Chapter 123 Birthday Cake
However, before long, the entire team's carriages were unable to move forward, especially the carriage escorted by Xu Tian and other yamen runners.
These carriages were used to transport food for all the prisoners, so it was impossible to abandon them. Otherwise, these prisoners would starve to death within a few days.
“Push together!”
Xu Tian called on everyone to push the carriage together, but many prisoners did not want to help and asked why.
As a result, Xu Tian retorted, "These are all foods for you to eat. If you don't want to eat them, then don't touch them."
The prisoners did not expect Xu Tian's attitude to change so much. They did not dare to gamble for a moment and came over to help push the carriage.
Xu Tian felt helpless when he saw this scene. He didn't want to appear ferocious, but some people are like this. If you are not fierce, they will think you are easy to bully and will go against you.
Of course, he still treated other prisoners in the same way as before, with many attitudes. He would only act "unkind" towards some prisoners who liked to find fault.
"I'll count to one, two, three, and push hard together!"
Following Xu Tian's voice, everyone worked together and finally pushed the carriage out, but after just one step, the carriage sank into the snow.
The newly fallen snow was too soft, so people would sink into it, let alone a carriage.
"continue!"
Everyone had no choice but to continue pushing, but the snow was too deep. It took four or five people a lot of effort to push it less than one meter.
thump!
At this time, one man wanted to be lazy, so he pushed gently, but the others pushed hard. When the carriage moved, the man's hand lost its leverage and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, it was snowy and the man was not injured, but he was still very angry and started complaining.
"How long will it take to push this carriage? We haven't eaten enough to begin with, so how can we have the energy to push the carriage?"
As soon as these words were spoken, others immediately echoed them.
"That's right, that's right."
Obviously, they don't want to do hard labor because it's too tiring.
"Yes, Captain, the snow is too deep. The horses are sinking and can't move at all."
The other yamen runners also spoke up, "This is not the way to go!"
"Then do you have any other good ideas?"
Xu Tian asked back, however, everyone fell silent.
"How about we take all the supplies out of the carriage and have each person carry a portion. This way we can reduce the weight and maybe we can move on..."
One of the yamen runners had just finished speaking when he was interrupted by other yamen runners, "How can we get so many things?"
"Let the prisoner take it!"
"Stupid, what if they hide or eat the food?"
"So what do you say we should do?"
The yamen runners were talking at once, but it was obvious that they had no good solution.
"It's getting late. Let's rest for the night and leave early tomorrow morning. Let's think about other options tonight."
Xu Tian spoke and wanted to turn around and look for Master Chen, but when he thought about the fact that he was now Master Chen's disciple, how could he possibly go to Master Chen for everything? Would that be worthy of Master Chen's teachings?
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to give up looking for Lord Chen's help and find a solution on his own.
"Their carriage is also in trouble." Chen Xue and their carriage was right in front of the yamen runners' carriages, so they could see what was happening behind.
"In that case, it would be impossible for our carriage to be stored in the space."
Lord Chen frowned. If it was only their carriage, they could pretend to walk at the back and then put the carriage away.
Finally, they told Xu Tian that the carriage was lost, and Xu Tian might be able to free up another carriage for them.
But now, Xu Tian and his companions’ carriage could not move. If their carriage disappeared, Xu Tian might ask them for help if he knew.
I can help with other things, but I can't help with this one.
night.
Chen Xue's family still eats fried meat, fried meat with chili peppers, braised pork, and all kinds of other dishes.
Although Chen Xue's cooking skills are not very good, with Xiaodie's guidance, she can cook this dish with Xiaodie's skills to make it look good, fragrant and delicious.
"Luckily, Xiaodie is here, otherwise we would all be hungry."
Chen Xue looked at Xiaodie gratefully, then picked up a large piece of braised pork for Xiaodie and said, "This is a reward for you."
"Thank you, girl!"
Xiaodie quickly stood up and bowed to express her gratitude.
"I already told you not to bow." Chen Xue quickly pulled Xiaodie to sit down. "We're not related at all. There's no need to be so polite."
"That's right." Mother Chen also spoke, "We are no longer the same as before, so there is no distinction between master and mistress now. We are all family, so there is no need to be so polite."
Xiaodie was immediately moved and almost knelt down, but was stopped by Chen Xue.
"Okay, okay, if you want to thank us, make us some more delicious food."
"By the way, speaking of delicious food." Chen Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Xiao Die, can you bake a cake? Let's bake a cake together!"
"cake"
"Girl, what's cake?"
"Cake is... well, it's a kind of bread! By the way, Xiaodie, when is your birthday?"
"Birthday"
"It's my birthday!"
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, thinking for a long time, even counting on her fingers, "It seems like the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow." Chen Xue was stunned. She didn't expect it to be so soon, but fortunately she didn't miss it. "How about we hold a birthday party for you?"
"I'll make you a birthday cake!"
Chen Xue's thoughts are still modern, so she treats Xiaodie more equally.
Therefore, holding a birthday party for Xiaodie is also to treat her as a friend, not as a maid.
"Girl, there's no need to do this!"
Xiaodie was a little flattered and waved her hands quickly, "How could Xiaodie be so worthy..."
Chen Xue didn't say anything else, but looked at her parents. Mother Chen smiled and said, "Since Xiaoxue said so, let's do it!"
"I have no objection." Lord Chen shrugged. Even if he had an objection, his opinion was generally not important in such a small matter.
"Look, my parents are fine." Chen Xue said happily. Seeing Xiaodie kept making excuses, she pretended to be angry and said, "If you still think of me as your girl, you'll be obedient."
Xiaodie didn't dare to refute.
"After that, I'll make the cake, and Xiaodie, you can just watch and learn how to do it!"
"Young lady, you have to do it yourself," Xiaodie said quickly, "Young lady, please let me do it. This kind of trivial matter doesn't require you to step in."
"It's okay. This is a gift I gave you, so I made it myself."
"Of course, I will prepare another surprise. After all, birthday cake is just a necessity."
"Xiaoxue never made me a cake on my birthday." Lord Chen, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt a little unhappy.
"You." Mother Chen pinched him, "How can you be jealous of even a maid?"
"Dad, didn't I just learn this?" Chen Xue said helplessly, but she was complaining in her heart, I just traveled through time and my previous life could only make a ghost cake.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'll make you a cake on your birthday too."
"That's more like it."
