Li Yi didn't know that he had become a treasure in some people's hearts. At this time, he was counting the things he bought when he went down the mountain.
In addition to grain, meat and seeds of some common vegetables, he also bought a lot of condiments used in cooking.
He originally thought that the ancients were far inferior to modern people in this regard, but what Li Yi didn't expect was that there were more seasonings and accessories in this era than he had seen in modern times. He was dazzled by the sight and simply bought them all.
Some.
He bought a lot of things. He spent most of the ten taels of silver and had about three taels left. Li Yi did not spend it immediately, leaving some money to deal with unexpected needs.
During breakfast, Liu Ruyi had not come back yet. When Li Yi asked Xiaohuan, the reply he received was that the young lady often does this and the little maid has become accustomed to it.
Li Yi had nothing to worry about Liu Ruyi. He was a hero among heroes who could smash a solid wooden table with one palm. He would not encounter any danger under normal circumstances.
It's just that it's really not a good habit to disappear quietly. Li Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He took out the hawthorns he bought yesterday and walked into the kitchen.
Xiaohuan was washing the dishes in the kitchen when she saw Li Yi walking in. He poured all the icing sugar leftover from the last begging festival into the pot. After adding a little water, he started to cook slowly over low heat.
.
Instructing the little maid to watch the fire and not to burn the syrup, Li Yi cleaned the hawthorns, carefully cut them in half with a knife, took out the seeds inside, polished the prepared bamboo skewers smooth, and set them aside for later use.
.
The little maid sat in front of the stove, her big eyes glancing here from time to time.
"My uncle seems to be making something delicious again..."
The little maid was thinking this in her heart, and began to look forward to the delicious food she was about to eat.
What Li Yi planned to make today was candied haws. There is no candied haws in this world, but in his original world, this was one of the most popular snacks in the world of naughty children and has been popular for thousands of years.
Although in modern times, the types of candied haws have changed a lot, whether it is from the careful selection of raw materials, exquisite packaging, and the use of other fruits instead, the taste of candied haws has been constantly renovated, but there is only one type that is sour.
The sweetness and fragrance that lingers on your lips and teeth can never be replaced.
When Li Yi was a child in his hometown in the countryside, what he was most looking forward to seeing was the hawker who carried a wooden stick with a bulging top and filled with candied haws on it. He walked around in various villages and spent a few cents to buy a candied haws.
I can lick it for half a day.
Later, when I grew up, I never ate it again. When I came to this world, I missed the familiar taste.
When this kind of memory that belongs to him alone appears in this world, he will also get some comfort in his heart.
Not long after, when the sugar syrup in the pot was almost cooked, Li Yi put each hawthorn fruit on a bamboo skewer and rolled it a few times in the pot. The surface of the fruit was covered with a layer of crystal clear sugar coating.
After taking it out of the pot, the sugar quickly solidified, and the world's first bunch of candied haws came out of the oven.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Yi and Xiao Huan squatted at the door, each holding two bunches of candied haws in their hands. They took a bite. After the crispy sound, there was a sweet and sour feeling in their mouths.
It was the first time for the little maid to eat candied haws. She did not bite one bite at a time like Li Yi did. Instead, she stretched out her tongue and licked the sugar coating on the outside. Her heart was filled with sweetness, and her eyes curved into beautiful crescents.
This scene was obviously very tempting. After one glance, Li Yi didn't dare to look at it any more. The actions that a young girl made unintentionally can make people almost lose control. If she grows up, she will still be able to control her.
Come on?
Faced with three beauties at home all day long, Li Yi can still maintain his virginity. Li Yi feels that even if Liu Xiahui is reincarnated, it will be nothing more than this...
"What is this?"
After finishing the two candied haws in his hand, a voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw Liu Ruyi walking over with a candied haws in her hand. The top hawthorn fruit was just
The remaining half had obviously been bitten by her.
"Oh, that's used to poison mice. Arsenic is added to the icing sugar, so you must not eat it." Li Yi said with a stern face as he brushed away a trace of sugar residue from the corner of Liu Ruyi's mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ruyi's expression suddenly changed, and her pretty face immediately turned pale.
"Uncle, one of the candied haws is missing..." At this moment, the little maid took two more bunches of candied haws in her hand and came over with some confusion and said.
Liu Ruyi turned her head and saw what Xiaohuan was holding, with a trace of sugar coating still remaining at the corner of her mouth. When she looked back at Li Yi, her pretty face turned cold, and one hand had already touched the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Li Yi's eyebrows suddenly raised. He was used to teasing Xiao Huan, but he didn't realize that it was the witch Liu Ruyi just now. He stood up suddenly and strode towards the door.
"I remembered, I have to go to school today..."
The little maid was stunned for a moment when she heard this and said, "Uncle, have you forgotten? The school is on holiday today, so you don't have to go..."
"Cough, cough, Xiaohuan, you remembered it wrong..." Li Yi coughed twice, but his steps moved faster. The joke he made casually just now obviously frightened Liu Ruyi. If she became angry, she would be like this
The small body can't stand it.
boom!
Li Yi, who was immersed in his head and hurriedly fled the scene, couldn't prevent himself from bumping into someone. His arms were soft and soft, and he smelled a familiar fragrance in his nose.
Liu Ruyi looked up at her and frowned: "Why are you in such a hurry, sir?"
Li Yi looked up and was about to speak when he suddenly saw blood seeping out of her sleeve where he had hit her just now. He couldn't help but be startled.
Isn't it just a bump? Is it that serious?
Then, he realized something again and hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you injured?"
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" the little maid hurriedly ran out of the courtyard and asked with a panicked look on her face.
Liu Ruyi's figure followed closely behind. Seeing her standing there without any serious problems, he felt a little at ease and asked, "Are you okay?"
Liu Ruyi withdrew her hand without showing a trace, smiled faintly, and said, "It's a small injury, it doesn't matter."
He reached out and handed a small bag of things to Xiaohuan, and said: "There is some food here, please put it in the kitchen."
"With so much blood, what's not in the way!" Li Yi frowned, threw the small bag of food aside, grabbed Liu Ruyi's hand again, and strode towards the house.
"Xiao Huan, go boil some water and bring the small box from my room." Soon a voice came from inside the house.
The little maid nodded sharply and trotted to the kitchen to boil water.
Being dragged into the house by Li Yi, Liu Ruyi opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Inside the house, Li Yi took Liu Ruyi's arm and untied the strips of cloth that she had randomly bandaged. When he saw the two-inch-long wound still oozing blood, Li Yi couldn't help but take a breath.
"How did it hurt?"
Liu Ruyi on the side, after seeing the wound, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
