early morning.

Shen Wenxuan slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eyes was a piece of green and jade-white finger, slightly curled up on his pillow, very close to him, Shen Wenxuan could faintly smell the faint fragrance on it.

Looking up and following this hand, Ajiao is still asleep with his eyes closed, his skin is snow-white, and the long black crow feathers leave a faint blue shadow under his eyes, like butterfly wings that can move at a poke, slightly curly hair Silk is a little messy.

He slept on his side of the pillow again.

Shen Wenxuan looked at the fairy sleeping face of his lovely brother soberly.

Before, he didn't realize that Ajiao was so dishonest in sleeping. Without the kang screen in the middle, he would unknowingly come over and squeeze together with him. If he didn't sleep outside by himself, would he fall asleep? fell?

As Shen Wenxuan thought about it, he lowered his eyes and kissed the finger that was very close to him, tasted a little sweet, but it must have been outside for a long time, and his hand was a little cold.

Shen Wenxuan raised his hand to hold his fingers and stuffed them into the quilt, stretched his quilt and lifted it up, wrapping the area below his neck tightly.

Originally, the two of them should not have slept together, and Dr. Zhao's medical center did not have only one bed like theirs, so they could sleep on both sides of the room through a screen like the family members accompanied the bed before.

But Jiao Shihan refused: "...I'm a little scared to sleep alone, why didn't my brother come over?"

Shen Wenxuan was silent for a while, then said: "I will not extinguish the oil lamp in the room, so don't be afraid if the room is not dark."

Jiao Shihan was wearing a middle coat. She heard that half of her face was buried in the pillow, her cheeks were slightly puffed up, and she stared at Shen Wenxuan with reluctance:

"Even if you don't have to be afraid, I will still be cold when I sleep. Dr. Zhao said that I have a cold body. If you don't sleep with me, I will be very cold... I will become an ice sculpture the next day Maybe."

The voice was muffled and soft.

Shen Wenxuan couldn't help laughing: "Is it so serious?"

"Ah."

In order to prove himself, he nodded vigorously, keeping his eyes fixed on Shen Wenxuan, the reluctance in his eyes gradually turned into anticipation.

Seeing this, Shen Wenxuan thought of teasing, pretending to sigh in distress: "The main problem is that the bed is too small to sleep two people."

"Brother, push that bed over and make them together." Jiao Shihan pointed to the bed that Shen Wenxuan was going to sleep on the other side of the room, and gave him advice.

Shen Wenxuan glanced back: "It seems to be possible."

"Right?" Jiao Shihan sat up, patted the edge of the bed to signal him to push the bed over and have a try, the successful smile on his face was so dazzling.

Shen Wenxuan's heart moved, his fingertips suddenly felt a little itchy, and he wanted to poke the corner of his upturned mouth.

Jiao Shihan's eyes trembled slightly, Shen Wenxuan came back to his senses, retracted his fingers from the corner of his mouth, and watched him slowly open his eyes.

Covering her mouth with her fingers, Jiao Shihan let out a small breath, moved her body, and subconsciously moved to Shen Wenxuan's side, getting closer to him.

"Morning, brother."

Shen Wenxuan's heart was beating a little numb with the huge lump suddenly squeezed into his arms, and he didn't even know where to put his arms, so he replied after a while:

"Early...no, can't you get up?"

Jiao Shihan rubbed against the quilt, and said in a daze, "Brother, is he going to wake up?"

Shen Wenxuan: "Well, I need to go out today."

Jiao Shihan immediately woke up: "Get out? Where? How much time? Take me?"

Shen Wenxuan couldn't help laughing: "If you can get up, I will take you."

Jiao Shihan immediately got out of the rolled-up quilt, in a hurry, the belt of the jacket was loosened, and the collar was open, Shen Wenxuan saw a piece of whiteness, and was so frightened that he pushed him back into the quilt.

"Take your time, don't worry! I'll take you there!"

Jiao Shihan's eyes widened and her whole body was stiff, she huddled under the quilt and didn't dare to move, obviously found that her middle clothes were loose, she buried her face in the quilt in shame or embarrassment, looking like she really wanted to shrink into the seam.

Shen Wenxuan coughed lightly, got up quickly and walked behind the screen, put on his clothes and opened the door to go out. The whiteness of Ajiao flashed infinitely in his mind, and suddenly felt something strange under his nose. Shen Wenxuan wiped it unconsciously, and he bled Nosebleed, shit!Go crazy!

