Along the country road, crossing a stone bridge, admiring the surrounding pastoral scenery and smelling the fragrance of chrysanthemums, Zhengyao and Ning'an were led by the old man to a small village before they knew it.

Various small bamboo buildings are arranged side by side or in groups of three or five. Counting them, there are at least nearly a hundred households** soaking! Book*

The old man walked in front, gently pushed open the fence door, and then waved for Zhengyao to come in. Zhengyao didn't linger much. Now he was really hungry, so he followed him in three steps and two steps at a time.

After bypassing two bamboo buildings, we came to a bamboo house.

"Haha, it's a bit rough to enter the humble house, but it's still very clean inside," the old man said with a smile.

After saying that, the old man pushed the bamboo door open, and everything in the house was in full view.

The furnishings in the room are relatively simple and plain.

Yang placed a small black square table about one square meter in size. There was a faint smell of camphor. The square table should be made of camphor wood. There was a tea set placed on the table. At this moment, there was still a trace of heat coming from the teapot.

Advertising from the middle is a fence facing the gate. There is a portrait of a door god or a high official posted on it. His eyes are so bright that you can't help but feel like you are holding your breath.

There are several bamboo chairs placed on both sides of the square table, which is neat and orderly, making people feel comfortable. As for the walls on both sides, except for some commonly used farm tools and some hunting tools, there is nothing else serious like the old man.

It's the same as what I said, it's a little shabby, but it's clean.

This should be the hall of the old man's house. Zheng Yao looked around and saw that there were only three rooms in the whole house. The bedroom was on the left, and the kitchen was naturally on the right.

After walking in, Zhengyao gently put Ning An down and slowly helped her sit down on the bamboo chair.

After the old man put away the fishing gear in his hands, he walked to the table and poured tea for the two of them.

"Come on, I see you are also thirsty. Let's drink some tea first. I will prepare food for you right away," the old man said with a smile.

Zhengyao felt grateful and immediately replied: "Then there is Old Man Lao."

In fact, Zhengyao and this old man just met by chance and didn't know each other at all. Zhengyao never thought about eating the old man's food. After all, in this era of law of the jungle, who will help you if you don't have money? But I just asked if there was a place where I could.

I was eating, but I didn’t expect that the old man took me directly into the house. The old man didn’t even ask me where I came from, who my name was, whether I had money, etc. It was obviously a bit surprising.

After all, there are still many good people in the world. Zhengyao has always believed in this sentence, and at this moment, he firmly believes it

The old man smiled knowingly again, then turned and walked towards the kitchen, leaving Zhengyao and Ning'an sitting in the hall drinking tea.

Seeing the old man walking into the kitchen and starting to light a fire to cook, Ning An immediately whispered to Zhengyao: "I didn't expect this old man to be so kind-hearted and even bring us to his house for dinner."

This is the first time Ning An has traveled alone, and she has also been alone with people other than Xiao Xi, so she actually has no standard for who is a good person or a bad person. Now that the old man is cooking for her, she naturally regards him as a good person.

Zhengyao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Is he a good person if he cooks some food for you? If he poisoned the food, you wouldn't even know how you died."

Seeing Ning An's self-righteous look, Zheng Yao didn't forget to pour cold water on him. Sometimes he was too relaxed, which would make him fall into an imaginary state, where he couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

"Eh? That's right. No, let's leave quickly. Maybe these people are from the men in black, specially placed here to wait for us."

It seemed that after Zheng Yao said that, Ning An immediately believed it to be true, and without thinking, he contacted the group of men in black who pushed Zheng Yao down the mountain.

"oops"

But when Ning An immediately stood up and was about to leave, he couldn't help but feel his right foot twitching and he was about to fall down with a cry. Zheng Yao pulled him up and looked at Ning An speechlessly.

It seems that Ning An's do-it-yourself character has made her suffer after all. She was so anxious that she even forgot about her sprained right ankle.

"I said, my beautiful princess, please think carefully with your brain. I just said something. If you become so nervous, don't you think you have your own opinion? Yes, I may poison the food.

, but what benefits can he gain from poisoning? Firstly, he does not know your identity, and secondly,

He doesn't even know what a restaurant is, which shows how isolated this place is, so how could he be an accomplice of the man in black? Thirdly, if he had the intention to harm us, he would have probably taken action when we were by the pond.

