    “Self-taught.” Wei Jin also replied.

    “Can you be so good at self-taught?” Chu Lan asked.

    “Gifted since childhood.” Wei Jin also replied.

    Hearing this Chu Lan turned his head to inquire about Wei Ruo, “Miss Wei, I’m very interested in your guard, I wonder if you can let me spar with him?”

    “My daughter is terrified, Your Highness is a man of ten thousand gold, what if my guards miss and hurt Your Highness?” Wei Ruo returned.

    “Since I proposed the cut, I will never blame anyone if I am injured.”

    “Wan Wan can’t, your highness now body factor duty, if you are injured, the impact is far away, this responsibility Wei House can’t afford.” Wei Ruo said.

    “Miss Wei has a point, then why don’t we do this, I’ll have my guards come and spar with your guards, so there’s no need to have concerns.” Chu Lan changed his mind.

    Chu Lan’s words had reached this point, Wei Ruo couldn’t refuse anymore, she turned her head to look at Wei Jin Yi.

    Wei Jin also gave Wei Ruo a nod, signaling that he could handle it.

    After receiving Wei Jin Yi’s response, Wei Ruo responded to Chu Lan’s proposal, “Then, I can only follow your order, but we should wait until we get back to a safer place to spar, the terrain here is complicated and treacherous, not conducive to action.”

    “Good.” Chu Lan agreed.

    And then several people continued to inspect the environment along the river.

    It was an hour later when he walked around and returned to the open field.

    “Miss Wei, may I have the honor of tasting your snake soup?” Chu Lan asked.

    Wei Ruo had planned to bring this herp back to the Wei family and eat it in her own yard with Wei Jinya, but Chu Lan, this shameless one, actually took the initiative to open her mouth and ask her.

    “Folk daughter wouldn’t dare, the herp snakes are poisonous, if not handled properly, the snake soup will be poisonous.” Wei Ruo explained.

    “I believe in Ms. Wei’s craftsmanship, if Ms. Wei still has concerns, I can let the people under my hand try it out first, and I’ll taste it after making sure it’s okay.” Chu Lan said.

    Chu Lan directly blocked Wei Ruo’s retreat.

    “Then the people’s daughter has no choice but to be respectful.”

    Wei Ruo had to agree.

    And then the people went to the nearby camp where the pioneering folk were resting; it was the time for work, and the stragglers and victims of the pioneering folk were all in the fields, and the camp was quite empty.

    Chu Lan intended to dine here, and the magistrates on duty immediately vacated a clean room.

    Although it was already a relatively clean house, it was still very basic, and the cooking area was in the open space in front of the door.

    A makeshift stove, a large iron pot, and all the seasoning you can use is a little salt.

    Wei Ruo arranged for Xiao Bei to handle the ingredients, build a fire to boil water, and arranged for Xiu Mei to go back to her carriage to get spices and seasonings; with only salt, this snake soup would not be delicious.

    Meanwhile, Chu Lan had his side guards engage Wei Jinya.

    The two of them fought in the open space next to each other, and in just ten moves, Wei Jin Yi defeated Chu Lan’s subordinate.

    Chu Lan’s subordinates fell to the ground, and Wei Jin also did not see half a bit of trouble on his body, the strength gap is visible.

    Chu Lan frowned and stretched, frowning was surprised by the martial arts attainments of the person in front of him, and stretching was the stone in his heart falling down.

    After watching this cut Chu Lan felt that this person was not the same person as the one who attacked him that day.

    This person’s power seemed to be above that person’s! If it was this person who attacked him that day, he shouldn’t have been able to wait to be saved by Xu Wo right.

    Chu Lan walked up to Wei Jin Yi and inquired, “What’s your name?”

    “Wang Sumire.” Wei Jin also replied.

    “Are you interested in coming to my side as an errand boy?” Chu Lan asked.

