Chapter 96 White Porridge
Yan Xuehuai didn't think too much because she fell asleep as she thought about it.
Li Shiji is still busy. Lu Ying'er can already cook some simple dishes on the stove. Although Xin Xiang can't cook, he can chop firewood and burn fire. Overall, although the business is better than before, Li Qiniang is much more relaxed.
After seeing off the last table of guests, Li Qiniang pretended to be the midnight snack she brought to her baby's daughter, and then told Xiang Bo a few more words, then took Lu Ying'er and prepared to go back.
As soon as the two of them walked to the door, the door was pushed open from outside, and it was Fusheng who came.
Fusheng hasn't appeared for three or four days. When he saw him, Li Qiniang smiled: "Why did you come here so late today?"
Li Qiniang didn't think much about it. Duke Ding was very busy. Maybe he felt hungry after being busy at this time, so he was busy and bought midnight snacks for his fat son.
"Sorry, boss lady, is there any porridge in the shop? It's the kind of porridge I used to last time."
Li Qiniang has a good memory. Although Fusheng is a regular customer of Li Shiji, she buys porridge very few times. The one she remembers most clearly was that Duke Ding Guo was uncomfortable. Fusheng came to buy the patient's meal. She gave Fusheng the porridge she cooked for her daughter, the pot and the porridge she had.
"The prince is sick again?"
As soon as he said that, Li Qiniang knew that she shouldn't ask.
She opened the food box in her hand and looked at it, and said to Fusheng: "Wait a moment."
The porridge should be cooked slowly on low heat, and it is not something you can do by making it. Fortunately, the late-night snack she brought to Yan Xuehuai tonight was also porridge.
Xin Xiang opened the fire, and Lu Ying'er quickly put the leftover buns in the daytime back onto the trunk.
Li Qiniang patted half a cucumber, mixed it, put it into a small bowl, cut her pickled radish into thin strips, put it into the food box, took out the four original small sauces in the food box, put the reheated buns in, and put a few more braised eggs.
She said to Fusheng: "The buns are for you, and there are only these left. If you don't have enough food, just eat braised eggs."
It was not until then that Li Qiniang went to see Fusheng carefully. She hadn't seen her for a few days. Fusheng seemed to have lost weight and had two dark circles. She seemed to have not had a good sleep at first glance.
Li Qiniang sighed and knew that she was inconvenient to ask more questions, so she said to Fusheng: "While it's still hot, you can go back quickly."
After thanking Fu Sheng, he turned around and came out of Li Shiji.
The sound of horse hooves came from outside the door. Lu Ying'er poked her head out and looked at it. When she came back, she said to Li Qiniang: "Fusheng came on horseback, and I don't know if the porridge will splash."
It is very close to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, so there is no need to ride a horse. It seems that Fusheng must have come from the Duke's Office.
Li Qiniang was not wrong, Fu Sheng quickly returned to the Duke's Mansion.
He carried the food box and ran all the way to Qi Wei's bedroom. Qi Wei lay flat on the bed, his face pale.
When he saw Fusheng, Xu Jiangsheng asked, "You didn't let it go, did you?"
Fusheng ignored him, opened the food box, and placed the porridge and two side dishes on the small table beside the bed.
Bai Kang came over immediately, took out the silver needles placed on the small table, tested the three foods one by one, nodded at Fusheng, and signaled that he could feed Qi Wei to eat.
Fusheng helped Qi Wei sit up, put a pillow behind him, Qi Wei looked at the food placed aside, and his eyes fell on the casserole.
It was the casserole I saw last time, but there was a small hat made of rags on the lid, which I thought was used to prevent scalding.
It was the first time Qi Wei saw this kind of thing. When Fusheng picked up the lid of the casserole, he whispered: "Be careful, don't get dirty."
Fusheng obviously misunderstood and said, "Don't worry, this porridge was taken from Li Shiji. I was careful along the way and it didn't get dirty."
The porridge was a little hot, so Qimei ate very slowly. In three days, this was his first meal.
Porridge is the simplest crushed rice porridge, fragrant, soft, thin and moderate, and melts in the mouth. The aroma of rice fills the entire mouth, the stomach and intestines are soft and comfortable, and the crispy and tender cucumbers and sweet and sour shredded radish. If the doctor had not advised him not to eat too much, he would even want to eat all of these.
Although I didn't eat much, Qi Wei's pale face finally turned bloody.
He said to Fusheng: "Go and bring the military newspapers for the past few days."
"Dude, Doctor Chen said, you need to rest more." Fusheng stood still.
"Obe obedient, go and get it," Qi Wei smiled, "I'm fine, the King of Hell refuses to accept me."
Fusheng flattened his mouth and refused to cry. He turned around and went to the study room. After a moment, he brought back a lot of military newspapers and the remarks from the Ministry of War.
When I walked to the door, I happened to run into Wei Mingzheng who was also rushing over.
"You're back so soon?" Fusheng asked.
Wei Mingzheng ignored him for the first time and strode in.
"Mr., we are one step late. The Tao family is all dead, with twelve young and old, and no one living person is left."
Qi Wei sighed: "Tell the people of Lu Heying about this and let them know what it is like to be silenced."
He looked at Xu Jiangsheng again: "Where is Hao Chong?"
"It's closed. Without your instructions, I will not dare to let him out." Xu Jiangsheng said.
"Well, tell him that I'm fine and send him a few books." Qi Wei said.
Fusheng put down the military newspaper, picked up one of them, comforted Qi and said, "Don't waste your eyes, I'll read it to you."
Qi Wei nodded and said to Bai Kang and Xu Jiangsheng: "You have been waiting for a day, go and rest."
He said to Wei Mingzheng again: "You go too."
The three of them retreated and went outside, but did not return to their house, but sat down in the pavilion not far away.
Xu Jiangsheng couldn't help but cursed: "Stop talking about Hao Chong, now I want to kill those gangsters."
Three days ago, Qi Wei returned to the capital from Luhe Camp and fell directly when he was dismounting in front of the Duke's Mansion.
He was poisoned!
Along the way, Qi Wei only drank water once, and it was in the water bag he carried with him.
A thin needle was inserted into the water capsule, and the poison entered the water through the needle.
When they passed by a small office called Zhujiayi, their party had stopped, eating the dry food they brought with them and drinking the water they brought with them, but the grass they ate was from the office.
After leaving Zhujiayi, Qi Wei only drank water once along the way, which was tied to the water bag on the saddle.
A thin needle was inserted into the water capsule, and the poison entered the water through the needle.
Tao Qing was the horseman of Zhujiayi, and he was the only outsider who had approached Qi Wei's war horses.
Wei Mingzheng rushed to Zhujiayi overnight. Tao Qing was already dead. Although the postmaster was brought back, he knew nothing. Fortunately, he knew that Tao Qing had family.
