??Chapter 16 Can't Cook
??Xiao Jin really wanted to spit out the snacks in his mouth, but the crispy peach cakes melted into his lips and teeth in an instant, leaving only the thick and inextricable fragrance in his mouth at this moment.
??The naive and soft Er Bao didn't know what he had done, which made his father freeze in place for a long time.
Su Ying touched the foreheads of Dabao and Zhao's mother. It may be due to the weather. Both of them recovered slowly, and they still have a low-grade fever. However, Zhao's mother's pneumonia has improved a bit, and the moist rales in her lungs can be heard It's not so obvious anymore.
?? "Princess, the servant girl found a well in the backyard, the well was alive, and there was still water in the well, so the servant girl got some water to wipe Xiao Shizi and Mother Zhao."
??Su Ying felt that since he had been exiled, he should not call him an honorific title, so as not to reveal his identity too much and cause unnecessary trouble.
?? "Bai Shuang, you can just call me sister from now on, I am no longer a princess."
??While Bai Shuang dared to call Su Ying a sister, she repeatedly shook her head and refused.
??She felt that Su Ying had changed too much. In the past, Su Ying valued status the most. Even if it was okay for her, she was absolutely clear about master and servant. She dared not have the slightest idea of ??overstepping the rules.
?? "Slave, I'd better call you Madam."
??Su Ying didn't quite understand the hierarchical concept that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people here, but she insisted that she didn't say anything.
Su Ying took out the iron pot she bought. There are restrictions on the use of iron by ordinary people in the state of Chu, so she paid a lot of money to buy this pot. I really don't understand how this thing works.
?? "Bai Shuang, can you cook?"
Bai Shuang was puzzled by the question. Su Ying was a lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion before she married. Even if she was not favored, the basic meals were still provided by the big kitchen. It's the young lady of the small door, and I haven't really been in the kitchen.
?? "Slave, I don't know much about it, but I can give it a try."
?? "If the lady can trust the old man, the old man can do it." He Shouyi stood up from the corner and said.
??Su Ying looked at him, "Uncle can cook?"
??He Shouyi smiled, "Know better, as long as the little lady has ingredients, she can do anything."
"Yes, I really bought a lot." Su Ying opened the bag, took out a few eggs, and some dried tiger meat and some seasonal fruits and vegetables. Actually, she didn't know what to do with these things, but she I bought everything I thought I could eat.
?? "Why don't you take a look, uncle, what can be done with these, and you can make a better meal."
?? Seeing that she was willing to trust him, He Shouyi went to the bag and picked out a few ingredients, "These are enough."
?? "Okay, you just take what you need, and let Bai Shuang help you."
??He Shouyi nodded, took his things and followed Bai Shuang out of the house to the backyard.
??This farmhouse has only one exit, as long as they don't go out, the officials will not restrict their movements too much.
Su Ying carefully fed the nutrient solution in the water bag to Dabao. The little guy was already thin, but now he became even thinner after another illness. She must find a way to feed them fat for nothing.
?? "Ahem..."
??As soon as Dabao was put down, Mother Zhao coughed violently.
??Su Ying could only step forward and pat her on the back.
?? After coughing, Mother Zhao woke up leisurely, she opened her eyes and looked at Su Ying, still unable to react.
?? "King, princess..."
?? "Mom Zhao is awake, get up and drink some water."
??Su Ying handed the water bag filled with glucose to her lips.
??Mother Zhao's throat was really uncomfortable, she opened her mouth to take a sip, and found that the water turned out to be sweet.
??She quickly pushed the water bag away with water, reluctant to drink any more, "The old slave is not thirsty anymore, the princess can drink it by herself."
??Su Ying looked at her kind eyebrows and eyes, feeling a little depressed, "I still have a lot, you should drink it soon, so that you can get better."
??Mother Zhao looked at her expectantly and couldn't bear to let her down, so she drank all the glucose water.
??She thought she was going to die, but she didn't expect to have a chance to wake up again.
?? "Mama Zhao is hungry, Bai Shuang is already cooking, we will have something to eat in a while."
??Mother Zhao was a little surprised. It would be good for them to have one meal of dry food a day. How could they have the conditions to cook?
??Su Ying saw her doubts and explained: "When I arrived at the county seat today, I asked the official to help me buy some things, so we don't need to eat dry food tonight."
??Mother Zhao didn't think too much when she heard what she said. When she was exiled, she did secretly give Su Ying some money, presumably the money hadn't been used up yet.
?? "What's wrong with Xiaoshizi?" Zhao's mother looked at Dabao who was lying beside her with distressed face, such a good child, why did he become like this.
?? "Mother Zhao, don't worry, the child is just sick. Now that he has taken the medicine, he will recover in a short time."
??Mother Zhao shook her head mournfully, feeling that Su Ying was comforting her, but on the road to exile, a single cold could kill an adult, let alone a child.
"smell good…"
??A strong fragrance wafted in the air, and Su Ying was immediately attracted to it, "I'll go to the backyard to have a look."
??Su Ying couldn't wait to run to the backyard, and saw He Shouyi making pancakes. The oil and water mixed with the aroma of rice noodles made people hungry!
As a decisive fighter, apart from training, Su Ying's only hobby is watching past food pictures. The reason why she is so addicted is because her comrades from the ancient martial arts family once got some ingredients and cooked them for her. Some dishes, the taste, she still can't forget.
?? "Ma'am, these pancakes are ready, try them quickly." Bai Shuang held a pancake to Su Ying.
??Su Ying was not polite to her either, and ate it as soon as she took it.
?? One sip, the smell of rice fragrance mixed with oil can make her swallow her tongue.
?? Before she could recall it, a pancake was gone.
?? "Uncle, your craftsmanship is amazing." She gave He Shouyi a thumbs up.
??The culinary skills were recognized, and He Shuyi also laughed, "It's as long as the little lady likes it."
??Su Ying asked the two of them to eat too, and then took a few pancakes back to the house. As soon as she entered, nearly twenty pairs of eyes in the room fell on the pancakes in her hand.
??Su Ying brought the pancakes to Erbao, "Linger, come and eat the pancakes."
??Erbao felt that he was going to be overwhelmed by happiness today, and there were peach cakes and pancakes, as if the days had returned to the past!
?? "Take two more and send them to your father."
?? Er Bao nodded obediently, "En."
?? Erbao took the pancake and was about to give it to Xiao Jin who was looking after Dabao, when a figure in the corner suddenly rushed out and snatched the pancake from Erbao's hand and stuffed it into his mouth like crazy.
?? "Linger be careful!"
"ah!"
??Er Bao was startled by the sudden change, his small body staggered and fell to the ground.
