Li Man'er waited for several days, but did not receive Xiao Rudi's invitation. Instead, Xiao Qiniang came.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Miss Xiao Qi seems to have lost a lot of money."
Xiao Qiniang took the hot tea and didn't drink it. She just held it and said with a tired look on her face: "There are a lot of things going on these days, and there are a lot of things to prepare. It's snowing too hard, and people's roofs need to be cleaned in time.
, otherwise the house will easily collapse, and the streets must be cleaned in time... in short, there are many things to do."
Li Man'er was surprised and said: "The affairs in the government office are so trivial? But as far as I know, these things should be managed by the government office, right? How come Miss Xiao Qi is actually in charge? There is no one in the court?"
Only Li Man'er dared to say this, and Xiao Qiniang wished she could pounce on her and strangle her to death.
"Young lady, be careful what you say." Xiao Qiniang's face was darker than the bottom of the pot. She knew very well that Li Man'er just wanted to mess around and make her angry, so she suppressed her temper, stabilized her mood, and then said: "
Mobei is a place with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas, and it is not convenient for news to circulate. We also have to be wary of other countries’ attempts to exploit the enemy, so it is very difficult to operate. Three generations of my Xiao family have been stationed here, and we have long coexisted with Mobei."
Li Man'er said oh and said nothing, as if she didn't believe Xiao Qiniang's words.
"The weather this year is extremely cold and the snow is heavy. The barbarians may attack at any time. We still have a lot to do. We have to appease the people's livelihood and strengthen defenses. There is not a moment to spare. Ever since the eldest girl was born,
What I saw was the prosperity of the capital city, but I didn’t know the sufferings of the people in Mobei. I hope I won’t say such things in the future.”
Is Li Man'er someone who can be blamed? She said she has never seen suffering in the world? Well, she has indeed seen very little in this life, but in her previous life, many of their occult doctors went to Médecins Sans Frontières.
There is not much suffering in the world.
In future generations with advanced technology, there are still people who don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes to wear. She has seen too much backward productivity, laziness, wars, and plagues.
"Young lady, you dislike me for being a freeloader and not doing anything for Mobei?" Li Man'er raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't mean to be angry at all.
Liu Ya was very angry, but her master didn't say anything, so naturally she, a girl, couldn't say anything.
Xiao Qiniang smiled politely and distantly, as if to say, you are quite self-aware.
"It's not that I don't want to contribute, it's just that I have nowhere to use my strength." Li Man'er smiled sarcastically, "Since we arrived in Mobei, our master and servants have been living like prisoners.
Mai. You don’t even know where the government office door opens. How can we help? The seventh girl can tell me how we can help?"
Liu Ya secretly said hello to Li Man'er. When it comes to quarreling, ten Xiao Qiniangs tied together are no match for her girl. The most important thing is that her girl never says anything unreasonable.
They are all heartfelt words that can choke people to death.
Xiao Qiniang felt like she was going to be choked by these two sentences at this time, "Miss Li has misunderstood me. You are a guest, how can I work for you! Oh, by the way, this time I am here to deliver medicinal materials to Miss Li."
and supplies.”
Xiao Qiniang didn't want to argue with Li Man'er anymore. She was no match, so she quickly changed the subject.
"There are so many things on the big girl's list that I can't find them all at once. Fortunately, we have time, so I sent over the easiest things to find." After saying that, she winked at Juyu, who quickly let her go.
People brought things in, including boxes and baskets, and soon the room was full.
Li Man'er circled around the delivered items twice and nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss Seventh is really reliable in doing things. Now I understand a little bit why the Xiao family let you manage the government office alone. Your abilities are indeed outstanding."
Li Man'er's words made Xiao Qiniang a little surprised, but before she could be happy for a long time, she heard Li Man'er say again: "It's a pity, the upper limit has been reached. I can only be a housekeeper, not a master."
Not to mention Xiao Qiniang, even Liu Ya felt that her girl was a bit too much after hearing this. Xiao Qiniang is the mistress of the Xiao family, but the girl said that she is a housekeeper and cannot be the master...
Xiao Qiniang really didn't want to live under the same roof as Li Man'er. She was really afraid that she would be like a shrew and roll up her sleeves to fight with her, so she left in a hurry without saying a word.
.
Liu Ya looked at Xiao Qiniang who was running away, and couldn't help but give her girl a thumbs up. The girl's fighting ability was really strong, and Xiao Qiniang was so angry that she ran away with just a few words.
Li Man'er felt happy when she saw so many medicinal materials. This was a lot of money. She had tricked the Xiao family once.
"Girl, there are so many medicines, when should we get them?"
"Do it slowly, I have time anyway." Li Man'er would not tell her that there are machines in the space, whether they are cutting or steaming. But just in case, you still have to be more careful. It's important
The medicinal materials were stored in the space and simply left to Liu Ya to get them.
"Okay!" Liu Ya said: "Girl, it seems that the Xiao family has no intention of asking you to treat the Xiao family's leg."
"He's on guard against me! He's afraid that I'll take the opportunity to harm him." Li Man'er reached out and tapped Liu Ya's forehead, "I'm worried about you, do you think you're aging too slowly?"
Liu Ya rubbed the area touched by Li Man'er, thinking that the girl's hands were really strong.
"If you are fine, help me get these medicinal materials. Get them as soon as possible. Have a good morning."
"This slave can't."
"It's very simple, I'll teach you." Li Man'er asked her, "Have you set up the stove in the wing room? They just sent a basket over, and some medicinal materials that can be steamed in the pot can be steamed out first."
Liu Ya said quickly: "It has been done a long time ago. The pots are all ready-made and can be used immediately. I also prepared a few water jars in them according to your instructions and have already filled them with water."
The more Li Maner listened, the more satisfied she became, "Yes, Miss Xiao Qi's ability to do things is really good. It's a pity that she is destined to be a manager."
Liu Ya was also drunk, so why did she mention this matter again?
Xiao Qiniang: I thank you...
Both the master and the servant were action-minded and got ready immediately.
First put away the patent medicines, pills, powders and ointments, and then put away some of the decoction pieces. Finally, there are some unprocessed medicinal materials, which are the highlight.
"Get to work!" Li Man'er patted Liu Ya on the shoulder, expressing that the task was very heavy.
Liu Ya looked at the baskets of medicinal materials and felt like crying.
There are so many medicines that need to be steamed, dried, sliced, and boiled. How long will she get them?
Sure enough, when the master and the servant rested, they fell asleep instantly.
The workload is too much and I am really tired.
Liu Ya's last thought before going to bed was, was the big girl deceiving the enemy or her teammates with this move?
