Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 227 Scheming

Why did she ask about food that would kill people for no reason? What did Shen Wanting want to do?

Are you trying to poison someone? !

Not only are the maids in the Shen mansion scary, but even the young ladies are so scary!

"Well..." Song Ying scratched his head, pretending to think seriously, "I really don't know which foods can kill people if eaten together."

The reason why food becomes food is that it is safe. In her opinion, as long as it is not rotten or contaminated with dirt, it will not kill people under normal circumstances.

"Where are the medicinal herbs?" Shen Wanting asked.

Of course people can die if the wrong medicinal materials are used!

Song Ying's pupils shrank. She really wanted to poison someone!

She tilted her head and raised it slightly, using a lot of effort to stop her curiosity and not ask "Who do you want to poison?"

After a while, she turned her head and looked at Shen Wanting, politely refusing: "Fifth Miss, I have only been your disciple for a few months, and I have not read many serious medical books. Your question is too difficult for me."

"Hahaha, Sister Song Ying, you are so amazing. You know all the medicinal food we ask you about. I almost forgot that you only became my disciple not long ago."

"Haha, I just learned some medicinal foods that Master taught me."

"You are just too modest." Shen Wanting said angrily and stood up. "My hands are burned today, so I won't make this medicinal meal for now. I'm going to go talk to my grandmother."

Song Ying stood up and said, "Okay."

After she left, Song Ying looked at Chuntao. Chuntao was also looking at her with the same surprise and doubt in her eyes. She obviously understood what Shen Wanting wanted to do by asking those questions.

"Sister Song Ying, please come over and help me see how long it will take to steam this Sijun steamed duck?" She spoke, as if she didn't see the implicit meaning of Shen Wanting's previous questions.

Song Ying also pretended not to know, opened the lid of the pot, and gently poked it with chopsticks: "Steam it for another quarter of an hour and then put the medicine bag in."

"Then I have to soak the medicine bag, right?"

"No hurry, just let the medicine bag soak for a while, wait a little longer."

"Row……"

The two of them asked me questions and I answered them, talking about medicinal food in detail, and it seemed that they were completely immersed in it.

When the medicinal food was ready, Chuntao delivered it to Shun'an County Lady, and Song Ying went to the big kitchen to take the food back for the master and his disciple.

While eating, she thought again and again, and decided to tell Doctor Lin, "Master, today Miss Wu asked me which foods are incompatible and will kill people if eaten."

Doctor Lin paused while picking up the food, and his expression suddenly became serious: "How did you answer?"

"I've only been studying medicine for a short time, I don't know these things."

"You handled it well." Doctor Lin breathed a sigh of relief. "Remember this in the future, don't get involved in the affairs of the mansion."

As she spoke, she sighed. Some things could not be avoided just by choice. As long as she lived in the Shen Mansion, she could not escape. However, as a girl, it was impossible for her to live out on her own without a female elder.

Doctor Lin had a headache, thought for a while, and said, "Don't go to the medicinal food event in the future."

"Master, this is not good. I couldn't help it because the clinic was busy before, but now it's not busy. Besides, if there is something to do, the disciple should obey the old man. Since I have nothing to do, how can I trouble the master?"

Doctor Lin felt a little warm in his heart, and said with a straight face: "What's wrong with that? Since you have free time, go and memorize the book. Have you finished memorizing the Shennong Herbal Classic?"

"Not yet." Song Ying said weakly.

"Why don't you memorize them quickly?" Doctor Lin glared at her. "While there are fewer patients in the twelfth and first months of the year, hurry up and memorize Shennong's Herbal Classic, Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, and Qianjin Yifang. You must master at least 50 prescriptions before the spring comes."

"Memorize them all?" Song Ying's eyes widened. "Master, this is a bit too difficult."

"If you don't recite it, how do you know whether it's difficult or not?"

Since the master said so, of course I should memorize it. Song Ying nodded and agreed, and then said: "Sister Chuntao has learned a lot of medicinal diets. After a while, I shouldn't need to watch over her. I'd better stick to it for a while."

"Not to mention in a while, in a few months, she will need someone to watch over her."

Song Ying looked puzzled, "Is the old lady going to change to a completely different medicinal diet?"

Although the medicinal food is different every day, there are basically about ten kinds in rotation.

Doctor Lin shook his head. "You are still too immature to see through other people's little tricks. Chuntao likes to be clever and wants to move up, but she is afraid of taking responsibility, so she dragged you to be a sucker. If nothing goes wrong, it's her credit. If something goes wrong, it's your fault for not reminding her."

"Sister Chuntao, you're not that kind of person, right?"

"Then you said that she already knows how to do it, so why does she have to wait for you to do it?"

"She is more cautious and doesn't trust her own memory..." Halfway through his words, Song Ying remembered that he had reminded her several times to write down the steps of the method with pen and ink. Now that someone had personally taught her several times and she had the written steps to refer to, the probability of making mistakes was actually very small.

At the beginning, the master taught her once, watched her do it once more, and then let her do it alone. As for Chuntao, she made some of the medicinal dishes under his supervision several times.

Chuntao is really afraid of taking responsibility if she makes a mistake, so she holds herself responsible!

Song Ying was stunned. Ever since she entered the Shen Mansion, she had always had a good impression of Chuntao, and she was very studious even before she was in charge of making medicinal food.

At that time, she was a little surprised. Her master really wanted more girls to study medicine, whether it was medical skills or just learning medicinal diet. As long as they were willing to learn, she was willing to teach.

Since Chuntao was eager to learn, why didn't she learn medicinal cuisine from her master for such a long time before she came here?

At that time she was still glad that Chuntao did not study, otherwise the Shen family would not have hired temporary workers and she would not have been able to meet her master.

It turns out that’s the reason!

Song Ying was a little angry. She treated Chuntao sincerely, but Chuntao treated her as a scapegoat. Normally, she would always call her sister "sister" and always be smiling. How could this be!

Are not all the people in the Shen Mansion like this, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back?

Doctor Lin couldn't help but sigh when he saw her getting angry. Although his little disciple was clever, she was too honest and didn't know how to hide her emotions at all. How could she adapt to a big quagmire like the Shen Mansion?

"Alright, have less contact with them in the future. You are just too honest. Everyone in the main courtyard knows what kind of person she is."

Song Ying was even more devastated because she always thought Chuntao had a very good relationship with the other maids and servants in the main courtyard, and she didn't realize at all that those people knew Chuntao's shortcomings.

After she calmed down, she said worriedly, "Master, if she keeps saying she can't learn, then you have to keep an eye on her every day. If she makes a mistake, she'll have to blame you in the end."

"Don't worry, your master won't let anyone bully her. If she still can't learn, I'll ask the old lady to replace her."

Song Ying felt relieved.
