0041 Night Rose, Night.41 Bleeding, scalding, plucking, gutting, taking out the internal organs, washing and chopping into pieces, every time Chen Shanye took a step, Ruan Mei followed behind him and screamed loudly.
"Okay, okay, go sit in the yard and don't hang around here. You'll get your clothes dirty again." Chen Shanye soaked the chicken offal in clean water first, washed his hands, and then grabbed Ruan Mei's neck and threw her out of the kitchen.
"You really don't need my help?"
Ruan Mei stood by the window, watching Chen Shanye squatting on the ground making a fire, his elbows resting on his thighs, his black short-sleeves bulging out with his bulging muscles.
Sparks burst forth in his deep black eyes, and the slowly burning flames cast gentle shadows on his hard face. The dry firewood made a crisp sound, and with a snap, it shook Ruan Mei's heartstrings.
The scorching heat could reach her through the air.
"No need. There's a small vegetable patch next to the chicken coop. Go pick some rapeseed..." Chen Shanye stood up and prepared to chop ginger and other ingredients. He glanced at Ruan Mei outside the window and said, "Why is your face so red? Is it too hot? Then don't go. Go inside and rest."
She touched her cheek with the back of her hand, and was shocked by the burning temperature. How could her heart rate soar just by watching Chen Shanye making a fire?
"It's okay, I'll just go drink some water..."
Watching Ruan Mei running away in a hurry, Chen Shanye curled the corners of his mouth and started to busy himself with the work in his hands.
Heat the wok, pour in the fragrant sesame oil and heat it up, then slide the distinctly granulated ginger into the wok. The hot oil will immediately start to spit out bubbles restlessly.
The black-bone chicken that has been blanched and skimmed of blood is poured into the pot and coated with palm oil and turmeric. The silver iron spoon dances back and forth with the black and white chicken in the pot, allowing the gravy to absorb the double aroma.
Pour a bowl of rich rice wine, sprinkle salt grains like fine snow, cover the iron pot and simmer for a while, then collect the juice, let the black pearls be coated with sweet and thick paste, and serve.
When the chicken came out of the pot, Ruan Mei was returning to the window with a small basket of rapeseed flowers. The aroma mercilessly aroused her appetite. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva and stared at the plate of chicken on the stove.
Chen Shanye took the rapeseed, glanced at her, scooped a piece of chicken with a large iron spoon, and held the spoon close to her mouth: "Blow on it before eating, it's hot."
Crackling, another sound.
Tiny sparks flew from the stove. Ruan Mei tucked the hair on the side of her face behind her ear, and her fingers touched the burning earlobe.
She blew on it a few times with her lips, opened her mouth, took the chicken in, and put it in her mouth when she saw that the temperature was right.
After taking a bite, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Several different rich aromas melt into one in the temperature, sparking sparks on the taste buds on the tip of the tongue.
"Is it delicious?" Chen Shanye asked with a smile as he turned sideways to process the rapeseed.
Ruan Mei suddenly didn't dare to look at Chen Shanye's confident expression. Her cheeks were flushed by the heat from the kitchen. She whispered, "It's delicious."
My heartbeat crackled like sparks on a fire.
She left the kitchen, walked to the yard, took out her cell phone and sent a message.
"Landlady, I'm in trouble."

Stir-fried rapeseed flowers with garlic, scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, black chicken with sesame oil and ginger, stir-fried chicken offal with two peppers, and extremely delicious mushroom soup.
"The peppers may be a little spicy, so be careful not to bite them." Chen Shanye picked out the chicken gizzards from the red and green peppers and put them into Ruan Mei's bowl.
"Hmm...you pick some for grandma..." Ruan Mei lowered her head and ate the white rice. The slightly spicy chicken offal had a crispy texture and went very well with rice.
"Xiaomei, are the dishes cooked by Ye Zi delicious?" Grandma Zhong smiled, with deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
Ruan Mei nodded in response, raised her eyelids and glanced at Chen Shanye, who was sitting in the backlight with his back to the door. The tiny dust particles on his head and shoulders were visible.
She buried her head in her food, with more meat and vegetables constantly added to her bowl, while she listened to Chen Shanye and Grandma Zhong talking about Zhong Mang.
"Does Zhong Mang have a girlfriend?" asked Grandma Zhong.
"Not yet." Chen Shanye picked up some diced red and green peppers and put them into his bowl.
"Hey, I don't know what this brat is thinking. He's surrounded by beautiful women all day long, but he doesn't have a serious girlfriend... Ye Zi, grandma doesn't have to drink a cup of granddaughter-in-law tea before she dies..."
