The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 230 - 230 Li Xiao'er



230 Li Xiao’er

Madam Qin forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls of porridge and felt a little better. She said to Aunt Qin, “I remember that I think I fainted! Did Doctor Wen say what illness I have?”

“How are you sick? You were poisoned.” Aunt Qin told Mrs. Qin about Mr. Wen’s diagnosis and her suspicions. “Madam, think about it. Ever since you cut off the use of your resources over there, you started to get sick not long after and slowly became weaker and weaker. Doctor Wen said that the poison was administered bit by bit. Now that I think about it, it was most likely done by that bitch. What do you think we should do?”

...

No wonder she didn’t get that muddle-headed worm to speak up this time. So she was waiting for me to be poisoned! Bitch, it’s a pity that you didn’t get what you wanted!

Madam Qin calmly instructed Aunt Qin, “Tie up Old Madam Shen and Old Madam Lin . Get Qin Gui’s wife to replace them at the stove and lock the two old women in the storeroom. Get Qin Gui to quickly return to Qingzhou and get my brother to come over.”

“Yes, Madam. I’ll bring someone to capture the two old women. The poison in your body hasn’t been cleared yet. Rest well first.”

Yu Hui also said, “That’s right, Mother. Take care of yourself first. I’ll deal with the matters at home. I’ve already grown up.”

Madam Qin looked at her daughter, who had grown up and become sensible. Her heart ached endlessly. She nodded and closed her eyes to sleep.

Aunt Qin brought Qin Gui to the kitchen and pointed at the two old women sitting in front of the stove whispering. “Ah Gui, tie them up and lock them in the storeroom.”

“Alright, Aunt Qin!” After agreeing, Qin Gui walked over and grabbed an old woman’s hand to twist it behind her back. The old woman screamed in pain, “Old Aunt Qin, what did I do? What right do you have to tie me up?”

“The food you made was not clean. It damaged Madam’s stomach and almost killed her. Eldest Miss said that she had to teach you a lesson.”

“Nonsense. I’m always careful to wash things clean.” The other old woman also shouted. Auntie Qin grabbed her hair and pulled her to the ground. Auntie Qin and Qin Gui gagged the two old women and locked them in the storeroom. They said to Qin Gui, “Hurry back to Qingzhou and tell Uncle that Madam was almost killed. Ask Uncle to come over quickly.”

Qin Gui nodded and left. Aunt Qin took the key and walked towards the main room. She said to the two trembling women, “You have to know which family you’re from. Shut up when you shouldn’t say anything. Don’t you dare to commit acts of betrayal!”

The two women nodded and said, “We understand, Aunt Qin.”

When Li Yu woke up, Zhou Jia had already gone to the government office. Seeing that Doctor Wen and Li Qing were playing chess in the courtyard, she knew that Madam Qin was fine. She said to Doctor Wen and Li Qing, “Sir, Ah Qing, the new flour has been ground. What do you want to eat?”

Li Qing shook his head. Doctor Wen said happily, “I just want to eat something soft. Get someone to make it.”

Li Yu thought for a long time and suddenly thought of Grandma’s favorite soft and delicious sachima in her previous life. Yes! She would make it. Li Yu looked at Doctor Wen with a smile. “I know a kind of pastry, but I’m not sure if I can make it. Wait for me, I’ll make it for you.”

Doctor Wen nodded and smiled. “Alright! I’ll wait. Just instruct the servants to do it. Don’t tire yourself out.”

“Yes! I know.” Li Yu walked towards the kitchen. When Old Madam Liu saw Li Yu coming to the kitchen, she thought that she was hungry. She smiled and asked, “Madam, what do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

“I’m not hungry. Take out a few of the preserves we bought last time and cut them into cubes. Then scoop out a small bowl of the honey.”

After Old Madam Liu agreed, she went to get the preserves and honey. Li Yu remembered that there was no coconut oil here either. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly remembered that there was still a jar of tea seed oil in the space. She turned around and went back to the house to take it out of the space. She returned to the kitchen and scooped out some flour and pea starch. She placed them aside for backup and mixed the old flour and flour in a wooden basin. She stirred the eggs and poured them into the flour, placing them aside to ferment.

She went to the cupboard and took out some walnut kernels to be crushed. She placed them in the bowl as a backup with the candied fruit that Old Madam Liu had chopped up. She let Old Madam Liu scatter the fermented dough and roll it into thin slices. She changed the knife so she could cut the dough into small pieces and sprinkled the pieces with starch to prevent the dough from sticking. Finally, she cut them into strips and removed the excess starch.

Old Madam Liu prepared the noodles under Li Yu’s instructions. Li Yu poured some tea seed oil into the pot. When the oil was 80% hot, she fried the noodles until they were slightly yellow and scooped them out of the pot with a colander. Then, she added oil and sugar to the pot. She also added a small amount of water to boil everything into syrup. The syrup was simmered until it was golden yellow. She used her chopsticks to pick up the thin threads and poured the fried noodles into the pot with the candied fruits and walnut kernels. She scooped them out and placed them on the oiled chopping board. After cooling, she cut them into small pieces.

Old Madam Liu looked at the cooked sachima and said curiously, “Madam, what’s the name of this pastry? It looks delicious!”

Li Yu thought for a moment and still used her original name. “The name is sachima!” As she spoke, she picked up a piece and tasted it. She felt that perhaps the raw materials were purer, the texture was not bad. She picked some up and put them on a plate. She said to Old Madam Liu, “You eat too. Save some for Yu Niang and the others and make some to send to Xiaoyu.”

Old Madam Liu smiled and said, “Got it, Madam.”

Li Yu brought two plates of sachima to the courtyard and smiled at Mr. Wen and Li Qing. “Thank you for waiting. The sachimas are here.”

“Sachima” was such a strange name, Li Qing thought to himself. When he saw Li Yu holding a plate in one hand, her movements were really like a waiter’s. He found it funny and pretended to say, “Li Xiao’er, your movements are not neat at all. There won’t be any tips later!”

“If he doesn’t tip you, the old man will.” Doctor Wen smiled and picked up a piece of Sachima. He took a bite. “Hmm! Not bad. It’s soft and delicious. Look at the tip! Xiaoyu, Sir made a box of moisturizing ointment for you. You can use it tomorrow.”

“Thank you, sir!” Li Yu thanked Doctor Wen and said to Li Qing, who was eating the Sachima, “Ah Qing, send a plate to your brother-in-law.”

Doctor Wen stood up and picked up a plate of sachimas. He said to Li Qing, “Let’s go! Ah Qing, let’s go to the government office to take a look. What is your brother-in-law busy with?”

Li Qing nodded and the two of them left one after another. Li Yu saw the two of them walk through the corridor towards the front office. She sat on the recliner and gently stroked her bulging stomach. She looked at the gardenias in the corner for a while and closed her eyes to smell the faint fragrance before falling asleep.

In the Yu family, Yu Yan returned from the kitchen and frowned. “Mother, the two women on the stove were locked up by Yu Hui and replaced by Qin Gui’s wife!”

Madam Yang ‘s heart skipped a beat. She said anxiously, “Is Old Madam Yang also locked up?”
