Lan Qiao did not keep Li Jingshu waiting, and quickly found the most delicious ingredients at the moment: the four front paws of two big bears.

He cleaned up the scene outside the door as quickly as possible, dragged the bodies of the two bears into the dense forest behind the cabin, and broke off some branches and leaves of the big trees to cover them up. Finally, he took off the bear paws and walked back to the door of the cabin and said, "The bonfire by the lake."

It shouldn't be out yet, I'll roast it and bring it back to you."

Li Jingshu said softly, "Wait a minute, let's go with you."

"But you" Lan Qiao wanted to say, "How can you go if you can't move", but suddenly remembered what happened just now, and worried that she would encounter any danger again while he was away, he nodded and said, "Okay, let me carry you over."

."

"Thank you, sir." Li Jingshu responded softly, "Although I am embarrassed, if I wait in this room, I will be even more disrespectful to you."

Lan Qiao thought about it and said with a smile, "There is no need to say more. I am very happy to share the delicious food with you." He stretched out his arms, passed one hand through Li Jingshu's knees, and reached in from behind with the other hand.

Pick her up and walk out the door.

He followed the forest path back to the place where they had stayed by the lake not long ago. At this time, the bonfire was almost extinguished. Lan Qiao sat Li Jingshu down and hurriedly lit the fire with a fire stick, and then

After adding a few new pieces of firewood, he turned to her and said, "Okay, now let me show you my craftsmanship."

Li Jingshu smiled relaxedly and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

Lan Qiao then pierced the bear's paw with a fire stick and stretched it over the bonfire to roast it. As he slowly rotated the stick, he joked, "The smell of your socks is still here, which is perfect for preventing mosquitoes."

Li Jingshu refused and said, "Young Master is joking. I have taken too much medicine, and my physique is different from ordinary people."

Lan Qiao didn't want her to be too embarrassed, so he changed the subject and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Are you feeling better now?"

Unexpectedly, Li Jingshu nodded slightly and said, "I can move a little bit, but I still don't have the strength to stand up."

Lan Qiao comforted her and said, "It's okay. Eat something to regain some strength. You should be able to get better faster."

Those bear paws were very plump, and when heated, they became "sizzling" with oily flowers, and a wisp of oily smoke spread mistyly.

Li Jingshu's nose moved, her eyes lit up and she said, "I smell the fragrance, it smells so good."

"It'll be ready soon." Lan Qiao said, sticking the fire stick diagonally on the ground next to the fire, letting the flames burn the bear's paws strung on it from the side, "I'll go over there and pick some leaves."

"Leaves" Li Jingshu said with surprise before Lan Qiao nimbly climbed up a big tree more than ten steps away and picked a cluster of fresh young leaves from the top of the tree.

He jumped back to Li Jingshu and said with a smile, "Although I have never known the name of this tree, countless experiences have proved that using these leaves to wrap meat rolls is extremely delicious." As he said this, he baked the meat from the outside.

He tore off a piece of meat from the bear's paw, carefully rolled it with leaves and handed it to Li Jingshu's mouth. She smiled and said, "Open your mouth and have a taste."

Li Jingshu obediently opened her mouth slightly. Lan Qiao was afraid that she would be burned, so he blew on the meat roll again, and then fed the meat roll into her mouth bit by bit.

After chewing it carefully, Li Jingshu said with emotion, "It's really delicious. Well, I'm not saying this just because I'm afraid you'll be unhappy. Cut me another piece."

"As long as you like it." Lan Qiao tore off the second piece of bear paw, wrapped it in leaves and gave it to Li Jingshu to eat.

Li Jingshu closed her eyes and said slowly while savoring the taste, "If this bear paw is eaten alone, it is delicious but may be a little greasy, but if it is paired with the slightly bitter but crisp leaves, it is like a match made in heaven."

, complement each other.”

Lan Qiao smiled and tore off another piece of meat, rolled it with leaves, took a bite and said, "Especially the gelatin part of the bear's paw. I heard it helps girls stay young."

"Really? Then I have to eat more. Master, please don't laugh at me because I'm greedy."

"Enough care"

One bear paw was quickly eaten, followed soon by the second, and by the time the third and fourth were eaten, Lan Qiao sat down cross-legged with satisfaction, but Li Jingshu was still eating with relish.

A cluster of leaves was also eaten, so Lan Qiao went to pick another cluster. When he came back, he saw Li Jingshu still eating and said with a smile, "It seems you are really hungry."

Li Jingshu glanced at him with a hint of shame and said, "The delicacies carefully prepared by the young master, I can't let them go to waste, can I?"

Lan Qiao watched Li Jingshu finish the last bear paw and couldn't help but ask, "Are you full?"

Li Jingshu said nothing.

"Then let me ask in a different way. Maybe it's a bit presumptuous." Lan Qiao asked again, "I dare to ask the girl if she agrees with me."

Li Jingshu glared at Lan Qiao and said, "I am now living alone, and I have worked so hard to open a small pharmacy. I usually have to diagnose patients' pulses and prescribe medicine, so how can I have time to get married?"

"Oh, that's right." Lan Qiao smiled and said, "If you eat with others in the future, you'd better restrain yourself. If your future husband's family sees it, they may not be able to support you."

Li Jingshu rolled her eyes, as if she realized at this moment that Lan Qiao was laughing at her for eating too much, and said angrily, "I told you not to laugh at others, huh, the bear paws grilled by Master are so delicious, how can you do that?"

Blame me for eating too much”

"Then do you want some more?" Lan Qiao leaned back and leaned on a big rock behind him in a comfortable posture. "You won't be able to get married for the time being, so it's better to enjoy yourself now."

"Who said I can't get married?" Li Jingshu glanced at Lanqiao with a deep look, "There are so many people who like me, and they can queue up outside Jingzhou City, but I don't like that kind of husband-to-child relationship

It’s just a restricted life of serving your parents-in-law, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

Lan Qiao joked to her, "Who said you can't have both fish and bear's paws? You've already eaten bear's paws today, do you dare to eat another piece of grilled fish?"

Li Jingshu snorted softly and said, "If you dare to get a fish to grill, I will eat it. For this beautiful thing, I will risk my life today."

"It's so refreshing." Lan Qiao laughed and gave Li Jingshu a thumbs up, picked up the fire stick and walked towards the lake.

"Keep an eye on it, don't show off," Li Jingshu warned, "Don't let the fish catch you instead of being caught by it."

As a veteran with long experience in the world, Lan Qiao would never capsize on such a trivial matter as fishing. Not long after, he heard his whistle, and he had inserted a blueback fish weighing more than two kilograms with a fire stick.

He rubbed his hands on both sides of the fish, and the internal force contained in his palms peeled off all the fish scales wherever his palms passed. He then repeatedly massaged the left and right sides of the fish a few times, and said proudly, "Anything that passes through my

The fish processed with special techniques not only has firm and delicate fish flesh, but also the fish bones can be separated automatically, saving you the trouble of spitting out the bones."

"Is it true?" Li Jingshu looked disbelieving, "Master, please don't try to coax me."

"Look if you don't believe me." Lan Qiao scratched the fish belly with his fingernails, then used two strands of Qi from his fingertips to cut through the fish body, split the fish body into two equal halves, and then easily took out a complete set of fish bones.

Li Jingshu was envious and somewhat admired and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite powerful. Why didn't I see you show your skills when I was at Uncle Xu's Yaolu before?"

Lan Qiao listened to her voluntarily mentioning the past, and while skewering the fish meat on the fire stick again, he laughed to himself and said, "I'm also afraid."

Li Jingshu was startled and said, "What are you afraid of?"