Chen Shanye coughed and said, "What are you talking about? Grandma, may you live a long life."
"Don't try to cheer me up. Grandma is already so old. I just hope that after I'm gone, Zhong Mang won't be alone."
Chen Shanye took a bite of rice and said, "Well, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."
*
It was half past one when the two left the village. Grandma Zhong had the habit of taking a nap.
Ruan Mei had a small bag of plums given by her grandmother on her knees. As the mountain road bumped along, the fruits rolled around in the red plastic bag.
She was booking a train ticket for tomorrow on her phone: "Should I book the 8:30 or the 9:00 train?"
"It's all right. What time will you return to Guangzhou?"
"One is about four o'clock, and the other is half past four."
"Then let's go earlier. We can go directly to see the house when we get home. It won't be too late." Chen Shanye raised his eyes. The sky was covered with heavy clouds again. It seemed that there was no way to avoid the rain.
Chen Shanye posted the information about his house search on his WeChat Moments. One of his regular customers was a real estate agent who had a vacant suite on hand. It was a staircase apartment very close to Ruan Mei's shop. The house was in average condition, but it had all the necessary facilities and people could move in right away.
The price was a few hundred yuan higher than Ruan Mei's budget, so Ruan Mei decided to go back to Guangzhou and look at the houses directly, and asked Chen Shanye to help her make an appointment with the agent.
Ruan Mei wanted to enter the ticket purchase information: "Okay, give me your ID card."
"You can get it yourself. It's in your wallet."
Ruan Mei once again took the black wallet. She flipped through it, but she still hadn't found her ID card. Instead, she found...
"Why did you steal my condoms?" Ruan Mei said with a cunning look on her lips, turning the black plastic bag over and over between her fingers.
Chen Shanye coughed dryly, his nose itching again. He bent his knuckles and scratched it: "...If you want to use it too, it doesn't count as stealing."
Ruan Mei put the condom back into her wallet and pulled out her ID card: "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to use it?"
"I've checked your stuff, and it's not 100% effective." Chen Shanye turned onto another side road at a fork in the road. He needed to find a place to park to avoid the rain. "Your box of condoms is already open anyway, so let's wait until you're done."
Plop, plop.
He was halfway through entering his ID number when his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, interrupting him.
She used jokes to cover up her disordered heartbeat: "Well...but I just miss you, Brother Shanye..."
Chen Shanye gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think about it, Ruan Mei. I'm driving."
The sound of malt sugar being pulled through the iron carriage echoed repeatedly: "Inside - ejaculation -"
"Ruan, Mei." Chen Shanye gritted his teeth.
This little slut always teases him, but he can't resist her teasing. Just one word from her can make him half hard.
Ruan Mei was just talking nonsense, and then "ding dong", Alipay deducted 1,492 yuan. She bought two first-class seats. Since Chen Shanye didn't want to take her money, she would pay for the return ticket.
The rain fell quickly, the gravel road was suddenly covered with mist, and the leaves were flying in the wind and rain.
"What should we do if it rains? The mountain road is difficult to walk on..." Ruan Mei felt a little worried as she looked at the muddy and flooded road ahead when the wipers cleared the water curtain.
"Well, let's not leave. Let's find a place to park first." It is not safe to park on the mountain road. After passing this country road, there will be a small lake. He and Zhong Mang often went there to swim when they were young. There is a small corner of open space next to it where they can park.
The small lake was hidden behind a small patch of bushes. There was no one around. The surface of the lake was rippled by the rain. The mountains in the distance were soaked in the rain and looked smoky blue. The doors and windows of the car were closed, but the smell of soil and grass still seemed to seep into the car from the almost invisible gaps.
Chen Shanye hadn't turned off the car, the air conditioning was still running. The car was too old and didn't have Bluetooth. The only music playing on the CD player was Teresa Teng's song, which Chen Hechuan loved: "If I hadn't met you, where would I be..."
"How long will this rain last?"
Ruan Mei unbuckled her seat belt and took off her canvas shoes and socks. She put her two white and tender feet on the seat. She took a half-green plum from the bag and took a bite. She thought it would be sour because it was not fully ripe, but the juice tasted sweet when she put it in her mouth.
"I don't know. If it's fast, it will take about ten minutes. If it's slow, it will take at least half an hour." Chen Shanye adjusted the seat back to the end and straightened his long legs slightly.
"Oh, do you want some? Plums." After taking a bite, the fruit, still dripping with juice, flew in the air. Ruan Mei handed the plum to Chen Shanye's mouth.
Chen Shanye didn't eat. He put his arm around her wrist and tugged gently: "Come sit here and feed me."
