Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

At this time, Ziyue had already found out from the barefoot doctor in the fishing village that when Chunli gave Qingli some medicine, she also asked the doctor to grab some herbs for body conditioning.

But why did this herbal medicine contain something that was incompatible with it? The old doctor was also confused.

"Girl, this taste is not caused by old people!"

Ziyue watched the doctor pick up some of the herbs inside and said with a wrinkled face.

This is the medicinal ingredient that confused the master before, and it should not appear in this medicine at all.

“Then what will happen if this medicine is added to the medicine?”

Ziyue glanced at the bag of medicine residue and continued to ask.

The old man shook his head helplessly. It was okay once he drank, but if he drank too much... "It would be death!"

After hearing what the old doctor said, Ziyue felt relieved. She asked again: "Then do you still remember who came to get this medicinal material from you?"

The old doctor recalled it and shook his head slightly. No one has been here recently, and only every day...

Before the old doctor could finish what he said, a man walked in outside the door. He put the dry firewood on his back into the woodshed and began to help organize and dry the herbs in the yard.

"He moved to the village not long ago and has been renting in the village. He helps take care of the herbs and chops some dry firewood here on weekdays."

The old man saw Ziyue's suspicious eyes and explained.

Ziyue turned to look at the old doctor, nodded gently, said that there was still something else to do at Zhuangzi, glanced at the man in the yard who was arranging medicinal materials, and then went back.

The old man shook his head helplessly and returned to the house.

Ziyue did not really leave, but hid near the old doctor's yard, observing the men in the yard.

Judging from the way the man walked just now, this man knows kung fu.

After burning the incense, the man entered the doctor's room, but soon came out. He picked up the rope and machete at the door as if nothing had happened, turned towards the room, said something, and then turned and left.

Seeing that the man was heading towards the mountains, Ziyue wondered if the man still wanted to chop wood?

When the man was not paying attention, she turned back and walked towards the doctor's yard again. The room was quiet. Ziyue saw that the door of the room was not closed, so she walked straight in. When she saw the old doctor lying on the ground, she opened her eyes. The light shrank suddenly.

She quickly confirmed that the person was no longer breathing.

"broken!"

Ziyue immediately understood that the man was the murderer who poisoned Chunli, and immediately chased him out.

But that man was not stupid, he had already disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Ziyue chased him to the foot of the mountain and didn't see the man again, roaring angrily.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing and the other two people in Qizhou City had arrived at Zuiqian Pavilion. They had just arrived in front of the door and heard someone shouting before they could enter.

"Your Majesty?"

I saw Zhou Meier and her personal maid walking out from the Qingfeng Pavilion opposite, walking towards Chu Haochen.

"It turns out it's really the prince. Mei'er has met the prince. I didn't know that the prince is here to have a meal. So why not come to Qingfeng Pavilion? There happened to be a squirrel mandarin fish dish there recently, which was pretty good."

Zhou Meier looked at Chu Haochen and smiled charmingly.

Lu Qingqing originally wanted to tease Chu Haochen, but when she heard the squirrel mandarin fish, a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Chu Haochen glanced at the person who came and had no idea who the woman in front of him was, so he simply replied coldly: "No need."

Immediately, she held Lu Qingqing's waist and walked into Zuiqian Pavilion. The smile on Zhou Meier's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a jealous expression, and the embroidered handkerchief in her hand was tightly twisted by her.

"Miss, let's go back."

The little maid behind reminded her, but after receiving a sideways look from Zhou Meier, she didn't dare to say anything.

They didn't notice that Ziyao behind them had not followed their master into the restaurant, but she stood quietly with her arms crossed and looked at the master and servant.

"Girl, I advise you not to have any ideas about the prince. You are not qualified yet..."

Ziyao said sarcastically to her. Only then did Zhou Meier discover Ziyao's existence. Someone suddenly saw through her thoughts. Zhou Meier looked at Ziyao with a sullen face and asked her who she was and what qualifications she had to preach to her.

Ziyao smiled coldly and walked towards the restaurant with leisurely steps.

This made Zhou Meier so angry that she cursed: "Damn it, who does she think she is..."

The little maid looked at the people around her and was attracted to her. She quickly and timidly pulled the lady's sleeve as a reminder.

Zhou Meier threw her away, glanced at the people around her angrily, turned around and left.

As soon as everyone saw that there was no excitement, they dispersed.

After entering Zuiqian Pavilion, Lu Qingqing took Chu Haochen directly to her exclusive private room on the second floor.

The waiter at the back shop quickly went to report to shopkeeper Xie.

"Shopkeeper, the master is here. He's in the private room on the second floor."

When Xie Kui heard this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he immediately thought that his master must have been in confinement. He ordered the waiter to quickly serve tea to his master and shake the tea.

"Oh, shopkeeper, don't worry, I know." He said and ran towards the back.

Xie Kui hurriedly walked towards the private room on the second floor. He didn't even notice the regular customers saying hello. It was the waiter at the back who explained that the boss was here today and the shopkeeper rushed to see him.

This relieved the unhappy look on Su Ke's face.

Xie Kui knocked on the private room on the second floor.

"Enter!"

Chu Haochen's voice came from inside, which made Xie Kui outside the room startled for a moment. Then he understood. He leaned over and pushed open the door to respectfully salute the two people inside.

"This subordinate has met his master and met his prince."

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and asked Xie Kui to get up and reply.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. I see that there are not many people in the restaurant. Why is that?"

Xie Kui knelt down with a face of shame, which made Lu Qingqing frown, thinking that someone in the restaurant had really leaked the secret recipe.

"Master, my subordinate is incompetent. I don't know where Qingfeng Restaurant got two recipes, and they happen to be the signatures of our Zuiqian Pavilion. However, my subordinate repeatedly checked everyone in the restaurant and found no one. Revealing secret recipes or having contact with outsiders.”

Lu Qingqing's face became solemn and she checked with Xie Kui again. After receiving a positive answer, she waved for Xie Kui to get up first.

Chu Haochen soothed Lu Qingqing's depressed mood, and then said to shopkeeper Xie, asking him to arrange some food. His master hadn't had lunch yet.

"Damn it, my subordinate, I didn't even notice that it's already noon. Your Majesty, I'll wait for you and I'll go right away."

After saying that, he leaned over and exited the room.

Chu Haochen looked at Lu Qingqing's solemn expression and asked her puzzledly why?

Lu Qingqing came to the window and said in a faint voice: "These two dishes were only made in her previous life. Since none of her men betrayed the master, it means..."

Chu Haochen took her words and asked, "Does it mean that someone like Qing'er is also from there?"
