Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 156: When did you doubt us?

"What? What else is so great about it?"

"Don't speak halfway, how amazing is that?"

Several of them asked anxiously, their smiling eyes moving back and forth between Xia Zheng and Gu Yizi.

Xia Zheng's face also turned red, and she whispered angrily, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

"Why can't I tell you? It's just their bad fantasies. I mean, your man is not only good at hunting, but he's also very kind to you and very jealous."

"You're the one who made us think so," one woman complained, leaning in closer to ask, "How did you know his man was so powerful?"

"Didn't I say before that we met on the hill over there?"

Several women suddenly understood.

"Oh, that's the one you mentioned, the one who exposed her ankles to apply medicine to her, and her husband blocked your man from seeing it!"

"That's a real jealous idiot, but..." the woman who spoke looked at him and said jokingly, "If my wife were this beautiful, I'd want to hide her from everyone."

"You're right. He's a handsome man, too. He's better looking than those young men in Kyoto. He even takes care of a baby. Look, he even has a milk can with him."

The women looked over and saw Gu Yizi sitting on a wooden stool. He took out the milk can from his waist, poured it into a small bowl, and fed it to Ruanruan one spoonful at a time with a spoon.

The scenery of the mountains and forests is like a beautiful painting that makes people stunned.

"Where did you find such a good man?" Someone sighed unconsciously.

Where did she find it?

I took great pains to find it.

Seeing that she just smiled and said nothing, the other women didn't say anything either. After all, it was already noon, and the hunters had to continue hunting after dinner. They had to go down the mountain before dark, so time was very tight.

The purpose is to fill the stomach, so we just eat whatever we can get, as long as it is cooked, there is no elaborate cooking method.

Wild vegetables are easy to cook, so Xia Zheng was the last one in line. She waited until the women in front of her had finished cooking before she limped to the stove.

The woman who had helped her earlier served the dishes and then came back to cut vegetables for Xia Zheng while saying, "I'll help you. Once you're done, sit down and eat."

Xia Zheng did not refuse. She added a piece of firewood to the fire pit, added the meat oil she had just fried, put the wild vegetables in, stir-fried them for a few times, sprinkled some seasonings she brought with her, and quickly took them out of the pot and put them on a plate.

When the woman smelled the fragrance, she was the first to exclaim, "What did you put in there? Why does it smell so good?"

Xia Zheng generously handed the seasoning packet to the woman, "These are some seasonings I made myself. If you don't mind, you can keep them. You can add some to your cooking in the future. It will taste much better."

After opening it, looking inside, and smelling it, the woman happily tightened her arms. "I won't be polite with you. Let's see what this dish is like..."

"It was originally cooked for everyone to eat together. Didn't my sister-in-law say that we should help each other?"

When she heard that everyone was going to eat together, the woman happily immediately took the plate and put it on the table. Xia Zheng was about to limp to the table when Gu Yizi rushed over and supported her.

Everyone laughed quietly and exchanged glances with each other.

After Xia Zheng sat down, Gu Yizi picked up another rabbit leg and gave it to her.

Xia Zheng blushed and lowered her head to eat in small bites, while Gu Yizi picked up the dishes and ate generously, not like a newcomer at all.

All that was served before were wild game, and hunters had been eating these all year round. So when Xia Zheng's wild vegetables were on the table, everyone started to grab a piece with their chopsticks when they were told that they were eating together.

After taking a bite, I found it extremely delicious and couldn't help but have more.

Especially the long one inside, which is crisp and refreshing.

"What is this? I have never seen this kind of wild vegetable before." The woman asked Xia Zheng while holding the long strip.

"This is called green beans. I learned about it from my mother. I happened to see it in the mountains today, so I picked some." Xia Zheng explained while picking up one and putting it in her mouth.

Gu Yizi looked at it and picked one up as well.

Seeing that both of them were eating, the others started to pick up some food without hesitation.

The meal didn't take long, and everyone put down their bowls before 3:00 p.m.

The women cleaned up and washed, while the men picked up their things and discussed where to go next.

The hunter from before came up to Gu Yizi again and said, "You really don't want to go bear hunting? The bear isn't big, and your aim will definitely work. Bear skin and bear paws are very expensive. I know how to get them, and I can sell them for a good price."

Gu Yizhi shook his head, "It's inconvenient to bring a child with me, so I won't go today."

"That's such a pity." The hunter sighed, turned around and walked to the other side in disappointment, saying to the other hunters, "If he doesn't want to go, then let's... do it!"

With a loud shout, the hunters who were originally talking changed their previous simple appearance, their eyes were fierce and murderous, and they all drew their soft swords from their waists and attacked Gu Yizi.

On the other side, the women also smashed the bowls in their hands into the basin. The splashing water blinded Xia Zheng, and at the same time they pulled out the hairpin hidden in her bun and stabbed at her.

The two of them didn't move at all, as if they hadn't reacted at all.

Just as the sharp blade was about to reach them, everyone suddenly looked in pain, covered their stomachs and curled up on the ground.

The pain was like a raging sea in the stomach, so severe that I couldn't move at all.

Looking at Xia Zheng, who was sitting firmly on the stool, the woman endured the pain and asked, "You...you poisoned the food?"

Xia Zheng shook her head. "Haven't you checked everything? They're all non-toxic."

Yes, she had checked the wild vegetables and seasonings, and they were not poisonous at all. Moreover, she was a maid, so she believed them completely.

But if there is no poison, how could they do this?

"But the green beans are not cooked thoroughly, and eating them will indeed cause poisoning." Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Xia Zheng kindly explained it to her.

Are uncooked dishes poisonous?

The woman had never heard of such a thing.

Besides, she saw Xia Zheng arguing fiercely for a long time with her own eyes, so how could she not be cooked?

"You...you lied to me! You ate it too, so why...why are you okay?"

She wouldn't believe it, and Xia Zheng had no intention of explaining any further.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, common vegetables were easy to cook and could be eaten raw. The same was true for most wild vegetables, so people believed that vegetables would not be poisonous as long as they were fried.

Xia Zheng would have thought so if she hadn't read the cookbook. She happened to have picked some green beans today and had been planning to blanch them and then stir-fry them, but she ran into them and had to give them a bargain.

As for how nothing happened after they ate it?

Of course they had nothing to eat.

To be exact, I didn't swallow it.

She and Gu Yizi now understand each other. From her actions, Gu Yizi can tell that the green beans cannot be swallowed and have been hidden under her tongue. Now she and Xia Zheng silently spit them out.

The woman saw that both of them had spit out the unchewed green beans. She looked at them in shock and asked unwillingly, "When did you... doubt us?"

when?

Of course, it was the moment when Gu Yizi shot the crossbow arrow.
