MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 81
The slightly callused fingertips brushed the soft lips.
Shen Fengming practiced martial arts, and his five senses were far more sensitive than ordinary people. He only touched it lightly, and he knew that those lips were softer and more tender than the cherry next to him.
Jiang Yunzhu raised her head, her small fan-like eyelashes flickered twice.
Shen Fengming originally wanted to withdraw his hand, but it could be seen that she was like this, so he lightly rubbed her lips with his fingertips.
"Mr. Shen." Jiang Yunzhu whispered, took a step back, and leaned half on the cherry tree. Her face is like peach petals, her eyes are like autumn water, but the cherries that are full of trees are not as delicate and charming as hers.
Shen Fengming's eyes were as deep as the sea, staring at her, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't dare to look at him, she grabbed the tree trunk behind her tightly, turned her face away and said, "Mr. Shen, please respect yourself."
"You got something on your lips." Shen Fengming raised his finger and showed it to Jiang Yunzhu. I saw that there was indeed a little broken cherry leaf on it, and the green leaf was very conspicuous in his hand.
Afterwards, Shen Fengming raised his hand and took a bigger leaf from her head, "I just wanted to help you take it off."
So Shen Fengming just wanted to help her take off the cherry leaf, but when she turned around suddenly, she bumped into his hand. Then, he helped her take off the leaf on her lips?
Jiang Yunzhu's face turned red, so she made him "self-respect" just now?
"Sorry, I..." She misunderstood.
Shen Fengming said, "I was the one who was abrupt."
Jiang Yunzhu didn't know what to say, "Mr. Shen's illness is cured, when will you return to Beijing?"
Shen Fengming knew that he made her uneasy.
"It's time to return to Beijing in a few days," he said.
He was retreating, and he knew it.
He was leaving, the thought flashed through Jiang Yunzhu's mind. Yes, he will definitely leave, it's just a matter of time.
"If Miss Jiang is willing, you can visit the capital with me." Shen Fengming said.
Perhaps realizing that Shen Fengming will leave soon, Jiang Yunzhu suddenly relaxed, the two of them are like people from two worlds, they will be separated sooner or later, so why think too much.
"Forget it." Jiang Yunzhu smiled, and then she said, "The cherries are delicious, Mr. Shen, try them?"
Shen Fengming was kind, picked a few cherries from the side, washed them with pool water, twisted one with his fingers, and put it in his mouth.
His hands were as long as bamboo, and he was twisting a ruddy cherry, which matched the red and white, giving people a stunning feeling. Especially, when the cherry was put into his mouth, the drops of water on the cherry stained his lips, making the red lips more and more gorgeous.
The sweet and sour cherries are really delicious, Shen Fengming stood by the pool, the pool water reflected in his eyes, it seemed to be shining.
His face is compelling, and he is handsome and stern.
Jiang Yunzhu looked away and put a cherry in his mouth, but felt that it was not as delicious as before.
Let's pick some and go back to make food. She put the remaining few in her mouth into her mouth, asked He Ying to bring the basket, and started picking cherries.
"I'll help you." Shen Fengming said, and then he also came over to pick cherries.
There is a branch of cherry on the high place that is so red that Jiang Yunzhu can't reach it even on tiptoe. At this time, a hand stretched out from the side to help her pick the branch of cherry.
"Thank you." Jiang Yunzhu said.
"Miss Jiang is too polite." Shen Fengming said.
Still as before, "Go back and cook something delicious for you."
"En." Shen Fengming said with a smile.
The two continued to pick cherries. Occasionally, Shen Fengming's hand would touch Jiang Yunzhu's, but this time Jiang Yunzhu didn't make any fuss.
The five baskets he brought were all full, and there were still many cherries on the tree.
"Let's come back tomorrow." Shen Fengming said.
Only then did Jiang Yunzhu stop, feeling thirsty and tired.
She brought water and food, and asked He Ying to get them from the carriage. At this time, she was sitting by the pool, but found that there were fish in the pool.
"It's a peach blossom carp." Jiang Yunzhu said in surprise after taking a closer look.
It is recorded in "Benxinzhai Recipe" that the peach blossom carp can only grow in places with clean and clear water. Because the body is light red, like a peach blossom, it is called peach blossom carp. This kind of fish is tender and delicious, which is a rare good product. It is a pity that it cannot be cultivated, nor can it grow in large rivers, so few people encounter it, and after encountering it, it will be caught and wiped out soon.
In the seven years of Jiang Yunzhu's dream, she only spent a lot of money to buy it once in the capital. She didn't expect to meet her here today, and it looks like a lot.
