Chapter Seventy-Three: Farm Life
Liu Liu took the rag thrown by Zheng Haoyu, still a little puzzled, she opened her mouth and asked, "We are going to live here today?"
Zheng Haoyu skillfully swept the ground, and Liu Liu looked at him and felt a little unreal. "Aren't you ready to do it? I have to cook for myself at night!" He looks so funny, although he also looks good, but he is Zheng Haoyu after all! Liu Liu couldn't believe it, let him sweep the floor and cook, what kind of scene would this be?
Liu Liu was suspicious, picked up a rag and cleaned the room. She wore an apron and sleeves, and she really looked like that! Zheng Haoyu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Liu Liu's face was dusty and the tip of his nose was gray.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Liu was a little inexplicably laughed at by him, and there was no mirror in the room, she looked at Zheng Haoyu suspiciously, and asked curiously with wide eyes.
Zheng Haoyu deliberately didn't say anything, and took out the kitchen and dishes and chopsticks to wash them. Liu Liu muttered unconvinced: "Hmph, you weirdo! Don't say it, if you don't say it, pull it down!" and then took the mop and mopped the floor angrily.
The two of them worked in a hot mood for a while, covered in sweat. Zheng Haoyu walked over, and he said calmly: "Now let's go to the backyard and have a look, dinner will be handed over to you!" He waved his hand lightly, revealing a wicked smile.
She rolled her eyes at him, "Okay, aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"
Zheng Haoyu said confidently: "If I'm afraid, I won't bring you here, go, I'll take you over!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand triumphantly, took Liu Liu's little hand and went to the backyard.
The backyard is a hearty little vegetable garden with amaranth, water spinach, leeks and greens on the ground. The loofah shelves are covered with small, skinny loofahs. Liu Liu has only seen bundles of clean vegetables in the vegetable market supermarket, and he has never seen them growing on the ground.
"Whatever you like, we'll pick it. Zheng Haoyu said kindly, he took Liu Liu's little hand and stroked it gently. Her hand was so soft and comfortable, he was reluctant to let go.
Liu Liu was very novel and happy, and he had almost forgotten about what happened last night and this morning. She happily ran to the loofah shelf and said to Zheng Haoyu excitedly: "Let's eat loofah, I like to burn loofah soup." As he spoke, he let go of Zheng Haoyu's hand and went to pick a loofah.
But the shelves were a little high, and she couldn't pick one after picking one. Zheng Haoyu saw it and immediately hugged Liu Liu. Liu Liu was overjoyed, one, two, three...... I picked a lot of them. "You pick so much, are we going to eat loofahs tonight?" Zheng Haoyu's face was filled with joy, and the whole person was full of energy.
"Ahh But she just didn't want to admit her mistake, she said unconvinced: "We can't eat it, then can we take it back to Sister Wu! When the time comes, let her cook loofah soup for you every day, anyway, your face will be as long as a loofah!" After teasing Zheng Haoyu, she was overjoyed. It was like a kind of satisfaction after a successful ploy, and he laughed "cluck! cluck!" Zheng Haoyu hugged her and deliberately let go, causing Liu Liu to scream "Ah!" in fright.
The two of them picked some greens in the vegetable garden, and Grandpa Zhang came over and brought them rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and eggs. "You two are really happy! Ordinary young couples are like this!" The old man was infected by their joyful emotions, and the two people who were giggling just now actually blushed after hearing the old man's words.
Liu Liu hugged the loofah and walked into the house with his head down. Zheng Haoyu also stopped saying a word for a while, and followed Liu Liu into the kitchen. The two of them began to wash and chop vegetables, and everything was really as the old man said, no different from the newlywed couple. After the rice is well sorted and the vegetables are cut, here is the most arduous task -- cooking rice and vegetables! Liu Liu has never seen an earthen stove, two large pots and a stove, what is the situation, do the rice and vegetables have to be burned here?
"Don't stand still! it's not early today, and if you don't do it, we'll be hungry at night." Zheng Haoyu looked at her with a smile, knowing that she must be worried about this "new stove".
Liu Liu was a little embarrassed, she actually didn't know how to use it. But she couldn't show weakness in front of Zheng Haoyu, so she bragged, as if she was very confident, "I'm thinking about the dishes at night, what's so difficult about this, isn't it just cooking and cooking?
Liu Liu picked up the washed rice and poured it into the cauldron at once. There is a rice cooker for cooking at home, and there is a fixed scale, and the amount of water in this cauldron here is really difficult to grasp. She took the water spoon and suddenly made another difficulty. Zheng Haoyu looked at her cute little appearance and secretly laughed on the side.
