Chapter 491 Coaxing the Snake
Li Ping walked into the kitchen.
Ye Rou stood with her back to him and exerted force suddenly with her hands.
A large black mass was pushed out of the window.
"Xiaorou?"
Ye Rou wasn't sure if her uncle had seen the snake. She turned around with a stiff back and managed to squeeze out a smile that looked better than crying: "Uncle."
"What fell down?" Li Ping asked in a puzzled tone.
Seeing him push open the window to look out, Ye Rou quickly blocked the window: "It's a crow!"
Li Ping: "Crow?"
Seeing her uncle's suspicion, Ye Rou gritted her teeth and lied, "It was a really big crow. It must have smelled the meat, broke through the window and swooped in. Luckily, I reacted quickly."
Crows eat carrion, so how could they be interested in stew?
Ye Rou kept blinking, not daring to look him in the eye, and kept turning her hands around while pulling at her pigtails.
Typical lying behavior.
Li Ping saw through it but didn't say anything. What child isn't naughty? Seeing the little girl uneasy, he kindly changed the subject: "Why are you stewing so much meat?"
There was a pot of meat stewing on the stove, and another pot of meat stewing on the coal stove next to it.
Seeing that her uncle didn't ask any further questions, Ye Rou thought she had gotten away with it.
She breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "This small pot is the meat I stewed for Jiang Chen. He came back late and couldn't eat with everyone else, so I made it separately."
The transformation card time is twenty hours. From nine o'clock last night to nine o'clock today, Jiang Chen has not been able to show up.
The big snake worked hard hiding outside all day and still had to eat leftovers at night.
Ye Rou couldn't bear it, so she stewed some meat for him in advance.
When the little girl mentioned Jiang Chen, her eyes sparkled and she did not hide her liking for him.
Jiang Chen in his father's words: bad temper, violent personality, sinister mind, only nice to Ye Rou, and only listens to Ye Rou.
A man with this kind of extreme personality will only become more extreme and domineering when he truly falls in love with someone.
Li Ping was worried that Ye Rou would get hurt.
But after a day of wandering around today, he changed his mind about Jiang Chen.
Although this kid has a bad temper, he is kind to the elderly and very capable.
He disappeared inexplicably one day, and the two old men came to look for him for different reasons.
Uncle Liu wanted him to loosen the soil in the garden so that he could plant medicinal herbs.
Uncle Zhou wanted to design the yard next door and discussed with Jiang Chen how to renovate it.
…
Jiang Chen takes care of all matters, big and small.
On the contrary, his niece, whom he thought would have a hard time, was spoiled like a child, cheerful and lively, and did not have to worry about trivial matters.
That's good. Li Ping was finally completely relieved.
"Uncle, the kitchen is choking. Please go out. The meal will be ready soon."
Ye Rou found an excuse and sent her uncle out of the kitchen.
As soon as Li Ping left, Ye Rou immediately opened the window.
It was empty outside and no one knew where Jiang Dashe had gone.
Ye Rou called the mute woman and asked her to watch the stew in the pot while she ran out to look for the big snake.
As soon as she left, Zhou Yuqing came in.
Seeing that only the mute woman was in the kitchen, he looked around: "Where's Xiaorou?"
The mute woman made a gesture to leave.
Seeing that Xiaorou was really not there, Zhou Yuqing hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot on the stove and wanted to steal a piece of stewed meat.
The mute woman stopped him.
Zhou Yuqing was dissatisfied: "I'll just eat one piece."
The mute woman shook her head firmly.
Zhou Yuqing was unwilling to leave with an empty mouth, so he looked around and stared at the meat on the stove.
"Why is there another pot?"
The mute woman gestured: Miss Ye Rou stewed this for Young Master Jiang.
Zhou Yuqing walked over, lifted the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma of meat filled his nose.
His nostrils twitched, his mouth watering with greed. With the mute woman here, he couldn't move. With his eyes rolling, the old man supported his waist and said repeatedly: "There is something missing, there is something missing in this pot."
Seeing the dumb woman looking over, Zhou Yuqing immediately said, "It will be more fragrant if we stew it with wine. Mute woman, go get some wine."
The mute woman gestured: All the wine in the house has been hidden by Miss Ye Rou.
Zhou Yuqing suddenly had an idea and remembered the small bucket of medicinal wine that Lao Liu had taken out. He immediately said, "It's in the dining room. Go get it."
The mute woman seemed to be afraid that he would steal some food so she didn't move immediately.
Zhou Yuqing assured him, "I won't eat it secretly. Go quickly. Meat stewed with wine is the most delicious."
After hesitating for a moment, the mute woman decided to believe Zhou Yuqing and went to the dining room to get some wine.
