Battles and Brews in the Ming Dynasty Chapter 10

When Lily Harper entered the pharmacy on the street, Lucas Thorn was standing in front of the medicine cabinet.

"Young Master."

Hearing Lily Harper's greeting, Lucas Thorn turned his head.

Looking at Lily Harper with nothing in her hands, Lucas Thorn hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is your luggage?"

Lily Harper said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "It's gone. Manager Zhou said there are too many people in the pawnshop, and there are other people looking for work. It may have been taken away by someone else."

Lucas Thorn did not expose Lily Harper's words, but cooperated very well and said: "It's okay, I'll go to the tailor shop and buy a suit later."

"I will listen to you, Master."

Lily Harper's tone still contained a hint of loss. People who didn't know the truth might really think that Lily Harper was sad because her luggage was lost.

We have to admit that women are naturally better at acting than men.

If an ordinary man wants to compete with a woman in acting skills, he has to be drunk.

After a while, Lucas Thorn took the prepared medicinal herbs and took Lily Harper to the tailor shop to buy a few sets of clothes and order a curtain, and then bought a basket of Oyster mushrooms.

When I got home, it was already the afternoon.

Putting the things on the stone table in the yard and looking at the basket of vegetables on the table, Lily Harper looked at Lucas Thorn in confusion.

"Sir, don't we have a lot of vegetables at home? Why do you want to buy these smallpox mushrooms?"

Lucas Thorn said slowly: "It is for you to practice and improve your control over the heat."

"Although the smallpox mushroom is not meat, it is easy to fry over high heat, so it is suitable for practice."

"Your cooking skills are better than most chefs, but your control of the heat is not good. How can a chef who has difficulty controlling the heat accurately control the changes in ingredients during the cooking process?"

Upon learning that these smallpox mushrooms were actually used for her training, Lily Harper's face suddenly turned bitter.

"There's still more training to do!"

Lucas Thorn said slowly: "What else? Do you still want me to cook for you every meal in the future?"

Lily Harper thought to herself "It's not impossible", but thinking of her current status, she could only keep the words to herself, and then walked towards the kitchen with the basket of vegetables in a depressed mood.

Lucas Thorn returned to the main house with the medicines he had bought from the pharmacy.

Soon, as the temperature of the main house gradually rose under the three stoves inside and outside, Lucas Thorn took the medicinal materials and began to process them.

By the time the medicinal materials were prepared and processed, the sky outside had become a little darker.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly from the front yard.

It turned out to be the things that Lucas Thorn had bought in the city before.

A custom-made curtain from a tailor's shop and a few bundles of firewood.

After asking the firewood delivery man to carry the dry firewood to the kitchen and leave, Lucas Thorn held the cloth curtain and went to the pond in the backyard.

As early as when Lucas Thorn built the wall for Tangquan, he had already left iron hooks on the two facing walls.

At this time, you only need to hang the two ends of the customized curtain on the iron hooks, and you can use this curtain to separate the hot spring in the middle.

The curtain is black with waterproof paper on both sides, which can prevent it from being soaked by the mist from the hot spring and completely block the light.

After taking a look at the hot spring that was divided into two parts, Lucas Thorn nodded slightly.

When he returned to the courtyard, Lucas Thorn looked at the sky and shouted to Lily Harper in the kitchen: "It's almost time to cook dinner."

"oh!"

Only after hearing Lily Harper's response from the kitchen did Lucas Thorn continue walking towards the main house.

"Um?"

However, just after Lucas Thorn took a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the yard as if he had discovered something.

I saw a wooden stick on the thick snow near the stone table in the yard.

I think it fell when I was carrying firewood before.

After his eyes stayed on the wooden stick for a few seconds, Lucas Thorn stepped into the yard and picked up the stick.

The stick is about three feet long and one inch wide.

The most rare thing is that this wooden stick is particularly straight.

Not to mention, when Lucas Thorn held the wooden stick in his hand, he actually felt like he was holding a sword.

Perhaps he was in a good mood, or perhaps the forgotten memories of his childhood came to his mind. With an inexplicable impulse, Lucas Thorn actually took the wooden stick and made a few movements, leaving traces of varying depths on the thick snow around him.

There is a saying that goes, a man remains a boy until he dies.

Some behaviors and some hobbies are always engraved in our bones no matter what age we are.

Just like Lucas Thorn now.

Although his mental age is much older than his peers, when he encounters such a straight wooden stick, he still swings it like a child.

Hearing the noise coming from the yard, a head suddenly popped out from the kitchen.

When Lily Harper saw Lucas Thorn waving a wooden stick in the yard in a disorderly manner, she was stunned at first.

But after coming to her senses, Lily Harper couldn't help but curl her lips.

"How old are you and still playing with sticks? Can't you be more mature like me?"

After glancing at Lucas Thorn in the yard with a slight disdain, Lily Harper turned her head back to prepare dinner.

Suddenly, at dusk, a figure came from afar and landed on a courtyard wall.

Who else could it be if not Lian Xing who stole the meat at noon?

Since leaving at noon, Lian Xing's thoughts seemed to be left in this yard. Sometimes she recalled the taste of the two pieces of meat she secretly ate at noon, and sometimes the handsome and gentle Lucas Thorn appeared in her mind.

After enduring the whole afternoon, when it was almost time for dinner, Lian Xing couldn't resist the urge and sneaked into Lucas Thorn's yard again.

The moment her feet touched the courtyard wall, Lian Xing's gaze turned towards the courtyard.

But when Lian Xing saw Lucas Thorn waving a wooden stick in the yard, she was stunned at first, as if she didn't expect to see such a scene when she entered Lucas Thorn's yard again.

But when she came to her senses, Lian Xing found Lucas Thorn dancing with a wooden stick in the yard quite interesting.

After looking at him for some time, Lian Xing had to admit that Lucas Thorn's appearance seemed to be in line with her aesthetic taste.

The first impression between people is always based on appearance.

If you have good looks, the first impression will naturally not be bad.

The so-called love at first sight, after all, is nothing more than lust at first sight.

The more Lian Xing looked at the man in the yard, the more he felt that he was attracted to him, as if he had fallen in love at first sight.

Even if Lucas Thorn was just waving the wooden stick randomly, Lian Xing could still feel pleased with himself.

If a set of swordsmanship really fell into Lucas Thorn's hands, how elegant and extraordinary would it be?

Then, as if she had thought of something, Lian Xing tilted her face slightly.

"I want to learn martial arts, but I don't know how to do it. This seems like a good starting point!"