In the room, Jiao Shihan sat up slowly, the belt of the jacket was completely loose, and the top slipped from the shoulders, revealing a thin and beautiful body, Jiao Shihan glanced down, her ears were red and she put on her clothes again, but she was a little disappointed.

Shen Wenxuan disliked that Dr. Zhao could only cook pies, so he cooked the breakfast today, and Dr. Zhao was happy to have a leisurely time. Every mouthful of steamed buns was delicious, and even Ping'er ate a whole tray.

Jiao Shihan took a bite by himself, fed the ball under his feet, took a mouthful of porridge, and ate very slowly, obsessed with watching the ball eating.

Shen Wenxuan originally concentrated on eating his own meal because of the morning affairs, but seeing that most of the Xiaolongbao in front of Jiao Shihan had gone into the leftover stomach of the dog, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the Xiaolongbao with chopsticks and dipped some vinegar to see for himself He finished.

"Don't worry about it, it has its own food."

I don't eat much, how can I not eat well? !

Jiao Shihan swallowed the food in his mouth: "But it doesn't seem to eat."

Shen Wenxuan glanced at it and noticed its teeth.

Are the teeth of the earth dog so dense?It still looks sharp.

Shen Wenxuan was puzzled for a second or two, and said, "When we come back, we can buy something for it to eat."

After eating, Shen Wenxuan took Jiao Shihan out and went straight to Boss Zhuang's grocery store. The seven-day period happened to be today, and he had to go and see what he wanted.

"Boss Zhuang?"

"Hey." Boss Zhuang stood on tiptoe from behind the counter, his eyes lit up when he saw Shen Wenxuan, and he hurried out from behind the counter.

"Guest officer, why is it so early this time? I thought I would have to wait until noon like before to see you."

Boss Zhuang laughed a few times, caught a glimpse of a person behind him, and asked cautiously, "Who is this?"

Shen Wenxuan: "My brother, there is no need to hide anything, Boss Zhuang, please bring out what I want."

Boss Zhuang turned back to the back of the counter and rummaged for a long time before he took out a package, which contained many small packages: "Here are the spices you want, such as star anise, sanai, cinnamon, etc. This big one is the butter you want. It's all here."

Shen Wenxuan checked them one by one, and some of the spices looked different from Shen Wenxuan's impression, and he was able to identify them only by smell.

"Thank you, Boss Zhuang, take another two catties of brown sugar," Shen Wenxuan said, looking at Jiao Shihan next to him, "Is there anything Ajiao wants?"

Jiao Shihan took a few glances at the grocery store, and gradually fixed his gaze on a dog pen, then turned his head to look at Shen Wenxuan: "If the dog leash around Tuantuan's neck is strangled too hard, there will be strangle marks, and it hurts a lot."

The meaning is obvious, he wants to buy a dog collar as a gift for a.one.dog.

Shen Wenxuan asked Boss Zhuang to include the dog ring with a half-smile.

Very well, the first thing I wanted was a dog, and the second thing I wanted was a dog ring, huh.

Boss Zhuang was counting the money with his abacus, but when he looked up and saw Shen Wenxuan's gloomy eyes, he shook suddenly, slipped his hand, and missed a few counts.

How much is he?This man comes here often, and it seems like a good deal to get a discount.

Boss Zhuang stumbled and stared at his abacus and said:

"You ordered seven kinds of incense and spices, and you asked for five taels of each. Because, because you got it from a friend, you can just give the lowest price. Three catties of butter, one catty, only five hundred cash Yes, plus two catties of brown sugar and two taels of brown sugar, the dog leash will be given to you for free."

Boss Zhuang shook his trembling hands, and reset his calculations: "Well, this is 13 taels in total. If you come more often, you can get a... 11% off, and the total is [-] taels."

After speaking, he took a careful look at Shen Wenxuan, he was short, and he was not resistant to beating.

Shen Wenxuan was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to him at all. After he reported the total, he dropped 11 taels and dragged Jiao Shihan away, putting all the things he bought into the basket on his back.

After leaving the grocery store, Shen Wenxuan took Jiao Shihan to the grain store, and as soon as he entered, he called Xiaoer: "Is there any moldy watercress?"

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Yes, guest officer, wait a moment."

Jiao Shihan was puzzled: "Why must it be moldy?"

