Chapter 11: This Damn Sweet

In the early morning, the sun, urged by the crowing of chickens, lazily beckons to the earth. Gradually, the sun poked its head out of the horizon.

In the distance, smoke was already curling in the village, a light mist was in the air, and early risers were already toiling back and forth. At the beginning of the morning, the breeze is gentle and the sun is just right.

The first rays of sunlight shine through the screen windows, and the person on the bed sleeps on his back, as if bathed in a sea of pale gold. The face is more three-dimensional due to the light of the sun, thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a beautiful jawline, and at the moment the eyes are closed, and a smile is inadvertently revealed on the handsome and picturesque face, as if he is dreaming something......

The fire room (kitchen) is covered with sand and is made of wood and stone. Inside the fire room, there was a stove under which a fire was burning: a stone table with pots and pans and some cooking utensils neatly arranged. Although the fire room is simple, it is exceptionally tidy.

He Yan lowered her head, peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, washed the sweet potato with water, put it on the stone table, picked up a kitchen knife, cut the sweet potato into small pieces, put it in a basin, and placed it next to the stone table. He Yan took the flour, stirred the flour ingredients, added appropriate warm water and evenly. Next, let the dough rise for 10 minutes and then press it smooth. Then, she kneaded the pressed dough into strips of uniform thickness, then cut the steamed buns with a knife of the right size, and cut a knife in the middle of the steamed buns, so that she could tear them and eat them and save steaming time. Put the sliced steamed buns into the steamer, leaving a certain interval to prevent them from sticking together after steaming. Finally, let the steamed buns rise for 30 minutes and steam for about 10 minutes. So, the fragrant white flour steamed buns were baked~~~

Approaching the corner of the wall, He Yan took a basin and poured out some coarse rice from the clay pot, added an appropriate amount of cold water, stirred the rice in the water a few times with her hands, poured out most of the water, leaving a small amount of water, and rubbed it gently with her hands. Repeat a few times, wait until the water gradually becomes clear, control the ratio of water to rice, pour it into the pot with the sweet potato cut earlier, add a little jaggery sugar, add firewood to the stove, and control the heat and time. Finally, the sweet potato porridge is baked~~~

It's so uncomfortable, the poor have no salt, so they can only cook some sweet porridge······

The sun was half-hung in the sky, and the warm sunlight sprinkled down through the sparse leaves, forming a faint golden spot on the ground. The birds in the trees are still tirelessly searching for food, and the grass on the ground is desperately growing. The sky was as blue as a wash, with a few rare clouds, surrounding the sun, trying to hide its infinite brilliance. The sun shines through the thin clouds and shines down on the entire house.

Shen Hao saw this picture when he got up, on the wooden table, there was fragrant food, He Yan sat on the chair, her head tilted on her arms, and fell asleep on the table. Shen Hao approached He Yan and couldn't help but look carefully, the long black hair was loosely tied behind his head, fixed with a wooden hairpin, and occasionally a few strands of elegance. Her hands looked white and delicate, very slender, and her fingertips were round, and they didn't look like a man's hands at all, but like a girl's house. The mind is unconsciously disturbed······

What's wrong with you??? He's just a man, but he's more girly

Shen Hao collected his thoughts, changed his usual expression, and poked He Yan's arm, "Xiao'er, get up." I'm hungry and ready to eat. ”

He Yan glanced at Shen Hao in a hazy haze, and then fell down again. After reacting to something, he immediately returned to his senses and sat up straight.

looked at Shen Hao, and then looked at the sun outside, but fortunately, he didn't sleep for too long. He Yan got up, took out a bowl of porridge, and then took a white-flour steamed bun.

Shen Hao stretched out his hand to pick it up, but He Yan left with breakfast, not seeing the man's actions at all······

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~ I hold it myself

He silently filled a full bowl by himself, and also took a big steamed bun, but he really starved to death.

At this time, He Yan just came out. Approaching the wooden table, sitting in the seat just now, serving a bowl of porridge, with a soup spoon, along the edge of the bowl, drinking one sip at a time, how elegantly drunk. He looked at her and felt that she didn't look like a man, after all, the boys from poor families were in charge early, and the time was squeezed out, where would they eat so leisurely. He Yan noticed his gaze, thought of something, and snatched his job.

"What's wrong?" He looked at He Yan in surprise, he was hungry before he had eaten.

"Ahem, cough~~~ Childe, I am a poor family, and I can't afford to be a man with sound limbs and a strong body like you. Borrowing a night last night is already benevolent, and we haven't confiscated the cost of the child's stay. ”

He Yan rolled around with a pair of big eyes, thought about it and said in a smaller voice: "Besides, I helped Gongzi treat his wounds and lead Gongzi down the mountain, without merit and hard work." Even if I was kind, I didn't say anything about the admission fee. ”

"Now, for a meal, that's not enough. As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky. Moreover, my porridge boiling process is complicated, sweet potato slices are thin and moderate is a process, controlling the proportion of water and rice is a process, and controlling the heat is also a process. She tapped her little fingers on the table as she spoke, a habitual gesture of her thoughts.

