Chapter 65 Something happened! Something happened!
Xiangying looked back and felt that Jie Chen was a little different today.
I've never seen him wear new clothes.
Although the outfit today is also black, the fabric is obviously newer than before.
He walked up to Xiangying, and a fresh soapberry scent wafted from his body.
Xie Chen said in a cold tone: "Who told you to run around? Why come down here instead of staying up there?"
Xiangying came back to his senses and picked up the fishing net in his hand: "If you don't want this, give it to me."
The skinny monkey reminded him, "Take it, but it's broken, how can you use it?"
"Haven't you heard of it? It will take another three years to mend it." After saying that, Xiangying left with the fishing net.
Jie Chen stared at her back.
Didn't she notice that he had washed it clean?
The skinny monkey rubbed his hands and laughed: "Military Supervisor, do you have any other instructions when you come down?"
Xie Chen said coldly: "Pack up quickly, don't let me rush you again."
He left again.
Skinny Monkey feels that it is becoming increasingly difficult to guess what the military supervisor is thinking.
There were several large wooden boxes at the bottom of the cabin, which gave off a rotten smell due to age.
The skinny monkey was too lazy to make room, so he just waved his hand and said, "Bring those prisoners down and let them sleep here."
After a while, more than twenty prisoners were brought down.
The skinny monkey had the windows sealed so he was not afraid that they would escape with the water.
Just then, Scarface led Concubine Liu over.
"Skinny monkey, can you fit one more person in here?"
The skinny monkey turned his head and saw Concubine Liu standing behind Scarface, pulling his sleeve with a cautious look in her eyes.
"Of course I can," the skinny monkey said with a smile, "Scar Master, are you willing to lock my mother up here?"
Scarface's face darkened: "Fuck you, it's fine if others tease you like this, but if you say that too, be careful or I'll cut you!"
"This old lady is so annoying. She follows me everywhere. She even stood by my bed when I was sleeping last night."
"I have to go on patrol now. If I take her with me, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by the military supervisor. I'll lock her up with you first."
As he said this, he pushed Concubine Liu into the lower compartment.
Concubine Liu got up uneasily: "Doudou'er, don't leave."
Her skinny hands tightly grasped Scarface's arm.
Scarface didn't want to push her again and make her stagger.
So he tried to lie to her patiently: "Wait here, I'll go find something to eat and I'll be back soon."
Concubine Liu's eyes were filled with anxiety: "Will you really come back?"
"Of course, wasn't I with you the whole time yesterday?"
After getting his promise, Concubine Liu slowly let go of her hand.
"It's wet outside, you have to be careful." She had a weathered face and deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
When he was not sick, his tone of voice was very calm and he did not sound like a mentally ill person.
Scarface waved his hand perfunctorily, quickly closed the door of the cabin, and asked Skinny Monkey to lock it with an iron chain from the outside.
Only after getting rid of Concubine Liu did he feel relieved.
The skinny monkey asked, "You really don't care?"
"It's none of my business, why should I care about her? I've done my best!" Their voices gradually faded away.
After they left, Concubine Liu originally sat down by the door so that her son Doudou could see her first when he came back.
But suddenly, a squeaking sound was heard in the cabin.
Several huge black rats crawled out from the cracks in the box.
The prisoners were so scared that they screamed.
These people used to be nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they found rats even filthy.
A group of people were stamping and stomping on the ground, and someone shouted.
It feels like being bitten by a rat.
But no one took it seriously.
Concubine Liu huddled at the door, holding her head in fear.
"Dou Dou'er, Dou Dou'er, come back soon." She muttered to herself.
At the same time, Xiangying stood at the bow and pretended to cast a net.
After a while, she pulled the fishing net up, and it was full of clams and river shrimps that she had put in.
"Yuan Xiao, quickly bring the basin!"
Xiangying walked into the house carrying a half-full basin of lively river shrimps, stunning Taoxue and the others.
"Princess, were these caught from the river?"
