While chatting, the feathers of several pigeons had been cleaned.
Mu Yunxi also took advantage of this break to prepare lunch for the two of them.
I steamed some white rice, made some garlic shrimp, fried some eggs with shredded wood ear mushrooms, and stir-fried some Chinese cabbage.
The aroma of the food wafted everywhere, making several people who had just finished their meals nearby salivate with greed.
Jiang Bei looked at Sheng Zhiyi with envy.
"Sheng Zhiqing, I really envy you for being able to eat Mu Zhiqing's cooking so often."
If only I had such skills!
Sometimes, he and Mu Zhiqing were clearly making the same dish, but the dish made by Mu Zhiqing was so delicious~
And what I made myself...
But it’s hard to put it into words!
For this reason, whenever he had the chance, he would stand next to Mu Yunxi when she was cooking and learn from her.
He didn't ask to learn 100% of her skills, as long as he could learn 20% to 30% of her skills, he would be satisfied.
It’s a pity that God didn’t seem to give him the talent for cooking.
So no matter how he learned, even if he followed Mu Zhiqing's steps step by step, the dishes he made were still unsatisfactory.
Sheng Zhiyi glanced at the envious look Jiang Bei gave him, feeling secretly happy and a little proud.
He suppressed the smile on his lips, and said in a slightly arrogant tone,
: "I can't help it. Who made me have such a good partner? You can't envy me!"
Jiang Bei looked at Sheng Zhiyi's secretly smug face and was speechless for a while, with a little sour feeling in his heart...
Immediately, he made a secret decision in his heart.
When he looks for a partner in the future, he must find a girl who can cook delicious food.
Let Sheng Zhiyi never have the chance to show off in front of him again.
: "It's time to eat."
Mu Yunxi set the table and called out to Sheng Zhiyi who was stewing soup at the door.
: "Coming."
Sheng Zhiyi put the processed pigeon into a clay pot, added some ginger slices, red dates and dried mushrooms, and simmered it over low heat.
Back in the room, he smiled gently at his partner.
"Xixi, the pigeon soup will be ready after simmering for another two hours."
: "Well, let's eat first!"
Mu Yunxi said as she picked up two pieces of food into his bowl with her chopsticks.
Sheng Zhiyi's eyes curved with a smile. His girlfriend really loves him too much. Whenever there is something delicious, she always puts it into his bowl first.
: "Xixi, eat more yourself, don't worry about me, I can do it myself."
As Sheng Zhiyi spoke, he put her favorite dishes into her bowl.
Seeing this, Mu Yunxi quickly reached out to stop him.
"I've had enough. You can eat it yourself. I ate a lot of wild fruits in the mountains this morning, so I'm not very hungry now."
Hearing her say this, Sheng Zhiyi raised his eyes to look at her, and seeing that she looked serious, he gave up.
After lunch, they both went back to their rooms to rest.
Since there was still soup simmering in the clay pot, Sheng Zhiyi did not take a nap. He would check on the fire in the stove every once in a while.
After the pigeon soup had been simmering for two hours, Sheng Zhiyi turned off the fire in the stove.
At this time, the pigeon soup has a very strong aroma. Even with the lid on, you can still smell the meaty aroma.
Sheng Zhiyi took a deep breath and closed his eyes somewhat intoxicatedly.
He was sure that Xixi would like this pigeon soup!
Because she loves soup, and she especially loves this kind of slow-cooked clay pot soup.
I remember she said before that the key to the deliciousness of this clay pot soup lies in its slow cooking process.
Slow cooking over low heat allows the various ingredients in the water to go from being unrelated to each other to blending together, locking in the essence of the ingredients and releasing the fresh aroma of the food.
Every bite is an ultimate enjoyment!
"Crack..."
The sound of a door opening broke Sheng Zhiyi's thoughts.
He came to his senses and turned to look for the source of the sound.
He saw Jiang Bei slowly walking towards him at the gate of the courtyard.
"Sheng Zhiqing, is your soup ready?"
Jiang Bei glanced at the extinguished fire and asked with a smile.
Sheng Zhiyi nodded slightly and murmured "hmm".
Jiang Bei thought of the news he had just heard from the captain, so he reminded him,
"Oh, right, the team leader just said that tomorrow morning, our team will distribute food and ask everyone to gather at the threshing ground."
When Sheng Zhiyi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Is the captain back?"
: "Well, I'm back, and I brought that unlucky guy who went to see the wedding with me."
When Jiang Bei said this, his desire to share suddenly increased.
"You didn't see it, the brother who went to see me was beaten so badly, tsk tsk...his face was so swollen that he could hardly be recognized as a human being~"
"But fortunately, before the team leader and his men went to Xiangyang Village, they asked the villagers to report to the police at the commune."
"Otherwise, it's probably not just a hundred dollars of compensation that will solve the problem."
Sheng Zhiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Bei.
: "So the final compensation was one hundred dollars?"
Jiang Bei nodded.
"Well, it was thanks to the presence of the public security comrades at the time to help mediate and deter the situation. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to resolve. I heard that family was quite difficult to deal with, and every one of them was a tough nut to crack."
Jiang Bei said this while shaking his head slightly, his tone was quite regretful.
"Oh, I really pity this guy. He went to see a girl, got beaten up, and now he has to pay her a hundred dollars in compensation."
"This hundred yuan is enough for him to marry a wife."
Sheng Zhiyi nodded sympathetically. Indeed, not only did he lose both his money and his life, but he was also beaten up.
