Chapter 200
According to the information brought back by the Ghost Doctor, Bai Zhaoyan was not able to save Bai Xiang when she was poisoned.
Xiahou risked his life to bring her back to Tianshan from Chang'an, but what Renle had set her sights on could not be escaped. After they escaped, Renle asked the emperor for an imperial edict.
Her fiefdom was changed from guarding the Han Sea in Yongzhou to guarding Youzhou.
That's right, she used the word "guard".
Xiahou's resistance to her made her lose face, so this willful princess told the emperor that the Tianshan Sect occupied a part of Zhou Dynasty territory. Although they were just martial artists, they had the right to control Tianshan. She was worried that the Tianshan Sect would become too powerful.
The emperor has no sons, only one daughter, and naturally spoils her. So, with a wave of his hand, he approved her move to a new place.
"Oh, little one, speaking of Renle, do you remember him?"
Speaking of that princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could Fan Xiaoxiao not remember her? Back in Yongzhou, if it weren't for that General Yu, she would have been a dead man long ago!
When is she coming?
Fan Xiaoxiao's expression was not good. She remembered that the princess seemed to still be looking for a woman surnamed Fan. Although she now only allowed people to address her as Lady Xiao, and the princess had only seen her disguised appearance from afar.
But she had witnessed the woman's arrogance firsthand; that sense of utter depravity was something she would never forget.
"I don't know about that, but changing the location of a fiefdom isn't that simple, and the princess's residence here isn't even finished yet. Plus, Youzhou is cold, so it'll probably be next spring at the earliest."
Next spring, the drought will arrive just in time.
Fan Xiaoxiao didn't look too good; it seemed they were going to be very busy this winter.
"Forget about that. It's going to happen next spring anyway! Hey! Kid, what's the purpose of this house with the glazed tile roof? Why doesn't it have any windows? And what's that pebble-lined ditch around the outside for?"
The Ghost Doctor changed the subject, his attention completely drawn to the greenhouse. He opened the greenhouse door and went inside.
"Oh dear, this house is still empty inside, with only two doors? Tsk tsk, and the ground is loose too, why didn't they find something to weigh it down?"
Fan Xiaoxiao looked at the Ghost Doctor as if he were a new toy, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"You'll find out what this house is for tomorrow. Let's eat first; there's a lot more to do."
After saying this, Fan Xiaoxiao turned around, picked a handful of scallions from the backyard, and went into the kitchen.
The Ghost Doctor seemed to be full of curiosity about everything since his return. When he saw Fan Xiaoxiao leave, he immediately followed her, followed by Xiao Bao and Xiao Yu.
The Ghost Doctor returned in a hurry today, and Fan Xiaoxiao didn't have time to make any other delicious dishes.
The grain that Hu San and the others brought over a few days ago was quite good; today I can make some fried rice for everyone. Grain is very expensive in the Zhou Dynasty. She's been here for so long, and she's been eating nothing but flatbread, thin porridge, or noodles. It's been a long time since she's had a proper meal.
Speaking of which, she hasn't seasoned the wok since she got it last month. The main reason she hasn't seasoned it is that there's just too little oil in it. And she doesn't know how they raise pigs in Youzhou, because all the pork has a slightly fishy smell.
The pot was removed, and the rice was cooked in no time.
Taking advantage of a break, Fan Xiaoxiao went to the cellar and found a piece of wolf meat that they had dried on the way. She then used a wooden mallet to break it up little by little, and went to the stable to get the eggs that were already there.
The new pair of chickens seemed to get along well with Little Pockmarked Chicken; the chicken laid an egg every day. As for the eggs Little Pockmarked Chicken had laid before, she had examined them carefully and they should have been fertilized. Little Pockmarked Chicken would sit on them and incubate them every day, and anyone other than Little Treasure who got close to it would be pecked so badly they wouldn't recognize their parents.
"Auntie, what are you doing? Why are you taking the eggs?"
Xiao Bao watched Fan Xiaoxiao take eggs and then meat, and followed behind her with some curiosity.
The Ghost Doctor, walking behind, smacked his lips and said, "Kid, isn't it a bit monotonous with just porridge and eggs here? I want to eat fish!"
"Fish..."
Fan Xiaoxiao placed the eggs in the kitchen, glanced at the rice—it would be a long time before it was ready. Since she had nothing else to do, and after hearing the Ghost Doctor's words, she suddenly thought of grilled fish.
"Fish is good too, alright! We'll still be a while before we eat, and since Grandpa's back today, let's have a good meal. Let's go catch some fish!"
Without further ado, Fan Xiaoxiao told Aunt Wang and the others to watch the food on the stove, then picked up a net from the tool shed and headed out.
"Xiao girl, what are you doing?"
"Oh, Grandpa said he wants to eat fish, let's go out and catch some!"
I wonder what Master Lu was doing in the tool shed today; the blast furnace fire had been burning all day without going out. As Fan Xiaoxiao went out, she glanced up and saw the thing Xiao Hei and the others had brought that day on the long table in the middle of the tool shed.
Fan Xiaoxiao was curious about what was inside and was just about to go over to take a look when Xiao Bao and the Ghost Doctor outside the door started urging her incessantly, "Auntie! Are you done yet? Let's hurry up and go! It'll be dark soon!"
"Oh! Here it comes!"
Fan Xiaoxiao responded to the outside and hurriedly followed them out the door.
However, their luck seemed to be bad this time. After about half an hour, they didn't see a single fish, let alone any fish.
The doctor was so angry that he glared at the doctor and said that he would dig a pond in the front yard to raise fish so that they could have fish to eat anytime.
"Grandpa Fatty is right! We'll start digging tomorrow!" Fan Xiaoxiao looked at the old man and the child and shook her head helplessly.
When she got home, the rice was almost cooked. Because she was making fried rice, she deliberately cooked it a little firmer.
Heat oil in a wok, beat the eggs, and when the oil starts to smoke, slide the eggs into the wok. Then quickly pour in the rice; this is the key to whether the rice can be coated with the egg.
"Wow, it smells so good..." Xiao Bao and the Ghost Doctor were lying in the kitchen, the old man and the young man greedily inhaling the aroma wafting from inside.
"Xiao Bao! Go and tell everyone to wash their hands and eat!"
Without turning back, Fan Xiaoxiao poured all the wolf meat she had previously chopped into the pot. After adding some salt for seasoning and stir-frying it a few times, once the wolf meat was cooked, Fan Xiaoxiao quickly sprinkled a ring of chopped green onions on top.
"Time to eat!!"
As soon as the rice was served, the Ghost Doctor was the first to rush into the kitchen, unable to contain himself.
"Hey! My doll! Mine! My doll!"
Before he could finish speaking, a figure flashed past him, and the bowl in Fan Xiaoxiao's hand immediately disappeared.
"Old man! Are you eating alone?!"
Just then, Xiao Bao ran in. After seeing who it was, the little guy shouted happily.
"Brother Xiao Hei!"