"Of course. There were a few small fish fry originally, but I released them. These are enough for us to eat. We are not greedy. This will make the river god happy and give us fish every day."
When the three little ones heard this, Xiang Xiuxiu immediately put her hands together, ran to the door, bent her small body and bowed.
"Thank you, Grandpa River God, for blessing us with enough fish and shrimp to eat every day." Her childish voice made Xiangying laugh.
Xiang Yuanlang tugged on her skirt: "You might as well beg me."
Xiang Xiuxiu waved her hand and said, "No, I'll listen to my mother."
Xiangying asked Qi Fengyi and Taoxue to clean the clams.
When these clams were taken out of the space, Xiangying soaked them in clean water and salt water, and they spit out a lot of sand.
Simply wash it twice and you can eat it.
Then Xiangying took the pot out of the water and added a small piece of lard.
Add the scallion segments and stir-fry, then add the cleaned river shrimp.
A sizzling sound came along with a fragrant smell.
"It smells so good!" Xiang Yuanxiao and his younger brothers and sisters squatted beside the small pot with their eyes wide open.
Xiangying first made a plate of stir-fried river shrimps and asked Taoxue and the others to share with the children.
He also divided it into two portions and prepared to send them to Xiangli.
Afterwards, Xiangying used the pot to make clam soup, and the milky white soup was bubbling.
The children each had a bowl in their hands and drank while watching Xiangying put the kneaded dough in.
The soup, which was only made with salt and pepper, was so delicious.
Even in summer, the children were sweating while eating, but they were very happy.
Xiangying's house looks like a mobile stall.
The Seventh Princess and Concubine Yu both came and asked for a bowl of clam noodle soup.
Lin Lingxiang took another half pot and shared it with Xiangli and Old Man Lin.
Xiangying was not stingy and stewed another pot after everyone was full.
She and Qi Fengyi carried it to the cabin where the soldiers were having their meals.
At this moment everyone was eating steamed buns and pickles.
Suddenly they smelled a fragrant scent and looked up.
Fang Gan was also among them.
Xiangying poured the whole pot of clam soup into their pot.
He said to the stunned cook, "The fishing net was given to me by the skinny captain. I used it to catch a lot of clams."
"To thank him, consider this meal as my treat."
After she finished speaking, the soldiers who were sitting and eating did not dare to move.
Their eyes were all directed towards the most senior officer here, General Ke.
Xie Chen and General Wei were not there, and were waiting for him to speak.
However, General Ke put down his chopsticks, looked at Xiangying coldly, and strode away.
Xiangying ignored him and just looked at everyone: "It's up to you whether you want to eat or not."
She walked away holding her pot.
Fang Gan took the lead and rushed forward: "Give me a bowl."
He didn't know yet that the eldest princess could cook?
After taking a bowl of delicious soup, Fang Gan opened his eyes wide.
It smells so good!
Seeing that someone had tested the poison first, the others came forward with their bowls to drink the soup.
The soldiers who tasted the clam soup all thought that Xiangying's cooking skills were excellent.
For two consecutive days, whenever Xiangying made fish soup or crab porridge, he would share a pot with the soldiers.
There was no other reason, she was just paving the way for herself.
Subduing the pirates is to demonstrate one's ability, but winning their hearts is equally important.
In order to take a leading position in the exile team, Xiangying used all his patience.
Unexpected things happen. Starting in the evening of that day, the gloomy sky began to thunder and lightning.
After a while, the heavy rain came as expected.
The dangerous river has an uneven terrain and turbulent undercurrents.
Now that it is a thunderstorm, the boat is shaking even more violently.
Xiangying was sleeping with her children in her arms when she heard the hurried footsteps of soldiers outside.
The scout's voice followed immediately: "Go tell the three supervisors, the second ship has hit a reef, and water is starting to fill the bottom of the cabin!"
I seem to have made some progress recently, because I haven't been caught with typos in several chapters in a row... I need to keep working on it...
