Chapter Twenty-Three: The Whole Yam Feast

Sister-in-law Yang saw her intentions and said in surprise: "Yaoyao, you want to use this long root to cook?" ”

"This is not called long roots, this is called yams! It is a good thing that can be used in both medicine and food, sister-in-law Yang, don't look at it ugly, wait a minute to know how delicious it is! ”

Sister-in-law Yang looked at her suspiciously, as if she didn't believe much of her words.

After all, they are all from Crescent Village, and even she doesn't know that this thing can be eaten, so how did Lu Yuan know?

Besides, even the doctor in Yong'an Town said that he didn't know him, so how did Lu Yuan know that this was called a yam?

Not only was Sister-in-law Yang puzzled, but even Chu Ci and Zhao Ziyi, who were eavesdropping at the kitchen door, were extremely puzzled on their faces.

What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

Yam?

They had never heard of it.

But the road is far away, and the appearance of swearing seems to be true.

Zhao Ziyi glanced at Chu Ci, and the two went to the corner.

"Did you try to figure out what she was up to?" Zhao Ziyi asked in a low voice.

Chu Ci frowned slightly, and said quite suspiciously: "I have carefully checked her identity, it is indeed the child of the Lu family, and except for that incident, she has almost never left Crescent Village, the only change is that after she gave birth to a child, she knelt in the ice and snow all night, and after that, it seemed to be a different person." ”

Speaking of Lu Yuanyuan's kneel in the ice and snow all night, Chu Ci's expression became particularly distressed, it is said that it was the coldest time, she wore thin clothes, and knelt in the courtyard of the Lu family for a whole night.

"Her relatives are really ruthless!" Zhao Ziyi also frowned, "After going through those, it's not strange that you have changed your personality, people are good at being bullied, and no one dares to bully you only if you become powerful." ”

Chu Ci nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ziyi asked again: "Since her background is fine, what are you still hesitating about?" Why didn't you tell her about it? ”

"It's not time yet."

Chu Ci felt Lu Yuan's rejection and alienation from him, her seemingly approachable appearance, but in her heart she was very defensive of anyone, which showed that that incident hurt her a lot.

"Yam, cooking? It's a fresh way to eat it. ”

Zhao Ziyi and Chu Ci looked at each other, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

In the kitchen, Lu Yaoyuan was holding a rag or scraping the yam skin, and Sister-in-law Yang was watching from the side, wanting to help but was stopped by Lu Yaoyuan.

Yam is delicious, but many people will be allergic when making it, and no one eats this yam when they want to come to it, probably because of this.

The medical skills that should be used in this era should not be able to suppress allergies well.

was cutting the yam, and Sister-in-law Yang brought another cloth bag and poured out all the contents with a grunt.

"Yaoyao, this is all from your brother Yang in the mountains, he usually likes to get these strange things, you look at the things that you haven't used yet."

Lu Yuanyuan only glanced at it, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Bamboo, gastrodia, stone fungus......

It's all rare wild mountain treasures!

Oh, my God!

There are so many good things in this big black mountain!

Don't they know that they can eat it?

"If it's useless, I'll throw it away!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't speak, Sister-in-law Yang planned to take it away.

"Oops! Don't! ”

Lu Yaoyuan hurriedly held down Sister-in-law Yang's hand, picked a few bamboo flowers, and turned around to bring the hen brought by Sister-in-law Yang, and smiled at Sister-in-law Yang: "In the future, I will collect all these things that Brother Yang picks, and I will pick as much as I want." ”

Sister-in-law Yang was surprised: "Yaoyao, what are you doing with these things?" ”

"Keep it a secret for now! But soon you'll find out! ”

Lu Yaoyuan sold it first, because she was afraid that after she said it, Sister-in-law Yang would think of helping her let Brother Yang go directly to Hu Caitong, but a rare thing like gastrodia, if it is not picked well, it will not regenerate in the next year.

What's more, she only has this plan, and she needs to improve it slowly.

Let's not mention this for a while, Lu Yuanyuan sorted out these mountain treasures a little, and began to make a yam feast.

When Chu Ci came in, he saw her busy figure alone.

She was very thin, but her spine was stretched straight, and from here you could only see her small nose, cherry red lips and pointed chin, broken hair falling restlessly on the side of her face, the kitchen was a little hot, and a drop of sweat hung from top to bottom.

Lu Yuanyuan raised his hand to wipe it, closed his eyes slightly, and saw a handkerchief handed in front of him, stunned, turned his head to look, and saw Chu Ci looking at her with a smile.

"I ......"

The hands are greasy and greasy, and it is really difficult to take the veil.

