The next day was a sunny day, and Jiang Yanyi slept until noon before getting up.
After being on the boat for days, my mind was extremely tense and my body was still very tired.
Huo Jianjia fetched some water to wash her face: "The master is finally awake!"
This small tent was temporarily built by Feng Shuo last night for her and the two little girls she brought with her to live in.
Jiang Yanyi went over to wash his face while yawning. Chenyu also brought over breakfast from Huotouying. There was a smile on her dark face, as if something happy had happened to her.
Jiang Yanyi couldn't help but ask her: "Why are you smiling foolishly all the time?"
Chenyu placed a bowl of barley porridge and two dishes on a low table, and said with a smile: "When the soldiers in the army learned that it was you who transported the herbs from a long distance, they were all very grateful to you. My sister Jianjia and I went to the fireman's camp this morning, and the fireman forced us to eat two eggs."
Jiang Yanyi smiled and said, "Two eggs make you so happy?"
"I'm not happy about the eggs." Chenyu had been smiling since she entered the tent: "It's the praise and gratitude of the soldiers here that made me feel that it was worth it to follow the boss to the south."
Huo Jianjia also nodded. She racked her brains to come up with an analogy: "It's just like when I was escorting goods with my father in the past. Once we successfully delivered the goods, the money given by the host was secondary. But when the host treated us warmly and people in the martial arts world praised our escort company, I was very happy in my heart."
Jiang Yanyi smiled and said, "Two silly girls."
She had no appetite early in the morning and only drank the bowl of barley porridge and the two fried side dishes. The cook of Huotouying probably prepared them according to the tastes of the generals and added a lot of oil. The small green vegetables were almost soaked in oil. Jiang Yanyi felt greasy and did not touch her chopsticks at all.
After breakfast, she asked about Feng Shuo and learned that Feng Shuo was discussing matters with the generals in his own military tent.
Last night, Jiang Yanyi heard something from Feng Shuotou. There will be a head-on confrontation with Minghan Kingdom soon. The nerves of the entire military camp are tense and no one can relax.
Feng Shuo said that he would take time out today to send her back to Hengzhou Palace. The conditions in the army were too harsh, so he let her stay in the palace temporarily for the next few days.
Knowing that Feng Shuo was still busy, Jiang Yanyi planned to go to Huotouying to see what food she could find. She wanted to make some soup for Feng Shuo to nourish him. She hadn't seen him for half a year, and he had been running around on the battlefield, so he had lost a lot of weight compared to before.
Everyone in the Huotou Camp of the Hengzhou camp was a stranger, but they all respected Jiang Yanyi very much. After Jiang Yanyi explained his purpose to the chief of the Huotou Camp, the chief quickly cleared a pot for Jiang Yanyi.
When Jiang Yanyi went to the warehouse to check the ingredients, he was surprised to find a bucket of lively shrimps.
“Where are the shrimps?”
She had been here for so long and even opened a restaurant in Xizhou, but she had never seen shrimps for sale in the market.
The head steward said, "Hengzhou is by the sea, shrimps are not a rare commodity here, fishermen often cast their nets to catch shrimps and bring them to the market to sell."
Jiang Yanyi was happy but also thought it was a pity that transportation was not well developed in ancient times, otherwise these fresh live shrimps would have been snatched up if they were transported to other states to sell.
However, after the war, the idea of opening another Ruyi Tower in Hengzhou was more determined than ever.
By then, we can launch seafood hotpot, which will definitely become a major feature.
She picked out a dozen and planned to deal with them herself, but the manager asked two cooks to help her clean the shrimps.
Jiang Yanyi saved a lot of trouble by simply boiling water and using dried scallops and pork bones to make broth.
The cleaned shrimp has white, tender and delicate meat. After the shrimp thread is pulled out from the back, there is a large groove running across the head and tail. The orange rings on the edge are particularly pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Yanyi sprinkled salt on the shrimp meat, grabbed some cornstarch and mixed it well, then cut some lean pork, added salt and cornstarch, and also added some sesame oil.
It is easy to overcook lean pork. Cornstarch can keep the meat smooth and tender, while sesame oil can lock in the moisture in the meat.
After the broth was ready, Jiang Yanyi put the shrimp and lean pork into the soup to cook. The fire was burning brightly, the casserole was bubbling, the hot steam pushed up the lid, and the sand pottery made a dull collision sound.
Several firemen who were helping to prepare the food would occasionally look over here, sniffing their noses and whispering to their companions:
"Our unmarried princess is so pretty, just like the fairy in the painting!"
