Before leaving, Su Jinyao borrowed some kitchen utensils from Chunniu, although they may not be able to be used, but they are better than those that are not available when they are about to be used.

Chunniu wrapped Su Jinyao well, so as not to make it inconvenient for her, and asked, "Do you need me to send you all the way?" ”

"No, it's nothing." Su Jinyao lifted the duck and prepared to go out as soon as she carried the things. But when he got to the door, he turned around and said, "I'll bring you roast duck when you go down the mountain in the evening, if you're not at home, I'll hang it directly at the door of this courtyard." ”

Chunniu hurriedly said, "Didn't I just eat at your house yesterday, what kind of roast duck will I send today?" Take it home and eat it. ”

"It's not three, and our family can't eat that much. Besides, it's not necessarily whether it's good or not, you can help me try the dishes, don't waste it if it's delicious or not. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she went out, and it seemed that she had to send roast duck.

Chunniu sent it to the door and told her to walk slowly and pay attention to safety. After turning around and cleaning up, I went to the small water shop.

Su Jinyao came to the cave that belonged to her, put her things down and began to marinate the duck. The duck's belly is stuffed with a secret seasoning, and then the outside is smeared with seasoning and salt, and then wrapped in a steaming cloth and set aside to let the duck absorb the flavor.

Su Jinyao, who pickled the duck, didn't have anything to do, so she still went around to collect firewood. The firewood of the fruit wood collected two large bundles and carried them back before the hot oven began. When the furnace is hot inside and out, the temperature is about the same.

As soon as he took out the duck and was filling the duck's belly, he heard Gu Xuebin's voice sounding outside the cave, "What are you doing?" Is the duck belly watered sufficiently? That's a fool. ”

Su Jinyao didn't look up, ignored him, and still did her job.

Gu Xuebin walked closer, holding a few iron hooks in his hand, and touched the "jingle" sound, and said to Su Jinyao, "Look, the iron hooks are sent to you, is the time just right?" ”

Su Jinyao glanced up at him and said, "Didn't you say that you should not come." Is there any reaction to taking medicine in the past two days? Today is the last dose of medicine, and then it's time to take the new prescription, and remember that if there is anything wrong, you must tell me, even if it is the middle of the night. ”

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's not the time to get sick, it's no different from a normal person." After speaking, he took the duck that Su Jinyao had just filled with a belly of water, hooked the duck's neck with an iron hook, and said, "You haven't said why you want to fill the water?" ”

"Didn't you say it, add weight? I'm just a profiteer and a peddler, doing all these things. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she poured water on the other duck.

Gu Xuebin smiled, "I don't believe it, I just said it casually." Let me think about it...... Are you afraid that the duck will not be cooked on the inside and too burnt on the outside? I poured a stomach full of water, and when the furnace temperature was high, the water was steamed in the duck's belly, and the flavor of the seasoning also penetrated into the duck meat, and the heat was just right

Well, it's really charred on the outside and tender on the inside. ”

After listening to him, Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, "You are smart." However, some people just can't pierce this layer of window paper, so the ducks they make always owe a little heat. ”

"You're going to use this trick to steal the business of the cyclamen house?" Gu Xuebin couldn't help but look surprised. You must know that the name of the cyclamen house is loud in the capital, but the ducks that are baked every day are counted, because only Zhao Dadong's family has the recipe in his hand, and the roasting method is mastered by Zhao Dadong's family alone.

The Zhao family's roast duck craft has been passed down for several generations, but not even a single apprentice has been confiscated, and there is no branch in the whole country, and the roast duck craft is only passed on to one person, just to preserve this preciousness.

But now Su Jinyao is bold enough to make roast duck, and she intends to grab the business of cyclamen, this is not a matter of craftsmanship, this is a real courage and brain.

Seeing Gu Xuebin's surprised expression, Su Jinyao pouted and said, "I have never intended to be a cook, so robbing business or something is just an introduction, and there is still a good show in the future." ”

"Jin Yao, what are you thinking in your head?" Gu Xuebin suddenly felt that Su Jinyao in front of him was a little strange, but it was more of an incomprehensible temptation. She is like a book, and you have to study it page by page to understand it. And every time I read one more, I have more fascination, which makes people want to deeply appreciate the mystery.

Now Gu Xuebin feels that he has set himself on Su Jinyao's book, and if he doesn't turn to the last page, he won't let go of his death.

