Chapter 151 Do you think giving birth is a joke?
Wen Jiu was a little confused, but the Fourth Master didn't explain too much, and just ordered, "Serve the meal."
Before the meal was served, Buyan came into the room and said, "Master, Liu Yu has spoken out."
The Fourth Master raised an eyebrow: "So fast?"
Bu Yan nodded: "The people are all here, he heard the news."
The Fourth Master had no time to eat and hurriedly stood up: "Eat your own meal and don't wait for me at night. Go to bed early."
Before Wen Jiu could even say a word, the Fourth Master disappeared.
When I went out, I vaguely heard Si Ye and Buyan mention something about the Governor of Shanxi, but I didn't hear it clearly.
Wenjiu was the only one left in the room, so he summoned Xiaojin out as well: "How's the progress of the mission to stop the Fourth Master from turning evil?"
Xiao Jin brought up the progress panel: "Look, the first part is halfway done."
Wenjiu couldn't help but look carefully and saw that the progress bar had reached 50%.
Wen Jiu couldn't help but blinking: "Why is this happening? Isn't the most important thing about this trip that the Fourth Master lost his food? Now that the food has been safely recovered, how could it be only half gone?" Could it be that even if the food hadn't been lost, would the Fourth Master still have to face such an embarrassing situation?
Xiao Jin also shook his head in confusion. "Master, it seems we still can't take it lightly."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door: "Miss, it's Su Peisheng, the servant, bringing you food."
"Come in."
Su Peisheng came into the room with a lunch box, his face full of smiles. His nose and ears were red from the cold, and there was frost on his eyelashes. Seeing the warm wine, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss, the kitchen has made some ginseng chicken soup today, just right to warm you up."
Wen Jiu couldn't help but wonder: "Is there any chicken in the kitchen now?"
They didn’t think chicken soup was rare in the past, but after traveling all these days, they had almost eaten all the meat they brought with them. Now that they entered Jinyang City, they couldn’t even eat chicken, so they were lucky to have a good meal of rice.
Earlier, the grocery store owner went out to buy some meat, but the only thing available on the market was bacon, and the price was more than a hundred times higher than usual.
The rice and flour were ridiculously expensive. Most of them were sold by merchants from other places who came to Jinyang with the intention of making a fortune from the national crisis.
Su Peisheng smiled and replied, "The guards went to the mountains to catch them today. The master specifically ordered that they give them to you, young lady, to try."
Eating chicken on a normal day is nothing new, but now you can drink chicken soup, which is really not easy.
It's just that Lord Beile hasn't had a good meal these past few days, but he did specifically instruct the girls to stay here.
Wen Jiu smiled and nodded: "I can't finish it by myself. I'll trouble you to run over and send some to the Fourth Master later."
Then she poured a bowl of hot tea and pushed it towards him: "Hurry up and drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. Why is it snowing outside again?"
After hearing this, Su Peisheng subconsciously brushed the snow off his shoulders and said, "Yes, it started snowing as soon as I said it. Fortunately, it's just a light snow."
Wen Jiu couldn't help but frown: "Jinyang just suffered a snowstorm, and now I'm afraid it can't withstand another heavy snowfall."
Su Peisheng couldn't help but sigh: "Miss, you're right. I thought this was a good job, but who knew it would be so bumpy along the way? I see that the master has lost some weight these days..."
As they spoke, they brought out the food and placed the warm wine on the table.
After finishing everything, he picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Jiu picked up a piece of snack at random and ate it bit by bit. "If there is another heavy snowfall, what do you think Jinyang will be like?"
When Su Peisheng heard this, his hands trembled: "Oh, it's already like this now. If there is another snowstorm, I'm afraid there will be nothing left to eat, even grass roots and tree bark."
Recalling the miserable look of the Fourth Master in his memory, Wen Jiu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Could it be possible that there will really be another heavy snowfall?
He only poured out half a bowl of chicken soup and put it in a clay pot, asking Su Peisheng to deliver it to the Fourth Master.
Wenjiu ate another bowl of hot noodles, then picked up the paper and pen, racking his brains to think of modern countermeasures to the snow disaster.
The core reason for the snowstorm is actually price gouging.
The money that the people have worked hard to earn for many years will suddenly increase in price when a disaster occurs. The merchants will make a lot of money, but the ordinary poor people will have no money to buy food after a few days.
But if he knew such a simple truth, how could Jinyang Prefecture Governor Liu Yu not know it? Would he just watch prices go up like this?
The Fourth Master entered Jinyang, but until now he has been unable to deal with the prices. Wenjiu was not a major in this field, so he was stuck for a while.
"Xiao Jin, do you have any ideas?"
"Master, this is easy. Can't I just find a book about coping with snowstorms and read it?"
Wenjiu's eyes lit up, and then he couldn't help but sighed a little decadently: "Tell me, how much love do you want this time?"
Xiao Jin poked his little hand: "Not many, not many, but only 50."
Wen Jiu couldn't help rolling his eyes. "I think you'd better take my life. I only have two days left. The Fourth Master used all his love to exchange for skills. Where is the love left?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin immediately shook his head: "Master, who said you don't have any hearts? Today, the Fourth Master gave you some more hearts. When you sprinkled the water on your delicate body, the Fourth Master gave you 5 hearts at once. Add to that the hearts you gained before, and you still have 7 Emperor Star hearts."
Wen Jiu slumped dejectedly on the table: "That's not enough. I was hoping to wait until I had 10 hearts, and then I could exchange them for a seed of the Flower of Rebirth. Now I only have two days left to live, and I feel uneasy."
Suddenly thinking of something, Wen Jiu stood up abruptly: "Doesn't that mean that if any woman gets within 50 centimeters of the Fourth Master, I'll be dead?"
Xiao Jin's expression was also a little stunned: "In principle, it's like this..."
Wen Jiu couldn't help rolling his eyes: "If I die, you will die too. Aren't you in a hurry?"
Xiao Jin said, "If there were other women around the Fourth Master, the system would issue a warning to prevent the Master from dying. Obviously, there isn't one yet."
Xiao Jin was feeling a little uneasy as he said this: "Master, why don't you stop studying the snowstorm and go look after the Fourth Master first? What if... I mean what if, what if he really dies?"
After hearing this, Wen Jiu spread his hands on the table again: "It is said that there are no other women around the Fourth Master, so let's take a break first."
Xiao Jin: “…” Who was the anxious person just now?
"Master, you can use your previous coaxing skills to earn 50 hearts. It's not a difficult task."
Wen Jiu waved his hands lazily: "I can't make any money. I'm exhausted."
Xiao Jin carefully looked Wen Jiu up and down for a long time, then suddenly jumped onto her lap and put her face against Wen Jiu's belly: "Master, are you pregnant?"
Wen Jiu was annoyed and slapped Xiao Jin off his legs: "Do you think giving birth is a joke? You can give birth just like that?"
When Wenjiu thought of a child coming out of her belly, she shuddered. It was a nightmare, absolutely a nightmare!
"Miss, your servant Su Peisheng requests an audience."
Wen Jiu was quite surprised when he let someone in: "You're back so soon?"
Su Peisheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, the master said the soup is very good, so don't worry about it and rest early."
