On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 142 Strawberry Candied Haws

Lan Yue picked a few more, washed them, and handed them to Ye Yanjin.

No one else noticed the little movements made by the two.

Ye Yanjin took out a small basket and put some in it: "Let's go, let's go back and eat, the sun is too strong here."

Back in the yard, Lan Yue asked Ye Yanjin to take the strawberries to the kitchen to wash them, and then go and chop some bamboos, cut them into bamboo sticks, wash them, and string the strawberries together.

Soon, Ye Yanjin came back.

Carefully cut the bamboo into sticks and soak them in water with salt for a while.

Lan Yue took out a bag of rock sugar and started washing the pot and lighting the fire.

Pour sugar and water in a ratio of 2:1 into a pot and boil for about 20 minutes, then stir.

Ye Yanjin watched silently from the side.

Lan Yue watched for a while and saw that the syrup was slowly becoming less. Looking at the syrup in the pot, she saw that small, dense bubbles were coming out, just like light golden beer.

Lan Yue picked up the chopsticks and dipped them in the syrup. She slowly pulled up, and thin white threads were pulled out. Lan Yue knew that it was done.

"Ye Yanjin, string the strawberries together like I did." Lan Yue excitedly taught Ye Yanjin how to string the strawberries together. Then she placed the strung strawberries against the hot sugar, gently turning them on the rising foam, and coating them with a thin layer.

"Dipping in sugar may seem simple, but it requires skill." Lan Yue carefully placed the dipped strawberries on a plate. Looking at Ye Yanjin's cautious look, she added, "If the sugar is too thick, you won't be able to bite the strawberry when you take a bite, which is a failure."

"The sugar needs to be applied in a thin and even layer to be considered successful."

Lan Yue picked up the strawberry candied haws she had just made. She took a bite and it was crispy and sweet. "Mmm, delicious!"

Fairly successful.

Ye Yanjin put what she had made on a plate and took another string to continue dipping.

"Ayue, try to see if what I did was successful."

After Lan Yue finished eating what she had in her hand, she took the one made by Ye Yanjin to try.

"Hmm... it's a little hard, and there's a little too much sugar."

Ye Yanjin made another string of noodles. "Really? I'll be more careful then."

Lan Yue tried the food on the side, and Ye Yanjin continued to dip all the remaining strawberries in sugar.

Soon, the sugar in the pot was gone and the strawberry candied haws were ready.

"These skewers are pretty good." Lan Yue took one and put it to Ye Yanjin's mouth, "Try it."

"Hmm...delicious." Ye Yanjin ate a few and asked, "What is this called?"

"Strawberry candied haws." Lan Yue ate another string and stopped eating the rest.

Ye Yanjin ate two skewers and left the rest untouched as he didn’t really like sweets.

But if A Yue feeds him, he won't refuse.

"Let's save the rest for tomorrow." Lan Yue put the food into the space to keep it fresh.

Ye Yanjin was very touched. He didn't expect A Yue to be so unreserved towards her.

A Yue also has space.

He originally wanted to create a good space for her, but he didn't expect that A Yue already had it.

It seems that I have to change the gift.

After eating the candied strawberries, they went for a walk together.

The subordinates were busy until dark, but still failed to harvest all the vegetables and fruits.

"Everyone has worked hard. Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow." Lan Yue and Ye Yanjin looked at their subordinates and said, "Let's go eat first."

"Yes, young lady!"

Lan Yue didn't feel embarrassed. She and Ye Yanjin were dating with the intention of getting married.

Ye Yanjin quietly observed Lan Yue's reaction. Seeing that she was neither dissatisfied nor angry, he was relieved. He thought Ah Yue would mind. Unexpectedly, Ah Yue didn't mind at all that his subordinates addressed her like that, so...he had a chance to marry the beauty, right? -
Early the next morning, Lan Yue got up and ran around the farm three times.

Ye Yanjin got up and didn't see anyone, so she became anxious.

"Have you seen the young lady?" As soon as Ye Yanjin left the yard, he grabbed a subordinate and asked.

"Young Madam? She's running around the farm."

Ye Yanjin's eyes were a little confused, "Running?"

"Yes, young master, the young lady said so."

Ye Yanjin waved his hand, and the subordinate went to work immediately.

It seems that the young master really likes the young mistress, and likes her very much!
It's only been a short time since we last met, and you're so anxious.

Ye Yanjin stood on the third floor, released his spiritual sense, and immediately locked onto Lan Yue's position.

He teleported and appeared next to her.

Lan Yue sensed Ye Yanjin's presence and slowed down her pace.

"Ayue, you got up so early just to...run?"

"Well, I've been feeling a little lazy lately, so I thought about exercising."

Ye Yanjin looked at her and saw that she was sweating profusely. The clothes she was wearing were also strange, but... they showed off her figure very well!

Ye Yanjin's face darkened. "Ayue, your clothes..."

"It does show your figure a little, but there are not many people in Zhuangzi, right? It won't damage your reputation." Lan Yue saw that his face was not right, and knew in her heart that he felt that what he was wearing was too much.

"Ayue, if you want to wear it... you can wear it for me to see." Ye Yanjin was a little shy, but still said firmly, "You are my wife, I... don't allow you to wear this kind of clothes for others to see."

Lan Yue deliberately moved closer to him, "Really? You want to see me wearing this kind of clothes?"

"Um……"

When Ye Yanjin approached her, the fragrance from her body made his heart feel like it was on fire, very hot.

"Haha, Ye Yanjin you are so cute~" Lan Yue suddenly laughed, "Don't worry, although the clothes I wear are very tight, in the eyes of others I am wearing a very conservative dress. I won't let others see me wearing this kind of clothes."

Ye Yanjin: "..."

Lan Yue glanced at Ye Yanjin and ignored him.

Speed ​​up your feet and finish the last lap.

Ye Yanjin pursed his lips. Ah Yue... was she teasing him?
Looking at her receding back, Ye Yanjin went straight back to the yard and prepared some fruit for her.

After Lan Yue finished her last lap and did a few sets of stretching exercises, she slowly walked back to the yard.

Most of the vegetables and fruits grown in the fields may not be harvested in the next two days. Vegetables and fruits need a tool to keep them fresh. She has to do some research and make a refrigerator that suits this era.

When Lan Yue returned to the yard, she saw Ye Yanjin placing fruits, pastries, and a bowl of hot noodles in the yard.

"Ayue, go take a shower first, and you can eat when you come out."

Ye Yanjin smiled gently.

Lan Yue nodded and went back to the house.

A large tub for bathing had already been placed inside the house.

Lan Yue changed her clothes and sat in the bath to soak for a while.

Ye Yanjin actually put petals, which smelled quite fragrant
After taking a bath, Lan Yue went into the space to wash her hair, dried it with a hair dryer, changed into casual clothes, then left the space and went to the yard to find Ye Yanjin.

"Why did you come out with your hair all messy?" Ye Yanjin stood up and walked over. "Did you dry your hair?"

Ye Yanjin said as she reached out and touched it.

"It's dry, but not completely dry." Lan Yue raised her head slightly and looked at Ye Yanjin. "In this kind of weather, it will dry in a while."

Thank you for the reward from [caroletu]*
