Chapter 60 The grace of saving lives
She didn't want to explain, so she just gave him a little face and just gave him a look.

However, he said he had learned to pretend to be stupid, and he blinked at her back. She was very tired from walking a short distance, but fortunately, he arrived at the house.

Shen Muyin heard her sister's voice telling the apprentice to go back first.

The apprentice insisted on waiting until they were inside the house.

Shen Qingrou opened the door, and pulled Shen Muyin distressedly, "Why is it raining? Is it cold? Are you hungry? I boiled hot water, and I will take a hot bath later, and then sleep well."

Li Erya smiled at the apprentice, waved her hand, and silently closed the door.

Under Shen Qingrou's insistence, Shen Muyin took a hot bath, while Li Erya could still have a basin of hot water to wash her hands, wipe her face and soak her feet.

After finishing all this work, she quickly lay down, and immediately pretended to be asleep when she heard Shen Qingrou's footsteps.

Shen Qingrou stared at her for a long while, her heart itching, her brother didn't say what happened in Huichun Hall, she wanted to ask her, but she just fell asleep like that.

It's so late, it's human nature to be tired and sleepy, and she is too, Shen Qingrou yawned, and lay down with her clothes on.

It rained all night, and the sun came out the next day.

Li Erya looked at the warm sunshine, with a smile on her face, and walked out of the house with a basket in her arms.

She didn't cook earlier, she bought vegetables outside and bought steamed stuffed buns for breakfast.

Shen Qingrou didn't feel very happy when she saw Baozi, but instead scolded her, saying that she shouldn't spend money recklessly, after all, it's not easy for them in the city, everything needs money, so they should save some money.

"No money for firewood? No money for rice? No money for oil? No money for salt?" Li Erya asked back.

Shen Qingrou was left speechless by her question, and it took a long time before she said, "Shouldn't I cook by myself? It's not good to run a house like you."

"It doesn't matter once or twice once in a while." Shen Muci said with a smile.

"Brother." Shen Qingrou called out unconvinced.

"It's not bad to change the taste." Shen Muyin took a bun, "It's very fragrant."

"Hmph." Although Shen Qingrou was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything, picked up the bun and took a bite.

"The craftsmanship is really good." Li Erya also took one to eat.

She bought six steamed buns, two for each of them, plus the white porridge cooked by Shen Qingrou, this breakfast was still very rich compared to the breakfast of ordinary people.

She got up early and bought pig offal and bones. The bones were used to make soup, and the pig offal was used to make brine. This is convenient in the city, and you can buy everything you want to eat.

For her choice, Shen Qingrou was both disgusted and somewhat looking forward to it. The taste buds in her memory were awakened. Although she was looking forward to eating delicious food earlier, she didn't want to touch it.

Li Erya didn't expect her to help, anyway, she didn't have much to do in the city, so she rewarded herself by cooking something to pass the time.

Shen Qingrou moved all the things that could be dried out of the small yard, and still stared at her, not allowing her to dirty the clothes and quilts.

Li Erya glanced at her, and silently turned her back.

And Shen Muci, who had always locked himself in the room to read, also came out, saying that he was going to the bookstore to read and visit a friend along the way.

"Remember to come back for dinner." Shen Qingrou chose her words carefully for a while, seeing that the person had already walked out of the gate, she could only speak in a hurry.

Li Erya turned her head to look at Shen Muyin's room, which had not yet appeared, and continued to be busy with her own affairs.

After working for a long time, the brine was finally ready and was about to eat when someone knocked on the door.

"Brother is back, I'll open the door." Shen Qingrou said excitedly.

Li Erya looked at the pot that had just been cleaned, and the rice hadn't been poured yet, when she suddenly heard Shen Qingrou ask "Who are you?", she hurried out to have a look.

Seeing Mrs. Hu and a lady who looked a lot like her, dressed in the same noble style, and their maid, Li Erya hurried over, "Ma'am, why are you here?"

"The savior you mentioned is she?" Mrs. Sun looked at Li Erya in disbelief, and then pointed at Shen Qingrou, she probably admitted the wrong person.

Shen Qingrou blushed, she and Mrs. Hu had never met before, so when talking about the rescuer, it was probably Li Erya who saved her life, so this is what they refused to talk about.

Suddenly not really wanting to know about her, Shen Qingrou waved her hand embarrassingly.

"Can we come in?" Mrs. Hu held Li Erya's hand affectionately, "I've heard what Jing'er said, you worked hard last night, your little hands must be tired, you need to mend them."

"Yes." Li Erya looked at the situation, and hurriedly invited them into the house.

Shen Qingrou sneaked a glance at the clothes all over the yard, regretting so much, she wished she could put them away immediately, but at this moment she could only follow behind them.

Li Erya didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was a rare day when the sky was fine, so it would be a waste of God's will not to use it to dry the quilt and clothes.

After entering the house, Li Erya remembered that they were preparing to cook, so they could wait a while to see the sky, thinking that they should leave soon, so they sat down.

Mrs. Hu asked the servant girl to take a generous gift, "A small gift is not a respect."

"No, no, I just bought Dr. Su some time, these things are more suitable for Dr. Su." Li Erya didn't dare to pick them up.

"You can take it at ease, Dr. Su can't do without him." Mrs. Hu said with a smile.

"It won't be too expensive. We can't bear it if it's too expensive, and it's easy for thieves to worry about it. My temple is small and I can't afford too expensive gifts." Li Erya waved his hands again and again.

"This little girl is quite interesting, don't worry, it's not expensive, just some food and clothing." Mrs. Hu covered her mouth with a smile, "Two signature dishes of Jixianglou, and some dry goods and cloth."

Li Erya was humble for a while, and then accepted her things.

"What smells so fragrant." Mrs. Sun sniffed it vigorously, but it didn't look like something brought by her sister.

"The meat dishes made at home." Li Erya said with a smile, "Would you like to try it?"

"Can I eat it?" Mrs. Hu asked with lingering fear, "I heard that you also know about diabetes. Jing'er told me about it. This disease makes me feel anxious even if I take a bite."

"It's ok, as long as it's in moderation." Li Erya said with a smile, and then went into the kitchen to bring them a plate of brine, "I don't know if you are used to eating it, but let me explain in advance that these are made from pigs."

Shen Qingrou rolled her eyes at Li Erya, she didn't have the courage to stop them, so she could only lower her head in embarrassment, thinking about what to do if they were unhappy.

Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun looked at me and I looked at you, and finally looked at the things on the plate together, as if they knew what she was talking about.

If she didn't say anything, they would try it without hesitation. Now that they knew what this dish was, the two of them looked at me and I looked at you, as if they were encouraging each other to be brave and try it first.
