Chapter 48
The greasy smoke floating in the air with some fine dust is annoying. Even though Shen Jiao can use spiritual power as a barrier to protect his body, he still doesn't like cooking.
The funny thing is that the things she made were actually quite delicious, which always made people think that she was very attentive.
In fact, it is just because Yao Nu is close to plants and trees, so he knows which vegetables are more delicious and which ones are not suitable to be put together.
I can’t even grow vegetables, but I can still feel this. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or bad luck!
Shen Jiao held a stalk of celery, as if hearing it shouting: "Cut me, cut me, or it will become old if you don't cut it. How about mixing it? The leaves are in good shape!"
"You must be kidding! You're the only useless old celery in the whole basket. Do I have to blanch you?"
Shen Jiao threw it aside angrily.
'Ah, I'm dead.'
Shen Jiao: ...
Shen Jiao took a deep breath and silently chanted: Concentrate and calm your mind, clear your mind of distractions. Vegetables! They can't make noises! If they do, they're demons! Is it possible for celery to become a demon? Absolutely not! Even if it were possible, it would have to be the most aged celery, the kind that won't cut with a knife or be chiseled with an axe.
This can’t be taken seriously, otherwise why would the vegetables I planted die?
"Stir-fried meat is better!"
Shen Jiao also loves to eat meat. As usual, he ignored the noise around him and, like other medicine slaves, he chose based on his feelings and prepared the meal quickly and efficiently.
Most of it was left for them to eat, and the remaining part was arranged beautifully and sent to Xue Shun.
A patient can't eat much.
Shen Jiao thought for a moment and took some more food from the plates, leaving only two or three mouthfuls on each plate, and then put a bowl of five-red porridge that had been simmered for a long time.
How can careful deception not be considered attentive?
What I arranged looks really nice!
The radish flowers on the edge of the plate said: "What use am I here for?"
Shen Jiao ignored him and picked up the tray, walking towards the main house. He called out, "Qiongzhi, the meal is ready. Please give some to Liangua, Yuge'er and the others, and the rest will be shared by the three of us."
"Okay." Qiongzhi responded happily.
Xue Shun in the room didn't even call out. He got up from the bed, walked to the table and sat down waiting for her to set the table.
"How do you feel now, sir?"
"It's still the same," Xue Shun said as he picked up the chopsticks and aligned them, "dizzy and anxious, but nothing else."
The chopsticks stopped at the radish flowers: "Is this food from the main kitchen?"
"It was done by the servant."
"This is also... carved by you?"
"yes."
"It took quite a bit of work, didn't it?"
"Do you like it, sir?"
Shen Jiao, who could carve out flowers in just a few breaths, accepted the potentially beneficial suggestion without a second thought. She stood by the table and asked with a charming smile, her bright black eyes fixed on him intently and intently.
Xue Shun met her gaze and became even more panicked. He quickly lowered his head again, moved his mouth, and mumbled, "Don't worry about me."
"This servant wants to make you happy, sir."
"I'm very happy."
Xue Shun gave a faint smile, unable to hide his bitterness.
Shen Jiao didn't bother to think about it, and lied as easily as breathing, "Then I'm willing to do anything. Sir, please eat quickly. I'll go see if the medicine on the stove is ready."
Xue Shun was stunned, staring blankly at her figure disappearing before his eyes, and he didn't even know when the word "Hmm" rolled out of his throat in response.
After coming to his senses, his face flushed again and he muttered, "Liar..."
Is it because you feel sorry for him?
Xue Shun put the radish flower into his mouth. It was quite crisp and made a crackling sound, which made people unable to concentrate on their sadness.
Shen Jiao didn't care whether he was in a good mood or not. She didn't even bother with the medicine jar. As soon as she returned to the kitchen, she picked up the bowl and ate a bowl of rice. The most important thing in the world was eating.
A jar of medicine was still clamoring: "Fire! It's so big! It really ruined us!"
That’s enough, he can’t taste it.
Shen Jiao sat there like a deaf person, digesting his food.
She arranged the celery into a V-shape in the bowl.
Qiongzhi seemed very curious about her every move and asked again: "What are you doing, sister?"
Add two celery sticks to the pepper, and the person becomes big, and poke upwards, and the bigness becomes fire.
She smiled and said, "Playing."
"Sister's happiness is so simple." Qiongzhi was puzzled, but the words sounded very nice.
Shen Jiao smiled at her and put the celery into her mouth one by one. They were almost done with their rest.
The three of them cleared the dishes.
When asked about the night watch, Jin Yu thought for a moment before saying, "We are short of manpower now, so it's inevitable that we will have to work harder. But we must put the master first. There must be people on night watch, and there must be someone accompanying the master at all times. We can't be as lax as we are today. If something goes wrong again, no one will benefit.
How about this? I'll talk to the young master and we won't let anyone out in the corridor. We'll just keep one person in the room. The three of us can take turns and rest for half a day. When Liangua and Yuge'er are better, we can rest for a whole day as before. What do you think?"
Shen Jiao and Qiong Zhi had no objection: "We are all sisters."
"That's fine," Jin Yu nodded and continued, "As for working during the day..."
She pondered for a moment and looked at Shen Jiao: "In the past, the young master had aversion to you, so we didn't dare let you get close to him. Unless the young master called you, otherwise we would take turns. But now it seems that the young master's mind has changed. You are a medicine slave who treats illnesses, and you still need to serve by his side all the time. The meals you cook are delicious. Why don't we leave all the matters of the young master's diet and medication to you? As for the rest, we will do it ourselves, and you don't have to interfere. How about this?"
Shen Jiao had already agreed to take care of Xue Shun, which made things a lot more convenient. Although there would inevitably be some extra work to do, it would only take three years, so it was worth it.
"No problem." Shen Jiao thought for a moment and agreed decisively.
Qiongzhi was very worried: "But!"
"But what?" Jin Yu asked in confusion.
"No, nothing," Qiongzhi stammered, "I just think the young master is moody, and it's not safe for Sister Shen Jiao to stay around him all the time."
What if he gets wild?
Qiongzhi thought about what she was afraid of, but couldn't say it out loud.
"That's true," Jin Yu said, not knowing what she was worried about. "But don't be afraid, we're all here. If they scold you, we'll just ignore you. If they punish you, we'll plead for you. The young master seems to have improved his temper in the past few months. He's even put away the cane. It should be fine."
Shen Jiao had inquired about this matter. Xue Shun didn't use the rattan very often. He was more of a gesture player and had a bad temper, so it was very scary. In fact, it was just like a beating from the master, either on the palm or the back. It hurt, but it didn't cause real injury. At most, it would leave a mark, which would heal soon.
She wasn't worried about that.
This is not what Qiongzhi is worried about.
"I know, the young master... isn't that fierce." Shen Jiao's face showed no trace of worry, which made Qiongzhi extremely anxious. As soon as Jin Yu left, she frowned and asked, "Sister, what should we do?"
She was really worried.
Shen Jiao caressed her head lovingly, as if she were petting a silly rabbit. "What's there to worry about? If something really happens, you'll know what to do."
Maybe she doesn't care now, but she will stab you with a knife later. Who knows?
She only knew that no one could hurt her easily unless she wanted to...
