Chapter 491: Just Boast
"What's wrong?" Yu Liyuan didn't react at once, he just thought it was a mountain bandit or something.
But even if it's a mountain bandit, you can't be so fierce that you can make people panic, right?
"I don't know if it's an infectious disease or something, after all, it's too far from there. But even so, there are still a lot of people running this way, and I've seen several batches in the past few days alone. The shopkeeper shook his head, not knowing what was going on.
Including what he just told the two of them, it was all his hearsay.
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't have any other news, the two talked casually a few more times, and then went back with the vegetables they bought.
On the way back, it was still a very quiet road, and occasionally a few pedestrians were in a hurry, and it seemed that the situation was really not good.
But Yu Liyuan still couldn't figure it out, if it was really an infectious disease, someone would definitely report it, why didn't he receive any news from Yaochi before? Even if he was disturbed by Shen Xingyue's affairs and didn't care much about things, this kind of big thing still couldn't be hidden from him.
Listening to what the shopkeeper said, the news seemed to be hidden by the people above, but he actually didn't believe it. Because after the embankment here was rebuilt, he sent a new group of people to garrison it, and it stands to reason that these people were carefully selected, how could they do such a thing.
But they don't know the truth of the matter, and they can't say anything big at this time, so they can only go back first and discuss the results before making plans.
After making sure that there were no other shops selling vegetables on the street, they still bought a few more vegetables.
When I go back, the four of us are gathered around, you look at me, and I look at you.
"The slave maid used to be a young lady at home, and she never cooked." Liu Xiu felt very guilty in her heart, feeling that she couldn't help at this time, but if she forced herself to come and make something that she couldn't eat, it would be even worse, so she immediately confessed.
The eyes of the three turned to Xiao Shunzi, who was given great expectations, and Xiao Shunzi, who was given great expectations, couldn't resist the pressure, and nodded slowly: "The slave used to cook some meals, but because the palace was full of imperial chefs preparing meals, the slave hadn't cooked for a long time." ”
Compared with the other three people who can't cook at all, Xiao Shunzi is already good, so the heavy responsibility of cooking is also honorably handed over to Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi also sighed when she saw this, and reluctantly entered the kitchen.
Shen Xingyue felt that although she didn't know how to cook, she had at least seen a lot of cooking videos on the Internet, so maybe she could give Xiaoshunzi some guidance? So she followed her into the kitchen.
But the ideal is always beautiful, because with Shen Xingyue watching from the side, Xiao Shunzi is also more nervous, and the things he made in the end are not very good.
Shen Xingyue looked anxious, and also rolled up her sleeves: "You make a fire here, I'll fry it!" ”
The ingredients are ready-made, Xiaoshunzi has already cut them before, Shen Xingyue made the simplest fried shredded potatoes with her memory, what she didn't expect was that she couldn't fry the paste, and it looked good.
Xiao Shunzi quickly brought out the fried shredded potatoes, and after the two of them tasted it, they both felt that the taste was not bad, but compared with the imperial chef in the palace, of course, it was much worse.
"This is the queen mother herself who did it." Xiao Shunzi saw that the two wanted to evaluate, so he added.
At this time, the faces of the two also changed, and their eyes on this plate of fried shredded potatoes changed from casual at the beginning to surprise.
When Shen Xingyue came out, he heard Yu Liyuan's voice full of praise: "It's so delicious, how can you make such a delicious thing." ”
She leaned over and tasted it, and thought it tasted very average.
"It's ordinary, why are you boasting so much, I thought what I made was delicious." Shen Xingyue looked at Yu Liyuan, feeling that the praise that Yu Liyuan said before was suspected of exaggeration.
"How can the things you say be ordinary, of course they are the most delicious." Yu Liyuan swore that he was true, and he didn't have the consciousness that he was currying favor with Shen Xingyue now.
Although he knew that what he said was suspected of exaggeration, Shen Xingyue was still in a good mood.
It's the four of them, and they can't just eat this small plate of fried shredded potatoes.
So, after weighing the two phases, Shen Xingyue went back and fried some more shredded potatoes, so that the four of them could barely eat a full meal.
They were going to go to a nearby restaurant to buy food today, but the restaurant was closed, and I heard that the boss had rushed to the north with his wife and children.
There was no way around it, so there was a scene like before, and they could only fend for themselves.
"This is a small town after all, and the actions of the people here are not representative of the entire Jiangnan region, so I think we should go to a bigger city to have a look." Shen Xingyue thought about it and expressed her opinion.
Yu Liyuan also nodded when he heard this, he felt that Shen Xingyue's idea was good, similar to what he thought.
The two turned their eyes to Xiao Shunzi and Liu Xiu, but the two of them didn't have any ideas, and at this time they also said straightforwardly: "Where you go, we will go." ”
The matter was settled, because the conditions here were so difficult, so they did not linger too long, but packed up their things and left the town that afternoon.
The largest city in the vicinity is still Nanzhao City, they used to gather all the victims in Nanzhao City, and stayed here for a long time.
But Nanzhao City was still relatively far away from here, and they didn't have much time, so they simply settled in a small city nearby.
Unlike in the town, the town is a little better, but the streets are less lively than they used to be.
Only then did they notice that the matter had quietly spread.
There were more people in the city, and the tone was not so tight, so they didn't have to make much effort to find out the situation.
It was a small village where there was a problem, and the villagers were covered in pus for some reason, and it looked particularly scary.
Later, people slowly died, which gradually caused panic.
But this is useless, because after the people above learned this news, they were not afraid of being investigated at the first time, but designed to suppress this news so that no one else would know about it.
The village was deserted and made a name for itself in the surrounding towns, and everyone was afraid of them, and it didn't take long for anyone who came into contact with them to catch the same symptoms.
More and more people went to the clinic, but in the end, even the doctor who treated the doctor also got sick.
At this time, everyone was in an uproar, and the matter was reported layer by layer, but the managers of this area still insisted on concealing the news, and ordered all the surrounding areas to be sealed off so that no one could tell them.
