Chapter 528 2 Fool Porphyry
Banyan came back during the Chinese New Year. Before that, he had been sent by Xu Li to check on the situation in the newly built town. He finally managed to come back in time for the Chinese New Year.
Xia Wanniang gave him a pill, and then he was taken away by Yunhe, along with a space ring.
She is always generous to her own people. If others are sincere to you, you should always be sincere in return.
Aunt Xiao looked at Banyan who had returned and asked, "Did Yunhe beat this child?"
Yun He had a question mark on his face: "Hmm?"
"Why else would you be laughing like an idiot?" Aunt Xiao looked at Banyan and always felt that there was something wrong with this child's brain.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Eve's mother and said, "Wan Niang, why don't you take a look at him? If not, give him a few injections."
Xia Wanniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, maybe he was just too happy after coming back."
The second fool, Porphyry: "Yes, yes, yes."
Aunt Xiao ignored him and said, "Since everyone is here, let's have the New Year's Eve dinner."
Xia Wanniang replaced the large round table in the space, and placed a small solar-powered induction cooker on the table.
When the weather is good, she asks Qiuhe and the others to put the small induction cooker in the sun to charge it, so that it can be used continuously for half a month without running out of power.
These small induction cookers are embedded in the large round table, and a small pot is placed on it.
When Shopkeeper Chang saw the rotating table and the small induction cooker, he looked at Xia Wanniang with sparkling eyes again.
Xia Wanniang simply ignored it and pretended not to see it.
There was a turntable on the table with all kinds of vegetables, and they could just pick up whatever they wanted to eat.
Aunt Xiao pointed to a row of relatively large deep pots at the back and said, "There are soup bases in them. There are clear soups, spicy soups, and sour soups. Whatever flavor you want, just scoop it into the small pot yourself."
Xia Wanniang had no choice but to order clear soup.
The seasonings were prepared by the children for her, and they were less spicy and less pungent.
Xia Wanniang looked at the seasoning in her child's bowl, which was spicier than hers: "Zisen, children can't eat spicy food. Let me switch with you."
Xiao Zisen: "Mom, grandma said that if you eat too much spicy food now, it will be bad for your sister."
The other children all nodded in unison: "Yes."
Xia Wanniang was helpless: "Okay."
After everyone was ready, Qiuhe taught them how to use the induction cooker.
Several children sat next to her and watched her operate it once and they learned it.
Now she doesn't have to stand up to pick up food. The children beside her feed her while she stands and all she has to do is eat.
The vegetables and meat for this hot pot were all exchanged by her from the space. Since it was the New Year, everyone could have a day off, so why should they work so hard?
She also gave big red envelopes to everyone in the family, including Shopkeepers Hong and Chang.
But they were so happy that their eyebrows were bent with smiles: "Oh, I didn't expect to get a red envelope from Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xia Wanniang also did not forget to give a small red envelope to the 50,000 soldiers of the Northwest Army, one or two taels of silver to each person. Although the amount was not much, she just hoped that they could all be safe.
This made the soldiers of the Northwest Army very happy. Not only did they get new clothes for the New Year, delicious fish and meat for the New Year's Eve dinner, but they also received red envelopes.
Xiao Chiye looked at the smiles on the soldiers' faces and couldn't help but laugh happily along with them.
"Thank you, General Xiao, and thank you, Princess Zhenguo. Happy New Year to the general and the princess!" The unison shouting of 50,000 soldiers was no joke.
The shouting could be heard from nearby places, and it frightened the people.
Xia Wanniang naturally would not show favoritism. Every official, yamen runner, and soldier guarding the city in the northwest received New Year gifts and red envelopes from her.
She also sent fireworks and firecrackers so that everyone could have a happy New Year.
What she didn't expect was that someone had reported the matter.
As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Qingfeng and Yunhe set off. She did not go to see them off as she felt too sad.
Qiu He came in a hurry with a strange expression on her face. Looking at her expression, he didn't know what to say.
Xia Wanniang looked at his troubled face and asked, "What's wrong? Not enough money? Was your property taken away? Was your business robbed?"
Qiu He's mouth twitched: "Can't you just hope for me to be okay?" Then he handed the letter in his hand to her: "Read it yourself!"
