Sisters Shen Zhiyao and Chen Hu went to the bamboo forest to catch some bamboo shoot bugs. After playing for a while, they said goodbye to Aunt Chen and prepared to go back.
Chen Cuihua was going to go back with them, but Shen Zhiyao asked her to go to the county town at noon tomorrow. Their restaurant would only open for dinner tomorrow, so Chen Cuihua could spend more time with her family.
Before leaving, Aunt Chen picked ten home-grown grapefruits for Shen Zhiyao.
Looking at the grapefruit, Shen Zhiyao suddenly thought that the box of oranges in her space had not been eaten yet, and the oranges seemed to be a cross between grapefruits and oranges, which did not exist in this imaginary era.
Just when Shen Zhiyao was thinking about Chengzi and driving the donkey cart out of Chen's house, she met old Shen coming out of the house carrying a hoe.
When they suddenly met, Old Shen looked at Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya, who had obviously grown some flesh on their faces, and looked a little dazed.
This is the first time Old Man Shen has seen them since the breakup of their relationship.
Old Man Shen knew that Shen Zhiyao had a close relationship with the Chen family, and now that he saw the Chen family making money by selling windmills, he felt quite unhappy.
Twisting his lips, Old Shen strode forward, pretending to be indifferent and walked up to Shen Zhiyao and the others, wanting to see their reaction.
But they saw Shen Zhiyao and the other two people driving the donkey cart without even calling him.
Old Man Shen: "..."
After arriving in Tongfang County, Shen Zhiyao first went shopping and strolled around the market.
She saw a taro seller and had an idea for the evening's menu. She quickly picked out some taro and bought it.
Later, I went to buy chicken, duck, fish and some meat.
After shopping, she drove the donkey cart to Qinglian Lane and saw Ye Buji walking out of a house in Qinglian Lane.
"Mr. Ye."
Shen Zhiyao waved to him.
"Grandpa, the miracle doctor!" Shen Yueya also waved, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
Only Shen Baiqiu was a little confused.
Hey, sister and Yue Ya know this person. Are they looking at the miracle doctor who appeared that day?
"Girl Shen, why...do you live here?" Ye Buji heard the voice and turned around to see Shen Zhiyao and the others, a little surprised.
"Yes, Mr. Ye, who are you?" Shen Zhiyao glanced at the house behind him.
Ye Buyi said: "I just bought the house here. It seems that I and Shen Yatou are destined to live in an alley."
Bought a house? So it looks like you’re going to stay for a long time?
Shen Zhiyao thought about the plan in her heart, raised a smile and continued: "Mr. Ye, I live in the fifth house in front of you. Are you alone? It's almost time for evening food. Even if you are destined, Why don't you come to my house and eat together."
The fifth one?
Ye Buji looked at the house she was pointing at, and then glanced at Lin Suxin's house next door.
After a while, Ye Buji turned around and said, "Okay, Miss Shen, your restaurant is closed today. I'm worried about having no place to eat."
After Ye Buyi finished speaking, Shen Zhiyao told him the approximate meal time and asked him to come before then.
Back home, Shen Zhiyao asked Shen Baiqiu to go next door and tell Lin Suxin and Lin Jinglan that if they went to their house for dinner in the evening, it would be more lively.
Not surprisingly, Lin Suxin came over with Shen Baiqiu to help Shen Zhiyao cook evening food.
But this time, in addition to Lin Suxin, Lin Jinglan also followed behind them.
There are six people tonight, and Shen Zhiyao plans to cook six dishes.
After Lin Suxin asked her what needed to be dealt with, she gave the fish and chicken to Lin Jinglan and asked Lin Jinglan to clean them up.
Shen Zhiyao was curious if Lin Jinglan knew how to take care of it?
In this era, there were very few men who participated in kitchen affairs, especially most scholars, who upheld the tradition of being a gentleman and staying away from the kitchen.
"Miss Shen, I usually cook at home."
Lin Jinglan held the fish that Lin Suxin gave him and suddenly said this.
Seeing that he seemed to understand her thoughts, Shen Zhiyao said "oh" without any embarrassment.
"Then there is Mr. Laurin."
After saying that, Shen Zhiyao went to deal with the duck, while Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya were peeling garlic, and Lin Suxin was peeling taro.
Several people were busy, and finally, Shen Zhiyao came to cook, Lin Jinglan was responsible for lighting the fire for her, and Lin Suxin did some simple tasks, such as cutting taro and meat.
At about a quarter past midnight, Ye Buji came to the door carrying a jar of wine.
"Girl Shen, what did you do tonight? I smelled the fragrance before I even entered the door."
Ye Buji said as he went to the kitchen of Shen Zhiyao's house.
As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, Ye Buji saw Lin Jinglan who was still lighting the fire.
I was stunned for a moment.
But he didn't show any abnormality on his face. He just calmly lifted the wine jar up to the height of his chest and said, "I brought a jar of wine. You have to drink some with me tonight."
"No problem. Mr. Ye, go and sit down for a while. The food will be ready soon." Shen Zhiyao put the last dish into the pot.
Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya took Ye Buji to sit down at the table in the courtyard.
After all the dishes were served, the six people sat down one after another. Shen Zhiyao introduced them to each other first.
"Aunt Lin, Mr. Lin, this is Mr. Ye. He just moved to Qinglian Lane, just a few houses in front, not far from us."
"Mr. Ye, Aunt Lin and Mr. Lin, mother and son, are also residents of Qinglian Lane. Their house is right next door to mine."
It turned out to be a neighbor.
I got in touch right after I moved in. It really took no effort at all.
Ye Buji followed Shen Zhiyao's introduction, looked directly at Lin Jinglan, and said coldly: "Boy Lin, I think you seem to be sick."
Um?
Four pairs of eyes on the table looked at Ye Buji in unison.
Ye Buji continued: "I know a little bit about medicine, can you let me take a look at it?"
Oops, those who didn’t know better thought you were swearing.
Shen Zhiyao smiled.
"Mr. Ye is right. My son has been in poor health since he was a child. He even went to the doctor for treatment, but multiple doctors couldn't cure him." What Lin Suxin was most worried about was Lin Jinglan's health.
"A disease that multiple doctors can't cure?" Ye Buji's voice rose slightly, "I'm interested in difficult and complicated diseases. Okay, don't leave after dinner. I'll treat your disease."
He looked like an old god, which greatly increased Lin Suxin's confidence in him, hoping to cure Lin Jinglan.
But Lin Jinglan, who is a "sick" person, has no trouble on his face.
In Ye Buji's eyes, he nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Ye."
"Come on, come on, it's time to eat." Shen Zhiyao held up her chopsticks and introduced today's dishes to everyone: "The pot in the middle is bamboo shoots and taro chicken, and next to it are garlic white meat, roast duck, Kung Pao chicken and steamed fish. There is a basin of raw egg soup.”
Ye Buji first reached out to the pot of bamboo shoots and taro chicken.
"This dish is so delicious."
The chicken is tender, the taro is glutinous, and the bamboo shoots are crispy.
After Ye Buji tasted all the dishes in the Bamboo Shoots and Taro Chicken, he was full of praise.
"Zhiyao, how do you eat this roast duck?" Lin Suxin turned her eyes to the roast duck and asked curiously when she saw Xiao Zhang Xiao Zhang's pancakes and a bowl of sauce placed beside the roast duck.
