The next day, Jiang Cheng was awakened by the sound of birds chirping. Jiang Cheng got up quietly and looked at Song Tingzhi curled up on the ground, feeling both happy and sad.
Jiang Cheng was happy because after a short time together, he felt that Song Tingzhi was not as bad-tempered as the villagers said. Instead, he was handsome and had a good temper. He was worried that he would have to find a way to make a living and leave this place. Song Tingzhi was tall, and sleeping on the ground was a bit cramped. After all, he was still taking up his space.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.
Jiang Cheng quietly walked out of the cabin and went to the small kitchen next door to see if there was anything he could make something to eat. Jiang Cheng rummaged around and only found half a bag of ground corn.
It seems that Song Tingzhi really doesn't live here very often! There's even so little food available!
Jiang Cheng sighed. These whole grains can be made into steamed buns. Let's make steamed buns! Simple and filling!
After Jiang Cheng kneaded the dough into a dough with water, he walked out of the yard while waiting for it to ferment to see if there were any wild vegetables nearby so that he could pick some and mix them with his food.
Inside the house, Song Tingzhi also woke up. He glanced around the room and found that Jiang Cheng was not there. He easily got up and went out.
"Awake?" Jiang Cheng washed the wild vegetables and looked up to find Song Tingzhi staring at him. Jiang Cheng was a little shy and said, "Breakfast is almost ready. We can eat it soon."
"Okay..." Song Tingzhi looked at Jiang Cheng in the sunlight and was stunned for a moment, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng saw Song Tingzhi standing there motionless, walked up to him and waved his hand.
"No...it's okay." Song Tingzhi suddenly came to his senses and saw Jiang Cheng in front of him. He was so scared that he stepped back.
"Let's eat." Jiang Cheng saw that Song Tingzhi was looking at him as if he were a tiger, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
After saying that, Jiang Cheng went in without giving Song Tingzhi time to react.
Song Tingzhi looked at Jiang Cheng's somewhat lost back, raised his hand in annoyance, patted his head, and then followed him.
Jiang Cheng was about to take the steamed corn buns out of the pot, but he was too impatient and burned his hand.
"Hiss—" Jiang Cheng quickly retracted his hand and pinched his earlobe with his fingers in an attempt to cool down.
"Are you okay?" Seeing that Jiang Cheng was burned, Song Tingzhi strode over, took his hand in his own and looked at it again and again. Seeing that he was okay, he felt relieved. "Let me do it. I have thick skin and am not afraid of burns."
Song Tingzhi didn't give Jiang Cheng time to react before he took the corn buns to the next room. He then came back to get the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing Jiang Cheng still standing there, he asked doubtfully, "Let's go?"
"Hmm? Okay." Jiang Cheng pulled himself out of his thoughts and followed, but his ears were much redder.
Song Tingzhi was too anxious at first, but now that he realized what was happening, his ears were even redder than Jiang Cheng's.
Jiang Cheng’s hands are so soft!
"Eat." Song Tingzhi sat down and placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Jiang Cheng.
"Yeah." Jiang Cheng took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating. Although the two of them didn't say much, the atmosphere around them was very warm.
"Your cooking skills are really good! The food in Yulou is not as good as yours!" After eating voraciously, Song Tingzhi praised Jiang Cheng.
"You...don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Cheng's face turned red because of Song Tingzhi's praise. How could it be so exaggerated!
Yulou is the best restaurant in town. Although Jiang Cheng has never been there, he has heard people talk about it. It is said that a plate of vegetarian dishes there costs several hundred coins!
"No nonsense!" Song Tingzhi smiled and continued to praise.
Jiang Cheng looks good when she blushes!
Jiang Cheng had no way of saying anything back, so he had to clean up the dirty dishes, blushed and quickly left the house, leaving Song Tingzhi alone here to flatter him.
"I'm going out hunting, you can stay here." Song Tingzhi sat in the house for a while before he remembered the important matter and walked into the kitchen to say to Jiang Cheng.
"Is it safe?" Jiang Cheng was putting the dishes and chopsticks back in place when he heard Song Tingzhi say he was going hunting. He suddenly stood up and walked up to him.
He had heard that the wild beasts in the mountains were very scary.
"No, I only play from the outside. It doesn't matter if I don't go inside."
"That's good. Be careful on the road."
"Um."
Jiang Cheng walked Song Tingzhi to the gate of the courtyard and watched him walk away until his back disappeared, then he turned back.
He couldn't just sit there doing nothing, so Jiang Cheng decided to carry a bamboo basket and go around to see if there were any plants he could pick.
Jiang Cheng kept walking in the same direction. He peeled away the dense bushes and saw a large area of shepherd's purse and plantain growing on the land in front of him. Jiang Cheng was very happy and hurried over to dig it up.
You should know that wild vegetables grown naturally in the mountains taste much better than those grown in the fields!
Jiang Cheng picked some and put them in a bamboo basket, remembering the place so that he could come back next time.
Afterwards, Jiang Cheng searched the area carefully again. He dug up a piece of grass and carefully observed the differences between the two types of grass. He found that one of them was the creeping pot grass. Jiang Cheng was very surprised and carefully dug it out with his hands.
He remembered his mother saying that creeping vine could heal wounds and stop bleeding. He saw that this wasn't Song Tingzhi's first time hunting, so he thought it was a good idea to have some herbs on hand.
Afterwards, Jiang Cheng wandered around a bit, picked some other wild vegetables, and headed back.
When Jiang Cheng passed by a large patch of grass, he heard a strange sound. Jiang Cheng stopped and looked carefully for the source of the sound.
“Woo——”
Over here! Jiang Cheng took only two steps to the right when he found a gray mass lying on the ground.
"Woo--" The little ball cried again and moved its limbs. It looked very energetic, but for some reason it just kept lying there.
