I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 53 Stepping on Shadows

Xie Fei didn't want to reveal her identity, especially since she was wearing men's clothing. If something went wrong in the future and it was discovered, it would be troublesome.

So neither she nor Fu Yu used their real names, nor did they tell the shopkeeper their address.

"No need, we can just come and pick it up." Xie Fei paid the deposit, and then took Fu Yu shopping and bought some daily necessities.

Fu Yu missed the roast goose, so she took Xie Fei's arm and said, "Girl, let's go buy some geese. Let's buy two this time. Third Brother Yuan will eat one, and we'll eat one."

Xie Fei thought that Yuan San had been tired recently and was injured, so it would be good for him to replenish his body.

"Look at you, you only know how to eat every day, even a greedy cat is not as greedy as you."

Fu Yu counted on his fingers and said, "I'm not just busy eating. I also have to cut grass for the pigs, dig wild vegetables, feed the pigs, chickens and rabbits, and help you pound and dry the medicine..."

"Alright, alright, let's go buy some roast goose." Xie Fei didn't want to listen to this little girl's nonsense anymore.

There were many people in front of the roast goose shop, so Xie Fei asked Fu Yu to queue up while he went to the next door to buy cakes.

The pastries here are also good, such as mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, and sesame butter cake. Occasionally when you are busy and hungry, you can eat a piece to fill your stomach.

Xie Fei waited in line for a long time. When it was her turn, she stared at the various cakes in the bamboo basket and said, "Give me twenty yuan for each."

The guy selling cakes was stunned for a moment, "Miss, we have at least ten kinds of cakes here, are you sure you want every one?"

"If it's not hot today, the pastries can be kept for a while, so just pack them up for me." Xie Fei was thinking of bringing them into the mountains for Yuan San to eat.

The man has nothing else to eat in the mountains. If he gets hungry in the middle of the night, will he eat mud?

The waiter packed the pastries and gave Xie Fei a lower price.

When I went back to the roast goose shop, it was Fu Yu's turn. I bought two, took the dipping sauce, and went to the village together.

When the two of them were out, Yuan San was bored and had no one to talk to, so he squatted beside the rabbit cage, sometimes grabbing the rabbit's hind legs and dragging it backwards, and sometimes holding the rabbit's front feet and doing juggling dances.

Xie Fei clearly saw the words "life is meaningless" written in the rabbit's red eyes.

"Bighead, if you have nothing to do, go to sleep in the house. Don't scare the rabbit to death." Xie Fei was still hoping that the male and female would mate and give birth to more rabbits.

Yuan San smelled the aroma of roast goose and said with a smile: "Miss, did you buy roast goose? Did you ask the store owner for more dipping sauce? His dipping sauce is the most delicious."

Xie Fei said: "Yours is indispensable."

Going to the kitchen, she first took out the cakes and roast goose.

Yuan San walked in and took a look, then said, "Did you buy too much?"

"I'll bring it to you in the mountains to eat." Xie Fei put the roast goose in a wooden basin and pressed a brick on it.

She didn't know when Yuan San appeared and stood behind her. When she turned around, she suddenly fell into Yuan San's arms.

"Ouch." Xie Fei's nose was hurt by the muscular chest, and he muttered unhappily: "Are you hoarding all this muscle to eat?"

Yuan San was not annoyed, and said with a good-tempered smile: "It's the fault of the Xie family that they didn't give the girl enough food and clothes, so she grew up..."

He gestured at Xie Fei's height and smiled jokingly.

"I'm not short, it's you who is too tall. You should have some idea of ​​this." Xie Fei pushed him away and took out a piece of lard from the basket.

This oil can be refined into lard, which is more fragrant than rapeseed oil. It is nutritious and convenient whether used with rice or noodles.

She also wanted to refine another jar and bring it into the mountains for Yuan San to eat. He didn't need too much, just enough for ten days or so. He could come back after he finished burning the charcoal.

She was extremely busy, and Yuan San followed behind her. His tall figure was like a majestic and steady mountain, very oppressive from above.

Xie Fei didn't notice his actions, he added a handful of firewood to the stove, and went to the iron pot to prepare lard, but he smelled a smell of pig manure. This earthen stove has four pots, two of which are large tin pots, which are used for cooking and boiling water.

There is also a very small pot. You can scoop some water into it and it will be heated by the flames. You can use it to wash your hands in winter.

The largest one is an iron pan, which is used for stir-frying, stewing meat, making pancakes, etc.

Because it was big enough, Xie Fei used it to cook pig manure. However, after cooking the manure, a smell of sweet potatoes and green vegetables remained in the iron pot no matter how he scrubbed it.

"Big Head, when your hands are better, go outside and build a stove to cook pig food."

After Xie Fei gave his instructions, he did not hear any response from Yuan San.

She looked back and saw Yuan San was chasing after her shadow, like a child stepping in a puddle on a rainy day, who would hold back his laughter when he stepped on it and feel discouraged when he didn't.

"...Aren't you bored?"

Yuan San looked up at her, with a smile in his eyes, "It's never boring to be with a girl."

Xie Fei paused, raised the spatula and gestured to him, "Go play outside, girls, I'll make you a delicious meal."

"Okay." Yuan San took the order and left.

The dinner was indeed sumptuous, with mushroom, tofu and egg soup, pan-fried fish, glutinous rice and red bean paste pancakes, stir-fried meat with black fungus, meat stewed with potatoes, a dish of candied sweet potatoes, and several seasonal vegetarian dishes.

As dishes were served on the stone table, Fu Yu was so happy that she cheered and went to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Yuan San also sat on the stone bench and looked at the rich dishes on the table. He sighed and said, "I understand why the girl likes to live on the farm."

Xie Fei poured him a bowl of osmanthus wine and said, "As long as we have money, life won't be difficult."

If there is no money, it is hard to say.

After Fu Yu came back with the bowls and chopsticks, the three of them started eating together.

Compared to the two women, Yuan San had a much bigger appetite and most of the dishes on the table went into his stomach.

As long as he is around, there is basically no leftovers.

But it's true, these muscles and strength are not obtained in vain.

After dinner, Fu Yu washed the dishes. Yuan San played with the wild rabbit for a while, then carried the basket of food that Xie Fei had prepared for him and went back to the mountain to watch the fire in the charcoal kiln.

It was getting dark. Xie Fei lit a tung oil lamp and saw a sky full of watery stars.

In this area of ​​the farm, the starry sky is always the most beautiful. As long as the sky is clear, there are always stars at night.

When he first arrived, he would sit in the yard at night to enjoy the cool air. The Milky Way was right above his head, shining brightly, which made Xie Fei obsessed.

Fu Yu finished washing the dishes, wiped her hands on her apron, and came out and said, "Miss, tomorrow Madam Liu is going to Baiyun Temple to add incense money for Lady Shui. Do you want to go?"

Xie Fei's mind moved, "Isn't Shui Niang going to give birth soon?"

Fu Yu took off her apron and hung it on the wall, then skipped over and sat down next to Xie Fei.

"Yes, so Mama Liu is going to pay her respects to the Goddess of Birth and the Queen Mother. Girl, let's go pay our respects as well."

Xie Fei said with a smile: "What should I worship? Worship the Jade Emperor and ask him to bless me to become an immortal?"

Fu Yu said seriously, "You should worship the God of Wealth! The God of Wealth in Baiyun Temple is the most powerful. What if you come out after you worship and find some banknotes?"

"If that were the case, the door of the Temple of the God of Wealth would have been broken down long ago." Xie Fei knocked on Fu Yu's head.
