Pei Dalang was immediately amazed by the taste: "Yao'er, although this jellyfish looks similar to our family's ice jelly, it tastes completely different!"
Everyone else tried the jellyfish, and it received rave reviews!
Pei Yao laughed and said, "Hehehe, I'm glad you like it. Don't just focus on eating the cold jellyfish salad, try this salt and pepper razor clam too, it's delicious."
After listening to Pei Yao's words, everyone went to try the razor clams.
The fried razor clams are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. One bite and they burst with fresh, juicy flavor.
The Pei family had only taken two bites when an uninvited guest arrived.
Yunniang spotted him immediately, put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said, "Hey, Xiaoyu, when did you get back? Didn't you go to the county to study medicine?"
After hearing Yunniang's words, everyone looked towards the door. Shen Yu was standing silently at the door when Pei Yao looked up and met his gaze.
Shen Yu's black robe made him appear tall and slender. His hair was extremely black, with wispy strands naturally parted to the sides, revealing his fair forehead. His dark hair was tied into a high ponytail, and from Pei Yao's perspective, a red ribbon could be seen at the end, a perfect embellishment.
Sixteen-year-old Shen Yu exudes a youthful energy that shines through, making him truly remarkable.
Pei Yao's eyes were clear and bright. After being noticed by Pei Yao, Shen Yu silently looked away and replied to Yun Niang in a low voice, "Aunt Yun, I just got back today. I was thinking that Uncle Pei's leg was not fully healed yet, so I brought some medicine back for you. I didn't expect you to be eating. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
Pei Yao looked up at Chen Yu after hearing what he said. For some reason, Pei Yao always felt that this guy spoke in a teasing tone.
Upon hearing this, Yunniang quickly walked over to Chen Yu, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "No, no, Xiao Yu, how much are these medicines? Auntie will give them to you."
Shen Yu shook his head and said, "Aunt Yun, there's no need to pay me. I gathered these myself from the mountain."
Upon hearing this, Yunniang exclaimed in delight, "Xiaoyu, you've already learned about medicinal herbs so quickly?"
Shen Yu nodded.
"No wonder Doctor Lin insisted on taking you as his apprentice; you really are talented." Yunniang looked at Shen Yu with admiration in her eyes.
Seeing Yunniang and Shen Yu talking, Chen Fang smiled and said, "Yunniang, Xiao Yu, stop chatting and come eat first. Xiao Yu hasn't eaten yet either, right? Come and eat with us. Yao made something new today, and it tastes delicious."
Upon hearing Chen Fang's words, Yunniang realized what was happening and said, "Yes, yes, Xiaoyu, come in and eat first. Your aunt has been too busy talking to you."
Upon hearing Yunniang's words, Shen Yu's first reaction was to look towards Pei Yao.
Seeing that Pei Yao didn't seem upset, she happily looked at Yunniang and said, "I didn't have time to go home for dinner, so I'm sorry to have bothered you, Auntie."
Chen Fang filled a large bowl for Shen Yu, who sat down next to Pei Yao and accepted the jellyfish from Chen Fang with a smile.
Pei Yao looked up at Shen Yu sitting next to her. This kid was really enjoying his jellyfish.
Pei Yao was looking at him when Shen Yu suddenly turned around. Pei Yao was caught peeking and her hands trembled for no reason.
“Chen, Chen Yu.”
"Hmm? What's wrong... Yao?" Shen Yu asked Pei Yao calmly, but when he called out "Yao," he, like Pei Yao, trembled slightly.
Pei Yao shook her head. She didn't really have anything to say, but she had just gotten nervous and inexplicably called out to him.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Yu glanced at Pei Yao and then turned back to continue eating the cold jellyfish salad.
After finishing the meal, Shen Yu didn't rush to leave. Instead, she stayed at the Pei family home to check on Pei Erlang's leg recovery.
Then I will talk to Pei Erlang about some precautions regarding the use of the medicine.
Although Pei Erlang's leg has almost fully recovered, it has left some aftereffects. Whenever it rains or the weather changes, his leg will ache slightly.
Shen Yu was holding the medicine that could relieve the pain. Pei Yao stood aside watching Shen Yu, not expecting that Shen Yu would learn so quickly.
After Shen Yu finished watching Pei Erlang's legs, it was already completely dark. The moon seemed shy tonight, hiding behind the clouds, so it was pitch black outside.
Pei Yao was worried that Shen Yu wouldn't be able to see the road, so she gave him a lantern: "Take this with you, so you don't accidentally fall into the field later."
Shen Yu took the lantern from Pei Yao, and his face visibly lit up with joy: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Hurry home, it's getting late."
After Shen Yu left, Pei Yao washed up and went to bed to rest.
Pei Yao had heard from the villagers that many of the longans in the mountains were ripe recently, so she carried a basket on her back and went with Aunt Fang and the others to pick longans in the mountains.
The place Aunt Fang found was in the mountains at the edge of the village. A group of people walked around the mountain and soon arrived at the longan trees.
The longans were at their best at this time of year, and Pei Yao picked one, finding it to be very fresh, tender, and juicy.
This year's fruit harvest is excellent; these large longan trees are laden with fruit.
The group worked quickly and soon filled a large basket with longans.
When Pei Yao passed by the river on her way back, she picked some mint to take back with her.
When they got home, none of the other vendors had returned from their stalls yet. Only Pei Yichen was studying in the yard, and Pei Xuan was playing in the yard.
Seeing Pei Yao return home, Pei Yichen looked up and said, "Sister, I just steamed some buns in the kitchen, they're still warm."
Pei Yao put down the longan on her back: "Hey, I'm actually a little hungry."
Pei Xuan came closer, hugged her older sister, showed Pei Yao the small pastries in her hand, and said coquettishly, "Here you go, older sister. These are pastries that Brother Chen Cong just gave me."
Pei Yao looked at the small pastry handed to her, and took a small bite in a very cooperative manner, making an exaggerated expression to tease the little girl: "Mmm, delicious, Xuan'er's is indeed delicious."
Pei Xuan immediately tilted her head up happily.
Pei Yao took a longan from her basket, peeled it, and handed it to her: "Here, open your mouth, it's so sweet."
Pei Xuan looked at the fruit in Pei Yao's hand that looked somewhat like a lychee, and obediently opened her mouth.
"Remember to spit out the pit," Pei Yao instructed.
Pei Xuan'er squinted her eyes from the delicious food, then nodded solemnly: "Okay."
Pei Yao was amused by the little girl's expression and reached out to gently pinch her nose.
Then he grabbed a handful of longans and gave them to her: "Here you go, eat slowly, and be sure to spit out the pits."
After saying that, he looked at Pei Yichen, who was still reading a book, and said, "Cousin, come and eat some fruit. I picked a lot today."