"Just smell this soup, it smells so good that my mouth is watering. Our prince is so lucky!"
"Yes, there are a lot of wounded soldiers at the military doctor's place. There is no medicine and they can only endure it. If they survive, they will save their lives. Who knows what kind of illness they will suffer in the future. If they can't survive, they will die. Fortunately, our princess sent medicine here. You haven't heard that the Fan family hijacked a ship in the middle of the night on the way. They escaped death!"
There was a sudden gasp in the Huotou Camp.
The cook who was speaking was very pleased with the shocked expressions of his companions, and immediately said, "Our princess was on the boat at the time, and she was thinking that although she had not yet married our prince, the engagement letter had been issued and the wedding date had been set, so she was already half of the Liaonan Palace. If she fell into the hands of the bad guys, she would definitely become our prince's weak spot, so she simply jumped into the river!"
There was another sound of people gasping for breath, and the other people in the Huotou Camp said that this was too dangerous, and they admired Jiang Yanyi even more.
Jiang Yanyi's stove was in the corner, quite far away, so he couldn't hear what the group of firemen were talking about.
Huo Jianjia practiced martial arts and had excellent hearing. She immediately repeated what they said to Jiang Yanyi. Jiang Yanyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is too outrageous. How could I jump into the river?"
Huo Huo Jian said: "Apart from this point, everything else is pretty much the same as the situation at that time."
Thinking back to that day, Huo Jianjia still felt aggrieved: "I have to take more boat rides next time. I can't get seasick again. If I hadn't been so seasick that day, I would have been able to twist his head off no matter how many people came!"
Huo Jianjia was helping Jiang Yanyi wash mushrooms. She got so angry that she tore the mushroom cap off.
Jiang Yanyi quickly rescued the remaining mushrooms, "Okay, okay, I'll take you on more boat rides in the future. Jianjia, please let these mushrooms go."
Huo Jianjia saw the mushrooms that she had torn and scratched the back of her head embarrassedly.
Jiang Yanyi washed the mushrooms, cut them into thin slices, and put them in to cook with the pork and shrimp when the soup in the casserole boiled again.
The flavor of shrimp soup lies in its freshness, and mushrooms are also an ingredient that enhances the flavor, but the freshness of plants has a more elegant and mellow fragrance than that of seafood. Pork balances the fatigue caused by the excessive freshness of the two on the taste buds, making the soup taste richer and mellower.
After the shrimp and mushroom soup is out of the pot, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions into the soup bowl. The soup will be clear and fragrant.
After Jiang Yanyi had someone deliver it to Feng Shuo, he was about to return to his temporary military tent when he saw a soldier in tattered armor running into the Fire Camp in a hurry and asking the chief officer, "Doctor Hu doesn't have enough medicine jars for decocting medicine. Does the Fire Camp have any utensils for decocting medicine? Can you lend me some?"
"All the boilers in the Fire Camp are in use. There are only some earthenware jars over there. If you want them, I'll ask someone to bring them to you." said the head manager.
The soldier nodded quickly, "Of course I want it. If there are extra people in the Fire Camp, I would like to borrow a few to help boil the medicine. Since the medicine arrived yesterday, Doctor Hu and his apprentices have been busy until now. They haven't closed their eyes at all. They are really exhausted."
The chief steward said in embarrassment: "There are only so many people in the Fire Camp, and the army is waiting for dinner. I can't spare any manpower here."
Seeing how busy the firemen were, the soldier nodded. He and the other brothers who came with him took the earthenware jars and were about to go back when they heard a beautiful female voice: "I'm free, so I can go over and help for a while."
The soldier turned around quickly and saw Jiang Yanyi walking leisurely from the back of the fire camp. The garlands embroidered with gold thread on the apricot-colored gauze sparkled like stars as she walked, and the hem of her skirt was slightly lifted by the wind. She was truly stunningly beautiful.
The soldier was stunned and only came to his senses in a hurry after being pushed by his companions behind him.
Several of his companions burst into laughter, and the head of the Fire Camp quickly scolded him with a stern face: "This is the girl from the Chu family who brought the herbs. Don't be rude!"
Upon learning of Jiang Yanyi's identity, the soldiers immediately calmed down and apologized to Jiang Yanyi: "I didn't know you were Miss Chu. I really deserve to die. I hope Miss Chu will forgive me."
Jiang Yanyi remained silent. Huo Jianjia remembered what Jiang Yanyi had said before, that when she was silent, it meant that she wanted him to answer for her. She immediately said to the soldiers with a stern face, "No need to waste time. Just lead the way."
