After drinking hot porridge, the body is much warmer, everyone is satisfied with talking to each other, and the feeling of fatigue is much less.

"Mother, is the porridge enough?"

Seeing that Xie Yin hadn't drunk much, Cheng Shuiyao took the initiative to hold her porridge and walked over, looking at Xie Yin with a smile.

"You keep it for yourself, your body is so weak, you have to make up for it."

Xie Yin looked at Cheng Shuiyao, who was emaciated, and had some tears for no reason.

What a good girl's family, it's a pity that I ran into such a family business, and it was really hard for the child.

Cheng Shuiyao hurriedly excused herself, directly handed the bowl to Xie Yin's hand, and then smiled with bent eyes.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about me, I have to taste the porridge when I cook it, but I drink it several times after coming and going, don't shirk it."

This......

Xie Yin hesitated, knowing that this was a kindness from the child, so he didn't refuse.

Seeing that Xie Yin finished drinking the porridge, Cheng Shuiyao felt a lot more relieved, and when she saw that the snow had stopped, she went out curiously to take a look.

The snow was very thick, and the height was enough to reach the middle of Cheng Shuiyao's calf, Cheng Shuiyao took a few tentative steps and found that it was extremely laborious.

It's like stepping into a mud puddle, and it's hard to pull it up.

Bitter and hateful accepted this reality, listening to the sound of Yang Qi greeting and leaving, Cheng Shuiyao sighed and stepped to follow.

This walk is another day, and by the time he rests, Cheng Shuiyao is already too tired to straighten his waist.

"Cheng Niangzi, how are you? Can you come over and cook? ”

Yang Qi looked for Cheng Shuiyao for a long time, and then saw Cheng Shuiyao sitting alone in the corner, and hurriedly walked over.

"I'm fine, I'll go." Quickly got up, Cheng Shuiyao silently rubbed her sore legs, and followed Yang Qi over.

Seeing that there was more and more no choice for dishes, Cheng Shuiyao twitched the corners of her eyes and looked at Yang Qi on the side decisively.

"How long will it be until we get to the next county?"

"As long as you don't rest tomorrow, you can arrive at sunset at the latest, what's wrong?"

Yang Qi glanced at Cheng Shuiyao suspiciously, quite puzzled.

Why is Cheng Niangzi weird today?

"The ingredients are a little insufficient, I'm just estimating the quantity," Cheng Shuiyao smiled, and then spoke, "Since the next supply can be carried out tomorrow, then I don't have to be too streamlined." ”

After speaking, Cheng Shuiyao lowered her head and dealt with the dishes.

She hadn't paid attention a few days ago, but when she was rummaging for ingredients today, she suddenly found an egg.

This is a good thing, although the quantity is not much, but it is also a meat, and it can be divided into egg drop soup.

But just drinking egg drop soup is definitely not enough, Cheng Shuiyao steamed the cakes with the steam when cooking egg drop soup, so that people can eat enough.

Calculating the time, Cheng Shuiyao lifted the lid of the pot and shoveled the egg drop soup that was a little sunk.

The aroma of the eggs and the pepper flavor deliberately concocted by Cheng Shuiyao are completely different styles from the previous white porridge, but they are still extremely attractive.

With the experience of the previous few days, everyone had extremely high expectations for Cheng Shuiyao's cooking, and they gathered around her before she could cook it.

"Cheng Niangzi, what are you doing today?"

A smiling woman approached, curious to take a second look.

She also cooks on weekdays, but obviously they are all the same ingredients, so she can't make Cheng Shuiyao look like her.

"It's egg drop soup, I put a few kinds of greens in hot water, then cut them into shreds, and then sprinkle the egg wash and shredded greens into it."

Cheng Shuiyao lifted the lid of the pot very generously, and showed it to everyone as she spoke.

I saw the soup in the pot boiling, and the shredded greens were floating and sinking, colliding with the golden egg flowers from time to time, and a small bubble rose.

"By the way, I also used flour to thicken it slightly, so that the soup will be much thicker and won't taste clear and watery."

After looking at the doneness of the soup, Cheng Shuiyao took out a few sticks of firewood that had not been completely burned out and re-covered the pot.

"Simmer over low heat for a while, it will be more delicious."

I see.

Everyone finally understood the subtleties and was amazed by Cheng Shuiyao's craftsmanship.

"Cheng Niangzi, when you go back, can you open a restaurant in the local area? If you are a cook, we will all go to the scene to ensure that you make a lot of money. ”

I don't know who suddenly came to say, everyone suddenly came to their minds, and they all echoed.

As far as Cheng Shuiyao's craftsmanship is concerned, there are few opponents in the capital, let alone in a remote small county?

"Thank you, if I really do this food business, I will definitely invite you to come and taste it for free."

Cheng Shuiyao's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly spoke.

She hadn't envisaged what would happen after she reached the penal colony, but now they had given her a piece of advice.

With his own craftsmanship and the bonus of spiritual spring water, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to earn silver at all.

Cook?

Xiao Ji, who was not far away, looked at the lively atmosphere here, a little thoughtful.

After everyone finished eating, Cheng Shuiyao was completely idle and rested against a dead tree.

"Tired?"

Xiao Ji saw her tapping her shoulders and walked over slowly.

"Sort of."

Cheng Shuiyao didn't hold it up, she simply admitted it neatly, and then silently increased her strength.

Xiao Ji didn't speak, just sat silently behind her and gently rubbed her shoulders for her.

Feeling the obviously more powerful massage, Cheng Shuiyao did not refuse, and simply closed her eyes and enjoyed it.

"You say, you want to be a cook?"

After a while, Xiao Ji spoke in a muffled voice, his voice was very low, if it weren't for Cheng Shuiyao's good hearing, I was afraid that he would have to ignore the past.

"You're not happy?"

Cheng Shuiyao subconsciously asked, smiling self-deprecatingly in her heart.

Also, according to Xiao Ji's life experience, how could he allow his wife to go out and show his face.

"Master Cheng is an official in the court, no matter what, you are also the daughter of an official family, can you really stand to go around the stove?"

The voice gradually increased, and Xiao Ji's tone unconsciously brought a few explorations.

Since ancient times, high-ranking ladies have paid attention to the ten fingers not touching the spring water, and few people are willing to cook in person, let alone open a restaurant to be a cook.

"You mean this, do you think I don't want to?"

Cheng Shuiyao heard that Xiao Ji was worried that she was unwilling, so she quickly shook her head and turned to face Xiao Ji.

"As for me, it turned out that I had the title of a concubine, and I didn't have the life of a concubine, and later, I didn't even have the title of a concubine."

As she said this, Cheng Shuiyao's eyes dimmed a little and began to reminisce about the past.

The original owner was not favored at all, and he did not receive any talent training at all.

It's no exaggeration to say that she is no different from an orphan.

If it weren't for the marriage, she would inevitably be sent out by his father as a stepping stone to win over officials in the end.

So identity, for her, it is more important not to fill her stomach at all.
