Chapter 66 065. Zhou Yi was touched by his hot temper? ?
As long as you can eat it.
Zhu Zhuer's husband Zhu Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared a lot of plums and white radishes at home, as well as oranges, sand pears, star fruits and green grapes.
Zhou Yi asked Zhu Qingshan and Zhang Daqiang to inquire about the last few types after he got the peppers, but after listening to the description, Lei Li discovered that they were also available in Sanlihe Village.
There are oil-fruited oranges, star fruits and sand pears in Sanlihe Village, but they are not called these three names. Instead, they are called ox-fruited oranges, five-petaled oranges and sand pears.
"The name 'Niuganzi' comes from the fact that cows sometimes eat it, and the name 'Wubanzi' comes from the fact that it has five petals and can be broken into individual petals so that children can share them."
Lei Li explained, "The skin of the shapi is brown and feels sandy, like it's made of sand. It's also round and doesn't look like a pear."
These three kinds of fruits grew up naturally in the mountains. No one fertilized them and took care of them. They were extremely sour and no one in the village liked to eat them. Except for the cattle-herding children who would pick some to smack in their mouths, no one else picked them.
Lei Li only liked silver, had no appetite, and didn't like eating fruit, so when Zhou Yi asked about it at first, he had no impression.
Zhou Yi didn't think that they would change their names. In addition, these three are mature in summer and autumn, and the vegetation in the mountains is dense, so he didn't find them after going into the mountains several times.
Green grapes are easy to find.
But this thing didn't bear fruit before, and Zhou Yi wanted to eat it but couldn't pick it. Now it is ripe and has chili peppers, but it is not sold in the county town.
Because it is also sour, almost no one is interested in it except pregnant women and their husbands.
Oh, and his husband.
Lei Li glanced at the disappointed Zhou Yi and thought to himself, his husband is really a freak who likes strange tastes. He either likes to eat spicy peppers that make people feel painful, or he likes super sour things.
etc.
So, does Zhou Yi like him because... he tastes spicy and sour?
“……?”
Zhou Yi saw Lei Li's thoughtful and strange look, and he felt a little uneasy. Why did Lei Li suddenly look at him like that? He hadn't done anything bad, had he?
"Zhou Yi."
"……What's wrong?"
"What do you think I smell like?"
“???”
Zhou Yi was confused, and then he saw Lei Li asked him seriously and strangely, "Do you think I'm hot?"
"this……"
Zhou Yi's ears suddenly turned red, and several images that would be blocked by a dog flashed through his mind. He stammered, "It's, it's quite spicy..."
“Really spicy?”
"Um……"
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, his eyes accidentally falling on Lei Li's neck and ear. Thinking of some erotic whispers, his ears turned red.
“……?”
Lei Li was shocked and confused. He looked at Zhou Yi suspiciously for three seconds, then licked the palm of his hand, but it tasted bland.
Licked it again.
It's really tasteless.
Why do you say he is spicy? Spiciness is a pain sensation... but he doesn't feel any pain.
but……
Lei Li stared at Zhou Yi suspiciously, "...Zhou Yi, why are you blushing?"
"No……"
Zhou Yi's eyes drifted across Lei Li's palm, and he couldn't help but wonder, now in broad daylight, does Lei Li also want to do it with him? But at night too...
Is that too much?
"Zhou Yi, your face is getting even redder."
Lei Li was completely baffled. What had he done to be embarrassed? He had simply asked Zhou Yi if he was spicy...wait.
It seems that your face will turn red if you are touched by spicy food.
Was Zhou Yi touched by his spiciness?
ah? ? ?
—
Lei Li tried it a few more times, licking his lips, palms, and biting his shoulders and knees. They weren't spicy at all, but it was a little painful if he bit too hard.
Finally came to the conclusion——
Zhou Yi is a strange man with a unique taste.
Lei Li understood this. After all, anyone who fell in love with him didn't seem like a normal person.
Seeing Zhou Yi still thinking about finding the oil oranges and carambolas, Lei Li said casually,
"Send a message to Miao Fulang, asking him to pick a few baskets for you when he goes into the mountains and send them back the next day. Although they won't be as delicious as the fresh ones, they're not bad either."
"Anyway, this fruit will remain so sour even if it's left for another day. Zhu Zhuer and I can't eat much, so we can just leave the extra ones in the store and sell them."
"good."
Zhou Yi nodded.
Mr. Miao acted quickly. He asked someone to deliver a message to him today and he will come tomorrow with a few baskets of fruits and mushrooms, riding in the ox cart of the Lei Li family.
Because Lei Dashan and Liu Yeer also came with them.
My brother bought a new house, so as his parents, we naturally wanted to come and take a look and get familiar with the route. They also brought two ducks and a bucket of fresh snails.
"These two ducks are for you and Zhou Yi to eat. There are also snails and radish. Didn't you say you wanted to eat them last time? Your father and I picked up a bucket and brought it here."
As Liu Ye'er spoke, she penned the ducks in the yard, then changed the water in the bucket containing the snails and sprinkled some salt in it to help them spit out the sand.
"By the way, in case you invite others to play at home and there aren't enough stools to sit on, your father has made a few new stools. But there's no room for them on the ox cart. I'll bring them to you next time."