Shen Wenxuan: "Douban is broad beans. Moldy Douban can be used for cooking. I bought it to make Doubanjiang. I will let you taste it when I make it."

Jiao Shihan nodded with a half understanding.

Xiaoer rummaged through the granary for a long time before he found the bag of watercress, opened it for Shen Wenxuan to take a look at: "Guest officer, not many people eat this kind of food, we only have this bag in the shop."

Shen Wenxuan nodded and asked him to weigh two catties, and ordered two catties of glutinous rice and one catty of sesame seeds, which cost 530 Wen.

After coming out, Shen Wenxuan went to a blacksmith shop a little further away to find the blacksmith, and gave him the blueprint, and asked him to make an iron pot according to the above.

The master blacksmith scratched his shiny bald head. He couldn't read, and asked, "What kind of pot is this? Why is there something like a stove underneath?"

Shen Wenxuan: "Mandarin duck pot."

"Hey, that's a nice name." The blacksmith laughed a few times, "But it's not good for you to just give me this, and I can't understand what you wrote on it. You have to show me how big it is."

Shen Wenxuan opened both hands: "Such a big one, can you do it?"

"What's wrong with this? A pot of this size costs a hundred coins, and if you type it like this, it may cost more than a dozen coins."

Shen Wenxuan paid him a deposit of [-] Wen first: "When will you be able to do it?"

"If you are in a hurry, you can come and get it tomorrow." The blacksmith smiled naively. At first, seeing the two good-looking people was quite seductive, but the tall man's face was as cold as a lump of ice, and his words were cold, and he was so fast Let him laugh so much that he loves to laugh.

Shen Wenxuan ran all morning, Jiao Shihan followed slowly.

Shen Wenxuan took his hand and stopped: "Tired?"

Jiao Shihan shook his head, not because he was tired, but because he felt that his brother was in a bad mood, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out why, could it be that he was too clingy?

Shen Wenxuan put the basket on the ground and squatted down: "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Jiao Shihan shook her head and refused: "Brother has been running all morning, how can-"

"Come up."

Shen Wenxuan interrupted him, "You are not in good health. You have been walking for a whole morning. If you continue walking, your feet will feel uncomfortable. Come up, I will carry you on my back."

Jiao Shihan didn't evade this time, nodded in response, and slowly lay on his back, being lifted up.

Shen Wenxuan supported his buttocks with one arm, and held the pannier with the other. His back was straight, and his walking speed was not affected at all. Jiao Shihan hesitated and hugged him tighter, resting his chin on his shoulder.

Shen Wenxuan didn't go back directly. On the way, he went to Wufangzhai to buy a few snacks and handed them to Ajiao, asking him to rest his stomach first. Jiao Shihan took a bite of the apricot blossom crisp.

Well, not bad, but not as delicious as his cooking.

Feed Shen Wenxuan the remaining half of the apricot flower crisps, and Jiao Shihan tasted the remaining ones, almost always he took a bite, and then fed Shen Wenxuan another bite.

Shen Wenxuan didn't like to eat sweets, but he felt better for no reason.

I walked around Caishi Street and stopped at a butcher's stall who had just slaughtered a pig and bought five catties of pork.

In addition, I bought some pork bones and pig offal, and the dog leftovers didn't eat leftovers. He was considered a Buddha.

I have bought all the things needed to make hot pot. The glutinous rice and brown sugar I bought can also make a brown sugar glutinous rice cake.

Shen Wenxuan was about to go back with his things, but when he turned his gaze, he fixed on a few donkeys not far away.

The donkeys looked quite strong, and he couldn't keep bothering Zhang's family when he went back and forth between Anhe Village and Anhe County. It was quite strenuous to walk all the time to buy things in the county, so he went to the donkey owner who sold the donkeys. asked:

"How do you sell this donkey?"

The farmer who sold the donkey took a look at Shen Wenxuan. Seeing that he was carrying so many things in his hands and carrying a person on his back, it didn't look cumbersome at all, so he didn't dare to cheat him, saying:

"The two male donkeys and one female donkey are fed with good fodder. They are hard-working and there is no problem at all. If you have any problems, you can come to me. I am an honest man and will definitely replace them for you."

"Five taels of silver for a male donkey, and a female donkey can also mate to give birth to a cub, so it is more expensive, six taels of silver, guest officer, which one do you want?"

Shen Wenxuan stared at him, very suspicious that this person was pretending to be the one who sold the dog back then, no matter how the sales words were so similar.

