More than an hour later, the carriage that went to town to do shopping returned fully loaded.
Usually there are many children, so it is not easy for Hui Chen to go out and buy things. This time, thinking that he would have a carriage and money, he simply went on a big purchase. The children had not all the necessary things before, but this time they made up for it.
I also bought a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil, and even two pieces of cloth.
We also caught a cat. With so much food, we can't let it be ruined by rats again.
Ning Yue also asked Caiyan to buy some food.
After Caiyan finished moving things for Huichen, she ran out of the carriage with the groceries she bought today, and beamed at Ning Yue: "Miss, Youchuan has promised to teach me martial arts!"
She is already strong, but her ability to carry wood during this time is limited. If she wants to protect the young lady, she still has to learn from an expert.
Yuchuan is an expert, and the scene of him fighting the man in black that day is still fresh in her memory.
She just tentatively mentioned it, but Yuchuan agreed directly.
Ning Yue smiled and praised: "That's great, we Caiyan will soon become a master."
This girl is a sincere person. Two consecutive assassinations made Caiyan feel a sense of crisis. During this period, she was really willing to abuse herself.
He was exhausted from carrying wood during the day. He was worried that Yuchuan was a foreigner, so he insisted on accompanying her to see a doctor at night, for fear that she would be assassinated again somewhere.
Ning Yue advised her twice that she was protected by ghost soldiers at night, so she was actually very safe. But Caiyan didn't know that sometimes she couldn't bear to look at her hard work.
If she becomes a master soon, she will feel less panicked, and she will probably not push herself so hard.
Caiyan smiled at Youchuan and said, "Master, just wait, I'll prepare delicious food for you!"
Youchuan Erkangshou: "You're welcome!"
Caiyan can light the fire, but if he wants to eat the food she cooks... he would rather do it himself.
Ning Yue saw his refusal and smiled: "Master Caiyan, please wait, I will prepare an apprenticeship banquet for Caiyan."
Caiyan nodded fiercely: "Yeah, my lady helped me cook it, and the food she made is delicious!"
A smile appeared on Youchuan's face: "I don't dare, thank you madam."
Caiyan accompanied Ning Yue into the kitchen, while Huichen was putting away the things he had just bought.
Ning Yue saw half-obvious footprints on the cupboard, and she took another look. Caiyan thought she was too dirty, so she found a rag and wiped it away.
Huichen saw it and explained: "Children sometimes hide things in the cupboard. They are short, and some of them are naughty and will stand up to reach things."
Ning Yue smiled: "Master Huichen, can you borrow the kitchen?"
Hui Chen said: "Feel free to use it. There is a bamboo forest behind the mountain. You can dig some spring bamboo shoots."
Ning Yue agreed and asked Li Dongsheng to dig bamboo shoots.
Looking at the dishes we bought, there are tofu, vermicelli, and a lot of seasonings in the carriage.
After thinking about it, we all caught a cold in the morning, so it was a good time to make a hot pot of spicy soup for everyone.
When Cao Hong saw Ning Yue entering the kitchen, he took the bucket at hand and wanted to send it over.
As soon as they passed through a corridor, they bumped into Ying Xianqing, and water splashed all over them.
Cao Hong was knocked staggering and almost fell to the ground. Ying Xianqing was also knocked back two steps and stopped, covering her mouth and started coughing heavily again.
Cao Hong frowned, but Ying Xianqing had stopped coughing and hurriedly came over to help him. He said with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I spilled the water. Let me help you get it again."
"Hey, no, you're not in good health. We'll be here soon. I'll just pour it into the tank and make another bucket." Cao Hong immediately said with a smile.
He poured half a packet of medicinal powder into this bucket of water alone. After pouring it, he filled it with water again. What if the dose was not enough?
Ying Xianqing asked quietly: "Do you really don't need me to fill a new bucket?"
Cao Hong: "No need." There was some impatience in his voice.
Ying Xianqing nodded and stepped away to make way.
Cao Hong carried the water to the kitchen and said enthusiastically: "Ms. Ning, I've brought you some water. You can use it for cooking."
Ning Yue looked at the almost empty water tank and looked up at Cao Hong doubtfully.
The so-called showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
What is he preparing to do?
Cao Hong looked at her suspicious look, leaned over and said with an apologetic smile: "Ms. Ning, didn't I make Boss Zhao unhappy this morning? You have a good relationship with him, and Boss Zhao will come over for dinner later, right? Look, , can you say a nice word for me during dinner later?"
Ning Yue suddenly understood and nodded: "I will ask him to come over for dinner later. It won't be too big in the morning. I will tell you then."
"Hey, Mrs. Ning is such a good person. With so many people, one bucket will definitely not be enough. I'll get you two more buckets." Cao Hong, with a grateful face, poured the water into the water jar, turned around and went out.
It wasn't until the person disappeared that Caiyan said: "This person usually has a gloomy face, but he is so enthusiastic all of a sudden. It's strange that he is not used to it."
Even Caiyan, who didn't pay much attention to other people, noticed something was wrong with him.
Ning Yue approached the water tank, took out a silver needle from her arms and tried it, but there was no change.
Thinking that silver needles can only detect a few types of poisons, I stretched out the heel of my hand and dipped it in some water, put it under my nose and smelled it. There was no peculiar smell.
Ning Yue plucked up the courage and was about to lick it when Caiyan quickly dipped her hands into water and licked it, then blinked: "Miss, it tastes like normal water."
Ning Yue laughed: "What are you trying to grab? What if the water is poisonous?"
Caiyan actually looked a little proud: "Young lady has such good medical skills, she will definitely save me. If you are poisoned, I don't have the ability to save you."
Ying Xianqing walked in at this time and looked at the water in the tank: "It's safe, feel free to use it."
Ning Yue became interested: "Why, do you know?"
Ying Xianqing smiled mysteriously and turned to look at the dishes on the table: "What's delicious to eat today?"
Ning Yue curled her lips, wondering when this person would change his pretense.
He still said: "I'll eat spicy soup later."
Ying Xianqing nodded and stood watching, waiting to see her cooking.
Ning Yue was about to ask when Cao Hong came in with another bucket of water.
Ying Xianqing watched him pour the water into the water tank and said to him, "I'm sorry, brother, I bumped into you just now. I can't get over it. Let's have dinner together later as my apology."
Cao Hong quickly waved his hand: "Brother, don't take it to heart, I have already forgotten it. You can eat what you want, don't dare to disturb me."
He would not dare to eat such a fatal meal.
Seeing that he insisted, Ying Xianqing took a small basket and put two bowls of rice in it, and handed some vegetables to him: "Since brother insists, you can take these back. You must accept them, otherwise I will I feel very sorry."
Cao Hong didn't want to be entangled with him for too long. He just saw with his own eyes that the things he took had not passed through the water, so he took them and thanked him before leaving.
Ning Yue raised her eyebrows, why didn't she know that Ying Xianqing was such a polite person.
Moreover, he has never given her anything as a favor. What happened today?