She calculated in her heart for a long time, and when she saw Zheng Haoyu's gloating expression, she began to pout again. Hmph! Just fall down, and save yourself from worry.
Zheng Haoyu was a little surprised and suspicious when he saw Liu Liu pour a spoonful of water. He stared at Liu Liu's still somewhat dusty little face, and said suspiciously, "Are you sure you want to put so much water?" Or are you just going to cook porridge?"
Liu Liu glanced at him, and then said stiffly: "I often cook at home, and this common sense is still there!" After speaking, she closed the lid and glanced at Zheng Haoyu with her big eyes.
Zheng Haoyu was a little amused in his heart, this girl is still so unwilling to admit defeat! Let's see what kind of food she will cook later! He held his hands and watched her silently from the side. Liu Liu was panicked by him. But she pretended to be very sophisticated, and after the rice was in the pot, she went to the back of the stove to light the fire. After lighting it several times, it finally burned, regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, and suddenly added a lot of firewood to the stove. Yes, let it cook slowly!
After the rice is processed, it is time to stir-fry. But Liu Liu only has one pair of hands, and she can't take care of the front and back. She had just thought of pouring oil into the pot, but she forgot to light a fire in the pot. So he put down the shovel and went to the back of the stove to make a fire for the pot. The fire was lit, but after a while, the oil pot was too hot to work! Liu Liu hurriedly poured the green vegetables down, and all of a sudden, the oil pot was too strong and the flames came out.
"Ahh Zheng Haoyu was shocked when he saw it, and immediately ran over to hold her arm and observe carefully, "Does it hurt, does it hurt?"
"Hmm......" There was a trace of tears in Liu Liu's eyes, and his wrist that was burned by the fire hurt his heart. Zheng Haoyu saw that her snow-white wrists were flushed, and some places were blistered. "It's all my fault, you didn't do it and let you cook!
Liu Liu felt that he was really unlucky, so he burned it for a while, why did tears roll in his eyes? Zheng Haoyu walked to the stove and brought a bottle of soy sauce. He poured the soy sauce into the bowl and took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket.
"Don't move, I'll give you medicine, and it won't hurt after a while." As he spoke, he gently dipped his handkerchief in soy sauce and carefully applied it to Liu Liu's wound.
Liu Liu gritted his teeth, it was still painful at first, but after a while, the soy sauce was really cool after being smeared. "How did you do this?" Liu Liu was surprised, he would still do this?
Zheng Haoyu still "medicated" her unhurriedly, "It's very simple, when I was burned before, others also treated me like this. His tone was gentle, like an adult coaxing his injured child. After the soy sauce was applied, he lowered his head and blew on the wound, waiting for the soy sauce to dry a little before reassuring. "You can't touch the water for a few days, be careful of suppuration and infection. ”
He straightened up and found an apron to wrap around his waist. "Alas, it seems that I have to do it myself!" After speaking, he winked at Liu Liu, revealing a very reluctant expression.
Liu Liu looked at Zheng Haoyu like a monster, only to see him put up Liu Liu's freshly burned vegetables and throw them away, and after washing the pot, he went to the back to burn firewood and add fire. His movements are very coherent and smooth, and he is not at a loss like Liu Liu. Pour the oil, put the vegetables in the pot, stir-fry, and finally add the ingredients. Liu Liu was a little stupid, he was so skilled, he could do it in one go! It didn't take long for the two dishes and one soup to be cooked. When the dish was served to Liu Liu, she couldn't believe her eyes, this was done by that big demon king Zheng Haoyu?
Zheng Haoyu prepared the dishes and chopsticks, and then he walked to Liu Liu's rice pot and opened the lid at once. I saw him frowning, and the shovel in his hand was not put into the pot. Liu Liu's stomach was already hungry, and she didn't eat for a day today. Her eyes kept staring at the dishes on the table, urging Zheng Haoyu, "Why don't you serve the meal, I'm starving!"
Zheng Haoyu hesitated and shook his head, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Liu Liu felt very strange, could it be that the rice had not been cooked yet. She got up from her chair, walked over to the pot and looked at it, and was dumbfounded!
Is this still rice? I saw that some of the rice grains were already burned, and the rice in the middle was like porridge. Zheng Haoyu shoveled a little with a shovel and said sarcastically: "Is this your good craft? It seems that we can only eat this tonight!"
Liu Liu looked at this pot of "masterpieces", and his face was hot. She smiled awkwardly, still looking unwilling to admit defeat, "As long as it's cooked, who told you not to do it yourself? I don't care anyway, I'm afraid that you, a big capitalist, can't get used to it!"
