that piece of pork? Or should we just focus on dry food?"
"Is it convenient to roast pork?" Shu Ying looked at the sky and couldn't help but say to Zhuo Nan, "Eat meat and be hungry. We have been rushing from the morning and we will have to rest after dark..."
It's true that you're full at noon.
Zhuo Nan nodded indifferently, and directly cut a piece of the pork they bought from the village when they set off in the morning from the ox cart, then inserted it with branches and started roasting it on the cluster of fire.
The aroma of barbecue quickly floated out. Zhuo Nan asked Shu Yan to take a few steamed buns and put them on the edge of the fire to heat it. He cut off the roasted slices with a dagger and handed them to Shu Yan.
Shu Ying was a little embarrassed and did not start eating.
"You eat first!" Zhuo Nan said directly to Shu Ying: "Don't worry about me!"
Shu Yan was so embarrassed? He shook his head directly.
If you really count it, Zhuo Nan is still her benefactor! She rescued her from the hands of the two servants, and then sent her back to Dingcheng. She kept helping her with work. After leaving Dingcheng, Zhuo Nan took care of her and even asked her to eat something first. It would be fine if she couldn't thank Zhuo Nan. If she really ate the meat, wouldn't it be too rude?
"You eat first, don't wait for me!" Zhuo Nan looked at Shu Ying, but frowned slightly, and said to her: "It will take some time for all the meat to be cooked. When you are full, I will chew it directly, and there is no need to cut it off one by one!"
Shu was stunned for a moment, as if he was shocked by Zhuo Nan's words.
"You are a woman, and you eat slowly... I ate earlier, otherwise I will have to wait for you later. It's a waste of time!" Zhuo Nan glanced at Shu Qing and urged her: "Eat quickly! Hurry up!"
Zhuo Nan urged him over and over again, and Shu Qiong could not refute it at all. In the end, he could only chew the steamed buns and ate the pork that was no longer hot. The smell of oil that exploded at the mouth only made Shu Qiong feel that this was probably the most delicious thing in the world.
Zhuo Nan would cut a piece of roasted meat from time to time and hand it to Shu Yan. He waited until she wanted it, then nodded, and then cut the remaining pork with the dagger a few times, put it on the fire and roasted it, and then started to chew it.
Shu Ying looked at Zhuo Nan's bold movements and couldn't help swallowing. He really understood why Zhuo Nan asked her to eat first.
Shu Ying had no way to investigate whether the pork was roasted or half-cooked. She only watched Zhuo Nan finish the meat a few times and ate a few more steamed buns. Then she wiped her mouth with satisfaction, looked at her and smiled: "Make Miss Zhang laugh!"
"No, no!" Shu Ying waved his hand quickly, "Hero Zhuo has a good appetite!"
Zhuo Nan chuckled softly, and while starting to put out the fire, he said to Shu Ying: "Miss Zhang should not call me Daxia Zhuo in the future. This will make you look so reborn? Just call my name! Zhuo Nan!"
Shu was stunned, but hesitated.
