Chapter 106: Guaguaguaguaguagua She is a bit lecherous and also a bit...
After arriving at the Nie family, Xiang Yao saw the full jar of lard and did not hesitate at all.
As a modern person who grew up in a province where people prefer strong flavors, she has long been tired of dishes made with bland broths and no oil at all.
A scrape of the spatula produced a spoonful of white oil. The oil was thrown into the pot and immediately melted silently into a clear pool that sank to the bottom of the pot. The spatula then scraped it back and forth a few times to moisten the surrounding fruit walls.
Unlike Zhang Juhua, who dipped a rag in some oil and rubbed it in the pot, and once a wet mark was left, she immediately didn't want to use up the remaining oil on the rag.
After the oil melted, Xiang Yao slid the fish down the wall of the pot. As soon as the remaining water on the fish touched the hot oil, it immediately started to crackle and fry.
She is a very patient person when it comes to cooking. She frowned slightly, stood a little further away, afraid that some oil would splash onto her skin, and pulled down her sleeves. She skillfully pushed the fish slowly to ensure that it was heated more evenly.
When the fish was fried until both sides were slightly browned, she used a kitchen knife to scoop up shredded ginger and chopped chili peppers and threw them into the pot. After a while, she threw in the perilla, added water, covered the pot and simmered it over high heat.
At this time, the aroma of fish had already spread in the kitchen, and through the smoke from the cooking, it came out of the roof and filled the air above the entire Nie family.
Old Nie sniffed, feeling greedy at the smell. He paced around the kitchen, staring at the pot, unwilling to take his eyes away.
He sighed, "Oh, I really haven't smelled such a delicious fish aroma in years. This aroma makes my mouth water. Xiaoyao's cooking skills are really amazing!"
Xiang Yao smiled and said, "If you catch a few more, I can cook them for you in many different ways!"
She has also watched many videos of food bloggers and knows many ways of cooking.
For people who know how to cook, once they have seen the recipe, it will leave an impression in their mind, and when they try to cook it themselves, they can often do it with ease.
Frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, braising, stewing, she knows how to cook everything! It's all a piece of cake for her!
Old Nie also smiled: "Okay, it seems I have to make good use of my strength."
He secretly thought that for the sake of this bite of food, even if he couldn't catch it himself, it would be a good idea to spend a little money to buy the one caught by others.
Once he figured out the plan, Old Nie smiled even more happily.
He glanced at his son and daughter-in-law who were cooperating well with each other, and felt very relieved. He went outside with his head shaking.
Haha, don’t think that he didn’t see the look in Nie Baichuan’s eyes. He just thinks he’s a nuisance.
It was dinner time. A neighbor not far away was beating a child, the cries deafening. In the Nie family's courtyard, Xiang Yao put the last shovel of vegetables into the bowl and shouted, "It's time to eat!"
The sun has already set. In the dim main room, a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair on his temples and two young people of the same age are laughing and talking happily, full of warmth.
Although there were only three of them, they created a lively atmosphere of drinking and chatting.
…
"Aunt Xiaohong is so thoughtful! This way, we don't have to sew the cloth again when we change clothes. We can just tie the strips of cloth in knots!"
Under the oil lamp, Xiang Yao spread out the dried quilt cover and smelled it. It had a faint scent of sunshine, which was very pleasant.
Nie Baichuan glanced at the narrow strips of cloth arranged in pairs on the other side of the quilt cover, said "hmm", and nodded in agreement.
"Nie Baichuan, hold that corner over there!" Xiang Yao commanded.
Nie Baichuan took a corner of the quilt cover as he was told and watched her bend over and hurriedly stuff the quilt core into the quilt cover. Her movements were not unfamiliar, but a little clumsy, and it was obvious that she did not do this often.
His gaze fell on the undulating waistline, and his eyes darkened and became deep.
Xiang Yao, who was struggling with the quilt seriously, did not notice this. Her hair was all messed up, and she tried to tuck the corner of the quilt into the right place but failed. She was getting a little impatient.
She was indeed not very good at this job, mainly because the quilt was too big and the light was dim. When she was in school, she always slept with a very narrow quilt, so she fell into it in one go!
Thinking that there was someone watching her, her face became even hotter.
Just as she was getting impatient, Nie Baichuan let go of the corner and walked over. He stood behind her and put his hand into the quilt: "I'll stuff it in, you hold the corner."
Xiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to agree when their hands unexpectedly bumped into each other under the quilt.
There was a soft quilt cover on top and even softer cotton wool underneath. In the enclosed space, two hands of different sizes suddenly touched each other, and almost instantly, the temperature inside became high.
Xiang Yao felt the slightly rough, calloused hand covering the back of her hand, and also felt the other person's hot body slightly pressed against her. Her neck to her ears turned red, and her face was also flushed, emitting a burning sensation.
She realized belatedly that their posture was very ambiguous, so she took a deep breath and pretended nothing had happened as she prepared to pull her hand out.
But Nie Baichuan had obviously predicted her movements. As soon as she moved slightly, the big hand thrust down with five fingers, exerting some force and grasping her entire hand...
