There is a god in the sky

Chapter 4 Adopted Daughter Lanxiang 4

Old Master Wei slept until noon, when he was woken up by hunger.

He smelled the aroma of food and jumped out of bed.

His daughter's hands are truly amazing; she can manipulate corpses, embroider, and cook, and she's top-notch in all of them.

The reason why Master Wei has been so good to her over the years is half due to her stomach being conquered.

He ran to the kitchen and saw Wei Lanxiang making pancakes with precious wheat flour, and his face immediately lit up with a smile.

Aoki Prefecture is in the south, where wheat is not grown, let alone finely milled wheat flour.

However, Wei Lanxiang likes noodles and occasionally buys wheat flour at a high price to make different kinds of dishes.

This is a very precious item; most people can't prepare it without the skill.

But Wei Lanxiang simply added eggs and chopped green onions to make fragrant egg pancakes.

The eggs are laid by our own hens, and the scallions are also grown by us. One pound of wheat flour is enough to make many pancakes.

After a quick wash, Old Master Wei eagerly sat down at the table and ladled a bowl of soup for each of them.

It's a very simple seaweed and dried shrimp soup, but it tastes delicious.

The father and daughter have earned some money over the years, so they shouldn't be living in such a dilapidated place. However, they both have very discerning palates, and most of their money goes into food.

In addition, he often provided free medical care and medicine to his neighbors, so he really didn't have much money left.

After they had filled their stomachs, Old Man Wei said nostalgically, "It's hot, and I see that the chickens at home have all gotten thin. Why don't we kill one and make beggar's chicken?"

Ever since he tasted Wei Lanxiang's beggar's chicken, he has never forgotten it.

Wei Lanxiang agreed without hesitation, "Killing the chicken is fine, but we won't eat beggar's chicken today, let's make soup instead."

She considered that there was an injured person in her family who, if still alive, could drink some chicken soup to help them recover.

Old Master Wei then remembered that there was a half-dead person at home, so he quickly ran over to check if the person was still breathing.

After tidying up the kitchen, Wei Lanxiang moved a chair to the old locust tree in the yard and started reading in the good sunlight.

After watching for half an hour, there was a slightly hurried knock on the door.

The Wei family's courtyard gate is never locked, and the nearest residents live in the village across the river.

The villagers all knew that Wei Laodao and his daughter dealt with the dead, and unless they were seeking medical treatment, no one dared to come over.

Wei Lanxiang went to open the door and saw a young girl dressed as a maid standing outside. Knowing what was going on, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The maid took a step back in disgust, covering her mouth and nose, and said, "Miss Wei, I am from the Ding family in the county town. My mistress requests that you come to our residence."

Wei Lanxiang didn't care about her attitude and nodded.

"Wait a moment, I'll give you a few instructions and then I'll be there."

"Please hurry."

The maid glanced at the sun; it was already past noon, and it would still take another half an hour to get back to the city.

I don't know why the lady would invite such a woman into the mansion.

Even at midday, the Wei family's residence exuded a sinister aura, which was truly frightening.

Wei Lanxiang didn't keep her waiting too long. She combed her hair again, changed into clean clothes, gave Wei Laodao some instructions, and then went out.

Old Master Wei didn't know what she was planning to do, but he saw Wei Lanxiang slip a letter into the Ding family's display cabinet while they were in a flurry of activity yesterday.

He could never understand this girl, not even when she was little.

At first, I thought she was scared out of her mind. Later, I thought she was a bit crazy. But after spending more time with her, I felt that she was different from others in every way, as if she had lived longer and knew more than him.

She is a very principled person, and Old Master Wei is not worried about her doing anything reckless.
