Chapter 4 Will You Do It?

The road is far away, the ice and snow, how can a cake fill the stomach?

In the memory of the original owner, he starved to death on the road. There were more than a dozen prisoners who froze to death and died of exhaustion.

If this continues, let alone arrive at the place of exile and survive, I am afraid that on the way, I will either die of exhaustion or freeze to death.

She stood up with the tree, and Xiao Ji, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, opened her eyes: "Where are you going?" ”

She pointed at Yang Qi: "They're looking for cooks." I'm going to try it, maybe I can change it to something to eat, and everyone can eat more. ”

Xiao Ji frowned, "Your body ......"

Xie Yin and the twin siblings also looked over.

"Shui Yao, don't move, you're not in good shape. We'll be fine if we eat less. Take a lot of rest and rest. ”

Cheng Shuiyao has secretly drunk the spiritual spring a few times, and she has already improved a lot, and she is in good spirits at the moment, and her complexion is still a little ruddy.

"I'm a lot better. Do not worry. Really, you see, I'm in good spirits. ”

Xiao Ji is a cold character, it is rare to be able to ask a question, and when she insisted on going, she no longer persuaded her.

He stood up: "I'll help you." ”

Cheng Shuiyao recommended herself, and Yang Qi, who was losing her temper, turned around and looked at her in surprise.

"Will you do it?"

These exiled female dependents, all of whom are pampered, do not touch the spring water with their fingers, what good things can they make to eat?

Cheng Shuiyao made a perfunctory excuse: "I'm so good, I used to cook at home......"

When Xiao Ji heard this, she lifted her eyelids and glanced at her.

The bride sent by the Cheng family is a fake, and the Xiao family knows this well, and since Cheng Shuiyao can be sent to exile with the Xiao family, she will definitely not be favored at home.

It's not surprising that you know a little cooking.

Yang Qi handed her the jerky and some fresh dishes, as Cheng Shuiyao thought, and said, "When you are ready, I will give you two bowls." ”

Cheng Shuiyao swallowed her saliva, so she didn't hold it directly, she pressed her rumbling stomach and came to the cooking place.

The materials are ready to go.

Lamb stays fresh in the snow and ice, but it also means it's hard as stone. Cheng Shuiyao took the kitchen knife and slashed it several times, but except for leaving a few knife marks, it was useless.

"I'll come."

Xiao Ji took the kitchen knife from her hand and chopped it towards the mutton.

Even though he is physically weak and mentally tired, he is a man in the end, and he has practiced martial arts all the year round, fighting all the way on the battlefield, and his strength is more than a star and a half greater than that of Cheng Shuiyao.

With a knife, the flesh and bones are separated, and they are crisp and neat.

The board "banged", and soon the mutton was chopped into pieces, Cheng Shuiyao looked at the pieces of meat of different sizes and blinked.

As a food anchor who is a bit forced to Zhang, she is a little bad.

Seeing that Xiao Ji was interested in dealing with other vegetables, she hurriedly snatched the kitchen knife: "You go and make a fire to boil water, I'll come." ”

Xiao Ji went silently.

He went to war with his father since he was a child, and he was a good hand at making fires.

Cheng Shuiyao put the mutton in a pot under cold water, wait for the fire to boil, skim off the foam, add green onion and ginger to simmer over high heat, keep it boiling throughout the whole process, wait for the broth to be thick and white, add other vegetables and vegetables, and add salt to taste at the end.

It was cold, so she took a big spoonful of spicy pepper into it.

The spicy fragrance wafted out, and the surrounding prisoners twitched their noses, all staring at the place, but they did not dare to move because of the soldiers on their side.

Yang Qi came over with his brothers and took a breath of aroma with satisfaction: "After walking for so many days, it's the first time I've asked about such a fragrant broth." Cheng Niangzi, the craftsmanship is good. ”

Cheng Shuiyao smiled implicitly.

The material is simple, it can only be made like this, and in modern times, she keeps it ten times stronger.

The soldiers were dying, and they all played a big bowl, and ate the dry and hard cakes with relish, and were full of praise.

The broth was spicy, and the soldiers were sweating in the cold wind.

Yang Qi was very satisfied, he pointed to the little broth left in the pot, and said to Cheng Shuiyao: "The rest is yours." ”

Cheng Shuiyao hurriedly thanked him, and took advantage of Xiao Ji's efforts to get the bowl, and secretly put some spiritual spring water into the broth.

Although she recommended herself with the idea of begging for some food, the spiritual spring water was the main reason.

Eating can only fill the stomach, but the spring water can cleanse the spirit.

It's small, but it's better than nothing.

The two bowls of broth filled up, and the two walked back to where they came, and the twins were nibbling on the dry bread, and their eyes lit up at the sight of the floating oil and fine scraps of meat in the bowl.

"Mother." Cheng Shuiyao was in a good mood and put the bowl on the ground, "Drink it, it's still hot, just to warm up." ”

Xie Yin pressed his cooing stomach, and smiled softly and kindly: "Mother is not hungry, let's eat." Look at you, after a serious illness, I finally survived, how thin have you become? ”

In fact, she herself was even thinner.

She has been pampered since she was born, and she is loved by thousands of people when she marries into the Xiao family, her husband and children hold her in the palm of her hand, when did she suffer from this thousands of miles of exile?

Halfway through the journey, she was already emaciated, and if Xiao Ji hadn't watched it from time to time, she would have been unable to hold on.

"There are two bowls here, mother, let's eat together." Cheng Shuiyao said, "This journey is still far away, how can you hold on if you don't eat more." Eat it quickly, it should be cold in a while. ”

"Besides, if you don't eat, we won't eat either. What do you see Zijie and Ruxue have lost weight? And also...... There is also Xianggong. ”

Xiao Ji raised his eyes and glanced at it, Cheng Shuiyao's voice was stuck, and he was full of goosebumps from these two words, and when he spoke again, it was much smoother.

"You see that Xianggong's face is also very bad, can you bear to watch them not eat?"

Xie Yin could only be persuaded.

So the five of them gathered around and ate the cake with the fragrant broth, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

There are those who don't have long eyes, so they have to come out to spoil the fun.

The eldest lady Cheng walked over, squinted her eyes, and made a yin and yang weird tone.

"Yo, why don't you eat alone here?"

It is like a cold winter wind whistling by, sweeping away the warm atmosphere.

Xie Yin raised his head: "Sister-in-law? ”

"Hasn't the Duchess always boasted of her noble conduct, elegance and integrity? How can you do this business of eating alone? ”

Before Xie Yin could speak, Cheng Shuiyao's delicate eyebrows raised: "You speak politely!" What is a deed! ”

"I'm talking to your mother-in-law, when will it be your turn to interject? Nothing big or small! ”

The eldest lady glanced at her, and then looked at Xie Yin, "If it weren't for Xiao Zhenheng, our big house wouldn't have fallen to this point, your second room has made us like this, and we have food for ourselves, sneaky, but you really have a face." ”

The guilt in Xie Yin's heart came up.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry."
