Lu Lin, who resigned from a big city, returned to the countryside to inherit the small supermarket left by his parents. A thunderstorm then sent Lu Lin to an unfamiliar ancient era.
Lu Lin wa...
After Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin finished talking, Lu Lin went to cook.
Chen Xiaocai slipped out and asked, "Big brother, what did that guy say to you?"
Chen Xiaomi had just received the stolen goods from Lu Lin and felt a little uneasy. It wasn't that she didn't trust her brother; Chen Xiaomi just felt that there was no need to tell him about this and make him feel uneasy.
"We discussed going into the city tomorrow."
Chen Xiaocai looked at Chen Xiaomi with some frustration, feeling that her older brother had changed. Now that he had a husband like Lu Lin who had married into the family, he was no longer close to her. However, Lu Lin was a very good cook, so it was hard to dislike him.
“Is that how it is?” Chen Xiaocai asked.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "That's right."
This wasn't Chen Xiaomi's first time delivering goods to the city; she was quite experienced at it.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How about I help you carry some meat?"
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, frowned slightly, and said, "No need, just don't say you can't walk anymore halfway."
Lu Lin: "..." The husband's authority is not upheld! The husband's authority is not upheld. This girl Chen Xiaomi actually underestimates her husband like this. However... if we walk there, it seems to take an hour. Because the distance from the village to the town is far, the villagers usually don't go to the town. If they do go, they take an oxcart.
Lu Lin felt he needed to improve his image in Chen Xiaomi's mind, but could he really walk?
Because he was going to the town, Lu Lin got up early and made breakfast.
Lu Lin took out some wheat flour from the convenience store.
Lu Lin added some water to a bowl, cracked an egg into it, then added chopped green onions, flour, and a little salt, stirring to make a batter. He poured some oil into a pan and added the batter. The batter quickly solidified in the pan. Seeing it was almost done, Lu Lin flipped the pancake over and cooked it on the other side.
Soon, a fragrant and tender egg pancake was ready.
Lu Lin fried seven pancakes before stopping, one egg per pancake, for a total of seven eggs.
If the villagers saw Lu Lin cooking like this, they would probably be furious. The villagers live frugally, and eating eggs like this is a real luxury.
Lu Lin hid the three flatbreads on the counter of the convenience store so that he could take them out if he wanted to eat them on the way.
Chen Xiaomi had never seen such a flatbread before, and she ate it all in one go.
"This pancake is delicious, what is it made of?" Chen Xiaomi asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Eggs,” Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi licked her fingers with lingering satisfaction and said, "Using eggs again!"
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, feeling somewhat puzzled. The Lu family owned a lot of land and was quite wealthy in the village, but how could they eat so extravagantly?
Lu Lin smiled and said, "You can often find wild eggs in the mountains and forests. Just eat them and then go find more."
Chen Xiaomi pursed her lips and said in a strange tone, "You're really lucky, but if you keep picking them up like this, there probably won't be any wild eggs left to pick up soon."
Lu Lin thought to himself: I've been eating eggs too much lately. If I keep going like this, I'm afraid the two baskets of eggs will be gone in no time. But then Lu Lin thought again and realized that there was still a long time before the eggs were gone, so he could deal with it later.
Besides the egg pancakes, Lu Lin also cooked some porridge. The two of them each ate an egg pancake and a bowl of porridge before setting off.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on.
After walking for a while, Lu Lin felt a sharp pain in the soles of his feet.
Chen Xiaomi was probably used to it; even carrying a large basket on her back, she still walked briskly.
Lu Lin suddenly missed his old car. He had a second-hand Alto that cost him only 30,000 yuan. The car was a bit dilapidated, but it was enough for his daily commute.
After walking for more than half an hour, Lu Lin was starting to feel the strain.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin and asked, "Do you want to stop and rest for a bit?"
Lu Lin's lips twitched slightly. Chen Xiaomi didn't look red or out of breath, so the reason she suggested stopping to rest was because of him.
Lu Lin forced a smile and said, "Let's get going."
Chen Xiaomi gave Lu Lin a meaningful look a few times and said, "Alright."
Chen Xiaomi walked ahead, with Lu Lin following behind. Lu Lin vaguely sensed that Chen Xiaomi seemed to have slowed down her pace. He had a strange feeling that Chen Xiaomi was being considerate of him. A warm feeling flashed through Lu Lin's heart. He thought to himself: Chen Xiaomi is usually fierce, but she actually has a very good personality.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi and suddenly said, "I brought out two egg pancakes, do you want some?"
Chen Xiaomi turned her head to look at Lu Lin and said unhappily, "Eat, eat, eat. Winter is coming soon."
Despite saying that, Chen Xiaomi still snatched an egg pancake and ate it.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi and blinked. He had already noticed that Shuang'er had a big appetite. Although Chen Xiaomi usually ate quite a lot, she was actually quite restrained.
"Why is it hot?"
Without hesitation, Lu Lin replied, "I keep it close to my body."
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, unsure whether she believed him or not.
