Nongmen fierce wife, this king depends on you

Chapter 56 She Doesn't Like To Waste 1
"Are you all right?"

Xia Mujin was a little dizzy, just now she ran out in anger, who made Shen Muhan take off his clothes in front of her, and the injuries on his body were real, and they were serious, even though the knife wounds were treated with medicine, but Blood oozes out, and it hurts just looking at it. I feel guilty for falling like this just now because of her. I didn't plan to make dinner at first, but now I have to.

So, feeling that it was almost time, he stood outside the door and asked.

"Okay, Hibiscus girl, come in."

Ming Yi was the first to react, turned his head and glanced at Xia Mujin, said respectfully, and then walked out of the room silently.

Xia Mujin nodded slightly at him and walked in.

First of all, he glanced at the person on the bed, and saw that he had changed his clothes, but it was still a white thin shirt with gauze wrapped around his arms, and through the thin shirt, it could be seen that other injured places were also wrapped in gauze.

"Well... don't wrap it too thickly with gauze. The weather is hot to avoid inflammation, and change the dressing frequently. Don't touch cold water." After hesitating, she still reminded her.

Hearing this, Shen Muhan's eyes lit up, and those bright black eyes were staring at her closely.

Xia Mujin's scalp was numb from being stared at, and she thought about the business, so she said again: "Well... can you go out first? I'm going to cook, and I'm afraid the smoke will be heavy and smoke you."

Hearing this, Shen Muhan smiled, and the light that bloomed in his eyes was like the brightest star in the night, and it was that kind of extremely soft smile, and in an instant, he just said: "It's okay, I've already gotten used to it."

Ga?
Xia Mujin was speechless, seeing that he was dressed like a man from a wealthy family, and he was tall, with a perfect body, and his gestures were full of extravagance, but at this moment, she said such things to her, could she believe it?

However, she didn't want to be troublesome, after all, he was her family's benefactor, and she had a previous experience. First, she bumped into him, and then made him fall and hurt her wound. Among other things, the most basic way of hospitality It still needs to be reflected that the only reward for this remote village is to feed them.

Since he won't leave, she can't force him to leave either.

After thinking about it, he went straight to the stove and took some dry branches and leaves to start a fire.

Maybe it was rained yesterday, and I have been sweating since I woke up, and it was cold and hot. At this moment, the whole person was also dizzy. He came over, lightly took the torch in her hand, and casually grabbed a handful of dry branches and leaves, glanced at her, and said, "Let me do it!"

Xia Mujin looked at him for a long time, feeling like a dream. After a long time, she realized that her hand was grabbed by him with the fire, her face flushed, she said thank you softly, and withdrew her hand, Then he turned around and went to wash the rice.

Shen Muhan looked at her blushing face, and the corners of her mouth curved nicely again.

Because there were two more big men, she washed two extra portions of rice, and it was a large portion. If the rice was cooked, it would be a large bamboo tube rice, enough for a mature man to eat.

After washing the rice, I started to wash the pot, poured clean water, and put the bamboo tubes in the pot to cook.

During this period of time, she would bring some fresh pork ribs or pork ribs every day when she went to the town. The day before yesterday, there was a large lump of pork ribs left. Since she came back late the night before, the ribs had been scorched with hot water. It was very fresh. She cut some lean meat and a few slices of ginger and put it in, and washed some fresh mushrooms. After the rice was cooked, she washed the pan and boiled the pork ribs. delicious.

There was still dried Pipi vegetables at home, so she took some and soaked them in water, then took out a bonito about two catties from the bucket, took a knife and a bowl, and went out to kill the fish.

Ever since she started to wash the rice, Shen Muhan's gaze never left her. Looking at her skillful technique, every moment when she bowed her head seriously, her heart fluttered. How did you get here.

Last time, I couldn't find a chance to get close to her, and I didn't know that her family was so poor, and there were so many injured, but she was the only one who had to bear it.

He was a soldier who fought in wars, and he has also encountered harsher environments than this. He lived and died with his brothers, licking blood from the knife edge, even if he could not eat a grain of rice for more than ten days, he never felt how bitter it was. You can see For such a thin and strong woman, his heart trembled and stabbed faintly.

Xia Mujin peeled the fish, and seeing Mingyi standing at one end watching the ants move, she said a little embarrassedly: "That..."

"Just call him Mingyi."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Muhan's low and mellow voice came from behind, Ming Yi immediately stood up straight, looked at Xia Mujin with a humble face, as if waiting for her to give orders.

Xia Mujin smiled at him, and said, "Can I trouble you to kill that pheasant for me?"

Following Xia Mujin's fingers, Ming Yi saw a three-jin pheasant and a fat hare squatting in the corner of the eaves, so he said cheerfully: "Okay!"

As he said that, he stepped forward in a few strides, grabbed the pheasant, reached out to take the knife in Xia Mujin's hand and stood aside.

Xia Mujin also entered the house with the peeled fish and the bowl containing the offal.

