Chapter 393: Tonic Soup

Wu was picked up by Mrs. Li, and scolded her for eating and drinking spicy food and spicy food and gaining weight in prison as she walked, and Wu only lowered his head and cried, and he didn't dare to reply to half a sentence.

Zhuang Rou can only repay her grievances, but she can't solve her troubles, probably when Mrs. Li dies, this Wu family will be able to relax.

After pondering this case, she felt a little strange, Hongzhou does not have a big workshop, so many people are required to work, and Zhu Yifa recruited so many victims, which is indeed a little strange.

So, Zhuang Rou went to Chef Liu's son-in-law's house in the evening and told her that she could go out to sell some multigrain cakes, especially to pay attention to whether there were any victims who said that they wanted to go out to work to make money, this matter was the most important.

Chef Liu responded, originally her son-in-law had to do some handymen on weekdays to survive, but now there are so many people outside, some of them don't even want money, as long as they have a stutter, they are willing to work, and her son-in-law is forced to stay idle at home.

Just let him take care of his wife and children at home, and he went out to sell multigrain cakes every day. In addition to inquiring about the news, when you take your own money out to spend, you will not let your neighbors be suspicious.

Zhuang Rou told her not to inquire too much, if she was discovered by someone with a heart, it might be unfavorable to her.

Chef Liu was startled by these words, she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't expect that there would be danger. She hurriedly nodded and wrote it down, but don't put this old life into it.

After telling Chef Liu, Zhuang Rou climbed over the wall and went out of her house and returned to the yamen.

At this time, it was late at night, and most of the people were asleep, so it was good to save money for oil lamps and candles.

But when Zhuang Rou returned to the back of the yamen, he saw that the lights were bright and lively. Especially King An's yard is noisy, and the smell of meat and wine wafts out of it, and he is having fun.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink......" she muttered very unpleasantly at the door, and when she returned to Chu Xia's courtyard, she walked to the study and saw that there was still a light coming out, and suddenly felt that this person was too unreasonable, can you move the study to your own room?

Zhuang Rou pushed the door in, and was a little surprised to find that her bed had been changed, and it was replaced by a bed that could hang a thick tent, and the bedding and everything were neatly spread. There is only one charcoal basin in the house, which is warm but not smoky.

"I came back so late, and this king thought that you were going to live in the shantytown, and I didn't come back to sleep after observing the people's feelings." Chu Xia sat leisurely at the desk, drinking a bowl of steaming ginseng chicken soup.

There is a large cup of chicken soup, but there is only one bowl in the bowl. Zhuang Rou came back in the middle of the night, and her body was a little cold, so if she didn't have a bowl, she drank it directly.

She stretched out her hand to grab the cup, but Chu Xia held it down with her hand, if she grabbed it hard, maybe a cup of chicken soup would have to be spilled.

"Stingy, let it go." Zhuang Rou said unceremoniously, it would be shameless to eat alone alone in the middle of the night.

Chu Xia smiled, slapped a spoonful of chicken soup with a spoon, raised it and said to her, "Come, open your mouth." ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him, sat down after a while, opened his mouth and drank this spoonful of chicken soup, it was really delicious, the chefs of this county palace were really good.

After just taking a sip, Chu Xia brought chicken soup to her mouth again, so that the soup would be cold if she fed it. Zhuang Rou opened her mouth and drank the spoonful of soup unceremoniously, grabbed the bowl on the table and wiped it clean, and finally picked up the cup with both hands, raised her head and drank it all.

She put the cup down, grabbed the handkerchief and wiped her mouth and threw it aside, picked up the copper kettle with hot water that was placed by the charcoal basin, and went out to wash.

Chu Xia looked at the empty bowl wistfully, he hadn't taken a few sips himself, he just wanted to take advantage of it and feed her two sips.

