Chapter 10 Preparing Dinner
Qiao Qiqi, who had walked into the woods, took the opportunity to get a live chicken from the supermarket.
She grabbed the chicken standing in the grass and a happy smile appeared on her face.
She could already sense someone following her.
But she didn't care.
With this chicken, there will be no problem making chicken soup in the evening.
Then she went to find some herbs for applying to the wound, as well as some wild vegetables and mushrooms, and went back.
"Oh my god! Miss Pei, where did you get such a fat pheasant?"
Among the prisoners, someone saw the fat chicken in Qiao Qiqi's hand and asked while swallowing his saliva.
"I found it in the bushes!"
Qiao Qiqi responded casually and placed the bundled fat chicken and wild vegetables next to Pei Shaoan and Pei Shaoming.
"Shao'an, Shaoming, these are our meals for dinner. Keep them safe. I'll be back soon."
She left a small half of the herbs in her hand and took the rest to the chief official.
"Sir, look, these are herbs that can be applied externally. Just crush them and apply them to the wounds of the two adults, then bandage them."
Qiao Qiqi handed the herbs in her hand to the chief officer and said.
"Yeah, I understand!"
The chief officer nodded, and his companion beside him quickly took over and did as she said.
Qiao Qiqi also returned to the location of the Pei family's main house.
She found a large, clean leaf and crushed the herb with a stone.
"Mom, please help my little sister apply it! This way her wound won't get infected!"
Qiao Qiqi handed the crushed herbs to Pei's mother.
Pei Shaoling watched Qiao Qiqi's actions quietly.
She doesn't seem to have any ill intentions?
From her clear eyes, Pei Shaoling could see that this woman was very simple and innocent.
If she had been replaced by someone, there would be no trace at all.
"Qiao Qiqi, what's going on with this fat chicken and wild vegetables?"
The second branch of the Pei family had been envious for a long time.
Seeing that she put the things in her own place, the chief officer had no objection.
The second aunt of the Pei family came forward and asked softly.
"Oh, I helped the grown-ups cook, and they allowed me to cook for myself. This is our dinner."
Qiao Qiqi didn't want to pay attention to the people from the second house, but she still answered.
"You started the fire yourself? This whole chicken is yours?"
Second Aunt Pei had a look of surprise on her face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
However, Qiao Qiqi ignored her. She was busy helping Pei's mother bandage Pei Shuer's wound.
However, what she didn't expect was that this chicken would cause quite a big incident.
The second aunt of the Pei family wanted to touch the fat chicken again, but she didn't dare to do it because of the protective expressions of the two Pei brothers.
She could only retreat to where the second and third branches of the Pei family were and whisper something to Old Lady Pei.
Qiao Qiqi raised her eyelids for a moment, then lowered her head to continue bandaging the little girl.
Soon, the officials who were sent hunting also returned.
This time, they brought back two wild rabbits and three pheasants, as well as a lot of wild vegetables and wild mushrooms.
After seeing that everyone was present, the chief officer called out to everyone to set off again.
Finally, when it was getting dark, they arrived at the abandoned temple he had mentioned.
Perhaps because no one has taken care of it, one of the walls of the dilapidated temple has collapsed.
The crowd entered the courtyard in front of the ruined temple through the collapsed wall and found that many refugees were already living there.
"Boss, what should we do?"
The second constable frowned and asked as he looked at the dilapidated temple filled with refugees.
"You, drive these refugees out!"
The chief officer thought for a moment and ordered his brothers to drive the people away.
"yes!"
Then several officers holding their swords shouted at the refugees to leave.
The people do not fight with the officials.
Even if the refugees arrived first, they had to leave under the escort of the officials.
The twenty or so refugees who followed Qiao Qiqi and the other exile team did not dare to enter the ruined temple, and only found a place under a big tree outside the temple.
After driving away the refugees, the escorting officers began to check the ruined temple to see if there were any suspicious people.
"Boss, there's a well in the backyard!"
The officer who was inspecting the backyard came to report.
"Well, let's cook in the backyard today! Miss Pei, cooking is up to you!"
The chief officer spoke loudly to Qiao Qiqi.
Qiao Qiqi nodded slightly, walked up to the officials, picked up the wild vegetables and mushrooms they had picked, and walked towards the backyard.
The other two officers followed, carrying large iron pots and mixed rice.
After setting up the pot, the two officers handed the killed rabbits and pheasants to Qiao Qiqi to deal with.
"Mrs. Pei, the rabbit and pheasant will be prepared for us officers. As for the prisoners, they will still have wild vegetable porridge."
The second constable came over and gave orders.
Qiao Qiqi understood instantly. She responded and skillfully boiled water and plucked the hair.
Fortunately, there was a lot of firewood stored in this dilapidated temple.
Qiao Qiqi moved some over and started cooking for the officials.
She decided to make a braised rabbit and a chicken stew with wild mushrooms.
"My Lords, could you please help me kill that fat chicken? I don't have a knife..."
Qiao Qiqi discussed with the two of them.
We also asked them to help butcher the rabbits and pheasants into pieces.
Thinking that I would need to slaughter some animals to make soup later, I asked them to help me.
"Okay, bring it here!"
Perhaps because he was looking forward to the delicious food cooked by Qiao Qiqi, the second official was quite easy to talk to.
Qiao Qiqi then went to the main hall of the dilapidated temple and brought over her fat chicken.
While they were slaughtering the fat chickens, Qiao Qiqi started making braised chicken nuggets.
Qiao Qiqi pretended to take out some unwrapped seasonings from her bag and placed them next to the pot. "My lords, here are the seasonings for cooking. Would you like to check them?"
There is always someone watching while cooking, so it would be better to just tell them that you have the seasonings.
Otherwise they would accidentally find out and think you had poisoned me.
When the time comes, I will give myself a knife and die in a miserable way.
The second constable turned around in surprise and asked, "You have any seasonings in your bag?"
How come you didn’t know this when you first checked?
"Sir, the seasoning was sewn into the sleeve pocket of my clothes. It must have been put there intentionally by my family, so you didn't notice it."
Seeing his suspicion, Qiao Qiqi quickly explained, "My family knows that I like to cook, so they brought some for me."
The second officer then checked the various powders wrapped in brown paper in Qiao Qiqi's hand.
Smelling those smells, they are indeed the smell of restaurant condiments.
He nodded, "Okay, then do it well!"
After preparing the seasonings, Qiao Qiqi began to skillfully prepare food for the officials.
Then, while they weren't paying attention, he quickly took out other bottled seasonings from the supermarket, poured them into the pot and put them back.
Soon, a pot of braised rabbit pieces and a pot of wild mushroom chicken soup were ready.
After Qiao Qiqi put them on two large plates, she skillfully began to make wild vegetable porridge for the prisoners.
