Chapter 39 038. "Leili, you are drunk"
"Just tell me whether you like your belly soft or hard."
“…”
Zhou Yi was silent for a moment.
Looking at Lei Li, he asked seriously, "Do I have to die today?"
Lei Li held his hand and rubbed it on his stomach. His palm was sometimes soft and sometimes hard, and he could feel Lei Li's well-defined abdominal muscles.
It’s not right to say that you like soft ones.
It seems even more wrong to say that you like hard ones.
Lei Li had no sense of restraint when he grabbed his hand and started touching it randomly. When his fingertips touched upwards, he felt Lei Li's warm and flexible chest muscles, and when his palms touched downwards, he felt Lei Li's hip bones.
Zhou Yi wanted to curl his fingers but couldn't, and he wanted to pull them out but couldn't either. He couldn't pull them out forcefully, or else he would accidentally use too much force and either he or she would get shocked, or both of them would fall off the ox cart.
"What are you talking about?"
Lei Li raised his eyebrows, grabbed Zhou Yi's hand with one hand, and pressed Zhou Yi's neck with the other hand to force him to come closer.
"I just want to know, do you like a delicate, sweet and soft man, or a hard and not considerate and gentle man at all?"
"Tell the truth and I won't scold you."
“…”
Zhou Yi looked at Lei Li, his face full of resignation to his inevitable death, and said, "Although it looks like a multiple-choice question, it's actually a death question, right?"
"I said I like soft and fragrant things, and you said I want to cheat. I said I like hard things, and you said I don't like your hardness. If I say I don't like either..."
"Just say that I am worthy of being a young master. I am picky even though I have no money."
"Um?"
Lei Li looked at him in surprise, then laughed and said, "You've really become smart now. You guessed everything I was going to say."
“…Practice makes perfect.”
I can guess it after being scolded by you so many times.
Zhou Yi sighed inwardly and asked him, "So why are you asking this question all of a sudden? What did I do wrong? Is this related to Mrs. Zhu?"
“Neither.”
Lei Li withdrew his hand, but did not tell Zhou Yi the truth. "I just suddenly wanted to test you."
"Test me on what?"
"To see if you are a fool."
“…”
Lei Li actually just wanted to scold him, right?
—
Returned to Sanlihe Village.
Lei Li returned the ox cart to the village chief's house, and took Zhou Yi to his own fields to have a look. The seedlings were growing green and lush, and the ducks were fat and strong.
In more than half a month, the seedlings will bloom, and when the rice is almost ripe in July, we can drive the ducks out of the fields.
In the vegetable garden.
The sweet potato seedlings are also lush and green.
After the previous crop of vegetables was eaten and the stems had grown old, Willow Leaf was pulled out and new vegetable seeds were sown. A fence was also erected and a few bitter melons were planted.
Smoke rises from the village.
When Lei Li and Zhou Yi arrived home, Lei Dashan was chopping firewood in the yard, and Liu Ye'er was making a fire in the kitchen to prepare cooking.
"Let me do it."
Lei Li took over Lei Dashan's firewood chopping job, and Zhou Yi went into the kitchen to take over Liu Yeer's cooking.
All that was left of the wild boar was a tail and an ear. The tail weighed two kilograms, and the ear was not light either, weighing a little over one kilogram.
Zhou Yi prepared to make braised pig tails and cold-mixed pig ears.
Braised pig tails require frying sugar color. Cane sugar is very expensive here, and rock sugar is even more expensive. It is better to save as much as possible. Zhou Yi plans to skip this step.
I asked Liu Ye'er if anyone had radishes, and exchanged wild vegetables for two of them. I also found the spices I wanted on the shelf where medicinal herbs were dried at home.
Blanch the pig's tail and ears, cut the tail into pieces, and slice the pig's ears for later use.
Peel and cut the white radish into pieces.
Then stir-fry ginger, garlic and spices. If you don’t have chili peppers, use five-color peppers instead. Add the pig tail and stir-fry over high heat for a few times. Then add soy sauce, salt and white radish.
Cover and simmer over low heat.
During this half hour, Zhou Yi went to the yard and picked a handful of tender perilla, chopped it into small pieces, and then made the sauce with pickled five-color peppers, soy sauce, shredded ginger, minced garlic, and an appropriate amount of salt.
The lard is boiling hot.
Pour the sauce over the sliced pig ears. It smells so good that you'll eat a few more mouthfuls of rice just by smelling it.
The braised pig's tail is out of the pot.
As soon as the lid was lifted, the delicious aroma filled the air. Lei Li, who was chopping wood outside, came into the kitchen and secretly ate a piece of food with chopsticks. He laughed when Zhou Yi found out.
Zhou Yi was puzzled by his laughter, "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"
"no."
Lei Li shook his head. "I just think that although you're a spendthrift, your cooking skills are truly amazing."
"...Are you really praising me or are you being sarcastic?"
"That's a compliment."
Lei Li nodded and ate another piece of radish, "You can open a restaurant now."
"real?"
"Fake."
Seeing him eager to try, Lei Li poured a bucket of cold water on him. "How can we afford to open a restaurant? A shop in an average location would cost dozens of taels in rent for half a year. How many wild boars would we have to kill to afford it?"
"but……"
Lei Li smiled and pinched Zhou Yi's chin, "If you can coax me into giving birth to a child, then this restaurant and shop... is not out of the question."
“…Forget it.”
It's like selling yourself.
