A modern worker with consistently bad luck - Luo Chaoyan, was blown into a strange ancient time by a typhoon.
Her father is a fifth-rank petty official, and her mother is the daughter of a we...
Chapter 54
When Fengli brought Huo Shun and Huo Ze back, she discovered that the young masters of the Liang family were also there.
Huo Ze and Huo Shun ran to Huo Rui and asked what was going on.
Huo Rui told them everything about the fishing competition without missing a word.
Huo Ze and Huo Shun looked regretful. How could they have missed such an exciting game?
After the firewood was lit, Shu Lan quickly asked Huo Rui and Huo Yu to come over to dry their clothes. I was afraid that the two young masters would catch a cold.
Yin Miaoshan and Fengli skillfully smeared a layer of yellow mud from the stream on the raw sweet potatoes. This was what Luo Chaoyan taught them when they were in Jeju. The sweet potatoes baked in this way taste better.
Luo Chaoyan put the sweet potatoes that they had smeared with mud on them and roasted them on the charcoal fire.
The sweet potatoes were baked in no time.
She kicked them out carefully one by one with a branch.
Huo Rui had long wanted to try the roasted sweet potatoes they mentioned. He was anxious to reach out and pick one up.
"hiss!"
He cried out softly, "It's hot!"
Yin Miaoshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait for it to cool down."
Luo Chaoyan wrapped three or four of them with pineapple leaves and handed them to Shi Mengdie and the other three.
"Try it."
Shi Mengdie took it and said, "Thank you!"
Liang Chumo looked at the thing wrapped in yellow mud and asked, "What is this?"
Huo Shun said proudly, "You don't know what this is, do you?"
"This is sweet potato!" Huo Ze said.
"Sweet potato?" Liang Chumo was stunned.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Well, if you knock off the mud on the outside, there's a sweet potato inside." As she said that, she picked up one and gently knocked off the outer layer of mud, and the sweet potato was instantly revealed inside.
While they were talking, Huo Rui and Huo Yu had already eaten one.
They were eating so voraciously that Luo Chaoyan felt it was embarrassing and wanted to throw them out.
Huo An also looked very satisfied while eating, "Delicious!"
When he wanted to reach out to take it, he found that it was gone. He looked at Huo Rui who was still holding one in his hand. He smacked his lips and said with sparkling eyes, "Brother!"
"An An, you are too fat. You can't eat too much." Huo Rui ignored his pitiful look, peeled the skin and stuffed it directly into his mouth to chew.
Huo An was so angry that he pointed at him and called him bad.
Huo An looked at Liang Chumo, who was holding half a sweet potato in his hand.
Seeing this, Liang Chumo also hurriedly peeled the skin and started to eat it, fearing that if he was slow, Huo An would ask him for more. This was only the second one he ate. Huo Rui has already eaten three.
Liang Chuxun still felt unsatisfied after eating it. He didn't expect that just an ordinary sweet potato could taste so good.
"Boss, this roasted sweet potato is so delicious!" Huo Ze also ate it with a very satisfied look on his face.
Huo Yu nodded and said heartlessly, "I didn't let you down for the beating I gave you."
"Huo Yu!" Huo Rui glared at him, warning him not to say it out loud.
Liang Chumo became interested after hearing this, and asked with a curious look on his face, "What's going on?"
"It's okay!" Huo Rui glared at him.
Luo Chaoyan had no intention of hiding anything for him, and said bluntly, "Nothing, he just wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so he went to dig up someone else's, and was chased all over the ground and beaten."
"Haha! Really?" Liang Chumo showed undisguised gloating.
"Huo Rui, you have come to this day!" The depression he had just felt about losing to Huo Rui was instantly swept away.
Pineapple brought over the cleaned fish.
Luo Chaoyan put the fish on the grill and waited for the moisture in the fish to dry out.
Fengli took out a few bottles from the cloth bag and placed them in front of her. Luo Chaoyan then took out a bottle of oil and poured some on a branch with small leaves. Then gently sweep over the fish.
Looking at those bottles and jars, Huo Rui's face was full of curiosity. He looked at Feng Li and asked, "What are these?"
"Seasoning powder!" said Pineapple.