The pool is not deep, immediately, she wished she could take off her shoes and socks and go down to fish by herself.
This is actually nothing in modern times. But Shen Fengming is still by the side...
Is she really anxious, otherwise, let He Ying go back and get a fishing net?
At this time there was the sound of water, it turned out that Shen Fengming took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and went down into the pool.
The water in this pool looks very shallow, but it is actually half a meter deep. The peach blossom carps are very clever in it. If ordinary people go down, it will be difficult to catch them. But Shen Fengming stood there for a while, waiting for a few peach blossom carps to swim over tentatively, he stabbed one with a dagger, and threw it to the shore.
The color of the peach blossom carp was even brighter when it was out of the water, Jiang Yunzhu hurried to the side, picked it up, then looked at Shen Fengming, hoping he could catch a few more.
Shen Fengming moved very quickly, within a short while, he had already caught seven or eight.
"Enough." Jiang Yunzhu hurriedly said, this kind of fish will die soon after leaving the original growth environment, and the taste will change. Catch too much is a waste.
Shen Fengming went ashore.
Looking at the seven or eight fish, Jiang Yunzhu missed her spatula very much. Steamed, braised or grilled are all excellent.
They should go back immediately, so they should have time to do it, right?
"I'll bake it for you." Shen Fengming said.
Jiang Yunzhu raised his eyes, he can grill fish?
"Outside, when I often meet people who can't go to the village or back to the store, I will make food for myself." Shen Fengming said, already put on his shoes, and went to pick up firewood nearby.
Then he took out the fire folder, and lit a bonfire in no time.
At this time, he took the dagger, went to the pool, quickly processed the fish, then skewered them on the branches, and put them on the fire to roast.
After a while, the tail of the fish was slightly raised, and the fish began to emit fragrance.
At this moment, Jiang Yunzhu saw Shen Fengming take out a box from a buckskin pocket on his waist, open it, there was salt in it, and sprinkled it on the grilled fish finely, the aroma became several times stronger.
The young masters of the Xia Dynasty like to hang some sachets, incense balls, pouches and other things around their waists. Shen Fengming also has a few things around his waist. Jiang Yunzhu didn't pay attention to it before. Now, she is a little curious about what is in those pockets.
"Do you want to see it?" Sensing her gaze, Shen Fengming reached out to take a small pocket at his waist.
There are all kinds of things in his pockets, many of which are specially developed and equipped by Qilinwei, just to deal with various emergencies.
Jiang Yunzhu actually wanted to see it very much, and she also guessed that there should be many magical things in it.
"No need." But she quickly shook her head and said, she was afraid that he would mention the word Qilinwei.
Shen Fengming only thought that she didn't want to be too intimate with him, so he withdrew his hand and continued to grill the fish.
The peach blossom carp itself has a faint fragrance, and it doesn't need any seasoning to make it delicious.
After a while, the grilled fish was ready, Shen Fengming handed the fish to Jiang Yunzhu.
"Young Master Shen, eat it yourself, this skewer is almost ready." Jiang Yunzhu said.
But Shen Fengming said, "It's agreed, I'll bake it for you." As he spoke, he picked up the skewer and continued to roast it skillfully.
Jiang Yunzhu had no choice but to pick up the skewer of grilled fish and ate it bit by bit.
This peach blossom carp is really delicious.
After returning to Qishanju in the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu cleaned the cherries and put them in a pot to cook.
While cooking, add rock sugar.
Soon, the cherry will be separated from the flesh and core. At this time, filter them again to get fine pulp.
Boil for a while, when the water is less, a pot of cherry sauce is ready.
In ancient times, there was no refrigerator, and the fresh cherries could not be kept for too long, so they could only be made into sauce for preservation.
Thinking that the tea was not cold and it had been a long time since new desserts were served, Jiang Yunzhu looked at the pot of cherry sauce and thought about it.
Before going to bed at night, soak the glutinous rice. The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu got up very early, steamed the soaked glutinous rice in a steamer, and pounded it into dough after steaming until soft and rotten. Knead the dough until smooth, break it into small pieces, roll it out with a rolling pin, put a little cherry sauce in it, wrap the dough well, roll it in cooked glutinous rice flour, and a glutinous rice dumpling is ready.
"Girl, this thing is so pretty." He Ying, who had been working by the side, immediately praised the dumpling when he saw the dumpling.
No, the snow-white skin of this dumpling is filled with bright red cherry sauce, red in white, really like a beauty noodle.
