My Fantastic Chef Wife - Chapter 405

It was getting dark, Ye Xiaoxian was alone in the yard, his heart was lonely and frightened.

Thinking of the man at the alley, thinking that someone might be watching her secretly, she checked the door several times.

The gate of the yard is fenced and not too tall. It is easy to climb in.

She put some broken wood in front of the courtyard door. If someone came in through the wall, she could hear it inside.

After that, she found another piece of rough wood and reinforced the room door from inside.

Although she also knows that if someone really wants to attack her, this work is not particularly good, but it is always good to prevent it in advance, at least in the end can understand, or have time to call for help.

After doing this, she lay down.

It was very cold at night, and there was nothing to cover in the house. Tomorrow morning, I had to go out and buy a quilt.

She curled up in bed, thought of Xiao Baoshan again, imagined that she was still in his arms, and thought of his warm embrace, and then fell asleep confusedly.

…

There was no danger this night.

When I woke up, it was already dawning, there was a roar of chickens outside, and some people living nearby were talking loudly.

Hearing people’s voices is like returning to the world and returning to a normal life.

Ye Xiaoxian was not so scared anymore. She also got up, went to the yard to hang a bucket of water, simply groomed it, and began to cook pancakes.

She is now making the equivalent of the southern pancake fruit, with some dried beef in it, the noodles in the middle are fried very crispy, and the outside is sprinkled with a little sauce.

Yesterday I prepared in a hurry, some ingredients were not, but with her craftsmanship, this pancake was still very good.

Because it was the first day, she didn’t do much, only fifty or so, and then she moved to the outside alley with the small table at home to set up a stall.

There are not many people in this street outside. From time to time, one or two people pass by. When they see someone selling pancakes, they stop to look at them, but they don’t really say they want to buy them.

Ye Xiaoxian really had no idea.

If no one comes to buy it, the pancake will be cold.

Waiting for another quarter of an hour, a little figure came in front of the stall, still the little boy of yesterday.

The little boy looked at the pancakes on her stand. She thought, anyway, no one is buying it now. It is better to give it to the little boy. He also bought a cabbage from other people last night.

“For you!” Ye Xiaoxian said.

The little boy took it, but did not eat it immediately, but ran back to his house.

After a while, he led his grandma out again.

Ye Xiaoxian can’t figure it out, why does the little boy have to move his grandma out every time he feeds this little boy?

After the grandmother of the little boy came out and saw Ye Xiaoxian set up a stall here alone, she walked and said: “Girl, why are you selling pies here alone?”

“Yeah, it’s near here,” Ye Xiaoxian said again, “Grandma, do you have breakfast, come one.”

The grandmother didn’t want it, and then said: “There are few people here, so you might as well go to the street to sell it, there may be more people on the street.”

Ye Xiaoxian pointed in the east direction: “Is it over there?”

“Yeah, there are many shops over there. Although there are few people now, there will be more people when the sun rises.” Grandma finished, and said, “Let wood help you move things over.”

“This…” Ye Xiaoxian looked at the boy named Wood in front of him.

“Don’t see him grow small, his strength can be greater.” Granny said.

Ye Xiaoxian cleaned it up. She took the pancakes and moved the small table with wood.

Sure enough, the wood looked small, lifted the small table effortlessly, and he walked very fast, and soon came to Ye Xiaoxian’s front.

The grandmother said to Wood again: “Wood, do you remember to help your aunt shout, no one buys without shouting.”

Wood just said a sentence: “Got it!”

…

Ye Xiaoxian and Wood quickly set up a stall in the street direction, and Wood was really obedient. His grandma let him shout, and he really opened his throat and shouted:

“Sell pancakes, sell pancakes!”

Ye Xiaoxian originally felt lonely and helpless when she was setting up the booth alone. Now that she has more wood, she suddenly feels a lot more confident, as if she has almost integrated into the capital.

Granny Wood was right, and the stalls on the street had a much better effect. Coupled with the wood shouting, someone bought her pancakes soon.

50 pancakes were sold out in only one hour.

A pancake sells for 5 renminbi, and a total of 150 renminbi. She still made some money out of the cost.

These 150 essays are not as good as a hairpin on her head. However, for her now, she can make a living.

After selling things, she took her little table and said to Wood: “Wood, Auntie is going to buy something. Do you want to follow me?”

The wood hesitated for a moment, not knowing if it was embarrassing, he quickly ran away and ignored Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian: “…”

Well, go for yourself.

Ye Xiaoxian went to buy a quilt for 50 renminbi, and bought some ingredients for tomorrow’s pancakes, and then went home.

