Chapter 71 Very annoying
After calling Doctor Chang over, the few of them ate recklessly under the dim candlelight.
No one had time to speak.
The meat filling was Chen Chunxing's secret recipe. Although her dumpling-making skills were not very good, she had eaten a lot of delicious food in her previous life, so she estimated that the seasoning would be similar.
The pork belly mixed with wild vegetables was oily but not greasy, and coupled with the white flour that I only get to eat a few times a year...
The old man tasted only one, then he didn't bother to refuse and sat down, almost pushing Shen Mingqiu away.
Seeing that everyone preferred dumplings and no one touched the glutinous rice balls, Chen Chunxing served a bowl to Xue Yongan first, and then to himself.
The glutinous rice balls she made were filled with sesame.
This is the most common black sesame filling in modern times.
The two may have different tastes, but they only love one kind of glutinous rice balls.
Because of this, Chen Chunxing was often scolded by Diao.
In the past, the Shen family ate dumplings without fillings. Even in the entire village, it was probably only the master's family that could come up with so many new options.
Now there are sesame seeds, peanuts, powdered sugar, lard... all kneaded together to make the filling.
For Yu Diao, it was not like eating dumplings, it was clearly like eating copper coins!
Now, when she saw her granddaughter handing the first bowl to a stranger, her face immediately fell.
"You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household. It's just a meal, why do you have to be so fancy... Hmm..."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Chunxing fed him a glutinous rice ball.
Diao chewed it twice.
I just felt an indescribable sweetness sliding into my throat.
Without saying a word, she picked up the bowl, drank the dumpling soup, and filled herself with more glutinous rice balls.
One at a time!
Everyone stared at Diao, confused by her action.
It was still Shen Mingqiu who reacted quickly. He filled his own bowl first, then took Shen Zhixia's bowl and filled it up. Finally, under Shen Chunxing's sidelong glance, he gave a few more to Shen Yandong.
By the time Doctor Chang picked up the spoon, there were only two or three left in the porcelain basin.
"Is it really that exaggerated..."
The old man seldom eats sweets. The glutinous rice balls he had eaten in Lin'an City before were at most coated with powdered sugar. Now that he didn't see any on the table, he thought they had no taste. But as soon as he put them in his mouth, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
"You're still seriously ill and can't digest too much food. Let me eat for you."
Doctor Chang looked around and then went to snatch food from Shen Mingqiu with a smug look on his face.
In fact, the old man was telling the truth, but he underestimated the progress of the fourth child.
The silly kid not only knows how to curse, but also knows how to protect his food!
Chen Yandong finished the dumplings in his bowl and smacked his lips, looking very satisfied.
Not enough yet!
Just when she heard what Doctor Chang said, she turned around and arched into Shen Mingqiu's arms, opening her little mouth and letting him feed her.
Can an old man compete with a three-year-old child for food?
Doctor Chang wiped his beard regretfully, thinking that it wasn't that delicious yet.
Yang Yi was the only one at the table who never looked up.
He is really not picky about food.
He was so focused on eating dumplings that half of the strange dumplings that Chen Chunxing had packed ended up in his stomach.
After feeding all the remaining glutinous rice balls in the bowl to Shen Yandong, Shen Mingqiu let him go.
Who would have thought that the silly child got so used to the food that he twisted his body and refused to leave, pointing at the big bone next to him.
"Meat, I can't chew it!"
He actually wanted Shen Mingqiu to cut off the meat and feed it to him.
"Is our little fourth child finally coming to his senses?" Shen Mingqiu was so angry that he laughed.
After poking him on the forehead with a finger, he still served him diligently and without complaint.
"It's still early." Ignoring the expectation in Diao's eyes, Chen Chunxing raised the bowl of soup towards Doctor Chang, "Doesn't this depend on your ability, old man? I toast you!"
Doctor Chang: “…”
The glutinous rice balls lost their fragrance the moment they were put into my mouth.
He wiped his forehead awkwardly.
"Okay, okay, let me take care of the third brother's illness first."
As for Little Four...
He was really embarrassed to say that he hadn't figured out the trick - he was afraid of being kicked out of the dinner table!
"That's right, that's right." Chen Chunxing smiled mysteriously.
The problem of the fourth child is actually beyond human control. He will naturally understand when the time comes.
After curing the third child, Zhixia and Yang Yi were waiting for Doctor Chang... It's not so easy to get free meals at the Shen family.
The meal lasted until dark.
Diao picked up the dishes and chopsticks, stretched her head and looked outside, "What do you want to say, Master Xue?"
Chen Chunxing rolled his eyes and looked at Xue Yongan with a smile.
"Don't worry, old lady. I came here on horseback..." Xue Yongan stood up, walked to the door, and pretended to be embarrassed. "The snow hasn't stopped yet. The road is difficult to travel at night. This place is far from the county town. I hope we don't encounter any deep pits, landslides, or pools on the way..."
Chen Chunxing curled his lips at him.
"Well, it's really not a good idea to travel on a snowy day..." Diao was really frightened.
If something unexpected happens on the way back, the Shen family cannot bear the responsibility.
What’s more, the young man is very friendly…he always brings meat when he comes to visit!
Diao was not a hard-hearted person, so she hesitated and said, "How about you, my lord, stay at my house for a night..."
"No, no!" Xue Yongan agreed immediately, "Brother Yang and I can just live in the same room."
He even distributed it on his own.
Diao left with the dishes and chopsticks with a strange look on her face.
I always feel like something is not right...but I can't figure it out...
"Have you asked him before sleeping with him?"
After sending the three children to see Doctor Chang, Chen Chunxing started to dismantle the stage.
"Don't worry, I don't snore." Xue Yongan assured Yang Yi.
"I'll hit him." Yang Yi's honest answer sounded very disrespectful.
Chen Chunxing suddenly laughed strangely.
Xue Yongan opened his mouth and closed it again, and the two looked at each other in silent awkwardness.
A taciturn person meets a silent Zen master.
"Brother, it seems like we have the same personality." Xue Yongan held it in for a long time before finally uttering the words.
Yang Yi didn't understand.
Chen Chunxing was almost laughing to death.
In her short life of just a few decades, she rarely laughed so happily and freely, as if she had really transformed herself into an ignorant girl.
After counting the breaths.
Seeing Xue Yongan put down the tea bowl that he had brought to the level of his nose, Chen Chunxing wiped the corner of his eyes with his index finger and asked without thinking, "Is it still there?"
"Leave."
The two spoke almost in unison.
Yang glanced at Xue Yongan and said in a muffled voice, "It should be the man who escaped earlier."
"I'm squatting on the roof in this weather and I don't feel cold at all." Chen Chunxing muttered with his head raised.
It is very easy to leave traces when doing things in the snow.
This is the best opportunity to track.
I guess the other party didn't expect it to snow suddenly tonight.
But now that they are here, we can't let them leave easily.
Xue Yongan walked into the yard, looked around, and said lightly: "It seems that Brother Yang and I don't need to sleep anymore."
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it will cover up the traces sooner or later.
"I'm waiting for your good news." Chen Chunxing rubbed his hands and moved closer to the brazier.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy. After leaving the village chief’s house, he hangs around his own house every day.
Very annoying.
Yang Yi tried to track him, but the other party was very experienced and could always detect him in advance and escape.
I met Ah Huai today.
It's his bad luck.
