"What's wrong? Is the tea so unpalatable?" Shu'er slowly put down a cup of tea. Gu Yunru quickly rinsed her mouth. She had never tasted such unpalatable stewed red dates and peas in her life.
"What did aunt do wrong? You can just tell me directly. Why do you have to torture me like this?" Gu Yunru looked at Shu'er with a helpless look. The pot of red dates and peas turned into charcoal.
"Ah... my soup. I worked so hard to prepare these seasonings, and I also memorized all the steps in the recipe. I also cooked it for more than half an hour. Why did it turn out like this?" Shu'er scratched her head, racking her brains but couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Xue'er, who was standing beside him, saw the problem at a glance.
"Did you make the fire bigger?"
"Ah... it seems so. I ruined a good dish of red dates and peas like this." Shu'er patted her head with tears in her eyes. Could it be that she was really stupid? Such a simple dish of red dates and peas was ruined.
"This dish of red dates and peas needs to be simmered on low heat for about half an hour. It can replenish qi and blood, beautify the skin, and relieve dull complexion. It doesn't seem to be suitable for your husband." Gu Yunru could tell at a glance that this was obviously Shu'er's selfish motive. She wanted to beautify her skin, so she cooked this dish of red dates and peas.
"Yeah... Aunt, if you knew, you shouldn't expose me so directly." Shu'er looked down sadly, and Gu Yunru shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
When I came to Ji Heng's room, I found that he could already walk, and the sores on his face had disappeared. It seemed that he had been recuperating well these days.
"princess……"
"I've told you not to call me princess, call me aunt." Gu Yunru looked at Ji Heng, who was still polite and had not made any progress.
"Yes...Aunt." Ji Heng was also very embarrassed. He and Gu Yunru were not much different in age, but she had to call him Aunt.
Xue'er no longer had any objection to the identities of these people, so she was not surprised when she heard Ji Heng call her princess.
"By the way... has my uncle found out the identity of that group of people?" Ji Heng couldn't sleep all night, thinking about this matter. This incident brought unimaginable disaster to Qizhou City. Gu Yunru pursed her lips and shook her head helplessly.
"We haven't discovered the identity of that group of people yet, but I don't think they will give up. As for the poisoner, I have already started making an antidote." Gu Yunru told Ji Heng about the new progress in order to put his mind at ease.
At this moment, Shu'er brought a bowl of stewed peas with red dates and placed it on the table, "I just cooked this, husband, please try it and see how it tastes." Gu Yunru and Xue'er looked at each other. It seemed that Shu'er was not going to let Ji go today. Ji Heng's life was really miserable. He had just started to get better, but he was abused by her like this.
Watching Ji Heng drink the bowl of red dates and peas, I felt my stomach churning. For some reason, the pea soup smelled like the stinky ditch in the river...
"Xue'er, I suddenly realized that there are still some things to be done in the restaurant. Let's go back quickly." Gu Yunru just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Xue'er also realized it later and slowly followed her away.
"That's great. We finally escaped from that place of trouble!" Gu Yunru breathed heavily. Looking at Xue'er's unnatural look, he rubbed her arm curiously.
"What's wrong? Xue'er was just on her way here. Aren't you excited?"
"Nothing, I just thought of those uncles and elders..."
"So that's how it is." Gu Yunru nodded. When she returned to Huajianlou, she saw a figure sneaking around in the kitchen, as if eating something secretly. She walked up to him quietly, just to scare her, but unexpectedly, the bridesmaid turned around with grease in her mouth.
She quickly wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.
"Xiniang, what were you doing just now?" Gu Yunru raised his eyebrows and looked at Xinniang's sneaky figure. He thought it was a thief who came in just to steal a few bites of food from the kitchen. He didn't expect it was Xinniang.
"Nothing...nothing..." Xi Niang wiped the corner of her mouth with a guilty conscience. Based on Gu Yunru's professional psychological expressions, she knew that Xi Niang must be hiding something from her. Xue'er's nose was particularly sensitive, and she soon smelled the smell of chicken. "I seem to smell the smell of chicken soup and pork. Xi Niang, it turns out that you eat so well every day."
Xue'er was simple-minded and didn't think of anything else. Gu Yunru walked to the back and opened the plate to find that it was filled with pork bones, chicken bones and the like, and the soup was almost finished.
These past few days, I always found Xiniang secretly making these things in the kitchen. I turned around curiously and said, "Xiniang, do you know that this kind of chicken soup is suitable for people with qi and blood deficiency or blood deficiency caused by long-term illness. It is a medicinal soup specially given to patients. Why did you suddenly think of eating this medicinal soup?"
The bridesmaid frowned awkwardly, not knowing what lie to make up. Her eyes rolled and she quickly thought of a reason, "It's like this, recently Ma Zi said that I look pale, mentally exhausted, and weak in the waist and knees.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
So I made some pork and chicken soup and mixed them together to try it. I didn’t expect it to be beneficial! ”
"Really? But I never taught Mazi how to make medicinal soup. And you seem to sneak into the kitchen every night. I thought there was a mouse in the kitchen, but I didn't expect it to be you, Xiniang!"
The bridesmaid didn't know what to say at this time. The employer's eyes were always open, and she was afraid that the symptoms such as loss of appetite and weakness in the limbs could not be hidden from her, so she simply expressed her wish.
"Boss, I won't hide it from you. Ma Zi and I have always wanted to have a child. Seeing Ya Ya made me even more eager. I just want to have a child. No matter how unpleasant others say, I have to give it a try. So every night I would take out the soup and medicine bag and boil it into a medicinal soup to drink."
"Xi Niang, why are you so confused? How can you drink this medicinal soup every day? I know, it must be Xiangping who taught you to do this, right?"
Gu Yunru immediately thought of Xiangping. It was she who suggested combining kindness with food ingredients. Unexpectedly, Xiangping told this method to Xiniang in a blink of an eye. Xiniang was so old. In ancient times, women of such age were absolutely not allowed to give birth to children, because at that time it was equivalent to walking through the gates of hell.
