Zheng Yeheng felt safe whenever he thought that Wang Yi was just a few steps away from him.
I tried to guess which footprints were hers, and even listened to the sound of her voice coming closer and farther away, which felt hypnotic.
I fell asleep almost instantly, which was more effective than any sleeping pill.
Wang Yi stood outside the door to make sure he was really asleep, and could only sigh.
What else can he do? He is the prince, can he drive people out by force?
"Forget it. Since you are all here, just stay and help. The market is over now, I'm going out to buy some fruits and vegetables, silly sister, come with me." Wang Yi thought that the fruits and vegetables in her space had never been seen by anyone, and even if they were cooked, they would not know what they were. This was a good opportunity.
Hong Jiu quickly came up and said, "Sister Yi, why don't I go? If you need any vegetables, I'll go get them from the vegetable farmers outside."
"Go and prepare some pigs and sheep for me. If anyone has a sick or dead cow, buy it too."
"good!"
"Lan Miao went to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for the City Lord's wife. Do you know what to say?"
"I know, don't worry, Auntie."
Wang Yi nodded. She had been to the City Lord's Mansion with him before, so this should be possible.
Silly Sister jumped onto the carriage, and Wang Yi got into the car.
"Auntie, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Caishikou in the north of the city first."
Caishikou was only three or four kilometers away from Wang Yi's residence. She had already taken a basket and put out a lot of vegetables.
There are tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, onions, spices and dried chilies.
Then I went to Caishikou and bought a rooster, eggs, some green leafy vegetables, rice, flour, grains, oil, and seasonings. I also stopped by the porcelain shop and bought a few sets of bowls and basins that caught my eye.
After buying all these, Silly Sister had no idea what was in the basket. She was just busy helping Wang Yi put it in the car. In less than half an hour, they were already rushing back.
The pots and stoves in the house were all ready for use. As soon as Wang Yi got home, she put on an apron and started preparing food.
Lan Miao came to help. As soon as she stepped into the kitchen, she was stunned to see baskets of fresh, red, green and juicy vegetables.
"Auntie, where did you get all these rare vegetables? These are rare goods from merchants in the Western Regions, right?"
"Yeah, I thought they were rare, so I bought them all."
Wang Yi just said it casually, not caring whether she believed it or not. Anyway, Silly Sister didn't know, so Lan Miao wouldn't care too much.
Hong Jiu also came back quickly, carrying a skinned sheep and cutting a few large pieces of pork.
Looking at the sheep, Wang Yi's eyes suddenly became bright.
"Hongjiu, help me bury the jar in the soil. Yes, right over there. Dig a hole and put the jar in."
There was a small plot of land behind the kitchen of this house, on which many kinds of fruit and vegetable seedlings were grown. The land was very small, only enough to store some firewood and grow a few vegetables.
Wang Yi didn't plan to grow vegetables here, so he instructed Hong Jiu to bury the vat, and then he began to quickly prepare the ingredients for pickling.
Fresh lamb does not require much preparation. Chop the onions and peppers, mash some fried bean flour, and then add a large amount of cumin and pepper powder mixed with sea salt and apply a thick layer on it.
After pickling, it is directly hung into a ceramic jar and covered with a stone slab.
Next, Hong Jiu was responsible for sitting next to the stone slab and watching the fire. It would take three hours to roast the sheep in the pit until they were cooked thoroughly.
Wang Yi and Lan Miao spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen.
Lan Miao helped to wash, pick and cut the vegetables, while Wang Yi was busy stewing the meat. The steaming hot air from the pots and pans, carrying the fragrance, lingered in the small courtyard.
The greedy silly sister stood outside the kitchen and drooled. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she took a bite of the meat she packed back at noon.
I kept saying to myself, “Enough, enough, I can hold on for a while,” and took another bite.
Before the meal started, Silly Sister pouted again. What's the matter? I'm not hungry anymore.
Seeing Hong Jiu exercising next to the earthen jar, Silly Sister ran over happily.
"Come on, practice!"
Hong Jiu: “Ah?”
"Practice! The branch is for you!"
The two of them jumped up and down with branches, making a clanging sound. Suddenly, the courtyard became lively. A few guards who thought it was not lively enough were booing Hong Jiu. Hong Jiu did not dare to hit Silly Sister for real. If he was not careful, Silly Sister would hit him again. He was hit twice, and he screamed in pain.
"Hahaha!"
Wang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Hong Jiu, who wanted to hit someone but didn't dare to. He felt amused and laughed like a silver bell.
…
Zheng Yeheng slowly woke up from his sleep, and his headache disappeared as his limbs regained consciousness.
There was a sound of laughter and fighting outside.
The sun was slanting, and outside the window there was a red cloud of setting sun.
It's eye-catching.
I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time. This time I felt like I was dead, and when I woke up it felt like I was in another world.
After a long while, he turned over and sat up, pulled his thin shirt together, and pushed open the door.
"Hong Jiu, you little bastard! I can hear you even in my sleep. Do you think you're dying?"
Before he could get up from his morning grumpiness, Zheng Yeheng had just finished shouting when he saw Wang Yi's smiling face change in an instant and she immediately put on a smile.
"Very good, young man. You need more sparring to grow stronger. Keep going! I have high hopes for you!"
Wang Yi rolled her eyes and said, "You're smart." She turned and walked towards the kitchen. The meat she stewed was almost ready.
Zheng Yeheng hesitated again and again, a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen...but Wang Yi is in the kitchen!
He quickly caught up with her, glanced sideways at the guards around him who were saluting him, coughed dryly, and said seriously, "Wait, I want to see what kind of food you are making and see if it suits my taste."
Hong Jiu, who was standing by, almost sprained his ankle.
Your Highness, your excuses are getting worse and worse.
There was a lot of noise inside the yard, but it was deserted outside.
The three refugees finished their work and it was time to leave the city. But they were reluctant to leave. They had looked around the houses nearby a few days ago and found that this house had always been empty.
Tonight, they wanted to climb over the wall and spend the night there, so that they could save the 10 copper coins per person for the city entrance fee tomorrow morning.
One of them held up his hands and feet, and the other one quickly pushed him up, and they climbed over the wall.
He sat on the wall and reached down, pulling the other two up one by one.
The three of them were about to land when they suddenly discovered that there was someone in the yard.
"Oh no! Go down quickly! When did someone start living in this yard?"
But before he could wait any longer, he saw a woman as strong as a man rushing out in a hurry. A dark shadow also ran in front of her. It had extraordinary martial arts skills and seemed not to dare to stop to avoid the attack of the strong woman.
"Stop it! Hongjiu, this isn't a competition!"
"I won't compete with you anymore. I don't hit women, but you keep hitting me. I won't stop! Catch me if you dare!"
The two men suddenly looked up and saw three refugees on the wall, and they stopped together.
The refugee who was about to jump suddenly had his eyes light up.
He carefully distinguished for a long time before confirming the face of the fat and strong figure, and shouted in surprise:
"Silly sister?"
