Yun Siying shook off the evil images in her mind and raised the pheasant: "Nangong Ruochen, how about we eat chicken tonight?"
"Okay! Then we'll all have a treat tonight." Nangong Ruochen watched her expression change again and again, with a look of doting flashing across her face that he didn't even notice.
He started by boiling water, and after blanching the pheasant in a wooden basin of boiling water in the yard, he began to pluck the feathers, wash it, cut open its intestines, and clean out the unnecessary internal organs, with very skillful movements.
Yun Siying was in the room, pouring corn flour and wheat flour into a basin and mixing them evenly. Milk, eggs, dry yeast powder and fine white sugar were smuggled out of the space and added to the dough for fermentation.
While it was fermenting, Nangong Ruochen had already chopped the chicken into pieces. He took out a sand pot, put in the chicken, mushrooms, ginger, peppercorns, dried chilies, and water, and began to stew the chicken.
Yun Siying was helping to light the fire. Seeing Nangong Ruochen taking out some fresh mushrooms, she asked, "Where did you get the mushrooms?"
“I picked some in the mountains today and was planning to fry it for you in the evening. Now you got some pheasant and stewed it with mushrooms. It tastes great.” Nangong Ruochen said gently.
"Are there many mushrooms in the mountains?" Yun Siying's mind instantly thought of dishes such as braised pork ribs with potatoes and mushrooms, fried mushrooms, stir-fried mushrooms, stir-fried pork with mushrooms, and stir-fried mushrooms with eggs. She couldn't help swallowing.
“I know a few places where mushrooms grow well. I’ll take you to pick some tomorrow.” Nangong Ruochen saw that she loved mushrooms and Siying was in good shape, so he could take her there.
In the evening, the educated youths returned to the Youth House after work. As soon as they entered the house, they smelled the aroma of chicken. As expected, the aroma came from the room of educated youth Nangong.
"Nangong Zhiqing, you are having chicken again." When Chen Siming passed by Nangong Ruochen's door, he saw the stewed chicken and the steamed buns that had just come out of the steamer. Although they were made of flour, they looked very fluffy. He couldn't help swallowing.
"Well, I was lucky today. I caught a pheasant in the mountains." Nangong Ruochen saw the other party's envious eyes and said calmly with a smile in his eyes.
"Then can I exchange it with you for a bowl of chicken and some steamed buns?" Chen Siming finally stated his intention. He was not short of money, and his parents would lend him money and supplies every month.
But the food in the Youth House these past two days was hard to swallow, and he basically didn't feel full. He wanted to improve his diet today.
"No, this is only enough for the four of us." Nangong Ruochen refused. The four of them were not short of money, and it took a lot of time to cook a meal. They couldn't share it with others, and they couldn't pay for it.
Chen Siming's eyes dimmed instantly. Yun Siying looked at his pitiful eyes and handed him two steamed buns: "There's not much meat. I'll give you two steamed buns. I don't want your money."
Chen Siming took the steamed bun and smelled the sweet bun. He couldn't help but take a bite. It was fluffy and sweet, with a milky aroma. It was so delicious that he didn't even eat any food. He finished the bun in just two or three bites.
“Nangong Zhiqing, the steamed buns you made are soft and sweet, so delicious. Otherwise, please have pity on me and let me eat with you!” Chen Siming looked at Nangong Ruochen with burning eyes, as if he was looking at a savior.
Unfortunately, Nangong Ruochen was a stubborn person, and refused without changing his expression: "No."
Chen Siming ate the remaining bun in just a few bites and left again in a dejected manner. I was wondering why the same food could produce such different tastes.
At this time, Shen Mubai approached him and asked, "Does the steamed bun really taste that good?" He was not far away, but he saw that the steamed bun was very soft, unlike the steamed buns here, which were hard and difficult to swallow.
"Well, it's very delicious. It would be great if I could share it with them." Chen Siming said regretfully.
"It seems you've been rejected. I heard from the old educated youth that Nangong Zhiqing keeps people at a distance. They are sure that he will not agree to your request." Shu Ruxue was missing two front teeth, and her voice had a lisp.
"Then why does he treat Yun Zhiqing so specially?" Lin Zikang asked from the side.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady, but you can't even tell." Xu Ronghua said enviously. Who wouldn't want to have a partner like that, a beautiful, cultured, and wealthy female educated youth? It's a pity that he didn't find a chance to get close to her.
"She is an ungrateful person. Not only did she cut off relations with her adoptive parents who raised her, she also refused to recognize her biological parents. She is such a vixen. She is obviously engaged to the third son of the Xue family in the village, but she is shameless enough to get so close to Nangong Zhiqing and the other two." Wang Haixia could not hide the jealousy in her eyes.
"Siying is only temporarily eating with us for a few days. Wang Zhiqing, please be careful with your words. Don't you know how important reputation is to a female comrade?" Chen Banghua said seriously as soon as he entered the courtyard. He could see that Wang Haixia was thinking.
Although Yun Siying's psychic ability was only level 1, as long as she used her mental power, she could clearly hear and see what was happening in the old house. Unfortunately, she just happened to use her mental power: "Wang Zhiqing, you shouldn't ruin your reputation just because I saw you and other gay men going into the woods."
"You're talking nonsense. When did you go into the woods with a gay man?" Wang Haixia became anxious and a little flustered when she heard it. She didn't expect Yun Siying to lie so much and was worried that everyone would believe her.
"You don't have to react so strongly. You said no, right?" Yun Siying would not prove it to her. Originally, she was just making it up. Ever since she arrived at the Youth League Institute, this woman had always disliked her and would come out to provoke her from time to time.
"You can't tell me the exact time! It's obviously nonsense." Wang Haixia looked at the suspicious eyes around her and tried to prove her innocence.
“Yes, yes, that’s all nonsense.” Yun Siying did not refute. As the saying goes, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. Doesn’t she like spreading rumors? She would, too, but the consequences would no longer be her business.
Seeing everyone's more suspicious looks, Wang Haixia suddenly became furious and ran towards Yun Siying, her two legs forming claws, aiming at her face.
Yun Siying knew that there was a thorn forest behind her. Looking at Wang Haixia's vicious face, she was very excited: "Wang Zhiqing, your secret has been exposed. Do you want to kill me to silence me?"
"Yun Siying, you deserve to die. You have a foxy face. I'm going to ruin your pretty face. Let's see what you can use to seduce others." Wang Haixia felt a little excited as she watched herself rushing to Yun Siying.
