Chapter 36 Food and Love

 “Erlang, where is your eldest brother?” Qin Yao asked doubtfully.

Erlang had already washed his hands and was scooping water for Sanlang and Siniang to wash. Hearing this, he replied: "I'm still catching fish in the river."

Qin Yao asked curiously: "Did they catch any fish today?"

Si Niang rushed to say: "Eldest brother didn't catch it, but my uncle and Brother Jinbao did!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, so Dalang doesn’t plan to go home for dinner if he doesn’t catch fish?

I was about to go to the river to call the child back, but he came back on his own.

In his hand, he still held the tree branch that Qin Yao had made for him before, but it was empty and there was no trace of fish.

"Dad, Auntie." Dalang called someone sadly, carefully placed the branch under the eaves, washed his hands dejectedly, and then went into the house to eat.

Liu Ji gloated and poked Dalang's arm with chopsticks, "What happened? Didn't you catch any fish?"

“Siniang said that both Liu Fei and Jin Bao were caught. Aren’t you two together? Seeing as you didn’t catch them, why didn’t they tell you apart and let you come back empty-handed?”

Dalang was already unhappy because he didn't catch any fish. But when his father said this, he became even more silent.

Liu Ji wanted to say something more, but Qin Yao's faint eyes glanced over, then she shut up, picked up vegetables and ate.

Qin Yao said to Dalang: "If you can't catch it today, continue to catch it tomorrow. You will eventually catch it. Don't worry."

Dalang raised his head from the bowl, glanced at her with his black and white eyes, and nodded "Yes".

There was no meat tonight. I don’t know where Liu Ji bought eggs. He scrambled a plate of eggs and cooked a bowl of vegetables.

 Forget about the appearance, Qin Yao already felt grateful that it was moderately salty.

  Judging from the meals Liu Ji prepared in the past two days, this girl doesn’t know how to cook at all!

 But people can learn it even if they don’t know it.

So, after dinner, Qin Yao made some suggestions and requests about Liu Ji's cooking skills in the past two days, hoping that he could continue to improve.

She spoke kindly, but she was wiping a short knife that had not been used for a few days and was a little dusty on her hand.

 How could Liu Ji dare to say no?

I could only say continuously: "Yes, yes, yes, madam, you are right!"

After the Dalang brothers and sisters finished washing and went back to the house to sleep, Qin Yao came to the stove and said to Liu Ji who was applying medicine on his face:

“Tomorrow you go to Xiahe Village with me and buy the tiles back.”

There were no lights outside the house, and the night in the countryside was so dark that it was hard to see. A person suddenly appeared behind him, which frightened Liu Ji so much that he almost put the medicine in his hand into his nostrils.

He turned around sharply and saw that it was Qin Yao. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said flatteringly: "Madam, you who are silent and silent are scary to death."

Qin Yao left after finishing her words without even bothering to give him another look.

Liu Ji shouted at the departing figure, but immediately became worried about tomorrow's lunch.

With them all gone, who will make lunch for the helpers?

Qin Yao had already arranged this matter. When she went to the village to buy wood in the afternoon, she dropped by the old house and asked her sister-in-law He to prepare lunch.

Although He didn't have much dealings with Qin Yao, every time he dealt with Qin Yao, he never suffered any loss, so he happily agreed.

 Early the next morning.

After eating the tasteless noodle soup breakfast made by Liu Ji, Qin Yao took out the food for today's lunch separately and put it on the stove. She asked the good man Erlang to lock the door of the main room and then took it for self-defense. Dantao heads to Xiahe Village.

Liu Ji has always been a restless person, and staying in the village these days has been killing him.

I can go out today, even if I have to follow Qin Yao, this evil woman, I still feel uncontrollably happy.

 Perhaps it was because Qin Yao didn't do anything to him after seeing how terrible his cooking was in the past two days.

Liu Ji became bolder and talked a lot along the way.

 “Madam, why do you always carry this broken knife?”

