After thinking for a while, Mu Yingbao felt that no matter what that guy's purpose was, he would not let him get what he wanted.

Escape? She is not stupid. Even though there is no one around her now, there may be several people hiding in the dark.

He was framed and had to spend several years at the border. Seeing how thin he was, he must have had a hard time in the past few years. The person he offended even sent someone to kill Hui Ge. Who can guarantee that the other party will give up and stop now?

Would that guy named Xue be defenseless? She wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death.

Not even caring about dinner, such a stingy behavior is really too childish. Mu Yingbao expressed his contempt.

After a while, it was completely dark. A worker brought lanterns and hung them around Maer. Perhaps feeling sorry for Mu Yingbao, the worker took another lantern from the one that was already hanging on Mali and hung it on the shed where she was.

"Young man, can I trouble you for something?" Mu Yingbao thought that this man was kind-hearted and should be able to talk to him.

"Let the aunt and the sister-in-law talk first." The young man looked only twelve or thirteen years old, but he was very cautious and did not dare to agree first.

"You can see that I have offended someone. Now I have no room to sleep and no food to eat. It's cold and hungry in this winter. It's really hard to bear. Can you help me buy some food?" Mu Yingbao said as he took out a silver coin of about two taels. The waiter was a little embarrassed. "Miss, it's not that I don't want to help you. Look at what time it is now. The vegetable vendors have already closed their stalls. Otherwise, can I buy ready-made meals for you? There are restaurants and small restaurants near the inn. If you want to eat noodles, you can also have them."

Huh? So that's how it is. How could I forget that this was in ancient times, and unlike modern supermarkets which close at 9:30, Mu Yingbao felt that he was so stupid for not considering this problem.

In fact, she had thought about asking someone to help her buy food outside, which would save her trouble.

But the key is that she is cold now. If she buys food, it will get cold while she is eating. She wants to eat hot food, and then go to sleep after she is full and warm.

Otherwise, even if you don’t freeze to death, you will catch a cold and get sick.

Yes, I am a doctor, I can cure myself if I get sick, but it is better not to get sick!

"Well, young man, how about this? Your inn has a kitchen, right? Go ask the owner if he has any mutton, fish, or any other vegetables. Would you mind selling some to me?" Mu Yingbao discussed with the waiter.

When she first entered the inn, she saw that it was quite large. Such inns all had large kitchens and were equipped with chefs for the convenience of guests.

"But girl, if the shopkeeper agrees, do you want to go to the kitchen and do it yourself?" The waiter still did not take the money and asked again.

If that's the case, the shopkeeper would hardly agree. Not everyone can enter the kitchen. Two years ago, there was an incident in the neighboring town. A guest who stayed in the hotel wanted to go into the kitchen to cook, and then he poisoned the food and murdered his fellow travelers.

Although the case was solved and the inn was cleared, the inn's business began to decline and eventually had to be sold at a low price.

Therefore, since that incident, all inns have taken it as a warning. Guests can order dishes when they come, and if they don’t like the inn’s food, they can go out to eat, but guests are not allowed to enter the kitchen on their own.

Although the boy didn't tell these things, Mu Yingbao could already tell from his tone and expression.

"No, I won't go to the kitchen. You can just buy the ingredients for me and ask the kitchen for a small pot or a large porcelain bowl. Then help me get a small stove, a chopping board, some water, and a set of bowls and chopsticks." After Mu Yingbao finished speaking, he took out a piece of silver.

What I said was quite simple, but there were ingredients and utensils involved. If I didn't give more, what if the shopkeeper disagreed?

"Then I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, there's nothing I can do." The young man took the silver.

"Okay, thank you." Mu Yingbao nodded with a smile.

It was obvious at first glance that this boy was an honest child and would definitely not be greedy for even a piece of silver. So two pieces of silver were almost five taels, and unless the shopkeeper was stupid, he would not refuse.

After the boy left, Mu Yingbao started to clean up the shed, clearing away some straw to make room.

Just as I got some water from the well and washed my hands, I saw the guy coming back, both of them carrying things in their hands.

