The mountain wind howled, making the valley faintly echo.
The young people closed the Post Station's door and chatted as they ate, chirping away without pause.
Young people certainly had plenty to say, full of youthful energy.
Just then, they suddenly caught a delicious scent.
(╯▽╰ )Smells so good~~
They all turned to look and saw Li Ping'an cooking noodles off to one side.
They were garnished with chopped scallions and some beef.
After growing tired of rich meat and fish dishes over the past few days, Li Ping'an had decided to eat something vegetarian.
Billowing steam wafted toward their noses.
They could almost smell the savory broth and fragrant noodles.
The fresh aroma of beef, and the clean scent of leafy greens.
"Uncle, you even carry an iron pot when you travel?" the pretty girl named Chu Yun asked curiously.

Li Ping'an had no choice but to take out more noodles and put them in.
"Uncle, you don't need to cook so much. We can't eat much."
Seeing Li Ping'an put in another whole potful, Chu Yun hurriedly spoke up.
Li Ping'an said, "You've misunderstood. These are all for me."
They chewed garlic while noisily slurping noodle broth, looking as though they were thoroughly enjoying it.

"Exactly."
The others all agreed.