Yes, my intuition tells me that compared with Yan Song’s martial arts skills, you and I are no match at all.”

Even though Zheng Yao looked lazily looking east and west, he discovered many things that even Ning An had never thought of. Just relying on the above three points, Ning An felt ashamed of himself.

"Come on, I know you're good at analyzing problems, okay."

Ning An pouted and said, then he drank a sip of tea and remained silent, ignoring Zheng Yao.

Zhengyao could only smile helplessly. It seems that this unruly princess is really stingy. In this case, just sit back and wait patiently.

About a quarter of an hour later, the old man walked out of the kitchen sweating profusely. At the same time, he held a chopping board with four plates and a large black bowl on it. The old man must have cooked the food himself.

cooking

Putting it on the table, the old man immediately took the bowls and chopsticks over. After filling the rice, he handed it to Zhengyao and Ning'an respectively. Then he also filled a bowl for himself and sat down.

"These dishes?"

Ning An picked up one of the vegetables with chopsticks, then stared at the four vegetables and one soup in front of him, and said in surprise

It seemed that the four dishes and one soup in front of her made it difficult for her to accept: Can this be eaten? Or will it not cause a stomachache after eating it?

"What's the matter, little girl? Does this old man's dish not suit your taste?" the old man said with a hint of doubt.

Seeing Ning An's expression, Zheng Yao immediately understood what she meant, so he immediately said: "No, no, please don't misunderstand me. She has been hungry these past few days, so she felt a little agitated when she saw such delicious food.

I can't help but want to praise her, but she doesn't know much about reading and doesn't know how to express it. Well, I must have put a lot of thought into these four dishes and one soup. They are naturally delicious dishes."

Regarding Ning'an's thoughts, Zhengyao naturally understood that she was a princess who grew up in the palace with a golden body and a rich body. She was used to eating all kinds of delicacies and was tired of drinking nectar and jade liquid. Therefore, in Ning'an's consciousness, food and other things

All should be done in a variety of ways, and the color is uniform

During that period of time in Shu, whether it was Li Mansion, Wuchanyuan or even Feiyun Village, the food Ning'an ate was definitely cooked by specialized cooks, and the smell and taste were definitely excellent. However, what he saw in front of him

Four dishes and one soup, Ning An can only describe it as beyond her cognitive scope

Stir-fried wild vegetables, pickled wild vegetables, boiled wild vegetables, cold wild vegetables and a bowl of wild vegetable soup, a complete hodgepodge of wild vegetables, a complete picnic. How could this not surprise Ning An?

But how did Ning'an know that because it is located in a deep valley, there is little sunshine, and the climate is very different from the outside. If you want to grow vegetables that are the same as those in the outside world, it is difficult to have wild vegetables to eat. It is not bad if there is heavy snow.

God, I can only eat bamboo shoots

Zhengyao didn't want Ning An to be too outspoken and make the old man unhappy, so he immediately took over Ning An's words. After all, others have deigned to cook for you personally, but you still picky and say the dishes are not suitable.

Taste, inedibility of food, etc. will definitely hurt other people's body and mind, especially those with strong self-esteem. They may fight tooth and nail after hearing this.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm too hungry, I don't know what to say haha"

Under Zhengyao's constant winks, Ning'an finally understood what Zhengyao meant, so he slowly put a piece of green vegetables in his chopsticks to his mouth, as if the thing about to be put into his mouth was a piece of green vegetables.

Like a caterpillar

But he didn't want the old man to see anything, so Ning An had to force out a smile. He looked at Zhengyao with such a embarrassed and embarrassed look, but the old man beside him couldn't see clearly, and his eyes were dead.

Staring at Ning An, as if asking you what your expression is like

"Huh? It tastes really good."

However, the moment Ning An put the dish into his mouth, he suddenly felt a melt-in-the-mouth feeling, mixed with the fragrance of honey, which made Ning An scream out.

“Delicious, so delicious”

I don't know if it is really that delicious, but at this moment Ning'an no longer looked embarrassed. Instead, he was like a beggar who had been hungry for three or five days and suddenly saw half a moldy bun.

Eat at the table

"Is it such an exaggeration? Stir-fried wild vegetables with honey? Is it true?" (To be continued)