    “I thank Your Highness for your appreciation, but the Wei family has saved my life and taught me.” Wei Jin also replied.

    “In that case I can’t force myself, it’s just that when you have an idea, I always welcome talents like you here.” Chu Lan said.

    “Thank you, Your Highness, for your love.” Wei Jin also replied.

    Chu Lan this moment to see Wei Jin also is more comfortable than the beginning of the time, looks ordinary, but posture eyes are giving people a feeling of excellence, so with his identity as a master is very consistent.

    By the time the two ended their conversation, the snake soup and snake casserole made on Wei Ruo’s side had also given off a meaty aroma.

    Wei Ruo did not personally operate the knife, but only assisted from the sidelines, the chef is Xiumei.

    After removing the skin and viscera of the snake, use cooking wine and ginger to remove the fishy, and then take half of it and then into the pot to cook the snake soup, the remaining half of it is used to make the snake pot, the seasoning of the snake soup is relatively simple to put, salt and some pepper can be.

    This snake casserole practice is similar to making eel casserole, snake meat cut end to end with onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, soy sauce and other seasonings for stir-frying; casserole dish on the bottom of the laying of garlic, will be fried snake meat into the casserole dish to smother until the snake meat is crisp and soft.

    There was no casserole here, so Wei Ruo found another iron pot to replace it.

    If he was in his own home, Wei Ruo would definitely have the leisure to make a few more small dishes to go with it, and wouldn’t get so tired of just eating snake meat.

    But as soon as she saw Chu Lan, Wei Ruo lost the leisure and let Xiu Mei do the snake and be done with it.

    After the snake soup and snake casserole was done, Wei Ruo let Chu Lan’s follower first sheng some to try, that follower ate to make sure there was no poison, before giving Chu Lan sheng a bowl of snake soup and a dish of snake casserole.

    And then Wei Ruo was able to serve the Snake Soup and Snake Meat Casserole to herself and Wei Jin Yi, Xiu Mei and Xiao Bei.

    Wei Ruo has already said in advance, he and his family subordinate relationship is very good, in the outside dining with them do not distinguish between master and servant, there will be food to taste and share together, so Wei Ruo this move did not cause Chu Lan suspicion.

    After tasting it, Chu Lan praised, “Miss Wei’s craftsmanship is just as amazing as Miss Wei’s farming knowledge.”

    Unlike before, this time Chu Lan did not mince his words of praise for Wei Ruo’s cooking.

    His attitude towards Wei Ruo had changed quite a bit from before, before he had not appreciated her so much even though he thought she had a pair of skillful hands.

    Nowadays his admiration and interest in her was second only to what he had for Xu Wo right.

    “Your Highness, you’re praising the wrong person, today’s snake soup and snake casserole were both made by my personal maid, Xiu Mei.” Wei Ruo said.

    Chu Lan hooked his lips and smiled, saying, “Miss Wei is truly blessed to be surrounded by so many talents.”

    “My daughter is terrified, it is Your Highness who has hidden crouching tigers around you.” Wei Ruo replied.

    When everyone had finished using the snake soup and snake pot, Wei Ruo excused herself from Chu Lan on the grounds that it was getting late.

    Chu Lan agreed and personally escorted Wei Ruo onto the carriage before watching her party leave.

    After walking farther away, Wei Ruo took a long breath in the car, “I’m exhausted, I feel like I can’t even breathe in front of him! Tired of talking, tired of doing things, but also when you have to guess the meaning of his words, really exhausted me!”

    “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to threaten you in the future.” Wei Jin also said to Wei Ruo.

    “Second brother, it’s still you who will comfort me.” Wei Ruo smiled and leaned her back against the carriage, “Second brother’s disguise was really right today, and it really saved a lot of trouble.”

    Wei Jin also didn’t pick up on this, but instead said to Wei Ruo, “Ruo’er, in the future, if you hear some rumors of misfortune befalling me, don’t believe them.”
