Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 988
Xiaotao raises her head and raises her eyebrows at Hongyi, not to mention how proud she is of her small appearance.

Hong Yi also smiled, with a handsome face and a sincere smile.

With the tacit understanding for the first time, the two cooperated better next time.

The fish basket hanging on Hongyi's waist was quickly filled with at least twenty fish, big and small.

Seeing that it was almost time, Fatty called them home on the shore.

Meng Yangshu and the monkey also went to collect some prey earlier, and now they are all hung around their waists, and some are carried behind their backs.

Hongyi held the basket on his waist in one hand, and the bamboo basket in Xiaotao's hand in the other, "I'll take these things, you go first!"

Xiao Taoluo's hands were empty, and it was not easy to be polite to him standing in the stream, so she smiled and jumped ashore lightly.

The way back was very lively.

Monkey and Big Fatty walked in the front, singing folk songs, saying that they were singing, but in fact it was almost like roaring.

Meng Yangshu walked side by side with Xiaotao, he turned his head to see Xiaotao's way of walking, crooked, jumping up and down, singing along with the monkeys from time to time.

He deliberately walked slowly, side by side with Hongyi, looking at the things hanging on Hongyi's shoulders and in his hands, he teased with a strange expression: "Why don't you help me carry things, and give me all your prey, Am I not tired?"

Hong Yi smiled, "Isn't he a guest? He's different from us."

Meng Yangshu snorted, "It's best like this."

In the cold winter evening, because of their noise, the small village seemed to be alive.

Several people parted ways at the entrance of the village. No one else wanted the fish that Hongyi had caught. They only took the prey they had received and left.

Hongyi didn't ask for anything, he took the fish basket and Xiaotao and went back.

Opening the door, one can see Ji Langzhong sitting there under the dim eaves, as if waiting for them to come back.

When Xiaotao saw the master sitting here, she hurried over, "Master, why don't you stay indoors, it's so cold outside!"

Hong Yi put down the fish basket, and said: "It's because we came back late, which made you worry. It's quite cold outside. Let Xiao Tao help you into the house. I'll cook right away. Let's drink fish soup tonight."

Ji Langzhong smiled, and stood up with Xiaotao's hand supporting him, "I just lay in the room for a long time, so I came out for a walk, it seems that you have gained a lot."

"It's not just a big harvest, it's a big harvest. You see, we picked a lot of herbs, and a few precious herbs. These fish and game are all thanks to Brother Hong. I said that Brother Hong is capable. Look, It's true." Xiaotao admires Hongyi quite a bit, this man knows how to live and is good at living, just like what her master said, any woman who marries him will live a good life.

Hong Yi lowered his head shyly, but fortunately the sky was getting dark and he couldn't see much, "We have such a small population and there are many good things in the mountains, so as long as we work hard and work hard, we won't be hungry, but luck is good today. But it caught so many fish."

After he finished speaking, he went into the house and went into a big wooden basin. He poured water from the well in the yard into the basin, then poured all the fish in the bamboo basket into it, and picked out a few that were not very energetic. Good evening cook.

Xiaotiao helped Ji Langzhong into the house, felt the kang was still hot, took off his shoes for him, and helped him onto the kang, "Master, I will pick those herbs tomorrow, so you can rest well today, and don't worry about it." Don’t worry about favors, didn’t you say it all? We treat people in the village, and I found that there are a lot of herbs around here. Use it to dig, so that you can give free heart medicine to the villagers."

Ji Langzhong sighed: "Master can't help you, you have to go out on your own for the herbal medicine, but you have to learn more about the method of feeling the pulse, and you will use it in the future."

Xiaotao dragged the small table on the kang, and put on the padded jacket for him, "I know, master, I will definitely study hard, don't worry about it so much now, when you feel better tomorrow, go to the village, I will go Let's see if brother Hong wants to help, oh yes, we even caught a live rabbit, it's in the yard, I hope it doesn't run away."

She smiled, shook her arms, pushed the door and went out.

But Ji Langzhong looked at the kang he was sitting on. He had to sleep on a kang for the past few nights!I hope that Hong Yi won't have any weird hobbies, such as sleeping with his pants off...

Xiaotao came out of the house, watched the happy fish swimming in the basin, went into the kitchen again, and squatted down to tease the little rabbit huddled in the straw pile, it was injured now, even if it was not tied up, it could not escape.

Hong Yi is really capable. Not long after they came back, he had lit the fire, scraped and washed a few fish, and rushed to the small vegetable garden to pull the onions. The fish had already been stewed in the pot.

It was bubbling and bubbling, and at the same time, the fresh fragrance of the fish filled the entire kitchen.

Xiaotao dragged a small mat and sat on the side, watching him busy in an orderly manner.

Hong Yi noticed it from the moment she walked in. Seeing her staring at him, he paused with the hand holding the spoon, turned his head to look at her, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you starving, don't you?" Hurry, it will be ready soon, there are corn tortillas in the pot, if you are hungry, eat one first."

