Ji Shuisheng found the kitchen and saw Su Qing shaking a big spoon. The cook from the courier station was following behind her secretly. The rising flames reflected her cold little face and made her blush.
This Su Qing had an extra aura of fireworks, and Ji Shuisheng was mesmerized by her.
As if telepathically, Su Qing looked up and saw Ji Shuisheng. There was a smile in her beautiful eyes, and her voice was incredibly relaxed.
“It’ll be done soon.”
“Alright, 1’11 help you serve the dishes.”
Ji Shuisheng’s lips curled into a smile as light as a spring breeze. His low voice was like the best music in the world. They were like a loving couple.
Therefore, the cook and the waiter at the courier station were spared. Su Qing cooked, and Ji Shuisheng served the dishes. The two of them cooperated well.
Even though this relay station’s chefs were not skilled, where did they get so many ingredients? Su Qing can have a good time.
She had used all the recipes she had obtained from the upgrade in her culinary skills. The dishes were all beautiful in color, aroma, and taste. She had even carved a crystal clear phoenix with radish. Its proud expression was the same as Su Qing’s.
“Your wife’s cooking is simply too good.”
Yelu Chun said to Ji Shuisheng in amazement after tasting Su Qing’s Twice Cooked Pork.
The food in their country was not so exquisite. The taste was unique, the color was bright red and fatty but not greasy, and the taste was fresh and spicy. Su Qing’s food captured Yelu Chun.
“Qing’er’s culinary skills are outstanding.”
Ji Shuisheng was not humble at all. His proud gaze followed Su Qing’s movements. This was his woman, so outstanding that no one could compare to her.
Su Qing came out of the kitchen with the last dish of Squirrel Carp. This dish was too beautiful. The people eating in the relay station were all attracted by this dish.
“How about trying it?”
Su Qing was also delighted with her cooking skills. She would use tomatoes to make it herself if she didn’t have ketchup. After making the Squirrel Carp, her cooking skills had leveled up. Level 8 cooking skills were already the maximum level. Her physique, spiritual power, combat power, and war god ability had risen to level 35. She felt that she had more strength, her eyes and ears were more sensitive, and she was more energetic.
“Aiya, 1 can’t bear to eat it.”
Yelu Chun looked at the beautiful squirrel fish and couldn’t bear to eat it.
“This is my first time eating it too.”
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing with a smile. She always brought him surprises and shocks. What else could a husband ask for after getting such a wife?
“This taste is amazing.”
Yelu Chun picked up a piece of fish meat and immediately praised it. The color was bright, fresh, crisp, and fragrant. It was sweet and sour and a double enjoyment for the eyes and taste buds.
After the meal, Yelu Chun was full of praise for Su Qing. Her medical skills were outstanding, and her cooking skills were also exceptional. How could there be such a fantastic woman in the world?
“Brother, 1 envy you for marrying a good wife.”
After drinking, Yelu Chun was no longer so restrained. He put his arm around Ji Shuisheng’s shoulder and said enviously.
“Qing’er and I aren’t married yet. When we get married, we will invite Brother Yelu to the wedding banquet.”
Ji Shuisheng said with a smile. After drinking, he realized that Yelu Chun was a straightforward and upright person. He was worthy of befriending because of his boldness in saving Xiaoying and giving the Luan saber to him without heartache. There were also good people in Tartan.
Ji Shuisheng was not a pedantic person. He did not care about his identity as long as he could make friends.
“Definitely.”
Yelu Chun immediately raised his bowl.
“Cheers.”
After the meal, Yelu Chun couldn’t wait to take Su Qing back to Tartan with him. The sooner they returned, the sooner his mother’s illness would recover.
Now, he had an inexplicable sense of trust in Su Qing. If she said she could cure her mother’s illness, she would be able to. There was nothing this woman could not do.
“Brother, don’t be anxious. We must rush to Jingshi Dao first to safely send our clansmen there. Qing’er and I will come to the Tartan Kingdom to find you.”
