Chapter 545 Xiao Jinyan was shocked again: How many more surprises do you have that I don’t know!

Shen Chuwei looked at the clothes that originally fit her well and now seemed a little loose. She felt that Xiao Jinyan seemed to have lost some weight.

During this period of time, I have been rushing around, and the food and drink are not as good as when I was in the palace. It is difficult to gain weight.

Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Chuwei. At this time, she had changed back into women's clothes. She had been wearing men's clothes because it was too troublesome to wear women's clothes in a hurry.

Her face is so delicate and pink, she looks good whether she is wearing men's or women's clothes.

"Let's go out and get some food."

Shen Chuwei was also very hungry at this moment. She nodded happily, "Okay."

When Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei came out, Qin Xiao and Wu Tan had already changed their clothes. The former was setting up a rack in front of the fire to dry his clothes, while the latter was sitting in front of the Buddha statue, running errands, with his hands clasped together and reciting scriptures.

Qin Xiao saw his master coming out and stood up to get the wet clothes out, then hung them on the rack to dry.

Shen Chuwei glanced at Wu Tan for a few times but did not disturb him. She sat in front of the fire with Xiao Jinyan to keep warm.

Xiao Jinyan opened the oil paper bag inside the package and handed it to Shen Chuwei. Inside was the pastries he bought on the way to the town, and they tasted pretty good.

"Eat some cakes to fill your stomach."

Shen Chuwei looked at the pastries in front of her. At the moment, she really wanted to eat. Pastries could only be eaten as snacks. They would not taste so good if eaten as a staple food.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Let's cook."

"Cooking?" Xiao Jinyan seemed to have thought of something, "You brought a pot? And rice?"

Qin Xiao was in charge of things like daily necessities, and Xiao Jinyan didn't pay any attention to them. In his eyes, it was enough to just take some money and clothes with him on the road.

Shen Chu smiled and nodded, "I not only brought the pot, but also the yam flour."

Xiao Jinyan asked in confusion: "What is taro flour?"

Shen Chuwei explained: "It's the powder from washing taro. It's delicious when fried with meat."

Even though Shen Chuwei explained it, Xiao Jinyan didn't understand. He didn't even know what taro was.

As soon as Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan's expression, she knew that he didn't understand. The prince, who had never done any sexual activity, knew about it before because he asked her out of curiosity when they were eating fried meat with mountain starch balls.

"Your Highness, please take a rest first. I will go to cook." Shen Chuwei stood up and walked to the package, taking out the cooking pot and frying pan.

Qin Xiao came over when he saw this and said, "I'll go wash the rice."

Shen Chuwei didn't refuse, "Okay."

Qin Xiao took out an appropriate amount of rice from the bag, then stood up and walked out. There was a lake not far from the temple. He held an umbrella, so washing the rice was not a problem.

Xiao Jinyan came over with nothing to do, and saw her busying around. He looked towards the fire and thought that a stove would definitely be needed to cook. Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out again.

Shen Chu raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Jinyan, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. When he saw Xiao Jinyan walking in with several stones of different sizes in his hands, he suddenly understood.

Her voice was cheerful, "Your Highness."

"I'll build two stoves." Xiao Jinyan walked over with a faint smile and put the stone on the ground.

Shen Chuwei thought to herself that smart people can really draw inferences from one instance. When she mentioned cooking, Xiao Jinyan knew that he needed two stoves, one for cooking and one for dishes.

Xiao Jinyan went back and forth several times, moved in a lot of stones, and then built two stoves next to the fire.

When Qin Xiao came back from washing the rice, he was able to put the pot on the stove to cook.

Shen Chuwei looked at the taro flour. She couldn't just eat taro flour for dinner. She looked outside, wondering if she could catch rabbits or pheasants on a rainy day.

"I'll go outside and take a look."

Shen Chuwei said this and ran out with her skirt lifted up.

Xiao Jinyan was building the second stove. When he saw Shen Chuwei running out, he was worried, so he threw the job of building the stove to Qin Xiao and followed after her.

Shen Chuwei walked out of the temple. The rain outside was lighter than before. She looked around. When she came in just now, the rain was so heavy that she couldn't see the surroundings clearly. Now she found that there were small woods all around. There were no other houses at a glance. It should be the suburbs.

As usual, she made a trap with a rope, then hid aside and waited for the prey to come. This method always worked.

When Xiao Jinyan walked out, he saw Shen Chuwei's petite figure hiding behind the tree. He stared at her curiously for a long time, then walked over with confusion.

As soon as I took a step forward, I saw a rabbit running over. The next second, Shen Chuwei jumped out from behind the tree happily. I found that she had a rope in her hand. She had just hidden behind the tree to wait for the rabbit~

Shen Chuwei ran over happily, bent down and grabbed the rabbit's ears. Sure enough, this trick of catching rabbits worked every time and never let her down.

When she turned around, she saw Xiao Jinyan walking towards her. She happily raised the rabbit in her hand and said, "Your Highness, there is roasted rabbit for us to eat."

Xiao Jinyan stared at the fat and strong rabbit in her hand, which was kicking its hind legs. He was a little bit unbelievable, "In just such a short time, you caught a rabbit?"