Xiaotao twitched her chin with one hand, and scratched the soft fur of the little rabbit with the other hand, still staring at him with smiling eyes, "No, I'm not starving, I'm just thinking, if any woman marries you in the future, she'll be Happy forever!"

Hongyi paused again, and then returned to normal, "I'm not as good as you said, and being able to cook is not a good thing. The monkeys all said that this is not good, it will make people look down on you, and you will lose a man's face." Even though he said that, there was no shame on his face.

Xiaotao snorted, "Listen to their nonsense, they are jealous of you, because they don't know how to cook, see how busy you are, and know how to love others, but unfortunately I..."

She wanted to say that it was a pity that I was a man, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that something was wrong, what a pity, no matter how unfortunate it was, it was impossible for her to change from a woman to a man.

"What a pity?" Hong Yi suddenly put down the hook, looked at her and asked.

Xiaotao rolled her eyes, "It's a pity that we have no fate, otherwise I was born in the same family and I have a big brother like you, so I wouldn't die happily."

Hong Yi smiled, "It's a pity, you are my younger brother now, as long as you stay, I will always take care of you, and in the future... I will marry you in the future."

Xiaotao really wanted to burst out laughing, she couldn't imagine what it would be like if Hongyi really married her and brought back a baby girl herself.

Seeing her smile, Hong Yi thought she didn't believe him, he was anxious, "Don't laugh, what I said is true, the first time I saw you, I felt very kind, anyway, I am also a person, Master Ji's body It's not good, you might consider staying."

He really didn't want Xiao Tao to go out and wander around anymore, especially after hearing what she said about picking herbs today.

He knew best how harsh the conditions in the mountains were, but with Xiaotao's thin body, he was really worried about encountering a beast, so he would swallow it in one gulp.

Xiao Tao really considered his proposal, "Brother Hong, people like us are destined to have no roots, whether we can stay or how long we can stay is not up to me, everything depends on God's will, as far as it is , does not mean that we will not leave in the warm spring next year, so you must not bother us!"

Hong Yi smiled slowly, "Why would I bother you, if you can stay, this year's Chinese New Year will be lively."

For some reason, Xiaotao couldn't show her arrogant temper when she was in front of Hongyi, and even her voice became softer.

Dinner was ready very quickly, and it took less than half an hour before and after, so Hongyi was really not ordinary capable.

The three of them were very impressed by the hot and delicious fish soup that they could drink at night.

Ji Langzhong also kept praising Hongyi for his good cooking skills, and how simple fish soup can be made so delicious.

Seeing that they were happy to eat, Hongyi was also happy, and thought about going to the town to buy a jar of wine tomorrow.

He won't be eating alone in the future, so he should buy something.

A pot of fish soup was eaten up, and Xiao Tao was not idle, insisting on rushing to wash the dishes, this time Hong Yi couldn't grab her, so she let her go.

He was not idle while Xiaotao was washing the dishes, and went to fetch water to wash up for Ji Langzhong.

When he went to the kitchen with the basin in his hand, he saw Xiaotao roll up his sleeves and stand beside the pot washing the dishes, a feeling of warmth rose in his heart.It turns out that this is home, not a cold house.

After Xiaotao cleaned up the kitchen, she went to the house to see the master. Seeing that the old man had already fallen asleep, she blew on the oil lamp and came out.

Lamp oil is very expensive, although she doesn't care, but she doesn't want Hongyi to spend it.

Hongyi tidied up the yard. It was already dark outside, with a little light, he saw Xiaotao walking out, and asked suspiciously: "Why did you come out? Don't you go to wash and go to bed?"

Xiaotao was going to the latrine, and she held back for a long time. She was delayed and couldn't go. It will be dark and she will be free.

Seeing him asking, she didn't feel embarrassed to say anything. People need to eat and drink, and of course they have to go to the toilet. Go to the latrine."

"Oh, you don't need to go outside. There is a urinal in the room next door. I cleaned it very clean and it can be used," Hong Yi didn't think much about it.

Xiaotao laughed dryly, "I'm not used to that, I'd better go to the latrine outside!" No matter how nervous she was, she would never want to use a man's urinal.

"I'll accompany you, it's very dark outside, don't go wrong," Hong Yi didn't wait for her to refuse, he went to the gate, pulled the bolt that was already inserted, and looked back to see that she was still standing there, "Why? Won't you leave? Don't worry, the hut is also very clean, not dirty at all."

Of course, Xiaotao is not worried about dirty work. Although she is disguised as a man, although she can peek at men taking a bath, she can look at their naked buttocks, even if she sits in the same pool as Xuanyuan Heng in the hot spring villa to take a bath, she is just the face Slightly reddish.

But if she were to pee in a hut guarded by a man, would she still be able to pee out?

"That...or you can just stand here, I'll go by myself, I can really go by myself," Xiaotao walked to his side and ran out quickly.
