After a period of recuperation, Mu Zhiyue's health has improved considerably.
He looks no different from an ordinary person now, except that he is a bit thinner.
After escaping Ruan Banxia's clutches, Jiang Jiang ran straight for Mu Zhiyue.
"Grandpa Mu, save me! Aunt Ruan is mean! Jiang Jiang's face hurts!"
Mu Zhiyue smiled and picked up Jiang Jiang, coaxing, "Jiang Jiang, be good, your Aunt Ruan is playing with you~ Let's not be angry anymore, okay?"
"Sweetie~ Grandpa Mu will take you to eat the melon juice from Liangzhen that we had before, okay?"
Upon hearing that she could eat melon juice again, Jiang Jiang stopped covering her face and stopped complaining about being full.
She happily followed Mu Zhiyue to eat fermented vegetable soup, showing no sign that she had been angry just moments before.
Jiangshui is a beverage made by fermenting cooked rice and then adding honey and various fruits and flowers to the liquid.
It tastes sweet and sour, and is very delicious.
There are many varieties, mostly made from seasonal fruits in various flavors.
When you buy it, the shopkeeper chills it, so when you eat it right away, it's icy cold and very refreshing.
This drink becomes very popular after the start of summer.
Crispy mountain, which is essentially modern ice cream, is also very popular.
There aren't many varieties of crispy mountain snacks in town, and they don't taste as good as the fermented rice noodles. Plus, they're inconvenient to bring back, so I didn't buy any this time.
In town, Jiang Jiang had already eaten a portion of crispy mountain pastry.
Now that she's eating fermented vegetable soup again, Ye Lingyu is very worried about her stomach.
"I'll go check. Ayan, you, Banxia, and Ziyu, get ready to eat."
This young man is greedy. Mu Zhiyue didn't know that she had already eaten the crispy mountain. He had only taken her to eat the fermented vegetable soup to coax her.
When Ye Lingyu found her, she had only drunk a little.
"Jiangjiang, you can't eat now! You already had a serving of crispy mountain in town, and if you eat fermented vegetable soup now, your stomach won't be able to handle it!"
Ye Lingyu picked up the bowl of fermented vegetable soup that she was eating and placed it at the back of the table, out of her reach.
Jiang Jiang was a little anxious and confused when the food was taken away.
"Mother~"
Mu Zhiyue wanted to plead for Jiang Jiang, but suddenly heard Ye Lingyu say that Jiang Jiang had already eaten the crispy mountain.
Although the weather is getting warmer, Jiangjiang is still a child, and eating too much cold food can easily upset his stomach.
Jiang Jiang turned to look at Mu Zhiyue with a somewhat aggrieved expression. She didn't say anything, but her eyes were filled with grievance.
Mu Zhiyue opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, and pretended to look at the roof.
Ye Lingyu looked down at her, noticing her subtle movements. "Can your stomach still hold more? If it can, let's go try Grandpa Mu's cooking first, and then we can have some fermented vegetable soup, okay?"
Upon hearing that she could still eat it, Jiang Jiang's aggrieved expression instantly turned into a smile, her eyes almost closing into slits with laughter.
"Okay~ Jiangjiang can still try it. After she finishes, she can have the fermented vegetable soup~"
She said she was just trying it, and she really only tried a little; she didn't eat much.
This shows that she really couldn't eat anymore.
Ye Lingyu and Ruan Banxia piled Meng Chuying's rice bowl to the brim, with more food than rice.
Cheng Qingyan peeled shrimp for Ye Lingyu, then recommended the shrimp and crabs she raised to Ruan Banxia and Shen Ziyu: "Doctor Ruan and Brother Shen, try these shrimp. They were just caught from the pond when we were eating them."
"And these steamed crabs were just caught from the pond today."
"When the shrimp and crabs grow a bit bigger in a while, let's have a whole crab feast! Mmm, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"
Shrimp and crab are already incredibly delicious, but the shrimp and crab here are exceptionally fresh.
From the moment the water is taken out of the water to the moment it is placed in the basin, it only takes about half an hour.
There are no complicated steps; the simple cooking method already results in an extremely delicious flavor.
Of course, the steamed sea bass was also delicious.
With shrimp and crab already on the table, fish is naturally a must.
Shen Ziyu also peeled shrimp for Ruan Banxia, but Ruan Banxia did not pick them up and eat them directly.
This did not stop Shen Ziyu from continuing to peel shrimp and putting them into Ruan Banxia's bowl one by one.
Cheng Qingyan was peeling shrimp with her hands, while her eyes were darting around erratically.
She would glance at Shen Ziyu one moment, then at Ruan Banxia the next. Afraid of being discovered, she would pretend she was just looking at the dishes on the table.
Shen Ziyu didn't stop until the small bowl in front of Ruan Banxia was almost full of shrimp meat.
This made Cheng Qingyan, who was watching the drama unfold, glance at Shen Ziyu even more frequently. She wanted to see if Shen Ziyu could fill Ruan Banxia's bowl with shrimp meat.
She had already picked out two crab meats for Ye Lingyu, and peeled half a bowl of shrimp.
The reason there was no stock was because Ye Lingyu ate while she was peeling the shells.
Until Ruan Banxia spoke to Cheng Qingyan in a nonchalant tone: "Brother Cheng, if you have an eye ailment, I will examine it for you after dinner."
"No need to trouble yourself, I'm just checking if we have enough food. My eyesight is perfectly fine."
Meng Chuying ate her meal silently, glancing at this and then at that.
They dared not utter a sound.
Sometimes knowing too much can be a dangerous thing!
Ruan Banxia finished the whole bowl of peeled shrimp.
Cheng Qingyan wasn't that neurotic. Knowing that the two of them were having a fight, she still insisted on asking how the shrimp and crab tasted.
But does the fact that Ruan Banxia ate the shrimp that Shen Ziyu peeled mean that she can start asking gossip soon?
Looking at the two of them, she still hasn't found a suitable time to ask Ruan Banxia what strange thing had happened that made her so cold to Shen Ziyu.
After we finished eating, the sun began to move westward.
Accompanied by Cheng Qingyan, Ruan Banxia and Shen Ziyu went to see the pond in the yard and the section of river that she had fenced off behind the house.
The small ponds are separated, and the fish swim happily inside.
Ruan Banxia looked around the courtyard and then glanced at the old house next door.
Feeling a pang of emotion, Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu had changed so much since they first met.
Who would have thought that when they first met, Cheng Qingyan was penniless?
Shen Ziyu expressed his support for Cheng Qingyan's aquaculture business, saying that now that the country is stable, it is a time for everything to be rebuilt.
It is a very good thing that one person can drive the prosperity of a village and form an industrial chain that benefits the villagers nearby.
Only when the people are prosperous can the country become strong.
Having experienced the ruthless hardships of the front lines, she longed for peace and stability more than anyone else.
Seeing that the people his comrades risked their lives to protect are now living their lives, and that the blood shed by the frontline soldiers was not shed in vain, makes it all worthwhile.
The room reserved for Ruan Banxia and Shen Ziyu was on the side of the main room, and Cheng Qingyan also took them to visit it.
The room is fully equipped and ready for occupancy at any time.
"Would you like to take a rest, Physician Ruan?"
"No, Brother Cheng, it's been a while. How's your skill? Shouldn't your master check it out?"
Is this a way to let Shen Ziyu test her skills?
