Chapter 88 The Holy Hand
The Bai Xing siblings were playing by themselves in the house, and everyone had no time to care about them.
The farm children are all older and have younger children, so no one is worried about whether the two children will be scared.
The kitchen was so busy that there was no time to spare.
"Mom, you don't need to cut it so finely, otherwise you won't be able to finish it at dawn. The man said that as long as their brothers can eat enough, let's cook two pots of pickled cabbage and white meat, add two pots of potato cubes, and go with the soup and vegetables.
That's it." Seeing Mrs. Bai Liu chopping vegetables carefully, Bai Ling was afraid that the candlelight was not bright enough, so she cut it again with her hands and said hurriedly.
"Is that okay?" Ms. Bai Liu felt a little sorry. After all, the other party gave her a lot of money.
"What's the matter? They traveled all night in the snow and wind. If they hadn't found our house, they wouldn't have been able to eat hot rice, let alone meat." Bai Wei thought it was normal, so she took a basin and chopped it.
Cut the potatoes into large pieces according to Bai Ling's instructions.
Bai Sanshu looked at the two stoves, which were heating freeze-dried food, and looked at several pots of meat and vegetables, and said: "Baby, listen to our daughter, there are dozens of people's meals, how can we be so delicate?"
, it’s good if it’s enough to eat.”
There was a jar of freeze-dried food stored at home. It was so hot today that there might not be enough to eat. Bai Sanshu felt a little worried.
Bai Ling was mainly responsible for cooking for the man's master, two meat and two vegetables plus an egg drop soup, all simple farm dishes.
"I think this dry food is not enough. How about I go to the village and buy some?" Bai Sanshu carried some more firewood into the house and added half-dried firewood to the dryer, so that he didn't have to watch the fire all the time.
Previously, because Bai Ling and his two younger sisters were messing around and eating, he asked Bai Sanshu to temporarily set up two pots and stoves, which were directly connected to the fire pit in the west room.
I just boil hot water when I don't need it. It's convenient and saves me having to go to the West Room to burn the kang alone.
But I didn't expect that it would really come in handy today. Without these two pots, how could we cook food for so many people?
"Dad, ask your mother to find some change and go to the houses we are close to and ask them to heat up the dry food directly and deliver it to our house. No matter what kind of dry food it is, it should be the same as the white flour steamed buns in the town.
Forget it. Let’s see if anyone has a chicken that has been killed and bought it directly. Just make it into a chicken stew with potatoes. It costs one tael per pot.” Bai Ling said to Bai Sanshu while cooking.
"Second sister, why are you so generous? How much money do you have to give away?" Bai Wei stopped cutting vegetables, but glanced at the busy family, and without waiting for Bai Ling's reply, she said to Bai Sanshu: "Dad
Go quickly, it’s already this o’clock, if it’s later, everyone will be asleep.”
After all, she couldn't bear to let her parents suffer, so Bai Wei stopped thinking about saving money.
The corners of Bai Ling's mouth slightly raised, feeling that Bai Wei had finally become more transparent and no longer regarded money as the most important thing.
Mrs. Bai Liu hurriedly washed her hands and went back to the house to get money for Bai Sanshu. She also agreed with this idea.
Even if they spend money to buy some food, they can still make more than a dozen taels of silver. They can't just let the owner of the money go hungry just to make more money, right?
When Shangguan Yu and his party came over, his subordinates had already tidied up the two yards and left the 'best' room for Shangguan Yu to live in. It was enough for the others to have a place to shelter from the wind and snow.
alright.
However, no matter how much you clean it up, the abandoned houses are still dilapidated and moldy.
"Master, why don't we rent that house?" The subordinate looked at the roof worriedly, "It's windy and snowy tonight, and I'm afraid the roof won't be able to withstand it."
Yang Fan had already looked at the yard and couldn't help but feel worried, but he glanced at Shangguan Yu and said nothing.
Although Shangguan Yu was the heir apparent at birth, he was not always raised in a honey pot.
Not only has he practiced martial arts since he was a child, he entered the military camp for training at the age of ten. He began to serve as an infantryman and fight the enemy at the age of twelve. He can adapt to no matter how difficult the environment is.
