Chapter 2 Making Food for a Living

After the conversation, Lu Jingyan did not say anything to ask Chaole to stay at Aunt Li's house for temporary rest, so Chaole stayed, but she had to buy three meals a day.

In order not to arouse Lu Jingyan's suspicion, Chaole can only cook with the ingredients in the kitchen every day. Fortunately, there are more wild game at home occasionally. After all, this village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are still pheasants, hares, and rabbits.

"Lu Jingyan, what are you busy with every day? You go out early and come back late." After breakfast that day, Chaole saw that Lu Jingyan was about to go out again. This time, he was like this day and day, and sometimes he even came back in the middle of the night. She was so curious these two days that she felt that if she held it like this, she would definitely hold it crazy.

Lu Jingyan did not avoid this issue and said bluntly that there were more individuals at home and needed to earn money to support the family.

"..." I didn't expect it to be this problem at all. Chao Le smiled awkwardly, "I seem to be a burden to you."

Hearing this, Lu Jingyan frowned, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "So that's it."

"You-" stared at me anxiously, and I didn't expect this man to be so straight.

"So, just improve your cooking skills and make more delicious rewards." No matter how upset Chaole is now, he slowly went out after he finished speaking.

Looking at the table of leftovers in front of me, my mind was filled with Lu Jingyan's words just now, and I felt so upset that I had not wanted to clean up the dining table for a long time.

When Lu Jingyan came back in the evening, the fragrance in the kitchen rushed into his nose. He couldn't help but walk over and saw a figure in the kitchen bent over and didn't know what to do.

"What are you doing?" After a while, the woman arched her waist still had no intention of getting up and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Lu Jingyan's voice, he continued to bow his head and fiddle, "I've become a burden to you. I'm not so kind to repay your grudges. Do something to relieve your burden."

He choked, then couldn't help but walk over, looked down at the things on the wooden board, but couldn't understand what those things were for a long time.

"Dried sweet potatoes, I don't know if you have this kind of food here, but you only have a little more of this food at home. I just happened to be able to make this snack, so I tried it." He raised his chin and explained to Le.

"Let's rest early after finishing it." He just said casually today. Who knew that this woman was relieved, but Lu Jingyan didn't plan to say anything more. He left this sentence and turned back to the room.

He curled his lips and continued to lower his head to fiddle with the dried sweet potatoes on the rack.

Lu Jingyan, who had finished breakfast early in the morning, just walked out of the door when he heard Aunt Li calling him.

Stopped and looked at the old lady walking in front of her. Aunt Li, who was in her sixties, was in poor health. She was covered in silver wrinkles and looked very old, but her eyes were filled with gentle smiles, which made Lu Jingyan, who was not close to her, was also very gentle to Aunt Li.

"Aunt Li is wrong?" Lu Jingyan asked in a gentle tone.

Looking at the gentle and polite man in front of him, Aunt Li secretly cursed those erratic people. How could such a polite and good-looking child be that kind of person? But she still asked in her heart, "Child, I heard that a guest is coming to your house?"

When Aunt Li asked this, she kept looking at his doorstep. Thinking about the rumors she heard yesterday, she pursed her lips for a long time without saying anything.

Seeing Lu Jingyan's appearance, Aunt Li suddenly became anxious and said in a worried tone: "Is there any inconvenience? Is there anything Aunt Li can help?"

The old lady was kind and helpful, and had no malice to him and even Chaole who was taken in by him, and could not make the old man worry for nothing, so she explained: "I worry you, my family is indeed a guest, I am my cousin."

When he heard that it was his cousin, he felt relieved. The old lady was spitting the gossiping gossiping women to death. She smiled and asked Lu Jingyan, "Is your cousin at home?"

Nodded, "It's here."

After hearing this, Aunt Li thought about it and continued to ask, "Then can I go and see your cousin later?"

"Yes, but my cousin has a weird personality. If there is anything, I hope Aunt Li will take care of her." Lu Jingyan tried to speak more calmly.

Aunt Li disagreed and glared at Lu Jingyan, "You kid, how could you say that to your cousin?"

Seeing that Aunt Li didn't believe him, Lu Jingyan was innocent, but he refuted silently.

Knowing that Lu Jingyan had something to do, he hurriedly asked him to leave first.

Chaole, who was still busy in the kitchen, heard the sound of footsteps and thought that Lu Jingyan was back. Thinking of the successful production of the batch of dried sweet potatoes, he ran to the yard in three or two steps. His bright smile could not be concealed, but when he saw a strange old lady's face, he was stunned.

Looking at the girl who was smiling like a flower in front of her, Aunt Li couldn't stop smiling and walked to Chaole with the basket in her hand.

"Who are you looking for?" He didn't hit the smiley person, not to mention that the old lady looked very kind, and her eyes looked so gentle.

Seeing Chaole's eyes tentatively, Aunt Li felt that it might be because he took the liberty to come to the door and scared people. He quickly stated his identity and purpose, and then handed the basket to Chaole. "Jing Yan has lived here for a few years and it's the first time that a relative has come to the door. I am Aunt Li, and my home is next door." Then he gestured to Chaole and said, "It's all grown by my family, so don't dislike it, girls."

"Aunt Li, you are polite. Thank you. You are so polite and you have sent so many things." The old man was kind and could not refuse. After all, he could not say anything when he looked at the old man's kind gaze, so he simply freed up the things in the basket, put some freshly prepared dried sweet potatoes and handed the basket back to Aunt Li.

"What is this?" Looking at the extra things in the basket, Huang Jingjing was very eye-catching, Aunt Li asked curiously.

Thinking that he had been busy making this thing in the past two days, Lu Jingyan happened to have Aunt Li when he came back, so he began to tell what this thing was.

Looking at the things in the basket, Aunt Li was surprised. Sweet potatoes were everywhere in the countryside. The most common food was also the thing that people in the city disdained the most. Unexpectedly, they could make such beautiful food.
