Chapter 93: The concept of family for the first time
After eating five mochi breads, Fu Mo finally remembered that the main ingredient for making mochi bread is cassava.
It's a poisonous cassava.
It’s the cassava that killed so many people!
Although he believed in the princess.
But he ate five at once, five whole ones.
If there is even a little bit left, it would be enough for him to drink a pot if he eats so much.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if he's really poisoned.
Fu Mo's stomach was bloated, painful and uncomfortable.
Fu Mo's face turned pale as he rubbed his stomach: "Princess, I feel a little uncomfortable."
"My stomach hurts and I feel like vomiting."
“Is this cassava really non-toxic?”
"I won't die if I eat so much, right?"
Xie Yingmian's face was filled with black lines.
The mochi bread is not big, but not small either.
I ate five in one go and drank a large glass of water. It would be strange if my stomach felt comfortable.
Her expression was expressionless but with a hint of disgust: "You're too full. Go out for a run or two to help digest the food and then go to the bathroom and you'll be fine."
Except for the taste of taro paste, which Yu Lingye doesn't like.
She wrapped the remaining four flavors in oil paper, wrote down the flavors on a small note, and prepared to send them to Yu Lingye.
Fu Mo saw Xie Yingmian carrying mochi bread and walking towards Yu Lingye's room. Regardless of his stomach discomfort, he hurriedly stopped her.
"Princess, please wait a moment."
"Excuse me, is this for the prince?"
Xie Yingmian nodded.
The ingredients and stove were all bought with Hua Yu Lingye's money.
She gave the food to Yu Lingye first, which was considered a courtesy.
Fu Mo asked, "Can you wait for an hour?"
"If I don't die, can you serve it to His Majesty?"
Xie Yingmian knew that Fu Mo was worried.
This cassava is just common wild cassava.
It is not the sweet cassava that has been improved countless times and is slightly toxic or even non-toxic in later generations.
This wild cassava is highly poisonous.
If not handled properly, it can easily poison people.
Yu Lingye is a prince after all, so it is normal for Fu Mo to be cautious.
"Okay, then wait for an hour."
Just at this time, Imperial Physician Cui came to Danyue Courtyard and wanted to see Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian welcomed Doctor Cui in: "Brother, come in quickly."
"You came just in time. The mochi bread I made just came out of the oven. Come and try it."
Doctor Cui was flattered.
He likes the red bean paste flavor.
After tasting it carefully, I was speechless for a long time.
Xie Yingmian looked at Doctor Cui and asked, "Brother, do you dislike this kind of food?"
Doctor Cui shook his head.
"No, I love it."
"I really like this chewy texture. I just feel nostalgic."
"Junior sister, did you do all this?"
Xie Yingmian said: "Yes, I did it."
Doctor Cui had tears in his eyes: "You have suffered."
Xie Yingmian didn't understand.
She didn't suffer at all, she enjoyed replicating these delicacies.
Doctor Cui finished the whole mochi bread before wiping away his tears: "I'm sorry, Junior Sister, I really can't praise you enough."
"When I think about you being thrown to the farm by the Xie family and ignored, and the daughter of a wealthy family who should have been free from housework having to cook for herself, I feel sad."
"How much hardship did you endure, how many times did you cook, and how long did you practice to be able to make something so delicious?"
"Why didn't I meet you earlier? If I had met you earlier, you would have had the Cui family's protection and wouldn't have suffered so much."
After Doctor Cui finished speaking, he felt that it was too hypocritical to say this and was afraid that Xie Yingmian would dislike his insincerity.
He explained in a panic: "Junior Sister, I said these words sincerely, not sentimentally at all. I couldn't help but speak out my true feelings. I..."
Xie Yingmian was slightly startled.
She successfully replicated several things.
Everyone who has eaten her food praises her cooking skills and the deliciousness of her food.
Only Doctor Cui cared about how much suffering she had endured.
This moment.
Xie Yingmian felt like something warm was stuffed into her heart.
At the beginning.
She really just wanted to take advantage of this old man.
By some coincidence, she became the disciple of a master named Moxuyou. After the two became senior and junior brothers and sisters, she didn't feel anything. She felt that they were just a little more familiar and closer.
Doctor Cui's words broke the self-protection barrier that Xie Yingmian had built.
For the first time, she had the concept of "family".
It's not a bad feeling to be truly cared about by others.
"Brother, I know you are sincere." Xie Yingmian's smile became more genuine.
"The past is the past, and people should look forward."
"Besides, I haven't practiced a lot. I guess I have some culinary talent, and I can do anything. You may not believe this, but this is my first time making mochi bread."
“Except for the first pot which collapsed a little, the rest were successful at once.”
Doctor Cui felt that Xie Yingmian was comforting him.
Xie Yingmian was too lazy to explain: "Brother, you rushed here in such a hurry, is there something urgent?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, there is good news." Doctor Cui quickly adjusted his mood.
"Last time you asked me to keep an eye out for any suitable shops in Hedu District, so I sent someone to find out."
"A friend of mine happens to know of an inn for sale."
"The owner of that inn is involved in a murder case. The man has been arrested and is in jail. I heard that the evidence is conclusive and he will be executed soon."
"Because of this murder lawsuit, the inn has almost lost all its business. The owner owes a lot of money, and the youngest son is seriously ill and in urgent need of money, so he closed the inn."
"I went to take a look. The location is perfect. The inn is spacious, especially the courtyard. There's a lot of room for renovation. The only problem is that the owner is asking a bit high a price."
"Junior Sister, if you are free, come with me to take a look?"
"As for the price, from what my friend said, we should be able to negotiate it."
Xie Yingmian didn't expect to see results so soon.
Mrs. Fang's 60,000 taels had been delivered, and Yu Lingye gave it all to her.
She now has a huge amount of money and can afford a higher price.
"Okay." Xie Yingmian packed up immediately and said, "Let's go take a look."
After Fu Mo knew that Xie Yingmian was going to Hedu District, he sent a low-key and luxurious carriage.
Xie Yingmian was a little excited as it was her first time going out after traveling through time.
She specifically took the banknotes and brought the maids with her.
Wen Ge actively refused because he was deaf and dumb, and he was very socially anxious and didn't want to see people.
Wen Juexia actually wanted to go with him.
However, although she woke up, the aftereffects of using Feiyingxue at full strength were still there. She felt weak all over and had difficulty moving, so she had to stay at home.
Xie Yingmian took two maids, Yumao and Zhuyue, and left with Doctor Cui in high spirits.
An hour passed quickly.
Fu Mo went to the toilet, digested the food, and felt better in his stomach.
He was alive and well, nothing was wrong with him.
Now, he finally believed that cassava was indeed edible after processing.
Not only is it edible, it also tastes great and gives you a strong sense of fullness.
Fu Mo ran to the study immediately.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Mochi bread is ready."
"I ate five whole pieces and waited for an hour, but there was no abnormal reaction at all."
"I can prove that the princess has truly removed the toxicity of the cassava."
