Chapter 65 064. "How can I know if you like it or not if you don't tell me..."
On the first night in his new home, Lei Li tried out the new bed.
The big bed was not crowded enough for three Zhou Yis to sleep on. It had no carvings but was very sturdy. Lei Li suddenly pushed Zhou Yi down on the bed. The tall and strong man fell on it, and there was only a dull sound of a heavy object falling.
Lei Li laughed. "If that old bed in the countryside were to make a long creaking sound right now, you'd probably say your parents would hear it."
Not only when he pounced on Zhou Yi, but sometimes when he turned over, there would be a little creaking sound. The house had poor sound insulation, so it was easy for Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er to hear it.
Then the next day, Liu Ye'er would look at Zhou Yi with loving eyes, as if to thank him for his hard work, which made Zhou Yi feel guilty and embarrassed.
So when Lei Li deliberately made trouble, Zhou Yi would usually choose to go along with him.
"The soundproofing is not good, and you knew it and still messed around..."
Zhou Yi's ears turned red. Seeing Lei Li sitting on his lap with his smiling eyes full of interest, he still felt a little embarrassed.
He held Lei Li's waist with his clumsy hands to prevent him from falling.
"What's wrong?"
Lei Li smiled frivolously, skillfully put one hand on Zhou Yi's shoulder, the other around his neck, and lowered her head slightly to kiss him.
"Open your mouth."
Lei Li was half a head shorter than him, but the sitting and holding posture lifted Lei Li up a little, changing his usual slightly upward perspective to a downward gaze with drooping eyelashes, which seemed a bit condescending.
Lei Li likes this active position of looking down.
She could see every subtle change in Zhou Yi's expression, and could also see the restraint and desire in his eyes, as well as a slight excitement and shyness.
Although his hands were still quite immature when hugging someone, Zhou Yi would not hug the person if he didn't like the person, but would push the person away, right?
Twenty-eight years old.
There are many people who are still unmarried at such an old age, and some who have never touched the opposite sex. However, there are very few who are so restrained and inexperienced, and this is exactly what Lei Li wants.
He likes it this way.
"Zhou Yi."
Lei Li raised his eyebrows and teased with a smile, "Why are you so shy? Even hugging and kissing are so awkward..."
"When cooking, there are so many dishes and methods, so many seasonings, and I've never seen you make mistakes. How come you can't do it here?"
“Learning ability grows with experience and age.”
Zhou Yi's ears flushed as he explained seriously, "I've been cooking for so many years, so I'm very good at it. If you understand most of the cooking methods and the types and characteristics of meat and vegetables, it's easy for you to get started and you can apply what you've learned to other situations."
"For example, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour spareribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and sweet and sour chicken wings all have similar recipes. Braised pork, braised spareribs, and braised chicken wings are also similar. Making soup and porridge is even simpler..."
Zhou Yi was halfway through his words when Lei Li pinched his mouth.
"I'm telling you...you're telling me about cooking?"
Lei Li knew Zhou Yi's character very well, but he smiled meaningfully, "Zhou Yi, did you do this on purpose?"
"…What on purpose?"
"nothing."
Lei Li blinked and said with a smile, "Zhou Yi, can you teach me how to cook?"
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment. "Okay, but why learn to cook? The kitchen smells very fumes, and the windows are small, so the air doesn't circulate that well. It's not good for your health."
"Besides, if there are two people cooking in the kitchen, there will be no one to serve guests in front... Hire a waiter? I can help you share some of the work, and you can just charge the money."
Hearing this, Lei Li's eyes curved even wider as he smiled and teased, "So good? Why don't you find someone to help you cook?"
"I can handle it for now."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment, "If you know someone who wants to learn cooking from me, you can take him in as an apprentice. You wouldn't want to invite someone you don't know into the kitchen, because you don't know if he'll stab us in the back after learning."
"Although you always smile and have a good heart, you actually have very high defenses and don't trust others very well."
Lei Li looked at him, and the smile in his eyes suddenly faded. "Then do you think I believe you?"
"Not entirely."
Zhou Yi looked back at him calmly, "But I will wait until the day you completely trust me. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, I believe you."
“…”
Lei Li looked at him quietly for three seconds, then suddenly leaned forward and kissed him deeply, panting slightly as she said, "Even though you said such nice things, I won't reward you..."
"But if you want something, you can tell me."
You want me to believe you...
That's fine too.

Trust doesn't come overnight.
Lei Li no longer has much confidence in Zhou Yi's skills. They are not completely related to his talent in cooking, if not worlds apart.
After making a fuss for a long time, she finally fell asleep in Zhou Yi's arms.
Zhou Yi had trouble sleeping for a rare time, and now there was someone in his arms, whom he took the initiative to hug. It felt warm and heavy, and he felt at ease.
Zhou Yi touched his face and stared at it for a long time unconsciously.
He has sharp features, is handsome, tall, has fair skin, a good figure, long legs... and a nice butt. Although he has a sharp tongue, he has a good heart.
I don’t know why Lei Li always said that he was ugly and asked Zhou Yi if he disliked him. She was always worried that Zhou Yi would run away, especially that time when Zhou Yi went out to chop bamboo shoots in the early morning and Lei Li ran out in such a hurry with such a bad look on his face.
