Chapter 17 The Wild Fruits Picked by Sister Ling Are Delicious
When the dishes arrived, Tang Zangyue tasted the mutton steamed buns. The taste was okay, but the mutton smell was not completely removed. The vegetarian dishes were mediocre, but the Huadiao wine had a mellow aroma, and it left a lingering aroma in the mouth after just one sip.
She didn't take a few bites, and left the rest to Fifteen.
Although this child is young, his martial arts is not weak. Even when he eats, he is gentle and does not gobble it up. However, his eating speed is not slow and he can finish a plate in the blink of an eye.
As if aware of Tang Zangyue's probing gaze, Shiwu became embarrassed again, but still did not say anything.
He would only answer a few words when his master spoke, and he usually communicated with other people through secret whistles.
The reason for eating fast is because when I was a child, I lived in the same yard with many children. If I ate slowly, I would not be able to eat. If I ate unsightly, I would be deprived of the right to eat.
Tang Zangyue roughly figured out Fifteen's temperament and took the initiative to ask: "How did the banknote I gave you last time be used?"
"Go back to the master." Fifteen lowered his voice, "In recent years, you have not contacted Yixiantian. Yixiantian has been dormant in various villages, making a living by hunting. We leave early and come back late. The villagers do not know our identity. But we have saved some belongings. We just wait.
The master has spoken, but the banknote has not been touched yet. The savings saved over the years are usually used for spending."
Tang Zangyue nodded, "Don't lose yourself, and don't save me. I have a lot of banknotes in my hand. Every time you go to a town, you must find a way to convert it into cash and wait for my signal to collect it."
"Yes, Master."
Fifteen didn't ask any more questions. Tang Zangyue looked at his expression and smiled, "Do you know why you did this?"
Fifteen showed a confused expression again.
Her smile deepened.
Sister Ling, the youngest of the Xiao family, looks smarter than the young man in front of her.
Teenagers are like newborn, ignorant babies who need her to teach and guide them little by little.
For such an older child, will he be a shady soldier for the rest of his life?
As a modern person, of course she couldn't bear it.
Even if the dead men behind the scenes are forced to the stage, let them experience the harshness of the world, and make them lively and lively, there may be a risk of betrayal by them after they know the world, but it is better than now.
What she wants is loyalty, not a puppet who only listens to orders.
Expecting that she would not reply on the fifteenth day, she added: "Behind the bank is the imperial court. Once the world is in chaos, the banknote can only be regarded as a piece of paper. But real money can come in handy."
Fifteen: "Yes, Master."
She knew that he didn't understand it yet, so she didn't forcefully teach him anything.
After eating, Tang Zangyue asked Shishi to hide, and went to buy some things and visit the yamen and Xiao Zhongli in the medical clinic.
Xiao Zhongli was the least injured among the injured. His skin injuries were stopped, the bleeding was stopped, and he was bandaged. After a night's sleep, he felt energetic.
On the other hand, other government officials were so badly injured that they were in so much pain that they could not sleep well all night.
Tang Zangyue: "Brother Chai, brother Li, is it any better?"
Xiao Zhongli: "Grandma, things are almost better here. You can go back..."
Tang Zangyue raised her hand to interrupt, "Aunt Liu and the others are protected by your elder brother. They don't need you, an injured person, to go back so quickly."
Yamen: "Thank you, madam, for coming to visit."
She brought baskets of newly bought eggs and borrowed the medicine-making kitchen in the hospital to boil the eggs and distribute them one by one.
Finally, Tang Zangyue said: "It happens that there are still some things that need to be purchased. I am short of money, so don't mind these eggs, brother."
"What are you talking about, old lady? Who doesn't know..." The yamen servant saw a medical apprentice coming in and out of the hall and became speechless.
They came together with Xiao Zhongli.
Looking at their attire, the doctor who treated them privately asked them what their relationship was with Xiao Zhongli.
Can they say that Xiao Zhongli was escorted by them?
cannot.
They just said they were acquaintances. This guy's family was in business and they were traveling the same way.
This prevented Xiao Zhongli from being treated differently.
The doctor became suspicious and asked a relative who was on duty at the local government office to inquire. He actually found out that the man named Xiao came to the town to do business. Only then was he convinced of the government officer's theory.
Xiao Zhongli tugged on Tang Zangyue's sleeves, lowered his voice, and told Tang Zangyue the private exchange between the yamen servant and the doctor last night.
Tang Zangyue recalled that when she borrowed the kitchen, the medical disciples did not make things difficult for her, and there was no difference in their expressions. She must have believed the words of the government officials.
She suddenly sank. It took a long time, until Xiao Zhongli felt a little uneasy, and then he said: "The Xiao family is worthy of the people and the world."
The one who failed the Xiao family was a foolish king and a corrupt court.
"grandmother……"
"You have a good rest these days and don't worry about anything else. Even if the sky falls, grandma will hold you up."
"Yes, grandma."
Seeing the slightest hint of emotion in the child's eyes, it would have been difficult to catch it if she hadn't been very sensitive.
Especially remember that when Xiao Zhongli first came to the General's Mansion, he was thin and dark, with thorns all over his body. He was so wary that even the child bride he grew up with didn't completely believe him...
