Chapter 18 Stir-Fried Eel
Seeing Chang Ning looking at him with a dull expression, Han Mingyuan worried that the murderous intent leaked from his subconscious scared her.

His slightly frowned brows were instantly released, and the arrogance of the whole person was instantly restrained, and he returned to his usual casual and harmless appearance.

"Why did you come back so early today!" Han Mingyuan smiled slightly, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible.

"Well, I want to see how you kill eels."

Chang Ning couldn't see the mighty and domineering regent, and the admiration in his eyes was completely hidden.

"Just so worried about my work? Do you need me to demonstrate it to you?"

Chang Ning stood not far away, stretching his neck to signal him to continue.

Han Mingyuan pursed his lips and smiled, took out an eel that was still writhing from the basin, inserted its head into the crack of the bench with chopsticks, then poked it in from under the head with a dagger, stabbing downwards, then The eel was disembowelled.

Han Mingyuan cleaned the eel's viscera very skillfully, and then deboned it. It was not the first time he had done it by looking at it.

He rinsed the processed eel meat in clean water, then asked Chang Ning, "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, of course satisfied."

If she had known that he had this sword skill, why would she be worried!Then go back to farming!
When frying eel meat at noon, Chang Ning went to the village chief's house to beg for some chili peppers in advance.

Eel meat has a fishy smell. If you don't add chili to cover up the taste, it will lose the taste of the ingredients.

She lit a fire on the earthen stove outside the thatched hut, and then steamed two handfuls of rice on the pot stand. Today, there are meat dishes, and Chang Ning was very generous once, and added another handful to the pot.

Looking at the bag of rice that was about to bottom out, Chang Ning lamented that he might have to live on porridge again in the next few days.

Sure enough... raising a man is too costly!
After the rice was steamed, Chang Ning heated the pot red, and then put a little lard in it, and the pot was fried immediately.

Chang Ning dodged the splashing oil stars, threw the chopped peppers in, and quickly stir-fried them twice.

Then he slid the cleaned eel meat into the pot. Although the oily smoke was choking heavily, the aroma of the fried eel also wafted out.

While frying, Chang Ning's stomach growled "cuckoo" in rhythm, and even Han Mingyuan came out of the room smelling it, and cleaned the table with a stick, always preparing the eel to come out of the pot.

After frying the hot eel, Chang Ning fried a wild shepherd's purse, then put two bowls of rice on the table.

"Aren't you eating in bed today?"

Seeing Han Mingyuan sitting down on the bench in front of the table in an orderly manner, Chang Ning was a little surprised.

Han Mingyuan replied: "I have no problem walking, I will eat at the table from now on."

Chang Ning frowned, not that he cared about whether he was eating in bed or not, but there was only one bench in the house, which was given by the villagers, and the other one was so broken that he couldn't sit on it at all.

Right now Han Mingyuan is occupying her, so she can't eat standing up, can she?

Of course Han Mingyuan wouldn't be so pushy, he patted his side, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "There is only one stool at home, let's squeeze as we can!"

The bench is long, and there is no problem for two people to sit, but it feels a little weird to sit together.

The two villains are crazy about love, and each has a deep hatred to protect the one they love, and now they actually have a day when they sit on the same bench to eat peacefully.

what is this?Reconciliation of the century?
Sure enough, is the enemy of an enemy a friend?
Chang Ning thought about it, but still sat down beside Han Mingyuan.

Now the person in charge of the family is her, so what about the regent, without her to cook and take care of the housework, sooner or later he will starve to death!
But even sitting next to each other, I'm afraid he won't make it!

As soon as Chang Ning sat down, Han Mingyuan pushed the rice bowl in front of her, and then moved the two dishes towards her as much as possible.

Chang Ning secretly said: I still have good eyesight, and I know who is the boss in this family.

Then he bowed his head in a muffled voice and worked hard to cook.

The two who hadn't eaten meat for a long time ate this meal with great relish, and it can be said that it was the most satisfying meal since they were reborn.

There are two big bowls of rice per person, even the rice crust on the bottom of the pot is scraped clean, and there is not even a chili pepper left on the plate.

If it wasn't for a little oil foam at the bottom of the bowl, it would look as if it had never been filled.

Chang Ning gently stroked his stomach and sighed in satisfaction: "Sure enough, the meat is still delicious!"

Therefore, making money must be carried out as the current key work.

Han Mingyuan turned his head to glance at her satisfied expression, and said casually: "After a few more days when I recover from my injury, I can go hunting in the mountains, and I can eat as much meat as I want."

Chang Ning's eyes sparkled instantly, shining like diamonds.

"Then you have to take a good rest and recuperate. I wish you a speedy recovery and all the best!"

Han Mingyuan smiled and shook his head.

Obviously, he once said categorically that he would leave immediately after his injury was healed, but now no one noticed the strangeness in his tone.

One didn't say to leave, and the other didn't say to leave.

In the afternoon, Chang Ning, who had had enough rest, went to the field with the soaked tomato seeds.

Planting tomatoes requires fertile land, so Chang Ning specially chose a field with a lot of rotting leaves to plant.

First dig small pits in the ground, with a distance of about three palms between each pit, and then pour water into the pits.

Because Chang Ning's land is some distance away from the creek, Chang Ning was exhausted after running back and forth to fetch water more than a dozen times.

After pouring the water, put 3 or 4 seeds in each pit, and then cover with a layer of floating soil to prevent the seeds from germinating due to water evaporation.

After finishing these days, the sky had already dimmed, and Chang Ning felt hungry, and the delicious lunch had been completely digested.

Thinking that he would be greeted by a few bitter wild vegetable roots at night, Chang Ning decided to suspend farming work tomorrow, and had to go hunting in the mountains.

Even if you don't eat the prey, you can still exchange a lot of food, at least until the first batch of cabbage is mature or Han Mingyuan can hunt.

Thinking of this, Chang Ning braved the night to weed out the weeds in the cabbage field, ensuring that her first pot of gold would grow up safely and healthily.

When she finished all this and was ready to go home with the hoe, she saw Han Mingyuan standing on the edge of the field with a walking stick and looking at her.

Chang Ning walked over quickly, "Why did you come here? Doesn't the wound hurt after walking so far?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." As expected, Han Mingyuan didn't show any discomfort in his expression, he just clenched his hands hidden in his cuffs tightly.

"I'm hungry. I plan to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, so I have to weed out the grass today." Chang Ning gestured to reach out to help him, "Go home first!"

Han Mingyuan turned his body sideways, and refused Chang Ning's support, "I can walk by myself, you said you're going to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow?"

Chang Ning nodded: "That's right, there is no rice or vegetables at home, so I have to find a way to change something to eat."

"En." Han Mingyuan nodded and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow, I have experience in hunting."

Chang Ning looked at him in surprise, and asked skeptically, "You? Can you walk mountain roads?"

"Why not?" Han Mingyuan pretended to be relaxed and said, "You just look down on this king's physical strength?"

Chang Ning pursed her lips, but her heart was full of disbelief.
