I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 354 Meeting Luan Weiniang again

"Isn't it?" Lu'er agreed with a smile: "Madam, you don't know that my wife's skill in stewing meat is very good. Even the nobles in the palace praised her. You are in for a treat tonight. La!"

Luo Qianhuai moved his eyes away from the back elbow and sighed: "I also want to try Wei Niang's cooking skills. But this back elbow is not good."

"Why can't it work?" Lu'er bought the meat and couldn't bear to hear anyone say no.

Caiwei also cast her gaze over, her eyes full of confusion.

"This is pig meat with plague." Luo Qianhuai knew that they didn't recognize it, so he pointed at the dark purple patches on the skin: "Did you see it? This is caused by swine fever causing bleeding and necrosis at the end of the limbs."

Lu'er was unconvinced: "The smuggler said that these purple spots are birthmarks and are not a problem at all."

Luo Qianhuai frowned: "Then look at the color of this meat. Healthy pork is light pink, and the color of this elbow is obviously dark red and purple. In this world, buyers will never be as smart as sellers. If they really sell The meat is good, even if it is sold in the wild market in the countryside, it can be sold for ten yuan a pound, so why sell it at such a low price?"

Lu'er looked at Caiwei. The latter actually felt that the price of meat was too low and was a little worried. Hearing what Luo Qianhuai said, he felt entangled in his heart.

"Madam, if it's really plagued pork, what will happen if you eat it?" She was used to frugality, and although she believed it in her heart, she still didn't want to throw it away.

"It can range from vomiting and diarrhea to severe fever and malaria. Even if you become sick, it's possible."

Luo Qianhuai deliberately made the situation more serious. Although swine fever does not affect humans, and most of the viruses in it will be killed during the stewing process, the meat itself is not good for the body at all. Intestinal infections are bound to occur, and unknown bacteria may also be contracted.

It’s not that she doesn’t understand that many people in this era are obsessed with food. If there is a calamity year, a hungry person will eat anything to survive, regardless of whether there is swine fever or chicken fever.

But that's obviously not the case now. Although the Jing family usually eats less meat, they are not short of food, not to that extent at all.

"Then according to Madam's opinion, what should be done with this meat?" Caiwei was really distressed. Ten copper coins can buy ten chickens, so it was wasted.

Thinking of this, she glared at Lu'er fiercely.

Lu'er shrank and lowered her head. After listening to Luo Qianhuai's words, she no longer wanted to eat the meat. She is a slave bought by Caiwei. If she really gets sick, Madam may not hire a doctor for her.

"Send this meat to Chang Jucheng in the East Market immediately and explain the matter clearly. The meat sold by the smugglers today must have been sold to many people. The buyers and sellers must be found and the meat must be concentrated. Burn it. Moreover, this swine fever is contagious, and pigs that have been in contact with it before may be infected. The government needs to come forward to find out the source of the disease to prevent it from spreading."

She spoke clearly and logically. Caiwei was also from the palace, and her vision was much better than that of ordinary mistresses. She immediately called the old servant over, asked him to take the back elbow, and immediately went to Dong City to find the mayor. Ju Cheng, take Luo Qianhuai’s words with you.

The old servant left, but Caiwei looked at her with some confusion: "It's just that there will be no meat dishes tonight. It's a celebration, but in fact, the family hasn't eaten meat for many days. You, Aweng, are in the palace. Fortunately, I can eat something good every three days, but Ah Qin has been craving meat for a long time."

Of course Luo Qianhuai could understand the meaning behind her words, but he just didn't want to worry about it. When she came back today, the Cui family not only gave her a food box, but also a wooden box of copper coins as a medical fee. Although the box is not big, it is heavy to hold. I think there is at least one piece of money, which is one thousand five-plant money.

Luo Qianhuai didn't take this little money seriously, but Caiwei took an eye on it immediately, but she was too embarrassed to ask for it because of her face.

Luo Qianhuai originally thought about asking Xingxuan to give the money directly to Caiwei, but as soon as he thought about it, he said, "I have nothing to do, so I will go out and buy some meat and vegetables myself and give it to Wei Niang to take care of."

As she said this, ignoring Caiwei's slightly disappointed look, she left the kitchen and went back to look for Xingxuan.

When Ah Qin heard that Luo Qianhuai was going out to visit Dongshi, she was extremely envious and wanted to go out with her sister, but she did not refuse.

When she went to ask Caiwei for instructions, she was eager for her daughter to have a good relationship with this eldest sister, and she would not stop her. Instead, she told them not to rush and to hang out for a while before coming back.

The weather was fine in the afternoon. The early spring wind brought a hint of warmth. The streets and alleys were covered with smoke and willows. The early peach blossoms were like clouds and clouds, dazzling.

The weather is good, the scenery is good, and with money in his pocket, Luo Qianhuai will naturally live up to this rare leisure time.

She walked around the East Market and bought a lot of interesting gadgets along the way. She and Ah Qin also put on a new set of clothes she had just bought, and had a gold-backed gem core inserted into each of her two buns. The child's Zhuhua, holding mutton biscuits in her left hand and candied haws in her right hand, ate happily.

It was at this time that Luo Qianhuai suddenly saw a familiar carriage.

The carriage was black with a flat roof, and royal blue curtains were hung on the doors and windows. Only an inconspicuous seal character was carved with silver powder on the side of the carriage.

That is the emblem of the Huo family. On the night she entered Weiyang Palace, she was kidnapped from the prison in Changling Yiting and took this car.

When the system controlled her to escape, she could clearly see the car through her special perspective. She even remembered the two horses harnessed in front of the car exactly.

So this car is exclusively for Huo Yu's young lady, right? Treating human life as nothing, and doing something as big as robbing a prison, yet still being able to behave like a normal person really made her feel once again the profound connotation of this imperial society.

The owner of the car obviously didn't see her. He didn't stop at all and went straight to Zhaoxing Tower.

Logically speaking, with the Huo family's current dominance, it is completely normal for the young lady of the family to go to Zixing Tower for a meal.

But for some reason, Luo Qianhuai suddenly remembered the familiar attitude that Mr. Mo had when he mentioned Mrs. Huo.

By the way, he also knew her maiden name, Luan Wei'er. Luo Qianhuai is already very aware of the rules of this era. Apart from her parents and relatives, only her husband can know a woman's maiden name. So what is the relationship between her and Mr. Mo?
Once this idea emerged, it immediately spread crazily throughout her body along the blood vessels extending in all directions. Even Luo Qianhuai himself couldn't figure out whether this impulse stemmed from the vigorous gossip spirit or a special reason that he was unwilling to admit.
