This time, other than food, there were many jars in the cave. Yun Er opened one of them and his eyes lit up. "Master, it’s wine! Heh, it’s quite strong."
The others were all happy, but Rong Yan took another deep look at the lighter on the waist of the Yuan Family member guarding the cave.
"This culinary skill is amazing! Who made it?"
"When you watched her, did you see her leave other than cooking?"
Gongsun Zhongjing was not the only one. The other doctors were also so tired that their limbs were weak. At night, when the cold air appeared, they felt that their lungs were freezing with every breath they took. Seeing that he was eating well and even planned to add rice, everyone was no longer in a daze and ate happily.
It was true that one could not get anything when the strong alcohol was torched.
No matter how delicious the food was, it was tasteless when it was cold. Everyone basically just stuffed a few mouthfuls into their stomachs.
Although the Crown Prince did not say anything, he thought so too.
Sigh, none of them knew how to cook, so their requirements were not high. It was fine as long as they could eat, even if it was just a mouthful of cold rice. They were afraid that they would not be able to hold on... Eh? What smell was so fragrant?
As they did not have much hope for this meal, they were not very enthusiastic about setting the table. Hence, when the people who went to get the food came back with two big pots, some of them were not ready.
Xiaoxiao had the space alarm. As long as someone appeared within 23 meters of her, they would not be able to hide. Hence, this self-righteous guy was already visible under her nose. However, it was really annoying to be followed like this. Hence, after hearing Rong Yan say that the "Yuan Family" had sent a lot of wine and ingredients over at noon today, Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and decided to make a griddle tonight to reward the doctors and make this follower salivate.
That made sense. She had already made it and they had eaten it. Why was he thinking so much? He could not waste the lady’s good intentions, right? Burp~
The Crown Prince was a cautious person. Even if he could not verify Xiaoxiao’s relationship with Rong Yan now, he was still unwilling to miss the opportunity. "Continue to keep an eye on him. As long as we find evidence of Rong Yan using his position for personal gain, we won’t give him a chance to explain!"
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Xiaoxiao quickly used the space to return to her residence in the quarantine courtyard. When she was about to reach the door, she seemed to see a sneaky figure outside the house.
Shao Lin spat. "I heard that she’s only in charge of cooking for the Third Prince. It seems that she’s just a plaything."
"Hehe, Miss, this meal came at the right time. It’s as if you’re celebrating for us. Sigh, but isn’t this too sumptuous?"
At this moment, everyone realized that the Genius Doctor Gongsun, who usually did not care about anything, was already washing his hands and sitting at the table obediently. He held a bowl in one hand and a chopstick in the other.
Shao Lin, who was leaning against the window, narrowed his eyes. "Strange, where is she?"
Xiaoxiao took out her precious slingshot from her space and aimed it at that person’s head.
Recently, time was tight, so there was no need to pay attention to rules when eating. They had to eat first and continue to be busy after eating. Hence, Gongsun Zhongjing only nodded at everyone and consciously scooped rice for himself. He then picked up the chopsticks from the pot and started to enjoy the delicacies.
"It’s for us to heat it up. Miss said that this is called a griddle. The dishes inside are all prepared in advance. Just heat up the bottom of the pot when you eat."
"Who else could it be, Miss Xiaoxiao!"
Everyone followed the instructions of the person who spoke and looked at the bottom of the pot. They suddenly realized that there was something else about this pot. There was a basin filled with charcoal at the bottom of the pot. It was heated as they ate. There were also half-finished dishes in the other pot. After eating, they could continue to add ingredients at any time. There was also a lot of rice, so no matter if they came early or late, they could eat something hot and be full.
Shao Lin ran away and rushed back to report to the Crown Prince. "Other than going to the kitchen to cook, that woman has been staying in the house. Occasionally, she will meet the Third Prince through the door. He will say a few words from afar and send some food in. He didn’t mention anything about secretly taking her out."
"Eh? Didn’t she tell us to do it ourselves?"
Shao Lin thought for a moment and shook his head. He thought that she was not in the house, but she did walk out later.
Everyone’s chopsticks paused. It was still Gongsun Zhongjing who said, "It’s already done. It’s better to eat it than to waste it."
They thought that they would have to live like this in the courtyard, but when it was time for dinner, the person in charge of fetching food returned and started to set the table. "Miss Xiaoxiao left us a note and asked us to set the table after lighting the fire. We can eat after setting the dishes."
Shao Lin was looking into the room when he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. He instinctively let out a cry and turned around. Xiaoxiao took this opportunity to flash into the room and shouted, "Who is it?"
Everyone enjoyed this meal to their heart’s content. After eating their fill and being energetic, they learned that the Third Prince had sent several jars of strong wine for them. That was really convenient!
Everyone was a beneficiary, except for His Highness the Crown Prince, who did not dare to leave the room because he was afraid of getting into trouble.
Every night, the doctors wrapped themselves in tattered jackets and treated the patient with acupuncture. They also rubbed their hands until the hands were warm and stopped trembling before they dared to do it. They often ate late because they took too long and their food was already cold.
As the person-in-charge, he was really hungry and tired. He could even eat a steamed bun with relish, let alone Xiaoxiao’s culinary skills. Moreover... he finally confirmed today that what those soldiers got was not smallpox! fre.ew(e)bnov el.com
With just one bite, he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. Then, he ate much faster.
"Doesn’t Third Brother have an extraordinary relationship with this woman? How can he let her stay in here?"
After the meal, their fatigue seemed to have been swept away. No one would know how many personal goods Xiaoxiao secretly put into the pot in the kitchen.
The doctors sighed and thought to themselves, Do I have to cook today’s food myself? Forget it. Why do I have to get the young lady to cook for us? I just don’t know if we have time to eat when the food is ready.
The weather at the border was very strange. It was so hot in the day that they felt like they were about to be roasted, but at night, it was so cold that it made people shiver. It was difficult for newcomers to get used to this huge difference between cold and hot. Even if they stayed here for a long time, they would still shiver under the blanket at night.

The Crown Prince originally wanted to catch Rong Yan in the wrong and make good use of him. He did not expect this kid to abide by the rules beyond his expectations. Or...
Shao Lin asked nervously, "Your Highness, do I still have to keep an eye on her?"
The Crown Prince paced back and forth in the room. How could this be?
They had already eaten it. Who would notice?
He even thought that he had something on Third Brother. After all this time, she was just a chef. How unlucky.
As soon as he finished listening to Shao Lin’s explanation of Xiaoxiao’s dinner, he felt hungry and cravings churning in his stomach. As soon as a unique rich smell floated in front of him, he could not help but secrete more and more saliva...
