Chapter 362: A lot closer
Seeing that it was the princess who came in, Xiaoshan hurriedly sat up from the bed, but was stopped by Qin Chuchu when he was about to get off the bed.
"Don't move, just lie down!"
She came up to him and looked at him with concern.
"How do you feel? Do you feel better?"
Looking at Xiaoshan's face that looked like a skeleton, she smiled.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I always feel that this kid seems to have a little more flesh on his face.
"Slave, uh, I'm much better."
Seeing that he was still so reserved, Qin Chuchu spoke to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, this is your home from now on, and I am your family."
"Um."
Xiaoshan still stared at Qin Chuchu and squeezed out a weak word from his throat.
From yesterday until now, I still feel like I'm dreaming.
Even in his wildest dreams, he never imagined that this day would come true, let alone that the princess would speak to him so gently, recognize him as her younger brother, and take care of him in every possible way.
Qin Chuchu looked around the room again. No one else was there. They must have been busy with their own things.
"Xiaoshan, Lao Wu will be back in two days. I'll ask him to prescribe some medicine for you to replenish your body. When you're well again, you can travel around like them."
Although I gave him oral liquid, it was only a temporary solution and not a cure, not to mention that he was so weak.
I thought I should ask Lao Wu to prescribe some Chinese medicine for him so that he can recover faster.
It also saves him from staying alone in the tent. The environment is unfamiliar to him, and his health is not good. It would be terrible if he gets depressed.
Xiaoshan didn't know what Qin Chuchu was thinking. He was deeply moved by her caring words, but he didn't know how to respond. He could only look at her with gratitude.
Qin Chuchu stayed in the tent for a while. No matter what she said, Xiaoshan nodded obediently.
It was too boring to chat alone, so I got up and left.
"Okay, then you take a rest! I'll come see you again when I have time."
Just as she was about to leave after she finished speaking, Xiaoshan's weak voice came from behind her.
"sister!"
Xiaoshan mustered up the courage to shout out, perhaps because there was no one else here that gave him such courage.
But he regretted calling her "sister" after he did so. He thought that he was too greedy. With his lowly status, he actually expected to call the princess "sister".
But he just wanted to scream, and he didn't know why.
"Hmm?" Qin Chuchu turned around.
Seeing Xiaoshan staring at him nervously, he hesitated for a moment before he was sure that he was calling him.
"Oh! Shout again." She immediately grinned with joy.
Seeing that the princess was not angry but was smiling, Xiaoshan felt relieved and looked at her sincerely.
"Thank you, sister."
My eyes became wet after I shouted. It feels so good to have the care of my loved ones. If it was a dream, it would be best not to wake up.
Seeing that the boy was so excited, Qin Chuchu was afraid that it would affect his health, so she hurried over and rubbed his head.
"Don't cry, I'll protect you from now on, and you won't be bullied by others anymore!"
After saying that, my nose actually felt a little sore.
"Yeah." Xiaoshan nodded, and his tears could no longer be stopped.
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
How come this is so ridiculous?
He quickly took out a pack of tissues from his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"You're weak, so don't get too excited. Take good care of yourself. When you're better, I'll take you out to play, okay?"
"Yeah." Xiaoshan nodded again.
Fearing that he would be lonely staying alone, Qin Chuchu ran to the tent again and took two large bags of snacks from the space and sent them to him.
"This bag is for you, and this bag is for Little Stone. Tell him when he comes back."
Since I have two younger brothers, I should treat them equally, otherwise I will be accused of being biased.
Looking at the food in front of me that I have never eaten before, although I don’t know what it tastes like, it looks delicious.
"Yeah." He nodded again, but this time his voice was much louder.
After the chat just now, especially after calling her sister, I no longer felt so unfamiliar with the princess in front of me, but instead felt quite close to her.
Seeing that Xiaoshan was no longer so afraid of her, Qin Chuchu was very happy. She sat down and chatted with him for a while, teaching him how to eat these things.
When I walked out of the tent, I was so happy that I basically jumped back.
He himself didn't know why he was so happy. Anyway, when he saw Xiaoshan happy, he was happy too and no longer felt guilty.
As soon as I returned to the tent, I saw Huo Yanwang and the others still discussing something.
When they saw the princess come in, everyone stood up to greet her.
"princess."
"Um."
Qin Chuchu agreed and ran to sit down in front of the man.
"How did the discussion go?"
Han Muchen stretched out his long arms and naturally held her in his arms.
"The matter of subsidizing the people's food has been decided. Now it depends on Chuchu."
"Look at me?" Qin Chuchu looked up at the handsome face in front of her in confusion, obviously not understanding what he meant.
The man was not in a hurry. He looked at the porcelain-white face in front of him and raised the corners of his lips.
"As long as Chuchu's recipe is in place, the hot pot restaurant can be opened, and this king can go to the people to exchange for side dishes."
While speaking, he pinched her nose uncontrollably. His silly woman was so cute, so rare.
“…………”Everyone.
Everyone resisted the urge to roll their eyes and twisted their necks.
There are so many people watching, and the prince doesn't even bother to be discreet. He's almost choked to death by the dog food.
Qin Chuchu didn't notice the looks of others. After hearing what the man said, she sat up straight.
"My recipe is fine. As long as the shop over there is renovated, the hot pot restaurant can open immediately."
"Don't you need to prepare any ingredients?"
The man looked at her with a frown. This was not the first or second time he had eaten hot pot.
With so many things, it will probably take some time to prepare.
"No need!" Qin Chuchu waved her hand.
"I still have some hot pot base in my warehouse, which can last for a while. I can make more when the time comes. I can exchange the vegetables for food with the people.
As for other side dishes, you can just buy them locally; it doesn’t have to be a comprehensive shop.”
Although the more side dishes there are in the hot pot, the better the taste, it also depends on the local conditions.
Especially in this extremely poor dynasty, having vegetables and meat slices was enough. As for other side dishes, it depended on the local living standards.
Things like dried tofu and dried wild vegetables are not rare and should not be difficult to buy.
After hearing Qin Chuchu's words, the man's eyes lit up.
"Okay, then let's try to open the hot pot restaurant in the next two days."
"These two days?" Qin Chuchu looked at the man.
His face was full of expression saying how could this be possible? After all, the hot pot restaurant needed to be renovated, how could it be opened in two days?
Seeing the confusion in her heart, the man patiently explained.
"My beloved concubine, you may not know that many of my shops in various places were originally restaurants. Some are still in business, but their performance is not good.
Even if they are not open for business, they can simply clean up and reopen.”
When Qin Chuchu heard this, she immediately grinned.
"real!"
