After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 884 A Group of People Fainted from Starvation

Yu's servants also came along. When they heard the noise, they were anxious and wanted to run to help, but they were stopped by the soldiers: "This is a construction site, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter."

The steward of the Yu family said, "Our young master has hit his head and is in great danger. We must go in and check on him!"

Zhong Baihu came over and asked coldly, "Young Master Yu, are you not planning to go back to Taizhou Academy with the words 'escape' on your face?"

This?
The steward of the Yu family had nothing to say.

Having been selected by the Duke of Yan to be trained and developed as the next generation of officials in the Six Ministries, he would be ridiculed for the rest of his life if he left the Northeast with the reputation of desertion.

"Let our doctor from the Yu family go in and take a look," the Yu family steward conceded.

“Alright,” Zhong Baihu agreed.

When the Yu family doctor arrived, Yu Chenghao was already surrounded by Elder Xun, Doctor Xue, Female Physician Xue, and Lin, the military doctor under Commander Zhong.

The doctor from the Yu family breathed a sigh of relief and went to check Yu Chenghao's injury. He was relieved... It was just a cut, and the wound was still hidden by his hair. Even if it left a scar, it wouldn't affect his appearance.

The bleeding has stopped, but his young master scared himself and screamed quite loudly.

However, for the young master's safety, the Yu family doctor dared not use other doctors' medicines. He opened his own medicine box, applied wound medicine to Yu Chenghao, and bandaged his wound.

Dr. Xue and his wife, along with Dr. Lin, were also very busy, examining the injuries of other students.

The construction site of the herbal medicine workshop was bustling with activity all morning, with students encountering all sorts of problems, including one student fainting from hunger.

At once?
"Si Pei, what have you been doing all morning? You are the head of the clerks, and you are responsible for finding food for the students. It's already noon, and the students haven't even had breakfast!" Qiong Lao said to the students registering the clerks, "Write this down. Si Pei made a mistake by failing to solve the students' hunger problem in time, which caused some students to faint. Fine... one tael for each student who faints."

Instead of calculating by the number of times, calculate it by the number of people, otherwise Si Pei won't learn his lesson!
Si Pei argued, "Sir, I have been working the whole time. There are too many students who have made mistakes. I have been helping with the registration and have not been able to free up my hands. Besides, I have just arrived in Taifeng Town and have no idea where to get food."

"Soliciting excuses," said Old Qiong. "If you are to be sent to a post in the future, will you not investigate the commerce, agriculture, military defense, and personnel of the place you are to take office before you take office, and will you only wait to make mistakes and then try to make excuses? Will the court listen to your excuses?!"

"You have hands, feet, a brain, and a mouth. If you don't know, why don't you ask around?"

Old Qiong was so angry his liver ached. He said to the students registering the students, "Change the fine to gold!"

Silver was no longer enough to teach this young master Si Pei a lesson.

The student registering was Si Feng. He glanced at Si Pei, but still registered truthfully.

Si Pei's face flushed with anger, and he argued, "Sir, this matter of finding food for the students involves money and should be the job of the military."

Qiong Lao: "Does this matter involve personnel arrangements? Do the personnel need to eat? If they need to eat, then this is a matter for the personnel department."

Qiong Lao then said to Si Feng, "Ineffective sophistry, record one mistake and fine one tael of gold!"

Si Pei: "..."

It was bitter, tiring, unfair, and even hungry. There were no benefits, but I ended up losing a few taels of gold.

"Yes, student knows his mistake, I will take people to buy lunch." Si Pei was also starving, so he stopped arguing and went to find himself a meal.

"Alright, go ahead." Old Master Qiong was finally satisfied, and instructed him, "Don't send servants to do it. Only by doing it yourself can you hone your skills."

As for how to calculate the meal expenses, Master Qiong didn't give any instructions, leaving the students to figure it out on their own.

"Yes." Si Pei replied, then glared at Si Feng before leading him away from the herbal medicine workshop construction site.

Zhong Baihu sent two soldiers to protect him.

Uncle Qin ran over: "Young Master Si Pei, would you like to buy information? I know the town well and can take you to buy ready-made meals. It will only cost one tael of gold for the journey fee."

"Hmph!" Si Pei snorted coldly, not letting Uncle Qin earn this money.

