Chapter 450 Shen Xiaoyu’s nagging instructions
As night fell, a carriage stopped at the door of Shen's house.

Shen Xiaoyu came down from inside, followed by a girl dressed like Cai Zhi, and a slave following behind, both of whom were holding two food boxes.

Shen Xiaoyu opened the door and let them in.

"Just leave it here. Thank you, Xiaotao. Pour some tea for the guests."

"You're welcome, Miss Shen. We have to go back and recover immediately." The two slaves put down their things and walked out.

Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly sent them out.

"Second sister, did it go well when you went to Gao's house to cook today?" Shen Xiaoli asked her curiously.

"I'm exhausted! Come on, pinch me twice!" Shen Xiaoyu could finally sit down and take a rest.

Shen Xiaoli massaged her shoulders, and the younger sister also leaned over to massage her feet.

Shen Xiaotao brought hot tea to Shen Xiaoyu.

"Second sister, drink something hot to warm your body."

"Thank you, where's dad?" Shen Xiaoyu covered the cup to warm his cold hands, took a sip, and immediately felt warm again.

The weather has been getting colder and colder these days, especially at night, and you can see white mist when breathing.

"Daddy has gone to bed." Shen Xiaotao also massaged her shoulders, one by one. Shen Xiaoyu felt very comfortable.

"It's cold, you should put on more clothes. If it's not warm enough, remember to tell me. When you take a shower, you should also boil hot water before washing. Don't catch a cold, you know?" Shen Xiaoyu babbled, thinking that her mother was like this in the past.

"Second sister, we are running out of firewood at home. Master Beihe has no time to pick up firewood for us in the past two days." Shen Xiaotao is responsible for boiling water for everyone to bathe on weekdays, and also responsible for heating lunch and dinner. How much firewood is left in the woodshed? It is the clearest, and the water in the water tank must be replenished.

Water is easy to deal with. There is a usable well in the yard. Shen Xiaoyu fills the water tank in the yard every day and tries not to have the children fetch water themselves to avoid falling into the well.

As for firewood, Shen Xiaoyu guessed that Gu Beihe's family was so busy these days that he couldn't take care of them. "It doesn't matter. I won't set up a stall these days. Tomorrow I will go to the mountains to collect firewood myself." Shen Xiaoyu thought about going to the mall to see if there is any firewood or charcoal fire or something. If it is not expensive, you can buy some as appropriate.

The weather was too cold, and she didn't have the courage to go to the mountains to collect firewood.

"Why don't you go set up a stall? I want to go." Shen Xiaoli didn't follow for two days, and she felt itchy again. Setting up a stall and selling things was becoming more and more interesting to her.

"I have promised your Master Beihe these days to help cook for their family. I will set up a stall after his father's funeral arrangements are settled."

Shen Xiaoli nodded: "Is Brother Nan Shu very sad? Can I go over and help?"

"Don't go over there and cause trouble. Rest at home and resume setting up the stall in a few days. You'll be busy." Shen Xiaoyu didn't want his sister to fall in love with boys all the time at such a young age, and Gu Nanshu probably wasn't in the mood to pay attention to her.

Shen Xiaoli pouted, but still agreed.

"By the way, I brought you some delicious food!" Shen Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something, sat up straight, opened one of the food boxes on the table, and took out a plate of exquisite pastries from it.

The sisters gathered their heads around.

"What is this? So beautiful!"

"Smells so good!"

"This is Haitang cake, which is a royal pastry. Only the concubines in the palace can eat it."

"Wow! Where did you buy it, second sister?" Shen Xiaotao asked curiously.

"Of course I didn't buy it. It was given to me by Mrs. Gao Lai. She said that the dishes I cooked tonight were delicious and the guests all praised them. Miss Gao arranged for a pastry chef from the palace to come here specially to flower them. In Li County, I made cakes for her old lady to celebrate her birthday. I took advantage of it and got these three."