"For public."

There is no need for the mother, lest the whole child come out and annoy him.

Shen Wenxuan led the donkey and hung everything on it. Jiao Shihan waited for him to put himself down and then sat on the donkey's back, but Shen Wenxuan led the donkey away after the things in his hand were empty. There is no intention of putting him on it, and I still carry it on my back.

Jiao Shihan looked at the big part of the donkey's back, then looked at Shen Wenxuan, wondering if I should remind him, isn't it tiring to carry him?

It was already noon when we returned to the Zhao Family Medical Center. Although we had eaten some snacks on the way and neither of us was very hungry, Shen Wenxuan still dragged Jiao Shihan into the kitchen to have something to eat.

Ping'er made stewed pork ribs at noon, and reserved half a pot for them.

Jiao Shihan couldn't eat, so he simply drank a bowl of hot porridge, finished the medicine and went out. Before leaving, he bit the candied fruit Shen Wenxuan handed over, and smiled at him.

Shen Wenxuan looked at the place where his index finger was accidentally licked by Ajiao, stared at it for a while, but did not make any abnormal moves, then turned his head to look at the leftover dog who gnawed on the bones happily, and was silent for a while, planning to make bean paste first.

Only when the bean paste is made can the hot pot bottom material be fried.

Shen Wenxuan added firewood to boil the water, poured in all the bean paste he bought, boiled it for a few minutes, and then took it out.

Dr. Zhao was addicted to alcohol, and he collected a lot of good wine and was reluctant to drink it. Shen Wenxuan took out a bottle to soak Douban.

While waiting, Shen Wenxuan used a mortar to grind the chili into chili glutinous rice cakes, then added a little salt, Chinese prickly ash and minced ginger, mashed the soaked watercress, and mixed them all together.

This time, after shopping at the grocery store, Boss Zhuang gave a few more small clay pots. Shen Wenxuan took out one and scrubbed it clean, then wiped it until there was no drop of water, added a layer of stirred watercress, and poured another layer Vegetable oil, repeat this several times until the small clay pot is filled, and finally seal it.

Shen Wenxuan only made this can. After all, he is still in the trial stage. Later, he took out the sesame seeds he bought, washed them and stir-fried them until they were cooked.

Dr. Zhao's family still had peanuts. Shen Wenxuan peeled dozens of peanuts, cooked them and mashed them, added them to the fried sesame seeds and stir-fried them a few times.

Stir-frying sesame seeds for too long will turn bitter. Shen Wenxuan thought about the caramel color described in the book, and kept frying carefully over low heat. When he felt that it was almost done, he poured it into a mortar and grinded it until it became a mushy sesame paste. Add some sesame oil and pack it in a small clay pot.

The smell of fried sesame seeds was very fragrant, and the dog left rubbed against his feet several times. Shen Wenxuan glanced at its round belly and the new dog collar around its neck, and rolled his eyes.

"Brother."

Jiao Shihan walked behind him at some point and called out, her voice was a little sweet.Shen Wenxuan took a small wooden spoon and looked back at Ajiao, opened the freshly sealed sesame paste and asked:

"what happened?"

Jiao Shihan's face was full of smiles: "You close your eyes first."

Shen Wenxuan paused when he dug the sesame paste. He wanted him to taste the sesame paste, but he closed his eyes anyway.

Jiao Shihan stretched out his hand from behind, tied what he was holding around his waist, took two steps back to appreciate it, and looked at Shen Wenxuan expectantly:

"Okay."

Shen Wenxuan opened his eyes and looked down. It was a pouch with a white base and delicate bamboo leaves embroidered on it.

"Does it look good?"

Jiao Shihan asked, before he saw that the purse used by his brother was always purple, with big red peonies on it, although he didn't know why his brother used such an unusually bright one, but he felt that the simpler one was more suitable for him.

"I just finished embroidering today, and I want to give it to you right away."

Shen Wenxuan touched the purse, and then glanced at the free dog leash from the grocery store. Suddenly, his heart sank, and his mood gradually improved.

I had been watching Ajiao embroidering with a frame before, and thought he liked it, so it was meant to be given to him. .

"Of course Ah Jiao's craftsmanship is excellent." Shen Wenxuan said with a smile.

Gee, comfortable.

The author has something to say: the purse used for the attack has always been the purse that he got when he first started doing business with the madam, and it has never been changed.
