I was a hunter in ancient times

Zhou Du didn't eat the stems of plants because they were bitter and astringent, and tasteless, no different from eating grass.

But Zheergen is different.

Not only is it full of roots, but it also tastes a little fishy. People who are used to it may think it's nothing, but those who are not used to it will not be able to eat it anyway.

Zhou Du belongs to the category that can't eat.

After eating the bunch of folded ears, his face immediately turned pale, and he drank several glasses of water before suppressing the uneasy feeling in his stomach.

Shen Xi blinked, and looked at Zhou Du in surprise: "You really ate it all?"

He thought that Zhou Du would spit it out after taking a bite.

Zhou Du raised his head and drank another cup of water pressure. He always felt that there was still a bitterness in his mouth, and there was a faint fishy smell in the bitterness. Looking at Shen Xi's surprised face, he lightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, what are you doing?" Yes, how can you not eat it."

Zhou Du's expression didn't show any emotion, it was no different from usual, Shen Xi sensed something was wrong from his slightly raised brows, after thinking about it, Zhou Du had always been tolerant to him, and the point that just raised was like a glow on his back The feeling dissipated again.

"You're the best." Shen Xi probably saw that Zhou Du really couldn't eat, so he smiled and picked some other dishes for him, letting him suppress the taste.

Li Yu and the others are used to the taste of Zheergen. It is the beginning of spring, and the wild vegetables in the field have just grown, and the Zheergen is just emerging. The rhizome is fresh and tender. Cook it in the pot for a while. After it is fully cooked, dip it in The seasoning at the bottom of the bowl is fragrant and crispy.

Shen Mu looked at a table of people who were happily eating, and picked up a bundle of well-cooked Zheergen, rinsed off the chili on the outside of it with clean water, and put it in Qin Yi's bowl: "Ping An, you can try it too." .”

Qin Yi didn't refuse, and tried to take a bite, Ying Ting frowned immediately, he was also not used to the taste, but fortunately he was used to marching and fighting outside, and had eaten all kinds of unpalatable things, especially those at sea. In the past year, I have eaten fish no matter how fishy, ​​but this faint earthy smell is still tolerable.

Slowly, he ate all the unpalatable Zheergen.

After waiting for him to finish eating, Shen Mu asked curiously, "How does it taste?"

It's a bit unpalatable, but it's still bearable if it's not unpalatable. Qin Yi wiped Kai's lips with a handkerchief, and reluctantly said: "It's okay."

One sentence was okay, Shen Mu understood what he meant, and he would not let him try again.

Except for Mrs. Meng and Qin Yi, who can't eat spicy food, everyone was quite satisfied with this hot pot meal.

Especially Meng Sui, after eating, he dragged Shen Xi to discuss in detail the matter of opening a hot pot restaurant.

If we don't talk about this matter, the two of them will talk endlessly, from site selection to decoration, I really can't wait to fly back to the county and open the store now.

If it wasn't for the fact that Mrs. Meng was too tired in the back, and Meng Sui helped her into the room to rest, they didn't know when they would talk.

Zhou Du had nothing to do, so he took the dishes on the table to the kitchen to wash.

He rolled up his sleeves, exposing a white and strong arm, standing by the sink, holding a rag, and gently washing the dishes.

After talking with Meng Sui, Shen Xi remembered that his dishes hadn't been washed yet, so he hurriedly wiped his hands on his apron, walked to the kitchen, and saw Zhou Du, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, bowing slightly. screen.

Appreciating it warmly in my heart for a while, I walked over to Zhoudu, took out a dish from a pile of dishes, and slowly washed it with a rag.

Sensing a sudden extra person beside him, smelling the faint aura emanating from him, Zhou Du slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "The talk is over?"

"Well, Mrs. Meng is sleepy, Mr. Meng has gone to sleep," Shen Xi explained casually, and after cleaning a bowl, he asked Zhou Du again, "Why did you come here to wash the dishes?"

Zhou Du put the stack of dishes and dishes cleaned by the two of them back into the closet, and said indifferently, "Help you share."

Shen Xi knew what was going on in his heart, but when he heard it, he felt the same thing again, and couldn't help grinning.

Looking at Shen Xi's smile, Zhou Du felt at ease in his heart: "You smile so happily, it seems that your cooperation is very pleasant."