She thinks, to make more pancakes tomorrow, it is best to fry them and sell them, otherwise the time after noon will be wasted.

…

Go to the capital and the palace.

The Empress Xiao is watching the twists and turns on the barracks.

These twists and turns are about the establishment of the remnant army in the original Mobei. There are about 500 surviving soldiers in the Mobei military barracks.

Empress Xiao sees these and only feels a headache.

Fortunately, Xiao Baoshan did not continue to go north, otherwise they would not be able to eat so many battles in Beiqing.

The Queen Mother Xiao heard that before Jing Feng died, she told Xiao Baoshan that his wife was dead, so Xiao Baoshan did not come to dig someone.

At the meeting of the group ministers that day, the empress dowager also ordered the group ministers to rotten Mrs. Xiao’s affairs in the capital and not to go out and tell people.

Therefore, those who pray should not know that Mrs. Xiao is still alive.

Thinking of this, Empress Xiao announced that Qin Ming entered the palace.

Qin Ming used to pretend to be a beggar in Mobei City, but after returning to Beiqing, he has returned to their secret cabinet in Beiqing and continued to work as a spy. The official position has also been promoted by two grades, and now there is no beggar at all.

“Have seen the queen mother!” Qin Ming saluted.

The Queen Mother Xiao put down the things on hand, and then looked at Qin Ming: “That Madam Xiao, how is it now? Let her kill herself?”

Qin Mingdao: “It’s true.”

“Have you funded her?”

“Back to the queen mother, I just gave her the clothes of our Beiqing woman, and there are no more.”

Empress Xiao laughed: “Oh? How many days has she lived alone?”

“It’s been five or six days since I returned to the Queen Mother.”

“Fifty-six days?” Empress Xiao thought for a while, and then laughed again: “For so long, five or six days, presumably she will starve to death now? It’s also a careless grief of the family, and did not explain it carefully, although the family said that she was asked to let her She lives on her own, but she can’t starve to death. If necessary, she can be fed some bread and buns. Didn’t you be a beggar in Mobei before? Give you a chance. How did she give you a favor? How to give her alms.”

“This…” Qin Ming was a little tangled about where to start.

“What’s wrong?” Queen Mother Xiao asked: “Do you have a good impression on her and can’t bear to do these things to her?”

Qin Mingdao said: “It’s not, but… Madam Xiao doesn’t need our alms at all. She can rely on herself, not only to maintain food and clothing, but also to make her life better.”

“Oh?” Queen Mother Xiao was curious: “How did she make a good living without a penny?”

Qin Ming talked about the clues he mastered one by one, including how Ye Xiaoxian pawned his gold hairpin, how to buy flour back, how to sell pancakes, and how to supplement the living things one by one.

The empress dowager was more and more shocked.

I heard that Daqi’s official families couldn’t get out of the door, but the second door didn’t make it. She only knew how to embroider and embroider at home and bring her children. Madam Xiao had such a skill, so she was not a spoiled person.

But think about it, after all, she is the wife of a general, and she is still in Mobei. She naturally has an instinct to survive.

No wonder Xiao Baoshan for her, can angrily slaughter them a military camp in Beiqing.

Empress Xiao had some interest in Ye Xiaoxian, but it was inconvenient to see her, so she said to Qin Ming: “Then keep staring at her, maybe one day Ai would like to see her.”

Qin Ming ordered his life.

Staring at someone is not a difficult thing for him at all, as long as he arranges, then he can know her every move.

…

After many days, Ye Xiaoxian’s pancake stall business is getting better and better.

She bought a small trolley, pulled the firewood and pots, and the ingredients. They were fried and sold. Sometimes the wood would come over to help shout, sometimes only herself.

When you are alone, there will always be some fear, but you can only clench your teeth and insist.

She thought she was sending porridge at the gate of Mobei city, insisting on the same thing, a meaningful thing day after day.

After all, she doesn’t rely on it at present, has no source of income, and doesn’t know how long she has to stay here, so she doesn’t look back, and can only go on like this.

She was only firm: no matter what the situation, she should make her life better.

When she first set up the stall, she only put it up until ten o’clock in the morning, and now her stall has intermittent business near noon.

Therefore, except for rainy days, she usually does not go home until noon.

She eats pancakes in the morning, goes back to cook noodles or rice at noon, cooks a little more rice porridge at night, and fry some pickles, and the days are over.

Wood often came over to help her, and she ate pancakes for wood and ate beef.

Grandma Wood thinks she is nice, and often gives her some vegetables grown in her yard.

That evening, Grandma Wood came over to deliver vegetables to Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian took it, and then asked Grandma Wood if she would drink porridge together. She cooked a little more tonight.
