Sure enough, when Lu Lu was still dozens of meters away from the cellar, he saw Chen Xiuyu emerging from the cellar holding a wooden basin.
Except for some bacon and tools, there was nothing valuable in the cellar. Therefore, when Lu Lu went out, he simply secured it with a stick to prevent some small animals from entering.
Some of the furs hanging out in the fairy pillar were actually more valuable. He didn't close the door, and with the ingot there, he wasn't worried at all.
"Old girl!" Lu Lu shouted happily.
Chen Xiuyu suddenly heard a voice and was startled. She turned around and patted her chest: "Brother Lu, you scared me."
She put down the wooden basin and ran over to help Lu Lu: "You have an injury on your foot, why are you still running around?"
"I can't wait any longer!" Lu Lu said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
"My brother went back and told me that you had injured your foot and had difficulty moving. I was worried that it would be troublesome to do anything alone here, so he asked me to come over and help with cooking. I just steamed the rice.
Go... I saw that you liked eating thorn sprouts when you were at my house. I picked some for you when I came over. I was about to take them out, wash them, blanch them and fry them for you to make a side dish. "
Now facing Lu Lu, Chen Xiuyu still seemed very shy and her voice was weak.
As she spoke, she helped Lu Lu enter the cellar and let him sit down on the bed.
There are several miles between Xiushan Village and Dixiangzi. This large forest seems peaceful, but no one knows when some unstoppable and dangerous things will pop up, which can be dangerous.
"It's okay, you don't need your feet to kill a pheasant!" Lu Lu said with a smile.
This also led to Lu Lu saying it without thinking when Chen Xiuyu mentioned it.
Lu Lu has already deep-fried the pheasant, so there is no need to use the thorn sprouts to stir-fry, making it a cold dish, which is more refreshing and delicious.
Chen Xiuyu said a little arrogantly.
We can't let her good intentions go to waste by not letting her do anything, which will only make her uncomfortable.
After marrying Lu Lu, she often showed off in front of Lu Lu.
He desperately hoped to see Chen Xiuyu at any time, but this would invisibly increase the burden on her.
Carrying a wild wolf through the countryside, this happened to a little girl, which aroused the admiration of everyone who saw her.
Now is the time when we are busy preparing for spring plowing, and there are a lot of things going on in the fields. Chen Xiuqing is injured and can't do much for the time being. Chen Xiuyu and Ma Jinlan have a lot of work in the fields.
After the thorn shoots were cooked, Chen Xiuyu felt that she had nothing to do, so she stood up and said, "Brother Lu, I can't help you here, so... I'm going back!"
"Brother Lu, how are you going to eat this pheasant? Should it be stewed or..." Chen Xiuyu asked after cleaning the pheasant.
Being disabled does not mean that the wolf is easy to mess with. Chen Xiuyu spent a lot of effort and beat the wolf to death and carried it home.
The burden of daily life is all on her, and she has no time to spare. She doesn't know how to share the burden, which is heartbreaking.
Lu Lu looked at this hard-working figure and felt inexplicably moved, as if he had returned to his previous life.
Take out the chicken and put the remaining oil in the pot into a bowl. Lu Lu puts a ladle of water into the pot, slides the chicken into the pot, closes the lid and simmers.
He took over the fried pheasant by the way, but Chen Xiuyu couldn't get involved for a while. After thinking about it, she took the blanched thorn sprouts and went to make a cold salad.
"Then you are looking down on me. Don't forget, my dad is also the best hunter. When I was a child, I saw all kinds of wild beasts. I also heard my dad tell a lot about hunting. I even killed a wolf myself. I
Don’t be afraid!”
Lu Lu smiled and said: "If there is less oil, it will be difficult to fry. It will easily stick to the bottom of the pot."
Lu Lu smiled, got up and dragged a stool to sit by the earthen stove, took a basin, poured hot water, and took out the freshly caught pheasant to remove its feathers and clean it.
"Brother Lu, why don't you take a good rest...let me do it!" Chen Xiuyu wanted to step forward to help.
Lu Lu blurted out.
"First fry, par-fry and then add water to boil."
In fact, in his previous life, he married into Chen Xiuyu's house, and Chen Xiuyu told him when the couple were lying on the kang and chatting.
The more considerate she is, the more she feels indebted to Lu Lu at this time.
This can be regarded as Chen Xiuyu’s highlight moment.