"Okay."
Lei Li responded and gave the freshly made sour food to Liu Ye'er and Lei Dashan to try. "Zhou Yi has come up with a new way to eat it. It's a different way to eat the five-color pepper."
Inside the large bowl are crushed plums, sliced star fruit and pear, and tangerine peel, mixed with chili powder, salt, licorice, chopped perilla, and a small amount of sugar.
I didn’t add green grapes because they taste better after being pickled.
"Are these the fruits you asked Miao Fulang to bring?"
Liu Ye'er was a little curious, so she picked up a piece of plum with a bamboo stick and put it in her mouth. It was first slightly spicy, then salty, and then the sourness of the plum itself and the sweet aftertaste.
Very complex and strange taste.
But it's delicious.
Liu Ye'er's eyes lit up. "When I was pregnant with you, I wish I had something like this to eat. It's refreshing and appetizing."
After hearing what she said, Lei Dashan and Miao Fulang also tried a piece with a bamboo stick.
Lei Dashan liked it immediately, but Miao Fulang's expression was a little strange. He wanted to spit it out but felt it was impolite, and his face turned red.
Seeing this, Lei Li quickly told him to spit it out.
"Pooh"
Miao Fulang spat out the carambola, but the spicy taste still lingered. He drank several sips of water before he felt better. His face flushed red. "...What a strange taste, a bit like ginger, but not quite the same."
“Ginger is spicy, and chili peppers are simply painful.”
Zhou Yi walked out of the kitchen, looked at Miao Fulang's face and said, "Maybe this is your first time eating chili peppers, and your body is not used to it yet. It's not ruled out that you may be allergic."
"allergy?"
This was the first time Miao Fulang heard this word.
“Allergy refers to the tissue damage or dysfunction that occurs when an immune system is stimulated by the same antigen again.”
Zhou Yi explained, "Allergic reactions are characterized by rapid onset, strong reactions, and rapid resolution, but generally do not destroy tissue cells or cause serious tissue damage."
Lei Dashan, Liu Ye'er and Miao Fulang all looked at him in confusion.
Lei Li patted Zhou Yi's head expertly, "I don't understand. Speak human language."
"How do I put this..."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and explained in a simple and understandable way, "An allergy is when the body feels uncomfortable with something. The first time you eat it, it's fine, but the second time, you'll get a rash, diarrhea, and itchy skin."
"Although the discomfort is quite severe, it's generally not fatal and will return to normal within a day or two."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye'er's face paled. "I remember there was a child in the village who ate a few peanuts and soon developed a rash. He said it was very itchy and his throat was swollen."
"The doctor didn't know how to treat it, but the child recovered on his own in a few days."
"Then one time, he ate peanuts again, a lot. His throat became severely swollen, and his entire body broke out in a rash... This time, he never recovered."
Miao Fulang's face turned pale instantly. Looking at the green and red sour fruit in the bowl, he took several steps back unconsciously, "Then I, my face was also very red just now..."
"You're just feeling the spiciness, not an allergy."
Lei Li said calmly, "And it's no coincidence that you're allergic to chili peppers. Don't scare yourself. If you're not allergic, you might end up making yourself sick."
"You're right..."
Miao Fulang breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a little embarrassed for making such a big fool of himself the first time he ate it, but he humbly said, "How do you make this? Put less chili in it. My little baby will probably like it."
Xiaobao likes to eat fruits. When Miao Fulang goes up the mountain to pick mushrooms, he will pick a handful for Xiaobao to hold in his mouth, but he doesn't let him eat too much because it will make his teeth sour.
But I didn’t bring Xiaobao with me this time.
He always brings Xiaobao here, which makes him feel like he is eating for free. Mr. Miao feels a little embarrassed and wants to go back to compensate Xiaobao after delivering the fruits and mushrooms.
The fruit is also bought for money.
“That’s easy.”
Zhou Yi explained the method, thought for a moment, and then said, "When the seedlings grow, I'll give you one to plant back home. Just water it like you would vegetables."
"That works."
Miao Fulang smiled happily.
—
The two ducks are rice field ducks raised by our family. They either eat snails or herbs every day, and often swim in the water. Their meat is firm and plump.
The duck offal is stir-fried with chili peppers, especially the duck intestines, which are crispy, spicy and chewy. The duck blood can also be made into duck blood vermicelli soup with vermicelli.
After the snails spit out the sand, they are paired with bamboo shoots, duck feet, and a small amount of chili peppers. The stew is so delicious that it will make your teeth fall apart.
Lei Dashan and Liu Ye'er happened to be there, so Zhou Yi and Lei Li killed a duck and called Zhu Dafu's family and Zhang Daqiang.
Zhang Daqiang has helped them a lot recently and is a very generous person. Every time Lei Ji Fast Food Restaurant releases new dishes, he calls his friends to come and try them.
Zhou Yi and Lei Li both thought he was a nice guy and could be a friend, so they invited him to the housewarming party.
Miao Fulang did not stay.
He wanted to go back and take Xiaobao with him, but Lei Li packed him a portion of duck meat without chili peppers, and a portion of sour and wild meat, which was slightly spicy.
I’m worried that my baby won’t be able to adapt to hot peppers.
