Chapter 6 Chili Crisp
"Your pearl necklace is worth a lot of silver, and I will make an exception and allow you and your wife to go to the deck to eat with the workers, but you can't enter that room." The steward's man led them into the cabin and gave them a few hasty instructions.
Josu turned to him and asked, "Can you give me some medicine to stop the bleeding?" My father-in-law was injured. ”
The man smiled incomprehensibly, shook his head, and said, "Little girl, medicinal herbs are not something that can be given to you casually. ”
"I can't buy it from you?"
"You think you can buy it?"
After the man finished speaking, he left without looking back, Qiao Su was about to get up to chase after her, but Qin Shen grabbed her.
"When he set sail, the medicinal materials are extremely precious, they are all prepared for his own people, and he will not sell them." Qin Shen struggled to explain to her, and in the cold and dark cabin, he soon began to feel dizzy.
"You hold on, I'll help you pull out the broken arrow first!" Qiao Su was so anxious that she helped him sit on the ground and tore off her clothes to bandage him.
New injuries and old injuries, it's only been a day since we met, Qin Shen has suffered so many injuries for her, this kindness Qiao Su must remember in his heart!
The cabin was dark, and just as Qiao Su struggled to identify Qin Shen's wounds, an oil lamp was pushed to their side, and along with it, there was also a bottle of medicinal powder to stop bleeding.
"Take it, don't thank me." It was another white-clothed scholar in the cabin who spoke, and Qiao Su knew that it was a woman disguised as a man when she heard it, and her voice was very nasal.
The scholar sniffed and said, "This is the best white medicine, sprinkle it on the wound to stop the bleeding." ”
Qiao Su took the medicine in disbelief, she couldn't think of a reason for the scholar to harm Qin Shen, and Qin Shen's injury couldn't be delayed any longer, so she thanked the scholar and bowed her head to bandage Qin Shen.
The bandaging technique was naturally messy, but fortunately, Qin Shen had already fallen asleep, his head resting on her lap, and he didn't say a word.
Qiao Su looked down and felt that he looked a little pitiful, like a big injured cat.
"Hey, don't you ask me what my name is?" The scholar asked Josu.
"Dare to ask Engongzun's name?"
"You don't need to know my name, remember to call me Wang Daxia, the Wang of Wang Baiyu." After speaking, Wang Baiyu sneezed fiercely, and said to Qiao Su, "Is there any white medicine left?" I've got to eat it. ”
"You eat this? I think you're caught with the cold, and eating this doesn't work. As he spoke, Qiao Su threw the medicine to Wang Baiyu.
Wang Baiyu pulled out the plug and poured a little into his mouth, scolded and said: "I have been in this cabin for more than half a month, and my body is very uncomfortable. ”
As she spoke, a drop of water fell on Qiao Su's face, she raised her head to check, and found that the wooden planks on the top of her head were full of water droplets, and the straw spread under her body was also damp, staying in such a place for half a month, no wonder Wang Baiyu caught a cold.
It's too damp here, Qin Shen won't be able to stand it, he has to find something to make him sweat.
"By the way, if you can go to the deck to eat and help those two children get a steamed bun, they don't bring any dry food." Wang Baiyu said to Qiao Su suddenly.
Qiao Su looked over and saw two eleven or twelve-year-old boys leaning on a large wooden box containing wood carvings to sleep, looking nothing special, but their faces were full of pus, which made people feel distressed.
Wang Baiyu said again, "They are very pitiful, they can only pick those dried hay and flowers carved from the cracks in the wooden box to eat, you help them." ”
In an instant, there seemed to be some clues connected in Qiao Su's mind, dried flowers, pus, sweating-
"What do they eat? Can I take a look? Qiao Su cautiously moved Qin Shen away and walked towards the big wooden box.
"Right on the ground, the red flowers and the yellow grass can be eaten." Wang Baiyu explained to her in a huff.
Qiao Su picked it up and looked at it, and sure enough, it was chili.
"Wang Daxia, can you help me take care of my father-in-law? I have a cure for your illness, and I will go back as soon as I go. Josu picked up a handful of chili peppers, opened the cabin door and ran out.
The housekeeper once said that he would not let Qiao Su get close to the room, but with a glimmer of hope, she smelled the smell of putty and found the room, but she didn't expect that the door was locked, and she couldn't open it at all.
"No, we have to find a way."
At the turn of day, there were only one or two night watchmen on the deck, secretly setting up a small oil pot, trying to catch some fish and shrimp from the river for tooth sacrifice, wine and peanuts were prepared, but the fish was not caught for a long time, and now the people did not know where to go.
Josu stared at the little oil pot.
With the mentality of giving it a try, she walked over with the chili pepper in her hand, and there was a bowl of batter for frying fish and shrimp next to the oil pot, she broke the chili pepper into small pieces, half of it was fried until the oil came out, and the other half was dipped in the batter and then set in the pot to make it fragrant.
She poured all the peanuts into the pot and fried them, and after a while, the red oil pan exuded a rich burnt aroma, and then took them out of the pot when the two ingredients were hung with a brown color, and the salt had not been sprinkled evenly after the pot, and the fragrance had hooked the night vigil workers.
"W-what is this?"
"I'm hungry, so I made a snack from my hometown, do you want to try it too?" Josu asked him with a plate, blinking innocent eyes.
"Of course, of course!" The worker sucked in his saliva and reached out to grab it, but Qiao Su dodged it all at once.
Qiao Su said aggrievedly, "Can you do me a favor?" ”
"You want the key to the room?" The workers became suspicious.
Qiao Su blew the heat of the chili crisp to make the fragrance drift farther away, and she said, "I am so hungry that your steward took my pearl necklace and said that I could eat with the workers, but you are not yet ready for breakfast!" ”
After the deck change, the workers who kept vigil could only receive two steamed buns, and things like rice porridge and beef were prepared for the next shift workers, and he didn't dare to take them if he wanted to.
"It's-"
"I'll just go in and get two steamed buns, I'm so hungry." Qiao Su quietly put the chili crisp on the small stool, poured a glass of wine for the worker and said, "You can keep this snack and eat it, it's crispy and crispy, take a bite and pair it with dense and delicate liquor, the whole body is comfortable, that taste-"
"The key is given to you, since you have the orders of the steward, you can go in and get it, but don't make too much of a fuss and be punished." The worker pulled one out of a large bunch of keys from his waist and handed it to Josu, who hurriedly snatched the glass.
Qiao Su bit her lower lip and walked away with the remaining half of the pepper.
After entering the room, she found that the food of the workers was really good, including beef, noodles, and pickles, and Qiao Su suddenly had a question in her heart, how much silver was her pearl necklace worth, and could she get such a good treatment?
She grabbed a handful of dry noodles piled up into a hill and threw them into the pot, burned the fire and cooked them, she wanted to fry the hot sauce to make a mixed noodles, but she thought of Qin Shen's injury and had to eat some mild sweating, so she added water to the pot, added lard and simply prepared the soup, and locked the temperature with chili oil on the top, and the improved version of the rice noodles was ready.
