Chapter Ninety-Four: No, are you sick?
Zhou Congsheng smoked a roe deer with cypress leaves, cut it into small pieces, strung them on rope, and hung a few pieces on the beam of the main room. He put the rest of the smoked meat in a basket, hung it on the beam, and tied the rope to nails on the wall.
From then on, Shen Yuzhu could eat whenever she wanted, simply by loosening the rope.
Three smoked chickens and half a smoked venison were placed in the kitchen. The goat meat was rather gamey, and Shen Yuzhu couldn't stand the smell.
Turning my head, I saw Shen Yuzhu's little face scrunched up in disgust, which looked incredibly cute.
"What's wrong?"
"It smells awful!"
His soft, gentle voice was so soothing to the ear. He wanted to reach out and rub Shen Yuzhu's face, but then he remembered that he had been busy all afternoon and his hands probably wouldn't smell good. After a moment's thought, he suddenly lowered his head and gently rubbed his forehead against hers.
Shen Yuzhu stared at her with wide eyes. Their gazes met, and countless stars seemed to ignite between them.
The air became scorching hot. Strangely enough, at this moment, Shen Yuzhu felt as if she could no longer smell any unpleasant odors; her mind and eyes were filled only with the person in front of her.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment; neither of them moved.
Zhou Congsheng only intended to do this, but he actually had something to say to Shen Yuzhu. However, after making the move, he forgot what he was going to say.
"Cough cough cough... Why did it suddenly get so hot today? It feels like... it could burn me up."
Zhou Congsheng swallowed hard; those words made him feel incredibly agitated.
She was already flirtatious enough, but she always said these inexplicable things. Zhou Congsheng felt that if he were to die young one day, it would definitely be because she had been flirted to death.
"I stewed some mutton for you, with ginger, scallions and loose white wine. It doesn't have any gamey smell at all. Go and try it."
"But the whole yard smells of burning cypress leaves and mutton, it's so awful, what should we do?"
Zhou Congsheng turned his head and glanced at the yard. Fortunately, he and Feng Zhengyang had been outside making the smoked meat that afternoon, otherwise his sister would have been extremely disgusted!
"I'll go out and cover it with snow later, then put the mutton in the jar and cover it with snow again. The smell won't be so strong tomorrow."
"All right!"
The goat meat was stewed until very tender, and the cabbage and tofu were also very flavorful. Shen Yuzhu made her own chili oil dipping sauce.
After a hot meal, I felt warm all over.
"By the way, did you throw away all the goat's offal?"
"No, I've already packed it up and put it in the jar. If you want to eat it, I can make it for you tomorrow, okay?"
"No need, I can do it myself. Let my sister and the others come over and have a mutton hot pot together."
"good."
After they finished eating, they washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
Shen Yuzhu stayed in the space for a while, feeling unbearably hot all over. Drinking a glass of ice water didn't help. She shook her head, turned around and left the room, thinking that cooling off in the courtyard might make her feel better.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhou Congsheng standing in the yard wearing only a thin shirt. She was startled and quickly pulled him into the house.
"Are you crazy? What's wrong with you at night? It's so cold, and you're dressed like that in the yard. Do you want to freeze to death?"
Zhou Congsheng was breathing rapidly, his eyes were slightly red, and his whole body was trembling slightly. He looked at the mouth that was chattering in front of him and wished he could just shut it up.
"Zhou Congsheng, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
"I'm hot."
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
What a coincidence, I'm hot too!!!
But there's no need to go this crazy. It doesn't look like heat; it looks like a fever.
"We only ate mutton for dinner, what else did we eat? Blood? I know mutton is warming and nourishing, but I've never heard of it being this warming and nourishing. Is this goat some kind of special thing?"
"Blood, it's blood, Zhuzhu, the one we ate tonight, I think I put deer blood in it."
"!!!"
"......."
No way, are you crazy? Why would you put deer blood in your cooking so late at night? Is that something you can just eat whenever you want, honey?
Young people already have plenty of energy and blood, so eating such highly nourishing foods is practically suffocating them, isn't it?
"I put the sheep's blood and deer's blood together, but I may have taken the wrong ones when I was making it."
Shen Yuzhu: "......"
You just have to see if I believe you or not, that's all?
Zhou Congsheng swallowed hard. He felt that if he stayed in the same space as Shen Yuzhu any longer, something bad would happen sooner or later.
If you ask him why he used deer blood, the reason is simply that he was craving it.
He had heard about it before, but he didn't believe it. Now that he had it himself, he was determined to give it a try.
Wow, I only realized how nourishing this stuff is after I tried it!
She had only taken two steps forward when she suddenly stopped. For some reason, her nose was clear, and blood was dripping down her nose. Shen Yuzhu, who was standing next to her, stared in disbelief.
Is it really that amazing?
"Look up, look up, God, you really know how to make trouble for yourself. Next time, you shouldn't cook, little brother. I'm afraid you'll kill yourself at such a young age."
Zhou Congsheng wanted to speak, but his chin was being held up by Shen Yuzhu. After a period of chaos, the nosebleed finally stopped.
After a while, both of his noses were stuffed with paper, making him look rather pathetic.
"Drink water, drink more. I never expected our Captain Zhou to be so mischievous. He actually insisted on eating it just because he didn't believe it was so nutritious."
Zhou Congsheng looked a little awkward. He had been nagged at and was already feeling irritable. He accidentally told her, but it turned out to be a good thing.
They stopped nagging and started mocking.
"I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute, I noticed the tissue I'm stuffing in my nose has turned red again. Ugh, will it cause any problems if I keep holding it in like this?"
Zhou Congsheng's eyebrows twitched, and he moved closer to Shen Yuzhu, "You're curious."
Shen Yuzhu glanced at him. She was curious, but she was also a little annoyed. However, compared to Zhou Congsheng, he was much better.
Zhou Congsheng stared at her intently, his eyes never leaving her. After a while, his breathing became rapid again.
Shen Yuzhu was really afraid that something might happen to him, so she suddenly raised her hand, grabbed his chin, and kissed him on the lips.
Zhou Congsheng stood there dumbfounded, motionless. When the soft lips touched his face, it felt like fireworks exploded in his head. It wasn't until Shen Yuzhu gently patted his face with her other hand that he came back to his senses.
Just as Shen Yuzhu was about to pull away, he suddenly pressed her head down, drawing them even closer together.
Because of his nervousness, his kiss was a little awkward and clumsy. Shen Yuzhu resisted, and her hands were placed on her chest. She pushed him away a few times and then gripped her clothes tightly.
The coy attitude gave Zhou Congsheng an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
He trembled with excitement and couldn't help but hug his beloved girl even tighter.
