The cruel little princess

Chun Tao held the food tray steadily and walked quickly to the low table nearby. She put the small bowls and plates on the canteen in order.

"Miss, please look, this is the pickled vegetable I mentioned." Chuntao pushed forward a plate of pickled vegetables that shone like white jade.

The radish slices were cut into thin and translucent slices. When you picked up a slice, you could even vaguely see the screen behind it. This shows how good Chuntao's knife skills are.

The white jade-like thin slices of radish are mixed with orange-yellow ginger slices. It has a sweet and sour taste at first smell, not to mention how appetizing it would be if you actually took a bite.

Shen Youyou picked up a piece and held it in front of her, her nose twitching, "Chun Tao, you can eat this, but only in small amounts. If you eat too much, I'm afraid your teeth will get sour." It seems that she has to go to the kitchen.

"Miss, it seems I was overthinking it. I thought everyone was trying to harm us!" Chun Tao sighed softly, "Okay! Now you can relax. Miss, have your meal! And what about the master? Is he eating now?"

"My father is still in a coma and doesn't need to eat. I just need to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of ginseng soup for him later. When I go to the kitchen later, you stay by my father's side and don't leave even a step." Shen Youyou drank the porridge slowly and had already planned her next move.

"Sit down and eat, just like we did at home. Eat. I've never really treated you like a servant. In my heart, you're the sister I grew up with. What was the same before will remain the same in the future."

"Miss, I can do the rough work. You should stay by the master's side! I don't know how to take care of a patient!" Chun Tao waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm afraid I can't take care of it."

"Are you sure you can make ginseng soup?" Shen Youyou asked, searchingly. "When we were in the countryside, we had never even seen ginseng. I'm also following the Buddha's recipe, but it's not certain I'll get it right the first time."

"So you will have to stay in the kitchen for a longer time. I asked you to stay here not really to take care of my dad, but to keep an eye on the others and not let them get close to my dad and do anything bad to him again until I come back. Can you do that?" When Shen Youyou said this, she seemed to have habitually returned to the seriousness of her previous life when assigning tasks to the team members.

"Yes! Miss, I will stay by the master's side all the time and won't let even a fly get close to him!" Chuntao clenched her little hands tightly, as if she felt she was doing something great.

Everything the young lady instructed was of the utmost importance. Furthermore, I heard from the soldiers outside that it was the young lady who saved their master overnight, and that the young lady was the reincarnation of the little girl in front of the Bodhisattva. Since I was so stupid, I had to listen to the young lady in everything!

After dinner, Shen Youyou called a soldier in from outside, "Hey young man, I want to personally make some of my father's favorite hometown food. Please find someone to take me to the kitchen." He knew that the person standing guard at the door should be his father's confidant, but he still had to be on guard against others.

If he had just told them to go to the kitchen and make ginseng soup, which other military doctors or apprentices could also do, it would have been a bit too contrived. So Shen Youyou directly suggested making some food from his hometown. That way, others wouldn't be able to make it, and even if they could, it wouldn't taste the same as what General Shen had been eating since he was a child.

Shen Youyou still had to do it herself. She used another excuse to go to the kitchen to avoid alerting the enemy.

He called another soldier and told him to take the tray and take the young lady to the kitchen. He was to do whatever the young lady instructed without having to report back to avoid wasting time.

Shen Youyou followed the soldier all the way to the kitchen and secretly memorized the route in her mind. She didn't think that she could solve the case like Bao Gong and get to the bottom of it and catch the murderer in one go.

It may also be necessary to come over several times to check secretly, so secretly memorize the route so that you can come over quietly to check it out later.

At the entrance, there are two rows of more than twenty large stoves, which have to supply three meals a day for tens of thousands of people in the entire military camp. There is a soldier in front of each stove, and more than twenty cooks are strong and burly. They are bare-chested and swing their arms in front of the big pots with big iron shovels to stir-fry the dishes for lunch.

Further ahead, there are more than twenty large stoves. Further in, there are a dozen smaller stoves.

Seeing Shen Youyou's puzzled expression, the soldier took the initiative to explain, "Those in front are the messes for us ordinary brothers. This side is the mess for the general, major general, deputy general, vanguard, and scouts. The brothers cook on time, but the generals are too busy to take care of meals, so they cook separately. Beyond the mess is the camp for the wounded and the military doctors. Because this side is close to the water source and the mess, it is very convenient to use water and fire."

Seeing Shen Youyou looking around with a scrutinizing look, the soldier explained to her everything he saw around him.

"Miss, if you want to cook for the general, please use the small stove inside. I will light a fire for you." The soldier said as he was about to get firewood.

"Wait a minute! I see that the cooks are all busy. Let's not cause them any more trouble. How about you take me to the pharmacy? I suddenly remembered that my father needs a medicine. I'll go ask Doctor Feng."

Because the story of how Shen Youyou scraped and sutured the general yesterday had spread throughout the barracks among the other military doctors, they all knew of Shen Youyou's superb medical skills and believed her words without a doubt. "Okay, Miss, this way!" The soldier led Shen Youyou to the military doctor's tent.

Passing by a group of tents, he saw a group of apprentices in shorts squatting in front of medicine pots, watching the fire boil medicine. An idea came to him, and Shen Youyou walked over and asked, "Brother, my father, which brother boiled the medicine for General Shen?"

The young man who was asked glanced at Shen Youyou, knowing that the person asking the question must be the general's daughter, Miss Shen.

He stood up and replied, "We are never responsible for the general's medicine. It is all prepared by Doctor Wang and others. The general also has a separate medicine jar, which is right in front." He pointed with his finger, and Shen Youyou walked over. It happened that the medicine had not been prepared yet.

The medicine jar was cold and placed aside. She opened it and found a little medicine residue inside. She scraped a little and put it under her nose to sniff. Suddenly, her eyebrows twitched. Then she looked at the bottom of the jar again, stunned by the thought. Seeing that she was still, the soldier came over and asked her, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

Shen Youyou came back to her senses and saw that the medicine boys around her were all looking at her directly or indirectly out of the corner of their eyes. "No, I just suddenly thought about how my father has to drink such bitter medicine every day. I feel very uncomfortable. I just wish I couldn't take the medicine for my father when he's sick."

"Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease! General, I'm not afraid of a little hardship as long as I can get better!" The soldier admired the general's character very much.

"When the general was stabbed, he didn't even say a word when the military doctor applied medicine to him. If it were me, I would have cried for my parents!" He touched his head embarrassedly.

Shen Youyou held the lid of the medicine jar in her right hand and casually brushed her hair with it. She sniffed lightly with the tip of her nose, and her eyes lit up. She found it!

She casually put the lid back on the medicine jar and said, "I want to make a medicinal meal for my father. Can I take this medicine jar?"

"Female, feel free to use it." A medicine boy replied to her, "Anyway, Military Doctor Feng hasn't said anything about making medicine for the general today, so this is empty anyway. Feel free to use it, female."

"I still need some Chinese medicine. Who can I ask for it?"

"Miss, just go and ask Doctor Wang for it. He has to register all the Chinese medicines you take." After the medicine boy replied, he squatted down silently and looked at the medicine jar in front of him.
