Chapter 174 Nangong Xi Cooks

She never knew that he would do these things.

Seeing that he didn't intend to stop, Zhu Zixin had no choice but to say:
"Actually, it's nothing to make do with a night or two."

Her voice was very low. Nangong Xi was busy looking at the bamboo at that time, so she didn't care, and asked, "What did you say?"

"..."

"I said, I'm going to cook."

Zhu Zixin said as he walked towards the kitchen.She didn't want to admit that when she saw Nangong Xi's hand just now, she felt a little guilty in her heart.

She is a woman who is not easily moved, but it is not that she has no feelings at all.

Therefore, when I saw the other side of Nangongxi in the past few days, my heart was still touched.

"You...can also cook?"

Nangongxi's voice came from behind, and Zhu Zixin paused.

Then, she scratched her head subconsciously. In fact, in the 21st century, cooking is not difficult for her. Fast food and the like. However, in this era, she doesn't even know how to use an earthen stove. Cooking is really not an easy job for her.Take the medicine brewing last night as an example, she did not light the fire after making it for a long time.

"Let me do it. I see you are hungry too. After eating, it's not too late for me to make this again."

Nangong Xi said as she put down the things in her hands and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhu Zixin followed behind him and said, "Let me help you."

Nangong Xi turned her head in surprise, showing a doting expression and said, "You'd better go and rest!"

"But your injury?"

Zhu Zixin was always worried that his body would be overwhelmed.

"It's okay! More exercise will help my wound heal!"

Nangong Xi said.

After that, he added:

"I'm afraid we will have to stay here for a few more days, because people passing by just now said that the mountains ahead are blocked by heavy snow, and it is impossible to walk across."

"Ah! How long are you going to live in?"

Zhu Zixin was startled and asked.

"I don't know either, just wait for the snowflakes."

Nangongxi replied with a calm face, Zhu Zixin was surprised that he was not in a hurry.

"Since you don't want to rest, let's cook together." Nan Gongxi pulled her away without saying a word, and walked towards the kitchen.

There was a fish in the kitchen, a piece of grass was tied to the fish's mouth, its mouth was still moving, and it was still alive.It should have been caught in the morning.

"Did you catch this fish?"

Zhu Zixin was stunned and couldn't help asking.

"Well, it's very simple. When the water freezes, poke a hole with something, and you can easily catch one."

Nangong Xi said it very easily.

Zhu Zixin raised her head, she wanted to see if she was dreaming, and if this person in front of her was the crown prince?
However, the reality told her that this person was really Nangong Xi.

However, seeing that it was only Chen Shi, how early should he have gotten up?What's more, the injury on his waist is not healed yet!
Not only that, he lived in the same room as himself, but she didn't know it at all!It can be seen how deadly she slept last night.

"Oh, you go wash it and scrape off the fish scales."

Seeing her in a daze, Nangong Xi ordered.

Zhu Zixin took the fish into the water and washed it, squatting on the ground to scrape the fish scales, the fish suddenly moved and threw the water off her face, "Ah" Zhu Zixin was startled, shaking his hands, Throwing the fish to the ground, she hastily wiped the water off her face with her sleeve.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...you are actually scared sometimes, but a mere fish scares you like this! I don't know if you are pretending to be so fearless in the past!" Nangong Xi laughed and left Come over, pick up the fish from the ground, and throw it on the ground with a snap. The fish twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

Only then did Nangong Xi say: "In this way, it won't move anymore."

Zhu Zixin looked at him a little unconvinced, and without speaking, he took the fish in his hand angrily and began to scrape the scales.

"What, are you angry?"

Seeing that her complexion seemed unwell, Nangong Xi asked.

Zhu Zixin kept a cold face and just ignored him.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Xi laughed again: "Haha... Zixin, you look even cuter when you're angry!"

Zhu Zixin couldn't help but pause when he heard this sentence.

What else can she say when she meets this kind of person?

Throwing the fish away, Zhu Zixin ignored him and walked out the door.

At present, Colin is basking in the sun in the corner, and the old woman is also sitting under the eaves, mending something.

Seeing her coming, the old woman greeted her and said:
"Girl, come sit down!"

"Ugh!"

Zhu Zixin agreed, walked over, sat on a small stool beside him, and asked

"Grandma, do you live here alone? Where are your relatives?"

"What relatives are not relatives, the old man went a few days ago!"

Unexpectedly, the old woman said.

The tone was extremely calm, but there were still tears in the chaotic eyes.

"Then... your son, daughter, what about them?"

Zhu Zixin asked cautiously again.

"Dead, all dead! My three poor children all died before me!"

The old woman said again.

It turned out that she had three children, and they all died before her.

Zhu Zixin couldn't bear to ask any more, because she knew what kind of bloody story was hidden behind these understatement words, and she didn't want to reveal the scars of the old woman.