Several soldiers no longer dared to look at Jiang Yanyi, and hurriedly carried four or five earthenware jars towards the wounded camp.
***
Doctor Hu was quite surprised by Jiang Yanyi's arrival. His eyes were swollen from not sleeping all night. When he saw Jiang Yanyi, he smiled: "Old Li was right. He said from the beginning that you are a girl who can achieve great things."
Jiang Yanyi said, "Doctor Hu is overpraising me."
Doctor Hu waved his hand and said, "No matter how much money you make from business, I, Old Hu, don't think it's a big deal, but this time, I hope Miss Chu will accept Old Hu's greetings!"
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Jiang Yanyi. His tiredness made his eyes look particularly vicissitudes. "It was you, Miss Chu, who saved these boys' lives. If they can return alive, their parents at home won't have to see them off."
The wounded soldiers had gauze wrapped around their bodies, some were holding bowls of medicine in their hands, and some were lying down and unable to move, but they were all thanking Jiang Yanyi.
Jiang Yanyi quickly stepped forward and helped Doctor Hu up: "What are you doing? These soldiers followed the prince to resist foreign enemies and defend their country. They are heroes of the Xuan Dynasty. I just did what I should do."
Doctor Hu shook his head and said, "Whether it is Miss Chu's responsibility or not, everyone knows it. It is also a blessing for the prince to have Miss Chu's help."
"Doctor Hu, several soldiers inside are seriously injured. Why not add two more coins of Astragalus when decocting the medicine?" The curtain of the military tent not far away was lifted, and a young girl with long braids came out carrying a basin of water. She was dressed neatly and had a hint of arrogance in her eyes, as if the word "capable" was written on her face.
Doctor Hu didn't have time to talk to Jiang Yanyi, and replied: "Then add another two coins."
When the girl saw Jiang Yanyi, she was obviously stunned. Although she only glanced at Jiang Yanyi and then looked away, it was clear that her eyes were looking at Jiang Yanyi from head to toe.
A woman's sixth sense made Jiang Yanyi feel that this woman seemed to have some subtle hostility towards her.
After watching the other party walk away with the basin of water, Jiang Yanyi asked Doctor Hu: "Who is that girl?"
Doctor Hu said, "She is a doctor at a local clinic in Hengzhou. Although she is a girl, she is as capable as you. She runs the entire clinic by herself."
Jiang Yanyi didn't ask any more questions. When he went to help decoct the medicine, he whispered to Chenyu to secretly ask people for information about the female doctor.
Chenyu went out to pass medicine to the wounded soldiers and came back with a lot of information. She avoided people and reported to Jiang Yanyi: "The female doctor's surname is An. It is said that she has excellent medical skills. After Hengzhou went to war with Minghan State, she took the lead in donating all the medicinal materials in the pharmacy to help treat the wounded soldiers in the barracks. She was deeply respected by the soldiers."
"But now, you are the woman the soldiers respect the most."
As a woman, Chenyu could naturally notice the subtle attitude of the female doctor towards her employer, so her first impression of her was particularly bad.
Chenyu failed to get any useful information out of her. This was Jiang Yanyi's first time meeting the female doctor. She couldn't figure out why she was disliked by the doctor, so she didn't waste her energy on this matter and concentrated on helping Doctor Hu decoct medicine.
Huo Jianjia was like a living radar. As long as the female doctor came over here, she could accurately scan her with her eyes in an instant.
Compared to the subtle scrutiny and hostility in the female doctor's eyes towards Jiang Yanyi, Huo Jianjia's eyes could be described as murderous.
No matter how calm the female doctor was, she felt a little creepy after being stared at by Huo Jianjia for so long, and she didn't dare to hang around here anymore.
Jiang Yanyi looked at Huo Jianjia with a look of amusement: "Jianjia, stop scaring me."
Huo Jianjia said, "Boss, don't underestimate those who dare to use knives on living people. Saving people and killing people all depends on one's thoughts."
Jiang Yanyi was quite surprised that Huo Jianjia could say such a thing.
She was just about to say something to Huo Jianjia when Doctor Hu, who was scraping the rotten flesh from a wounded soldier's wound, asked her to bring some hot water.
When Jiang Yanyi helped to bring the hot water, he saw a wounded soldier with rotten flesh on his arm being held down by several soldiers. Doctor Hu pulled out a dagger and gestured at the wound with rotten flesh. He also comforted the wounded soldier: "Bear with it, we have medicine now. Just scrape off the rotten flesh and wait for new flesh to grow on the wound."