"It's still delicious." Jiang Yunzhu smiled.
"Girl..." He Ying called out.
She looks heroic and is taller than ordinary women. She usually follows Jiang Yunzhu and helps her carry things to block passers-by.
"Let's eat." Jiang Yunzhu said, but she didn't realize that she was still a foodie.
"The girl eats first." He Ying remembered her.
"You eat first, I'm not in a hurry." Jiang Yunzhu teased her.
He Ying's cheeks were slightly red, and she took a dumpling and put it in her hand. She felt that it was cold, slippery and soft, cute and beautiful, and she was reluctant to eat it.
Finally, unable to resist the temptation, she picked up the dumpling and bit down.
The fragrant glutinous rice skin is soft and elastic, and the cherry sauce inside is sweet and sour. When you eat the two together, you can only feel saliva, and there is no such delicious thing.
She stuffed the remaining half of the dumpling into her mouth in one gulp, her cheeks puffed up slightly, like a hamster.
Jiang Yunzhu looked amused.
At this time, Shen Fengming came out from the door, and Jiang Yunzhu called him from the kitchen, "Young Master Shen, do you want to try the newly made glutinous rice dumplings?"
Her voice was so clear, and when she yelled out in such a morning, Shen Fengming felt that his mood improved a lot.
He stepped into the kitchen.
Jiang Yunzhu handed him a freshly made dumpling, "I made it from the cherries I picked yesterday, and I told you I'll make it delicious for you." After speaking, she picked up the ending slightly, as if with joy.
A smile was also on Shen Fengming's face, he took the glutinous rice dumpling, took a bite, revealing the bright red cherry sauce inside, paired with the dumpling that bullied Shuang Saixue, it looked like a beautiful sandalwood mouth.
He looked up and looked at Jiang Yunzhu.
"How is it, taste?" Jiang Yunzhu asked.
"Delicious." Shen Fengming said, and took another bite of the dumpling. The dumplings are soft, glutinous and smooth, which is really hard to put it down.
Today, the tea is not cold and there are new pastries, glutinous rice dumpling, a plate of four costs 20 Wen.
To be honest, it is a bit expensive, but after the first person ordered it, everyone was immediately conquered when they saw the dumpling. Beautiful and exquisite pastries, of course, are like alluring beauties, priceless.
Everyone is talented, looking at the dumpling, immediately became very poetic.
"The sandalwood mouth is full of smiles, and the spring breeze is blowing to make you happy." Someone looked at the dumpling and praised.
"Fine halo and light sandalwood mouth, heavy makeup and powdery cheeks." Some people are not to be outdone.
"The pink face is slightly red, the sandalwood lips are shy, and the smile is fragrant." Someone also laughed.
…
Once this dumpling was launched, it became very popular, and Jiang Yunzhu had to raise the price once. Those wild cherries are not many, but they can't stand the sale like this.
But what she didn't expect was that after the price increase, more people would buy it.
At this time, Lin Tingan also placed a plate of this kind of dumpling in front of him. He picked up one with his slender fingers, took a bite, watched the little bit of bright red cherry sauce flow out, his handsome eyebrows lightly raised.
"Are you ready?" He asked Lin Qing.
"It's all over, Eldest Young Master." Lin Qing said respectfully.
Lin Ting'an put the dumpling in his hand into his mouth, got up and walked out. He is determined to succeed in today's matter.
He stepped into a teahouse in the west of the city, and several people inside immediately stood up in a hurry.
"Young Master." They all saluted him, including He Zhizhou.
It stands to reason that He Zhizhou is the head of a state, and Lin Ting'an should salute him. But who made Lin Ting'an the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping, and who made friends with the sixth prince! He Zhizhou may have to rely on him in the future, so of course he has to bow to him.
"En." Lin Ting'an responded casually, and sat directly on the main seat.
This is a round table, including him, there are five people in total.
He lowered his hands, sitting on He Zhizhou.
On the other side of him, there was originally a short and fat man sitting. After he stood up and saluted Lin Ting'an, he was about to sit down when he felt Lin Ting'an was looking at him.
A thin layer of sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, "Elder Young Master?"
"Bring another chair to Mr. Zhang." Lin Tingan said.
All the people sitting there were smart people, and they immediately understood what he meant. The seat next to him should be reserved for others.
"Master Zhang, sit here with me." The person next to Master Zhang quickly stood up, let Master Zhang sit, and then the person next to him also stood up.
At this time, someone moved another chair, and everyone sat down again, looking at Lin Ting'an, waiting for him to speak.
