Chapter 43 Whose woman knows so much?
Lu Yi walked out awkwardly. The taste of the dumplings was so exciting.

"Big..." When the cook saw Lun Neng, he immediately knelt down to salute, but was interrupted by Lun Neng.

"Can you give me a bowl of dumplings? My family is hungry."

Luneng said.

"Give it? Even if the King of Heaven comes, I won't give it."

Shen Ru said forcefully while eating the dumplings, her mind racing very fast.

Those who live in the inn are either officials or their family members.

The cook was obviously in awe of the person in front of him, but there was an adult among them, so there was an important person in this inn!

Luneng was speechless, how could this woman be so fierce!

"Aru!" Shen Yan reminded in a low voice.

"We bought this meat for one tael of silver, we picked the wild vegetables outside, and I spent a lot of effort rolling out this dough. Do you think I should give it to you?"

Shen Ru was not afraid and said vigorously, "If you want to eat, give me money!"

Luneng was stunned and was shocked by Shen Ru, but what he said made sense.

"Then... how much?"

"One tael of silver and a bowl of dumplings, twelve of them, do you want them?"

Shen Ru's words startled the cook on the side, but then he thought that she didn't say that she bought the meat from him, and then looked at Shen Ru with admiration, this little girl is so good at calculating.

Luneng took out a tael of broken silver and asked the cook to help him cook a bowl of dumplings. Finally, he looked meaningfully at Shen Ru's family.

"Aru, what does he mean? We must not have offended some big shot!"

Mother Shen was a little scared.

"Mom, we are prisoners, and we won't stay here for long. We were sent to Liangzhou. No matter how big the officials here are, it's none of our business!"

Shen Ru put away the remaining uncooked dumplings. The snow outside was a natural cold storage.

In the guest room, the man ate the shepherd's purse dumplings and was shocked.

One bite at a time, and after several bites in a row, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Fine salt, the salt used here must be fine salt. These officials and their families who have committed crimes still don't understand the suffering in the world."

This fine salt is extremely expensive and can only be enjoyed by the royal family. Unexpectedly, it was actually used among these prisoners.

"Lu Yi, find out the identities of these people. When they arrive in Liangzhou, I will take special care of these people!"

The man looked heavy, but he didn't stop eating the dumplings.

Lu Yi on the side responded and swallowed again, these dumplings must be delicious!
Cui Ti took out all the food she had brought with her, and then persuaded Chen Qing to let the officials clear some of the snowy roads. As long as she hit the road immediately, she would not be short of food until she had enough supplies in the next city.

"This person is different from other people. That Miss Cui is not related to us, and she even treated everyone to hot food."

Mr. Feng had kept a low profile for a few days, but eating hot food revived his blood circulation.

"Unlike some people who don't care about their relatives and just live alone, why doesn't God accept them?"

"Mom, I haven't seen any of them here, I must be hiding somewhere and eating them secretly, choking them to death!"

Shen Fu also said angrily, "This hot porridge with wild vegetables is so warm!"

Shen Ping drank the hot porridge in silence. When Shen Ru took out the food before, her grandmother kept scolding her. At that time, it was still rice balls and rabbit meat!
But now, my grandmother is grateful for the not-so-thick white porridge, which is really ironic.

Shen Ru's family was resting in the carriage at the moment.

He took out the thick quilt from the box and covered himself with it, and ate some snacks. The whole family was neat and tidy, which was not a happy thing.

"Aru, you Cui Ti is so generous, what do you think she wants?"

Mother Shen naturally started gossiping when she was free, "Prince Jing's son is gone. No matter how kind she is to the old lady of Prince Jing's mansion, does she want to remain a widow for the rest of her life?"

"Maybe that's what she thinks!"

Shen Ru replied calmly, Cui Ti liked Pei Wenjing, Prince Jing's son, so much that she would guard him even to the point of death.

"Tsk, tsk, it's really... I'm full and I'm holding on!" Aunt Lian said with disdain: "It's not right for a good lady from a well-known family to come here to be a good person. If she ends up in a situation like ours, can she still laugh?"

"Sister, do we still have food?"

Shen Xuan couldn't help but ask, "If Sister Cui has finished eating, others may be thinking about us again."

"Well, go and have a look."

Shen Ru pointed at the box and said, "There is a bag of rice sent by Cui Ti, as well as some flour, dry food, and pastries that I bought before. No, there are still about fifty dumplings left. I buried them in the box. Under that snow.”

These are things on the surface. After all, Cui Ti gave them to her. If she comes to borrow food later, she can't say that she has nothing!

"As for our family, we can actually eat whatever we want."

Shen Ru said, it's just that the official's appetite should be restrained a little, and the human world's sophistication should also be restrained a little.

After eating, they had to work. When Shen Ru and the others had rested and were about to return to Datongpu, they found that many people were missing.

"Oh, you guys still know how to come back."

Shen Ping said angrily, "Don't look at it. All the strong men are shoveling the snow outside. That girl Cui said that if everyone contributes a little, we can get on our way as soon as possible."

"It sounds like we all want to go to Liangzhou to do hard labor as soon as possible."

"Eaters are short-handed, but they should do some work."

Shen Ru said casually, "Will the access be available soon?"

"Shen Ru, do you want to leave right away?"

Shen Ping can't understand Shen Ru, who wants to go to that damn place in Liangzhou!
"Why don't we go and take a look? I can help a little bit!"

Shen Rubuyu discussed this issue with Shen Ping and said to his parents.

"You should rest inside. As a man, I should go and help."

Shen Yan waved his hand and said firmly.

"Then, dad, let's go, mom, aunt, you can rest with Xuanxuan and Nian'er!"

Shen Ru decided immediately, and the father and daughter walked out directly.

Shen Ping, who was watching behind her, was speechless. She stepped forward to work and held on until she was full!

Outside the inn, Cui Ti, who was wearing a thick cloak, stood with Chen Qing and Yi Cheng, looking at the officials and prisoners who had cleared the snow in front of the inn, and seemed very satisfied.

"The snow is very thick. I'm afraid you won't be able to walk forward after leaving the inn."

Yi Cheng said truthfully, "I think the sun will clear up soon. Maybe it will be fine in three to five days."

"In the next three to five days, I'm afraid your inn will be eaten to the bitter end!"

Chen Qing said truthfully.

"Shen Ru, you could tell me how to make the snow melt as soon as possible."

Seeing Shen Ru and Shen Yan, Chen Qing called out to Shen Ru.

“Yes, there is, but it’s not cost-effective!”

Shen Ru said bluntly: "If you sprinkle a lot of salt on it, the snow will melt faster."

"But salt is more expensive than meat, so it's not worth it!"

"Perhaps...can we boil hot water and pour it on the snow?"

Cui Ti said, "Is there always water? Even if there isn't, won't this snow turn into water?"

"That's fine too."

Shen Ru nodded, "We have to consider the amount of hot water. In addition, the snow has melted, but the ground is frozen. People will fall when walking, and the carriage may not work."

Shen Ru's words were heard by the people upstairs again. The man upstairs was thoughtful. Whose girl knows so much!
