Chapter 146 What's in Your Hand Is Sweeter
"Them? Maybe they died on the road!"
"Forget it, don't mention those unlucky people!"
As Xu Zhiyi was talking, he saw that Shen Changan had finished eating the sweet potato in his hand, and couldn’t help asking, “Do you want more?”
Hearing this, Shen Changan looked at Xu Zhiyi shaking the half-eaten sweet potato in front of him, nodded, then leaned over and took a bite: “My wife, why is your half sweeter?”
Xu Zhiyi stared blankly at the half-eaten sweet potato in his hand being bitten by Shen Changan, and said with a red face: “This, this is what I ate, I mean if you want more, I’ll go to the kitchen and get it for you”
When Shen Changan heard this, his face turned red, knowing that he had misunderstood: "Madam, I...I thought you asked me to bite what you were holding in your hand"
"No...it's okay, just don't mind me biting you."
"My dear, if I disliked you, I wouldn't have... misunderstood you just now!"
Somehow, their eyes suddenly met each other.
Xu Zhiyi stared at Shen Changan's red face, afraid that he would become lustful later, and couldn't help talking nonsense, so he quickly stood up and changed the subject: "Oh, I haven't applied medicine to the eagle today, I'll go get the medicine."
Shen Changan looked at Xu Zhiyi who seemed to be running away in panic, and the secret expectations in his heart were suddenly dashed.
Xu Zhiyi came over again with the medicine. She saw Shen Changan squatting down and looking at the injured eagle. When she saw her coming with the medicine, she quickly held down the eagle under the window in the house: "Madam, I'll hold down its wings, and you quickly apply the medicine to it."
Xu Zhiyi felt that the ambiguous atmosphere had disappeared, and his nervous heart finally relaxed. He responded and quickly squatted down to apply medicine to the eagle.
After applying the medicine, Xu Zhiyi went to the kitchen to get a broken bowl, put some chopped wild vegetables in it, and put it in front of the eagle. As a result, it just took a look and then lay on the ground, closed its eyes and fell asleep.
"My dear, this eagle eats meat. It won't eat vegetables! It didn't eat anything from yesterday. It was Wuyou who took away the bowl of broken steamed bread this morning."
"Don't want to eat? This is our situation. I don't even have meat every meal, so why should I buy meat for it? Don't even think about it. Just leave it there. It will eat it naturally when it's hungry."
"Let's go to the kitchen and make lunch."
Shen Changan: “Okay”
The two of them came to the kitchen and planned to save the pheasant for killing in the evening. They would fry eggs with purslane, stir-fry some sweet potatoes, and make egg pancakes for lunch.
Blanch the purslane in water first, take it out, squeeze out the water and cut it into sections. Then fry the eggs first, then add the purslane and stir-fry for a few times.
In fact, if you add some chili peppers and garlic, the taste will be better.
Peel two of the remaining sweet potatoes, cut them into slices, and soak them in water in a wooden basin. Heat oil in a pan, scoop them out and put them in the pot to fry until cooked.
The egg pancakes made by Shen Changan next to him were also baked, and some were put on two plates.
Less than a quarter of an hour after finishing, Su Manman's voice rang out in the yard: "Cousin, I'm back. What did you make for lunch today? I smell the fragrance!"
Qin: "You have a very sensitive nose. What did you smell as soon as you entered the door?"
Su Manman: "I just smelled it!"
Xu Zhiyi stood at the kitchen door, looking at Su Manman who was washing her hands and said, "You will definitely like the dishes I made today."
"Really? I was just saying it smelled especially good today."
Shen Wuyou picked up a piece of sweet potato and looked at Xu Zhiyi curiously: “Madam, what kind of dish is this?”
Everyone was very curious when they heard this, as they had never eaten this dish before.
Xu Zhiyi: "I found it in the mountains. It can be eaten raw. It tastes crispy and sweet. I call it yam."
Old Mrs. Su tasted a piece of it carefully, and it tasted slightly sweet: "I have lived for most of my life, and I didn't even realize there is such a wild vegetable."
"Grandma, I discovered this by accident. Its leaves definitely don't look like other wild vegetables, so you probably didn't notice it in the mountains!"
Su Ze: "You know what, this is much more delicious than other wild vegetables!"
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to take a nap, and then started helping build the house in the afternoon.
I thought that the vegetable seeds soaked in the space would sprout, so I had to turn the soil first and then plant them in two days. Alas, the last time I bought vegetable seeds, I didn’t ask specifically what kind of seeds they were. The boss just said that they can all be planted in this season.
Shen Changan watched Xu Zhiyi pick up the hoe and prepare to go out. He was about to go to the room, but suddenly changed direction: “Madam, where are you going?”
"I'm going to clean up a vegetable patch and try it out in a couple of days. I want to plant some vegetables."
Upon hearing this, Shen Changan picked up the rake beside him and said, “My wife, I’ll go too.”
Xu Zhiyi was a little worried when she heard what Shen Changan said: “But you…”
Before she finished speaking, Shen Changan carried the rake and walked past her and walked out the door first.
Xu Zhiyi hurriedly chased after him, stretched out his hand and grabbed the rake that Shen Changan was carrying: “I’ll take it.”
Then he deliberately slowed down his pace and tried to walk shoulder to shoulder with Shen Changan. The two of them came out of the thatched hut and walked to the homestead, meeting several villagers on the way.
When they saw Shen Changan and waited for him to walk away, they couldn't help but murmur that it was a pity that such a handsome man had a lame leg.
"Whose family is that young man from? He is handsome, but he walks like a limp."
"I don't know, maybe it's from the new households, I haven't seen them before."
"What a pity! If he had a good leg, I would definitely marry my daughter to him even if he was poorer, just based on his looks."
"Come on, don't think I'm being rude. With your daughter's looks, if she takes after your husband, who would be willing to marry a handsome and well-built man? But if it's someone like this, maybe you really have a chance."
"This... let's forget it! My little girl has just graduated, she can still choose one for another year. In a year, maybe she can find a better one."
Several other villagers on the side secretly curled their lips when they heard this. How can you still be so picky with a girl like Xiao Ni? If you keep picking for another year or two, she might get uglier and uglier!
Xu Zhiyi walked along the way and came across a small vegetable plot on the side of the road. He was a little curious about what vegetables the villagers were growing now, so he took Shen Changan to the outside of someone's vegetable garden to take a look.
I saw that the garden was planted with white radishes, cabbages, lettuces, onions, and leeks. I didn’t expect there were so many varieties.
"Boy, girl, what are you doing?"
The two were looking at the dishes inside when a voice sounded behind them. They turned around and saw an auntie carrying cow dung looking over curiously.
Xu Zhiyi: "Aunt, we don't have any bad intentions. We were planning to dig the vegetable fields and passed by here. We saw a vegetable garden and wanted to come here to learn what vegetables are grown in this season."
"Oh, that's how it is! This vegetable garden is mine. In this season, the best crops to grow are cabbage, radish, winter onion, and cabbage."
Then he said very proudly: "Girl, in Cuilin Village, my family grows the best vegetables. Many villagers' vegetables don't grow well because of the cold weather and poor care. They have to dig wild vegetables every day."
Xu Zhiyi was confused. She could not understand the other words except the winter onion. She knew almost all the vegetables in the vegetable garden, but when the aunt said the name of the vegetable, she could not remember it.
