Chapter 46045. The Hungry Pervert
It seemed like someone was kissing his forehead and hugging him, but then left and didn't come back for a long, long time, until a night with a crescent moon and deep blue.
Only tall people could enter through the dew.
I can’t remember what happened afterwards. It had no beginning or end. It was a really strange dream.
Lei Li shook his head, threw away the unnecessary things, got out of bed and put on his shoes. His stomach was growling with hunger, but he didn't know where Zhou Yi had gone.
Late at night.
Is he going up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots again?
Lei Li thought about it and walked out of the room. The main room was quiet and his parents should have fallen asleep. When he entered the yard, he found that the oil lamp was on in the kitchen.
Zhou Yi is cooking.
"Are you hungry?"
Zhou Yi saw Lei Li out of the corner of his eye and looked up. "I was worried you'd wake up hungry during the night, so I got up and cooked some porridge. Would you like some? Or should I take a shower first? I've got some hot water."
"Have some porridge."
"Make you some snacks?"
"good."
"The pickled bamboo shoots are almost ready. Would you like to try some? They go great with porridge. They come in spicy or non-spicy versions."
"I want it spicy."
"good."
Zhou Yi nodded and opened a jar of pickled bamboo shoots soaked in chili peppers and soy sauce.
The tender white bamboo shoots are soaked into a dark brown sauce, with the dazzling spicy aroma and salty fragrance blending perfectly. The fermented sour taste is tempting and makes people's appetite open at the first smell.
Hot and sour bamboo shoots and cold purslane salad.
Lei Li was starving and ate three bowls of porridge in one breath before stopping. After he finished eating, Zhou Yi washed the bowls and asked him to take a shower and change his clothes.
Finished washing.
Lei Li went to the pigpen to check on the wild boars again. The dozen or so wild boars with patterns were huddled together in the corner of the pigpen. Some were sleeping, while others were grunting while eating grass.
Lei Li's home is close to the mountains.
Although squirrels sometimes steal sweet potatoes, it is easy to cut grass for pigs and pick wild vegetables.
Pigs eat a variety of foods. They can fill a basket with just a few bites. They can also eat young leaves of mushrooms that humans cannot eat, such as the herb Gelsemium elegans. Pigs will grow fat if they eat it, but humans will die if they eat it.
Lei Li caught a little wild boar and played with it for a while, scaring the little piglet into howling so shrilly that it attracted Zhou Yi out, who thought someone was trying to steal the pig.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
As Zhou Yi asked, he squatted down to watch Lei Li bullying the piglets. He used a vine to hang a pig's hoof so that the pig could not run away.
"I can't sleep."
Lei Li also caught the other piglet and tied it up, making them a pair of distressed brothers. "I slept too much during the day, and now I'm not sleepy at all. I want to find something to do."
I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t want Zhou Yi to go to sleep.
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about I help you bake sweet potatoes? Do you want to eat some?"
"How?"
"They build a small stove with mud blocks, burn firewood until it's red hot, throw the sweet potatoes in, smash the mud blocks, and cover them for more than half an hour until they're cooked."
"Can yam eggs be kiln-fired?"
"able."
Zhou Yi nodded.
Lei Li and Zhou Yi often went into the mountains and dug up wild yam whenever they saw it. There were many tubers on the vines of wild yam that were used for asexual reproduction. They would throw some into the soil to plant and pick the big ones to bring back.
Yam eggs are not sold at a high price, but they are soft and sticky, and Liu Yeer likes to eat them.
In addition to yam, sweet potato also grows this kind of tuber, which is very delicious when roasted in a fire, but it is a pity that Zhou Yi did not encounter sweet potato here.
Lei Li and Zhou Yi found a piece of wasteland nearby.
It took some time to build a mud house, and then burn firewood until the mud blocks were all red hot. Then I threw sweet potatoes and yam eggs into it, and the broken mud blocks made crackling sounds.
All was silent.
This is a scene not found in the countryside or wilderness.
There are always many small animals in the grass and woods, rustling crawling insects, loud nightingales, owls taking off from time to time, and frogs croaking in the fields.
And there is the talkative Lei Li.
"How long will it take for this sweet potato to be ready? I'm feeling hungry again... I need some popcorn."
"Those pickled bamboo shoots are delicious. Let's dig two more tomorrow morning and soak them in water. We can have them with porridge in the winter."
"Would you like to eat frogs?"
"Soybeans? We don't grow any at home, so we'll have to go to the market to buy some... Can't we use other beans to stew the frogs? For example, string beans, which also have beans in them."
"Traders in the north only become more numerous in the fall, and our soup packets probably won't be sold until the fall... It's no problem, I'm supporting you anyway."
Under the moonlight.
Brightly glowing.
Countless fireflies sway gracefully and melodiously, like free and unrestrained notes.
Zhou Yi listened to Lei Li's chatter, and his heart felt peaceful and tranquil, as if he was back in his childhood, when the rice was harvested in the summer, and he and his grandfather sat next to a tall pile of straw, listening to him tell stories about the Anti-Japanese War.
A firefly landed on Lei Li's shoulder.
Zhou Yi reached out and caught the firefly, then let it go. When he looked up, he saw Lei Li looking at him, "What's wrong? Are there fireflies on me too?"
"Well... I'll catch it."
