Chapter 172 Can you ask Sister-in-law Si to send two more plates?
The Ninth and Tenth Masters didn't grab the cucumbers, not because they didn't want to eat them, but because they were a bit too salty.
A plate of mapo tofu, which the two of them ate with rice, was quite strong in taste.
Add half a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork for each person, and that’s it, only vegetables can be seen in the bowl.
Sichuan cuisine with red oil and red sauce is best eaten with rice. It is not good to hold the bowl and eat it all the time.
Jiu Ye was sweating from the spicy food. He ate while holding the tea bowl and drinking water. Even so, he couldn't help but pick up the rice spoon to scoop up the rice.
This dish is so addictive and has a strong flavor that makes you reluctant to put down your chopsticks.
The Tenth Master looked at his Ninth Brother and couldn't help but push the bowl over to him: "Ninth Brother, give me some too. I can eat another big bowl."
Su Peisheng looked at the two gentlemen who were obviously eating very salty food, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to show.
The master had recently issued strict instructions not to waste food, limiting the daily meal to two dishes and one soup. The girl now delivered her usual meal.
The two masters ate up the only two main dishes on the table, leaving only a small plate of cucumbers and a bowl of vegetarian soup for the master.
Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment, glanced at his master who was not eating much, and suddenly poured a large bowl of soup and placed it in front of the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master's face was already livid, but he couldn't bring himself to compete with the two of them for food. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and ate the cucumber dish sporadically.
The cucumber salad was refreshing and delicious. The soup wasn't made with fish, but it was quite refreshing. It was just egg soup with a variety of vegetables added to it, and it warmed my stomach.
The Fourth Master drank two bowls of soup in a row, ate some cold cucumber salad, and also ate half a bowl of rice.
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master on the opposite side had already started staring at the Fourth Master.
Perhaps it was because the two of them had always been vying for meals since they were young, so whenever they were together, they would eat very quickly.
Take just now for example, not only did they each eat two full bowls of rice, but they also shared the small half plate of cucumbers that the Fourth Master had left.
There was a pot of soup, and the Fourth Master used two bowls and shared the rest with the other two.
There was nothing to eat on the table at this moment, leaving only a plate of dry snacks and some mixed cucumbers on the plate next to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master usually ate quite fast, but seeing the two of them staring at him eagerly, his movements became even slower and slower.
He ate the cucumber bite by bite, and even cleaned up the piece of fish-flavored pork shreds that Su Peisheng had picked up from the plate with his chopsticks.
Seeing the two people across from him leaning back in their chairs in a rather dejected manner, the Fourth Master put down his chopsticks with relief. He thought to himself that he could ask the little girl to make him another meal later. He felt that it was quite nice to have others watch him eat.
So what if he just wanted to eat one? His little girl could cook for him every day!
"Huh, the meals sent by Fourth Sister-in-law are still delicious. I always feel that the cucumber tofu he ordered to be made is delicious." Master Jiu leaned back in his chair and couldn't help smacking his lips again.
Upon hearing this, Master Shi nodded and said, "It's amazing! I've had meals like this before, and I don't know why, but I feel that the ones sent by Little Fourth Sister-in-law taste better."
Take cucumbers for example. The cucumbers sent to them by the masters must be more delicate than this. The skin of the cucumbers must be peeled cleanly so that they taste better.
But it is not as comfortable and refreshing as the cucumber of Sister-in-law Xiao Si.
When I think about it carefully, I feel like I can never eat enough of this cucumber.
The crispy fried chili oil mixed with the crispy and refreshing cucumber is slightly sour. I can’t wait to eat two more plates.
Tenth Master suddenly moved closer to Fourth Master and said, "Fourth Brother, could you please ask Little Fourth Sister-in-law to bring two more plates of cucumbers? I haven't had enough."
Jiu Ye also immediately agreed: "That's right, Fourth Brother, can you ask Little Fourth Sister-in-law to send two more plates?"
The Fourth Master glanced at the two of them and said, "...How many stomachs do you have?" Each of them ate two large bowls. No, they carried the bowl like a basin, and they were still able to eat it?
The Tenth Master simply said, "Fourth Brother, just treat it as a snack. What's so hard to eat? Besides, if you can't eat it now, you can eat it later. I'll go out and move around, and then I'll be able to eat it."
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment. Before he could say anything, he saw Buyan walk in with a serious expression.
"Master, something happened!"
The Fourth Master frowned slightly. "What's wrong? Is the illness getting worse?"
"Exactly. Yesterday, only those two people were feeling unwell, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea and lacking energy.
"The Liu family doctor has been watching them all night, and they've shown some improvement. But this afternoon, more than a dozen people have developed the same condition. The serious ones have already fainted, and judging by the elderly, I'm afraid they won't make it through the day."
The Fourth Master's face suddenly darkened: "Do the imperial doctors have any rules?"
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master beside him didn't even bother to eat, and immediately surrounded him: "So many doctors can't cure it?"
Bu Yan shook his head gravely: "The imperial doctors are all considering prescriptions, but they can't decide on the best treatment, and the results are minimal."
"Lead the way, I'll go take a look." The Fourth Master stood up and left.
Jiu Ye was startled and immediately stopped him: "Fourth Brother, what are you going to do? What if it really is an epidemic? Are you going to die?"
The Fourth Master patted the Ninth Master on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. I'll go take a look. I won't feel at ease if I don't take a look."
He turned back and told them, "Stay at the yamen and keep an eye on it."
Then he left the yard with a big horse and a golden sword.
Seeing this, Master Jiu knew that his fourth brother's stubbornness had returned and that he couldn't stop him! He gritted his teeth and followed him: "There's nothing to do at the government office, so come with me!"
The Tenth Master looked around and saw that his two brothers had left, so he immediately followed behind them.
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "Now is not the time to fool around. Go back!"
Jiu Ye stiffened his neck and said, "Anyway, if Fourth Brother goes, I'll follow him."
The Tenth Master nodded immediately: "If you all go, I won't stay behind."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly, but ultimately did not stop them and took the two of them with him.
As for Wenjiu, he waited for the Fourth Master to come back all night but failed.
The next morning, when he woke up, Wenjiu subconsciously touched his side and couldn't help but be stunned.
On weekdays, when Wen Jiu woke up, the Fourth Master would usually have gone out to do his work. But if he came back, the quilt would definitely cover Wen Jiu and the pillow would be placed beside the bed.
According to the Fourth Master, if she was so restless while sleeping, it was not impossible for her to roll off the bed, so it would be better to use a pillow to stop her from falling, so as to avoid her getting her clothes dirty and wasting the maid's time washing them for her.
