Chapter 270: At the barbecue

Xiao Qianqian screamed in pain, tears accumulated in her eyes, she is the county lord, and she has someone to serve her in everything she does on weekdays, when did she suffer from this.

Xiao Qianqian whimpered and touched the position against the wall, she bent her legs and curled up against the wall.

Shen Ling returned to the room and pondered about the poisonous herbs, there are more and more people under her now, and when she needs to use Gu worms and various medicines in the future, it will also increase.

If she spends money to buy medicines, some ordinary and common medicinal materials are enough, but she needs to refine Gu worms, and the demand for medicinal materials is very high, especially rare medicinal materials.

After wandering around the room and thinking for a long time, Shen Ling found General Gu.

"Commander Gu, you have been in Xingzhou for a long time, I want to know if there are any mountains nearby that are more suitable for growing various medicinal herbs."

Chief Gu pondered for a moment and replied, "There is one opposite Xinglin Mountain, and I heard that the owner of the mountain has undergone a change in his family, and now he is selling the mountain."

Regarding General Gu's words, Shen Ling still believed it.

Although there was some estrangement between General Gu and Shen Ling before, after the last Xingzhou discussion, the problem between the two was completely resolved.

She instructed, "You go to Taojuan to get the money, take Luo Yuheng with you, go and buy that mountain, I will plant some flowers and plants on the mountain."

Commander Gu was a little surprised, "Didn't the county lord go to the mountain to investigate first?"

Shen Ling smiled at Commander Gu after hearing this, "***."

This moved General Leader Gu badly, and he became more and more determined to dedicate the rest of his life to Shen Ling.

"Don't worry, the county lord will definitely buy the mountain smoothly." When the words fell, Commander Gu retired and left to find Taojuan.

After General Gu left, Shen Ling was not idle.

The bright sunlight shines on the table through the window, shining the rice paper more purely, Shen Ling spread the rice paper on the table, and began to plan the names of the herbs that need to be planted.

Shen Ling wrote on the desk all morning, and it was not until noon that Taojuan came to ask Shen Ling to eat that Shen Ling stopped writing.

Putting away the written rice paper, Shen Ling asked, "How is Xiao Qianqian now?"

"It's still locked up in the firewood room, and I'm very energetic, and I'm either crying and crying to come out in the morning, or I'm banging on the door there and scolding the county lord."

Taojuan pursed her lips, and she had a headache when she thought of Xiao Qianqian's sharp and disturbing voice, "Do you need me to shut her up?"

Shen Ling shook her head, her face was light, and she didn't pay attention to Xiao Qianqian's little movement at all.

She said leisurely, "Let her be, when she is tired, she will not have the energy."

In the firewood room, Xiao Qianqian's throat hurt a little because of the constant scolding, she coughed twice lowly, and her stomach gurgled.

Xiao Qianqian leaned against the side of the chaimen, and called weakly, "Open the door, this county will mainly eat."

The people in the mansion were loyal to Shen Ling and obeyed Shen Ling's orders, so no one paid attention to Xiao Qianqian's request.

Xiao Qianqian could feel the attendants coming and going at the door from the light and footsteps that were blocked from time to time in the chaimen, but no one stayed in front of the chaimen.

The gurgling sound sounded from time to time in the firewood room, Xiao Qianqian was hungry with her stomach covered, but Shen Ling obviously didn't plan to give her food.

With resentment in her heart, Xiao Qianqian shouted outside with a hoarse voice: "If you don't eat, you won't eat, you will starve me to death if you have the ability!"

The guards guarding Xiao Qianqian outside the door truthfully told Xiao Qianqian's words to Shen Ling, and Shen Ling's face did not change and let people go down.

Time passed little by little, and the white daylight turned into silver moonlight.

At this moment, Xiao Qianqian's eyes were blackened by hunger, her head was dizzy, and there was a burning pain in her stomach.

Pampered and pampered, Xiao Qianqian, who has never felt the taste of starvation, was tortured by the feeling of hunger, and she always felt that she was going to die in the next second.

Xiao Qianqian is unwilling, she has not married Song Linyuan yet, and she must not die in this place! Since Shen Ling didn't give her food, she would find it herself

She got up and began to rummage, trying to find something to eat from the woodroom.

However, the firewood room was originally used to pile up dry firewood, straw and other sundries, and Xiao Qianqian couldn't find anything to eat even if she turned it upside down.

Xiao Qianqian couldn't stand it anymore when she was hungry, and looked at the ground in a daze.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had heard in the restaurant that in some places the people could not eat, so they could only feed their hunger with dirt.

At that time, Xiao Qianqian also laughed at that person, how can the soil be eaten, but now that she has fallen to this point, she understands a little.

Xiao Qianqian got up and reached out to dig towards the land, and the soil was dug out by her hand and held it in the palm of her hand.

Looking at this handful of dirt, Xiao Qianqian's eyes turned red, "Shen Ling! I'm not going to let you starve me!"

When the words fell, Xiao Qianqian directly stuffed the soil into her mouth, the fishy smell of the soil spread in Xiao Qianqian's mouth, and she didn't care about dislike, she swallowed the soil little by little with nausea.

On the second day, Xiao Qianqian also used this method to satisfy her hunger, but the soil was no better than food, and Xiao Qianqian finally fainted.

Taojuan came to bring water to Xiao Qianqian, and found Xiao Qianqian lying on the ground with her eyes closed.

She walked over and pushed Xiao Qianqian, seeing that no one reacted at all, she reached out again to test Xiao Qianqian's snort, and found that Xiao Qianqian just fainted.

Taojuan's expression did not change, and calmly closed the door of the firewood room again, and then went to Shen Ling.

"County Lord, County Lord Xiao is faint from hunger."

Shen Ling was waiting for this time, and she asked, "I remember that there is some dry firewood stacked at the door of the firewood room."

"There are some, but not many."

Shen Ling got up and walked out with a smile, and said as she walked, "It's almost time for dinner, let's go barbecue today."

Taojuan followed behind Shen Ling and watched Shen Ling put the grill in front of the firewood room.

All kinds of meat skewers processed by the kitchen were put on the grill by Shen Ling, and the skin of the meat skewers was roasted with oil, and the oil and water drips into the firewood and burst into a burst of fire.

Shen Ling was not in a hurry at all, so he moved a stool to sit in front of the grill, grilling the meat skewers slowly, and turning them in his hands from time to time.

"You can't rush this barbecue, you need to heat every side of the skewer evenly."

Taojuan sat on the side, learning to barbecue with Shen Ling, and it didn't take long for bursts of meat aroma to come.

Xiao Qianqian in the firewood room hadn't smelled the aroma of food for many days, and she was awakened by the smell of barbecue outside the door.

She swallowed, crawled to the door, and shouted out, "What are you doing?"

Hearing that there was movement in the firewood room, the corners of Shen Ling's mouth curled, and he replied leisurely, "Didn't you smell it? The lord of this county is barbecuing meat."