Zhou Yi touched the scar on his face and wondered curiously, wouldn't that make him look even uglier?
He could scare children to tears on the street. Gui Fulang's little Tiger Boy had been scared to tears by him several times. Gui Fulang and Lei Li did not get along, so Gui Fulang always felt that he was taking his anger out on the child.
Zhou Yi was quite wronged.
I also think Lei Li should be more confident... If Lei Li is more confident, he won't marry two sons-in-law, right?
Although Lei Li said that she liked him, it seemed that Lei Li liked kissing and having sex with him more than liking him... He also said before that he had been to a brothel.
oh.
Last time, he said that he would take care of him during his confinement period and other people's confinement period after giving birth.
Zhou Yi suddenly fell into deep thought.
—
When Lei Li woke up, he felt that Zhou Yi was a little strange. He always looked at him for a long time, and then seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and also seemed to be a little self-condemning.
What's going on?
Did you steal his money or kick him out of bed in the middle of the night last night?
Lei Li counted the money in the money box and found that there was not a penny missing. He then felt himself and found that apart from the normal discomfort caused by rolling around in bed, there was nothing else.
Otherwise, it is...
Last night he said that Zhou Yi did not do well, and Zhou Yi felt wronged and sad, but he did not dare to be angry with him?
Lei Li thought about it and felt that this was probably the case. After thinking about it again, he generously counted out ten coins...twenty coins and gave them to Zhou Yi while saying,
"Last night was actually pretty good, just a little clumsy. It'll be fine after a few tries... Should we continue tonight?"
"……ah?"
Zhou Yi was a little happy at first, but when he heard the last four words, his ears started to heat up again. "Tonight? Isn't that too often? Healthy sex should be regular and moderate."
"It's quite healthy."
Lei Li's rosy face was smiling, "Doing it every night doesn't count as regularity and moderation? I didn't ask you to indulge in lust during the day."
“…”
So straightforward.
Zhou Yi still sounded a little uncomfortable, the kind of uncomfortable that made his face flush and his ears feel hot.
He wanted to persuade Lei Li to be more restrained, but when he thought about it, he thought that he had rejected Lei Li too many times, and Lei Li would not really go out to find someone... Zhou Yi shut his mouth again.
Let him come.
At worst...
Does he also drink some wine soaked with epimedium?
Zhou Yi shook his head again and thought, forget it, it wasn’t that serious. He was just worried that Lei Li couldn’t handle it.

Zhou Yi got the pepper and tried it himself to see how spicy it was. It was about the same as the Erjingtiao pepper, but the plant and fruit were slightly larger than the Erjingtiao pepper and could produce more fruit.
I don’t know if the small village in Nakagawa Prefecture specially cultivated these peppers for better viewing, or if the peppers were naturally so lush.
First, he and Lei Li tried it several times and found the degree that Lei Li could accept. Although Zhou Yi personally felt that this level of spiciness was no different from not adding any spice, he still tried it in a fast food restaurant on a small scale.
Only a little bit of chili was added to the vinegar-fried potato shreds, and there was also a dish of spicy diced chicken... a less spicy version of spicy diced chicken.
really.
Only a very small number of people would spend money to try the new flavor, but Zhou Yi was not discouraged. Firstly, there were only five peppers, and secondly, he liked spicy food himself, so it didn't matter if fewer people ate it.
This allowed him to experiment with more spicy dishes, and he could also dry some chilies, grind them into chili powder, and make sour vegetables with salt and licorice.
The flavor is very unique.
Although Lei Li didn't like spicy food very much, he was very satisfied with this snack and asked Zhou Yi to buy more heavy fruits to experiment.
Finally, Lei Li’s favorite is the sour plum.
There are also cold dishes.
It's so hot in the summer, and eating some spicy, sour and appetizing cold dishes can make Lei Li feel much better.
Considering that the peppers will be used to make pickled bamboo shoots in the future, Zhou Yi has already started to grow pepper seedlings, hoping to grow the first batch as soon as possible.
The snails have become fatter recently.
Lei Dashan would probably like the spicy version of the stew with sour bamboo shoots, snails and duck feet, and Liu Ye'er would probably like the cold dishes and sour wild vegetables. Zhou Yi and Lei Li were planning to bring their parents up to live with them in a few days.
As for peppers not making money——
Lei Li didn't have high expectations at first. If Zhou Yi didn't want it, he wouldn't have spent so much time and effort to trick Meng Luo. He could enjoy several flavors without spending a penny, so Lei Li felt that he had made a good deal.
Maybe he was led astray by Zhou Yi. He obviously didn't have such a strong appetite before.
With the peppers and new dishes, Zhou Yi and Lei Li of course also sent some to Zhu Da Hu and Zhu Zhu Er who lived nearby in the county town.
Zhu Zhuer is now advanced in her pregnancy and has a very picky taste, with no interest in anything.
Her husband often had to run to several places and buy things with great effort, but Zhu Zhuer suddenly didn't like the things anymore and wanted to eat something else.
Her husband had to go again. If he didn't, Zhu Zhuer would be unhappy and angry for several days. Even if Zhu Zhuer was happy, she could not eat much and always felt nauseous.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuer particularly likes Suanye, which is sour, spicy and sweet, and very appetizing. She can eat several bowls of porridge at a time.
