Culinary Specialization through Farming

There are occasional mountain winds blowing in the quiet mountains and forests, and the drizzle has just stopped, and there is still a hint of coolness in the air.

At this moment, only Ye Weiping and Qian Bao were left on the mountain.

The ghost papers in his hand were engulfed by flames one by one, Qian Bao burned the ghost papers numbly in a trance, and he didn't regain his senses until he accidentally burned his fingers.

"Be careful."

Seeing that he was scalded, Ye Weiping checked his fingers nervously.Fortunately, the heat was not serious, only the fingertips were slightly red.Instead, it was some small scars on the palm that made Ye Weiping startled in surprise.

"What's the matter with your hand?"

He checked and found that Qian Bao had small scars on both palms.These small scars are not left from daily work, but rather like being cut by some sharp tools.

Hearing his questioning tone, Qian Bao withdrew his hands and hid them behind his back, only shaking his head and not speaking.

Seeing his dodging gaze and not daring to look directly at him, Ye Weiping just sighed and didn't ask any more questions.He straightened up again, and before he could speak, Qian Bao stood up in a panic and took Ye Weiping's hand.

Because of the panic, the legs that had been kneeling for a long time were numb and unable to stand, and fell into Ye Weiping's arms all of a sudden.

The embrace of an adult man is firm and strong, and Qian Bao is completely wrapped in his embrace, making his already petite body even weaker.He put his hands on the opponent's chest, and his bent and outstretched hands did not dare to grab Ye Weiping's clothes.The ten fingers stretched out and slightly bent, only daring to touch each other lightly with the palm.

In a half-reliant posture, Qian Bao smelled a faint herbal fragrance from Ye Weiping's body, which was very pleasant.

Ye Weiping helped him to stand firm: "Don't get up so hastily after kneeling for a long time, if I'm not here, you're going to fall to the ground."

Qian Bao stood up straight with a blushing face, but lowered his head and dared not look at him.

Ye Weiping could only see his whirling, knew his temperament, and didn't care that he ignored him.Seeing that the ghost papers were basically burnt out, he said again: "Go back when you're done."

Qian Bao just nodded, and Fu took out another wooden sign from his pocket.There are three villains carved on the sign, he is illiterate, he just carved such a rough wooden sign according to his imagination, it was used to comfort his deceased father and he stayed up all night to carve it.

The carving skills are not good enough, and the three villains are crooked and not good-looking.

Ye Weiping was a little surprised, but understood.

The wooden plaque was placed in front of the tombstone, some soil was dug up, and Qian Bao buried it in the soil.

He watched Qian Bao stood up cautiously and reluctantly, and stretched out his hand.Qian Bao hesitated for a moment, looked up at Ye Weiping with a calm face, and then at the generous hand stretched out in front of him.

It was a pair of man's hands much bigger than his, with slender fingers and thick palms, which were much more beautiful than his slender hands.

When he put his hand on it, he subconsciously curled up again, but before he thought about it, he was held.Qian Bao suddenly felt at ease when his little hand was locked in a big one.The temperature of the palm passed over, giving him a temporary support for his tired mind in the past few days.

Holding hands, the two left Uncle Qian's grave step by step and went down the mountain.

"Go back and apply some medicine. If there are scars on your hands, it won't look good."

With the arrival of the scorching heat of summer, Chen Yan hoped that God would lose his temper and bring some rain every day.However, the sky was clear and clear, not to mention rain, and there were not even a few clouds.

He didn't expect the weather here to be so uncomfortable.

After taking off his coat, Chen Yan put on his underwear and enjoyed the cool under the grape arbor.The sky was getting dark, and the house was a little far away from other villagers' homes, so he wasn't afraid of being seen and gossiping.

Li Maoshan came out with a sliced ​​watermelon, and saw Chen Yan lying on the couch in a lying position, with the bald rabbit that had been shaved because of the heat on his lap quietly huddled together.

He put the watermelon aside, took a dry cloth and wiped Chen Yan's feet, which had been soaked in well water for a long time, in his hands.

The white and tender little feet looked tender and tender because they were soaked in water.

Li Maoshan put his shoes and socks on, but no matter how gentle his movements were, he woke up Chen Yan.

There was no good way to cool off the heat, so Chen Yan slumped on the recliner and didn't want to move.Seeing the watermelon at this time, he immediately regained his spirits.

This watermelon has been soaked in well water for a long time, and it is ice cold after a bite, which is very refreshing.Chen Yan ate three pieces in one go, until his stomach was bulging, so he stopped.

Rubbing his stomach and belching contentedly, Chen Yan said with a smile, "It's cool! It would be even better if I could have some cold drinks."

Li Maoshan washed his hands, dried them, looked up and asked, "What cold drink?"

"It's nothing."

Chen Yan was ashamed that he was doing so much work for him, so he helped to clean up the leftover watermelon rinds, and pointed to the red grapes under the grape trellis, and asked, "Are the grapes edible?"

I don't know what kind of grape this grape is, and it hasn't turned purple for a long time after being red, which made Chen Yan dare not pick it and eat it for a long time, because he was afraid of sourness.

"It should be possible." Li Maoshan was not sure, he was not very good at planting grapes, so he suggested, "Pick a bunch and try?"

Chen Yan walked back and forth under the grape arbor in confusion, picked the one that looked the reddest, pointed to the grapes and said, "Pick the reddest one first and try."

