At this time, Zhou Rong walked in with the pheasant that had been processed, and when he saw the things in Hua Qingyan's hand, his perennially expressionless face rarely showed a trace of surprise! "Miss Qingyan recognizes this thorn ball?"

"Brother Zhou has seen it?" Hua Qingyan handed out the chestnut that had been peeled in her hand, revealing the milky white flesh, "This is called chestnut, also called chestnut, and it does have a layer of sharp and hard shell on the outside." However, the meat is powdery and glutinous, and the taste is very good. Presumably Brother Zhou has already tasted it. ”

Zhou Rong has indeed eaten, there are thorn balls everywhere in this mountain, and when they escaped with the Lord, they had eaten everything because of the lack of food and grass. This stinging ball is the most delicious of them all.

Mrs. Hu was curious about things like hedgehogs covered in thorns all over her body, and when she saw Hua Qingyan say this, she couldn't help asking, "Is it really so delicious?" How do you eat this thing? Isn't it raw and hard that you peel it off? ”

Before Hua Qingyan could speak, Zhou Rong had already grabbed a handful of chestnuts and threw them into the stove, and the bright red tongue of fire instantly engulfed the chestnuts. Hua Qingyan looked at his movements and smiled appreciatively: "Roasted chestnuts are indeed delicious, Brother Zhou really knows how to eat them!" However, for me, it is still more sugar-fried chestnuts, and the sweetness of chestnuts fried in sugar is stronger. Next time I have a chance to make it for you. ”

A few people chatted and chatted and were busy in the kitchen, and Hua Qingyan was preparing the evening meal with her hands and feet. Not only did Hua Qingyan's dishes not enter the pot, but a unique aroma spread in the kitchen, with a strong sweet fragrance! Everyone couldn't help but shrug their noses.

"What a smell, it's so fragrant!"

Hu Baizhi ran in three or two steps, and subconsciously looked into the pot, but found nothing. Behind her is also worry-free and Xi'er, although the two little ones are used to the tempting fragrance coming out of the house, but they can't help but look forward to it every time!

The two children wanted to go to the pot to see what Hu Baizhi looked like, but because they were too small, they couldn't see the stove even if they stood on tiptoe. Maybe it's too eager, and the whole little body is attached to the stove. This frightened Hua Qingyan, and hurriedly took the children aside one by one, and said, "Be careful, baby, look, there is fire here, it hurts if it's hot!" Whatever you want, I'll get it for you! ”

"Be fragrant, fragrant! Sweet! Xiao Wuwu tried to express his meaning, but because he didn't know what the fragrance was, he could only use the description he smelled, and he tried to wrinkle his little nose.

When Hua Qingyan heard the reason, she pointed to the stove that was burning brightly, "This is roasted chestnuts, you can eat them in a while, but it's very hot." Babies can't do it themselves! ”

The little ones nodded, and the obedient ones did not step forward, but the two pairs of big eyes were still staring at the stove closely, quite a bit of a nourishing eye.

"Yikes!"

Xiao Wuwu suddenly exclaimed, and everyone subconsciously turned around to see that Zhou Rong actually put his hand into the stove, and after a while, he took out all the hot chestnuts with his bare hands.

Everyone was terrified by his hand! Hu Baizhi hurriedly scooped a spoonful of water, grabbed his hand and put it into the water without saying a word, and the action was so fast that even Zhou Rong didn't react.

"What are you doing! I thought my hands were made of iron! It's so hot that you can't move! You think you practice iron sand palms, right? Zhou Rong's hands were as hot as patches over the stove, and when Hu Baizhi went to grab it, she felt that her hands were going to be burned, and after putting it in the water, there was actually a burst of white smoke, which made people frightened.

But Zhou Rong looked like he was nothing, his expression was as usual, but his pupils were slightly dilated when his hand touched a burst of softness. But that subtle expression didn't go unnoticed by anyone.

After about half a cup of tea, Hu Baizhi allowed Zhou Rong to take his hand out of the water, and she also deliberately checked it carefully, and found that Zhou Rong's hand did not have any traces of redness or burns. She raised her head and glared at Zhou Rong, "Rough man, I didn't have any injuries at all, I was worried about you in vain!" ”

Zhou Rong: "......" Zhou Rong, who was scolded inexplicably, always felt that he was wronged.

Because the kitchen of Hua Qingyan's house is really not big, and there are many people, it is a little difficult to turn around, Hua Qingyan drove Zhou Rong, the big man who occupied the space, out, but threw a chestnut into the fire again.

Zhou Rong didn't go far, just squatting at the kitchen door with the roasted chestnuts, and the two children followed him step by step, looking at the chestnuts in his hands that had been opened to reveal the yellow meat, constantly exuding a sweet smell, blinking, and it was full of desire.

Hua Qingyan noticed that the two little guys were a little cautious about Zhou Rong's attitude, and they wanted to get closer but were a little hesitant. Zhou Rong peeled two chestnuts and cooled them in the palm of his hand and handed them to them, they swallowed their saliva, but they didn't dare to step forward, and even looked back at Hua Qingyan, until Hua Qingyan nodded carefree, then carefully moved over, took the two chestnuts and ate one by himself, and stuffed one into Xi'er's mouth.