“My wife, you are naturally beautiful, but this knife is not worthy of your temperament.”

 Qin Yao ignored it. "Madam, I heard from Dalang and the others that you hunted a black bear in the mountains last time. This bear was sold for a lot of money, right? Do you have one hundred taels?"

"But it's all my fault. If you hadn't paid off my debt, you wouldn't have gone into the mountains to take this risk..."

Qin Yao still ignored it.

　　It wasn’t until Liu Ji kept talking for an hour without stopping that Qin Yao glanced at him irritably, “Can’t you just shut your mouth?”

 Liu Ji immediately pursed his lips.

 The injury on his face healed quickly, and now there is only a little blue mark left.

His hair was pulled up on top of his head with a burning branch, and the ends of his hair that couldn't be pulled in were scattered casually to the side. He looked carefree and unserious, and his demeanor was arrogant.

However, this kind of scoundrel is not cruel and careless, but a coward who loves both food and love.

 At first glance, you can see that you don’t have a clear understanding of yourself, and you think you have a superior temperament and unparalleled beauty.

"Let me ask you, do they all say you are good-looking?" Qin Yao asked.

Liu Ji immediately laughed and asked in surprise: "Madam, how do you know?"

 Have you finally discovered that he is good-looking and decided to treat him well?

Qin Yao snorted lightly and said firmly: "They are trying to kill you."

 Liu Ji: "."

 “Go faster!” Qin Yao urged coldly.

 Liu Ji hurriedly followed up with resentment.

 She is definitely jealous, jealous of his beauty!

Qin Yao suddenly remembered something and pointed at his face, "Why did Lin Erbao only hit you in the face? What did you do in those days when you were taken away?"

Mother-in-law Zhang said that Lin Erbao didn't want his life and only asked people to work in the mines to pay off the debt. Logically speaking, there was no reason for Liu Ji to be beaten into a pig's head.

Unexpectedly, she would ask this question suddenly. Liu Ji's expression suddenly stiffened and he said perfunctorily:

 “They are jealous of my handsome appearance.”

Because his face was so attractive to women, the eldest girl and his wife in the mine would give him delicious food from time to time. The supervisor's wife also asked the supervisor to assign some easy jobs to him.

 Do you think these men must be mad?

They were worried that the soul of their mother-in-law would be taken away, so they drove her away from the mine.

Poor him, just talk to the women, tease the big girl and little daughter -in -law, these men can't tolerate him.

 Sure enough, when men become jealous, they become much crazier than women!

Thinking of this, Liu Ji said "Bah!" and spat into the grass next to him, as if he was spitting on the faces of those ugly men in the mine.

Qin Yao glanced at the angry Liu Ji suspiciously, "Are you sure you didn't do anything?"

 Liu Ji's face is indeed very good, but his temperament is too poor to achieve the effect of making people jealous at all.

 Liu Ji puffed up his chest confidently, "Of course!"

Qin Yao twitched the corner of her mouth, and she reluctantly believed it.

 While talking, Xiahe Village arrived.

Liu Ji was very attentive and took the initiative to talk to the villagers. He asked for the specific direction of the Wayao and enthusiastically led Qin Yao there.

 When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Qin Yao has never seen him so active when cooking.

Sure enough, when she first arrived at Wayao and saw the charming proprietress here, Qin Yao understood.

As soon as he met the landlady, Liu Ji began to say nice words as if she was asking for money.

The landlady felt offended, so she looked up and saw that he looked so good. She, who had always been aggressive, couldn't help but feel a hint of shyness on her face.

Seeing Liu Jide reaching out and trying to touch someone's hand, Qin Yao's slap came quickly and violently!

 There was a crisp sound of "Pa!", and just hearing the intensity made others couldn't help but tremble.

Liu Ji held the back of his hand, which was quickly red and swollen, and gritted his teeth to hold back the tears brewing from the stinging pain in his eyes.

　　Silently retreated behind Qin Yao.

Look up at the sky and inhale secretly.