Li Maoshan picked one as he said, and handed it to Chen Yan, "Try it."

Chen Yan looked at the red grape in his hand, and felt sour in his mouth.

Can this be eaten?

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Yan didn't dare to put it in his mouth.

Seeing that he was so entangled in whether to eat or not, Li Maoshan smiled and took the grapes and threw them into his mouth.

"Oh?" Chen Yan looked at Li Maoshan unexpectedly and full of expectation, seeing him chewing with his eyes closed and not speaking, this made him ask eagerly: "Is it sour or sweet?"

Because he didn't see him frowning, Chen Yan couldn't tell whether the grapes were sweet or not.

Li Maoshan opened his eyes and saw Chen Yan looking at him nervously, so he smiled and said, "Sweet."

"Is it really sweet?"

Chen Yan still didn't quite believe it.

Seeing that he was so skeptical, Li Maoshan raised his hand and picked one.Under Chen Yan's surprised gaze, it was delivered to Chen Yan's mouth.

Chen Yan bit the grape skin expectantly, the juice stimulated his taste buds, before he could be happy, his brows were deeply knit together.

"very sour!"

He spat out the grapes in his mouth, glared angrily at Li Maoshan who was laughing wantonly, shook his hand a few times as if he was hitting him, and finally retracted his hand embarrassingly.

Li Maoshan pinched Chen Yan's swollen cheeks amusedly, and said, "Are you still hungry in the future?"

Chen Yan frowned and snorted twice, grabbed the sleepy rabbit and threw it on Li Maoshan, shook his head and entered the room.

Seeing that he seemed to be angry, Li Maoshan didn't care about the awakened rabbit, and hurried into the house, only to find that the door was locked.

Well, I'm so angry!

Early the next morning, Li Maoshan cooked a breakfast in a fawning manner.

Although it was just simple rice with pickles, Chen Yan still forgave him.

The two went straight to the county seat after eating.

After the summer, the number of people going out in the county town decreased a lot, and the business of the restaurant was slightly affected.

Chen Yan took advantage of his spare time to make a few new dishes to try out. Boss Lu was very satisfied and praised him for hiring a good cook.

On this day, because he ate too much watermelon greedily the night before, Chen Yan had diarrhea for a long time.

Early in the morning, the whole person looked very exhausted and haggard.

Li Maoshan was worried that he would go to work, and pressed him to have a good rest, "Give me a sleep after taking the medicine. I'll go to the food shop, and I'll come back after delivering the food."

Chen Yan lay on the bed with his mouth pouted, a thin quilt covering his stomach.

"I don't think I can live with this weather." Chen Yan complained unhappily, "I got wind and cold as soon as summer came, and now I have diarrhea. Do you think I haven't had any problems this summer? I will be sick for a while. When I get better, I have to go to a temple to worship the Bodhisattva."

Remembering that he was greedy and went to catch fish in the creek behind the house and fell, although it was not serious, it made him lie down for two days.With the salary given by Boss Lu, Chen Yan calculated that he had asked for leave several times in the past two months.However, Boss Lu was very polite and gave him the same salary every time, which made him feel very embarrassed.

"Stay honestly at home, how can there be such minor disasters and tribulations." Li Maoshan explained again worriedly: "I will keep the water cold for you, and drink when you are thirsty. Also, you are not allowed to touch the well water again." gone."

Chen Yan complied honestly.

"Go quickly, and bring me some food by the way. I'm like this today, I'm afraid I won't be able to cook."

Li Maoshan asked: "Okay, is there anything you want to eat?"

Chen Yan thought for a while and said, "I want to eat meat."

"You're hungry again, aren't you?" Li Maoshan looked at him rather helplessly, "I have diarrhea and want to eat meat, so you're not afraid that it will be more enjoyable after a while."

Li Maoshan's words made Chen Yan feel tense somewhere, and said awkwardly, "Then bring something I can eat."

"Well, I'll see what's suitable to eat when the time comes, and I'll bring you some back."

Chen Yan hummed listlessly, "Go and come back quickly."

Seeing him like this, Li Maoshan bent down and kissed him, and said softly, "I'll take you to have a good meal when you recover."

"What you say is what you say." Chen Yan hooked his lips, "But we can buy the materials and make them ourselves, which will save money."

"Okay, you cook, I eat." Li Maoshan rubbed his head.

When Li Maoshan went out, the sun was shining brightly and the heat was intense.

He was wearing a bamboo hat, and he had already wasted a lot of time this morning. Li Maoshan was afraid of waiting for vegetables in the food shop, so he didn't care about hurting the donkey, so he drove the donkey cart to the county.

Fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the donkey cart drove unimpeded to the food shop.

In front of the Lu's restaurant, some people were surrounding them, and the noise attracted many neighbors and passers-by.

Because the crowd blocked the road, the donkey cart could not pass.

Li Maoshan had no choice but to get down from the donkey cart, and there were still several baskets of vegetables on the donkey cart, which were needed by the food shop on weekdays.He was late today and he was in a hurry. At this time, someone blocked the way, and Li Maoshan suddenly became sullen.

Just at this moment, a figure fell out from the crowd and fell straight in front of Li Maoshan.

The man clutched his stomach and wailed, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Xiao Xin, the clerk of Lu's restaurant.

The author has something to say: I encountered a heavy rain when I went home today, and everything below the crotch was wet =-= this terrible weather.
