Ah!
Chai Yue suddenly realized that perhaps she had been too uninhibited just now.
But that feeling was truly wonderful.
Young Master Fang, was this young lady too presumptuous earlier?
She looked at Fang Er with embarrassment.
Miss Chai, you are truly genuine, there's no such thing as being presumptuous.
Fang Er said with a chuckle.
It's clear that Miss Chai quite likes this handgun. Since that's the case, I'll give this gun to you.
This... this isn't appropriate, is it? This item must be very valuable.
Chai Yue felt a little embarrassed.
It's nothing, just a little toy I made myself. It should be useful for self-defense.
As Fang Er spoke, he picked up the handgun from the table and, as if by habit, handed over two magazines.
Sister Chai, Brother Fang is playing favorites! He only gave me one magazine, and didn't even let me fire enough bullets.
Zhang Daxing looked resentful.
His words made Chai Yue's face flush.
Kid, don't be looking for a beating!
Chai Zhewei shook his fist at Zhang Daxing.
Hahahaha! Let's go, back to the manor, I'll treat you to some good food.
After Fang Er finished speaking, he called Zhao Hu, who was currently training, over.
He told him to have his men collect the shell casings from the shooting range.
At the Fang Manor.
The鴛鴦 hot pot was already prepared.
One side was rich beef tallow and spicy broth, and the other was a clear mushroom broth.
The three, who had never seen this way of eating before, looked at the bubbling broth in the pot with curiosity.
The lamb slices went into the pot and quickly changed color.
Fang Er gestured for them to start eating.
Several dogs darted back and forth under the table, hoping to snatch some food.
Fang Er glanced over, picked up a piece of meat, and tossed it down.
A Husky saw it and immediately pounced.
It gobbled up the meat roll in one bite.
Then.
Then.
Then.
It promptly spat it out!
Damn it!
I'm not human, my master is truly a dog!
Who feeds a dog scorching hot meat slices!
And it's spicy too!
Poor me.
Looking at the dog's miserable state, Zhang Daxing's mood suddenly improved.
Mm, my treatment is much better than this Husky's.
At least I haven't been tricked yet.
Chai Zhewei picked out a few meat rolls for Chai Yue.
Try some, I've had it already, it's quite good.
Chai Yue glanced at Fang Er.
She felt very embarrassed.
She and Chai Shao had never eaten at the same table.
They always had separate meals.
This was the first time she was eating with others around a table, picking up food from the same pot with chopsticks.
Miss Chai, have a taste? This is a specialty of my Fang family, you won't find it anywhere else.
This is called hot pot, and today we're having the鴛鴦 pot. The red one is spicy, and the white broth over there is simmered with several kinds of fresh mushrooms. Try it.
Fang Er explained the two different broths.
If she couldn't eat spicy food and accidentally took a bite, it would be embarrassing.
However, Chai Yue's mind was fixed on the words "鴛鴦 pot."
What did he mean by that?
Why call it the鸳鴦 pot?
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became.
Was he hinting at something?
Fang Er, however, was completely unaware of her thoughts.
After offering it around, he began to eat his own meal.
Chai Zhewei looked at his sister's expression.
He was secretly delighted.
The old man's mission was complete!
Come on, Daxing, eat!
Since the mission was accomplished, they should have a good meal. This hot pot feels amazing! It's so numbing and spicy!
It's exhilarating!
By the time they finished eating, it was almost dark.
The three then got up to say goodbye.
Fang Er sent them off with some hot pot base ingredients.
In the evening, Fang Er once again slipped into Xiao Qing's bed.
Mm.
Her window was drafty!
In bed.
Xiao Qing was very happy.
Miss Chai, who had visited during the day, made her a bit nervous.
She had thought that her young master no longer liked her.
But the stick beside her gave her great confidence.
Her eyes darted around.
She burrowed her head under the covers.
Hiss~~~~!
The night passed without incident.
Mm, it passed without incident.
Even if there were words, they wouldn't be spoken!
Lest you accuse me of padding the word count.
Hiahiahiahia!
The next day, Cheng Chumo came running over excitedly.
Brother Fang, the firearms corps, the firearms corps!
As soon as he saw Fang Er, he shouted enthusiastically.
What about the firearms corps?
Fang Er asked.
The firearms corps has been established, a new army of ten thousand men! Both Bao Lin and I have been transferred there!
Cheng Chumo explained.
Isn't that normal? You were exposed to it early, and you, kid, shoot accurately. It's not surprising you were transferred.
Fang Er wasn't surprised at all. Ever since Li Shimin mentioned establishing a new army before the new year, he had anticipated this.
No, Bao Lin and I have been promoted!
The Emperor has ordered me to lead a thousand artillerymen as a battalion commander, and I've also been promoted to Zhaowu Captain!
Bao Lin is the same as me, but he's leading a thousand riflemen!
Cheng Chumo was very excited.
Due to their young age, he and Yuchi Baolin were previously Xuanjie Captains, serving as squad leaders in the army, each with only a hundred men under their command.
This time, not only were they promoted several ranks, but they also had ten times the number of subordinates.
Oh, then it seems Li Da Niu and the others will have to go back too.
Fang Er was thinking about who would lead the troops to guard the prisoners at the cement kilns after Li Da Niu and the others left.
Let's go, follow me to the training grounds.
