Chapter 27 Becoming Famous
There was nothing surprising about him anymore.
In other families, the older sisters take care of the younger sisters, but in the Shen family, the youngest girl runs around to guide the older sisters in making fire and cooking.
If it was someone else, Sheng Ze would still be surprised, but he heard and saw Shen Qingqian speak and act several times, and he had a hunch that this girl was different from other girls.
The medicine had been boiled. Because there was no bucket, Shen Qingqian could only collect the water bags of her family members and put the medicine in them, thinking that she would deliver the medicine to each cliff cave after everyone came back.
Since the stove was already lit, the family hadn't had a hot meal for several days. The food that Li Laosan had just distributed contained a small amount of rice and some sorghum. Shen Qingqian thought of cooking them together and also took the opportunity to let the sisters in the family learn how to cook rice.
Shen Qingqian raised her eyes inadvertently and happened to meet Sheng Ze's gaze. Only then did she remember that Cheng San was going to live with them.
Looking at Shengze and then at the rice that had just been put into the pot, Shen Qingqian reluctantly opened the rice bag and grabbed two handfuls of rice.
"Third sister, don't add firewood yet. I didn't put enough rice in. I need to pick some more and add some in." Shen Qingqian said to Shen Qingxiao behind the stove while she lowered her head and skillfully picked the old rice that was from an unknown year.
As exiles, they were lucky to have old rice to eat. However, old rice was mixed with some impurities such as rice bran and stones, so they had to be carefully selected before putting it into the pot.
When Sheng Ze heard her words, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
By the time Shen Qingqian finished cooking the porridge, it was already dark outside.
Ordinary people in this era only ate two meals a day. In the past, they would eat three meals when they were on the road because they needed to replenish their energy.
In today's situation, it is definitely impossible to eat three meals a day, so at noon everyone just ate a few bites of dry food and continued to work.
It was getting dark, and those who had gone out to look for firewood and food had returned one after another.
Shen Qingqian and her sister served the porridge and let it cool.
"Brother, take all these and share them with everyone." Shen Qingqian handed Shen Xiao a water bag.
Shen Xiao had just returned from outside. Upon hearing this, he quickly stood up and called Shen Jun and the others to go together.
When he was leaving, he ran into Shengze and Lingyun at the cave entrance. He paused and held out his hand to Shengze, "Chengsan, where are your water bags and bowls?"
Almost everyone in this exile team had a water bag, but the bowls were distributed by the bailiffs. Each person had one and was responsible for keeping it himself. If it was lost or broken, he would be held responsible.
Sheng Ze took off the water bag from his waist and handed it over. "Brother Shen, it's useful."
His water bag was empty, which made it convenient to use.
As Chen Xiao poured the potion into Sheng Ze's water bag, he said, "This is the medicine that Sixth Sister brewed to prevent colds. Everyone in our family has tried it and it's quite effective. You should drink some too."
As he spoke, he had already handed the water bag back to Sheng Ze.
Ling Yun quickly asked, "Does Miss Shen Liu know any medical skills?"
Shengze also wanted to know.
Shen Xiao smiled and shook his head, "I haven't learned any medical skills, but I know a few herbs and saw a few prescriptions in books."
He said this modestly, but Ling Yun clearly saw him straighten his body unconsciously.
"Sixth Miss is really intelligent." Ling Yun praised.
Shen Xiao smiled, asked them to go in and prepare to eat, and then went out to deliver the medicine.
Sheng Ze opened the water bag and sniffed it, raising his eyebrows. This medicine is indeed a good thing, but it was really made by the sixth girl of the Shen family.
Others did not have the same doubts as Sheng Ze. Not long after, the news spread among several cliff caves. Miss Shen Liu was such a good person that she even made medicine for them to prevent colds.
Moreover, many people stopped sneezing and having runny noses after drinking the medicine for a while, so everyone became more convinced of Shen Qingqian's medicine and praised her to the sky.
When Shen Yong came back, he was holding a bunch of little things in his arms. He said to Shen Qingqian happily, "Sixth sister, you're famous now. Everyone wants us to thank you!"
