She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 65 - Something has happened
Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Something has happened!
Chapter 65 -65 Something has happened!
Xiang Ying turned around, feeling that Jie Chen was somewhat different today.
He had never been seen in new clothes.
Although the clothes today were also black, the fabric was obviously brand new.
He walked over to Xiang Ying, a fresh scent of soapberries emanating from him.
Jie Chen said in a cold tone: “Who allowed you to run around? Why aren’t you staying on top? What are you doing down here?”
Xiang Ying snapped back to reality, picking up the fishing net in her hand: “You don’t want this, so give it to me.”
Skinny Monkey reminded: “Take it, but how will you use it since it’s broken?”
“Didn’t you hear? Patch it up and it lasts another three years.” Saying that, Xiang Ying left carrying the fishing net.
Jie Chen stared at her retreating figure.
Didn’t she notice that he had cleaned up?
Skinny Monkey rubbed his hands and smiled: “Military Supervisor, did you come down for any other instructions?”
Jie Chen’s face was cold: “Hurry up and tidy up, don’t make me come to urge you again.”
He walked away again.
Skinny Monkey felt that Jie Jianjun’s thoughts were becoming increasingly difficult to guess.
There were several large wooden boxes at the bottom of the ship cabin, which due to age emitted a rotten smell.
Skinny Monkey didn’t bother to make space, but simply waved his hand: “Bring that group of prisoners down, let them sleep here.”
Soon, more than twenty prisoners were brought down.
Skinny Monkey had the windows sealed shut, not fearing they would escape downstream.
Just then, Scar Face came looking for him with Liu Taipin.
“Skinny Monkey, can you squeeze one more person in here?”
Skinny Monkey turned his head and saw Liu Taipin standing behind Scar Face, clutching his sleeve, eyes a bit cautious.
“Sure,” Skinny Monkey joked with a smile, “Would Scar Master really stand to lock his mother up here?”
Scar Face’s expression darkened: “Screw you, other people joking is one thing, but even you talk like that, be careful I might skin you!”
“This old lady is annoying enough, follows me everywhere, last night she even stood by my bed while I was sleeping.”
“I am going to patrol now, having her with me might get me scolded by the Military Supervisor, so I’ll lock her up here for now.”
Saying this, he pushed Liu Taipin into the lower hold.
Liu Taipin nervously got up: “Doudou, don’t leave.”
Her withered hand tightly grasped Scar Face’s arm.
Scar Face didn’t want to push her into stumbling again.
So he patiently lied to her: “Wait here, I’m going to find food, I’ll be back soon.”
Liu Taipin’s eyes filled with unease: “Will you really come back?”
“Of course, didn’t I stay with you all of yesterday?”
Reassured by his promise, Liu Taipin slowly let go of his hand.
“Be careful, the outside is all water.” Her weathered face had deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
When not ill, her admonishing tone was very calm, not at all like someone mentally unstable.
Scar Face perfunctorily waved and hurriedly pulled the cabin door shut, letting Skinny Monkey lock it from outside with a chain.
Having gotten rid of Liu Taipin, he felt a breath of relief.
Skinny Monkey asked: “Really letting her be?”
“It’s none of my business in the first place, why should I care? I’ve done all I could!” Their voices gradually faded away.
After they left, Liu Taipin was originally sitting by the door, so that the moment Doudou returned, he could see her right away.
However, in the cabin, suddenly squeaking noises emerged.
Several large black rats, emerged through the cracks of the boxes.
The prisoners screamed in fear.
These people were previously nobles from Xizhou, and seeing rats felt even more disgusted.
A group of them stomping and stomping their feet, someone cried out.
As though they were bitten by a rat.
But no one paid heed.
Liu Taipin crouched by the door, frightened, clutching her head.
“Doudou, Doudou, come back quickly.” She muttered over and over.
Meanwhile, Xiang Ying stood at the bow of the boat, pretending to set the net.
Soon, she pulled up the fishing net, which was full of clams and river shrimp she had put in.
“Yuanxiao, bring the basin quick!”
Xiang Ying entered the room holding a half basin full of lively jumping river shrimps, and stunned Tao Xue and the others.