"Is it that spicy powder?" He still remembered that the last time he was being chased, Luo Chaoyan used this powder to sprinkle on the bad guys. Let those evildoers see blindly.
Pineapple nodded, "Yes, one of them is, and its name is pepper!"
When the fish was almost cooked, Luo Chaoyan began to pour various seasoning powders into the fish.
After a while, the fragrance spread everywhere.
Everyone was so hungry by the aroma.
Luo Chaoyan was afraid of the heat, so she wrapped one end of the bamboo skewer with the fish in leaves.
"Okay, the first fish is ready."
Huo An fluttered his body and tried to reach out to take it. He looked very confident and said, "I...eat!"
Yin Miaoshan teased him, "Why did you eat first?"
Huo An thought about it blankly, and said seriously, "I'm young!"
Luo Chaoyan smiled, looked at everyone and said, "Is everyone okay with this?"
Everyone nodded. After all, Huo An was indeed the youngest here. Although they wanted to eat too, they were not going to snatch the food from a little brother.
Huo Rui and Liang Chumo could only watch Huo An eat with gusto.
What's even more outrageous is that the little guy, as if to take revenge on them for not giving him sweet potatoes, held up the grilled fish and came close to them, asking them to smell it. Then he started eating it in front of them without any hesitation.
This caused the others to burst into laughter.
In order to feed everyone, Luo Chaoyan had to work hard. Only after all the fish were roasted did everyone sit down on the ground, touching their round bellies.
Liang Chumo was completely impressed by Huo Rui's stepmother's grilled fish. He gave her a thumbs up and said, "Madam, your cooking skills are really good."
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "That's all I know." When she was in modern times, because she was an orphan, she earned the tuition for college during the winter and summer vacations and her free time.
She worked in a barbecue restaurant for several years. I didn’t expect that a skill that is used for survival in modern times has become a recreational skill in ancient times.
Huo Rui, Huo Yu and others also looked very satisfied. It was truly the most delicious thing they had ever eaten. The main reason is that they worked hard today and they thought these things tasted particularly delicious.
After everyone had eaten their fill, Shu Lan washed and cut the pears and served them to everyone so that they could help relieve the greasiness.
"This pear is quite sweet." Liang Chumo said.
Huo Rui said: "This is picked on the back hill. If you want to eat it, go pick it yourself."
"Stingy!" Liang Chumo rolled his eyes at him.
Luo Chaoyan said, "If you like it, I'll bring some back for you later. We picked a lot."
Liang Chumo then smiled and nodded, glaring at Huo Rui provocatively.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Mengdie decided to take her two nephews back to the farm, otherwise her cousin would have something to say.
"Thank you for your hospitality today, Madam."
Luo Chaoyan waved her hand and said, "Miss Shi, you are too polite."
Liang Chuxun and Liang Chumo also bowed to her and thanked her.
Liang Chumo looked at Luo Chaoyan and said, "Madam, which farm are you guys at?"
As a rival for many years, how could Huo Rui not know what he meant? This guy just wanted to find an opportunity to come to his house and eat for free.
"We'll go home soon." He lied with his eyes open without blushing or breathing.
Although Luo Chaoyan likes to play with a lot of people, she can also watch Huo Rui get humiliated. Just thinking that Liang Qianyi was their aunt, she felt reluctant to express her gratitude. What if that peacock spirit comes along to cause trouble?
Although she was quite happy to see this arrogant young lady being humiliated, she was afraid that if someone complained to the old lady, her freedom would be over, so she did not refute Huo Rui's words.
Liang Chuxun said, "Young Madam, we will take our leave first." As he said that, he asked someone to send some of the hunted prey to them.
look! This little boy knows how to behave and do things. Luo Chaoyan thanked him with a smile. If he didn't look so mature, she would have wanted to rub his little face.
After the Liang family's men left, Huo Rui saw Luo Chaoyan still looking reluctant to leave, and rolled his eyes, "Woman, are you so reluctant to leave me? You've been home for so many days, why don't you feel reluctant to leave An An?"
Huo An shook his little head and nodded, also with an accusatory look on his face.
Luo Chaoyan didn't bother to pay attention to them. She stretched and said, "Let's go back too."