But before she finished speaking, Chu Ci seemed to understand what this meant, and his other hand reached over, and with a hint of coolness, his fingers lifted her chin and gently wiped off the sweat for her.

This action is too intimate, just like the habit between old husbands and wives, when Chu Ci is done, Lu Yuanyuan's heartbeat is no longer irregular, and he looks at Chu Ci stupidly.

"Don't be too tired, if you need help, just scream, you and I don't have to be so polite."

A triumphant smile crossed Chu Ci's mouth, but he took the handkerchief back as if nothing had happened, and put it close to his body.

Teng, Lu Yuanyuan's face turned red, she opened her eyes, no longer looked at Chu Ci's deep eyes that seemed to be about to suck people, but there was a trace of doubt in her eyes, was it her illusion?

How does she feel that this man is always seducing herself?

"I ...... I'm fine, no need to help! ”

It's a pity that the incoherent words exposed her restless heart at this time.

Chu Ci's smile deepened, glanced at the kitchen, walked to the desk, where was the road far away to cut half a radish, busy in the pot before cutting it was finished, he picked up the knife, and asked, "Cut or slices?" ”

"Block!"

The distance from Chu Ci was widened, and the feeling of being about to suffocate disappeared immediately.

Lu Yuanyuan regained his composure, took out the steamed yam in the pot, and glanced at Chu Ci who was cutting radishes in the gap, and couldn't help but sigh, this man who can cook is really more charming.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that in this era, a man as rich as Chu Ci didn't shy away from the kitchen, but had such a good knife skill, which really surprised her.

Looking at those radish pieces of about the same size, Lu Yuanyuan can be completely sure that Chu Ci has obsessive-compulsive disorder!

Retracting his gaze, Lu Yuanyuan kneaded the mashed yam and purple sweet potato puree mixed together, and found a mold for making moon cakes, wrapped the bean paste and pressed it in, and soon the beautifully shaped purple potato and yam cakes were ready.

On the other side, Chu Ci's radish was cut, she took it, and poured it into the casserole next to her.

Sanzhen stewed chicken soup, fresh old hen, bamboo sunflower, yam and white radish, both healthy and full of umami, the soup is yellow and bright, Chu Ci on the side couldn't help swallowing saliva and said: "Ah Yuan, can I taste it?" ”

Lu Yuanyuan immediately closed the lid and said, "No! Not enough heat! ”

Chu Ci suddenly looked disappointed, staring at the casserole like a greedy cat, looking pitiful.

Lu Yuan couldn't bear it, looked down at the freshly made purple potato yam cake, twisted a piece and stuffed it into Chu Ci's mouth, "Eat this!" ”

Before he could withdraw his hand, he was grabbed by Chu Ci's wrist, he ate in small bites, his lips touched her fingertips from time to time, and his voice was low, "Well, it's delicious." ”

The flush that had just disappeared suddenly came up again.

Lu Yuanyuan twitched his hand, and found that Chu Ci's hand was like an iron tong, and he couldn't pull it out at all, so he could only endure the torment and wait for him to finish eating.

But Chu Ci seemed to be deliberate, a bite of the pastry that could be eaten, he was stunned for a long time, and then he couldn't let go of Lu Yuan's hand.

"Chu Ci! You've gone too far! ”

Lu Yuanyuan withdrew his hand and stared at Chu Ci angrily.

Once or twice, that's it!

Is he finished?

Although she is not a yellow flower girl, if it spreads, what will outsiders say about her?

She doesn't mind, what about Xiao Luan?

picked up the kitchen knife and cut the garlic, Lu Yuanyuan no longer looked at Chu Ci, and said flatly: "Chu Gongzi, if you want to play, you can find someone who can play, I am a woman with a child, and I don't have so much energy to talk to you!" ”

Immediately, she gritted her teeth and said, "Besides, although I have given birth to a child, I am not such a casual person, and I can't tolerate you being so cheap!" ”

"You saved my life, and I saved you, and it's offset!"

"Laterβ€”"

"In the future, if there is nothing else important, you don't want to come again!"

finally finished speaking, but there was no response in the middle of the sound, Lu Yuan turned around and looked, the kitchen was empty, where was Chu Ci's figure?

Immediately annoyed, this person said to go!

Have you listened to her at all?

I don't know why Lu Yuanyuan's heart became apprehensive.

He shouldn't be angry and just leave, right?

That's it!

It's okay to go! Save the upset!

Putting aside these messy thoughts and looking at the dishes that are gradually coming out of the pot, Lu Yuanyuan's eyes are full of hope, and he is looking forward to the days to come.

"It's time to eat!"

It was busy from mid-afternoon until dark, and the first all-yam feast was completed.

and sister-in-law Yang, Xiao Yuer put all the dishes on the table and put the dishes and chopsticks.