“elder princess, were all these caught from the river?”
“Of course, there were also some small fish, but I released them. These are enough for us to eat, not being greedy so that the River God is happy and sends us fish every day.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xiuxiu immediately put her hands together, ran to the door, and bowed with her small body bent.
“Thank you, Grandpa River God, for blessing us with plenty of fish and shrimp every day.” Her childish speech made Xiang Ying laugh.
Xiang Yuanlang tugged at her dress: “You might as well pray to me instead.”
Xiang Xiuxiu then waved her little hand: “No need, I listen to my mother.”
Xiang Ying had Qi Fengyi and Tao Xue wash the clams.
These clams had been soaked in fresh salt water when taken out of the spatial storage, expelling a lot of sand.
Just a simple rinse twice more and they would be ready to eat.
Then Xiang Ying heated the pot and added a small piece of lard.
She threw in some green onion sections to stir-fry, followed by the cleaned river shrimps.
The sizzling sound, accompanied by the fragrant smell drifted through the air.
“How fragrant!” Xiang Yuanshuo and his younger siblings squatted by the small pot, their eyes wide and round.
Xiang Ying first made a dish of stir-fried river shrimps, letting Tao Xue and the kids share it.

She also set aside two portions to send to Xiang Li.
Afterward, Xiang Ying used the pot to cook clam soup, the milky white soup burbling with bubbles.
Each child held a bowl, drinking while watching Xiang Ying add kneaded noodle dough into the pot.
The soup was only seasoned with salt and pepper, and it was wonderfully delicious.
Even in the summer heat, the children indulged sweatily but happily.
It seemed like a bustling food stand inside Xiang Ying’s house.
The Seventh Princess and Yu Pin had both come by, asking for a bowl of clam noodle soup.
Lin Lingxiang then took half a pot to share with Xiang Li and Mr. Lin.
Xiang Ying was not stingy; after everyone was full, she stewed another pot.
She and Qi Fengyi carried it to the dining cabin of the soldiers.
At this moment, everyone there was chewing on buns and eating pickles.
Suddenly smelling the enticing aroma, they looked up, one after another.
Fang Qian was among them.
Xiang Ying poured the clam soup into their pot.
To the stunned cook in charge, she said: “The fishing net was a gift from Skinny Captain, and I caught plenty of clams with it.”
“To thank him, consider this meal on me.”
After she finished speaking, the soldiers sitting there didn’t dare to move.
Their eyes uniformly turned to Supervisor Ke, who was the highest-ranking person there.
Jie Chen and Supervisor Wei were not present, all waiting for his response.
Yet, Supervisor Ke simply put down his chopsticks, gave Xiang Ying a cold look, and walked away with big strides.
Xiang Ying didn’t mind him, just looked at everyone else: “Eat or not, it’s up to you.”
She took her pot and left.
Fang Qian jumped up leading the way: “Give me a bowl.”
He had no idea that the elder princess was skilled at cooking?
As soon as he tasted the savory soup, Fang Qian’s eyes widened in delight.
Delicious, truly delicious!
Seeing someone else test it first, the rest of the soldiers then came forward to fetch the soup.
After tasting the clam soup, the soldiers felt that Xiang Ying’s cooking was excellent.
For two consecutive days, whenever Xiang Ying made fish soup or crab porridge, she would share a pot with the soldiers.
There was no other reason; she was simply paving her way.
Dealing with water bandits was to show off her ability, but winning people’s hearts was equally important.
To maintain a leading position in the Exile Team, Xiang Ying utilized her patience fully.
Life is full of unexpected changes, and that evening, the gloomy sky began to thunder and lightning.
In no time, torrential rain poured down as expected.
The dangerous river was already uneven in terrain with undercurrents surging.
Now, faced with the thunderstorm, the ships rocked even more violently.
Xiang Ying hugged the children to sleep, hearing the rapid footsteps of the soldiers outside.
The voice of a spy soldier immediately followed: “Quick, go tell the three Supervisors, the second ship has hit a reef, and water is starting to leak into the cabin!”