Speaking of this, a little worry appeared on Shen Xi's smiling face: "I don't have to worry about opening the shop, but do you think the dishes in the hot pot are too simple?"

In Taoyuan Village, Shen's family can be said to have the best food. Fortunately, it is far away from other residents in the village. If it is close, they will drool every day when it is time to cook.

In this way, when preparing hot pot dishes today, only a dozen or so dishes were drawn out, so Meng Sui hadn't even finished eating.

It's okay to be so simple in my own home, but it's absolutely impossible to open a shop so simple, and the shop they opened is not a small shop, but a big shop similar to a restaurant.

The restaurants in the county town have several not only their signature dishes, not to mention other dishes, but at least thirty or forty dishes.

The few dishes they had were too ugly, but after thinking about them, he couldn't think of how to enrich the dishes.

Zhou Du wiped the sink and stove with a rag and saw Shen Xi's anxious look, soothed him: "Don't worry, you are the cook, you can think about the ingredients slowly, and you can always think of more. "

Afraid that Shen Xi would go into the wrong place by himself, Zhou Du made another point deliberately: "The folded ears like yours today are quite good. Some people may not like to eat them, but there are also those who like them."

As soon as Zhou Du opened his mouth, Shen Xi's thoughts became clearer: "This idea is also good, that is, the Zhe Ergen can only be eaten in this season, and it will be gone after the season."

Shen Xi said as he changed his mind: "However, there are different wild vegetables in other seasons, we can completely specify the vegetables according to the season."

"There are shepherd's purse in spring; dandelion and purslane in summer; okra in autumn; and Wutao in winter..."

Shen Xi snapped his fingers and poured out all the wild vegetables in different seasons like a few treasures.

Zhou Du praised and pointed out from time to time: "Yes, following this line of thinking, think about whether there are other mountain products besides wild vegetables, such as..."

Shen Xi's eyes lit up, and he blurted out in surprise: "For example, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms...these can be stored in the sun, and together there are more than a dozen dishes."

The more Shen Xi talked, the more excited he became, fearing that he would forget, he hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, went to fetch a pen and paper, and wrote down everything they thought.

After finishing writing, he looked left and right, and muttered again: "This way, green vegetables are enough, but meat dishes seem to be not enough. Besides chicken, duck and fish, what else can I add?"

Zhou Du's eyes turned around in the kitchen, and he noticed a bowl of chicken blood that Shenxi left alone when he killed pheasants today. He walked over, took the bowl of chicken blood, and asked him, "What do you use for this chicken blood?" do what?"

Shen Xi looked at the chicken blood in Zhou Du's hand, and expressed his thoughts: "Tomorrow, make a hot and sour chicken blood for dinner."

Zhou Du hummed lightly, and before he could mention something, Shen Xi realized it by himself: "Chicken blood, chicken blood can also be used for hot pot."

Zhou Du said vaguely: "They all use chili peppers to taste, so it should be fine."

Shen Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Chicken blood is fine, but so is duck blood, pig blood, and sheep blood."

Zhou Du agreed, "That's the reason."

Shen Xi dipped the tip of his pen in ink, and recorded these things non-stop.

While writing, he suddenly realized: "Since chicken blood can be used for hot pot, then chicken intestines, chicken gizzards, duck intestines, and duck gizzards can also be used."

Zhou Du chuckled lightly and said, "You can try."

Shen Xi tapped the end of his pen on his head twice, thought for a while, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and wrote dozens of dishes on the paper in one breath.

After finishing writing, he looked at the pile of things densely packed on the whole paper, and heaved a sigh of relief: "The dishes are finally not shabby."

Zhou Du looked at his neat notes on the paper, and gave him some advice: "In addition to working hard on the dishes, you should also think carefully about other things."

Shen Xi paused slightly: "Other places, what else do you need to consider?"

Zhou Du pointed to a jug of wine on the table for cooking: "For example, wine."

Since ancient times, the intervention of wine has been indispensable in eating places. After Zhou Du reminded him a little, Shen Xi immediately snapped his fingers: "Oh, I almost forgot about this."

Shen Xi quickly thought about everything: "Just ask Meng Sui to contact the restaurant for wine. I will also brew other fruit wines. My store needs them. I won't sell the wine I brewed this year. Go, so we can make another fortune."

Zhou Du quietly listened to his arrangement without interrupting.