A feast made of yams is complete!

Zhao Ziyi has been eating delicacies from the mountains and seas since he was a child, and he likes food, and he has tasted any food in the world, but it is the first time he has heard of this whole yam feast, and he was just curious, but after seeing this table of delicacies, he moved his index fingers and said sincerely: "I can't imagine that you still have such good cooking skills!" ”

Sister-in-law Yang was also stunned, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Yuan was alone in the kitchen in the afternoon, she wouldn't believe that these were all made by Lu Yuanyuan.

This appearance is not inferior to those big restaurants.

Exquisite purple potato yam cake, bright and fragrant Sanzhen stewed chicken soup, shredded yam, fried yam with stone fungus...... One table, one ingredient, but all the means of cooking have been exhausted!

"It smells so good!" Xiao Yu'er was even more intoxicated, and regardless of the etiquette, she sat down directly at the table, "I'm dying of hunger!" ”

"Little Yu'er! The guests haven't even taken their seats yet! ”

Sister-in-law Yang said angrily.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled and said: "No one here is a guest, you are all welcome, just be your own home, sit down!" It's not good to eat when it's cold! ”

When she spoke, she couldn't help but glance inside and outside the shop, but she didn't see Chu Ci's figure.

His eyes couldn't help but darken, it seemed that he was really gone.

But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the gate.

Everyone was shocked, and Sister-in-law Yang got up, "Who is it?" I'm going to open the door. ”

"I'll go!"

Lu Yuanyuan immediately stood up and ran towards the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Chu Ci raise his hand and prepare to knock on the door.

"Where have you been?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yuanyuan immediately regretted it.

Sure enough, Chu Ci, who originally had a cold expression, suddenly swept like a spring breeze, the ice and snow melted, and he raised his other hand, which was two jars of wine.

He glanced into the room and said softly, "You've been busy all afternoon making so many delicious dishes, how can you do without wine?" ”

"You ......"

Lu Yuanyuan wanted to ask him if he had heard those words in the afternoon, but Chu Ci had already crossed her side and walked into the shop.

Looking at Chu Ci's back, Lu Yuanyuan thought that he would wait for another opportunity to ask!

Today is a good day for her to move, why make it so unpleasant?

Zhao Zi also saw Chu Ci coming back, holding two jars of wine in his hands, his face suddenly turned green, and he said bitterly: "You! Why did you bring both altars? ”

"Is it the same as cutting off your flesh by drinking your wine?"

Chu Ci didn't care, put the two jars of wine on the table, and shouted at Lu Yuan, who was still in a daze at the door: "Ah Yuan, are there more bowls in the kitchen?" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Yuanyuan came back to his senses, went into the kitchen and brought a wine bowl, looking at Zhao Ziyi's distressed appearance, he couldn't help but wonder, is there anything else about this wine?

Seeing that everyone at the table was staring at him, Chu Ci thought for a while and said: "It's just an ordinary daughter red, it's a little bit of money, he's just stingy, you don't care about him, let's eat!" ”

"It turned out to be my daughter Hong!"

Brother Yang is an honest man, he really believed it when he heard this, looked at the wine jar, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that my daughter is red, but I have never had the opportunity to drink it, today I am really stained with your light!" ”

They are all croppers, and they can save money when they eat on ordinary occasions, so how can they have spare money to drink and drink?

Lu Yuan didn't understand wine, so he didn't make any opinions, but seeing that Zhao Zi was also distressed like that, I'm afraid this wine is really not cheap.

If Zhao Ziyi knew her idea, he would definitely be moved, this wine is not cheap!

There are only two jars of wine in the world, and the saint has begged for it today, but he has never been willing to take it out, but Chu Ci is a good guy, in order to please the woman, he actually moved both altars for him!

He was not only distressed at this time, but even his internal organs were painful.

The wine jar was opened, and the sweet wine was poured into the wine bowl, except for Xiao Yu'er, who couldn't drink, everyone else raised the wine bowl and toasted Lu Yuanyuan, congratulating her on moving.

Zhao Ziyi is a person who can afford to put it down, the wine jar has been moved, he can't still stop others from drinking, plus he can speak well, and soon mingle with Boss Yang and them, there is a bowl of wine without a bowl of stomach, plus the cooking skills of the long distance, he is full of praise, and soon took the initiative to open another jar.

"Drink! Who doesn't drink today lie down! You are not allowed to leave the table! ”

After Zhao Ziyi finished speaking, he fell on Chu Ci's shoulder, and actually sobbed in a low voice, "Chu Ci, you bastard, my wine!" ”

Chu Ci pushed him away mercilessly, looked at Lu Yuanyuan, and smiled: "He's drunk." ”