Shen Chuwei lowered her head and glanced at the rabbit in her hand. "This is how I catch rabbits every time. Is there any problem?"

Xiao Jinyan was originally surprised, thinking that she was lucky to catch the rabbit, but...

“Is it always caught like this?”

"Well, I use this method every time and I have never failed." Shen Chuwei's voice was quite proud.

Xiao Jinyan was extremely surprised. What kind of luck does it take for her to be able to trap a rabbit with an empty rope and succeed every time?

Shen Chuwei took Xiao Jinyan's arm and said with a smile: "Your Highness, let's go back. We can have roasted rabbit meat tonight."

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Yeah."

The two walked into the temple.

Qin Xiao had just set up the stove when he saw his two masters coming back. When he saw the rabbit in Shen Chuwei's hand, he was stunned. He caught a rabbit in such a short time?

Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Qin Xiao, take care of the rabbit."

"I obey your command." Qin Xiao strode over, took the rabbit from Shen Chuwei's hand, and then strode out again.

Shen Chuwei took Xiao Jinyan's arm and walked to the fire before letting go of his hand. After squatting down, she glanced at Wu Tan, who had been chanting there since he changed his clothes. Although she was curious, she did not ask.

While Shen Chuwei was frying mountain tapioca balls, Qin Xiao came in with a cooked rabbit and took out salt to rub it on the rabbit.

Shen Chuwei reminded: "Qin Xiao, marinate the rabbit for a while before grilling it, so it will be more flavorful."

Qin Xiao stopped what he was doing and asked, "How do you pickle it?"

Shen Chuwei picked up the ingredients she had just prepared and handed them to Qin Xiao, "Use this and apply it evenly."

"Okay." Qin Xiao knew Shen Chuwei's cooking skills, so he did as she said without asking any questions.

Shen Chuwei continued to work on her task.

Xiao Jinyan couldn't cook, so he just watched Shen Chuwei from the side. When she fried the mountain starch dumplings, the aroma immediately wafted out. He sniffed it and said, "It smells so good."

Shen Chuwei loves to eat wild starch dumplings. When she was with Xiao Jinyan, wild starch dumplings were a frequent dish, and she would grow some every year.

After the first pot came out of the pot, Shen Chuwei took the broken moon and cut the mountain starch balls into pieces, put them into a clean bowl, and then handed it to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, please taste it first."

Xiao Jinyan was a little hungry at the moment, and the food smelled delicious, so he nodded, "Okay."

He took the bowl, picked up the chopsticks on the rim of the bowl, picked up a piece of mountain tapioca balls and brought it to his lips to cool it down, then put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The mountain tapioca balls were fried until both sides were golden brown, and they were very crispy when eaten. The inside was soft and glutinous, different from glutinous rice, and tasted very good.

Although Xiao Jinyan also liked to eat mountain starch balls, he didn't remember it now. Shen Chuwei was a little curious whether he still liked it?

“Is it delicious?”

Xiao Jinyan praised it generously: "It's delicious."

Shen Chuwei smiled when she heard this. Even after losing her memory, she still liked to eat the things she liked.

Xiao Jinyan picked up a mountain flour dumpling, cooled it, and passed it to her mouth, "You must be hungry too."

Shen Chuwei had been hungry for a long time, so when Xiao Jinyan fed her, she happily opened her mouth and ate it. The temperature was just right, and the mountain starch balls were very delicious. They would taste even better if they were fried together with pork belly or pork ribs.

Xiao Jinyan ate while feeding Shen Chuwei, and Shen Chuwei was busy all the time.

Qin Xiao started roasting the rabbit under Shen Chuwei's instructions. He had no choice but to eat the dog food that his masters force-fed him.

A bowl of mountain starch dumplings was quickly cleared out by the two of them.

Shen Chuwei made a lot of mountain starch dumplings. For four people, if she didn't make more, how could they be enough to eat?

The aroma of roasted rabbit wafted into Shen Chuwei's nose, and she was so greedy that her mouth was almost watering, because she hadn't eaten roasted rabbit for a long time.

She thought of Wu Tan who was still chanting, "Master Wu Tan, it's time for dinner."

Wu Tan said without even turning his head: "You guys eat first, and leave some rice for the poor monk."

Shen Chuwei thought that Wu Tan was a monk, would he be unable to resist the smell of roasted rabbit meat?

"Is it because I roasted the rabbit?"

Wu Tan shook his head, "No."

"Oh." Shen Chuwei looked down at the food he had cooked, then raised his head to look at Wu Tan, "Besides the roasted rabbit which is a delicacy, the mountain starch dumplings I made are vegetarian. They are delicious when they are hot, but not when they are cold. It will be the same if you recite the sutra after eating."

Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, then looked at Wu Tan, who was sitting there like a clock. He retracted his gaze to look at Shen Chuwei, "He is not a child, he will eat when he is hungry."

Shen Chuwei said: "But, mountain starch dumplings are not delicious when they are cold."

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "He likes to eat cold food, is it your business?"

