Chapter 37 People are iron, rice is steel

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat." Aunt Zhang's angry voice sounded outside the main room.Xu Ruqing looked up and saw her walking in with two big bowls with a smile on her face, the previous sadness was completely gone.

"Wait a little longer, you three. There are eggs and steamed buns in the pot. I'll bring them to you, and you can eat right away."

Xu Ruqing stood up and said, "I'll help too."

Aunt Zhang quickly persuaded her: "Hey, no need, just sit still, I'll do this little thing."

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhang are really neat, and soon, one after the other, they brought the dishes to the table.

Zhang Dalong also came over with bowls and chopsticks, but because the dining table was too small to accommodate so many people, he had to stand behind. "We don't have any good things in this mountain, we only eat simple food, don't be disgusted, little lady, just make do with it."

Xu Ruqing glanced at the dishes on the small table, a plate of stir-fried amaranth, a plate of pickled vegetables and pickled melon, and a pot of stewed wild pork, plus steamed buns served in a large bowl.Although it is not delicacies from mountains and seas, but in this poor and backward mountain village, this is the best hospitality they can give Xu Ruqing and others.

Xu Ruqing was very satisfied. In the situation of extreme shortage of supplies in the last days, she still couldn't eat such delicious steamed buns, and there were several dishes in one meal. What could she choose. "Brother Zhang, you are too polite, we are the ones who trouble you."

Zhang Dalong no longer said polite words, but pushed the meat and vegetables in front of them: "When you come here, treat it as your own home, don't be reserved, eat freely."

Xu Ruqing's eyes lit up looking at the fat meat in front of her. The smell of the oily meat made her salivary glands secrete saliva, and she couldn't help moving her throat.

Since everyone has said so, then she...

You are welcome!

Xu Ruqing unceremoniously picked up a steamed bun from the sea bowl, and finished it with a few mouthfuls of pickles.Chewing her mouth dry, she took another bowl of soup with a spoon, and swallowed it in two mouthfuls.Seemingly still not satisfied, she went to the back room to fill herself with a large bowl of rice, and made two large bowls of soup and rice.

People are iron, food is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry!Besides, she was hungry for three meals!
Aunt Zhang and the others looked at her like this, and said in their hearts that it would be a lie if they were not shocked, but they just thought that Xu Ruqing and the others must have been starved to death in the mountains. Momo?
Aunt Zhang looked at Xu Ruqing with a touch of distress in her eyes, it seemed that the child was really starving.

Aunt Zhang put vegetables into her bowl with a smile: "Little lady, don't just chew dry food, but also eat a la carte. This meat is delicious, try it quickly."

"Hmm...Okay." Xu Ruqing hastily picked up the bowl to catch the food Mrs. Zhang brought over, and then put it in her mouth, gnawed a pig's trotter until only the bones remained.

Su Yichen: "..."

Xu Ruqing didn't notice Su Yichen's expression, but said, "Look at me, eat quickly."

Su Yichen never knew that Xu Ruqing was so good at eating. He was very curious about what Xu Ruqing had experienced before, which made her completely changed, not to mention her previous habit of picky eaters.

Aunt Zhang asked with concern: "Is this dish not to Mr. Su's taste? Otherwise, why would Mr. Su not eat it?"

Su Yichen came back to his senses after hearing this, and explained: "No, the food is delicious and suits my taste, but my appetite has always been like this, so don't worry, ma'am."

Aunt Zhang nodded: "That's good. If you have anything you want to eat, tell Auntie, if Auntie has something at home, she will make it for you."

Su Yichen nodded: "Thank you, Ma'am."

"Mother, aunt, brother, I'm back." The big guy was eating to his heart's content, when suddenly a brisk pink-green figure walked into the door.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, and went out to help her daughter take off the basket on her shoulders. "You damn girl, why did you come back so late? I worried your mother so much."

Zhang Zhilan scratched her head embarrassingly: "Hehe, didn't they do it on purpose, I went up the mountain today and picked a lot of mushrooms. It rained in the mountain, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk, so I came back late."

"Okay, give me the basket, wash your hands and go eat quickly."

"it is good."

After washing her hands, Zhang Zhilan came to the main room, only to find that besides her brother and aunt, there were three more strangers she didn't know.

When her eyes fell on Ye Xiao's face, Zhang Zhilan blushed suddenly and her heart beat, and a burst of suffocating excitement came from her chest.

"What are you doing standing up, go to the table and eat."

Zhang Zhilan was brought back to her senses by her aunt's voice, she took a quick look at Ye Xiao, and then lowered her head again, her movements were so fast that no one noticed.

"Auntie, these people are..."

Aunt Zhang introduced: "These are our guests. They got lost in the mountains and were brought back by your brother. They will stay overnight at our house tonight."

Zhang Zhilan shyly said "Oh", then, in order not to let others notice her strangeness, she picked up the bowl handed over by her aunt and buried her head in eating.

Because of the arrival of the three of them, Zhang Zhilan ate a lot more cautiously than usual. She always looked at Ye Xiao inadvertently, and she couldn't help looking again and again with her eyes full of amused eyes.

The young master next to him was wearing a mask, so he didn't know what he looked like, but judging by his detached temperament, he was absolutely extraordinary.In contrast, Young Master Ye is really shockingly handsome, so how can she not be moved.

Of course Ye Xiao noticed Zhang Zhilan's eyes, but he didn't care, after all, it was not the first time he saw such eyes.Inadvertently meeting Zhang Zhilan's eyes, he just smiled politely.

As everyone knows, this smile made Zhang Zhilan so happy that she took off.

Xu Ruqing was only concentrating on cooking, and completely ignored the two people whose eyes were sparkling at each other.After eating and drinking, she helped Aunt Zhang clean up the mess on the table, and then she called Aunt Zhang and others, saying that she wanted to discuss something with them.

"Young lady, just tell me if you have anything to do. The visitor is a guest, and we will try our best to satisfy whatever request we have."

Xu Ruqing waved her hand: "Auntie, you misunderstood, your family is so kind to us, how can I have the nerve to make a request. I asked the three of you here to ask what your plans are for Brother Zhang's legs?"

The light in Aunt Zhang's eyes instantly dimmed: "What else can I do, I can only pray to God to bless my son to recover as soon as possible, if not..."

"Ma'am, are you willing to believe me?"

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhang were astonished, and quickly realized what Xu Ruqing meant: "So the young lady is a doctor?"

Xu Ruqing waved his hand: "I don't dare to be a doctor, but I just rely on ancestral homemade recipes to make a living. If you trust me, ma'am, why don't you let me take a look for Brother Zhang."
