I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1600: A notice is posted, and the owner claims the lost item.

Little Fatty cried even harder when she heard that her grandma and grandma wouldn't let her eat pig's feet.

He held Sun Shan tightly, as if grasping at the last straw.

She cried out, "Father, Xiaoxiao is injured, she needs to eat pig's feet to help her recover. Father, Xiaoxiao lost a lot of blood, eating pig's feet is good for her blood... Father, you love Xiaoxiao the most..."

Seeing her sister in such a miserable state, the little black girl took a deep breath.

Mustering her courage, she pleaded, "Uncle Shan, my sister likes to eat pig's feet. Can you give her pig's feet?"

The poor chubby girl is not only in pain from her injury, but also can't eat anything good. She's a truly pitiful creature.

However, Sun Shan said, "My dear daughter, Grandma and Mom are right. Pig's feet are considered a 'trigger food'; eating them can easily cause the wound to become red and swollen, making it difficult for the wound to heal. My dear daughter, once your wound has healed, I'll take you to the First Teahouse to eat pig's feet, okay?"

Little Fatty: .....

a bolt from the blue!

The face buried in Sun Shan's arms immediately bounced up, and she looked at Sun Shan in disbelief!

I thought it was a life-saving plant, but it turned out to be a death trap!

Sun Shan disapproved of eating it, which was equivalent to Su Shi and Yun Jie'er receiving an imperial edict that Little Fatty really, really couldn't eat pig's feet anymore.

The chubby girl struggled desperately, her clear eyes clouded with mist, turning her into a pitiful little green tea, looking pitifully at Sun Shan.

She said sweetly, "Daddy, Xiaoxiao wants to eat pig's feet so that her wound can heal faster. Daddy, you love Xiaoxiao the most, can you give Xiaoxiao pig's feet?"

Little Black Girl chimed in, "Uncle Shan, Xiaoxiao loves pig's feet the most. Eating them makes her happy and helps her wound heal faster. Can we give Xiaoxiao pig's feet?"

She paused, then added, "Little Black Girl doesn't eat pig's feet, so give them to Xiaoxiao, okay?"

Sun Shan remained adamant, saying, "Good girl, you can't eat pig's feet, it will only help your wound heal faster. The doctor said pig's feet are bad for wounds, be good, listen to me."

Little Fatty: .....

All that pleading and begging has been for nothing!

Looking utterly dejected, she pulled away from Sun Shan's embrace and slumped limply onto the bedding, choosing to avoid seeing him altogether.

At this moment, Sun Bomin came in from outside, carrying a bowl of white porridge.

She said lovingly, "My dear grandson, get up quickly and eat your porridge. After you finish your porridge, it's time to take your medicine."

Little Fatty's stomach rumbled, and when she heard there was porridge to eat, she immediately jumped up and looked at Sun Bomin expectantly.

Sun Bomin thought his chubby granddaughter was attached to him, so he rushed over and personally fed the little chubby girl.

The chubby little girl asked sweetly, "Grandpa, what kind of porridge is it? Is it delicious?"

Sun Bomin said happily, "It's delicious, it's definitely delicious. Grandpa cooked you white rice porridge until the rice oil came out. Porridge like this is delicious."

The chubby girl peeked into the bowl and saw only a bowl of plain white porridge, nothing else.

Little Fatty: ??????

Sun Bomin said with a smile, "My dear grandson, come and eat. Grandpa also brought you some dried radish. It's delicious with the white porridge."

Little Fatty: .....

Grandpa, I'm just a child, not stupid.

Can dried radish and plain congee compare to pork congee, pork liver and pork intestine congee, scallop and lean pork congee, chicken congee, fresh shrimp and crab congee...?

Little Fatty has never eaten plain porridge since she was able to eat it.

Seeing that his little chubby girl was lying on the quilt again, Sun Bomin asked in confusion, "My dear granddaughter, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we call a doctor to take a look? Don't scare your father, get up quickly."

Little Fatty is always so enthusiastic when it comes to food.

What's wrong with you today? You seem to have no appetite? Is your wound still hurting, so you can't eat porridge?

