"Don't laugh."
Meng Yuanzheng was also a little embarrassed. The light was not good and he couldn't see whether his face was blushing or not. He took two steps forward to block the snake's body from Lin Miaoyin. He then reached out and tightened his clothes which were about to fall off to prevent exposure.
Lin Miaoyin said seriously, "Okay, don't laugh, hold it in."
Then he scanned him with his eyes.
There is no way. With such a big luminous object standing in front of me, it is hard not to look at it.
Meng Yuanzheng used to have a good life and had fair skin and tender flesh, but after moving to the countryside, no matter how well he looked, he was still not as good as he was in the countryside, especially in the summer, when his neck and chest were all tanned.
Broad shoulders and thin waist, really, really beautiful.
Meng Yuanzheng was very uncomfortable, his eyes flickered, and he coughed lightly, "You go to the kitchen first, I'll take care of this."
Thinking about the pitch-black kitchen, what if a snake ran out from the firewood pile? She suddenly became alert and said decisively, "I won't go. I'll stay here. It's dead, so I'm not afraid anymore."
Meng Yuanzheng took the kerosene lamp and squatted down to take a look. "This snake is not poisonous. Do you want to eat it?"
"What?"
“This meat is edible.”
"this……"
Seeing that she was a little scared, Meng Yuanzheng added, "It's delicious."
Lin Miaoyin's eyes lit up. Meat is so precious these days. All the game in the mountains has been hunted down. Now that it's delivered to her door, let's eat it! Definitely eat it! Moreover, the snake was quite fat, as thick as a child's arm and nearly one meter long.
"Eat, eat, eat! But I don't know how to do it." She squatted beside Meng Yuanzheng. In her eyes, the snake corpse had become a piece of fat meat and was not scary at all.
Meng Yuanzheng reached out, pinched the snake's tail and lifted it up, "Let me do it, you just prepare some seasoning."
"You can also cook?" Lin Miaoyin was surprised.
"I didn't know how to cook before?" Meng Yuanzheng said.
Lin Miaoyin looked at his profile strangely and said, "It would be strange if you could cook."
"Don't be so stubborn. This snake is not like chicken, duck or fish. It's not that easy to deal with. Let's take it to my dad and brother."
Her original intention was really to ask Lin's father and others for help, but Meng Yuanzheng seemed to think that she was saying that he was incompetent.
He glanced at her, pursed his lips and said nothing, then walked away carrying the snake's corpse.
Lin Miaoyin stood up, looked at Meng Yuanzheng's smooth back, and fell into deep thought. There seemed to be something wrong with this child.
She turned her head and saw the disgusting blood on the ground. She was about to find a shovel to shovel out the dirt, but before she could take any action, Meng Yuanzheng came in with a shovel. He quickly scraped the surrounding area clean with the shovel and shoveled out the mud.
How could this person be so diligent that he started cleaning without even putting on his clothes? Something is wrong.
But it's a good thing that he is diligent, so she can be lazy.
After Lin Miaoyin figured it out, she thought about eating snake meat tomorrow and happily went to cook.
She poured water into the pot, lit the fire, and began to look for any seasonings at home. After rummaging through all the drawers and cabinets, she only found some dried old ginger, and some basic seasonings like salt, soy sauce, and dried chilies.
The snake's body was thrown into a wooden barrel and covered with a dustpan. She boiled some hot water and returned to the house with lingering fear. She carefully picked out some pickles, still recalling the snake she had just seen coiled in the corner. She closed the lid of the jar and left in a hurry.
The sweet potato porridge was bubbling as it cooked. She was cutting pickles when Meng Yuanzheng came in carrying a bucket filled with dirty clothes. He put the bucket away and went to light the fire.
As Lin Miaoyin was cutting, she suddenly remembered something and told him, "Go and apply the medicine Zhu Zhiqing gave you."
After she said that, there was no movement behind her. She turned around and saw Meng Yuanzheng staring quietly at the flames in the stove, holding the fire tongs in his hand without moving.
"Are you crazy?" She put down the knife and patted his shoulder.
Meng Yuanzheng came back to his senses and looked up at her, "What's wrong?"
"I told you to apply the medicine."
"Make a fire."
"Burn your ass off, go and apply some medicine!"
She snatched the fire tongs away. Meng Yuanzheng put his hands on his knees helplessly and didn't move. Lin Miaoyin really wanted to kick him in the butt.
"Look at your face, it's in such a state, why don't you put some medicine on it? And aren't your back and body injured? You are not allowed to eat without applying medicine!"
After scolding Meng Yuanzheng, the other party finally got up and went back to his room to apply medicine.
Lin Miaoyin felt tired. Facing him was like facing her first love. Her first love was a fool and stupid. She and him got along like a mother and son. Now Meng Yuanzheng was acting like a son.
When he came back, the porridge was ready, the pickles were cut and placed on the table, and the two sat opposite each other.
After Lin Miaoyin finished a bowl, she put down her chopsticks with some worry and asked tentatively, "Hey, do you want to eat meat?"
"?" Meng Yuanzheng looked at her, "Didn't you just kill a snake?"
"No." Lin Miaoyin put down her chopsticks, stretched her head, leaned closer to him and whispered, "I'm talking about pork."
She stood up and closed the door, then came back and sat down and continued, "The meat coupons at home have been used up a long time ago, and my parents can't support us forever. We still have more than half a year left, and we can't just eat sweet potatoes and pickles every day.
I know you must have eaten much better food in the city than in the countryside. You have been here for half a year and have only had a few meals of meat. You must be craving for meat. ”
She planned to lure Meng Yuanzheng into her trap. It would be easier to handle it with two people than alone, and she was not afraid of him reporting her.
Meng Yuanzheng held the chopsticks and listened to her carefully. After she finished speaking, he said, "I am quite greedy."
"Then let's go get some meat!"
"You have a meat ticket?"
"No."
"Then do you have a solution?"
"No."
Meng Yuanzheng frowned, "Then what did you say?"
Lin Miaoyin quickly said, "There is a black market."
"black market?"
"Yes, you don't need food coupons, just exchange them for something or spend more money."
She thought she had made it clear, but Meng Yuanzheng frowned even deeper and said sternly, "No matter where you heard it, don't mention it again."
"Why?" Lin Miaoyin was a little bit incredulous.
Who is Meng Yuanzheng? He was a man who cried because he couldn't eat meat when he first came to the countryside, and even compromised and asked to marry the captain's daughter in order to improve his life. Now she took the initiative to team up with him to get meat, and he refused without even thinking about it?
"This is a very dangerous behavior. If it is discovered, both the buyer and the seller will be implicated. If you don't think about yourself, you should also consider your parents. Lin's father will also be implicated by you. At the very least, he will lose his position as team leader, and at worst, he will go to jail." Meng Yuanzheng said in a low voice.
It's not that serious.
She is a book traveler. On the one hand, she grew up in an era of free economy, and on the other hand, she knows that within a year or two, the planned economy will begin to change, so the current black market is just the prototype of future freedom.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you so fierce?" She was a little angry.
Meng Yuanzheng was unmoved. "Anyway, just remember not to go to any black market."
"Is it your business?"
"Your parents have no right to care, right? I'll tell them if you go."
Lin Miaoyin vomited blood. This bitch. I thought he had changed just now, but now I see that he is still so mean.
"I'm full! You wash the dishes!" She stood up angrily, kicked away the stool and went to take a shower.
