Chapter 266 Big Fat Fish in the Sea
Jiang Xiaoxiao took two steps forward and handed the bamboo tube in her arms to Yu'er beside her.

"Sister Yu'er, the water in this bamboo tube can also relieve seasickness. If your wife is thirsty, give her some... Normally, don't drink the water on the boat."

"Okay, I've got that." Yu'er took the bamboo tube, opened the lid and took a look. The water inside was clear and looked very clean and transparent.

She hurriedly fed her wife a mouthful.

After Su Wanwan drank the water, her complexion immediately looked much better.

She stroked her chest, which was rising and falling, with a look of surprise on her face: "Madam Jiang, this medicine is really magical. I don't feel so uncomfortable anymore..."

Her voice still sounded a little sick, but she sounded much more energetic than before.

Seeing Su Wanwan's face gradually turning red, Jiang Wei said nothing but glanced at his daughter.

Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes, pretending to be ignorant.

In fact, she thought about informing the noble lady about the robbers on the ship, but her mother thought it would alert the enemy.

There was no telling how many robbers there were, and on your lady's side, apart from an old man over fifty years old, there were only some women, children and maids, who were no match for that group of people.

In addition, this noble lady was pregnant and knew that someone was trying to harm her. She was worried and fearful, and it was inevitable that she would have a miscarriage.

As soon as Jiang's mother and daughter left, Su Wanwan couldn't help but take a sip of the water in the bamboo tube.

She squinted uncomfortably.

The water is really delicious, cool and tasty, mixed with a light fragrance of bamboo.

The old man was watching from the side and was hesitant to speak, but finally he said: "Madam, you are pregnant, you should drink less raw water."

Su Wanwan held the bamboo tube in her arms and curled her lips reluctantly: "Got it."

Having said that, she couldn't help but take another sip.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but after drinking the water, she felt more energetic and stronger. Even the nausea that lingered in her heart completely disappeared.

If the mother and daughter had not repeatedly warned her not to eat before leaving, she would have asked Yu'er to prepare a large table of delicious food for her so that she could have a big meal to celebrate.

"Madam, you should rest first and have a good sleep. We will be fine until we get to Xuzhou." Yu'er hurried out to smooth things over, while taking the bamboo tube and placing it on the coffee table beside the bed.

Su Wanwan grabbed the blanket and couldn't help complaining: "I will never take this merchant ship again. When I get off the ship tomorrow, I will go to the largest restaurant in Xuzhou to have a good meal."

"Oh, okay. When the time comes, whatever Madam wants to eat, we will find it for her." Yu'er responded with a smile and finally coaxed her madam to sleep.

Seeing this, the maids and servants in the room gradually retreated.

Only one of the little maids.

She glanced at the bamboo tube on the coffee table and her eyes darkened.

……

Mr. Bai came just as Jiang Xiaoxiao and her mother returned to their residence.

As usual, he was holding a plate full of food, with two rare meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, paired with white rice, which looked very rich.

"You are finally back. This merchant ship will arrive in Xuzhou tomorrow. Once it arrives at the dock, the captain will take people off the ship to purchase food. Look, there is more food left on the ship than can be eaten. We will prepare a sumptuous meal for the last few meals to satisfy everyone's appetite."

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at the food on the plate, which was still steaming. She thought that Mr. Bai couldn't wait to serve them the food as soon as he got it. Jiang Wei didn't reach out to take the plate, but just glanced at the food and asked, "Mr. Bai, besides you, is there anyone else who handled these meals?"

Mr. Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head subconsciously: "It should be gone. When I went there, everyone was queuing up to get their meals. Mine was handed to me by the chef himself."

"Chef..." Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face at the right time: "Thank you very much for troubling Mr. Bai, and thank you for taking care of us mother and daughter in the past few days."

After saying that, she reached out and took the food from Mr. Bai.

Jiang Xiaoxiao clearly felt that the moment her mother took the food, the gazes that seemed to be falling on them gradually moved away.

Mr. Bai was completely unaware. He waved his hand and smiled, "You are too polite, Miss Jiang. It is a great honor for me that you can take care of my soap business. It's just a few meals. It's not a big deal."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and quickly added, "By the way, when I came to see you just now, I heard that a few boatmen had caught a few big fat fish. The fish meat is very fresh in this season, and it is even more delicious when eaten on the boat. I will see if there is a chance to buy some. Yong'an County has been suffering from a severe drought in recent years, and I think you haven't had fish for a long time."

Jiang Wei continued to nod and smile: "Thank you."

After Mr. Bai left, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to look towards the place where those gazes came from.

However, there were only a bunch of poor people in patched clothes sitting together.

Most of them had pale and listless faces, and were munching on wild vegetable dumplings that had been left out for who knows how many days.

Some of the younger ones were peeking hungrily at the food in their mother's hands and swallowing their saliva. When they saw her looking over, they quickly withdrew their gaze.

Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned slightly unconsciously.

That group of people didn't look like bandits at all.

"Stop looking and go back." Jiang Wei said.

She just glanced at the group of people from a distance and then turned back to her room.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little depressed. She wondered where those bandits were hiding, secretly watching them, and even her mother couldn't notice.

After returning to the room, Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately closed the door and windows. She then found a piece of coarse cloth from her bag and covered the windows tightly to prevent people outside from peeking.

Jiang Wei slowly put the food sent by Mr. Bai into the space, and then brought out two bowls of hot dumplings.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

The dumplings have thin skin and large fillings, which are crystal clear and you can vaguely see the tender pink shrimp meat inside. The soup is a rich chicken soup, and it is very appetizing when paired with a few strands of seaweed.

It's shrimp ball seaweed dumplings!

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help swallowing. She hadn't eaten seafood dumplings for a long time.

Jiang Wei took out two pairs of clean chopsticks from the space and handed them to her, "Eat it while it's hot."

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't care about the burnt mouth, she picked up one with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. As soon as she took a bite, juice flowed out. The taste was dense and fresh. The tender shrimp meat matched with the fragrant chicken soup was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue!

After Jiang Xiaoxiao finished the first one, she couldn't wait to pick up the second, third, and fourth...

One after another, eating quickly.

Seeing her eating so happily, Jiang Wei couldn't help but joked, "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated or something? I don't usually starve you."
