Chapter 223 It’s snowing!
Xiangying instructed Momoyuki to take out the three cooked ducks and use two small knives to cut the meat into plates.
He then put handfuls of fresh noodles into three large pots.
The pirates lined up in front of them, each holding a wooden bowl in their hands.
Xiangying asked them to polish it themselves during the day, and during the polishing process, he engraved his name on the bowl.
From now on, everyone will have a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and you will definitely have something to eat if you follow her.
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi served the cooked noodles into their bowls like the aunties in the cafeteria.
Each person gets a bowl of duck noodle soup, topped with duck meat and chopped green onions, and an extra boiled egg.
As for the pork belly skewers, only the children and Ren could eat them.
They were all growing, so Xiangying was extra generous to them.
If she wasn't afraid that others would suspect that she would never finish all the supplies, she would have taken out more ingredients.
I'll just have to make do with it for now.
I saw the children and Ah Ren sitting beside them, holding their bowls and slurping noodles.
Xiangying took a bite of the skewer and roughly estimated that he had to feed more than fifty people every day.
Most of them were pirates, and there were also some concubines, such as Yu Pin and others.
But it doesn't seem good for her to always give. She has to charge something in return, otherwise more and more people will rely on her for help.
Xiangying is ready to think of a good idea.
She walked towards Jie Chen's tent carrying a bag of braised pork buns.
When I quietly looked inside, I saw Jie Chen discussing matters with Skinny Monkey and the others.
When he suddenly saw Xiangying's eyebrows, Jie Chen stopped talking abruptly.
He raised his thin eyes and looked over, pretending to be indifferent: "What's wrong?"
Xiangying blinked and said, "I was afraid that you would forget to eat, so I brought food."
As she spoke, she took a bag of buns and placed it on his desk.
"You guys continue with your work, I'm leaving first." Xiangying waved his hand and trotted away.
The skinny monkey opened the bundle nearby and saw the full bag of soft, white buns, his mouth watering.
"Deputy General, your sister-in-law is so kind to you!"
Xie Chen glanced at him coldly and said, "If you shout again, I'll cut off your tongue."
The skinny monkey quickly covered his mouth.
Ever since Xiangying came back, Jie Chen no longer allowed them to make fun of their relationship, as if he was intentionally avoiding something.
Jie Chen looked at the bag of buns and suppressed the smile that was about to rise on his lips.
"You two should split it up."
"Deputy General, you don't want any?"
Xie Chen pursed his lips and said honestly: "Leave a few for me."
As for Xiangying, after delivering food to Jie Chen, she returned to the children.
But she saw the Sixth Prince and his men standing in front of Tao Xue, asking them to give the remaining food to him.
Xiang Qianqian stood beside the Sixth Prince, bossing Tao Xue around while she looked dissatisfied.
"Why are you glaring at me? Didn't you hear what His Highness said? Let us take the pot with us!"
Qi Fengyi said coldly: "Why should we give it to you? The pot is ours, and the food is ours too."
The guards around the Sixth Prince scolded: "How dare you! Your Highness is in a precious state. It is a blessing for you to eat a little of your food. How dare you ask?"
He stretched out his hand to grab it, but suddenly, a stone flew from the side and hit the back of the guard's hand.
The guard's face suddenly twisted in pain. He covered his hand and screamed, feeling that his entire arm had lost sensation.
The Sixth Prince looked back and saw Xiangying approaching, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Sixth Prince, do you always like to steal other people's things?" She asked in an unfriendly tone. Xiang Qianqian took a half step back and hid behind the Sixth Prince.
However, the Sixth Prince looked dignified and indifferent when facing Xiangying.
"The materials and food you looted from the bandits actually all came from the common people. Since they belong to the common people, they belong to me. How dare you go against my will?"
If it were someone else, they would have been scared to death after hearing such words.
But Xiangying laughed.
"I understand what your Highness said. The whole world belongs to the king. The people's things are also the emperor's things. Your Highness's attitude is even more superior than the emperor's."
The Sixth Prince's expression changed and he glanced at the soldiers around him, fearing that her nonsense would spread.
He has more than one political enemy, Jie Chen. The eldest prince and the second prince, which one of them is not eyeing him covetously?
Because he is deeply trusted by his father, they will never give up if they get a chance to slander him.
"Don't talk nonsense! This prince has never had the intention to replace my father, but it is my duty to provide these foods to the nobles of the royal family."
"What?" Xiangying scratched his ears. "Your Highness the Sixth Prince means that all the money that has been plundered from the people should be given to you for free?"
The more you talk, the darker it gets.
The Sixth Prince frowned: "Xiangying! Don't go too far."
Xiangying sneered: "The one who really went too far is Your Highness. I am not afraid to make my point clear today."
"I snatched these supplies back with my own ability. The deputy general said that I can distribute them at will. No one else has the right to ask me to hand them over."
"If anyone wants to rob me, I will not be polite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone in Xiangying's palm flew out like a hidden weapon.
It bounced directly on Xiang Qianqian's thigh.
She screamed and fell to the ground in pain.
The Sixth Prince's eyes widened: "Xiangying, you dare to do this in front of me?"
Xiangying smiled slightly: "Yeah, what's there to be afraid of? I'm a prisoner who's going to die anyway, who would be afraid of you?"
"However, I heard that the reason why His Highness the Sixth Prince followed the exile team was because he angered the Emperor by failing to take care of the granary."
"If the news gets out that Your Highness disrupted the order of the exile team for his own appetite, I wonder if the emperor will be even more disappointed in Your Highness?"
These few sentences seemed to have grasped the weak spot of the Sixth Prince.
He immediately stopped attacking, with only cold poison in his narrow eyes.
"Xiangying, don't be so arrogant, you will regret it one day!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and led his men away.
Xiang Qianqian got up, holding her thigh, and limped after him: "Your Highness, wait for me..."
Xiangying sneered and raised his voice to warn again.
"Xiang Qianqian! I can't deal with the Sixth Prince, but I can deal with you. If you make me unhappy again next time, I will be the first to take action against you!"
Xiang Qianqian trembled all over, and fled without even daring to look back.
The Sixth Prince always makes trouble for her, it would be strange if Xiang Qianqian wasn't there to whisper in her ear.
Xiangying turned around and told Taoxue and the others, "Don't be afraid, we will eat our own food, and we don't need to give it to anyone who comes."
"If anyone wants to steal supplies, don't ask me. Just stabilize the situation first."
With her words, the pirates felt relieved.
Just now they were afraid of getting into trouble, so none of them dared to move.
But it was such a cold day, and there was famine outside. If anyone tried to steal food, it would be a crime of murder and must not be forgiven!
Xie Chen and his team stayed here for half a day, and set off again early the next morning in the cold wind.
This time a strange thing happened, it snowed even though it was not even November yet!
