Chapter 547 Xiao Jinyan was shocked again: How many surprises do you have that I don’t know!



I have been traveling for a long time, and the food and drink are not as good as when I was in the palace, so 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 troublesome to wear women's clothes when traveling.

Her face is so delicate and pink, she would look good in either men's or women's clothes.

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

Shen Chuwei was also so hungry that 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 wet clothes, while the latter was sitting in front of the Buddha statue, running errands, with his hands clasped together and reciting scriptures.

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

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

Xiao Jinyan opened the oil paper bag in the package and handed it to Shen Chuwei. Inside was the pastries he bought when passing through the town, and they tasted pretty good.

"Eat some cakes to fill your stomach."

Shen Chuwei looked at the pastries in front of her. She really wanted to eat at the moment. 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 the pot with you? And the rice?"

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

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

Xiao Jinyan asked doubtfully: "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 housework, 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, "Let me wash the rice."

Shen Chuwei did not refuse, "Okay."

Qin Xiao took out an appropriate amount of rice from the bag, then got 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 cooking would definitely require a stove. Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out again.

Shen Chuwei raised his head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. When he saw Xiao Jinyan walk 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 that smart people can really draw inferences from one example. When she said 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.

Qin Xiao came back from washing the rice and just 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 and wondered if she could catch a rabbit or a pheasant on a rainy day.

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

Shen Chuwei said this and then she lifted her skirt and ran out.

Xiao Jinyan was building a 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. It was raining so hard when she came in just now 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 she did in the past, she made a trap with a rope, then hid aside and waited for the prey to come. This method has always worked.

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

As soon as I took a step, I saw a rabbit running towards me. The next second, Shen Chuwei jumped out from behind the tree happily. I realized that she had a rope in her hand. She had been hiding behind the tree just now to wait for the rabbit.

Shen Chuwei ran over happily, bent down and picked up 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 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, "You caught a rabbit in just such a short time?"

Shen Chuwei lowered her head and glanced at the rabbit in her hand. "This is how I always catch rabbits. 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 it never fails." Shen Chuwei's voice was quite proud.

Xiao Jinyan was extremely surprised. What kind of luck did she need 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 finished setting up the stove when he saw his two masters coming back. When he saw the rabbit in Shen Chuwei's hand, he was stunned. In just such a short time, he caught a rabbit? 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 scriptures there since he changed his clothes. Although she was curious, she did not ask.

While Shen Chuwei was frying mountain starch dumplings, Qin Xiao came in with a processed rabbit. He took out salt and was about 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 spread 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 the task at hand.

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

Shen Chuwei loves to eat mountain tapioca balls. When she was with Xiao Jinyan, mountain tapioca balls were a frequent dish, and she would grow some every year.

After the first pot came out of the pot, Shen Chuwei took Po Yue and cut the mountain starch balls into pieces, put them into a clean bowl, and then handed it to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, try 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 starch ball and brought it to his lips to cool it down, then put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The mountain starch ball was fried until both sides were golden brown. It was very crispy when eaten, and soft and sticky inside. Unlike glutinous rice, it 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?

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

Shen Chuwei smiled when she heard that. She still liked the things she loved to eat even after losing her memory.

Xiao Jinyan picked up a piece of mountain starch ball, blew it to cool, and passed it to her mouth, "You should be hungry too."

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

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

Qin Xiao started to roast 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?

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

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

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Wu Tan said without even turning his head: "You guys eat first, just leave some food for me."

Shen Chuwei thought that Wu Tan was a monk, and would he be unable to bear 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 looked up at Wu Tan, "Except for the roasted rabbit which is a meat dish, the mountain starch balls I made are vegetarian. They are delicious when hot, but not when 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 and looked at Shen Chuwei, "He is not a child, he will eat when he is hungry."

Shen Chuwei said: "But, mountain flour 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 and looked at the steaming mountain starch dumplings. As a food lover, the taste of the cold mountain starch dumplings was completely different from that of the ones fresh from the pot.

Seeing that the roasted rabbit had cooled down a bit, Xiao Jinyan reached out and tore 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 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 the Po Yue to cut a piece of rabbit meat, and unexpectedly found that the Po Yue was very sharp. He cut it gently and easily cut off 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 starch balls in front of him, which were still steaming.

Shen Chuwei saw Wu Tan sitting down. She looked at the greasy mountain flour dumplings and explained, "Wutan, even though they are fried in oil, this is vegetable oil, not animal oil. You will know after you try it."

“Okay.” Wu Tan picked up the bowl and served himself 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. After eating vegetarian food for so many years, he could tell whether it was animal oil without even 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's better to eat it while it's hot. If it gets too cold, it will become hard and taste bad."

Wu Tan smiled and said, "So, I want to eat it while it's hot."

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

Qin Xiao had eaten a lot of mountain flour dumplings in the past few years, and Chunxi would sometimes make them for him. Thinking of this, he missed Chunxi a little. He didn't know how she was doing in the palace. This time when he went back, he must marry her.

After dinner, Qin Xiao washed the pots and bowls.

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

It was pitch black outside. After the heavy rain, there was a light rain that 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, but not one that was 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, and took Shen Chuwei, who was thinking, into his arms, and called softly, "Xiao Jiu."

Shen Chuwei tilted her head and tried 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 softly, "I have a severe headache."

In fact, my head has been hurting today, but it was bearable at first, but now it has become an unbearable pain.

"Headache? Could it be that you have caught a cold?" Shen Chuwei hurriedly pushed him away, raised her hand to touch his forehead, then touched her own forehead and found that her forehead was even 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 that lying down should be more comfortable, but this bed was not suitable for lying down.

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

The quilt 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 make the bed and finally couldn't help asking, "Where did you get the quilt?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Your Highness, didn't I tell you? 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 a vixen."

Xiao Jinyan looked Shen Chuwei up and down. There was no trace of the charm of a vixen. 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 just hard to explain where the quilt came from."

"Then don't explain. Let's keep it mysterious." After saying that, Shen Chuwei 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 comes from? Just use it." Shen Chuwei glanced at the small room and didn't see Wu Tan, so he walked out curiously.

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

Shen Chuwei didn't 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 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.

Has anyone ever eaten mountain starch dumplings?

I haven’t eaten it for a long time. When I was writing tonight, I was craving it all night.
