Chapter Ninety-Eight: Stinky Porridge
As everyone knows, his gorgeous clothes and his graceful and dignified bearing have already aroused the sideways eyes and groundless speculation of many refugees.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was a commotion ahead, and the porridge shed opened.
Refugees lined up in an orderly manner to receive porridge.
Zhao Yan secretly observed in the rear, and saw that although the refugee team was large, there was no pushing, beating and scolding, Zhao Yan couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
An old man staggered past him after making porridge, probably too hungry, and drank the porridge as he walked.
There was an unpleasant smell wafting in the air, at first Zhao Yan thought it was the smell of the old man's body, but when he tasted it carefully, it was the rancid smell wafting from the old man's bowl.
"Old man, please stay." He stopped the old man with one hand.
The old man looked at him with a look of defensiveness on his face.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old man, I have no malicious intent, but can you let me take a look at your bowl of porridge." ”
The old man saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, and did not dare to excuse himself, although he was unwilling, he still conscientiously handed over the bowl in his hand to him.
The porridge is very thick, but the price of the ingredients is real and there is no cutting corners. But the sticky porridge had a strange dark green color, and when he sniffed closer, a foul smell rushed into his head, making him do evil.
"Old man, this porridge shed is this kind of porridge on weekdays?" He asked.
The old man did not doubt him, and nodded.
Hearing this, Zhao Yan's handsome face suddenly formed a layer of thousand-year-old ice. Seeing Meng Qi step forward, he unceremoniously approached the bowl to his nose.
Meng Qi hurriedly covered his nose: "What kind of thing, it's stinky and rancid, is this what people eat?" ”
Seeing Zhao Yan's stinky face, he quickly stopped his mouth.
Zhao Yan returned the bowl to the old man who was waiting on the side, and the old man took the bowl respectfully, as if he was afraid of grabbing it, so he quickly drank it again.
Zhao Yan looked around coldly, everyone was holding a stinky rice porridge in their hands, and he coldly ordered: "Meng Qi, go and ask what is going on with this porridge?" ”
Meng Qi also felt that the situation was serious, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurried away.
After a while, Meng Qi came back and replied: "Your Highness, we misunderstood. ”
Seeing that the solemn look on his face was no longer there, Zhao Yan asked, "Let's talk about it, what's going on." ”
"That's the case, in the first few days of opening the porridge shed, because there were many Huaicheng locals who were greedy and cheap, and in order to distinguish these people, Shen Dashan added stinky grass to the porridge, which smelled foul, but the more you ate it, the more fragrant it became. Moreover, it also has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, diluting water and reducing swelling. ”
When Zhao Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he had indeed misunderstood.
"Let's go to the porridge shed and see what is going on."
The two came to the porridge shed, and the person in charge of the porridge shed couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that the person who came was the king of Ling, and then invited the two into the back kitchen with trepidation.
After some inspection, there were indeed bundles of herbs stacked in the back kitchen, and I heard that they were transported from Heisedo.
I also checked the raw materials used to make porridge, and they were all high-quality rice.
Fearing that he would be suspicious, the person in charge took out a large bowl of porridge from the porridge pot distributed to the refugees and drank it in front of him.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan had nothing more to say.
He picked up the bowl and took a sip, the smell was indeed unbearable, but it was not unpleasant to drink, and it had a sweet aftertaste.
This is indeed the best way to deal with fraudulent claims.
"Who came up with this method?" He asked.
The person in charge replied tremblingly: "It's our shopkeeper Shen." ”
Hearing this, Meng Qi came up and mentioned in his ear: "It is the rich businessman who is known as Shen Dashan." ”
Zhao Yan nodded, and felt a little good in his heart for this Shen Dashan, who had never met before.
"What about you shopkeeper Shen? Isn't it here? ”
The debtor hurriedly replied: "Our shopkeeper is very busy on weekdays, but I came to see it once on the day I opened the porridge shed." ”
Zhao Yan nodded again: "Cheng, tell you the shopkeeper, I will meet him when I have the opportunity in the future." After that, he turned back to Meng Qi and explained: "Meng Qi, you have also seen that the next few relief stations we will add, the porridge in them will also be like this porridge shed, and this stinky grass will be added." ”
"Yes!" Meng Qi hurriedly took the order.
On the same day, Xu Weiqiu heard a report from his subordinates, saying that King Ling personally inspected the porridge shed opened by his family, and left a message that he would come to meet him if he had the opportunity.
When she heard this, she was immediately shocked, and she was going to be summoned by him, and no major incident could happen.
She hurriedly confessed, and once King Ling summoned her, she refused to meet her on the grounds that she was ill.
Just in case, she also ordered her subordinates to go to Pingshitang to find Zeng Fengyuan to open a medical report, adding an article to it, epidemics, repeated illnesses are not suitable to see people.
With it, it's foolproof......
Sure enough, as soon as the time came, someone from the Lingwang Mansion came to the business house to invite people, and this Zhao Yan was really a man of action.
She hurriedly asked someone to submit the medical certificate, which saved her a difficulty.
As soon as the people below invited the people from the Lingwang Mansion away, Xu Weiqiu didn't dare to stay in the business house for a long time, so he hurriedly changed his outfit and quietly returned to the palace.
I heard that on the day of her disappearance, someone had already accused her of the crime of not returning home at night in front of Prince Naling, and she couldn't sit down on this charge herself.
His residence is the same as always, and whether the Prince of Ling returns home or not doesn't seem to have much to do with him.
Xu Weiqiu, as usual, secretly went to Princess Sheng's residence to take a look at her son, and she was relieved to see that the child was safe and sound.
When I returned to my residence, I had dinner and bathed, and then I leaned on the bed and opened the book by candlelight.
This is her habit, she always has to read a book before going to bed, just like in the 21st century, she has to pull her phone before going to bed.
The night was very cold, she was covered with a thick brocade quilt, and she dozed off when she turned it over, and after yawning a few times in succession, she lay down in the bed.
There are still a few pages of the book in her hand, and she plans to go to sleep after reading it, but when she looks at it, she can't help but have a tryst with Zhou Gong's son.
Later, when Jin Nuo came in to add charcoal to the fire, he saw that she was sleeping deeply, so he quietly took away the book in her hand, tucked the quilt for her, and then went out.
In the middle of the night, Xu Weiqiu turned over, her hand touched a warm object, and then her hand was held.
This felt too wrong, she slowly opened her eyes with sleepiness, it was okay not to look at it, this look, scared a carp directly.
Seeing this, the man lying next to her turned his head to look at her, and said very naturally: "Madam, what's the matter, I woke you up?" ”
The lady's cry made her feel a stirring.
"Your Highness...... You, how did you sleep here? She felt like her tongue was knotted.