Sun Bomin asked anxiously, "Shanzi, quickly call a doctor to take a look. Xiaoxiao suffered a lot last night; she was badly injured."

Those damned hair-cutting gang members! They made Xiaoxiao bleed so much! Shanzi, quickly go and get a doctor—no, get several more to come and take a look. I'm not comfortable with just one.

Su rolled her eyes and snatched the porridge from Sun Bomin's hand.

He said bluntly, "Fatty, get up and drink your porridge. If you don't, you'll go hungry. Humph, you were raised by your grandma, she knows what you're thinking."

She paused, then continued, "You're probably tired of plain porridge. Let me tell you, you can only have plain porridge for the next few days. Don't even think about meat porridge. And definitely don't think about pig's feet. The wound is deep, so you can't eat anything too strong. You have to eat something light. Get up now, or you'll go hungry at noon."

Sister Yun secretly gave Su a thumbs up.

The chubby girl became spoiled and demanded more benefits from her injury.

Hmph, dream on! To make my wound heal faster, I absolutely cannot eat rich, fatty foods!

Yun Jie'er said to Sun Shan and Sun Bomin, "Brother Shan, Father, you go and do your work. Xiao Xiao can be taken care of by me and Mother. If you're here, the little girl won't want to eat."

Sun Bomin looked at the chubby girl with heartache.

He patiently explained, "My dear grandson, the doctor instructed that you should eat light meals these days, with less oil and salt, and preferably no meat, so that your wound will heal faster. My dear grandson, just bear with it, and when your wound is healed, Grandpa will butcher a chicken for you."

In fact, when the doctor saw how much fat the little girl had, he suggested she lose weight.

During illness, it is even more important to avoid consuming large amounts of meat and fish.

Firstly, most meats are considered "heating" foods, which can hinder wound healing.

Secondly, since the little chubby girl is already chubby, she can eat less meat and avoid taking too many supplements, lest she become even fatter.

After hearing the first part of the doctor's orders, Sister Yun focused on the second part.

Because of the unprecedented level of cooperation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Little Fatty lost a full ten pounds during her recovery period.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

At this very moment, Little Fatty was painfully filling her stomach with plain porridge and dried radish, because Sun Shan had been kicked out because of Sun Bomin.

One to two, the chubby girl was completely defeated.

The little black girl looked at the little fat girl with heartache.

She thought to herself that she had to be careful not to get her little hand cut by the hair clippers, otherwise she would end up like Xiaoxiao, only able to eat plain porridge.

The little black girl is so cute eating meat.

After lunch, Sun Shan went to the front yard to take his shift.

Master Zhang stepped forward with over thirty purses and asked, "Sir, what should we do with these purses and jewelry? Should we post a lost and found notice?"

The purses of various sizes, along with the jewelry, were worth over 100 taels of silver in total. Among them, the green bamboo purse from Magistrate Wang's house was the most valuable, containing a 20-tael silver note.

Unfortunately, Magistrate Wang recognized it at a glance and the owner claimed it immediately.

Sun Shan held a grudge about this.

Sun Shan stared greedily at the purse and jewelry.

With a heavy heart, he said, "Post a notice and let the owner claim it. If no one claims it, it will be confiscated."

Sun Shan hoped that the purses and jewelry would remain unclaimed, so that he could replenish the yamen's treasury.

This gang of scissors-wielding thieves is really professional; they managed to cut up so much valuables. If they hadn't been caught, they would have made a fortune.

Master Zhang looked at Sun Shan with starry eyes and replied, "Yes, sir. There might be life-saving money inside that can help the owner. You will be doing a great service, sir."

Sun Shan: .....

I don't want this kind of merit at all!

Finally, he said, "Bring me the two fish lanterns from the 'Cut-off' gang. I'll take them back and study them."

Master Zhang looked at Sun Shan with a big question mark in his eyes.

Sun Shan chose to ignore it.

My little girl is injured and isn't eating well, so taking two fish lanterns home to cheer her up might be a good idea.

Such a reason could not be stated, so he said he would take it back for further study.

As for what he was researching, Sun Shan didn't know either.
