Chapter 54 Ginseng Chicken Soup



Grandma Ahua put a piece of thigh meat in Lin Yizhen's bowl and said, "Eat the meat, don't just gnaw on the bones."

"Yes! Thank you, grandma." Lin Yizhen said to Grandma Hua with a smile.

Ahuapo smiled without saying anything and began to eat with her head down.

Lin Yizhen also ate the rice in her bowl quickly. After she finished the food in her bowl, she put down her chopsticks and said to Grandma Ahua, "Grandma, take your time eating. I'm full."

As she said this, she put the bowl into the basin specially used for washing dishes.

It was still early, so Lin Yizhen waited for Ahua Po to finish eating and then washed the pots and dishes.

Then, he filled the water tank in the kitchen and tidied up the yard.

After eight o'clock, when Ahua Po went to bed, Lin Yizhen took a large bamboo basket from the kitchen and climbed over the wall to go out.

The reason why Lin Yizhen didn't open the door and go out directly was that she was afraid of what would happen after opening the door.

If someone comes in during this time and puts Ahua Po in danger, she will be guilty.

After climbing down from the wall, Lin Yizhen ran straight towards the cowshed.

Maybe it was night time and everyone in the village was asleep, so Lin Yizhen didn't meet anyone on the road.

The whole village was very quiet, not even the barking of a dog.

It takes Lin Yizhen about fifteen minutes to walk from Ahuapo's house to the cowshed.

Soon, Lin Yizhen arrived outside the cowshed.

At this time, the people in the cowshed had not gone to bed yet, but they had not turned on the lights either.

There were faint voices coming from inside, as well as the low sobbing of a woman.

Lin Yizhen listened carefully for a while and found out that there was a patient inside.

But they had no medicine, let alone food to nourish their bodies. They also had heavy work to do every day, and the patients were old.

If this goes on, this man will die in a few days.

These people used to be scholars who could not carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands.

Now trapped in such a place, Lin Yizhen felt sad.

I don't know what disease that person has. Is there any medicine to treat it in her imperial kitchen?

This, I’ll ask later!

After listening outside for a while, Lin Yizhen moved the two pots of chicken out of the space and placed them in the big bamboo basket.

Then, there was a knock on the bullpen door.

At this moment, Lin Yizhen heard the original voices inside suddenly stop.

Lin Yizhen knew that it was her knocking on the door that scared the person inside.

But she had no choice. If she didn't knock on the door, they would have no idea there was something outside.

After the voices inside stopped, a while passed.

Lin Yizhen then heard a male voice from inside asking, "Who? Who's outside?"

Lin Yizhen didn't say anything. She hid immediately after hearing footsteps inside.

Afraid that the person opening the door might kick over the bamboo basket on the ground, Lin Yizhen threw a small stone before hiding, directing the person opening the door to look down.

When the man heard the sound, he lowered his head.

Then he noticed the bamboo basket on the ground and looked around.

I didn't see anyone, so I picked up the basket and ran outside to look, but I still didn't see anyone.

Then he brought the bamboo basket containing chicken soup into the house.

When the people in the room saw him carrying such a big bamboo basket back, they looked at him curiously.

The man carrying the bamboo basket saw everyone looking at him. He smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me? I don't even know who put it here."

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the bamboo basket in his hand, but no one came forward to take a look.

However, people who are close can still smell the aroma of the chicken.

These vicious people all stared at the bamboo basket in front of them and kept swallowing their saliva.

It had been a long time since they had a decent meal, let alone meat.

But when they thought of their identities, they didn't dare to open the bamboo basket. God knows who sent this bamboo basket, what if there is something in it that shouldn't be there!

Although this world makes people feel despair, some people even commit suicide because they cannot accept it.

But there are also many people who believe that they will get through it.

Moreover, they are also worried about their own children.

They are suffering here, and their children are suffering elsewhere, and they still hope to meet their children one day!

Such an ordinary bamboo basket made the people in the cowshed think a lot.

After a long time, one of the old men with white hair and beard said, "Open it and take a look! Maybe that man has no ill intentions."

When others heard this, they looked at each other.

In the end, it was the man who came back with the basket who opened it.

When the bamboo basket was opened, the first thing that caught the eye was a piece of paper. When the person next to him saw the paper, he quickly went to light the oil lamp.

The man took the note and read it under the oil lamp. After he finished reading it.

The man said to another person in the room, "Brother Zheng, when you went up the mountain to collect firewood today, did someone throw two pheasants and a rabbit to you?"

The man called Brother Zheng was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "Yes, I thought the villagers found out that I had secretly gone to Fulong Mountain to chop firewood.

Frightened, he quickly carried the firewood he had chopped down the mountain."

"Brother Zheng, those prey were hunted and given to you by this kind villager.

When she saw that you didn't want to, she thought you were worried that cooking the meat would attract other villagers.

They brought the prey home, cooked it, and sent it to us, telling us to eat it without worry and to put the clay pot outside the house under the left window after we finished. ” The man shook the note in his hand and said.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, as long as they were not here to harm them.

They have been scared by those people in the past few years and they become extremely worried at the slightest sign of trouble.

This is also the reason why the man named Brother Zheng did not dare to accept the prey during the day.

I am afraid that those people will use this method to lure them, and then use it as an excuse to convict and torture them.

This kind of thing has happened before, so they have to be on guard.

Now, the person who brought them food had explained the reasons clearly, and they felt relieved.

Since there is nothing wrong with these things, let’s start eating!

They went to get bowls and served a bowl of chicken soup to the oldest man first.

Only after the soup was served did they realize that ginseng was put into the chicken soup.

Although the ginseng doesn't look big, it's only about ten to twenty years old at most.

But at this time, it is already very good to be able to drink ginseng chicken soup.

Not to mention those who live in the cowshed, even ordinary people outside, very few can drink ginseng chicken soup.

Everyone who saw the bowl of chicken soup was shocked and moved.

They all secretly swore in their hearts that they must repay their benefactors.

Although they don’t know who this benefactor is now, they will know one day.

Afterwards, the man who served the soup filled a few more bowls and had them delivered to the sick.

After that, there are those who are older and in good health.

Finally, it was the middle-aged people's turn, but there was no meat left, so they only got half a bowl of soup.

The few elderly people who got the chicken soup first felt bad and picked up their chopsticks to put the chicken into their bowls.