Shen Xi laughed as he said this: "But in this way, our shop seems to be completely different from ordinary small shops, not like an antique soup shop, but more like a serious restaurant."

His original idea was just to open a shop to make money, but he didn't expect that after all this, the shop would grow bigger and bigger.

Zhou Du brushed the loose hair on his body for him: "Whoever said that antique soup can't be made into a restaurant style, maybe after you make it, it can become a must in Daqing."

What Zhou Du said made Shen Xi's heart agitated. His childhood dream was to open a world-famous restaurant, to prove to the world, to that person, to the deceased, and to his little uncle that he could serve as the kitchen chef of the Shen family. Carry forward the art inheritance.

Pity.

Shen Xi put down his pen, rubbed his right wrist again, and gradually regained his composure: "Furthermore, if I can make money from this store, it will keep you from going hunting in the mountains, and I will be very satisfied."

After playing for a long time, Shen Xi still didn't give up the idea of ​​letting him eat soft food.

Zhou Du poked Shen Xi's cheek: "You want to support me that much, huh?"

Shen Xi smiled and said: "I not only want to raise you, I also want to hide you, but unfortunately I don't have that ability, I can neither raise you nor hide you."

Zhou Du chuckled lightly and said, "When your restaurant opens, you can support me."

Shen Xi shook his head: "I can't."

Zhou Du paused: "Why not?"

Shen Xi clapped his fingers and explained to him: "I contributed 500 taels, 300 taels of which you got from selling bears, 100 taels of your bride price, and 80 taels from my sister-in-law. The 480 taels are all It's your money, I only paid 20 taels, so this shop belongs to you, and I will have to rely on you to support it in the future."

"..." Zhou Du, "Since it's given to you, it's yours."

Shen Xi disagreed: "How can that be done, my brother has to settle accounts..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Du said displeasedly: "So the husband and wife have to settle accounts clearly?"

Shen Xi immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and changed the subject: "Of course not, but whoever contributes the most in this family should earn the money, that's whoever earns the money."

Zhou Du raised his chin: "You contribute the most in the family, and the money is naturally yours too."

Shen Xi pursed his lips, spread his hands and said: "But I didn't do anything except cook, how can I say that I contributed the most."

"Knowing how to cook is the best effort," Zhou Du affirmed him, "Without you, I'm afraid I would have starved to death."

Shen Xi didn't believe it: "How can you be so exaggerated? Without me, you can still find other cooks."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhou Du didn't explain anything. Seeing that there was nothing to clean up in the kitchen, he walked out of the kitchen, turned around and asked, "Going home?"

It was getting late, the lights in Shen Mu's room were all off, and they were still chatting with candles in the kitchen.

Hearing Zhou Du's reminder, Shen Xi came back to his senses, packed up the menus that were drying ink on the table, blew out the candles in the kitchen, left one behind, and followed Zhou Du's pace: "Return."

Although Zhou Du and Shen Xi's new home also built a kitchen, Shen Xi was not used to using the new kitchen. To save trouble, cooking was still done in the Shen's kitchen.

The new kitchen is not empty either, it is quite convenient to boil water for a bath or something.

Both of them had been in the kitchen for a short time today, and they smelled like spices on their bodies. When they got home, they worked together to boil a pot of bath water.

Zhou Du carried the bucket to the water room to add water to Shenxi's bathtub.

Shen Xi took out the two people's changed clothes from the room, and grabbed Zhou Du who was about to leave after adding water in time, with bright eyes: "Together?"

Zhou Du's belt was caught by someone, so he had to stop, turned around and looked at his eager eyes, and slightly curled his lips: "Why haven't you given up on this idea?"

If he remembers correctly, this is the third time Shen Xi has invited him to take a bath together.

Zhou Du didn't forget it, and Shen Xi naturally didn't forget it either, indulgently said: "It's said that there are only three things, you have reason to refuse the first two times, and you have no reason to refuse this third time, right?"

In the past, Zhou Du restrained himself and respected Shen Xi, but now that they were married, Shen Xi took the initiative to send them to their door, of course Zhou Du had no reason to refuse, he put down the wooden barrel, closed the door of the water room, and replied softly: "OK. "

Shen Xi's heart beat twice, he hung the changed clothes in his hands on the hanger, walked behind Zhou Du, stretched out his arms to wrap around his waist, put his fingertips on his girdle, and said softly: "Undress you Untie."