But as soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The house is already filled with thick smoke, and the cooking steam is sandwiched between it, making the whole place hazy. If it is not for the choking feeling, one would think that one has entered the Damiao Mountain, which is full of thick fog this morning.

"The fire is burning well, how can there be such a big smoke!"

Shen Muhan was squatting in front of the stove at the moment, fanning his nose with his palm while lowering his head to blow into the stove, and sometimes looked up at the thick smoke that filled the room, frowning but said helplessly.

Xia Mujin suppressed her laughter, put the things in her hands away, walked over, took a thick and long branch and fiddled with it in the stove, the fire became hot in an instant, even the smoke was much less .

Turning his head, he saw Shen Muhan stretching his neck to look into the stove. He looked like a curious baby. Seeing Xia Mujin turning his head, his eyes were a little unnatural, so he grabbed some firewood and added it, but Xia Mujin gave him a hand. blocked.

"The stove will be full if you add more firewood, and the smoke will become heavier when there is no gap. Even if you add more firewood, the temperature will not go up. The rice can be cooked, but it doesn't have that aroma."

Shen Muhan was embarrassing, he didn't know that there were so many details about burning a fire, and was about to change the topic, but Xia Mujin smiled and wiped his face with his sleeve.

"Hehe, it's still too dark, just wash it with water later."

Perhaps because he lowered his head to blow on the fire just now, some plant ash flew out and stuck to his face. It was only a small bit at first, but now Xia Mujin rubbed it, and the whole thing opened up. Chen's handsome face was so thick and dark, and Xia Mujin knew that she had caused trouble, so she extremely resisted the urge to burst into laughter, withdrew her hands, said something while shaking her shoulders, then got up and went to work.

Shen Muhan didn't think it was difficult. Although he had experienced a lot, he had never squatted by the stove to burn a fire, and he didn't know how wonderful his face was at this moment. Seeing Xia Mujin get up, he also reached out to wipe his face and continued to light the fire. .

Ming Yi killed the pheasant at this moment and brought it in. Xia Mujin brought the small wooden bucket over, which contained the hot water left over from the cooking just now. Fortunately, the weather is hot and it is not easy to cool down, so it is just right to put the pheasant into the bucket at this moment. hot.

"Ms. Hibiscus, I'll do it, you go and do other things."

Seeing that she was picking up her sleeve to pluck the chicken feathers, Ming quickly brought the bucket over and suggested.

He is still good at this. They spend a lot of time outdoors, and often hunt some game to satisfy their hunger, and he basically takes care of the work of killing, cleaning and plucking hair. The injury made him study with Mrs. Tang for a few years, but in the end he only learned superficially, and the master became a teacher, which is quite ashamed to say.

"Okay, then trouble you!"

Xia Mujin wiped the sweat from her forehead, but she didn't refuse Mingyi's kindness. Seeing him walking out with the bucket, she went to work by the stove. Seeing that the pork ribs were almost cooked, she gave the mushrooms she had prepared to him. Put it in, cover the pot and continue cooking.

During the cooking break, she went outside to pick some perilla leaves. Wild perilla grows in front of this house all year round. In previous years, it was left to fend for itself, but it is of great use to her.

Just for a moment, the whole room was staring at the strong smell of mushrooms. After washing the basil, Xia Mujin filled out the bone broth in a big basin. There is nothing in this soup.

Next, she started to make bonito soup. In fact, there was a grass carp in the bucket, which weighed more than three catties, but the bonito healed the wound well, so she chose to make bonito. She soaked hot pepper and beans in vinegar, But the acid is mainly restrained, and it will leave scars on the wound, so she abandoned all these, just turned the bonito in hot oil a few times and added it to boil. When it is ripe, put some perilla leaves in it.

Adding perilla leaves has no effect on the wounded, but if she drinks a bowl of hot fish soup and sweats to dissipate the cold in the rain, she may not feel dizzy anymore. After all, perilla leaves are mainly used for detoxification, sweating and regulating qi. Adding an egg is still a folk remedy for a cold.

As for the ground vegetables, she also stir-fries them, but during the frying process, she still cuts a sour pepper into it, otherwise the taste is too bland, and it may not be pleasant to eat.

In the end, she brought out some capers and chopped up the offal of the pheasant. This was the only side dish today.

After doing all these things, Ming Yi went to pick three lotus leaves. The Miao Mountain is beautiful, and there is a lotus pond on the opposite side of the river. However, it seems that people in this era don’t know how to eat lotus root, they just watch its flowers. , but the pond was too deep, and she was not sure that she could dig the lotus root back.

Taking advantage of Ming Yi going to pick the lotus leaves, she marinated the pheasant with ingredients, and Ming Yi came back after spending half a stick of incense. Xia Mujin took the fresh lotus leaves and put them in the boiling pot It was scalded, and then the pheasant was wrapped in lotus leaves, and finally wrapped in a thick layer of soil, and then a rack was set up at the door of the house and it was directly roasted.
