Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 388 Tall and Capable Hunter vs. Lucky Beauty (23)

Shen Shuyi decided to make a pot of braised pork belly and a plum juice to relieve the dryness of autumn.

While the rice was steaming, she first stir-fried the scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then added the pork belly and stir-fried it until it was browned. She added a little sugar to enhance the sweetness, and stir-fried it until golden brown before adding hot water to submerge the pork belly.

The rice was ready, and the pork belly was starting to reduce the sauce, filling the entire kitchen with the aroma of meat.

Opening the pot lid reveals golden, translucent pork belly bubbling inside, making one's mouth water.

After the plum juice was cooked, she kept it in a bamboo basket hanging in the well to chill it. It tasted pretty good when she brought it up the mountain.

She was worried that Chu Yi would be hungry in the afternoon, so she made a few scallion pancakes.

Shen Shuyi packed the rice and dishes separately into ceramic bowls, wrapped them in cloth, put them in a bamboo basket, and then carried the bamboo basket up the mountain to deliver the food to Chu Yi.

The journey was relatively easy, as they had cleared away obstacles to repair the irrigation canal.

It was mealtime, and there were many women like her who went up the mountain to deliver food.

As Shen Shuyi passed by carrying food, the aroma of meat wafted out, and the woman next to her immediately felt her stomach rumble.

Someone asked her, "What delicious food did you send to your Chu Yi?"

Shen Shuyi knew that most of the meals delivered to her home were sweet potato porridge with little meat, and she didn't want to stand out, so she just dealt with it.

Even though others rarely get to eat meat, they can't smell it, and they all sigh that having a hunter husband is really great.

After she walked a few steps away, someone couldn't help but mutter something.

"Look at Shen Shuyi's rosy complexion. She's married to a hunter and is living a good life. She even has meat to eat."

"Don't be envious. She has meat to eat now, her house has been renovated, and I heard that both of her children have been sent to school for early childhood education. But when Chu Yi encounters the tiger on the mountain, she will be a widow at a young age. Are you still envious?"

"Sigh, forget it. It's too dangerous to run up the mountain every day. I'd rather the whole family eat wild vegetables."

When Shen Shuyi arrived at the place where the irrigation ditch was being dug, there were already quite a few people sitting on the treetops eating food that their families had brought.

Some families served steamed buns and pickled vegetables, others served sweet potato porridge, and a few families served proper meals.

Shen Shuyi saw Chu Yi from afar and walked over, "Husband!"

"I've brought you your food."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi suddenly turned around, saw her, and led her to a large tree. "What are you doing out in such a bright sun? I brought some steamed buns, you don't need to come and bring me food."

At this moment, people resting nearby also looked over.

Chu Yi stood in front of her, blocking everyone's view, and then pulled her to sit down in the shade of a tree.

"Steamed buns aren't filling, and they're cold and not tasty either." Shen Shuyi took out a lunchbox. "I made braised pork today, it smells really good, you should try it."

Chu Yi took the bowl and chopsticks and said with concern, "Shuyi, don't come tomorrow. I'll bring some dry food. Your face is all sunburned."

"How can that be? My husband, you're not eating well and you're doing such heavy work. What if your health collapses? I don't want to be serving you at such a young age!"

Chu Yi choked and had no choice but to eat first. He opened the lunchbox and found it full of braised pork, glistening with oil and red, and the aroma of the pork mixed with rice was irresistible.

He swallowed hard, then stopped talking and buried his head in his food.

The tender and flavorful pork belly, paired with fragrant broth and rice, made Chu Yi feel that he would be willing to do any amount of work.

If there weren't other people around, he really wanted to hug his wife and give her a big kiss.

My darling wife is feeding him so well!
Suddenly, a slender, fair wrist appeared before him, followed by a fragrant handkerchief that gently wiped away the sweat from his forehead.

Chu Yi's heart suddenly softened.

Since marrying Shuyi, his heart has been completely captivated by her warmth and tenderness. Shen Shuyi playfully scolded him, "Why are you eating so fast? Slow down, I brought you some plum juice to cleanse your palate."

[Congratulations, host! Your target, Chu Yi, has reached 99% affection for you!]
Chu Yi looked up at Shen Shuyi and saw her smiling at him with her eyes crinkling, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her gaze sparkling, making him want to kiss her even more.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his ears turned bright red. "Okay, okay."

He gulped down a large mouthful of plum juice, then coughed, choking on it.

Shen Shuyi glared at him, "How old are you that you still choke on water?"

Even so, she still reached out to pat Chu Yi's back.

All of this felt like a dream to Chu Yi. Only in dreams would a fairy descend to earth.
After finishing his meal, Chu Yi stood up and said to her, "I'll take you home."

Shen Shuyi refused, "No, you'll just run back again later."

"I'll just go back with the others. It's broad daylight, and there are so many people on the road. What are you worried about?"

Chu Yi had no choice but to watch her turn and leave.

After the food delivery person left, the village chief told everyone to hurry up and dig the irrigation ditch.

Chu Yi, with a stern face, picked up the hoe and got to work.

When he raised the hoe, his arm muscles bulged and his veins throbbed; he looked incredibly strong.

Some unreliable men in the village were jealous of him.

"Hey, Chu Yi, the food your wife brought you smells delicious. We can smell the meat from far away."

"You are so lucky to have married such a beautiful girl who can cook so well."

They just couldn't understand how Chu Yi, who wasn't a real man, could marry a girl from the Shen family. Even though she had been married before, she was so beautiful. Even if she had been married before, she shouldn't have been given away to Chu Yi, a hunter.

Chu Yi ignored what those people were saying and just focused on his work. He just wanted to finish the job and go back to hug his wife.

As Shen Shuyi walked home, she thought about how the wild fruits on the mountain would ripen in autumn. Once the irrigation ditch was repaired, she and Chu Yi could go up the mountain to pick wild fruits. If they couldn't finish them, they could dry them and eat them while drinking tea around the stove in winter.

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard people talking behind her.

"I told you not to envy her. So what if she eats meat every day? She might get bitten to death by a tiger on the mountain one day!"

"Besides, he's just a eunuch, so what?"

"What is it?" Shen Shuyi walked straight up to the gossipy woman. "You can say whatever you want to me to my face. Don't gossip behind my back."

"I don't want anyone to talk about my husband. He's an extremely brave and careful man to have survived all these years in the mountains where wild beasts roam. I admire him more than anything. But you unrelated people keep making irrelevant comments. What are your intentions?"

Seeing her cold, sharp eyes, the gossipy woman was about to step forward and pull her hair when the person next to her quickly pulled her back.

"No, don't go! Have you forgotten about the Li family? Last time, we got into big trouble because we gossiped about them!"

"Yes, yes, this is mysterious, let's go."

Shen Shuyi scolded the person before going home, and then she started stewing the black-boned chicken.

The addition of a little ginseng to this stew makes the chicken soup even more flavorful, with a hint of sweetness.

She thought that once the chicken soup was cooked until the meat was tender and falling off the bone, Chu Yi should be home.

Unexpectedly, the system was the first to send a message.

[Host, Chu Yi got into a fight!]
