Chapter 82 Curious Cousin

But Su Yujin naturally couldn't talk about this little trick in public.

"Growing vegetables, mushrooms, etc. doesn't really take up much land. If you have some free time, you can go to the outskirts of the county and buy a few acres. It's closer to here and more convenient."

Seeing Su Yujin's answer, He Yanxiu paused for a moment before nodding, "Okay, come whenever it's convenient for you."

After all, although his own farm was not far from Qinghe County, it would still take two hours to get there. The round trip would take most of the day, which was really tiring.

For things like this, the closer and more convenient it is, the better.

It was just that whatever he gave to Su Yujin, she always accepted it with great joy.

But this time…

Rejected.

I suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort in my heart.

Su Yujin could also see that He Yanxiu was acting strange, so she quickly changed the subject, "Second Master, are you going to leave tonight, or are you going to have dinner here? If you are going to have dinner, I'll have someone prepare it early."

"Eat here and stay for two or three days before leaving." He Yanxiu replied.

"Okay, then tonight..." Su Yujin paused, "How about eating lamb ribs? I got a fresh whole lamb a few years ago. I sorted the meat into categories. The spine is intact, so I can make a stew with it. I can also put some vegetables and frozen tofu in the pot. It will taste good and keep you warm."

The most important thing is that it can be cooked in one pot, and the rest can be asked to Ai Cao and Mother Liu to pick and wash some side dishes. It is also more convenient and there is no need to rack your brains to think of various dishes.

"All good."

He trusted Su Yujin's craftsmanship.

Moreover, although from what Su Yujin said, lamb ribs seem to be just stewed lamb bones, the name sounds very unique.

I think it should taste very good.

He Yanxiu could now distinguish a little bit of the taste, and he was looking forward to eating more and more. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva twice.

Su Yujin poured more hot tea for He Yanxiu and told Ai Cao and Mother Liu to prepare things.

When He Yanxiu's time is almost up, he pulls out the silver needle.

After each acupuncture treatment, He Yanxiu felt much more relaxed, and this time was no exception.

Because he had been sitting for a long time, He Yanxiu was now able to move freely, so he walked back and forth in the yard. Seeing several large water tanks in the yard, each with a few fish in it, he went to take a look.

This tank has crucian carp, that tank has carp, the next tank has grass carp, and the next tank has...

He Yanxiu was a little surprised to see that the last jar was empty. He asked Su Yujin who was busy there, "What is in this jar? Why can't I see it?"

"Shrimp." Su Yujin didn't even raise her head.

He Yanxiu, "..."

Xing'an, "..."

Is Miss Su so bold now? Even though she is highly valued by the Second Master because of her medical skills and the Second Master is very generous to her, in reality, the Second Master is the master and there is no reason for her to speak to him like this.

He Yanxiu paused for a moment, then raised his head after a while, "But are they river shrimps?"

"Of course." Su Yujin was a little confused by the question.

Of course it’s not shrimp.

Xing'an's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally settled down.

He is indeed blind.

Even a little silly...

Su Yujin, Liu Mama and Ai Cao were busy at work, and when the sun set, the steaming lamb rib pot was served on the table.

A whole sheep's spine was stewed in a large iron pot, which was then served into two casseroles. One pot was eaten by Su Yujin and He Yanxiu, while the other was eaten by Liu Mama, Ai Cao, and Xing'an in another room.

The stewed soup has a bright color and rich flavor. The charcoal fire is simmering at the bottom of the pot. The lamb ribs mixed with the rich soup are bubbling. The aroma mixed with the hot air floats up and drills into the nostrils. Just smelling it is enough to make people salivate.

When eating, whether it is frozen tofu or fresh cabbage leaves, each of them has absorbed the rich soup in the lamb rib pot, and tastes delicious and tasty.

Even someone like He Yanxiu, whose sense of taste is not as good as that of an ordinary person, thought that the lamb rib hotpot was extremely delicious. He couldn't stop eating with his chopsticks.

It was windy at night.

The room was warm and filled with fragrance.

Outside the house, the cold wind rustled the branches and occasionally the cotton curtains were lifted.

After the curtains shook again, Su Yujin couldn't stand the noise anymore and prepared to get up and close the door.

He Yanxiu stopped her and said, "Don't worry. If you close the door, the greedy cat won't be able to sneak in."

Su Yujin was a little confused, "Cat?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Or are you just a greedy person?

Where did this creature come from?

Before Su Yujin could say that there had never been a cat in the house, the curtain was lifted and a figure wearing a water lotus red cloak entered the room.

She was a pretty young girl of about fifteen or sixteen, with an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She took off her cloak, revealing a tight-fitting outfit in the same water lotus red color with narrow sleeves.

Seeing He Yanzheng sitting at the table and eating the delicious hotpot with gusto, Lu Wenjing frowned and pouted, "Cousin, if you already knew I was outside, why did you say it now? I have been freezing outside for so long in vain."

"If you hadn't followed me here secretly, you wouldn't have been cold." He Yanxiu didn't even raise his head as he scooped a piece of frozen tofu from the pot.

By the way, it was the first time he had eaten tofu frozen into a honeycomb shape, and it tasted really good.

When I return to the capital city in the future, I can ask the chef at home to cook this for me.

"I'm just curious." Lu Wenjing chuckled, "My six brothers are all discussing what kind of beauty this courtesan looks like that made my cousin not stay in the capital on New Year's Day and brave the cold wind to come to Qinghe County."

"I thought, instead of guessing, I might as well come and take a look myself, so I rode to Qinghe County to look for you, my cousin."

When He Yanxiu heard this, the chopsticks in his hand paused in the air for a moment, "How many people's yards did you jump into before you got here?"

"Not many, only about thirty or so..."

He Yanxiu, "..."

Su Yujin, "..."

Good one, not much.

Seeing that He Yanxiu was about to start a lecture, Lu Wenjing said hurriedly, "I was very careful and definitely did not alert the host. In fact, when I arrived at this courtyard, I thought that you, cousin, probably weren't here."

Because the flower beds in the yard were all planted with vegetables, and the big tanks were full of edible fish, it didn't look like the yard where a courtesan lived.

"But I heard the voice of that brat Xing'an, and I took a peek through the gap in the curtain..."

I had a high fever for the past two days, and today the temperature finally came down. However, I am still dizzy because of the continuous high fever. Maybe too many brain cells were burned to death...o(╥﹏╥)o 　　Even the doctors in the hospital said that it is rare to see adults with viral colds have a fever of 39.3. You are amazing.

Me: Is this something to be proud of?
