Border Cook

Chapter 545 Sunflower

"How to say?"

"My husband hunts and fishes, and I sell food. With our division of labor and cooperation, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money. At least we will have enough food and clothing!"

When Xia Mingyue said this, her eyes were filled with bright light.

Lu Qiyan was stunned.

With his current achievements and Xia Mingyue's abilities, the two of them would definitely not be left without a way to make a living.

But then again, this kind of fantasy that does not conform to reality is often what people most desire in their hearts.

What Xia Mingyue probably hopes most is for him and her to live a simple and leisurely pastoral life, working from dawn to dusk and resting from dusk.

Then wait until he has dealt with all the matters!

Lu Qiyan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "My lady is right."

Seeing that her idea was approved by Lu Qiyan, Xia Mingyue also smiled.

They stayed in the orchard for a while, during which Lu Qiyan picked some fresh peaches, grapes, and fresh vegetables from the farm. When the western sky was covered with a fiery red sunset glow, the two of them took all the things and the fish that Lu Qiyan had forked, and took a carriage to Changzhou City.

Guo Kanglai brought his men to see the carriage off until it disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun, and then they went back.

Lu Qiyan did not take away all of the dozen or so fish on his fork. He left five or six behind, preparing to have them as a snack in the orchard and the farm in the evening.

Those fish were all big grass carp, and the wounds on each fish were smooth and flat, which showed that the person who did it was quick and efficient.

"Commander Lu is really skilled." Guo Kanglai couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, yes." Shuisheng and others echoed.

"If Commander Lu could come and help us spear the fish, it would definitely be faster and more convenient than catching them by ourselves!" Guo Kanglai continued to sigh.

Aquatic, "..."

You really dare to think!
The carriage moved forward, swaying unsteadily.

The evening is not as hot as noon, and there is a slight cool breeze. In addition, the setting sun and the rosy clouds in the sky are so beautiful that it is a great enjoyment.

Simply rolling up the curtains on both sides, Xia Mingyue stuck her head out to fully appreciate the beauty of the evening, and from time to time she pointed at things on the roadside and pulled Lu Qiyan to look.

Big bird nests on lush trees, curling smoke from cooking in the distance, small flowers blooming on the roadside, people working in the fields, children and dogs running along the ridges...

It seems that everything can arouse Xia Mingyue's interest, and Xia Mingyue always seems to be interested in everything.

Looking at Xia Mingyue, who was much more playful and lively than usual, Lu Qiyan felt relieved but also emotional.

Being able to act a little coquettishly in front of him, does it mean that the relationship between him and my wife has taken a step forward?
If the Xia Mingyue of the past was dignified and beautiful, like a lotus that could grow proudly in a muddy pond, the Xia Mingyue of this moment was a bit like a sunflower in the field, growing towards the sun, positive and enthusiastic.

I don’t know what kind of side of Xia Mingyue will show in front of him in the future.

The answer is probably very long and will take a lifetime to verify, but he is already fully prepared.

We left the orchard late, and by the time we returned to our residence in Changzhou City, it was completely dark.

After learning that Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan had not yet had dinner, Yin Qiao and Zhuang's mother hurried to the kitchen to prepare some food.

By the way, use the fresh ingredients they brought back.

Soon, the food was served on the table.

Tomato fish uses fresh tomatoes picked from the farm and the fish caught by Xia Mingyue. The tomato soup is thick, and the fish meat is sliced ​​with the most tender part of the fish meat after removing the main bones. It tastes fresh and tender, with a strong flavor and sweet and sour taste. Chili scrambled eggs, the chili meat in the farm is thin and has a strong flavor. Cut it into wider strips and stir-fry until it is soft enough. Pour the beaten egg liquid on top. The egg and chili are fully integrated, and it tastes spicy and full of egg flavor, which is very delicious.

The tender shoots on the pumpkin vines are picked off, blanched in boiling water and then stir-fried. They have a mellow flavor that other vegetables don't have, with a strong aftertaste and a rich fragrance that is comparable to eating meat...

A few home-cooked dishes, light and delicious, very enjoyable to eat.

Xia Mingyue burped contentedly and planned to feed Wu Jin after dinner as usual, and take the opportunity to rub its soft, fleshy and hairy head.

But when she arrived at Wu Jin's nest, there was no sign of Wu Jin.

Xia Mingyue was stunned.

Suddenly she remembered that when she and Lu Qiyan came back together just now, Wu Jin, who was usually very enthusiastic, was not there to greet them...

"Where is Wu Jin?" Xia Mingyue asked Yin Qiao.

"He went to Doctor Yin's house in the afternoon and never came back." Yin Qiao replied, "During dinner, Mao Sanli brought two pieces of braised meat home, saying that he wanted to feed Wu Jin. He must be still at Doctor Yin's house now."

"Like this." Xia Mingyue responded, moved a chair over and stepped on it.

From this height, you can just see the courtyard of Yinling You’s family next door.

Xia Mingyue looked around in the moonlight and saw Wu Jin in the yard, catching summer insects or moths attracted by the candlelight.

It is large in size and brings the wind with it when it runs. The nimble summer insects and moths feel the violent flow of air and try to avoid it.

Therefore, Wu Jin's "hunting" action was not very effective, but this did not affect Wu Jin at all. Instead, it made him more interested.

Xia Mingyue couldn't help laughing as she looked at Wu Jin, who was becoming more courageous as the battle went on.

Wu Jin, who was having a lot of fun, also heard the noise. When he turned around and saw Xia Mingyue's head popping out from the top of the courtyard wall, he first widened his eyes, then a hint of resentment gradually rose in his eyes. Finally, he exhaled heavily through his nostrils and turned his big furry head to the side.

I just remembered it now!

Seeing that Wu Jin was obviously a little angry, Xia Mingyue couldn't help but touch her nose.

He was sick a few days ago, and these days Lu Qiyan has been accompanying him to play and have fun everywhere. It has indeed been a while since I have spent enough time with Wu Jin.

Ordinary pets need more companionship from humans to avoid loneliness, let alone a domestic dog like Wu Jin who is extremely human-like and smart?
It is understandable that you feel unhappy and lose your temper.

Xia Mingyue immediately smiled and raised her hand to call Wu Jin, "Wu Jin, do you want to eat some watermelon and peaches? I brought back some watermelon and peaches from the orchard. They are so sweet!"

Who cares!
Wu Jin still looked at Xia Mingyue with the back of his head.

"How about I make you some braised pork buns tomorrow?"

Don't care!
Ugin licked his paw.

"So, braised pork?"

Ah……

Xia Mingyue, "..."

This Wu Jin has a very bad temper!

However, he is my own Wu Jin, and I was the one who provoked him, so I still have to coax him!

Xia Mingyue subconsciously rolled up her sleeves, ready to use all her strength, but Lu Qiyan, who was standing beside her, also quietly poked his head out from the top of the wall.