"Girl, the charcoal fire in the stove is already lit. If it's not enough, there's some more here. The shopkeeper told you to be careful not to burn the horse jue." After saying that, he put down the things in his hands and left in a hurry again.

After running back and forth to Sanzhao, he finally delivered everything Mu Yingbao wanted, including a kitchen knife.

"Girl, I have something else to do. I'm leaving now. Leave the things here when you're done. I'll come collect them later." The boy actually wanted to stay and see what this extremely beautiful girl would cook. Could she cook?

But that's not possible, the hall is busy right now.

"Go, go, thank you, brother." Mu Yingbao looked through the ingredients in the bamboo basket, looked up and said with a smile.

Wait for the child to come over and give him some silver.

In the bamboo basket, there was half a head of cabbage, a piece of tofu, a piece of mutton weighing a few pounds, and some soaked black fungus and mushrooms.

Both the vegetables and the mutton were washed clean, and Mu Yingbao was quite satisfied.

He wanted to look for the knives he needed in the carriage, but found it troublesome, so he simply used the ones brought by the waiter.

The charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly, and a large soup bowl was placed on it with the water in it already boiling.

Mu Yingbao went to Jinwu's jar of pepper and salt, took out a package of something, identified it under the lantern, and confirmed that it was what he wanted.

She opened it, took out a small cotton bag and threw it into the soup bowl. Soon a fragrant aroma filled the nose. This was the hot pot seasoning package she had prepared herself.

Then I started slicing the mutton, cutting the cabbage, dicing the tofu, quartering the mushrooms, and throwing the whole black fungus into the soup pot to stew first.

I have to say that the boy was reliable. Mu Yingbao didn't ask him to bring dry food. Instead, he brought him two steamed buns, which were still hot.

Mu Yingbao sat on the edge of the quilt, lifted the lid of the soup bowl, and when he saw that it was almost ready, he started putting the mutton slices into the pot.

The thin slices of meat sank and floated in the boiling red soup. She immediately put them in the iodine and ate them with the bamboo tube wine in the carriage.

The mutton slices are soft, tender and fragrant, the mushrooms are plump and smooth, and spicy in the mouth. After a sip of honey wine, I immediately feel warm all over.

Xue Wenyu and his friends did not have dinner at the inn. Thinking about how Hui Ge had spent nearly three years as a servant, Xue Wenyu felt sorry for him and took him and his men to the largest restaurant in town.

They ordered the most expensive dishes in the restaurant. He and his father sat at one table, and his men sat at three tables.

"What's wrong? Is it not tasty?" Xue Wenyu asked in confusion as he saw that Brother Hui didn't seem to have much appetite.

He tasted all the dishes. Even though this was a small town restaurant, the chef's cooking skills were really good, just like those in the big restaurants in Beijing.

I took the braised lion head from the plate in front of Brother Hui and gave it to him. After eating for a while, he still ate half of it.

You know, Brother Hui used to like to eat this dish very much. Could it be that the child remembered the three meals a day in Youcheng? Yes, when that woman was in Wenxin Garden, didn’t she boil all the dishes in water? But why did Dongzhu and Xizhu grow meat after eating boiled vegetables, but Brother Hui became so thin? It seems that the woman deliberately abused the child. Xue Wenyu suddenly remembered the food on the table in the kitchen when he picked up the child. The child should have a meaty dish like chicken thighs, but she made a dish of chicken feet. That thing had a layer of

But why is it that Dongzhu and Xizhu are gaining weight after eating boiled vegetables, but Hui is so thin? It seems that the woman is abusing the children on purpose.

Xue Wenyu suddenly remembered the food he saw on the kitchen table when he picked up his child. The child should have had meaty dishes like chicken thighs, but she made a dish of chicken feet. There was nothing to chew except a layer of skin!

Thinking of this, Xue Wenyu felt that the child was so depressed in front of a table of delicious food, it must be because he was thinking about the unpalatable food he had eaten before!

"Don't think too much. You don't have to eat the food cooked by that woman anymore." Xue Wenyu smiled and comforted him while picking up another chicken thigh for Brother Hui...