Su Jinyao only said four words: "Borrow chickens to lay eggs." ”

Gu Xuebin was stunned and smiled. is as smart as her, how can she be able to comment on it in one or two sentences? Maybe her idea is more daring, and she can't think about it at all. He didn't ask anymore, but he felt that the surprises he kept thinking of were not as profound as the feelings Su Jinyao gave him. So he just crouched down beside her and asked, "Is there anything else I can do to help?" ”

"Just hang these ducks in the oven for me, and nothing else. Add some firewood once in a while, adjust the heat, and concentrate on waiting for it to eat. Su Jinyao handed the last duck with water in her stomach to Gu Xuebin, and didn't forget to tell her, "Be careful, don't burn your hands again." ”

"Got it, I won't be that stupid all the time." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he removed the stones and hung the roast ducks one by one. This time I'm more careful, of course my hands are fine. Then he closed the lid, returned to Su Jinyao and asked her, "Then what are you doing now?" Are we just waiting? Wouldn't it be too boring. ”

"Or else?" Su Jinyao glared at him and said, "I told you not to come, but you are always disobedient." It's boring to come, I don't have the time to play with you. "Who wants you to play with me, I'm not a child. It's you, who didn't go to the mountains to pick flowers at a young age, didn't go to the flowers to flutter butterflies, and studied these things all day long, and made money

It's more, and your young days are gone. Gu Xuebin said, and said with a distressed face, "I just want you to live a happy life, and it's best not to think about anything." ”

"Then you really want to raise pigs. If you just lack a vase, there are many good-looking girls; If you have one less playmate, the little girl in our village also loves to flutter butterflies; I just can't be idle, and I don't want to spend a lot of time all day to work so hard. Su Jinyao turned to the right color and said very seriously.

She is indeed not a person who can be idle. Occasionally taking a day off, she enjoys the feeling of comfort and tranquility, but even when she doesn't have to do things, she thinks about the next step, and her mind is always spinning.

But if Gu Xuebin doesn't like this kind of himself, he just wants to find a real ancient lady, likes her to spend her days idle every day and plays when she is full, and likes her to be beautiful only thinking about how to dress up, then he is really not suitable for him.

Su Jinyao knows the importance of ideals better than anyone else, and she also understands how terrible it is to be inconsistent with her lover's ideas. Now they are very warm and happy together, because they have not tasted love, and the pure beauty of first love covers up all the impracticality. But if Gu Xuebin is really a traditional man in his bones, and he doesn't like to show up and fight for his life, then their relationship will not go far.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao's heart was slightly sour, and a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes. She never thought that her first love would come so unexpectedly, and it would be so warm and sweet. But the reality is in front of him, he can give a couple for a lifetime, but the equality of men and women, and the hard work of women, can he also accept it?

Su Jinyao was slightly distracted, and Gu Xuebin turned his head to look at her. At that moment, the gloom and lonely thoughts in Su Jinyao's eyes, he understood it at once. It was as if a hand was pinching the tip of his heart, as if there was a wall separating them.

Gu Xuebin rushed over, hugged Su Jinyao into his arms, pressed her brain on his chest with his big hand, and said softly, "Silly girl, I understand what you are thinking." I'm not trying to discipline you, I'm not trying to restrict you, I'm just really sorry for you. If you say I care too much, then I'm willing to let go of your hand and let you do what you like. But I can't let myself not worry about you, but I ask you if you're okay or tired. Don't put on a 'I'm going to run away if I want to keep you on a leash', and don't think about leaving me because I don't have freedom. If you tell me to put it all away, and ignore you, then I can't do it. ”

Su Jinyao leaned on Gu Xuebin's arms, his arms were thin but powerful, his sternum was hard, and his heart was beating vigorously and steadily, all of which showed his nervousness and concern at this time.

Su Jinyao sighed, raised her head and said seriously, "I have to say, you are really smart, you can see my every move clearly, and you can guess my every thought." I like your kindness to me, and I accept your kindness and concern. But too much

I really don't dare to restrain me, if you can't do it, just let it go. ”

"I can tolerate anything other than marrying someone else or not liking me like another man. It's not to endure, it's to accept, there's no need to endure, I accept all of you with joy. It's just that I like you to be special and pester you, but the bottom line is here, you should always give me a guarantee. Gu Xuebin smoothed Su Jinyao's hair, and his voice was full of affection.

"My people are in your arms, what more guarantee do you need? It's not good to be too greedy. Su Jinyao glared at Gu Xuebin and couldn't help laughing.

There's no way not to be emotional, because he knows himself too well. Such men are sometimes too scary, and sometimes they are too heartwarming. Fortunately, this man is the one who treats himself wholeheartedly, so that she doesn't need to be fortified, just accept it with peace of mind.

Thinking about it again, I probably can't meet someone more able to make my heart more excited than him in such ancient times.

"Silly girl, don't run away, tell me the slightest thought. I accept it and am willing to face it with you, but I don't want you to leave me out. Gu Xuebin took a deep breath, for fear that Su Jinyao would run away, and hugged her a little tighter.

Su Jinyao pushed him and said with a smile, "I'm going to be strangled by you." I've never been a hypocritical person, but you love to say sour things so much. In the future, we will all be honest and treat each other well. ”

"Okay." Gu Xuebin also smiled, and the panic in his heart was swept away. He believes in Su Jinyao's honesty and directness, such a woman has brains, but she will not be scheming, as long as you are good to her, she will sincerely repay your affection, which is enough.

"Okay, isn't it hot to hold? I'll go check the heat, and I'll wrap one for you in a while. Thank you uncle for helping me clean up the roe deer, it's really good to tidy up, and it saves me a lot of trouble. Su Jinyao pushed Gu Xuebin away, blushing and went to the edge of the oven to add firewood.