Lin Ting'an tapped the table twice, and said to Qin Zhen, "Boss Qin, we need to talk about this matter, is there anyone missing?"
Qin Zhen, who was named, felt his heart skip a beat, and said with a smile, "What does the eldest son mean?"
"It's not that there are still five percent of the shares. If she doesn't come, isn't it good?"
Qin Zhen's scalp is about to explode, this... How did Lin Ting'an know... He doesn't seem to have related this matter to...
Before Qin Zhen could figure it out, Lin Ting'an said in a deep voice, "Boss Qin?"
Qin Zhen had no choice but to ask Butler Qin to come in, and said to him, "Go and invite Miss Jiang."
While talking, he wanted to wink Butler Qin so that he could remind Jiang Yunzhu.
It's a pity that the house is full of powerful people from Luzhou. After Butler Qin came in, he didn't dare to look up at all, and he couldn't see his wink.
Butler Qin quickly withdrew and went to Qishanju to find Jiang Yunzhu.
"Boss Qin invited me over? What's the matter?" Jiang Yunzhu wondered.
"The master didn't say anything either," Qin Butler said.
Jiang Yunzhu hesitated for a while, and decided to go and have a look.
Walking to the west of the city, he came to a teahouse in a short while.
Taiminglou, the best teahouse in Wuling County, is full of private rooms, a place for rich people to chat and drink tea. It is different from the target customers of Jiang Yunzhu's tea is not cold, and the two are relatively safe.
"Miss Jiang, right?" A waiter came down and led Jiang Yunzhu upstairs, with Butler Qin following.
Jiang Yunzhu went upstairs and came outside a box.
Someone opened the door of the box.
The people inside all looked outside, and Jiang Yunzhu also saw what was going on inside, and her heart skipped a beat twice.
Lin Ting'an, next to him is He Zhizhou, over there is Wang Tongzhi, over there is Feng Canjun, then Qin Zhen, Tao Ling, good guy, she knows more than half of the people at this table.
"Boss Jiang, please sit down." Lin Ting'an looked at her and said.
At this moment, Jiang Yunzhu felt that time and space were out of order. In her dream, she also participated in such tea parties several times. At that time, Lin Ting'an would reserve a seat next to him for her to sit.
Jiang Yunzhu lowered her eyes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
"It's okay." Lin Tingan said. He said it casually, as if it was just a small matter.
Indeed, none of the people in the room dared to speak out, they just looked at Jiang Yunzhu and guessed her identity.
"Miss Jiang, sit down." Qin Zhen was afraid that Jiang Yunzhu, a girl, would suddenly be embarrassed and cowardly facing so many big men, so he stood up to smooth things over.
Jiang Yunzhu has come all the time, and it seems that he can only sit down.
She walked to Lin Ting'an's side and sat on the chair. From the beginning to the end, she seemed to be strolling in a courtyard, with a graceful posture and a calm expression, as if she was not the owner of a small teahouse, but a guest of everyone.
Qin Zhen secretly marveled, he really underestimated Jiang Yunzhu, he was not as calm as her.
Others also have their own thoughts. When they first saw Jiang Yunzhu, they only thought she was beautiful, but now that they saw her like this, they seemed to understand why Lin Tingan let her sit next to him.
Of course, there are also people who have crooked thoughts and can't help but think about the relationship between Lin Ting'an and Jiang Yunzhu. A powerful man, a beautiful woman, hey, what else does it matter.
However, looking at Lin Ting'an, who is handsome and handsome, as bright as the moon, and Jiang Yunzhu, who is as beautiful as pearls and jade, sitting together, let alone, it really feels like a perfect match.
Lin Ting'an did not expect Jiang Yunzhu to be so calm and composed. She walked up to him and sat there, as if she was born to sit next to him.
Lin Ting'an felt his heart hit hard by something, making him clenched the teacup in his hand.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Yunzhu. From this angle, he could only see her side face, but the long eyelashes like opium, the pupils hidden like broken stars, and the soft sandalwood mouth were all beautiful. amazing.
Jiang Yunzhu could feel the eyes of everyone in the room, especially Lin Ting'an's, but she didn't look at them, she just wanted to get out of here quickly.
But at this moment in Qishanju, a black figure knelt down and complained to Shen Fengming.
Hearing this, Shen Fengming put down the book in his hand and made a "pop".
The author has something to say:
"The sandalwood mouth is full of smiles, and the spring breeze is blowing to make you happy." "Thin halo and light sandalwood mouth, heavy makeup and greasy powder cheeks."
