Chapter 166 Poison Hair
Chapter 166 Poison Hair
Su Chengnan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was so exaggerated?
"What is the problem?"
"Girl, what you gave me is refined salt! It is something that no amount of money can buy," he took out a small linen bag from his body and poured out a few ugly black stones.
Su Chengnan frowned and said in disbelief, "Is this the kind of salt block you usually use?"
This is not even coarse salt!
Li Shanqi didn't look like someone who would abuse his subordinates. Could she have seen it wrong?
The cook nodded. "Yes, the military camp's consumption is really too high. Let alone refined salt, we can no longer afford even ordinary coarse salt. That's why we've been using this stuff for the past year."
"What about General Li and the others?"
"Of course the general eats the same thing as us. General Li never cooks for himself!" He puffed out his chest, a sense of pride evident in his words.
Su Chengnan breathed a sigh of relief, it was all right.
"Is there enough food?"
"enough!"
The cook grinned and pointed behind him, "The prince sent some food over here, so we won't have to worry about food this month."
Su Chengnan looked back in the direction of his hand and saw about twenty grain bags piled in the corner of the tent, as well as five or six unloaded horse legs.
Although the cook was talking to her the whole time, he did not delay his work at all.
"Miss, we are here."
"Sister!"
The voices of Su Linhua and Nian Qiu came from behind.
Su Chengnan, the cook and others looked over when they heard the sound.
I saw a group of twenty or thirty people coming over, pushing carts and carrying large and small bags in their hands.
“Oh my god, this is…”
"It smells so good! Is it meat?!"
"Am I seeing things? They're all big white buns and steamed buns?" The cook rubbed his eyes, then quickly waved his hand to ask his brothers to stop.
"Hurry, let's cook two more pots of soup. The radish and bone soup with steamed buns and pancakes is the most delicious."
"Okay, okay! Right away."
Su Linhua jogged over and took out a meat pie wrapped in oil paper from her arms and stuffed it into Su Chengnan's hand.
"Sister, try it."
"I can't eat it." She pushed the cake back, resisted the urge to feel nauseous, and turned her face away.
"Feeling uncomfortable? Are you okay?" Su Linhua asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. Hurry up and put the pot on the stove and let the soldiers eat something first. We never know when the battle will start again."
"Okay, don't worry."
Su Linhua waved to the people behind, and everyone unloaded the things from the flatbed truck in an orderly manner.
There are still half-cooked buns in the steamer, so we need to get a big stove to continue steaming them. The oil pan has been set up on the other side.
The dough that had been kneaded in advance was also taken out.
The cook here took one look and said in surprise: "So much oil?!"
Su Linhua blurted out, "It has to be rich in oil to be fragrant. The key is, if they don't eat more oil in such a cold day, they will be very uncomfortable. They can't resist the cold."
"My goodness, how much oil and flour did this take? And you even brought meat? Tsk tsk."
The old cook at the back had a look of pain on his face, looking really heartbroken. He looked at Su Linhua as if he was looking at a prodigal, secretly cursing her for not knowing how to live.
"It's okay, that's just how much!" She smiled nonchalantly, pointing to the things she brought and said, "Feel free to use these. We'll tell you later if you don't have enough."
"Anything else?" He was stunned.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be enough!"
The cook, Lao Jin, who had been talking to Su Linhua, interrupted and said, "Okay, okay, then we won't be polite." At the same time, he glared at the old man and signaled him to shut up with his eyes.
Su Chengnan nodded silently, pulled Su Linhua to the side, and pulled her fingertips slightly, indicating that she should stop talking.
Although Su Linhua didn't understand, she wasn't stupid. Full of doubts, she followed Su Chengnan to the side and lowered her voice, "Sister, what did I say wrong? But you can't bear to let me go?"
Su Chengnan raised his hand and gave her a slap on the face: "Am I someone you can't bear to part with? You're really attracting hatred by doing this."
"what?"
"The salt they used was all black salt blocks. I just gave them a bag of refined salt in a hurry, which was already outrageous."
"Hiss..." Su Linhua woke up instantly.
"Okay, I get it. If I take things out again, I'll just get some inconspicuous whole grains or something. Keep a low profile."
"Ah."
If it weren't for the winter and heavy snow covering the vegetation, they really would have no reason to take out the potatoes and sweet potatoes. Otherwise, these things alone could feed them for several months.
However, Su Chengnan secretly buried sweet potatoes and potatoes in the mountains along the way, hoping that they would sprout when spring came.
"Miss."
Ah Shun hurried over from behind.
Su Chengnan looked back and saw his anxious look. His heart skipped a beat for some reason. "What's the matter?"
"The prince is poisoned. He's clearly taken the antidote, but for some reason, he can't suppress it anymore. Do you have any antidote pills left by Marquis Su?"
"Antidote pills?"
Su Chengnan thought, aren't detoxification pills from your Penglai Valley? She thought for two seconds before suddenly remembering that she had given Lu Chaofeng antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and she had used this name at the time.
"Yes! Take me there."
"Miss, please!"
Su Chengnan glanced at Su Linhua and immediately comforted her, "You go and do your work. I'll just stay here and make something to eat. I won't go anywhere. Don't worry."
"Well, let's go."
When Qingshan heard what A Shun had just said, his heart had already flown to Lu Chaofeng, and he kept asking A Shun why he had been poisoned.
"Just when we were fighting, a wizard from the White Bear Nation arrived and sang some kind of nonsense song in the middle of the battle. I couldn't understand it either. It was just a lot of chattering. At that moment, something was wrong with the prince."
"Wizard?" Su Chengnan was stunned.
"Yeah, didn't you see it then? You might have missed it. It was the old man in the white robe."
"I really missed it." Su Chengnan muttered to himself.
"What are the symptoms of your family's young master now? Has Mi Feng gone to see him?"
"Mi Feng is helpless, so I came here to look for you, Miss." Ashun took a deep breath, his expression very panicked.
"The prince's body is burning hot. Wet towels and acupuncture haven't helped. Wu Ming said this time is even more extreme than the previous one in the capital."
"Has the same thing happened in the capital before?"
"I heard from Wu Ming that it was true. He took the medicine you gave him, and that's when he got better."
"Okay, I got it." Su Chengnan's pace became faster and faster. She tucked her hands into her sleeves and quickly took out the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs from the space. She even prepared a thermometer, ready to give him a drip at the first opportunity. I hope he doesn't really burn his brain...
