Chapter 188 Aunt Xu Comes to the Door
Ye Lingqiu lowered his head and didn't dare to even look at Shen Yitian.
He didn't dare stop stir-frying the chestnuts, for fear that the other party would notice something.
He was so nervous that his brain almost crashed when Shen Yitian asked him again.
It's over, he's about to be discovered, how is he going to explain to Shen Yitian...
"Your clothes are torn, why are you still wearing them?" Shen Yitian's voice continued.
As she spoke, she pulled at the hole in Ye Lingqiu's clothes.
The hole looked like it was torn, probably because he accidentally got caught on it while walking and didn't notice.
Ye Lingqiu was silent for a moment, then reacted and laughed.
"Maybe I didn't notice it. I'll go back to my room and change my clothes."
As he said that, he stuffed the spatula into Shen Yitian's hand and ran away.
Shen Yitian was just thinking about going back to her room to get two sugar-roasted chestnuts to satisfy her craving, but she didn't expect him to leave first.
Helpless, I could only use the spatula to start stir-frying the chestnuts in the pan.
To be honest, this was the first time she touched a spatula since she entered the book.
Before she traveled through the book, she never thought that she could become a rich lady, and even if she was exiled, she could still live a life without having to do any housework.
Despite having such a good background, the original owner was actually love-sick. She gave up her good life and chose to be a man's bootlicker.
I really can’t figure it out.
Of course, she didn't stir-fry it this time.
Shengsheng went to drink some water, and when she came back, she saw Shen Yitian frying chestnuts, so she immediately went over and took the spatula.
"Miss, why are you doing this?" she asked in surprise.
Shen Yitian shrugged: "Brother Ye's clothes were torn, and he said he was going to change clothes, so I fried it first."
So that's how it is, Shengsheng suddenly understood.
But she still frowned: "Then you can call me, how can you do this by yourself."
Shen Yitian didn't take it seriously: "It didn't even turn over a few times, you just came here."
Shengsheng chuckled and then noticed what was in the pot.
"Wow, where did these chestnuts come from? They're quite big."
Shen Yitian hummed, "Brother Ye bought it from the county town. He said it was shipped from another place."
The key point is that it looks like these chestnuts are fried well.
I just don’t know how it compares to sugar-roasted chestnuts.
The master and servant were chatting happily when Ye Lingqiu had already changed his clothes and appearance and came over again.
Seeing Shen Yitian looking at the chestnuts in the pot with anticipation, he couldn't help but laugh.
This little girl is even more greedy than when she was a child.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingqiu couldn't help but feel dazed again.
For some reason, he just couldn't connect the bright girl in front of him with the sweet girl from the past.
It was clearly the same person, the same face, but she always felt that she was different from before.
"You're back. Come and see if the chestnuts are ripe!" Shen Yitian caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye and immediately pulled him over.
The chestnuts in the pot became more and more fragrant, and she could hardly resist.
If this person doesn't come again, she will have to make one and taste it to see if it's cooked.
Ye Lingqiu laughed: "Don't worry, it will take a while. Go wait outside first, it's very smoky here, I'll bring it to you later."
After saying that, he pushed the person out and told Shengsheng to make her a pot of tea.
Chestnuts are delicious, but eating too much can be choking. This girl is greedy, so we need to prepare some tea first, otherwise it will be scalding hot and she won't be able to drink it.
When the chestnuts were ripe, Shengsheng had already prepared a pot of chrysanthemum tea.
Shen Yitian held the cup and sipped it slowly. She had to say that the chrysanthemum tea brought by her second brother was really fragrant.
However, this fragrance was soon overshadowed by the chestnut fragrance.
Shen Yitian never thought that the hunter's cooking skills were so good that the chestnuts he fried tasted even better than sugar-fried chestnuts.
It's not very sweet, but has a unique fragrance.
Before she knew it, Shen Yitian ate a little too much.
When there was only half a plate of chestnuts left, someone suddenly knocked on the yard door.
Shengsheng went to open the door and found out that it was Lao Xu's daughter-in-law who came.
Shen Yitian still likes this woman very much.
She is straightforward and loud, but she doesn't have any bad intentions.
The woman was holding the bag in her hand. When she walked in and took it out, Shen Yitian realized that it was food that was delivered to her.
"Aunt Xu, please sit down." Shen Yitian stood up to greet her, and asked her to sit down before she continued to eat chestnuts.
Shengsheng gave some chestnuts to Aunt Xu and poured her a cup of chrysanthemum tea before going outside to wait.
She said she was going to wait, but in fact she was eating the chestnuts Shen Yitian stuffed into her mouth.
Grandma Li had told her not to eat anything that belonged to the young lady, but it was different for what the young lady stuffed into her.
She wants to eat all the chestnuts that the lady stuffed into her mouth!
Aunt Xu sat down happily and ate two chestnuts before speaking.
"Dragon Lady, thank you so much for yesterday. If you hadn't been here, my husband would have been fed to the siren."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Aunt Xu choked up a little.
Shen Yitian silently looked at the huge swordfish lying on the ground in her space.
Well, that is to say, this thing is just a little big, but it probably won’t eat people.
But she was not in a position to say it, and no one would believe her even if she did.
So I could only smile lightly: "Don't be polite, Aunt Xu, it's just luck."
Fortunately, there were tools in her space that could be used.
Aunt Xu hurriedly opened the bag she brought, revealing the high-quality dried seaweed inside.
"These things are not a token of respect, please don't despise them, Queen Dragon Girl. We have to repair the boat and the nets these two days, so we may not be able to go out to sea. Once we are out to sea, I will ask my husband to bring you some of your favorite fish and shrimp."
Aunt Xu laughed and said this, but there was hope in her eyes.
Shen Yitian knew that she was sighing about what she had said.
During this period, she has been buying fish from Lao Xu's family.
Not to mention anything else, just the share of fish catch that she and Yue Niang have to pay every day is quite a lot.
Fishermen make a living by selling fish. Shen Yitian buys so much every day, so she is considered a regular customer of the Xu family.
Now the fishing net at home is broken and the big fishing boat needs to be repaired...It's hard for Aunt Xu not to be anxious.
Today she made a special trip with some things, firstly to thank Shen Yitian, and secondly to bring up this matter.
Of course, she hoped that when her family went out to sea again, Shen Yitian would still want the fish she caught.
Shen Yitian had always thought that this was a woman who couldn't hide her thoughts, and now it turned out to be true.
Not only does her expression show all her thoughts, she is also very impatient.
Seeing that Shen Yitian had not responded for a long time, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"Ha, Lady Dragon Girl, you've seen our situation. It's not that we don't want to sell you our catch these past two days, it's simply that our boat is broken, our nets are torn, and we can't fish."
Shen Yitian smiled and said, "Well, I know. I won't blame you. I will find someone else to deliver the fish."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu became a little anxious: "Of course, the fish must be handed over. But, Lady Dragon Girl, can I beg you to buy fish from us when we can go fishing again?"