As soon as she left, Zhou Yuqing's expression changed immediately. He hurriedly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
It was so hot that I cried out, but I couldn't bear to spit it out.
The pork belly is stewed to perfection, melts in your mouth but is not greasy. The meat is fried in sugar, and the sauce is rich and fragrant.
Ye Yatou’s cooking skills are amazing!
Zhou Yuqing praised himself in his heart, chewed with his mouth, and ate five pieces of meat in a row with his chopsticks.
When Zhou Yuqing heard that the mute woman had returned, he panicked and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, fearing that the mute woman would find out that he was cheating.
The mute woman held the barrel of medicinal wine and looked at Zhou Yuqing carefully, trying to make sure whether he had eaten it secretly.
Zhou Yuqing quickly pulled out some medicinal wine, unscrewed the lid, and chewed and swallowed the meat in his mouth without telling the mute woman. Then he said, "Meat stewed with wine is the most delicious."
He moved in a hurry, his hands trembled, and half a barrel of wine poured into the pot.
The amber wine immediately covered the meat and the rich aroma of alcohol spread.
“!”
Damn it, too much!
The mute woman was staring at him from the side, but Zhou Yuqing didn't dare to show it and tried his best to act natural.
He covered the pot and said calmly, "That's all. You stay here and I'll take the medicinal wine back."
Zhou Yuqing ran away after saying this.
The mute woman didn't notice anything wrong and continued to guard the pot obediently.
Ye Rou, who was looking for snakes outside, had no idea that someone had added special seasonings to the meat she stewed.
She didn't dare to look for the snake in a big way. She sneaked around avoiding people and called Jiang Chen in a low voice.
There is a small path between the kitchen and the courtyard wall. Walking along the path, you can go around the outer courtyard, pass through the corridor, and reach the small garden.
Usually, few people walk this road. Ye Rou followed the smell and searched for the big snake all the way.
Finally it stopped at the wall where the garden connected to the next courtyard.
The smell disappeared here, but Ye Rou could not see the big snake.
"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen!"
She walked along the wall, circling around in search of the snake, but she didn't see any big snake after going back and forth for several times.
Ye Rou's voice changed tone and trembled in her anxiety.
"Jiang Chen, where are you? Come out quickly."
The big snake lazily crawling on the wall finally hissed twice when it heard his wife getting anxious.
Ye Rou looked up suddenly.
A two-meter-long black snake lay on the gray wall, its triangular head resting on the wall tiles, the tip of its slender tail swaying, and it leisurely spitting out its tongue.
"Jiang Chen!"
Seeing that he was lying in such a conspicuous position, Ye Rou quickly called him, "Get down quickly."
Jiang Dashe didn't move, as if he still remembered her dissatisfaction with throwing him out of the window. He turned his head towards the next yard and refused to look at her.
"Jiang Chen."
Ye Rou wanted to pick up the snake, but the wall was nearly two meters high, and even if she jumped, she couldn't reach the tip of the snake's tail.
She could only coax the snake down.
"Jiang Chen, don't be angry. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have thrown you out of the window."
The big snake remained unmoved, but the frequency of shaking its tail tip increased a lot.
Seeing that there was something going on, Ye Rou said, "Jiang Chen, I even specially stewed some meat for you. Are you hungry? Come down and I'll take you to dinner."
The big snake turned its head back, and its amber eyes stared down at her condescendingly.
Victory was just ahead. Ye Rou stretched out her snow-white arms and said softly, "I'll take you home and bring you food later. You'll be able to change back to normal around nine o'clock."
The woman standing at the foot of the wall was snow-white all over, like a little figure made of snow mixed with flour. She was fragrant and soft, and looked easy to care for.
Jiang Chen, who has become a cold-blooded animal, is particularly greedy for Ye Rou's warmth.
Jiang Chen's attitude softened slightly.
The snake's eyes swept across the pink beads on Ye Rou's wrist, and it hissed in dissatisfaction. The slender snake tail stretched down and tried to roll up the bracelet and throw it away.
Ye Rou didn't dare to move.
As soon as the black snake's tail touched the bracelet, she immediately closed her arms, hugged it, and pulled the snake down.
The big snake did not resist and climbed down the wall under Ye Rou's force.
"Xiaorou, why are you here?"
When Wang Guoping's voice rang out, Ye Rou panicked and raised her hand to throw the big snake in her arms out.
A huge black snake flew over the wall and landed in the next yard with a bang.
The big snake that had just been coaxed flew away.
It’s over, there’s no way to coax her now.
Ye Rou looked up at the empty wall, listening to the big snake's dissatisfied "hissing" through the wall, and felt like crying but had no tears.
