Chapter 1962: Warmth (1st update)
Luo Fengtang’s face became very ugly when he mentioned the past.
"Zhou Xia is just a cancer that stays around. She can bend and stretch, and hides a knife in her smile."
"I will go find my uncle to have a good talk. Anyway, my uncle is also buried now. "Ask him not to deal with the Zhou family if he has nothing else to do!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "You can go ahead and talk, but remember not to speak too hastily. You know your uncle's character. He appreciates the relationship between brother and sister."
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Don't worry, I know it well."
...
While having dinner, Luo Fengtang came back.
"How was the conversation with your uncle?" Yang Ruoqing came over and asked him while taking a pair of shoes for him to change.
Luo Fengtang said: "Except for the things on the cliff, I almost talked to my uncle about everything else."
"My uncle is also very surprised. I believe he should have known about it."
"Because he said that in the future, if he has anything to do with the Zhou family, he will come over to discuss it with us in advance. ”
Hearing his words, Yang Ruoqing felt relieved.
"Well, that's the end of it. Let's not mention it. Let's go to dinner. I made a new dish tonight, specially left for you to eat." She said.
"Oh? What's the new dish?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, "You'll know when you see it."
The two came to the kitchen together.
Tuoba Xian and Luo Baobao have already eaten, but Yang Ruoqing has not yet. She specially waited for him to come back to eat together.
In the small pot outside the stove, the food is warming.
The two dishes and one soup were quickly placed on the small table in the kitchen. When Luo Fengtang came over with two bowls of rice, Yang Ruoqing had already laid out the chopsticks.
On the small table in the kitchen, candles were lit, spreading warmth.
"Braised pork, gourd mushroom soup, this is... what kind of scrambled eggs are these?" Luo Fengtang looked at the dishes in front of him and asked.
On a white plate, green rhizomes and leafy vegetables are entangled with golden egg yolks.
“This dish is really beautiful. At first glance, it looks like peony flowers.” Luo Fengtang said again.
"Qing'er, I really don't recognize it. What is this dish called?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "You will know after you take a taste!"
As she said that, she raised her chopsticks, picked up a piece of the dish and brought it to his mouth.
"Ah..." she said.
Luo Fengtang smiled, opened his mouth to take it, chewed and felt it carefully in his mouth.
"How is it?" Yang Ruoqing asked again, her eyes shining brightly under the candlelight.
Luo Fengtang said: "It's chewy, but the taste is extremely delicious. It's fresh and refreshing, not greasy."
"But, I still don't know what the dish is." He said.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
“You don’t even recognize this thing growing in front of and behind our house? Hahaha...”
“This is the bud of the toon tree.” She Then he said.
"Toon tree? Can this be eaten too?" Luo Fengtang was obviously surprised.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes, these sprouts are not only edible, delicious, but also have extremely high nutritional value."
"Originally, when they were plucking the sprouts some time ago, It’s best to pick and eat it, but we went to the capital that time and missed it.”< br>
“You went to talk to your uncle in the afternoon, and I was wandering around the yard out of boredom.”
“Suddenly I saw the toon tree that was split by lightning two years ago. There were sprouts sprouting from the top, so I took a handful and scrambled the eggs," she said.
After hearing this, Luo Fengtang suddenly realized.
“I have never heard that these sprouts can be eaten, and they taste so good.” He said.
If I had known it then, I would not have been hungry in the spring. "Why are you standing there? Sit down and eat, otherwise it will get cold." Her urging voice reached his ears.
"Have they eaten, baby?" Luo Fengtang came back to his senses and asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Both mother and baby have eaten it, especially the baby, who seems to like it very much."
"As long as you like it, that's fine." Luo Fengtang said.
Then he put the plate of toon scrambled eggs with two chopsticks into Yang Ruoqing's bowl, and pushed the rest aside with the plate.
His chopsticks held a gourd and he was eating.
Yang Ruoqing discovered that his chopsticks would never touch the plate of toon scrambled eggs again.
"Eat it, I've got a handful left over there. I'll cook it for your daughter tomorrow."
She smiled and held two chopsticks for him.
Luo Fengtang raised his eyes and looked at her, "I can eat anything else..."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Oh, stop whining, you are a man, just be happy!"< br>
Luo Fengtang’s head is covered with black lines.
Whether he is a man or not, others don’t know, but she still doesn’t know?
Seeing the glimmer of something passing through his eyes, Yang Ruoqing's face turned red.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly. If you have other thoughts, you might as well think about whether there are any toon trees sprouting buds in front of and behind the village." She said.
Luo Fengtang nodded readily, "Okay, I'll go look for it early tomorrow."
......
It has been cloudy and cloudy for several days, and it lasted until the Dragon Boat Festival.
Yang Ruoqing got up early on purpose, followed Wang Cuilian and Sun to the fields, and cut several bundles of calamus and mugwort.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, calamus and mugwort are placed on the doors and windows. The old tradition of farmers says that this can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.
From a correct perspective, it is actually because the weather is getting hotter and humid during the Dragon Boat Festival.
In this environment, various bacteria can easily breed.
Moreover, mosquitoes, rats, ants, etc. have also begun to become active.
They carry a large number of bacteria and pose a threat to human health.
All things are interdependent, and plants such as calamus and mugwort have the effect of restraining these.
Just like a snake, its whole body becomes soft when encountering realgar. Even the White Lady, who has been practicing for thousands of years, will show her true form.
Okay, I’m going too far.
Let's talk about Yang Ruoqing's planting of mugwort and calamus that were still wet with dew in the two houses, as well as in the old Luo family's old house.
Then she returned to her home.
Uncle Luo Blacksmith and aunt Wang Cuilian were invited to come here to celebrate the festival together.
Coupled with Tuoba Xian, Yan Huai'an, and Xiao Yaxue's Narisong couple, Yang Ruoqing planned to prepare a feast to celebrate the festival with her relatives and friends.
The variety of dishes had been in her mind two days ago.
Just now, she took the time to go to the vegetable garden and picked a lot of seasonal vegetables.
I will show off my skills later.
Tuoba Xian and Xiao Yaxue took care of their children full-time, and Wang Cuilian came over to help Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, are you serious about Lan Yatou and Ahao not coming over to eat at noon?" Wang Cuilian asked while washing rice.
“It’s time to wash the rice and put it into the pot, but you have to say it right, otherwise there won’t be enough food later.” She added.
Yang Ruoqing was tinkering with some ingredients with her back to Wang Cuilian.
Hearing this, he said without looking back: "That's right, I won't come over."