Lei Li moved closer and stretched his hand behind Zhou Yi's neck, pretending to catch a firefly, but he actually grabbed the back of his neck and leaned over to kiss him.
Zhou Yi was pushed back slightly.
One hand supported the ground, and the other hand held Lei Li's waist, gentle and submissive, like a German Shepherd that looks fierce and domineering but loyal and obedient.
Lei Li became more and more demanding.
She sat on Zhou Yi's waist and abdomen and kissed him more deeply, but rarely did she take off his clothes. After the kiss, she sat back in her original position, panting lightly.
"Zhou Yi."
"Um?"
"Have you noticed..."
Lei Li's dark eyes smiled at him, playful yet serious. "You haven't resisted me kissing you in a long time, and you didn't push me away just now."
“…”
Zhou Yi felt a little strange when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Lei Li seriously and said, "I don't think I have any reason to push you away now."
"Really?"
Lei Li smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked him how long it would take for the sweet potatoes to be baked.
Lei Li has very white skin.
He didn't look like a man who had been doing farm work for years, but his palms were rough, covered with thick calluses, and had several wounds that had been inflicted at some unknown time.
He must have been accidentally cut by grass leaves when entering the mountains, or perhaps he was pricked by a splinter while chopping wood.
"I didn't even notice."
"It doesn't hurt at all."
"You'll see it healed later."
Lei Li always said this with a smile on his face and a light and nonchalant tone.
"...Thunderbolt."
"Um?"
Zhou Yi suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the face, with the moisture left from the kiss just now.
Warm.
Wet and soft.
Lei Li was stunned.
Zhou Yi was also stunned. He himself didn't know why he kissed her. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "I think I should kiss you now."
“…”
Lei Li's expression grew serious as he stared at Zhou Yi and asked, "Are you possessed by a demon? A horny, perverted maniac who's not picky about food?"
“…”
Zhou Yi shook his head, speechless, "No, there is no such thing in the world..."
He wanted to say that there were no ghosts in the world and that ghosts and gods were just feudal superstitions, but when he thought about how unscientific it was for him to come to this world, he changed his words.
"The sweet potatoes should be ready. Let's dig up the soil."
"good."
Lei Li didn't hesitate either.
The two men dug up the still-hot soil and dug out the sweet potatoes that were already oozing with honey juice, as well as the yam balls that had been burnt to the point of being torn apart.
The sweet potatoes from the kiln are very fragrant.
When Yi broke it open, a honey-like aroma came out, and the juice was as thick as honey. The sweet potato flesh was hot, but sticky, fragrant, soft and chewy.
The yam eggs are soft, sticky and dense.
The fragrance woke up Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er who were sleeping. They came out wearing their coats and saw two dark figures squatting outside the yard in the night.
The two elders were a little scared.
"Dad and Mom!"
Lei Li waved, and the two elders realized that it was their brother and son-in-law, and they also joined the group eating the sweet potatoes.
"In fact, you can also bake chicken, pork ribs and pork elbows. Marinate them, wrap them in lotus leaves, cover them with a layer of mud, and then throw them into the red-hot earthen stove."
Zhou Yi smacked his lips and said.
Modern people like to use tin foil, but tin foil is not as good as lotus leaves, which have a natural fragrance.
"It's still possible..."
The three members of the Lei family exclaimed in amazement.
This practice should be common among aristocratic landlords. They have money and free time, so they like to think about these different and interesting ways of eating.
Ordinary people had trouble getting enough food all year round, let alone the thought of throwing meat into a kiln. If someone who had never eaten it saw it, they would definitely curse it as a waste of food.
But Lei Li had agreed that if he caught a wild boar, he would give Zhou Yi two chickens to eat, one for stewing mushrooms and the other for kiln cooking. Isn’t that too much?
Lei Li knew what he was planning as soon as he heard it, so he smiled jokingly and agreed without objecting.
So Zhou Yi got up early the next morning, rolled up his sleeves, and started to boil water and kill chickens.
A chicken is eaten.
Two chickens are also eaten.
Zhou Yi simply put the two selected chickens into the pot and stewed them with the mushrooms that Miao Fulang brought him, and made the other one into lotus leaves to be taken to the brothel as clothing.
Liu Ye'er watched from the side with a look of heartache on her face. These little hens can lay eggs, and one chicken can earn about sixty cents a month. Of course she couldn't bear to eat them.
But since Li Ge'er had already agreed, Liu Ye'er wouldn't say anything and even helped pluck the feathers when killing the chicken.
noon.
The aroma spread out of the Lei family.
From a distance, it floated into a carriage entering the village, immediately arousing the carriage owner's taste buds and curiosity, and he asked the servant to drive the carriage over.
Lei Dashan was doing carpentry work in the yard. There was a bench at home that was so broken that it could not be sat on, so he wanted to make two more stools and also make two wooden hairpins for Li Ge'er to tie his hair.
When he looked up, he saw a carriage with tall horses. A stranger got out. He was wearing a brocade robe and looked either rich or noble. He was coming towards his home.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Be a bench."
Lei Dashan replied, stopping what he was doing and looking at him, "Who are you looking for?"
"Oh, I'm from the county town. I'm the owner of the Shanzhen Restaurant. My name is Haiwei."
The shopkeeper, Haiwei, smiled and said, "I smelled the aroma from afar. It seemed to be coming from this direction, and before I knew it, I had arrived at your house..."