When Doctor Hu was about to start the operation, Jiang Yanyi hurriedly called out, "Wait."
Doctor Hu turned around. He was in a bad temper to begin with, and he was exhausted after a night of hard work. If someone else interrupted him at this moment, he would probably be scolded. When he saw that it was Jiang Yanyi, he calmed down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yan pointed at the dagger in Doctor Hu's hand and asked, "Has this dagger been disinfected?"
Doctor Hu and the soldiers who were holding the wounded looked at each other in bewilderment. Doctor Hu asked, "What is disinfection?"
Jiang Yanyi felt a tingling sensation on her scalp when she thought about the wounded soldiers in the barracks using unsterilized knives and utensils to treat their wounds. She said, "When you use this dagger to scrape the rotten flesh, scald it with boiling water first, and it will be disinfected."
Doctor Hu said, "I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have never heard of such a method."
Jiang Yanyi could only make up the same story as last time, "I saw doctors in the capital do this before. It is said that after scraping off the rotten flesh in this way, the wound is less likely to fester again."
When she was decocting the medicine just now, she had heard that many wounded soldiers had their wounds fester and rotten within a few days after the rotten flesh was dug out. Now she thought that the infection must have been caused by the knife not being disinfected.
It wouldn't be a big deal to just scald it with boiling water. When Doctor Hu heard what Jiang Yanyi said, he immediately prepared to ask someone to bring a basin of boiling water.
The female doctor surnamed An came over at some point and said coldly, "In my early years, I was fortunate enough to go to the capital to treat a nobleman, and I also discussed medical skills with doctors from several major pharmacies in the capital, but I have never heard of the method Miss Chu mentioned. Miss Chu, why don't you tell me which doctor in the capital did you see doing this."
This is a bit aggressive.
Although Jiang Yanyi was just making it up, she had experienced a lot of ups and downs, so how could she be intimidated by her words? She turned around and looked at the female doctor named An with a half-smile and said, "I don't know the name of this girl. I don't know her face very well, and I can't remember her name."
Doctor Hu saw that the two of them were not getting along, so he quickly tried to smooth things over and said to Jiang Yanyi, "This is Doctor An from Hengzhou Renyi Hall."
This time, Jiang Yanyi didn't even give Doctor Hu face, and directly said, "I haven't heard of it."
An Suqiu probably had never been humiliated like this before, and she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Yanyi continued to ask her leisurely, "Doctor An, please tell me about the doctors in the capital who discussed medical skills with you. I grew up in the capital since I was a child. Although I always troubled the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to come and treat me when I had a headache or a fever, I still know a few doctors from the folks."
Jiang Yanyi said this deliberately to block the other party. Even if she mentioned the names of a few folk doctors, she said that the ones who treated him were imperial physicians. Doesn't that mean that imperial physicians would scald the knives with boiling water before using them
The prestige of folk doctors cannot be compared with that of imperial physicians.
An Suqiu was so blocked that she couldn't say a word, but she still said stubbornly: "There are so many injured soldiers in the barracks. According to what Miss Chu said, they have to be scalded with boiling water before scraping the rotten flesh. How long will it take? I know Miss Chu has good intentions, but with this time, she can save another soldier."
"After the rotten flesh was dug out, it became festering and inflamed again. The wound continues to fester. Not to mention whether it is a waste of effort, this is a matter of life and death, Doctor An, please don't be rash." Jiang Yanyi's tone was harsh, but every word he said was like a slap in An Suqiu's face.
An Suqiu's eyes turned red, and she said, "I am not talented or educated enough to help in the army," then she covered her face and left.
Along the way, wounded soldiers called her in a low voice: "Doctor An..."
The wounded soldier that Doctor Hu was going to help dig out the rotten flesh for treatment also said to Jiang Yanyi: "Miss Chu, Doctor An is kind-hearted. This is how the military doctors used to treat injuries..."
Jiang Yanyi didn't need to reply personally. Huo Jianjia and Chenyu, who were decocting medicine inside and heard the quarrel outside, ran out. Huo Jianjia retorted expressionlessly:
"Why don't you use better treatment methods? The wound healed and festered again, where are all the herbs? How much time does it take to scald a knife with boiling water? Other doctors hope to improve their medical skills, but you, Doctor An, put all the methods in front of her, but she was too lazy to use them. It's a pity that you still speak for her! It's better to kill a few more enemy soldiers on the battlefield and be hacked to death than to be tortured to death by injuries and illnesses."
