Chapter 61 Egg Fried Rice
Five years ago, there was a locust plague in the south, and the affected area happened to be those four counties. When the locusts passed through, the rice fields were destroyed, the people had no harvest, and many people starved to death.
Two years earlier, the plague broke out in the same four counties, killing many people. Later, the Imperial Medical Bureau and famous doctors from all over the country worked hard to develop a prescription to cure the plague.
…
Luo Qinghan looked at the densely packed records in front of him with a frown on his face.
It seemed that every few years, those four counties would be struck by a disaster.
Because there was a period of time between the two incidents, and natural and man-made disasters occasionally occurred in other places, no one took these things seriously and thought they were just ordinary natural disasters.
But after Xiao Liangdi's suggestion, Luo Qinghan vaguely felt that there might really be something wrong with the feng shui of these four counties.
He never believed in these mysterious things before, but Xiao Liangdi repeatedly slapped him in the face with reality, forcing him to admit that there are indeed some things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense.
Luo Qinghan closed the file and had already made up his mind.
By the time he walked out of Minguang Palace, it had already turned dark.
At this time, Eunuch Chang stepped forward to greet him and said respectfully.
"Your Highness, Imperial Physician Duan has returned from the General's Mansion. He said that the General's wife and the General's fifth daughter are no longer in danger of death. They only need to rest for a while and they will recover."
Luo Qinghan responded calmly: "Yeah."
Eunuch Chang added, "General Zhongwu asked me to convey his gratitude to you. He said that the General's Mansion owes you two lives. If there is any need for him in the future, as long as you say a word, he will do it without hesitation, even if it means going through fire and water."
"Have their family members ever asked about Xiao Liangdi?"
Eunuch Chang shook his head: "Never mentioned it."
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything else and walked towards Qingge Palace. Eunuch Chang and a group of palace maids and eunuchs quickly followed.
As agreed, Xiao Xixi rolled up her sleeves and cooked fried rice herself.
The rice is what’s left over from lunch, and it tastes better when fried. The eggs are from the hens in the backyard, pure country eggs, and the yolks are particularly bright yellow.
She knew that the prince had a light taste, so she deliberately didn't put any chili in the egg fried rice she gave him.
In addition to fried rice with egg, she also smashed a cucumber, stir-fried some green vegetables, and cooked a pot of winter melon soup.
Her cooking skills are limited, and she can only make a few simple dishes.
Baoqin was helping out on the side.
She reminded carefully: "It's not good to give His Royal Highness such vegetarian dishes. You should at least prepare two meat dishes, right?"
Xiao Xixi spread her hands: "But I don't know how to do it."
Baoqin volunteered: "I can do it."
Xiao Xixi stepped down without hesitation and handed over the position of chef to her.
Baoqin skillfully prepared three of her signature dishes.
All the dishes were served on the table one by one.
Luo Qinghan first tasted the egg fried rice and found that it was just rice fried with eggs, nothing special.
He also tried the smashed cucumber and stir-fried vegetables, and they tasted okay.
He finished the egg fried rice in his bowl with an expressionless face, and also ate a lot of stir-fried vegetables and smashed cucumbers. At the end, he did not forget to drink a bowl of winter melon soup.
As for the three meat dishes, he hardly touched them.
In the end, all the meat and vegetables went into Xiao Xixi's stomach.
She ate with great satisfaction, and rubbed her belly and said with emotion: "Baoqin's cooking skills are really great!"
Luo Qinghan thought that if he got tired of delicacies from land and sea, it would be nice to have a home-cooked meal like this occasionally.
