Chapter 14
Jiang Yanhua saw that Nan Xing had been silent, and asked with concern: "Xing'er, what's wrong with you?"

Nan Xing just came back to his senses, and said thoughtfully: "I was just thinking, why does little doctor Lu want to buy land and build a house here? Isn't he a traveling doctor from other places? He doesn't know many people here. Personally, I probably don't have any relatives, so why do you suddenly want to stay here?"

Jiang Yanhua was taken aback for a moment, she didn't think as much as Nan Xing thought.

She thought for a while and said, "You are a doctor, you always get tired from walking."

"But he looks a little older than me..." Nan Xing still felt a little depressed.

"Maybe our Xiaozhai Village has good feng shui, beautiful mountains and clear waters, so we can support people." Jiang Yanhua couldn't think of any other reasons, so she had to mention feng shui.

"Okay..." Nan Xing murmured secretly, could it be because of the Feng Shui that he got here inexplicably?

At this time, the sun was setting, but the heat of the day had not dissipated.

If people walk on the ground with bare feet, they will still feel the warm earth air.

Nan Xing lifted the lid of the pot, and suddenly, a familiar sweet smell came to her nostrils, and she couldn't help sniffing.

Qiu Ju and Chun Mei had already smelled the smell, they blinked their eyes, stared straight at the pot, and swallowed.

Looking at Nan Xing's skillful movements, the two of them couldn't help thinking, why it seemed like it wasn't the first time she did this kind of thing.

But in fact, it was indeed the first time for her to show her cooking skills in this area in front of them.

A person who has never been in the kitchen suddenly made such delicious food one day, and they felt strange in their hearts.

However, they were quickly distracted by the preserved apricots in front of them, and when they placed the three bamboo pans with preserved apricots in the yard, their eyes were fixed.

Because of the steaming earth atmosphere, the dried apricots exude a more intense sweet fragrance.

Nan Xing was fine, after all, he had eaten less before, but Qiuju and Chunmei were different.

The two of them couldn't help drooling from the very beginning, but now that they were almost done, they stared straight at them.

"Huh, what's the smell?" Ji Xiangyan came back from work, feeling like she was falling apart, but now she suddenly regained her energy.

Luo Yunfei, who was walking behind, stepped in with a hoe on her shoulders. She sniffed and her face sank instantly: "Who moved my candy?"

Hearing this, Qiu Ju and Chun Mei shook their bodies, glanced at her and then at Nan Xing quietly, and stood silently, not daring to speak.

Nan Xing glanced at the two cowards, raised her head, and said coquettishly to Luo Yunfei: "Er Niang, we made you delicious food, try it, and see if it's delicious?" She smiled and picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks The big and good preserved apricots were delivered directly to her mouth.

Before Luo Yunfei could see clearly, something sweet was stuffed into her mouth.

In an instant, a sweet smell rushed into the nostrils.

Then, her upper and lower teeth moved involuntarily, and she only felt that the taste was sour and sweet, and the taste was very unique.

Seeing her chewing vigorously, Ji Xiangyan, Qiu Ju and Chun Mei secretly swallowed, and looked at the preserved apricots on the ground.

After eating, Luo Yunfei completely forgot about her candy, and asked, "Xing'er, what did you give me just now? It's delicious."

Seeing this, Nan Xing said with a smile: "Er Niang, this is called preserved apricot. When it's drained tomorrow, I'll make some for you to eat when you go to work."

Ji Xiangyan swallowed again, and asked anxiously: "Xing'er, what about aunt's? Do aunt have it?"

"I want it too, I want it too..." Qiu Ju and Chun Mei also cried out anxiously.

"Don't worry, Madam has it too, everyone has it." Nan Xing waved his hand.

They thought they had something to eat now, but Nan Xing immediately slapped the hands that stretched out to the bamboo pan one by one.

Nan Xing stopped them with a smile: "It's not right now, you have to wait until it's drained before eating. That's the authentic preserved apricot."

When they saw Luo Yunfei eating just now, they couldn't help swallowing, feeling very greedy, and wanted to continue talking to Nan Xing, but Luo Yunfei pushed them into the kitchen one by one to cook.

Seeing this, Ji Xiangyan had no choice but to swallow silently, and went back to her room.

Although preserved apricots were delicious, Luo Yunfei still felt sorry for her candies until dinner.

She thinks that snacks like preserved apricots should be tasted, and they will be enough to satisfy their appetite, but they can't be eaten as a meal. Now that they have made so many, it's a bit sugary.

Wild fruits like apricots don't cost money, they are grown naturally, but the sugar is expensive, and she originally wanted to save the sugar for the festival.

Nan Xing picked up the dry greens in the bowl, without any greasy seeds, it was very unpleasant to eat, but he still gritted his teeth and ate it.

She was quite depressed. Although Qiu Ju and Chun Mei were now cooking, their cooking skills were not very good.

Thinking back to the past, breakfast was either dumplings, or egg tarts, and a bowl of hot, fragrant beef porridge.

At noon, even if you just eat a simple bowl of pork knuckle rice, it is thousands of times better than the current food.

For that evening meal, when I get home from get off work, I cook a bowl of tomato meat noodles and sprinkle some chopped green onions on it. It's delicious in the world.

Thinking of this, Nan Xing suddenly misses the delicacy he made, and just thinking about it makes his mouth water.

The main system is silent, this host is a bit narcissistic...

After she couldn't move, Nan Xing raised her head and said, "Er Niang, I want to take chrysanthemum and plum to the county seat tomorrow."

Luo Yunfei looked surprised: "Your injury hasn't completely healed yet, why are you going to the county town?"

Nan Xing pouted in the direction of the bamboo pan in the courtyard, and said with a smile, "The preserved apricots I made can be drained tomorrow. I want the two of them to help take them to the county town to sell, so as to earn back the candy money. Otherwise, next time If I want to use the candy from home again, Er Niang, you probably want to go beyond just talking about me."

Luo Yunfei didn't expect her to have such an idea, and was stunned for a while.

After a while, she realized: "It's still a bit far from our Xiaozhai village to the county seat, why don't you sell it after two days when the Gong Town fair opens?"

When the others heard Nan Xing's idea, they forgot to eat, and looked up at her one after another.

They felt that Nan Xing's proposal sounded very novel and seemed quite good.

But, why didn't they think of it?

Nan Xing shook his head: "Er Niang, let's go to the county town. People there have money, and they don't feel bad when spending money."

Today, when she was halfway up the mountain, she could clearly see the size of the people's wallets in Gongzhen at a glance.

There are patches of thatched houses, and only a few stone houses can be seen occasionally. People with yards can be counted without two palms.

Nan Xing now lives in a stone house with a small yard, like their house, Luo Yunfei is not willing to spend money on snacks.

Most of the other families have problems even eating. When they are poor, they tighten their belts and eat porridge every day. If it is not enough, they eat it with rice bran. Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible to spend money on snacks .

Luo Yunfei frowned: "But Er Niang is worried about you guys going."

In fact, it was Nan Xing who she was worried about.