The clear eyes of the two little guys lit up instantly, and the floury and glutinous chestnuts were very in line with the taste of the children after they were roasted, and one chestnut was simply not enough to stuff the teeth. The little guy who was captured by the food had already let go of his previous restraints, quickly finished eating and swallowing what was in his mouth, and invariably stretched out his hand to Zhou Rong, "Uncle, it's delicious, I want it!" ”

Zhou Rong was taken aback by this title, and almost stood up and saluted. But soon he regained his composure, looked around with his peripheral vision, and was relieved to see that no one had noticed what he had just done, but the speed of the shell was faster.

For a while, all the chestnuts roasted by Zhou Rong entered the stomachs of the two children, and he didn't eat any of them himself, but was reduced to a humanoid tool for peeling the shell. Fortunately, Zhou Rong didn't care, and took out Hua Qingyan's roasted chestnuts again to continue his previous actions.

"I'm going to eat it too!"

Zhou Rong looked at the palm spread out in front of him and was slightly stunned, it was not at all as small and tender as a child, but white-skinned, with some thin calluses. Zhou Rong looked at the slender hand, and suddenly felt a little dry mouth, he subconsciously put a chestnut in the palm of his hand, but his fingertips accidentally touched a piece of softness. He hurriedly withdrew his hand, and his expressionless face gradually flushed.

Hu Baizhi threw the chestnuts into her mouth, and was also captured by the delicious food she had never eaten, and once again stretched out her hand, seeing that Zhou Rong was still in a daze, she couldn't help urging: "Hurry, all waiting to eat, little worry-free, hurry up and urge you Uncle Zhou!" Hu Baizhi, who was fascinated by the deliciousness, had completely forgotten that Zhou Rong was her sweetheart.

The interaction between the two was all seen by Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Hu, but the two ladies glanced at each other, but their hearts were clear but they didn't explain.

The main dish of dinner is chestnut stewed chicken, as soon as this dish is on the table, it amazes everyone except Hua Qingyan with its taste, and before Hua Qingyan finishes the dish, the chestnut stewed chicken has been robbed, fortunately, Xiao Wuwu feels sorry for his mother, and he left a chicken leg for Hua Qingyan, otherwise Hua Qingyan, as a chef, would not be able to taste the dishes he made.

Hua Qingyan took a bite of the chicken leg and instantly understood why this dish was so popular. Novelty is one of them, and the most important thing is that the raw materials are good. It is a pheasant, because it lives in the mountains all the year round, the meat is firm and tender, there is no earthy smell at all, but there is a fragrance of grass and trees, and the chestnut is also wild and wild. What's more, Hua Qingyan didn't put any other seasonings except salt, and it was completely the taste of nature.

In the twilight, the stars gradually shone in the night, and everyone who had eaten and drunk finally left Hua Qingyan's house, and there was still a little unfinished. Zhou Rong walked at the end, and as soon as he turned out of the north of the village, he saw a figure standing in the field of Hua Qingyan's house. After the man walked in, he turned around, and it was a face that was exactly the same as Zhou Rong!

Zhou Rong was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Lord, why did you come down the mountain at this time?" ”

The man stared at Zhou Rong for a long time, and only after a while did he say quietly: "It seems that you have eaten very much." His eyes moved down and landed somewhere on Zhou Rong's body.

Zhou Rong subconsciously covered his slightly bulging belly, and it was rare to show a trace of embarrassment.

The man didn't care, he sighed and said, "I don't know when I will have this blessing, your kid has returned to this mountain village, but he is getting more and more faceless and skinless!" ”

Zhou Rong: "...... Lord, this is obviously venting the resentment of not tasting delicious food on him!"

"You say, how about letting the girl open a restaurant?" The man looked at Zhou Rong and seemed to agree with his proposal very much, and his eyes were shining.

Zhou Rong hurriedly replied: "Lord, don't forget, Miss Qingyan now has a contract with Guanlanju, and she is the second owner of Guanlanju in Chaoyang Town. ”

"Tsk!" The man said regretfully, "I was actually preempted by Jin Nanshu, why didn't I find out that the girl still had such a talent before!" It must have been pampered by the family, and if I knew it, I would have let this girl suffer earlier. He didn't think that Zhou Rong would be able to answer himself, so he walked forward, and actually arrived at the gate of Hua Qingyan's courtyard.

Zhou Rong looked at the man's back and turned around silently to leave. He knew that he was going to disappear at this time, and if he was seen two Zhou Rong, he was afraid that it would be a little troublesome.

Hua Qingyan was calculating the things to buy at the town market tomorrow when she heard a sound of footsteps in the yard. She clearly remembered that the courtyard door had been closed, and she hadn't heard the courtyard door open just now!

There's a thief in the yard!

Such a thought flashed through her mind, and Hua Qingyan's body instantly tensed!

The man didn't seem to have any cover, walked straight to the door of Hua Qingyan's room, and even knocked politely.

The man didn't seem to have any intention of coming in, and after a while, a man's voice came: "Kind people, I'm here to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”
