Chapter 408 Return Gift
But there were still too many of them, so Chengfeng thought about it and asked the people from the kitchen to come and help.
There were five large barrels and one person was assigned to each barrel to hold the bowls, so the team moved a little faster.
"Master Chengfeng, we have only made five buckets, and I don't know if it will be enough for you."
"Ms. Mingshu, thank you for your kindness. It is a blessing for these rascals to be able to eat. If they don't get a turn, they can only blame themselves for being slow."
They were standing not far from the stall, so people in front could hear their conversation.
Several soldiers in the kitchen looked at each other and realized that there were only these five barrels.
So one bucket would require two hundred people, and they would be under a lot of pressure!
They had to shake the spoon in their hands again and again, otherwise those brothers who were not supposed to get a turn would be upset and find fault with them.
These are their valuable survival experiences in the military camp!
Zhou Mingshu looked at the five large barrels in front of her. She had thought about it beforehand and believed that these barrels were large and contained enough food, so they should be enough for a thousand people.
If it was really not enough, she also brought some dry powder and made it for them on the spot.
Anyway, she wanted to teach the kitchen chef how to cook a few dishes.
"Master Chengfeng, I also brought some kudzu root powder. I came here this time to explain the uses of kudzu root powder to you in detail."
They brought over 100 kilograms of dry powder, which is enough for the kitchen to cook two meals for everyone.
"Thank you so much, Miss Mingshu. I will report the truth when the general comes back."
Chengfeng respectfully thanked Zhou Mingshu.
Before leaving, his master had instructed him to work harder and worry more, and not to let Miss Mingshu suffer or be afraid.
Although he did as he was told, he never expected to receive a gift in return.
The kudzu root stuffed eggs and over 100 kilograms of kudzu root powder are Miss Mingshu's thank-you gift.
"No, no, this is what you deserve. You brought so many people to help my family do so many things, how can I not thank you? Just accept it and let them make more delicious food for you."
Zhou Mingshu taught on the spot how to make kudzu root stuffed eggs, kudzu root stuffed with powder, kudzu root dumplings, and kudzu root jelly.
Those chefs were extremely eager to seize the opportunity to improve their skills.
"There are many ways to eat kudzu root powder. I will teach you these few for now. You can also figure out other ways based on your life experience."
After Zhou Mingshu demonstrated the cooking process, the whole kitchen was in an uproar.
Everyone took some kudzu root powder and went back to their own pots to try it.
Seeing that everyone was so interested, Chengfeng distributed some more.
"Study hard, if you can make something delicious, the general will reward you when he returns."
Having said that, Zhou Mingshu finally asked what she had always wanted to ask.
"Master Chengfeng, Master Qi has been in Kyoto for more than a month. I don't know if he has arrived safely. Has he sent you a message?"
Chengfeng hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Miss Mingshu, the last time I received a letter was half a month ago. The master said that he had arrived in Xizhou. Xizhou is located between Chengzhou and Jingdu. Estimating the time, the master must have arrived in Jingdu by now. The letter reporting safety should be on the way. As soon as the letter arrives, I will send someone to inform you."
"Okay, thank you Master Chengfeng. We have nothing else to do, so we will pack up and go back now."
"Don't...don't..." Chengfeng bit the pen and hesitated.
"Miss Mingshu, do you have any letters to bring to the general? I just happened to have some letters sent back to Kyoto, so I can take them along."
Chengfeng felt a little embarrassed to say this.
It was the first time he had done such a thing, and he felt ashamed of passing a note in front of the teacher.
Zhou Mingshu was surprised for a moment, then he immediately laughed, "Haha, yes, I'll send it to Master Chengfeng after I finish writing it."
"Okay, okay, I'll take the girl back now."
He stuffed the charcoal pencil and book in his hand into his arms and happily led Zhou Mingshu on the road.
Zhou Mingshu smiled and found it a bit amusing.
It's obvious that this was specially arranged by the adults.
Since he wanted to read her letters so much, she would write him a good one to satisfy him.
The carriage is slow, but the person I miss is far away...
The Pueraria lobata stuffed eggs in the restaurant have been shared and everyone is very satisfied with the meal.
Although there is not much work in the mines nowadays, everyone still eats a lot.
"You guys are back. How are you? Have you finished eating?"
"Grandma, of course I've finished eating it. There's almost not enough to go around."
"Haha, that's good. You've been tired for most of the day. Hurry up and wash your hands and come over to eat."
"Okay, come here."
They had been rubbing kudzu root powder in the morning, and then made a few buckets of kudzu root stuffed eggs. Overall, they didn't do any hard work, so it wasn't too tiring.
After happily finishing lunch, Zhou Mingshu and her friends took Zhou Minghua back to Lianglin Village.
Although Si Ya is young, she can still help when things are busy.
After taking a nap, you have to store the dried Pueraria powder in the afternoon before the sun sets.
If it's a little later, there will be more moisture in the air and the powder will not be so dry.
After returning to the room, Zhou Mingshu spread out the paper, ground some ink, and wanted to write something to Qi Rui.
But what should she write?
Would it be a bit boring to write about daily life? Would it be a bit explicit to write about lovesickness?
Tsk tsk...I feel like these are not quite appropriate!
Zhou Mingshu put down his brush, not knowing what to write.
Seeing your letter is like meeting you in person, and reading your letter makes you look happy?
After being apart for several months, how can I bear it?
Isn't this a bit too official?
Zhou Mingshu thought for a while and wrote down a few words in a very fluent manner.
After blowing the letter paper dry, she selected one or two dried flowers from the book and put them in, then carefully rolled it up with letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope.
