The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

"Madam." The old woman was cleaning up the kitchen when she saw her coming to salute.

Shen Yijia waved her hand and asked, "Is there any ginger?"

"There is a small piece, do you need it? The old slave will bring it for you."

"it is good."

The rain outside was getting lighter, but there was no tendency to stop. Shen Yijia stood under the eaves and stretched out her hand to catch the water for a while, and suddenly she caught sight of the sundries that the old wives had gathered together, broken porcelain pieces and rotten leaves inside. , has everything, it is really complicated.

She frowned and crouched down, pulled out something, and was about to pick it up and take a closer look.

When the old woman came back and saw her action, she hurriedly stopped: "Oh, ma'am, that thing can't be touched, it's all moldy. If you get your hands dirty carefully, this old slave will take it out and throw it away."

It's also to blame that the little grandson in her family has been sick these days. She is busy going back to take care of her after preparing meals every day.

If it doesn't matter at ordinary times, but the master bumps into her, if she thinks she is cheating and cheating, how can she live.

Shen Yijia's mouth twitched, and she picked it up and hid it behind her: "Just take the rest and throw it away."

"This" the old woman gave Shen Yijia a strange look, not understanding what she wanted that thing for, and she couldn't eat it.

Shen Yijia waved angrily: "Hurry up, you are not needed here."

Seeing that she was impatient, the old woman responded with sincerity and fear, and did not dare to linger, so she picked up the clutter she had packed and left.

Only then did Shen Yijia take out what was hidden behind her. It was the size of her fist. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it became. This, why does it look like the potatoes she ate in the courtyard?

However, potatoes, potatoes, how can you still grow green and sprout? You can't eat the sprouts. It's a pity that she washed the potatoes in the rain.

This was the first time she saw potatoes in more than a year. It reminded her of sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes. She smacked her lips and wanted to eat them.

In the past life, when she was hungry and couldn't get enough, she relied on stealing from the kitchen. No, she took sweet potatoes or potatoes and baked them to eat. It was sweet and fragrant.

"What are you doing here?" A gentle voice came from behind, pulling Shen Yijia out of her fantasy of eating roasted sweet potatoes.

Song Jingchen didn't see Shen Yijia when she came out of the bath, she thought she was angry and hid, only after asking the servants did she find out that she came to the small kitchen.

What else can I do in the kitchen? Due to some indescribable thought, he hurriedly looked for it, but he saw her staring at Luo Yu in a daze.

"I'll cook ginger soup for you." Asked by Song Jingchen, Shen Yijia also remembered what she did in the small kitchen.

She put the little potato aside and was about to pick up the piece of ginger that the old lady put there. Song Jingchen's eyelids jumped, and he took her hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"

He really didn't know him either, but looking at Shen Yijia just now, he should have known this thing.

"Potatoes." Shen Yijia glanced at it: "It's a pity that I can't eat it, and I don't know who was so careless, since it was spoiled."

Shouldn't the food in the city be very precious now? How can it be so wasteful.

"Potato?" Song Jingchen just wanted to divert her attention, but now he is really interested. He picked up the potato and looked at it carefully for a while, making sure that he had not seen it before, and reconfirmed, "Is this thing edible?"

Shen Yijia was taken aback, the beautiful lady has never eaten potatoes? Isn't this a very common ingredient? .

She carefully observed Song Jingchen's expression, and after confirming that he was not on purpose, she nodded again and again: "Of course, at our place."

"Um?"

In response to what she said wrongly, Shen Yijia hurriedly changed her words: "Well, I read in a book that this thing is called a potato. It can not only be eaten as a dish, but can also be used as a staple food. But it cannot be eaten if it sprouts, it is poisonous."

"Oh, by the way, I don't know where that book went, and I don't remember the title." Afraid of Song Jingchen's questioning, Shen Yijia added another sentence.

It shouldn't be too clumsy to cover up, Song Jingchen didn't expose her, and asked tentatively, "Can people eat it too?"

Shen Yijia: What kind of strange question do you have? Isn't she human?

Also, people can't eat, so what can they eat? ghost?

She twitched the corners of her mouth and said decisively, "Yes, yes."

Thinking of something, her eyes lit up: "Xianggong, what do you mean?"

Knowing that the girl had guessed what she meant, Song Jingchen pursed her lips and nodded: "I just don't know where this potato came from?"

If it can be found, can it temporarily solve the problem of food rations in the city? As for whether it is really edible, since Shen Yijia said yes, Song Jingchen naturally believed her.

This question made Shen Yijia stumped, how did she know where it came from, and the excitement just now faded a little.

She recounted how she discovered the potato, and Song Jingchen immediately summoned the old woman to question her.

The old woman was taken to the kitchen by Nanfeng in a confused manner. When asked about the potatoes, she thought there was something wrong with the thing, and tremblingly explained how the potatoes came from.

It turned out that it was sent by the people of Xunyang City when Shangguan Han was in a coma a few days ago, and was assigned to this small kitchen by the housekeeper Wan, but the old woman had never seen it before, so she naturally dared not use it to cook.

I also specifically asked the housekeeper, but the housekeeper also said that he didn’t know, because the things everyone sent was too complicated, most of which were wild vegetables or something.

When the mother-in-law asked the housekeeper Wan, he was surprised that he almost made a big mistake, and he took the mother-in-law to re-check the food that was distributed, and found that this was the only one that he didn't know.

The two also guessed whether it was someone who sent it wrong, and they didn't take it seriously when they told them not to eat it.

Song Jingchen frowned when he heard this, and then summoned Steward Wan. Butler Wan's words were the same as that of the old woman, that this potato was given by someone else.

In the end, Song Jingchen had no choice but to tell Steward Wan to take someone to find the people who sent the potatoes.

He also plans to send another person to the mountain to look for it, but it is estimated that the rain will not stop for a while, and the matter of sending someone to look for it can only be temporarily stranded.

Shen Yijia knew how lucky Song Jingchen was in order to solve the food problem during this period. After returning to the room after dinner, she took the initiative to tell what she knew.

In fact, she didn't know much. Guessing it must be cheap, otherwise, the compound would not be able to eat anywhere else, including sweet potatoes.

If it's cheap, it shouldn't be difficult to grow, right?

As soon as she finished speaking, she was hugged by Song Jingchen unexpectedly.

Shen Yijia was stunned: "What, what's wrong?"

These days, the beautiful lady doesn't know what's going on. She doesn't even hug her when she sleeps. It's too sudden.

"Thank you." Song Jingchen's face was still tired, but the corners of his brows and eyes were gentle.
