Chapter 108 The tea aroma in this tea
Jian Yue returned to the compound in a good mood, carrying a basket full of wild delicacies.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he bumped into Liu Zhu.
He paused abruptly and glanced at Liu Zhu.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhu, the woman, actually walked towards her with a smile on her face and twisted her waist.
He even greeted me politely, "Comrade Jian, I'm glad to meet you!"
Jian Yue frowned, her face expressionless, and didn't reply.
"Comrade Jian, there may be a misunderstanding between us. Please don't take it to heart." Liu Zhu blinked his seemingly innocent eyes, with an aggrieved look on his face.
Jian Yue sneered inwardly, "Oh? Misunderstanding? I don't know what kind of misunderstanding it could be. Tell me about it."
Liu Zhu bit her lip lightly and said in a tender voice: "Maybe some rumors have reached your ears before, but they are not true. I have always respected you!"
Jian Yue rolled her eyes in her heart.
Cursing inwardly: Just keep pretending!
But he said slowly, "Really? Thank you so much for your respect. I can't bear it."
Liu Zhu seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Jian Yue's words and moved forward.
He reached out and took her arm, saying in a coquettish voice, "Comrade Jian, let's get along well from now on."
Jian Yue shook her hand off in disgust and said impatiently, "Okay, stop pretending here. I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."
(〝▼伖)——╬(′-灬-｀)
After saying that, he picked up the basket and left quickly without looking back.
I really can't stand the tea smell in this tea, I don't even want to act with her.
Liu Zhu stood there, his face turning pale and blue, and he was so angry that his teeth were itching.
After returning home, Jian Yue quickly started preparing lunch.
I plan to have kudzu bone soup and shepherd's purse and pork dumplings for lunch.
First, take out all the freshly picked shepherd's purse, turn on the tap, and rinse it carefully.
The emerald green leaves of shepherd's purse become more tender under the caress of the water, exuding a fresh fragrance.
The taste of this wild vegetable is very special. Those who like it will love it, while those who don’t like it will stay away from it.
She carefully picked out the old leaves and roots and placed the shepherd's purse in a bamboo basket to drain it.
Then knead the dough.
Put the white flour into a bowl, add some water, and knead it vigorously. The dough will soon become smooth and elastic.
When preparing the filling, chop the tender pork into small pieces and mix in chopped shepherd's purse.
Add chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, light soy sauce, sesame oil and other seasonings, stir vigorously clockwise, the aroma of the filling will instantly fill the air, making you salivate.
Let’s make dumplings!
Jian Yue picked up the dumpling wrapper, put the filling on it, and pinched and folded it with her deft fingers.
In the blink of an eye, beautiful dumplings were neatly arranged on the chopping board.
On the other side, bones and kudzu vines were tumbling happily in the pot, and the aroma was fragrant.
Jian Yue stirred from time to time.
The dumplings are put into the pot and simmer in the boiling water.
After a while, the dumplings were cooked, each one was plump and round.
Remove from the heat and place on a plate.
At this time, the kudzu bone soup is also ready...
Not long after, Jiang Zeyuan came back from the army.
As soon as I stepped into the house, my eyes were glued to the delicious food on the table.
He grinned and strode over to Jian Yue's side.
"Wife, you've worked hard!" Jiang Zeyuan said as he picked up a steaming dumpling and blew on it gently.
He put it to her mouth with eyes full of pampering, "Try it first."
Jian Yue was slightly startled and blinked uncomfortably.
She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and ate the dumplings.
Jiang Zeyuan then sat down contentedly and began to eat like whirlwind.
He ate one dumpling at a time, wolfing it down.
“Delicious, so delicious!”
In the blink of an eye, the bowl of dumplings was finished, and he hurriedly served another bowl.
Jian Yue smiled and gently scolded, "Eat slowly, don't choke, no one is going to snatch it from you."
Jiang Zeyuan's mouth was full, and he replied incoherently: "My wife cooks so deliciously that I can't stop eating."
After finishing eating, he leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.
He rubbed his round belly with satisfaction, smiling until his eyes narrowed into slits, "Wife, this meal is so delicious."
Jian Yue looked at his belly that was as bulging as a ball, feeling both angry and amused.
"I told you to eat less, now your stomach is about to explode."
Jiang Zeyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took her hand and gently stroked it, "It's because your cooking is so delicious, I just can't help it."
"Then get up and walk around to help digest the food."
Jiang Zeyuan stood up with difficulty, his belly bulging.
He paced slowly in the room, and his funny appearance made Jian Yue giggle.
"You did this on purpose!"
......
The next few days were leisurely and comfortable.
Every day I either stay at home reading or stroll along the hillside, picking some fresh wild vegetables.
The sky was gloomy that day.
"Little Jian, you're working more and more efficiently!" Aunt Zhang praised in a loud voice, and the wrinkles on her face looked even deeper in the dark sky.
Jian Yue straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and grinned, "Aunt Zhang, practice makes perfect. It's no big deal."
"That's right, Xiao Jian is very hardworking. It's a blessing for Captain Jiang to marry you!" Aunt Li also came over to talk, her eyes full of approval.
"Aunt Li, please stop making fun of me!"
Although I think so too, I still have to be humble.
ヾ(=?w?=)o
During this period of time, I have slowly figured out how to get along with these aunties and grandmas.
At this time, Uncle Wang, carrying a hoe, came over and said, "Little Jian, you are almost as good at picking wild vegetables as I am!"
Jian Yue blinked, her eyes showing intelligence, "Uncle Wang, you have enough experience, but I am still far from it. You need to give me more guidance."
"Haha, you are a sweet-talking girl!" Uncle Wang laughed with his head back.
"That's right, little Jian's mouth looks like it's covered with honey." Aunt Zhang laughed and her eyes narrowed into slits.
Jian Yue playfully flicked her braids and said, "It is thanks to the enthusiastic guidance of all the uncles and aunts that I have made progress!"
The wind was blowing, bringing a cool feeling.
Everyone was talking and laughing, echoing on the gloomy hillside, which helped to dispel some of the dreariness of the impending rain.
Suddenly, thunder and lightning struck unexpectedly.
The sky seemed to be torn open, and the rain poured down in torrents.
Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden rainstorm and hurriedly packed up their things.
He spread his legs and ran as fast as he could to find a place where he could shelter from the rain.
But the rain was so heavy, like a river bursting its banks.
A few middle-aged women panicked and ran to a big tree not far in front of the compound to shelter from the rain.
Jian Yue had just run back home, turned around and saw this scene, frowning slightly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he shouted at them at the top of his voice, "Aunties, there will be lightning under that tree, don't stand there, leave quickly!"
