Xiao Er had just met Lin Changan and liked him.
Seeing that Xiao Er was also here, Lin Yunchu didn't say much. He curled his lips and put out the dinner he brought for Lu Yanzhou and Xiao Er today.
Looking at the food that Lin Yunchu brought, Xiao Er raised the corner of his mouth and felt suddenly happy.
He knew the taste would be good even before he tasted it. There were meat, vegetables, and chicken soup. However, he had never seen this dish before, so he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Miss Lin, I've been to many places and eaten a lot of food from different places. What is this made of? How come I've never seen it before?"
Xiao Er pointed at a dish of fried potatoes and shredded pork in front of him and asked Lin Yunchu curiously.
Lin Yunchu put the dishes and chopsticks in place, handed another bowl of rice to Lu Yanzhou, then turned around and explained:
"This is called stir-fried potatoes with shredded pork. We don't have much vegetable at home, so I just cooked something. When my eldest brother goes to town to buy some meat tomorrow, I'll make you some delicious food to supplement your diet."
Seeing that Xiao Er seemed a little curious about tonight's meal, Lin Yunchu continued, "This is stir-fried mushrooms, scrambled eggs with purslane, and cold potato noodles. This is the chicken soup made from the leftover half chicken from this morning."
Xiao Er is currently recuperating, so he deliberately makes the food a little lighter.
Potato?
Miscellaneous bacteria?
purslane?
Potato flour?
Xiao Er still thought that he was knowledgeable and talented. How come he didn't recognize any of these words? But they smelled so good, so they couldn't be bad.
It is delicious food, but why have I never eaten it before?
Seeing Xiao Er pursing his lips and not saying anything, Lin Yunchu couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Brother Xiao, please try it. The food my sister cooks is so delicious. I can always eat an extra bowl of rice."
Lin Changan, who was standing by, didn't understand what was going on. Seeing that Xiao Er hadn't moved his chopsticks, he quickly urged him to eat.
"Yeah, eat quickly, the food will get cold soon. Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
Lu Yanzhou picked up his chopsticks and urged Xiao Er.
Hearing Lu Yanzhou's words, Lin Yunchu looked sideways slightly.
Why does this sound so intimate? She hasn't been here for a long time. Are Lu Yanzhou and Xiao Er so familiar with each other?
Lu Yanzhou felt Lin Yunchu's puzzled gaze and his face turned slightly red. In order to hide his embarrassment, he coughed lightly and quickly scooped a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Xiao Er.
He was embarrassed to say that after Lin Yunchu went back at noon, he had been discussing academic matters with Xiao Er in this woodshed. He had stayed there for so long without realizing it. It was not until Lin Changan came to him that he realized that he had been chatting with Xiao Er for so long.
Only then did he realize that Xiao Er was so knowledgeable that he knew everything about astronomy and geography. He could answer any question he asked, and many of them he didn't even know the answer to.
It was precisely because of this that when Lin Yunchu asked him why Lin Changan appeared here, he didn't dare to look up.
"Brother Xiao, these mushrooms were picked by my father and eldest brother in the mountains. They are so fresh."
"This purslane must have been picked by my mother in the fields today. It's a pity you came at the wrong time. If you had come earlier, you could have eaten the scrambled eggs with prickly ash that my sister made."
"And this potato flour is smooth and chewy. You can't get it anywhere else."
"And this chicken soup, all the chicken dishes at home are mine..."
Lin Yunchu frowned slightly. How could she not know when her younger brother became so talkative and was so fond of this stranger whom he had just met for a short while?
"Okay, just let Brother Xiao have a good meal."
Lin Yunchu's words immediately silenced Lin Changan, who had no choice but to shut up in grievance. But when he turned around and saw Xiao Er and Lu Yanzhou eating happily, he immediately grinned again.
Xiao Er, who was standing aside, was eating his meal with his lips curled up, his face full of an uncontrollable smile, after finishing the bowl of chicken soup in his hand.
Following his words, she asked, "Really? Then I have to try it to see if it's as delicious as Chang'an said."
As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. Unexpectedly, he was shocked and his eyes widened. He knew that Lin Yunchu's cooking skills were good, but he didn't expect it to be so delicious.
Moreover, he had never tasted this flavor before; it felt fresh and delicious.
Hearing that Xiao Er also responded to his words, Lin Changan, who had been pouting, suddenly became energetic and came forward with a smile.
"How is it? How is it? It tastes good, right?"
Seeing Xiao Er's expression just now, Lin Changan knew that he must have been surprised by the food cooked by his elder sister. The food cooked by his elder sister was the most delicious.
Lin Chang'an curled his eyes, raised his chin, and looked very proud.
Lin Yunchu found it funny and didn't want to expose his intention of showing off his own food to others.
"Hmm... delicious. What is this thorny bud you're talking about? Why can't I eat it now? Can't I pay for it?"
Xiao Er has never been a person who cares about food, but this food really suits his appetite. He couldn't stop eating after taking one bite.
The spiny radish that Lin Changan mentioned just now seems to be even more delicious than the food here. These foods are already so delicious, so the spiny radish he mentioned must be a delicacy on earth, right?
After hearing what Lin Changan said, Xiao Er couldn't help but be curious and wanted to try what it tasted like.
Didn’t Lu Yanzhou and Lin Yunchu refuse to accept the one hundred taels of silver he had on him? It should be enough for him to buy some and bring it back for him to try.
Originally he thought it was nothing strange, but now after hearing what Lin Changan said, he became a little curious.
"Of course not. You can't buy that with money."
Lin Chang'an raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "They picked it up from the mountains. No one knew it was edible before. It was only because of my sister that they knew it, and now they can eat such delicious food."
And now it is no longer available in the mountains, so if you want to eat it you have to wait until next year.
"Don't mind me, Brother Xiao. Chang'an just said it casually. The spiny shrub is a wild vegetable grown in the mountains. It's just fresh, but it's out of season now. We have to wait until next year to eat it."
Lin Yunchu hurriedly explained.
Xiao Er listened to Lin Yunchu's tone and didn't ask any more questions. He knew that Lin Yunchu didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he tactfully lowered his head and ate.
Lin Yunchu doesn't look like an ordinary country girl at all. Not only is she brave and knowledgeable, but her cooking skills are also excellent. Her meals may not be comparable even in restaurants in Kyoto.
And she seemed to go into the mountains often... But it was not surprising. If she had not gone into the mountains with Lu Yanzhou, she would not have rescued him in such a remote place in the back mountains.
Anyway, he has now confirmed that Lu Yanzhou and the Lin siblings in front of him are not bad people and pose no threat to him.