"Let's go and see if the food is ready." Shangguan Yu sat cross-legged, with his back leaning on a soft cushion, and showed no sign of disdain, "Arrange the rotation so that everyone can have a rest, and we will start again after dawn tomorrow."
"Yes." After hearing Shangguan Yu's instructions and seeing that Yang Fan had no intention of persuading him, the man took the order and left.
"Do I need my subordinates to investigate that family again?" Yang Fan had been with Shangguan Yu for the longest time, so he knew what he was thinking.
"There is no need to deliberately investigate." He took the cloth handed over by Yang Fan and wiped his face. Shangguan Yu said in a gentle tone: "Can I contact Mr. Shang?"
"Not yet." Yang Fan shook his head and saw Shangguan Yu frowning, and continued: "My subordinates have already passed on the news. After Mr. Shang gets the news, he will definitely come as soon as possible."
"Yes." Shangguan Yu nodded, thinking of Mr. Shang's temperament, he couldn't help but smile a little, "Mr. Shang has devoted his life to medical skills. If he knew that someone could suppress the poison in my body, he would definitely put down everything he was doing, no matter what.
Come here and pay the price."
Shangguan Yu's smile made Yang Fan's face darken.
Mr. Shang was known as a miraculous doctor, but no doctor could cure any patient he said could not be cured. In the field of medical skills, he was the most powerful person in the world, and even the emperor respected him.
However, Shangguan Yu was poisoned from his mother's fetal feces and was poisoned many times after that. The most Mr. Shang could do was extend Shangguan Yu's life and reduce his pain, but he could not completely cure Shangguan Yu's disease.
I don’t know why Mr. Shang suddenly went into seclusion. Apart from secretly treating Shangguan Yu, Mr. Shang has always closed his doors to thank guests, and almost no one knows his whereabouts.
But every year Shang Lao disappears for a period of time. Although he will leave enough medicine for Shangguan Yu to survive, it is extremely difficult to find him.
Not to mention the situation on Shangguan Yu's master's and servant's side, the food in the third room was finally ready.
Except for the four dishes and one soup made by Bai Ling, the rest are all served in buckets or pots.
"Dad, let's send it over. It's already this hour, and it's time to rest after delivering the food." Bai Ling said, raising his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The meals cooked by the families in the village will be delivered to the yard next door by the village chief's family in an ox cart.
The road was slippery in the snow, and it was so dark that it was hard to see the road clearly. If I had to rely on only two legs to get here, my food would get cold.
"Hey, you guys get the lighter ones. Dad will go over first with these two buckets of vegetables." Bai Sanshu often carries water, so carrying two buckets of vegetables is not strenuous.
"Mom, just hold the lantern and go ahead. Anyway, you can't take it all at once. Don't drop it when it's so dark." Bai Ling lit two lanterns and handed them to Bai Liu.
The ice lantern in the yard at home was not turned off, but it was dark for a while after leaving the yard.
Bai Ling was not afraid of spilling the food before cooking, but she was afraid that her family members would be burned, which would make them suffer.
"Okay, you all should be careful." Mrs. Bai Liu took the lantern and stood leaning against the door. After the father and daughter had gone out, she quickly walked to the front.
Among Shangguan Yu's subordinates, in addition to the secret guards hiding in the dark, there are also guards patrolling near the courtyard.
There was no way to boil water in the dilapidated kitchen, but a large group of people would definitely bring cooking utensils with them when they went out, so they lit a fire in the yard to boil water, and the patrols could also take turns to keep warm, which was a double benefit.
Those on duty were squinting in other rooms, ready to change guard or protect their master at any time.
"Brothers, do you guys want to get rid of the things? There is still food in my pot, there is nothing left." Bai Sanshu stood at the gate of the courtyard and said to the guard.
"Leave it for now, I'll have someone pour it out and send it to you," the guard said.
Bai Sanshu still wanted to talk, but Bai Ling handed over the four dishes and one soup in a basin, and said with a smile: "These are dishes made for your master. The farmers don't know how to make them, and they don't know if they will turn out."
