Before Su Qing could speak, Xiao Qi warned Su Qing in the system,
“Pregnant women should eat less spicy food!”
■■You can eat it in moderation. How do you explain the sour and spicy woman?” Su Qing didn’t mind. It was okay to eat less. Xiao Qi was too nervous!
Xiaoying had worked so hard to roast mutton for her. She would be sad if she didn’t eat a bite.
“Then take a bite!”
Xiao Qi was still worried. Su Qing smiled and shook her head. This little gal was
a worrier.
“Sister-in-law, I’ll bring it to you now.”
Xiaoying pushed the door open and walked to the kitchen to return the mutton. She came back first to see if Sister-in-law was back. Otherwise, the mutton would turn cold after being roasted, and it wouldn’t taste good.
Su Qing sat on the stool and waited for her. Not long after, Xiaoying came back with two servant girls. The three of them were carrying trays. Xiaoying’s tray was filled with kebabs. The two servant girls behind her carried fried pancakes, mutton, and carrot soup.
“Sister-in-law, let me teach you how to eat it.”
Xiaoying placed the meat skewers on the table and took a fried pancake from the tray carried by the servant girl. She placed two skewers of mutton on the fried pancake and said to Su Qing with a smile,
“Sister-in-law, look.”
After Xiaoying finished speaking, she pressed the fried pancake into the meat skewer and rolled the mutton. She left all of it in the fried pancake and took out two skewers!
“It’s so fragrant to eat wrapped like this.”
Xiaoying said impatiently to Su Qing after she finished her demonstration. Her bright eyes looked at her sister-in-law expectantly. Her gaze almost said,
■Sister-in-law is going to praise me.’
“... Very good.”
When Su Qing saw Xiaoying’s way of eating, she remembered that the people in Xinjiang liked to wrap mutton skewers with naang and eat them. Who did Xiaoying learn this from?
Su Qing thought Xiaoying had gone to cook for her, so she ordered the servant girl to bring her hot water to wash up.
In ancient times, copper basins were used, and the water was clear when poured into the basin. The temperature of the water adjusted by the servant girl was just right, so Su Qing washed with water.
She didn’t need the help of a servant girl to comb her hair. After washing her face, she simply tied her hair into a bun and put it on with a jade hairpin.
The servant girl had wanted to help her comb her hair into a beautiful bun several times, but she always felt that the way Madam combed her hair was like that of a Daoist nun. Married women had to do a high bun, and they knew many kinds of hairstyles, such as the sideburns style, the flying fairy style, the cloud bun, and so on. They were all gorgeous hairstyles.
These were all compulsory lessons for high-class maids. Knowing that they had to serve the Young Master’s wife, they all worked hard to make the Young Master’s wife look noble and beautiful. In the end, they didn’t even use the bun they learned. The Young Master’s wife liked this simple hairstyle.
Su Qing didn’t know what these maidservants were thinking. After washing up, she ordered them to bring the food up. Her stomach grumbled when she woke up early in the morning. She didn’t want the child in her stomach to starve. “Prepare more jerky and put the pastries in my carriage.
Su Qing Stopped the servant girl and ordered her to prepare food to put in the carriage. At this time, Xiao Qi spoke,
“Master, leave the food for the journey to Xiao Qi. I have already prepared the recipe. I guarantee that Master will eat happily and nutritiously!” Su Qing heard Xiao Qi’s voice. Why did it sound like an advertisement? However, with Xiao Qi’s good logistics, they wouldn’t have to starve on the road. However, they had to prepare more food and put it in the system. Xiao Qi looked at the small vegetable garden that she planted and smiled. Fortunately, she had nothing to do and planted these vegetables. She originally wanted to give her Master a surprise for the new year. She had long known that her Master wanted to eat vegetables.
The winter in the north was long and cold. Other than the cabbages and carrots, there were also pickled vegetables and pickles! She couldn’t eat fresh vegetables.
Even Su Qing couldn’t eat it. She could only make some tofu to satisfy her craving.
Xiao Qi frowned. There was no fruit. Master had to eat more fruits. Sigh, she had failed her duty. Why didn’t she prepare fruits earlier?
Traveling in winter was slow. Usually, they would reach Xiao Qi in two days, but in this snowy land, they would need three to four days. She felt sorry for her Master!
Su Qing didn’t know what Xiao Qi was thinking. After washing up, she asked the servant girl,
“Have you seen Xiaoying?”
“Young Madam, Miss Xiaoying went out early in the morning.
“She didn’t say where she was going?”
Su Qing was slightly stunned. They were about to leave, so why did Xiaoying go out?
“She didn’t say.”
The servant girl shook her head. It was not their place to ask where their Master went.
“Alright, you may leave!”
Su Qing did not seem to have asked anything. Thinking Xiaoying might have gone out to buy something, she did not take it to heart. The carriage was already set up, and the food and gifts were also loaded. It was already the agreed time to leave, and Xiaoying had not returned. Su Qing was only worried..The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