The Si family was not just for show; the servants who came with them told Si Pei everything they had found out, and even gave him small silver notes and loose change.

"Take it!" Si Pei ordered Si Feng.

After receiving the money, Si Feng followed Si Pei to buy cooked food.

We went to Lü Family Inn.

To get to Lü's Inn, he had to walk through a large area of ​​stalls, where he encountered many 'acquaintances'.

"Oh, it's that young master who got so angry that he fainted after being stared at by a bunch of people while relieving himself."

Si Pei: "..." Ahhh, this young master is going to report you to the authorities and send you all to jail!

Si Pei quickened his pace and jogged across the area.

The villagers said, "No wonder you're from the capital city, you're so thin-skinned. If we were country folk, we wouldn't be shy at all, we'd even compare sizes."

Si Pei, who was hit hard: "..."

Ugh, what a bunch of uncivilized savages! They're so uncivilized and have no manners whatsoever!
Si Pei cursed them in her heart.

Si Feng: "..."

Sympathize with Si Pei.

We finally arrived at Lü Family Inn, but unfortunately it was packed with people.

Si Pei was shocked: "In this desolate countryside, where do so many people get the money to eat out?!"

In short, it offended everyone eating in the lobby.

The servants of the Si family hurriedly called out, "This is the legitimate young master of our Si family in the capital region."

In short, escaping a group beating is a win in itself.

Lu Fengshou personally came to greet him: "Young master, please don't be offended. It's lunchtime now, and our Taifeng Town has many industries, so there are many merchants coming and going... What would you like to eat?"

boom!
Si Pei snatched the money bag from Si Feng's hand and slammed it on the counter: "We need lunch for 232 people. Hurry up, or it'll be against the law to starve the scholars and officials."

"It should be delicious and clean, with a good balance of meat and vegetables. Don't serve up rustic, unpalatable food."

Everyone: "..."

Is this young man crazy?
Even if it were His Majesty the Emperor ordering food, he would still have to wait for the kitchen to prepare it.

Even if the meal consists only of steamed buns and flatbread, it would take half an hour to prepare food for more than two hundred people.

They also need both meat and vegetables, and they don't eat country food.

Ugh, I can't stand it anymore. I'm thinking of paying out of my own pocket to get him a doctor, so he doesn't get seriously ill at such a young age.

Lu Fengshou was also speechless and shook his head: "I'm sorry, guests. The food for more than 200 people is equivalent to more than 20 tables. Usually, reservations are made three days in advance. But the guests want it now. Our small shop has limited manpower and we really can't make it. Please don't be offended."

After saying that, he pushed the money bag back.

This is rejection.

Si Pei was shocked. Such a large business deal was something this run-down rural shop probably wouldn't come up with even once a year, and they dared to refuse it?!

Si Feng said, "Doing physical labor without eating for too long can easily cause you to faint."

Hurry up, or a lot of us will faint from hunger.

Si Pei paused, changed her mind, and asked, "With both meat and vegetables, which dish is the fastest to prepare?"

Lü Fengshou: "We can make more than 200 servings of minced meat noodles in half an hour."

"I want this one, as soon as possible." Si Pei added, "I also need to order 232 dinners, one meat dish, one vegetable dish, one soup, and one pastry."

Soup is out of the question, but you still want pastries!
He further warned, "When you are cooking, soldiers will be watching the kitchen. If we find anything wrong with the food, you can expect your entire family to be wiped out!"

Lu Fengshou's face darkened, and he pushed the money bag back: "The guest is of high status, and our shop is unable to accommodate him."

Doing business and worrying about having your property confiscated and your entire family wiped out? I'm quitting, you better get out of here.

what?
Si Pei was stunned, then said angrily, "You're just a small shopkeeper in the countryside, yet you have such a temper! How dare you refuse to do business with us!"

Lü Fengshou: "Please don't be offended, guest."

Si Pei continued to curse.

Lü Fengshou always said, "Please don't be offended, guest."

Si Pei had calmed down after being teased, and said through gritted teeth, "We'll send soldiers to keep an eye on your cooking. If there's a problem with the food, we'll only arrest the poisoner, not confiscate your property or exterminate your entire family, okay?!"