After Huo Jianjia finished yelling, the wounded soldiers didn't dare to say a word.
At this time, a soldier came over with a few pages of prescription and handed them to Doctor Hu: "Doctor Hu, Doctor An packed up and left the barracks. She asked me to give you this prescription and said that she will not be responsible for the prince's medicine in the future."
Jiang Yanyi curled the corners of his mouth, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
She said that Doctor An seemed to be at odds with her in every way, and it turned out that this was the root of the problem.
She asked Doctor Hu: "Dr. An has ever treated the prince?"
No matter how slow Doctor Hu was, he finally realized why An Suqiu was acting abnormally today.
He looked at Jiang Yanyi apologetically, "No, no, half a month ago, the prince was injured. I diagnosed his pulse and wrote a prescription. However, I didn't have many people to use, the temperature of the decoction was not right, and there were wounded soldiers who needed to be watched all the time, so I gave the task of changing the medicine for the prince to that girl. She...she is possessed by a ghost. I hope Miss Chu will not take it personally."
Doctor Hu changed the way he addressed Jiang Yanyi, which already contained a hint of pleading. He was a good senior and was happy to see promising young people.
An Suqiu has superb medical skills at a young age, which he admires very much. He really doesn't want An Suqiu to go astray.
Jiang Yanyi smiled faintly: "Why should I bother with her? There are not enough military doctors in Hengzhou, so we need to find some more doctors."
Doctor Hu looked at Jiang Yanyi's bright eyes and eyebrows, and for the first time he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
What she meant was that since An Suqiu had left, she would find someone to fill the vacancy, and An Suqiu should forget about retreating to advance and then come back.
This was the best possible outcome. Doctor Hu bowed to Jiang Yanyi again and said, "I would like to thank Miss Chu on behalf of that girl."
After this incident, Jiang Yanyi was in no mood to stay in the military camp any longer. It was already noon, and she didn't even have lunch, nor did she go to see Feng Shuo. She took Huo Jianjia and Chenyu directly and left the military camp in a carriage.
Jiang Yanyi didn't say a word along the way. How touched she was by the river last night, how angry she was now.
What the hell!
Just because you are a little bit of garlic, you can covet her man
Jiang Yanyi's face turned ugly, and even Huo Jianjia, who was usually the least able to read other people's faces, didn't dare to speak rashly.
Yang Xiu and Bing Shao found an ordinary inn to stay at yesterday. When they learned that Jiang Yanyi had come, they hurriedly asked the innkeeper to book a room for Jiang Yanyi.
Jiang Yanyi only gave them one instruction, asking them to pass on a message to the managers of shops and restaurants in other prefectures, asking them to pay a large sum of money to invite a doctor to the Hengzhou camp. After giving the instructions, he went back to his room and kept to himself.
Yang Xiu asked Huo Jianjia and Chen Yu, "What happened to the boss?"
Chen Yu said: "There is a bitch who doesn't know her own weight and is disgusting to the boss."
Yang Xiu and Bing Shao were both confused, so Chen Yu told them about the female doctor in the military camp.
Huo Jianjia thought about it seriously and asked them: "I'll go get the person..."
"No, this isn't something that can be solved by chopping off one's head." Chenyu quickly interrupted her.
Huo Jianjia said, "I'm not talking about chopping off his head. I'm talking about if I go beat him up secretly, will the boss be happy?"
Before they could reply, Jiang Yanyi's door suddenly opened from the inside. "What are you doing? What's the big deal? There are a lot of fish and shrimps here by the sea. I'll go to the kitchen and make you something delicious."
Several people watched Jiang Yanyi's back as he walked down the stairs. Bing Shao, who was always the most silent, said, "The boss seems to be having problems."
Yang Xiu nodded and said, "She's probably still angry."
Chen Yu said: "At times like this, someone has to go and coax the boss."
Bing Shao said in a sullen voice: "How can anyone be coaxed into submission?"
I’m afraid that the one who is supposed to coax others doesn’t know about it at the moment.
*****
Hengzhou Camp.
After Feng Shuo discussed the battlefield layout with his generals, he received the shrimp and mushroom soup that Jiang Yanyi had previously stewed.
He was a little happy in his heart, but he couldn't taste anything when he put it in his mouth. He frowned and asked Xing Yao: "She left the barracks?"
Xing Yao thought of the message reported by the people below and nodded hesitantly.
Feng Shuo was puzzled. She had clearly agreed last night that she would accompany her to the palace today, so why did she suddenly change her mind
