Su Qing immediately said, “I’ll make it up for you guys. I’m free anyway.”

“Look at this girl! She’s too kind.”

Auntie Li kept praising Su Qing, but Su Qing didn’t respond. After the pot heated up, she put the fat meat she had plucked from the wild geese into the pot. The fragrance immediately spread, and the children swallowed their saliva.

Su Qing waited for the oil to heat up before pouring the wild geese meat into the pan and stir-frying it.

Auntie Li praised from the side, “She’s the descendant of a Royal Chef after all. She’s definitely better than us. Look at her cooking method. I didn’t expect it. Fortunately, she made it. If I did it, I would have wasted my efforts!”

Su Qing’s face was filled with black lines. She had made up a story about the royal chef, and Auntie Li had believed her without a doubt.

A clever wife couldn’t cook without rice. The escaping team only had salt and no other spices.

Su Qing felt that it was a waste of the wild geese. When she put the water into the pot to stew the wild geese, she was ready to go into the mountains to pick some wild ginger, wild scallion, and fragrant leaves to add to the flavor.

This lush mountain should be able to pick enough seasonings for her.

Hearing that Su Qing wanted to enter the mountains, Ji Xiao Ying insisted on following her no matter what. The little radishes also surrounded him, looking as if Su Qing was the king of the children and wanted to bring them to play.

“You stay at home and look after the children. I’ll be back immediately. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste of time.”

Su Qing tied Ji Xiao Ying up with a child and carried the basket she had woven into the mountain. She saw the villagers who had been hit and injured. They were lying there with red faces and could not open their eyes. They were already showing signs of a fever.

In addition to collecting spices, she also wanted to collect some medicine for external injuries.

In the end, she had the same idea as Ji Shui Sheng. He was also collecting medicine for external injuries and cold wind in the mountains.

He had given his straw Cape and bamboo hat to Su Qing yesterday. He had been drenched in the rain for an entire night and did not drink any cold-expelling soup. Even though he was physically strong, he had a fever now.

With little seven’s guidance, it was easy for Su Qing to collect the wild ginger, wild scallion, wild pepper, and other spices she needed. After collecting the spices, she began to collect the herbs. The system lacked all kinds of medicine. Besides the medicine for external injuries and cold wind, Su Qing also collected other herbs.

There were many mosquitoes near the mountain area at night, which could spread infectious diseases. Generally, there would be a major epidemic after a major disaster, so the medicine should be prepared in advance in case of an emergency.

Su Qing threw all the herbs into the system. Little seven got busy preparing the herbs. The herbs needed to be cut out and crushed, so her chubby little body was running around in the system.

However, little seven was very happy. The medicine cabinets in the system were all empty. It was flustered when it saw it. When its master needed it, it couldn’t help.

The medicine cabinet has medicine in the heart, the heart is not guilty. Master, pick more and fill up the medicine cabinet. Then little seven can serve you better.

Su Qing calculated the time. The wild geese were still stewing in the pot. If he went back late, these spices would not be able to stew well.

When Su Qing was about to go back, she heard the sound of someone stepping on tree branches. She looked over alertly and saw a tall figure walking through the dense trees towards her. Seeing that it was Ji Shui Sheng, Su Qing looked at him indifferently and didn’t say anything.

Ji Shui Sheng was carrying a large bundle of herbs in his hand. He asked when he saw the basket Su Qing was carrying, “Picking herbs?”

“Yes.”

Su Qing coldly snorted. Seeing that she was still so reticent, Ji Shui Sheng did not ask any further and only said, “Let’s go back. There are poisonous snakes in the forest. ”

Su Qing glanced at him and turned to walk back without saying anything. Ji Shui Sheng followed behind silently, keeping a distance from her.

“Sister, you’re finally back.”

Ji Xiao Ying and Li Shuang ‘er were in charge of looking after the children. She had been looking into the mountains because she missed Su Qing. When she saw Su Qing return, she happily went over to welcome him.

“Big brother, why are you with big sister?” Ji Xiao Ying asked heartlessly when she saw her brother following behind Su Qing.

“We met in the mountains,” Ji Shui Sheng explained. A woman’s reputation and integrity were the most important. This was also the reason why he kept a distance from Su Qing.

“Brother Shui Sheng, the geese are almost done.”

When Qiu Yue saw Ji Shui Sheng and Su Qing returning together, she ran over. Her pair of watery eyes looked at Ji Shui Sheng with a smile and said with adoration, “Brother Shui Sheng, thanks to you, we can have meat to eat.”

Su Qing didn’t want to look at her, so she walked around Qiu Yue and added seasonings to the big pot. Seeing Su Qing bring back so many seasonings, Aunt Li praised her,”

“You’re a descendant of a Royal Chef after all. Look at all the spices you’ve collected. Today’s wild goose meat is delicious.”

Ji Shui Sheng was a little surprised when he heard Aunt Li’s words. He took another look at Su Qing. She was the descendant of a Royal Chef?

Qiu Yue’s expression was a little embarrassing. She secretly glanced at Ji Shui Sheng and saw that he did not care about looking for a medicine pot to boil the medicine. Qiu Yue hurriedly went over to help.

“Brother Shui Sheng, I’ll help you.”

“No need,” Ji Shui Sheng waved his hand and refused. He put the herbs into the medicine pot and added water to boil the medicine. His body was not too comfortable, so he leaned against the wooden cart and closed his eyes to rest.

When Qiu Yue saw that he had fallen asleep, she went over to help look at the medicinal soup. Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of waking Ji Shui Sheng up.

“Sister Qiuyue, let me do it!”

Ji Xiao Ying ran over to help. In the past, when her foster father was treating patients, she was in charge of brewing medicine, so she was very familiar with this task.

“You go over there and help, I’ll take care of this!” Qiu Yue said gently to Ji Xiaoying. She stood in front of the medicine pot and did not have any intention of moving away.

Seeing that Qiu Yue did not need her help, Ji Xiaoying ran to Su Qing.

“Sister, I’ll help you start the fire.”

“No need, it’ll be done soon. Take the children to eat apricots. After you’re done, save the almonds for me.”

Su Qing stopped Xiao Ying. She wanted almonds for her medicine, and they were necessary for making wheeze-relieving pills.

The breathless pill was mainly used to treat weak vital energy, cold wind, and heat. The herbs needed were Ginkgo, ephedra, qiuqin, almond, and so on. She had just picked them up in the mountains.

Just now, little seven told her that the man was infected with the cold wind and was very sad and seriously ill. She had eaten the medicine that the man had picked previously. She was not willing to owe him a favor and was ready to return it to him.

That way, they did not owe each other anything.

She had also seen the herbs that Ji shuisheng had picked. Although they were all used to treat colds, their effects were very slow and were not as good as the medicines in the system.

Seeing that the soup in the pot was almost gone, Su Qing called out to Auntie Li, “Aunt Li, the geese are done.”

Ji Shui Sheng had taken a nap. In his daze, he heard Su Qing’s voice and opened his eyes when he smelled the alluring fragrance of meat.

...

Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Qiu Yue touching his forehead. Ji Shui Sheng quickly tilted his head and stood up to avoid her hand. Qiu Yue’s face was filled with embarrassment.

“Brother Shui Sheng, you’re awake?”

Ji Shui Sheng snorted. Seeing that there was only him and Qiu Yue here, he strode over to Su Qing. The aroma of a large pot of stewed goose meat filled the air. The villagers were all lining up to divide the meat, and Ji Shui Sheng was also attracted by the aroma.
