Zhurou

Chapter 106
Seeing that Pei Yong was in a different mood just now, Wei Chengyan didn't dare to laugh any more, finished the soup, went back to clean up, and found a bedroom in the back room to sleep.

But Pei Yong took water to wash up first, but didn't go to sleep, but went back to the front office, waited until the sky was about to light up, then squinted his eyes a little, and then changed his official uniform as if nothing happened, and then went to deal with various affairs outside without mentioning it.

In the small courtyard in the west of the city, as soon as Zhao Mingzhi lay down, he was in a light sleep at first, and then gradually fell into a deep sleep, not knowing whether it was day or night.

I don't know if it's because the medicine is too powerful, or because she has been exhausted all the way, exhausted physically and mentally. Once the string is released, she will sleep again and again, and will wake up several times. Her eyelids seem to be extremely heavy, and her hands and feet are even weaker. Before he had time to concentrate and recharge his energy, he felt sleepy and stared at him again.

When I woke up again, I was really hungry.

Mu Xiang was standing by the bed, heard the movement inside, hurriedly hung up the curtain, leaned her head over and asked, "Is the girl hungry? Do you want to get up now, or do you want to sleep again?"

Zhao Mingzhi was actually still sleepy, so he only asked vaguely, "Is there anything to eat?"

Mu Xiang said: "In the kitchen, there are millet porridge, other side dishes, and fish soup. The soup can be used as a bottom, or powdered, and there are various pastries and snacks. Why don't you try them all, see. Which one do you want to eat?"

Zhao Mingzhi has listened to his family's instructions on how to maintain his health since he was a child. When he is hungry, he should not eat too much, let alone eat and drink.

Only when the stomach is relieved can I relax a little bit.

At this time she was hungry and still taking medicine, she turned her head to see that it was already past noon, so she didn't dare to mess around, so she said: "Eat that millet porridge, it will be fine with two snacks, thank you."

Mu Xiang immediately withdrew and went to the kitchen without asking the little girl to run errands.

In the back kitchen, the cook was chopping firewood from the stove. Seeing the fragrance of wood, she immediately stood up and asked, "Then Miss Zhao is awake? I'll help arrange the dishes!"

As he said that, he reached out to lift the lid of the pot.

Mu Xiang said: "Don't be in a hurry, the girl said that she only eats millet porridge with a few snacks, and doesn't need the rest."

The cook was anxious for a while, and said: "Such a good soup, the fish is a Weishui crucian carp picked up in the morning. It is as big as my palm. How long does it take to grow to this size? I don't know where the second master got it. If you miss this time, you may not be able to get it next time."

He said again: "I fried tea seed oil carefully, the skin was not broken at all, the soup tastes good, I also showed it to Dr. Liu, and there is nothing that conflicts with the properties of the medicine - Miss Zhao really doesn't want to eat it?"

Hearing this, Mu Xiang hesitated, but said: "I'll ask later - I always prepare the porridge first."

All kinds of dishes have already been washed and cut, and when the woody fragrance came, the cook opened the door of the lower stove, called the girl to help light the fire, and after three times, five and two, she figured out a few small dishes in a short time, which made people Carried out.

Seeing that Mu Xiang was about to go out with him, the cook hurriedly pulled him away and asked in a low voice, "Give me an idea, how long will Miss Zhao stay here?"

Mu Xiang replied: "Where did you and I ask this?"

He asked again, "Why, you don't want to serve?"

The cook quickly shook her head, but her hands didn't stop, she took out a basket of eggs from a large vat at the side, she picked out, but she said: "I'm a cashier with the master, how can I say whether I want to serve or not? "

He said again: "It's the first time I saw the second leader bring someone back, and he looks so careful. I'm not a fool, and I'm just thinking about how to work hard—he rarely comes back for a few rounds of meals in a year. I'm just waiting." , can’t be used, don’t you feel panic.”