Tang Zangyue remembered that there was something he had not told the child. No wonder he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes as soon as he entered the hospital.
She whispered: "Last night's thief was arranged by my grandmother to stay in this town for a few more days."
Xiao Zhongli was speechless for a while, remembering something in a daze, and said, "But what did the kid I met at the pawnshop do yesterday?"
Tang Zangyue nodded, "The General's Mansion has collapsed, but our Xiao family has not collapsed. This place is not far from the capital, and it is not within the jurisdiction of Hunjun. It is a good time to do something. Many things need to be purchased in large quantities to prepare for the future.
.”
Xiao Zhongli's eyes lit up and he said, "Grandma wants to..."
She knew that there was something hidden in the child's heart. Even though he accepted the original owner, he was still extreme and persistent in his treatment of Qian Zishu and his biological parents...
Tang Zangyue: "If we don't talk about this now, you will have a good rest. When the opportunity comes, the Xiao family will still have to rely on you and Brother Lu to support it. It doesn't matter if you can't support it. Grandma will be your backing."
"Thank you grandma."
Tang Zangyue bought another car and returned to the team with the newly bought sauce jars and bottles.
The purchased items are not valuable, including the eggs sent to the hospital. The government officials will not say anything, let alone feel jealous, so that the family can be safe on the road to exile and will not be suppressed on the surface.
However, she still likes to order things around and doesn't like to do things herself.
Next time you go shopping in town, it would be better to take Yuechun with you.
The main thing is that Xiao Zhonglu is responsible for the safety of the whole family, so he can only boss this girl around.
Because she came back a little late, Aunt Liu cooked the food.
I only saw her cooking once yesterday, and Aunt Liu's cooking skills far surpassed hers...
Um.
It seems that the control of the kitchen can be pushed out, and she can take charge of the command.
Although the rest of the Xiao family didn't say anything on their faces, what they were thinking in their hearts was that today's porridge with wild vegetables and whole grains was indeed more satisfying than yesterday's.
After dinner, Xiao Yuechun and Xiao Yuenong were responsible for washing the dishes, while she led the others to pick wild vegetables and fruits.
Wild vegetables can be dried into dried vegetables. If the cabbage is not weighed, she would find it troublesome to push it around, so she will buy some cheap Chinese cabbage today.
"Grandma, can this wild fruit be eaten?"
"Okay, this is thorn bubble."
"Then I will pick more and bring it back to my little aunt and sister Yuechun."
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry."
Not only wild fruits and vegetables, Tang Zangyue also saw some common medicinal herbs and gathered them back, planning to brew them.
Brewing tools also need to be prepared.
Why.
Seeing Tang Zangyue coming back from picking herbs, the Yamen servant was surprised and said: "Old lady picked these? Does she know medical skills?"
Tang Zangyue said modestly: "To tell you the truth, I was born as a military doctor before I got married, and I knew some superficial skills. I didn't have anything handy last night, so I didn't help my brothers rashly..."
"Old madam, please call me Xiao Yi."
Tang Zangyue narrowed her eyes and said generously: "Then I will be bold and call you Xiao Yi. Don't call me old lady. Just call me Aunt Tang."
Marry and obey your husband. In contemporary times, women will not be given their husband's surname, but they all regard their husband as their top priority. Even the original owner followed the teachings of her deceased husband and forced the Xiao family's sons to the battlefield one by one. In the end, they abandoned the emperor and were sentenced to death.
He was exiled and all his descendants were killed in battle.
Not to mention that the original owner was pedantic, but from the perspective of her otherworldly soul, it was somewhat ridiculous.
"Aunt Tang, there is someone with a headache and fever on the way. Please help Aunt Tang."
In ancient times, medical fees were not cheap. There was a patient who had a headache and fever, and she paid for it with a sum of money. She was in the exile team, and if she took action, she would definitely not accept money from the government officials. What she owed the government officials was a favor.
It's mutually beneficial.
Tang Zangyue hid her thoughts and said: "It's not troublesome, it's not in the way."
The newly picked wild vegetables are juicy and juicy. Some are hung to dry to make dried vegetables, and the rest are kept for eating tomorrow.
When she and Aunt Liu were finished, she looked up and saw Sister Ling handing the prickly pear to her little aunt and Yuechun like a treasure.
"Sister Yuechun, little aunt, look, it's the wild fruit I picked. Grandma said it's called thorn pao'er, and it's delicious."
To be honest, the taste is a bit sour, which should be because it is not fully ripe. But this is picked by Xiao Ling'er herself and given by others, so they have two different tastes.
Xiao Yuenong frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows and said, "It's delicious. Sister Ling has grown up."
The snacks in Yuechun were bitter, not to mention the sour wild fruits. In order to satisfy their hunger, they even grabbed the chaff from the pigs and ate it. At this moment, she responded sincerely: "It's delicious. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Ling."
As a free person in the Xiao family, Yuechun was told by her original owner that she did not have to abide by the rules of being a slave and called the Xiao family along with Xiao Zhongli's seniority. Yuechun always remembered and followed the rules, but she still respectfully addressed the original owner as "Old Madam".