Zhou Du's Adam's apple twitched: "Okay."

Following his reply, his girdle came into Shen Xi's hands, followed by his coat and inner coat.

The scalding water vapor lingered, and quickly filled the small water room with mist, making it difficult for people to see clearly the situation in the room.

The water was so drunk that the eyes of both of them were blurred. Shen Xi took a snow-white handkerchief and wiped Zhou Du's back seriously again and again. His lower lip was almost bitten by him. He said disappointedly: "Just... just Take a bath like this?"

Zhou Du felt slightly amused: "Otherwise?"

"Otherwise..." A wave of hope rose in Shen Xi's heart, leaning his head on Zhou Du's shoulder, he said with a smile: "Otherwise, let's do something fun."

Zhou Du tilted his head to look at the smile on his face, and twitched his lips: "If you don't mind the tub falling apart."

Shen Xi patted the water in the tub annoyed, causing the water to splash in all directions and scattered all over the ground: "It's all your fault for making the tub so small."

Zhou Du pinched his cheeks that were reddened by the moisture: "It's not too young."

This is already the largest bathtub he has ever made, no matter how hot it is, the water in it will soon lose its heat.

Shen Xi also knew this truth, he just took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction, now he lost his temper, and threw the handkerchief in his hand to Zhou Du: "Rub my back."

Zhou Du looked at Shen Xi's skin that was scorched red by the water vapor, shining brightly under the candlelight, and his voice became hoarse, and he agreed: "Okay."

Shen Xi turned around, leaned on the edge of the barrel, and handed his back to Zhou Du with confidence.

Zhou Du put the handkerchief on Shen Xi's back shoulder, and gently wiped the skin of his body inch by inch.

Zhou Du's movements were too gentle, causing Shen Xi to feel as if he was scratching an itch. He chuckled twice: "You should be heavier, it's so itchy."

Zhou Du had no choice but to increase his strength, looking at the reddened skin due to his exertion, he asked softly, "Is that so?"

Shen Xi leaned on the edge of the bathtub with his hands folded, his chin resting on the back of his hands, enjoying Zhou Du's service comfortably: "Almost, as long as you don't scratch it."

Zhou Du had no choice but to maintain this strength, leaving red marks on his skin that quickly dissipated one after another.

After taking a bath, he took off Shenxi's hairband, and gently washed his hair full of black hair.

Under Zhou Du's gentle fingering, Shen Xi felt that he was about to fall asleep, so he kept talking to relieve the sleepiness: "Zhou Du, you are so comfortable to serve, it would be great if someone would serve you like this every day in the future."

Zhou Du dripped some water on his hair, and said amusedly, "Why do you have to work so hard to open a shop if you like being served so much?"

Shen Xi stopped talking, and after a while he said again: "On the day I got married, my little uncle wanted to give me a lot of money, but I didn't ask for it. Would you blame me?"

Zhou Du combed his black hair with his fingers: "Why do you blame me?"

Shen Xi pursed her lips: "Because if I take the money, we can live comfortably for the rest of our lives, but I still feel that money earned with my own hands is the most secure."

So it's all because of his own self-inflicted hardships. There was an opportunity for him to lie down and live his life before him, but he himself rejected it.

Zhou Du combed his black hair, and wiped him with a clean handkerchief: "Don't you have the answer in your heart, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Shen Xi asked curiously: "If it was you, with such a large sum of money in front of you, what would you do?"

Zhou Du wrapped up his hair and let him wipe it himself, while he pulled the clothes on the hanger and got out of the bathtub: "Except for you, God will not give me any more pies."

So this question doesn't make any sense.

Shen Xi happily followed his steps, with clothes loosely wrapped around her body, raised her head and looked into his eyes, and asked sincerely: "So am I your pie?"

Zhou Du lowered his eyes slightly, pecked lightly on his freshly red lips after taking a bath, and replied affirmatively, "Yes."

Before Shen Xi climbed onto Zhou Du's shoulder, Zhou Du took the lead and said, "Go back to the room and light the lamp."

It's self-evident what to do to light the lamp, Shen Xi immediately hooked Zhou Du's neck, and proudly said, "husband, give me a hug."