After Chen Xiuyu finished speaking, she quickly got out of the cellar and went to clean the thorn buds.
Lu Lu thought for a moment and said, "The oil is in the earthen jar against the wall."
At that time, it was considered normal, but after seeing it again, Lu Lu suddenly felt that he was really shameful.
Especially now, when the food is ready and it's dark when we go back, it's even more dangerous.
"Okay!" Chen Xiuyu responded and quickly chopped the pheasant into small pieces on the wooden pier on the table.
Two years ago, when Chen Xiuyu was sixteen years old, she went to the mountains to collect wild vegetables. She encountered a wild wolf in the forest. She was scared out of her wits at that time. However, it was later discovered that the wolf was so fierce that its lower body was drooping.
On the ground, it is difficult to move.
Chen Xiuyu swallowed her saliva: "Did you put too much oil in this?"
Moreover, running back and forth like this will waste a lot of time, and the work at home will definitely be delayed a lot.
After discovering this situation, she got a big wooden stick and chased the wild wolf and beat him wildly.
After hearing what Lu Lu said, Chen Xiuyu couldn't leave, so she could only sit down by the earthen stove, and the two of them kept talking.
"Sister, this is just a minor injury. It will heal in a few days. No need to bother you to run so far. It's dangerous in the mountains. You, a girl, come all the way. I'm not worried. In the future...
It’s better not to come here in the future, I can take care of myself.”
Lu Lu was conflicted, and more importantly, she couldn't bear it.
She was used to saving over the years, so she couldn't bear to put in more pork suet. Seeing this, Lu Lu jumped over again, shoveled a lot of it with a spatula and put it into the pot. Under Chen Xiuyu's surprised eyes, he quickly put the chicken in.
But Chen Xiuyu had already caught the pheasant. He was stunned for a moment, then got up and went back to the bed to sit down and watched Chen Xiuyu clean the pheasant and disembowel it.
This is considered vigorous, at least for a girl of this age.
After the rice was steamed, she fried the thorn sprouts in the rice steaming water. After taking them out, Chen Xiuyu cleaned the iron pot, took out the earthen pot, and carefully scooped a little oil into the pot.
"No, the food will be cooked soon. You have to eat before leaving anyway. If you leave like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to your house for dinner in the future!" Lu Lu quickly stopped her with words.
Lu Lu was really worried.
"That's just a cripple that was picked up by a wild boar and injured to the waist. If you encounter an uninjured wolf, try it!"
"Don't worry about me anyway!"
Seeing Chen Xiuyu busy pouring water for herself, and fiddling with the firewood in the earth stove, she was ready to go out and continue washing the thorn buds.
When Chen Xiuyu washed the thorn buds and returned, Lu Lu had already trimmed the pheasant feathers and was burning the down on the earthen stove.
"Uh... I also heard what others said." Lu Lu said vaguely.
For a long time, it became something that people talked about after dinner.
It's rare for Chen Xiuyu to come here, so the oil and water must be heavier. There is a shortage of oil these days, especially pork suet. The price is not low, so I don't want to eat it. If you put more, it will be more fragrant.
Originally, some simple little things could make her happy, but she was only busy making money and ignored these.
Chen Xiuyu's eyes suddenly widened: "How did you know?"
Every time he took time off to come home after finishing his business in other places, Chen Xiuyu would take care of him like this, serving him like an uncle.
The oil beads made a sizzling sound in the pot, and the pheasant meat was gradually fried until it turned golden. After Lu Lu added the chili pepper segments and aniseed, the aroma spread, making it look very special in this small cellar.
Tempting.
Lu Lu's words sounded in Chen Xiuyu's heart, but they meant something else: Is he asking about me?
Thinking of this, her face began to burn a little again.
After simmering for about twenty minutes, the fragrant pheasant meat comes out of the pot.
Compared with the local chicken at home, pheasant meat seems a bit raw, but it cannot withstand the infiltration of oil and aniseed, making the taste very exciting.
When two people ate, they didn’t need to prepare too much. After adding rice, they sat down at the small table. Chen Xiuyu ate delicately and was embarrassed to talk or use chopsticks. Lu Lu immediately seized the opportunity and kept picking up the good meat for her.
Put in a bowl.
This also made Chen Xiuyu rub her belly frequently when she packed up the pots and pans and returned to Xiushantun... she was full!