"To tell you the truth, I sometimes couldn't sleep well in the past two years. I was afraid that one time I would lose such a good job and finally come to Miss Zhao. She looks like the future owner. I don't want to try my best at this moment." Solve the numbers, bring out the real skills, do you have to wait for the future?"

Mu Xiang frowned and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, let the second in charge know that you are talking nonsense behind the scenes, there is nothing wrong, so you want to make trouble!"

The cook quickly said: "How dare I! It's been so many years, and you still don't know my mouth? It's always been very tight, and I don't reveal a word in front of others, but today I'm really impatient, and I just want to ask. If it's too late, show it slowly, if it's too late, this Miss Zhao will move away early, and I will cheer up!"

But when Mu Xiang heard this, she just shook her head and said: "You do your job well, why don't you find out what's there?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to the ear room next door, holding the stove and the medicine in his hands before walking back.

After walking a few steps, she could see the door of the guest room not far away was ajar. Zhao Mingzhi was sitting at the table, holding the bowl in one hand and slowly drinking porridge with the spoon in the other.

The girl's complexion was brown and yellow, and she had slept for a long time and night, but her complexion did not change at all, and the black wart on the right took up almost half of her face, she was really not a pretty person.

But she was sitting alone, eating at a leisurely pace, holding a bowl of porridge and eating seriously, but there was a special charm in her movements, which attracted people to glance over, and didn't pay attention to that face. All the way to the feet are so pleasing to the eye.

And Mu Xiang went out with her for a few days, and she thought she was qualified to say a few words, but she felt that Miss Zhao's words, actions, and even her demeanor and expression were all integrated into one whole, and she was too comfortable to get along with.

I can't blame the second master for being so caring.

It's just that the horoscope may not have a stroke at the moment.

Thinking that just now Zhao Mingzhi thanked her naturally, really distinguishing the two very clearly, one side is insider, the other side is outsider, Mu Xiang sighed in her heart, but didn't think about it anymore, hurriedly quickened her pace, and got in the door.

Zhao Mingzhi had already eaten half a bowl of porridge with side dishes at this moment, when he saw Mu Xiang carrying the stove, although he never came in, he just put it at the door, he could already smell it, subconsciously wrinkled his face, and asked: "It's almost time to eat again." Is it time for the medicine?"

Mu Xiang said: "Girl's nose is so clever, I wanted to put it at the door, so as not to smoke you..."

He said again: "The medicine this time is really bitter, and I will invite Dr. Liu to come tomorrow to see if I want to change the prescription."

Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "Good medicine tastes bitter. If it is useful, just drink it with your nose. It is better to suffer for a while now than to suffer for a long time in the future..."

But as she talked, she couldn't help thinking of Zhao Hong who was far away in Caizhou.

Since his younger brother was taken into captivity, until now, he has never stopped taking the medicine for a day. The medicine juice is bitter and stinky. He often complains, but after crying like a baby, he doesn't play his temper. With red eyes and a snotty nose, he will be honest. Really stuffed the medicine.

It's been half a month since I left, and I don't know how his health is.

Just as he was thinking, he heard someone knocking on the door carrying a food box, it was the cook.

The other party stood still a few steps away with a smile, and said: "I think the side dishes are a bit lacking, and they are not very tender, so I hurriedly steamed an extra bowl of stewed eggs - girl, let's taste a few mouthfuls, this is the stewed newborn chicken, The egg is smaller than a walnut, very fragrant, not greasy, and very nourishing."

As he spoke, he brought out a bowl of things from the wooden box and put it on the table.

There was a little girl who helped to send it over.

Zhao Mingzhi looked down and saw that the stewed egg was really tender. When he took a spoonful of it, the solid yellow piece trembled and swayed on the edge of the spoon. The smell is already tangy, there is no fishy smell, only the aroma of eggs.

She was about to eat just now, but she heard a commotion at the gate of the courtyard. The noise was quiet at first, but after a while, it became louder. Some people could faintly hear scolding, shouting to stop, and then there was the sound of banging on the door.
