When the captain heard Wen Xia Nuan's request, he was stunned.
Wen Xia Nuan also looked at him hesitantly for a few times: "Captain, is this not possible?"
The captain shook his head and looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, are you sure you want to go?"
Wen Xia Nuan nodded: "I need to buy chicken."
The captain agreed and looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "Then wait for me under the old locust tree in front of Gu Yiyi's house. I'll come out after I finish shopping."
Wen Xia Nuan nodded and had no objection.
The captain walked down the road, and Wen Xia Nuan followed him obediently the entire time.
Gu Yiyi has had a hard time recently. After being severely beaten by the Wang family, she racked her brains to sell everything she could at home in order to pay back the debt.
"Gu Yiyi, is Gu Yiyi at home?"
When the sound came from the door, Gu Yiyi trembled like a frightened rabbit, but soon she opened the door and looked towards the door: "Captain, why are you here?"
"I heard you were selling chickens. If you're willing, sell me two."
Gu Yiyi's tense mood was slightly relieved at this moment. She forced a smile and said, "Captain, come in and see what you want."
She introduced: "I provide these chickens with good food and drink. If you need them, I'll charge you three cents each."
His eyes fell on Gu Yiyi. Three cents a chicken wasn't expensive. "Okay, I want two hens. The meat should be tender."
"The captain is not very old, right?"
Gu Yiyi nodded in understanding, looked at the captain and said, "I remember everything you said. I'll look for it for you."
She quickly caught two chickens. He watched Gu Yiyi pack them up neatly, paid the money and walked out.
When Wen Xia Nuan saw the captain finally come out, she quickly went to greet him: "Captain, is everything settled?"
The man nodded and looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, take it. We'll split the two chickens into six."
Wen Xia Nuan could tell that these two chickens were indeed good, so she paid for them readily: "Thank you for your help, Captain."
The captain waved his hand and turned to walk home.
Wen Xia Nuan couldn't wait to eat the meat, so she carried the chicken and walked towards the Huo family.
"Huo Jue, Huo Jue!"
Wen Xia Nuan's voice came from outside the door, and Huo Jue also hurried out of the kitchen.
The two of them bumped into each other at the door, and Huo Jue held her wrist: "Are you okay?"
Wen Xia Nuan was knocked dizzy. She rested her forehead on his chest. When she heard Huo Jue's voice, she looked up and met his chin.
Wen Xia Nuan subconsciously took a few steps back, glanced at Huo Jue, and handed him a cleaned chicken: "Is it cooked?"
Huo Jue's eyes fell on the chicken in her hand: "Where did you buy this?"
He frowned, and Wen Xia Nuan pouted, "Don't look at me like that. I got this from a legitimate source! I asked the head officer to buy it from Gu Yiyi!"
She looked at Huo Jue seriously, and a hint of surprise flashed across Huo Jue's eyes.
"Oh, there's a live chicken. I keep it in the yard. I can stew it whenever I want to eat it."
Huo Jue responded indifferently, and then he quickly cleaned up the chicken in front of him.
Wen Xia Nuan was so greedy that she couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw the greasy chicken.
"Can braised food be used?"
Huo Jue remembered that there were some dried mushrooms at home. He looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "It would taste much better if we stewed some mushrooms in it."
When his voice came, Wen Xia Nuan seemed to have thought of something and slurped it, "Okay, then put some in!"
She was really hungry today! And whenever she thought of those delicious foods, Wen Xia Nuan felt extremely greedy.
Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan and couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll stew it now."
The chicken was put into the hot pot with a sizzling sound. Wen Xia Nuan's eyes were wide open. She stared at the chicken in the pot. Although there were not many seasonings, the smell of the stir-fried chicken alone was enough to make her extremely greedy.
Later, Huo Jue added chili peppers and mushrooms, and garnished them with braised soy sauce, which made the meat look better all of a sudden.
Wen Xia Nuan couldn't wait to watch. Huo Jue's eyes fell on her. Seeing her greedy look, Huo Jue couldn't help but laugh: "Wen Xia Nuan, if you reach in any further, you'll fall into the pot."
There was a hint of teasing in Huo Jue's voice. Wen Xia Nuan came back to her senses and blushed. Thinking of her own situation, she hesitated and didn't speak for a while.
"Do you want to go out for a while?"
Huo Jue's eyes fell on her, but Wen Xia Nuan shook her head: "No."
She had nothing to do, and as she smelled the fragrant aroma of chicken, her thoughts gradually drifted away.
"Huo Jue, yours tastes like the one my mother makes."
Wen Xia Nuan sniffed and her eyes fell on Huo Jue: "I miss my mother."
The corners of her eyes were red. When Huo Jue heard this, he suddenly lost his composure: "You, don't cry."
"Wen Xia Nuan, you, you're like this and I don't know what to do!"
Huo Jue stared at her blankly. Wen Xia Nuan lowered her head but remained silent.
"Or, why don't you bite me to vent your anger?"
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on him, with a puzzled expression: "Huo Jue, what are you doing?"
There was a tear in her voice. Huo Jue stretched out his hand towards her. Wen Xia Nuan's blank eyes fell on his hand: "Huo Jue, what are you doing?"
Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan for a few seconds and said seriously, "Bite it."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue. She opened her mouth and wanted to bite him, but when she met Huo Jue's eyes, she managed to hold back.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Jue's eyes fell on her, his eyes sincere: "You can bite it, it doesn't hurt!"
Wen Xia Nuan sniffed and pursed her lips: "I don't want it!"
She curled her lips in disgust, and Huo Jue also looked at her: "Forget it if you don't want it."
Wen Xia Nuan hummed and smacked her lips as she smelled the aroma of the chicken. She urged, "Don't just stand there like an idiot! Go check on the chicken in the pot!"
Wen Xia Nuan's voice came, and Huo Jue came back to his senses and hurried towards the pot. He used the spatula to stir a few times, and seeing Wen Xia Nuan still waiting eagerly, he comforted her, "Don't worry, it will be ready soon."
After hearing what Huo Jue said, Wen Xia Nuan nodded patiently. She was so hungry that she could eat a cow, but looking at Huo Jue, she was too embarrassed to express it.
Huo Jue also noticed Wen Xia Nuan's concern. He coughed, looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "Come over and eat first?"