No, he has already married into Lei Li's family. Except there is no selling money, no selling contract, no ransom... it is no different from selling oneself.
It seems that he is even worse off than selling himself?
Zhou Yi shook his head. "Take the dishes out. I'll just make some soup and then we can eat."
"Cabbage soup again?"
"We only have cauliflower at home. Do you want to eat something else? I can still go out and pick some now."
"Need not."
Lei Li nodded, and before leaving, he said, "Make two more egg drops."
—
Braised pig tail with radish.
Pig ears with perilla.
Although it doesn't sound like a big dish, it is so delicious that you wouldn't even notice someone died next to you. It is even better if used as a side dish for drinking.
When Lei Dashan heard Zhou Yi's words, he also felt like drinking some wine.
Zhou Yi first glanced at Lei Li, and when he saw Lei Li nodded, he took a few coins and a large bowl and quickly bought a large bowl of wine.
This kind of wine is the rough wine that Lei Li mentioned before. Although it is also brewed with grain, it is made from old rice. In order to increase the quantity and save money, it is mixed with more water.
Lei Dashan would not get drunk even if he drank it all. He knew his physical condition and just wanted to try it and satisfy his craving for alcohol.
Lei Li didn't let him drink too much.
The large bowl was divided into several small bowls, one for each of Lei Dashan, Lei Li, and Zhou Yi. Liu Ye'er didn't drink it because she didn't like drinking.
Zhou Yi took a sip and found that the alcohol content was indeed very low. He couldn't tell what it was made of. It tasted a bit sweet, like some kind of fruit aroma.
Zhou Yi suddenly thought of the mountain mulberry, and he wanted to drink the mountain mulberry wine made by his grandfather.
"Zhou Yi."
"Um?"
Zhou Yi looked over and saw Lei Li's face flushed red, even his ears and neck were red. He was startled, "Are you allergic to alcohol?"
Can you get drunk with such a low alcohol level?
"What rice?"
Lei Li touched his face and felt a little hot. He shook his head and said, "I just get hot easily. I'm not drunk. I'm sober enough now to kill another wild boar."
My eyes are almost blurry.
Zhou Yi felt that there was not much credibility in this statement. Seeing that the rice in his bowl was almost empty, he helped him up and said to Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er,
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to take Lei Li back to the room first."
“…I’m really not drunk.”
Lei Li muttered something, but did not struggle, and let Zhou Yi take him up and back to the room.
Fell on the bed.
Zhou Yi looked at Lei Li and hesitated for a moment, but he still helped him take off his coat, then took off his shoes, and put him on the bed.
"You can take a shower tomorrow. Go to bed now."
"……sleep?"
Lei Li squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Yi. He saw him taking off his clothes and shoes and talking about going to sleep. He thought he was going to do something, but saw Zhou Yi taking his coat and going out.
"Husband."
Lei Li grabbed Zhou Yi's hand, pulled it hard, pushed him down on the bed, sat astride Zhou Yi's waist, and looked down at him from top to bottom.
"where did you go?"
"...I'll go put your coat away for you. This is what you wore to the county town today. It's dirty and you can't wear it to bed."
"oh……"
Lei Li nodded, seeming to understand, then got off Zhou Yi, sat on the bed, and looked at him obediently, "Then come back soon."
He patted the quilt beside him and said, "I'll wait for you to come back to sleep, you better hurry up."
"……OK."
Zhou Yi looked at Lei Li hesitantly for three seconds.
To be honest, he couldn't really tell whether Lei Li was pretending to play a trick on him or was really drunk. After all, based on Lei Li's character, the chances of him playing a trick on him were very high.
But Lei Li is rarely so well behaved.
"You go to sleep first. I need to take another shower. I smell like cooking fumes and I'm afraid I'll bother you."
Zhou Yi saw Lei Li nodded again and agreed, and his doubts were dispelled. He took Lei Li's coat and left the room.
After taking a shower.
Zhou Yi changed into clean clothes and walked into the room. With the moonlight coming in through the window, he saw a big bulge on the bed.
Light the oil lamp.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the room.
Zhou Yi saw that Lei Li had fallen asleep, lying on his back, completely occupying the bed, leaving no room for Zhou Yi to sleep.
It’s good to fall asleep.
It's much better than waiting for him with open eyes.
Zhou Yi thought about it, moved Lei Li's hands and feet to make enough space for himself to sleep, and then went to blow out the oil lamp.
The room fell into darkness.
Only when Zhou Yi lay down on the bed did he realize that Lei Li's hands and feet were stretched out again. If Zhou Yi lay down, he would either hang over the edge of the bed or rest his head on Lei Li's hands and feet.
Just as domineering as when he's awake.
Zhou Yi moved Lei Li again, but Lei Li was moved back again. Zhou Yi had no choice but to sleep on the inner part of the bed.
But Lei Li rolled in from outside again.
Her hands and feet were like an octopus, wrapped around Zhou Yi's body, and her head with loose long hair was rubbing against his neck, which made him feel itchy.
He was mumbling something, as if talking in his sleep.
Zhou Yi covered Lei Li's mouth with his hand, worried that he would suddenly open his mouth and bite him.
It happened just like that last time. Zhou Yi was sleeping soundly when Lei Li suddenly stuck to him and bit him without saying a word.
Fortunately, it bit my arm.
Otherwise, with Lei Li's strength and a bite on his neck, could Zhou Yi still survive?
