The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Many days ago, after the imperial physician arrived from the palace, the plague gradually stabilized.

Those whose symptoms were not so severe have completely recovered, and those whose conditions were serious have hope of survival.

Everyone in the refugee resettlement site said that the current emperor was a wise ruler who did not abandon the common people who had fled here.

The emperor was very pleased to know that the dreaded plague had been brought under control, and the imperial physician Wang Qi, who was sent to deal with the matter, received most of the credit.

The eldest prince did not receive any severe punishment because he informed the matter promptly.

……

Jiang Qingyi's braised pork intestines were cooked in the pot for more than two hours, and the whole kitchen was filled with a rich aroma of braised food.

When it was almost cooked, Jiang Qingyi took the pig intestines out of the pot and put them in a basin together with the marinade. The pig intestines would be more flavorful when soaked in the marinade.

She estimated that this amount of pig intestines was not enough for the whole family, so she would need to add some other dishes, but that was not something she should worry about.

After Jiang Qingyi finished her work in the kitchen, she went to the main house.

Old Man Jiang was talking to Jiang Dashan and his brothers. When he saw Jiang Qingyi come in, he waved to her.

Jiang Qingyi simply took a small stool and sat down next to Old Man Jiang.

"Xiao Wu, you said before that you wanted your brothers to go to the academy. This matter..."

"We need to find out more about this matter before making any arrangements." Jiang Qingyi said calmly.

Jiang Dashan spoke slowly, "The New Year is coming soon, why don't we wait and see after the New Year? During this time, we can go and inquire about the schools in the capital."

Jiang Dahai then spoke up, "There should be quite a few schools in the capital, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out about this. I'm just worried that the information might be wrong, which would be bad then."

Jiang Dahai was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, so he just listened carefully to what others said.

Jiang Qingyi didn't want to go to Zhao Jing for such a small matter. If it happened too many times, the favor would be quickly consumed. They were a powerless family, and Zhao Jing might not even bother to deal with them.

However, they had only just arrived in the capital, and if they wanted to accomplish this matter smoothly, they still had to build up their family business first.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyi felt a little anxious. In this era, women were not allowed to go to school, even the daughters of wealthy families were the same. Others could hire a female teacher to teach them at home, but she would have to wait until her brothers went to school and came back to study.

Old Lady Jiang turned around and looked at the group of people who were very worried, and said to comfort them, "This matter can't be rushed, it's better to take it slowly."

Old Man Jiang sighed, "It's not that I'm anxious. Our Xiaoping will be fourteen next year. He's getting married soon. How long can he go to school? I'm just worried that he won't learn anything..."

"Master, don't worry. It's okay for me not to go to school. I can find a shop to be an apprentice and make a living."

Old man Jiang's face turned serious. "Don't talk nonsense. I agreed to let you all go to school. As the eldest brother, why don't you think about it?"

Jiang Qingyi also nodded, "Brother, you must go to this school, and you must continue to teach me when you come back!"

Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment. He was the eldest in the family. If there was really someone who couldn't go to school, it should be him. But if he didn't go to school, Xiaowu wouldn't be able to learn anything. This made him very conflicted and he couldn't think of what to say for a while.

Finally, it was Old Lady Jiang who broke the atmosphere. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting dark. Second son's wife, go to the kitchen and make food. Xiaowu, you can come and help."

Jiang Qingyi responded, and then said to Old Man Jiang and the others, "Everything will work out when the time comes. Don't worry too much about this. I'll keep an eye on it!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up and went to the kitchen.

Chen also put the needle and thread in her hand into the small basket beside her and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Qingyi first went to the kitchen and stood beside the basin of braised pork intestines.

Chen then came in and asked, "Xiaowu, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Jiang Qingyi pointed at the basin in front of her, "Steam some rice, and make two side dishes. Cut up the pig intestines and stir-fry them. If it's not enough, just add a plate of pickles."

Chen asked hesitantly, "Steamed white rice? There are more than ten people in our family, how much is enough? Will it be too..."

Jiang Qingyi waved her hand, "It's okay, Second Aunt, please cook more rice. I'm afraid it won't be enough when I eat it later."

After hearing what she said, Chen nodded and said, "Okay then."

Jiang Qingyi started to help pick vegetables.

Chen quickly washed the rice and put it into the pot. She added water and boiled it until it was 70% cooked. Then she took it out and drained the water. After a while, she put it into the steamer to steam it.

"Xiaowu, would you like some rice soup? We cooked a lot of rice today, and this rice soup looks thick, so it must taste good."

Jiang Qingyi, who was helping to light the fire, nodded repeatedly when she heard this, "I want to drink it, thank you, second aunt, I want a big bowl!"

After coming here, I basically eat noodles. I rarely have the chance to eat rice, so I rarely have rice soup to drink.

But Jiang Qingyi really likes the taste of rice soup. It has a silky texture, a hint of rice aroma, and the taste is not that strange. She can finish a big bowl of it in one breath.

Chen responded and scooped a large bowl of rice soup and handed it to Jiang Qingyi. "It's very hot. Hold it to warm your hands first and then drink it slowly."

Jiang Qingyi held the bowl in both hands, smiling with her eyes curved.

While the rice was steaming in the pot, Chen was worried about the pig intestines soaking in the brine. She turned around and asked, "Xiao Wu, what should I do with the offal you cooked?"

"Pick it up and cut it into small pieces." Jiang Qingyi didn't want to touch the greasy pig intestines, so she asked Chen to handle it.

Chen deftly took out the pig intestines and placed them on the chopping board, then started cutting them with a "thump thump thump" sound.

Although the braised pork intestines have gone cold, they still have a rich aroma when cut.

While cutting, Chen said, "Xiaowu, this smells so good. Next time you make it, can you let me see how it is..."

She suddenly thought that this was a secret recipe and how could she pass it on to others so she stopped talking before she finished.

Jiang Qingyi didn't know what Chen was thinking, so she agreed directly, "Okay, this thing was originally prepared for the family business. I made it today just to try it out and taste it. I will definitely trouble you, Second Aunt, later."

Chen's face lit up, "That's great, we'll learn how to make it and see if we can sell it."

Jiang Qingyi nodded.

There were no fresh vegetables at home to serve as side dishes for the pig intestines, so Jiang Qingyi could only pull out a handful of garlic sprouts and green onions that had not grown too tall from the space.

Chen felt it was a bit of a pity to see such tender garlic sprouts being eaten, but since they were already there, she could only do her best to make them taste good!

When frying the pork intestines, Jiang Qingyi reminded Chen to add a little more oil, and the rest was up to Chen to do.