Shen Chu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the steaming mountain starch dumplings. As a food lover, the taste of the cooled mountain starch dumplings and the ones just out of the pot are completely different.

Seeing that the roasted rabbit had cooled down a bit, Xiao Jinyan reached out and pulled off a rabbit leg and handed it to Shen Chuwei, "Roasted rabbit meat is best eaten while it's hot."

Shen Chuwei had been craving for it for a long time. She nodded in agreement with Xiao Jinyan's opinion, took the roasted rabbit leg to her mouth and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and very delicious.

Xiao Jinyan used Po Yue to cut a piece of rabbit meat, and unexpectedly found that Po Yue was very sharp. He cut it lightly and easily cut a piece of meat...

At this time, Wu Tan, who was originally chanting scriptures, suddenly came over and sat down in front of Shen Chuwei. He saw the mountain flour dumplings in front of him, which were still steaming.

Shen Chuwei saw Wu Tan sitting down. She looked at the greasy mountain starch dumplings and explained, "Wutan, don't be fooled by the fact that they are fried in oil. This is vegetable oil, not animal oil. You will know after you taste it."

“Okay.” Wu Tan picked up the bowl and filled himself with a bowl of rice. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up the mountain tapioca balls and put them in the bowl. Then he took a bite. Although it was a little oily, it tasted delicious. Having eaten vegetarian food for so many years, he could tell by smelling whether it was animal oil or not without eating it.

Wu Tan raised his head and looked at Shen Chuwei, praising her in a gentle voice, "It's delicious."

Shen Chu smiled and said, "It tastes best when it's hot. If it gets too cold, it will become hard and taste terrible."

Wu Tan smiled and said, "So, the poor monk wants to eat it while it's hot."

Xiao Jinyan: “…”

Qin Xiao has eaten a lot of mountain starch dumplings in the past few years. Chunxi sometimes makes them for him. Thinking of this, he missed Chunxi a little. He wondered how she was doing in the palace?

This time when I go back, I must marry her.

After dinner, Qin Xiao washed the pots and bowls.

The temple is not big, with only two small rooms for resting, two people in each room for four people, very simple.

It was pitch black outside. After the heavy rain, there was a light rain, which kept falling.

Xiao Jinyan took Shen Chuwei into the small room and looked at the cold bed. They didn't need to take off their clothes to sleep.

Shen Chuwei also looked at the cold bed. She liked to sleep on a slightly harder bed, not a bed that was not this hard.

There is a quilt in the space. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if I took it out so blatantly?

Xiao Jinyan sat down on the bed, took Shen Chuwei, who was thinking, into his arms, and called softly, "Xiaojiu."

Shen Chuwei tilted her head to look at Xiao Jinyan. She felt that something was wrong with him. She asked worriedly, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Xiao Jinyan frowned and said in a low voice, "My headache is terrible."

In fact, my head has been hurting today, but it was bearable at first. Now it will be unbearable pain.

"Headache? Could you have caught a cold?" Shen Chuwei quickly pushed him away, raised her hand to touch his forehead, then touched her own forehead and found that her forehead was hotter than his.

She picked up Xiao Jinyan's wrist and checked his pulse. His pulse was normal, so why did he have a headache?

Shen Chuwei saw that he had a severe headache and thought it would be more comfortable if he lay down, but the bed was not suitable for lying down.

After thinking about it, she took out the quilt from the space.

The quilt suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which made Xiao Jinyan, who was originally having a headache, stunned for a moment. He remembered that there was no quilt in the room~

Shen Chuwei didn't bother to explain, she just spread the quilt on the bed.

Xiao Jinyan watched her making the bed and finally couldn't help asking, "Where did you get the quilt?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Your Highness, didn't I tell you before? When you remember the past, I will tell you my secret."

Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei suspiciously for a long time, "Could it be that you know the legendary magic?"

Shen Chuwei couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I am still a fox spirit."

Xiao Jinyan looked Shen Chuwei up and down. She didn't have the slightest bit of vixen-like charm. He nodded in agreement, "It's very likely."

After Shen Chu finished smiling, he said seriously: "Send two beds to Qin Xiao and Wu Tan as well. It will be a bit cold to sleep tonight."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the brand new quilt on the bed and said, "It's hard to explain how the quilt came about."

"Then I won't explain it and keep it mysterious." Shen Chuwei said, picked up two quilts and walked out.

When the quilt was delivered to the small room opposite, Qin Xiao was stunned, "Crown Princess, where did this quilt come from?"

"Why do you care where it came from? Just use it." Shen Chu glanced around the small room, and when he didn't see Wu Tan, he walked out curiously.

When she passed the central hall, she saw Wu Tan sitting there meditating and chanting sutras. She still admired him for insisting on meditating and chanting sutras even in such cold weather.

Shen Chuwei did not go up to disturb them and returned to the small room.

When she came in, she saw Xiao Jinyan had already gone to bed. There was only an oil lamp in the room, and she couldn't see his facial expression, but she could tell from his intermittent moans that he was in pain.

What made Shen Chuwei anxious was that there was nothing wrong with the pulse, so he didn't know what caused the headache.