Ji Shuisheng disagreed immediately. He still had responsibilities on his shoulders. He was not at ease letting Su Qing go to Tartan alone, so he could only postpone it for a few days.
“Alright, but please hurry, brother.”
Yelu Chun heard that he still had responsibilities and did not force them. However, he also hoped they could come to Tartan quickly to treat his mother.
“When you arrive at Tartan, take this token. Someone will bring you to see me.”
Yelu Chun took out a black token. On the token were Mongolian characters that Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing didn’t recognize. Ji Shuisheng’s heart skipped a beat. This person’s status in the Tartan Kingdom shouldn’t be low. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person have a token?
Su Qing asked about the illness of Yelu Chun’s mother in detail and prescribed a prescription for the old lady to take medicine to ensure that her condition would not worsen and ease her pain.
Yelu Chun thanked her repeatedly before leaving with All Lu!
After parting ways with Yelu Chun, Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing remembered that they hadn’t gone to the cloth shop yet, so they went together.
“Young Master, you’re OK?”
The shopkeeper was surprised to see Su Qing return safely.
“Yes, have you prepared what 1 asked for?”
Su Qing nodded. The shopkeeper’s kind reminder was for her good. She did not find fault in his words. She just wanted to take the goods and leave.
“Right away, right away.”
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed. He thought she wouldn’t return, so he didn’t ask the waiter to stock up.
“I will lower the price by 10% as compensation for delaying your time.”
The shopkeeper was easy to talk to, so he voluntarily lowered the price as an apology.
Su Qing did not make things difficult for him and patiently waited for them to stock up. The shopkeeper did not go back on his word. Although the price was twice as high as in Luo City, it was already low in Zhaoyuan County.
Su Qing didn’t bargain. The transportation here was expensive, and others effortlessly snatched away the transportation process. These were all costs.
The most important thing was that the cotton here could be bought and sold freely, unlike Luo City, where it was not allowed to be sold to individuals.
Because Su Qing had bought so many things, Ji Shuisheng hired a carriage. Otherwise, the two of them could not take them away.
They had been eating and shopping for quite some time. Qiu Yongkang and Qu Da were so anxious they wanted to go to the city to save them.
When they saw Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng return with another cart of things, they hurried over to welcome them. Everyone unloaded the cart very quickly, and after sending the coachman away, they hurried on their way.
Qiu Yongkang had already distributed the steamed buns he had bought to everyone. Before leaving the city, he had also bought a bucket of water. Although everyone could not drink water to their heart’s content, at least they could moisten their throats.
To prevent any accidents from happening, they decided to send the villagers away from Zhaoyuan County less than a day after they arrived.
Ji Shuisheng and the others rushed on without stopping. With food and salt, their lives were much better. What they were worried about was water.
The more they walked, the more desolate they felt. When the wind blew, yellow sand flew all over the sky, and there were often whirlwinds and tornadoes. The thin clothes could no longer block the cold.
Su Qing taught the girls to make cotton-padded clothes with the cotton cloth and cotton they bought. The aunties of Peach Blossom Cove, Qin Feng, Ji Shuisheng, and the others, did not understand what Su Qing was doing.
She had torn down the cotton-padded clothes to make cotton-padded shoes, and now she was buying cloth and cotton to make cotton-padded clothes. Why had she spent so much effort before?
Su Qing didn’t care what everyone thought. Making cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes could increase the experience points of darning. However, even if it was a little troublesome, there was nothing to do on the long escape road. Wouldn’t it be good to do some manual work to kill time?
The elderly and children were not resistant to the cold, so they made cotton-padded clothes for the elderly and children first. The more women worked, the faster they worked. They could make more than ten pieces in a day.
The water source was not easy to solve. Everyone’s lips were so dry that they were bleeding. The girls’ faces were dry and rough. They did not have the moisture from before. It was urgent to find water..