Li Yu in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties once wrote in "Leisure and Occasional Delivery: Drinking and Food"; When the water is used, it must be limited to a number, so that the spoon can not be increased, and the drop can not be reduced, and then the heat is mixed thoroughly, and the water must be limited to a number, so that the spoon can not be increased, the drop can not be reduced, and then the heat is adjusted thoroughly. It can be seen that this meal is very difficult. He Yan pretended to cry.

This man should have been hungry for a long time, I don't believe he doesn't play tricks, and people are not short of money after all.

"What do you think I should do?" Shen Hao looked tentative.

He Yan's little face was already wrinkled, that is called a bitter, doesn't he understand what I mean, shouldn't it.

Shen Hao looked at He Yan and saw that her expression was very struggling, and finally guessed the reason why she wanted to keep him, money.

He~ It's really funny, on the one hand, I went down the mountain because of the situation, and on the other hand, I also wanted to know what the hell the child was doing, and by the way, see if this is really as she said about the fairyland. It's fake to be unimpressed, the environment is true, but it's human······ It turned out that everything was about money. I don't know why, but I have an uncomfortable feeling in my heart, as if there is a breath of air.

"You kid, you're really scheming. But when you took care of my wounds, did you see where I had any money? Shen Hao looked annoyed and said disdainfully.

looked at He Yan and found that she was staring at her clothes, and she felt funny in her heart.

"Did you save me because of my garment? Can't I steal this garment? Although he had doubts, he had sorted everything out in his heart.

He Yan was stunned, as if a thunderbolt smashed into her heart on a sunny day, stealing it? A thief looks like this? Such? God, what are you kidding me!!

When he saw her sluggish and desperate little face, the breath in his heart seemed to be gone, and he felt that the person in front of him was very cute, and his heart softened.

"Ahem, cough~~~ money, I'll pay you back in a few days, can I eat it?" He was already hungry.

"Uh······ Oh, yes, you can. He Yan looked happy and handed him the bowl.

"Xiao'er, I'll stay here for a few days, and then I'll leave, and I'll pay you back. Oh, wait a minute, I'm going to go out for a walk. You don't have to follow. Shen Hao said lightly, thinking about something else.

"Oh." He Yan replied lightly, who wants to follow you, I'll have something to do later. While Master hasn't come back yet, I'll recuperate for my sister first.

Shen Jing scooped a mouthful of porridge, the entrance was sweet and delicious, he had never eaten like this, this was really incredible.

"Xiao'er, why is this porridge so sweet?" Shen Hao couldn't hold back his curiosity.

He had always been the most curious, and he asked without thinking.

Why do you ask!? It's as rare as he is.

"Because you met me, hahaha." He Yan smiled happily.

"Uh······" The man's face was startled, and his ears were inadvertently dyed red.

He Yan seems to be addicted······

"I find you a little weird today." He Yan looked at him with a smile on her face.

"Why?" Shen Hao asked suspiciously.

"Because you're weird and good-looking." He Yan stared at him, her eyes were not flustered, and her heart was not beating.

The man felt strange everywhere, he was molested like this!? The key is that the man is still a man.

He Yan smiled heartlessly and said, "Tease you." See you in a trance, give you a pick-me-up. ”

Scared by you and almost out of mind, and still refreshed? Son, you're such an interesting person.

"Flamboyant, where did you learn these words, it's really frivolous, if you say such things to a woman, your reputation will definitely be ruined. Say less such things in the future. He looked at He Yan.

"Then it's good to tell the man about it, aren't you ready-made?" He Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"You, you kid, are so frivolous." Shen Hao looked embarrassed.

No way, this kid is so cunning, don't care, don't care.

The sun hung high overhead, looming in the faint clouds, but the whole sky was bright. A cool gust of wind blew, and the air seemed to carry a few traces of flowers and plants. In the soft sunlight, the tree seems to be dressed in golden makeup, adding a bit of life. Green leaves, tidbits, slightly lazy in the summer breeze.

In the distance, birds flew in and landed on the branches. They look down for food, they raise their heads and chirp, and they chase after them...... They are like energetic spirits that break the silence of the morning. On the path, children cheered and cheered, step by step, and the land seemed to be full of fresh footprints. The people who came and went to plant also seemed to relax and slow down.

Shen Hao followed the path, found a place where no one was, lit fireworks and launched a signal, which was transmitted to the distance······

Shen Hao, you can come quickly.

In the fire room, He Yan was busy mending her sister's body. She took out the ingredients ginger, green onions, and rice wine. She first removed the gills and scraped the scales of the fish, and then washed them with water. Then, stuff the sliced ginger and green onion into the belly of the fish and sprinkle some rice wine, because there is no cooking wine here, you can only put some rice wine to remove the fishy smell, although the taste is not as delicious as the previous one, but at least it is nutritious and full of collagen. Cut the fish three times with a knife on each side, put it in a pot, simmer over low heat, and wait for the fish to be broth.

remembered that he helped that big man Lin Qi last time, and he caught this fish and gave it away. I thought it was time for Master to come back too......