Zhou Du had no choice but to carry him back to the room, and lit the candles placed in every corner of the bedroom. For a moment, the whole room was brightly illuminated by the light of the candles, and the darkness was completely driven out of the door, without a trace of danger. The gap in the door.

Under the light of the candlelight, Shen Xi's cheeks that were rosy from the water vapor seemed to be covered with a soft halo, which made people unable to move their eyes away.

Zhou Du couldn't help but kissed Shen Xi's lips, and indulged himself between his lips and teeth without restraint or suppression, like a beast ready to devour a lamb.

Shen Xi was so kissed by Zhou Du that it was hard to breathe, and the only way to relieve it was to breathe continuously.

The rustling sound spread gently in the room, and the temperature in the room continued to rise. The heat made the surrounding candles burn faster.

While the wick was swaying, Zhou Du bowed his head and kissed Shen Xi, wrapped his hands around his waist, and protected him from tilting downward a little bit. His knees were kneeling on the edge of the bed, about to fall with Shen Xi.

Shen Xi's back touched the big soft bed behind him, and he clasped Zhou Du's skirt with his hands. He should have no time to care about other him, but at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly remembered what happened on this bed. All things, suddenly froze, and the whole person inexplicably resisted.

He paused holding Zhou Du's clothes, and blurted out the words of refusal: "No, no, no."

Three times in a row, no matter how reluctant Zhou Du was, he had no choice but to let him go, forcibly suppressing all his desires, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

Just when Zhou Du was about to get up from the edge of the bed to leave, Shen Xi tugged at his clothes again, his eyes turned slightly red and said: "When I say no, I mean it's not allowed on the bed, and... I didn't say it's not allowed in other places." .”

Shen Xi stared at the undercurrent in Zhou Du's eyes, thinking, as long as he wasn't on the bed, Zhou Du should restrain himself...

Zhou Du raised his eyebrows and confirmed to him: "Are you sure?"

Shen Xi nodded firmly, since he was scared on the bed anyway.

Seeing his insistence, Zhou Du had nothing to say, he let go of his knees kneeling on the edge of the bed, hugged Shen Xi's whole body, and pressed his lips together without looking for other places.

Shen Xi blankly let Zhou Du dominate, guessing in his heart where Zhou Du would find himself.

Desk, wardrobe, bookshelf, or window sill?

However, he waited for a long time but did not wait for Zhou Du's action, and the clothes on his body were getting more and more wrong.

Shen Xi swallowed, and the legs hooked around Zhou Du's waist became slightly weak: "You don't intend to just do this, do you?"

Zhou Du raised reddish eyes: "No?"

"It's not impossible," Shen Xi squeezed Zhou Du's strong arms, "I'm afraid you won't be able to hug me."

Zhou Du smiled lightly: "You'll know if you try it."

Shen Xi: "That's right..."

I haven't finished speaking, so I can't speak.

After a few times, Zhou Du leaned against his ear and asked softly, "Is it okay?"

Shen Xi was so exhausted that he didn't have any strength, and his whole body was buried in Zhou Du's shoulder dripping with sweat, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's great!"

Zhou Du got the answer he expected, and didn't intend to let him go.

Shen Xi is not happy: "Hugh... rested..."

"No," Zhou Du ruthlessly rejected him, "Seven folded ear roots, you are only the third, and you have four more."

Shen Xi instantly recalled the scene when he let Zhou Du eat Zhe Ergen, and he said that he felt something was wrong at that time, so it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

Three sticks have exhausted him, and four sticks will not let him live!

Shen Xi gritted his teeth: "You are stingy!"

Zhou Du hugged him tightly and let him speak.

Shen Xi was miserable, and finally had to compromise: "Why don't you go to bed."

At least he still has a point of strength on the bed, but now his whole body is floating, it's too uncomfortable.

"No," Zhou Du refused again, "You didn't want to be on the bed just now."

Shen Xi was so angry that he bit Zhou Du's shoulder fiercely.

Zhou Du groaned in pain: "My dear, you're biting too hard, relax."

Shen Xi tightly hooked Zhou Du's waist, and added a little more force: "I won't, just allow you to take revenge on me, and don't allow me to take revenge on you."

Zhou Du, unable to move an inch: "..."

The goblins were fighting in the room, and no one outside the room noticed. Dou Bao, who was supposed to have a good rest, flashed a pair of blue eyes in the darkness, and went towards the direction of the mountain during the day.
