Chapter 998: Others got the advantage
He was just being hypocritical. Doctor Hu knew the severity of the situation and how fast the plague spread. He just complained and said nothing more.
"I know, I know. I was just nagging you. Try to be quick. They are feeling so uncomfortable now. I won't talk to you anymore." Hu Li felt like all the strength had been drained from him.
Gu Yao was also feeling a little uncomfortable due to the bumpy ride, so she reached out from her bosom and took out a hawthorn pill.
After eating, I felt much more awake and my stomach felt better. I didn't feel so dizzy anymore.
"This is for you. You should feel better after eating this." Gu Yao reached out and handed the thing to Hu Li.
"What is this?" Hu Li held the tree trunk with one hand and reached out to take the small medicine bottle that Gu Yao handed to him with the other hand.
Gu Yao smiled faintly: "Hawthorn pills can stimulate appetite and make people more awake. You should feel better after taking them. Let's drink porridge tonight. Drinking porridge will make you feel better."
Hu Li reached out and took it: "Thank you, Doctor Gu."
He trusted Gu Yao very much. Gu Yao had helped him a lot along the way.
"Why be polite? We will face the plague together in the future and help each other. If we can get rid of the plague as soon as possible, we can return to the capital earlier." Gu Yao said with a smile.
"Yes, we'll listen to Doctor Gu. Let's solve the plague and return to the capital as soon as possible." Hu Li said as he took out two pills from the medicine bottle and put them into his mouth.
During this period, whenever they stopped to cook for themselves, they would always make rice porridge.
Even if you can't eat other things, rice porridge can better nourish your stomach.
There were no people walking towards the place where they parked, so it was relatively safe for them.
Avoid refugees. They can also rest more peacefully.
Gu Yao walked to the cooking area. She saw that the rice porridge in the pot was so thin that you could almost see your reflection in it. She couldn't help but frown.
He looked at the soldier who was cooking: "Why is there so little rice in this? Is this porridge? It doesn't even taste like rice soup, does it?"
When the young soldier saw that it was Doctor Gu who had come up to him, he stood up straight and replied, "Doctor Gu, we've eaten too much food in the past few days. If we don't use the food we brought this time sparingly, we won't make it to southern Xinjiang."
What could a small soldier like him do? He was just responsible for cooking.
As we walked along the way, we saw that many of the shops selling grain were closed.
Even if some grain shops were open, they would only be open for a short while and then closed.
As soon as the door opened, people rushed to buy it and it sold out quickly.
"We haven't been eating very well these days. We've only been drinking porridge and haven't had any rice. The food we brought from the capital this time is too little." Gu Yao was speechless.
He is helping the country solve big problems.
I didn't expect the food given by the higher-ups to be so stingy. We can't even have a little thick rice porridge.
It will take another week to reach southern Xinjiang.
It was useless for him to complain in his heart now.
"Tiantian, go to our carriage and get some food for this little soldier. If he doesn't have enough to eat, it will be very cold at night. It's winter now, and it's not good for the body. Make sure he has enough to eat and drink." Gu Yao looked at Tiantian and asked him to prepare food quickly.
Tiantian didn't want to give the food they prepared to the soldiers so that everyone could eat together.
This is what he prepared specially for the young lady. There are grain vermicelli and various kinds of food.
Tiantian pouted, not wanting to take it at all: "Miss, do you want hot and sour noodles or some food? Rice?"
Gu Yao picked the door, thinking that they had lived in the south for a long time and should be able to eat something spicy.
Most of these soldiers came from the south, and it is winter and it is so cold outside.
"Can you eat spicy food?" Gu Yao looked at the soldiers who were cooking.
"Doctor Gu, we have been living in southern Xinjiang, so of course we can eat spicy food. The south is always humid. Our bodies cannot stand spicy food. But there is a food shortage recently, so we don't care about the taste. Filling our stomachs is the happiest thing."
"Tiantian, go get the hot and sour noodles. I'm giving the brothers a snack today. I'm confident in the hot and sour noodles I made. I'm sure they will like it very much." Gu Yao asked Tiantian to get it quickly.
There were a lot of things, so Tiantian called the school doctor to get on their carriage together, and took the vermicelli and various sauces off the carriage.
Xiao Yi was also a little reluctant.
They usually don't want to eat it, so they save it for the young lady so that she can eat more.
Hey, that’s good now, I can give it to others at a low price.
Xiao put the things directly in front of the soldier who was cooking.
When the soldier heard that it was hot and sour noodles, his eyes lit up.
He had always heard of these things, but had never eaten them.
I heard people say how delicious it was. This was the first time I actually saw that I might eat it soon, and I swallowed my saliva.
“Doctor Gu, is this really hot and sour noodles? I’ve only heard of it before, but never had it. Can I really eat it today?” Looking at the cooking video, Gu Yao’s eyes lit up.
"I asked them to bring it down so that everyone can eat it. Everyone who sees it can have a share. Now we are walking further and further south, and I feel damp all over. Let's eat something spicy together, so that we can rest more comfortably at night." Gu Yao said with a smile.
But he just wanted to drink some porridge and eat some snacks.
The further south you go, the damper it feels, and they all have experienced this.
It is more biting than the cold wind in the north, freezing you to the bone.
I saw tonight's dinner and smelled the fragrance from a distance. I swallowed my saliva and walked to the big pot.
"What is eating here tonight? Why does it smell so good?" He said this while reaching out to grab the chopsticks and eat from the pot.
Xiao Yi stepped forward to stop him and said, "Captain Li, no one has eaten yet. You used chopsticks to stir the food. You put saliva in it. How can others eat? Everyone use a bowl and serve one portion."
Li Qian was a little embarrassed. He was a little anxious. Who could control themselves when looking at something delicious?
"I'm so sorry, big brother. I just couldn't control myself and wanted to eat it. It smells so good. I haven't seen anything like it on the way here. Is this hot and sour rice noodles? I've heard people talking about it before. The princess in southern Xinjiang gave a lot to the prince. The prince only gave it to people around him. I really haven't even smelled it. It turns out that it smells so good."
Li Qian smiled awkwardly.
When Xiao saw that Li Qian had apologized, he was just talking about something. He took care of the brothers who were cooking and quickly distributed the food.
The aroma from the pot made the brothers who were waiting for the meal with their bowls in hand drool.