No one spoke and the air became thick.
The warm fingertips gently roamed across the back of her tender hand, then lingered on her fingertips, caressing her nails.
In a short period of time, Xiang Yao's flushed face turned a deeper red. If there was sufficient light, it would be clear that she was so red that blood was almost dripping out.
"Nie, Nie Baichuan..." Xiang Yao struggled slightly, turned her head and looked up at the man behind her. When he wrapped her hand again, she pointed out embarrassedly, "You, your little brother seems to have hit me..."
Nie Baichuan stroked her hand again, lowered his gaze, and said "hmm" slowly and calmly. His voice was hoarse and full of magnetism, mixed with an unclear meaning.
Desire, but restraint.
The voice was just behind her neck. Xiang Yao even felt the strands of hair on her neck fluttering gently. She couldn't help but feel that this was really too ambiguous.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be moving away, her heart was beating like a drum. She was afraid that he would hear her, so she said awkwardly, "Didn't you ask me to get the horn?"
Nie Baichuan chuckled softly. Amidst the faint fragrance of the little girl's hair, he slowly stood up straight and said in a nasal voice, "Go ahead."
Xiang Yao quickly pulled out her hand, escaped from under his arm, and quickly walked to the other side to grab the corner of the quilt. Her eyes drifted left and right, but she didn't look Nie Baichuan in the eye.
When she was in college, she also exchanged some resources with her good sisters, so naturally she was not unfamiliar with the things between men and women.
But, but when it happens to me, I can’t help but feel a little embarrassed and shocked.
Especially when Nie Baichuan's little brother was standing behind her in a dignified manner, the touch was too obvious for her to ignore.
Um, in short, it was too intimate. Her brain was in a knot and she couldn't process this kind of information! She should continue to put on the quilt!
Xiang Yao's eyes fell vaguely on the muscular young man under the oil lamp, and then he thought that after the quilt was put on, it would be time to go to bed. Although they had slept in the same bed last night, they were so happy counting money last night that their other emotions faded a little. But tonight, after what happened just now, the atmosphere seemed to become particularly different.
Xiang Yao was the only one who tied and sealed the quilt.
Nie Baichuan hurriedly shook the quilt and walked out of the room. Xiang Yao heard the sound of water coming from the well in confusion.
After a while, the tall young man came back in with his body covered in water. Even from a distance, Xiang Yao could smell the cold breath.
She couldn't help but smack her lips. Taking a cold shower in this weather, Nie Baichuan's physique was really good...
However, she lowered her gaze and felt relieved when she saw that the other person had returned to normal.
It’s good to take a cold shower. It’s very good.
She admitted that she was a bit lustful and timid. On the one hand, she coveted the other person's good figure and pretty face, but on the other hand, she was too timid to do anything real.
Tsk, she has the desire but not the courage to do it, that’s exactly what Xiang Yao is like.
Nie Baichuan dried his hair and when he looked up, he saw the girl on the bed staring at him in a daze with a sly smile on her face. He had no idea what was going on in her little head.
He raised an eyebrow, walked to the bed, and asked softly, "Are you not sleeping yet?"
The voice seemed to have returned to normal, without the previous suppressed and restrained tone.
Xiang Yao came to his senses, tilted his head back, and blinked: "Go to sleep."
Nie Baichuan had his back to the light, his deep facial features flickering in the flickering candlelight, bringing with them an inexplicable sense of oppression. Xiang Yao couldn't help but recall the scene when he had just put on the quilt, and his heart began to pound against his chest uncontrollably.
She subconsciously wanted to cover her heart, but as soon as she raised her hand, she put it down again.
This action was too obvious, she didn't want Nie Baichuan to see her nervousness.
"Turn off the lights, I'm sleepy!" Xiang Yao yawned loudly, slid under the quilt, stared at Nie Baichuan with big eyes and said.
"Okay." Nie Baichuan obediently went to turn off the lights, but he did not miss the other party's small action of taking a long breath.
He blew out the lamp, a smile appeared in his eyes, and the moment darkness fell, the smile suddenly widened.
The lights went out and Nie Baichuan went to bed. He looked at Xiang Yao with twinkling eyes and no longer mentioned being "sleepy".
She asked, "Nie Baichuan, shall we stay home and clean up tomorrow?"
The wedding banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. Although the Nie family has no relatives here, Old Nie still has good relationships with several families, and the Xiang family naturally has even more.
Although she has separated from the Xiang family, it does not mean that she will no longer seek favors from the family. There will definitely be many people coming to the banquet.
Including the people from my grandmother's family, there are at least fifty or sixty people. This is because many people know that supplies are limited these days and do not bring their entire family to the banquet.
Well, this small yard is not big, I don’t know if it can accommodate so many tables.
You also need to build an earthen stove to put that big iron pot, which requires an additional stove.
We also need to hire people, a person in charge, a chef, and guests...
And...
As she was counting with her mind wandering, she heard Nie Baichuan say, "Don't worry about these things. Dad will take care of it. He's happy to do these things, so let him take care of them."
He leaned sideways and faced Yao: "Let's go to the county town tomorrow and buy some things."
