Seeing that the soup in the pot was boiling, she directly picked up her chopsticks and put a few slices of pork into it.

He estimated the time in his mind, fished it out, put it directly on the small plate in front of him, bit it together with a small garlic clove, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed sincerely: "It smells so good!

"

"Just eat it like this?"

Ji Xiukai was stunned for a moment. He didn't believe it, but when he saw Mu Daiyao happily eating the second piece of meat, he felt relieved and stretched out his chopsticks to do the same.

As soon as the cooked meat entered his mouth, Ji Xiukai's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Is the pot so delicious?"

"Well, considering that you are still young, you can't eat anything too spicy, otherwise it will taste better."

Mu Daiyao was still very confident in her cooking skills, she nodded and admitted.

"Tongtong can't get it, but Tongtong wants to eat it too."

Ji Letong's aggrieved voice suddenly came from beside Mu Daiyao. She turned her head and glanced at Ji Letong, who was looking at the stove eagerly but didn't know how to start. She smiled lovingly in her eyes and said nothing.

He said that he cooked half a bowl of meat for her.

Ji Xiukai, who had just stood up and blanched a few slices of pork, turned around and saw this scene. He almost muttered a few words of jealousy.

"Since there is no prey in the mountains, sir, please don't go into the mountains again during this period."

Mu Daiyao was thinking in her mind while eating, and she had a vague illusion that there seemed to be hope for life.

Seeing this, Mu Daiyao hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and took the basket he was carrying out of habit, frowned and asked, "You're back? Why are you so dirty?"

The two happened to look at each other, and Mu Daiyao's sharp eyes saw that Ji Zhixu's crow-feather-like eyelashes had a thin layer of snow falling on them.

Ji Zhixu's eyes were a little complicated, but the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, revealing a faint smile.

Under the light of the candle lamp, Ji Zhixu, who returned tonight, looked obviously more embarrassed than before. The clothes on his body were torn by something unknown, and his hem and elbows were covered with mud and water, as if his whole body was in trouble.

It felt like it had been rolled in muddy water.

No matter how many diners there are, whether they are used to it or not, she will definitely have a meal like this every now and then.

There were scattered snow particles on his body, and he was patting his head down as he walked in.

Mu Daiyao directed the little bastards to take the remaining dishes and chopsticks inside and wash them clean. Anyway, as soon as their bellies were full and people could talk, they honestly carried the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen one after another.

It seems that it has snowed again in the mountains.

When she heard the sound, she turned around and saw that it was Ji Zhixu.

"By the way, if you want to eat vegetarian dishes, I'll add them later. I'll also add the fish fillets that I've frozen in the well water before adding them in last, otherwise the whole pot will become fishy and not so fragrant."

Knowing that it was Ji Zhixu who had entered the room, Mu Daiyao didn't even raise her head. She just pulled the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of hot tea, and casually told him some of the things that happened today.

It was obvious that Mu Daiyao would leave food for him in the past and wait for him until so late, but he didn't know why he had never had this strange feeling in his chest before.

As he spoke, white mist emerged from his mouth. Ji Zhixu frowned slightly and added: "Go back to the house quickly. Although it hasn't snowed yet, it's still quite freezing in the yard.

.”

Mu Daiyao poured herself a small glass of sorghum wine leisurely. Under the smoke, she couldn't help but plan. If the restaurant successfully opened in the town in the future, this hodgepodge pot would definitely be indispensable.

A signature dish.

Hearing this, Ji Zhixu raised his eyes, stared at Mu Dai Yao intently with his dark eyes for a while, and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you, Madam Yao."

Seeing this, Ji Xiuping and Ji Xiujing also started using their chopsticks, fearing that they would not be able to eat if they ate too slowly.

After finishing the meal, Mu Daiyao did not forget to put away the remaining raw meat and lettuce. If Ji Zhixu came back later, he could use these to make a simple bowl of noodles for him.

Mu Daiyao swayed the basket on her back, and did not forget to tell Ji Zhixu: "I have left noodles for you in the kitchen. You can heat it yourself and eat it. I made it a little spicy.

After all, it’s cold in winter, so eating it can warm you up.”

"It's okay, it's just snowing in the mountains and the mountain roads have become slippery," Ji Zhixu didn't say much. After a brief mention, he changed the subject and said, "I guess it will snow outside the mountains in the next few days.

, now there is no prey in the mountains."

After hearing that Ruan Handong actually found a matchmaker to marry Yao Niang, Ji Zhixu's whole face was filled with a faint chill.

Before Ji Zhixu could figure out the reason, Mu Daiyao had already turned around and left, taking the few herbs in the basket with her.

But when Mu Daiyao's eyes fell on Ji Zhixu's clothes, she was stunned for a moment.

It's a pity that we didn't prepare enough today. It would be perfect if we could prepare a few more plates of different meats.

By the time Ji Zhixu washed up and returned to the house, Mu Daiyao was already sitting on a chair, counting the money she earned today seriously under the candlelight.

Since he couldn't hunt any animals and there were only a few herbs in the basket, which was not heavy, Ji Zhixu let Mu Daiyao take the basket away and responded calmly.

By the time all this was put away, it was already so dark outside that I couldn't see my fingers, and I could only rely on lit candles to illuminate the path under my feet.

Several children were busy eating and nodding wildly to show that they understood, but they had no time to speak.

Mu Daiyao was about to go to the house to wash up before going back to bed, when she heard the sound of the half-closed courtyard door being pushed open from the outside, making a "squeak" sound.

"What's her intention?"

"I probably think that if the matchmaker convinces me that I am attracted to her, I will divorce you, and then you can marry her, husband-in-law."

Mu Daiyao put the counted silver back into the money jar and answered one after another.

"Yao Niang, you know that I have no interest in that Miss Ruan at all," Ji Zhixu frowned and said helplessly: "I don't even know what happened to her. She seems to have changed.

Likewise, I clearly had no relationship with her before, so the so-called childhood sweethearts and close relationship are simply nonsense."

Seeing that Ji Zhixu rarely spoke so many words in one breath, Mu Daiyao raised her head and glanced at him in surprise. Suddenly she had the idea of ​​teasing him, so she held her chin in her hand and said with a smile: "Mr.
Chapter completed!
