Chapter 632: Stinky Tofu 4 (1/2)

Chu Lian had only brought Wenqing and Wenlan this time.

They were riding in the carriage with all of their clothes.

By the time Chu Lian and He Changdi had arrived at the camp, they had only just arrived mere minutes earlier.

One of their stewards steered the carriage and parked it next to their tent.

Chu Lian ordered Wenqing and Wenlan about as they unpacked the things they had brought with them.

The steward and two guards were helping to unload the luggage off the carriage. As they saw what their marchioness had packed, the old steward couldn’t help the twitch that developed in the corner of his mouth.

Just look at all this!

A specially made metal wok, a strange metal rack with unknown purpose, all sorts of ingredients that a hunting ground would lack, seasonings he had never heard of, jerky, fruits, desserts…

Of the luggage they had brought in that one carriage, half of it was food… As for the other half, they were all things to cook food…

In comparison, look at what the noble madam over there had brought: clothes, accessories, incense, all sorts of furnishings…

The old steward bowed his head in shame, resigned to his fate. He continued helping his noble madam move all sorts of food-related items into the tent.

However, the foodies staring at Chu Lian and He Changdi’s tent didn’t share the same thoughts.

Before they had even started preparing the meal, there was already a table full of guests in Chu Lian’s tent…

Sima Hui and Royal Princess Duanjia were to be expected, since they were both ladies. However, what was with Great General Qian and Old Duke Zheng inviting themselves in? What were these two old beardies doing here?

Captain Guo, Xiao Hongyu, and Zhang Mai didn’t have any space to sit.

However, they would rather stand than leave.

Royal Princess Duanjia rolled her eyes.

“Chu Liu, tell your servants to cook a little less, just enough for our table to eat. Ignore those gluttons standing over there.”

Xiao Hongyu hadn’t eaten breakfast in the rush to leave this the morning. As a young man, he couldn’t bear with the hunger and was starving by now. Royal Princess Duanjia’s words only made him feel even more stubborn.

Unfortunately, due to the princess’ status, he couldn’t respond to her provocation.

Chu Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry looking at the tent full of guests.

For the nobles settling into the hunting grounds, they had brought their servants to cook their meals.

The emperor’s meals were taken care of by his attendants, but for the three soldiers, they had to take care of their own meals. It was only if the emperor specially ordered a feast to be held that they would be able to gather for dinner.

Looking at the number of guests, the maidservants they had brought wouldn’t be enough.

The sight that first greeted He Changdi when he entered their tent was their table full of guests. His expression immediately turned overcast.

However, he couldn’t say anything with Old Duke Zheng and Great General Qian around, since their statuses were greater than his.

Chu Lian looked at the ingredients that the steward had brought and wondered what to cook.

Luckily, the steward had packed extra food just in case, otherwise there might not have been enough to feed this group of gluttons.
