Birthday Cake
Chapter 124 Birthday Cake
However, not long after, the entire team's carriages were unable to move forward, especially the carriages escorted by Xu Tian and other government officials.
These carriages were transporting food for all the prisoners, so it was impossible to give up. Otherwise, the prisoners would all starve to death within a few days.
"Push together!"
Xu Tian called on everyone to push the carriage together, but many prisoners did not want to contribute and expressed why.
As a result, Xu Tian said, "This is all food for you to eat. If you don't want to eat it, then don't do it."
The prisoners didn't expect Xu Tian's attitude to change so much. They didn't dare to gamble for a while, and they all came over to help push the carriage.
Xu Tian felt a little helpless when he saw this scene. He didn't want to show a vicious look, but some people are like this. If you are not fierce, he will think that you are easy to bully, and he will go against you.
Of course, he still has the same attitude towards other prisoners as before, and he will only behave "unhumanly" towards some prisoners who like to find trouble.
"I'll count one, two, three, push hard together!"
Following Xu Tian's voice, everyone worked together and finally pushed the carriage out, but as soon as they took a step, the carriage got stuck in the snow.
The newly fallen snow is too soft, so anyone who steps on it will sink, let alone a carriage.
"continue!"
Everyone could only continue to push, but the snow was too deep, and four or five people struggled to push less than one meter.
thump!
At this time, one man wanted to be lazy, so he pushed gently, but the others pushed hard. When the carriage moved, the man's hand lost its strength and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, it was snow, the man was not injured, but he was still very angry and complained.
"How long will this take? We haven't had enough to eat, so how can we have the strength to push the carriage?"
As soon as these words came out, others immediately echoed.
"Yes, yes."
Obviously, they didn't want to be coolies, it was too tiring.
"That's right, captain, the snow is so deep that the horses are stuck and can't walk at all."
Other government officials also spoke up, "It's simply not an option for us to push it like this!"
"Then do you have any other good solutions?"
Xu Tian asked back, but everyone fell into silence.
"Or, remove all the supplies in the carriage and carry a part for each person, so that the weight can be reduced, and maybe you can walk..."
As soon as a yamen servant finished speaking, he was interrupted by other yamen servants, "How can we people get so many things?"
"Let the prisoner take it!"
"Stupid, what if they hide, or eat the food?"
"Then what do you say?"
The government officials were talking all over the place, obviously there was no good solution.
"It's too late. Let's have a night's rest and set off early tomorrow morning. I'll think about other options tonight."
Xu Tian spoke, and wanted to turn around and go to Master Chen, but now that he was a disciple of Master Chen, how could he go to Master Chen for everything, would he be worthy of Master Chen's teaching?
Thinking like this, he could only give up looking for Mr. Chen's help and find a way on his own.
"Their carriage is also in trouble." Chen Xue and his carriage were right in front of the government servant's carriage, so they could see what was going on behind them.
"In this case, our carriage will not be able to fit into the space."
Master Chen frowned. If there was only their carriage, they could pretend to be at the back and put the carriage away.
Finally, he told Xu Tian that the carriage was lost, and Xu Tian might free up another carriage for them.
But now, Xu Tian and his carriage can't leave. If their carriage disappears, if Xu Tian knows about it, he might let them help.
Other things are fine, but I can't help you with this one.
night.
Chen Xue's family still eats fried pork, fried pork with chili pepper, braised pork, and all kinds of dishes.
Although Chen Xue is not good at cooking, with Xiaodie at his side to guide her, Xiaodie's skills can completely cook this dish to perfection.
"Fortunately Xiaodie is here, otherwise we would all be hungry."
Chen Xue looked at Xiaodie gratefully, and then gave Xiaodie a large piece of braised pork, "This is to reward you."
"Thank you girl!"
Xiaodie quickly stood up and saluted and thanked her.
"I told you that you don't need to salute." Chen Xue quickly pulled Xiaodie to sit down, "What's our relationship? There's no need to be so polite."
"That's right." Mother Chen also spoke, "We are no longer the same identities as before, so now there is no distinction between master and wife. We are all one family. There is no need to be so polite."
Xiaodie was immediately moved and almost knelt down, but was held back by Chen Xue.
"Okay, okay, if you want to thank us, make us more delicious food."
"By the way, talking about delicious food." Chen Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Xiaodie, do you know how to make cakes? Let's make cakes together!"
"cake?"
"Girl, what's the cake?"
"A cake is...well, it can be considered a kind of bread! By the way, Xiaodie, when is your birthday?"
"Birthday?"
"It's the birthday!"
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and even stretched out her fingers to calculate, "It seems like the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow?" Chen Xue was stunned. She didn't expect it to be so soon, but luckily she didn't miss it. "Then how about we throw a birthday party for you?"
"I'll make you a birthday cake!"
Chen Xue's thinking is still modern thinking, so she treats Xiaodie more as an equal.
Therefore, to hold a birthday party for Xiaodie is to treat her as a friend, not as a maid.
"Girl, you don't have to be like this!"
Xiaodie was a little flattered and waved her hands quickly, "Xiaodie is so virtuous..."
Chen Xue did not continue to say anything, but looked at her parents. Chen's mother smiled and said, "Since Xiaoxue said so, let's do it!"
"I have no objection." Mr. Chen shrugged. Even if he had an opinion, his opinion was generally not important on such trivial matters.
"Look, my parents are fine." Chen Xue said happily. Seeing that Xiaodie kept pushing away, she pretended to be angry, "If you think that I am still your girl, just be obedient."
Xiaodie didn't dare to refute.
"Afterwards, I'll make the cake. Xiaodie, just watch and learn how to make it!"
"Girl, do you want to do it yourself?" Xiaodie said quickly, "Girl, let me do it. This kind of trivial matter requires girl to come forward."
"It's okay. This is a gift from me. Of course I have to make it myself."
"Of course, I will prepare another surprise. After all, birthday cake is just a must."
"Xiaoxue didn't even make a cake for me on my birthday." Mr. Chen was standing next to him, suddenly feeling a bit hungry.
"You." Mother Chen pinched him, "Why are you so jealous of a maid?"
"Dad, isn't this what I just learned?" Chen Xue said helplessly, but she complained in her heart that I had just traveled through time and my predecessor could make a ghost cake.
"Father, mother, don't worry, I will make you a cake on your birthday too."
"It's almost there."
PS: I'm sorry, Xiaoyu has been working overtime these days and late at night, so I can barely keep up with one update. For this chapter, I coded a few hundred words during my 10-minute lunch break, and then coded a hundred words while going to the toilet. Words, I just finished coding after get off work at 10:30...