He put the ginseng slices in the cup in his mouth, chewed boringly, and watched Zhuang Rou come back after washing. I wanted to ask her how she hooked up with Na Mozuo, but she saw Zhuang Rou staring at his mouth and saying, "Why do you eat ginseng slices?" ”

"When you are still so young, you eat things that make up for the sun, and you still want to use the strong ones when you are so weak? This bed is mine, and you are not allowed to come up. ”

Chu Xia was stunned, and suddenly spit out the ginseng scum and shouted, "Ginseng is a qi tonic, when is Wangyang!" It's obvious that you have your own intentions to think of this kind of obscene thing. Besides, I've only taken a few sips of that soup, and I'll let you drink the rest! ”

"Now that the Houya is full of beautiful concubines and servants in King An's Mansion, I am afraid that the adult's liver will be weak and prosperous, and I will do something out of the ordinary, so I drank this soup to protect the lord with my body." Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and smiled, and pulled up the tent as soon as she sat on the bed, "My lord, Xia Guan has something to do tomorrow, so I won't sit on the cold bench with you." ”

"And be quieter, don't make me sleep."

The bed with the thick tent was like a big cabinet, and she felt a lot more relieved, Zhuang Rou lay down on the bed and said: When I don't know, the smell of wine is just coming back from playing with King An, stinky.

Chu Xia stared at the bed net for a while, then stood up and walked to the door, shouting into the courtyard, "Someone! Tell the kitchen to stew a cup of bullwhip soup for the king, and he will ask for it tomorrow morning. ”

Someone in the courtyard answered, and went down quickly.

He turned around and said to the study: "It is said that this king is weak, then tomorrow this king will make it up for you to see, and it is not that this king can't afford to eat!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a soft pillow flew out of the tent and hit him directly on the head, "Make up for you!" Don't wake me to sleep. ”

Chu Xia scolded angrily: "If you sleep on a porcelain pillow, you can't beat me to death!" ”

"I'm not stupid!" Zhuang Rou smiled and said, "Where can I give it." ”

Chu Xia was stunned, then rolled his eyes, "You woman, you are so annoying." After speaking, he hugged the pillow and brushed his sleeves away, and did not mess around in the study, but went back to his own room.

After Zhuang Rou got up early in the morning, he went directly to Chu Xia's small kitchen and went around, and sure enough, he found a pot of stewed bullwhip. Whether he really wants to eat or not, the kitchen has to make it for him after he sent a message last night.

However, it is illegal to kill cattle without government permission, and it is impossible to buy them in the market. In the middle of the night, the guards went out of the city and ran all over the surrounding villages and counties, and finally found a wounded cow, and then got it.

This stewed for a few hours, and the fragrance was fragrant, although she knew what it was, Zhuang Rou didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to eat it. But he felt that this was a rare delicacy, so with a wave of his hand, he sent the kitchen to King An.

The people in the kitchen didn't dare to send it, this was what the king of the county wanted to eat, where did he dare to send it all away. was threatened by Zhuang Rou, and if he dared not send it, he overturned the pot.

In the end, under her fierce gaze, the subordinates had to send this pot of tonic soup with juice and meat to King An.

King An was overjoyed, and felt that Chu Xia was too thoughtful, and gave his subordinates a lot of rewards.

Seeing that there was indeed no one to hide the tonic soup, Zhuang Roucai swaggered away and went to do her official business, completely ignoring whether Chu Xia would come to look for the soup after getting up.

There was no need for Chu Xia to ask about the tonic soup, when he slept until the third pole of the day before he got up, someone came to report the matter of tonifying the soup.

After he asked people to retreat, he said regretfully: "I wanted to see if the woman would have nosebleeds when she drank this tonic soup, but I didn't expect to be given to King An by her." ”

Xiao Ran didn't say a word, just looked at him silently, drinking meat porridge that I don't know if it was lunch or breakfast.

Suddenly, Chu Xia raised his head and said to him, "Xiao Ran, you sent someone to spread the word, and Zhuang Juma sent dozens of beauties to King An to enjoy." I was also afraid that King An would be old and frail, so I boiled up Yang Tonifying Soup overnight and gave it to King An, so that he could replenish his essence and Wangyang. ”

"......" Xiao Ran was silent for a few breaths before responding, "My subordinates will do it." ”

Half an hour later in the kitchen, I also learned the good news, the king of the county was very satisfied with today's porridge, and used two bowls unusually, and the mood was very good, so that everyone was relieved to give away the soup.