Turning around, seeing Colin lazily holding his sword against the wall and closing his eyes, Zhu Zixin called out:
"Colin, can you make a bed? Make that bed with me, will you?"

Opening his eyes, he glanced lazily at the half-made bed. Colin stood up, walked over, and made it up very quickly.

Zhu Zaixin was overjoyed when she saw this, she walked over and said, "I didn't expect you to be a carpenter, this is not bad!"

It turned out that one could tell from Colin's movements that he was quite knowledgeable about carpentry.

Colin, however, ignored her.

Zhu Zixin was bored, and naturally understood why Colin was angry, so he said with a smile:

"I'll have something delicious later, I'll treat it as a reward for you!"

"Do not care!"

Colin rolled his eyes and said.

"..."

Zhu Zixin was speechless, but some, children always need to be coaxed more, so he stretched out his hand again and said:

"Then I will help you!"

"Go...to the side!"

Unexpectedly, Colin did a better job this time, and knocked Zhu Zixin's hand aside. Zhu Zixin didn't pay attention, and suddenly hit the wooden wedge, and immediately broke the skin of his finger, and the blood soon seeped When he came out, the red blood dripped on the snow, which looked shocking.

"ah!"

Seeing that he had actually injured Zhu Zixin, Colin pulled her hand nervously and started blowing.

Seeing his child's behavior, Zhu Zixin couldn't help feeling amused.She took out a veil from her bosom with her left hand and handed it to him. Colin bandaged her wound silently, then, like a child who did something wrong, he bowed his head and said:

"sorry!"

"It's ok!"

Seeing that he had admitted his mistake, Zhu Zixin hastily responded.

After finishing speaking, she looked into Colin's eyes and deliberately made funny faces to tease him. Colin finally couldn't help laughing with a "poof...".His dark skin and white teeth looked striking.

"dinner's ready!"

At this time, Nangong Xi's voice sounded behind them, and the two looked back,

I saw a small wooden table in the yard with a few small dishes on it.

There are steamed fish, fried mushrooms, fried wild vegetables, and a plate of steamed sweet potatoes.

So rich!Zhu Zixin was stunned.

Nangongxi was setting the bowls and chopsticks there, and when she saw Zhu Zixin, she greeted, "Hurry up and eat, it's cold, and I'll make the bed later, the food won't taste good when it's cold."

Zhu Zixin walked over, but he was thinking in his heart that sweet potatoes and wild vegetables were easy to dig, and mushrooms were easy to pick, but he didn't know how Nangongxi caught these fish.

Thanks to him being a pampered prince, he can still do these things, which really impresses Zhu Zixin.

"Grandma, come to eat!"

Nan Gongxi helped Zhu Zixin to sit on the chair, and shouted at the old woman's room.

After a while, the old lady stood up from the chair and walked over. She was shocked when she saw so many delicious foods.

Asked: "You cook all these dishes?"

Nangong Xi smiled at the old woman warmly, nodded and said.

"I never thought a man could cook! It's not easy! Girl, you are lucky!"

The old woman sat down tremblingly with a face full of approval.

Colin was still standing in front of the bamboo bed, motionless, with an embarrassed expression.

Nangong Xi knew that he was embarrassed, so she took the initiative to say:

"Colin, come and eat!"

Seeing Nangongxi calling him, Colin couldn't continue to drag him, so he nodded hastily and walked over.

See Colin sat down.Nangongxi and Zhu Zixin looked at each other and Nangongxi said, "Then eat."

After speaking, he picked up the bowl on the table and started eating.

Zhu Zixin was also hungry, so let's talk about it when he's full.

However, she just took a bite, and she couldn't help looking at the plate of fried mushrooms in surprise for a long time. How delicious these mushrooms are, they are too delicious.

Zhu Zixin felt that this was the most delicious mushroom she had ever eaten in her life.

I don't know if it's because the mushroom itself is fragrant, or because Nan Gongxi's craftsmanship is good.

Seeing her staring at the plate of mushrooms, Nangong Xi couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?"

Seeing him asking, Zhu Zixin didn't speak, but just buried her head in her mouth and began to eat hard.

Seeing that she only ate mushrooms, Nangong Xi couldn't help smiling, and put some fish in her bowl.Said: "Don't just eat vegetables, but also eat some fish, you are still weak, you need to supplement more."

Zhu Zixin put those fish into his mouth, and couldn't help admiring in his heart again, it seems that it's not that the ingredients are good, but that the people who cook these dishes are good at their skills.

"This dish is really delicious!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zixin didn't praise, but the old lady praised.

"Then mother-in-law, eat more!"

Hearing this, Nangong Xi hurriedly put some fish into her mother-in-law's bowl.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Zixin hiccupped contentedly, thinking that this kind of life seemed not bad.

Since I'm trapped here and can't leave, why don't I go outside to enjoy the snow scene. I don't know how Nan Gongxi dug up the wild vegetables. Shouldn't the wild vegetables at this time be buried by the snow?