Gu Xuebin also followed, and said, "When my uncle skinned the roe deer, he also said that these two stones were hit very accurately, and the angle and strength of the choice were not ordinary. And the knife cut on the throat is even more accurate and ruthless, judging from the neatness of the hand, he is definitely a habitual knife. ”

After speaking, Gu Xuebin looked at Su Jinyao, hooked his lips and smiled, "It seems that the honesty between us seems to be a little bit worse." It seems that there is always something that cannot be explained to be hidden. ”

Of course, Su Jinyao understood what Gu Xuebin meant, his identity was the same secret as her crossing. But both of them tacitly ignored it. If you dig deeper, it won't be good for anyone.

When the roast duck was cooked, Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao sat opposite each other shoulder to shoulder, occasionally saying a few irrelevant words, which were plain and warm. And both of them are smart people, neither of them touches each other's bottom line, and they don't have the habit of getting to the bottom of things, but they get along very calmly and comfortably.

Someone always spends time with you

Quickly, the aroma of roast duck came out of the oven, Su Jinyao took a deep breath, and said, "It smells like that, if the taste is similar, it will be enough." ”

Gu Xuebin said, "If it tastes similar to that pheasant, I can guarantee that many people would rather spend more money on your roast duck than go to the cyclamen." Jin Yao, your cooking skills are really not simple. Gu Xuebin's words made Su Jinyao smile and be noncommittal. She said that it is the head that makes money in business, not craftsmanship. In fact, just with her roast duck skill, she can make half of the cyclamen's business prosperous, but that is a technical job, not an economic operation, and she is not very interested.

Su Jinyao went over to remove the firewood under the oven and let the residual temperature simmer the duck again, and then lifted the stone lid on it, and after letting it heat for a while, she took out the iron hook hanging on the duck with a rag.

I saw that the duck had been roasted to a honey brown color, and the oil was moist and fragrant. Judging from the color alone, it has a lot more appearance than the roast duck in the cyclamen.

The smell is almost the same, this Su Jinyao didn't care too much. After all, there are so many kinds of ingredients, and she can't fully grasp which ones are a few grams more or a few grams less. Moreover, the secret recipe of cyclamen is not passed on, and she can only make the ingredients for roast duck online with taste and memory.

Gu Xuebin was surprised and said, "This duck is really good." To be honest, it's better than that pheasant, and it smells better than the roe deer legs. ”

Su Jinyao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said confidently, "Of course, I don't know this method, you are lucky, you have seen the whole process." But if you dare to tell me......" Su Jinyao gestured to wipe her neck, which was regarded as a threat.

Gu Xuebin deliberately shrunk his neck and said, "You are really powerful, no one dares to ask for such a cruel daughter-in-law except me." However, since you have let me know the secret recipe, then we are a family, otherwise we may really leak out. ”

"Hmph." Su Jinyao pursed her lips and glared at him. Then he commanded, "Go pick the leaves, wash them, and bring them back to wrap the roast duck." ”

"Okay." Gu Xuebin immediately agreed to pick a large number of leaves. When I came back after a while, I also brought a few red wild berries with me.

The berries are also washed and held up with a green leaf, which looks bright and beautiful. Su Jinyao took it and ate one, but frowned suddenly. Sour, too sour!

"Haha, silly girl, my heart is also bad, once in a while to trick you, you will be fooled." Gu Xuebin actually laughed.

Su Jinyao was so angry that she threw the leaves wrapped in berries at him along with the berries, but unfortunately she almost missed it, allowing Gu Xuebin to dodge it.

Su Jinyao bent down to pick up the stone again, but as soon as she picked up a piece and got up to smash it, Gu Xuebin suddenly jumped over, hooked Su Jinyao's neck, pressed her lips tightly to her lips, and then used the tip of his tongue to her

With a slight sweep of her lips, she opened her lips and snatched inward.

Su Jinyao's mind was empty, and she unconsciously "hummed", and Gu Xuebin's kiss swept away all the sourness in her mouth, leaving a trace of sweet aftertaste, but let go of her at the moment when Su Jinyao was about to become addicted.

Because of the kiss just now, Su Jinyao's head was blank for a moment; But Gu Xuebin quickly left when the two were about to kiss deeply, which only made Su Jinyao feel that her heart was beating wildly, but she was unwilling to hang a wisp of aftertaste.

"Silly girl, I don't dare to get too close to you. Still waiting for you to grow up. Gu Xuebin's big hand gently brushed Su Jinyao's hair, his fingertips ran along her cheeks and touched her lips, carefully delineating the small and delicate outline on her lips, sighed and took a step back.

Su Jinyao's heart hung with his fingertips, and then fell, and then he realized that Gu Xuebin's distance turned out to be for the line of defense between the two. To be honest, not being lost is fake, it is the first time that Su Jinyao is so eager for a man. But their hearts are full of gratitude, because they still need time to grow.

Su Jinyao took the initiative to grab Gu Xuebin's hand, pressed his hand on her face, and rubbed it gently. His fingers were slender and jointed, and they were a little stiff; There are also thin calluses on the fingertips and palms, which are numb and crispy when rubbed on the face. But she just liked the feeling, the heat coming from the palm of his hand when he held his face, as if it was directly close to his heart.
