Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Stay here tonight
Not long after the two sat down, Li Yui ca over, carrying her child.
The child was snugly wrapped in a little blanket, clearly still deep in sleep, Ling Feng quickly took the child from her and placed her on the bed in the inner room.
Afterward, he ca out and said to the two won who were exchanging greetings, "Perfect timing, while the child is asleep, Yu i can have a peaceful al. I’ll serve it right up!"
Monts later, a steaming and fragrant plate of snake at was brought to the table, Li Shiyun sniffed and curiously asked, "What kind of at is this? Why does it sll so good?"
"Don’t ask yet, just try it. It tastes even better!"
Ling Feng teased them for a mont and served a big piece to Li Yui before taking one himself and putting it in his mouth, then he imdiately praised, "Delicious!"
Seeing the others eating, Li Shiyun hesitantly picked up a piece and took a bite.
The snake at was soft and tender, lting in the mouth almost instantly, filling her mouth with a rich and savory flavor.
Firstly, the snake had already developed a asure of intelligence, or else it wouldn’t have been guarding the Lingzhi mushrooms, and secondly, Ling Feng’s culinary skills, honed over the years, had reached a certain level, which was why the snake at tasted so good.
After eating a piece, Li Yui looked up at Ling Feng and asked, "Brother Ling Feng, it’s been a long ti since we had snake at. Where did you catch such a big snake?"
"In the mountains, of course. Definitely not near the village, otherwise it would have been stewed by soone as soon as it showed its head!" Ling Feng mumbled through his mouthful of snake at.
Li Shiyun had just swallowed a mouthful of at when she heard the conversation and imdiately widened her eyes in shock, "What! This is snake, snake at??"
Her voice trembled, and her face went pale!
Ling Feng glanced at her, "Yeah, you’ve never tasted this delicacy before, have you?"
"Why didn’t you say so earlier!" Li Shiyun was both shocked and angry. If it hadn’t been for Li Yui sitting nearby, she would have slamd the table!
"Heh, I thought you might be too scared to eat it if I told you. But now, after you’ve already eaten so much, is there any point in being nervous?" Ling Feng chuckled, then asked.
Li Shiyun was really upset. She had been terrified of snakes since she was little, and the re sight of one could send her into shivers, making her forget how to walk!
And now, she had been tricked into eating snake at, which was too much!
Seeing her displeased face, Li Yui felt sowhat responsible and hurriedly said, "Shiyun, don’t be mad. Ling Feng ant well. Actually, eating snake at is fine, and it even has a nourishing effect on us won!"
"Really?" Li Shiyun asked, startled, and looked at Ling Feng.
"Of course, especially for you. Although snake at is considered slightly cool, it’s beneficial for your condition and can help expel the cold from your body!" Ling Feng nodded.
Seeing that Li Shiyun was still hesitant after hearing this, he added, "Actually, if you think about it differently, you can turn your hatred into your appetite. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?"
Li Shiyun gave him a glare, sat down, and said, "Fine, you guys eat. I’ve lost my appetite!"
"What a waste. If you won’t eat, we will!" Ling Feng winked at Li Yui.
At this mont, Li Shiyun was actually struggling inside. She had tasted exotic delicacies before, but this was her first ti experiencing the great taste of snake at, and after eating a few bites, she had felt her body warming up and a very comfortable sensation.
Watching Li Yui and Ling Feng eating heartily, she gritted her teeth, picked up a piece of snake at, and said, "Alright, I’ll eat too!"
Ling Feng and Li Yui couldn’t help but laugh at her change of heart, but they were careful not to embarrass her, so they just kept their heads down and continued eating.
After the al, Ling Feng patted his stomach contentedly. Seeing that there was still more than half a pot of snake at left, he scooped it all out, making a large bowlful along with the white, thick soup.
He then turned to the two won, "Let’s divide this into two portions. You can take it ho and eat it tomorrow, right?"
"What about you?" Li Yui asked.
"I am a man, eating too much isn’t good, if I beca effeminate, that would be troubleso!" Ling Feng said with a straight face.
Li Yui burst into laughter, and Li Shiyun also couldn’t help but giggle, but she knew he was joking, so she nodded and said, "After eating it, my whole body feels comfortable, so I won’t stand on ceremony with you, please pack
a portion."
"Sure, if the Village Chief likes it, I will catch so more snakes for you in the future!" Ling Feng nodded.
Li Shiyun smiled, "We are all so familiar with each other, no need to call
Village Chief anymore, just Shiyun will do."
"That’s fine too." Ling Feng nodded, then rembered sothing, "Right, I forgot to give you your wallet last night, it’s here!"
"I guessed it was with you, I ca over for that just now!" Li Shiyun said as she took it.
Watching them talk, Li Yui felt sowhat confused and asked, "Shiyun, did you stay over here last night?"
"No!"
"Not at all!"
Ling Feng and Li Shiyun both denied it at the sa ti, but it had the opposite effect of looking like a cover-up!
Seeing this, Li Yui’s lips curved up slightly but she didn’t ask further, as the child in the inner room woke up and started crying, so she quickly went in to hold the baby.
Ling Feng was quick-handed and had the snake at packed up when Li Yui also ca out carrying the child.
"It’s getting late, let
take you guys ho." Holding two servings of snake at, Ling Feng said to the two won.
The trio left the house, first dropping off Li Shiyun at the village committee office, watched her enter the house, then Ling Feng turned to accompany Li Yui ho.
Walking along the road, he said, "By the way, Yui, the money should be about all there by tomorrow, I’ll call them to repay the debt once I’m back, so you don’t need to worry anymore."
"So soon?"
Li Yui was sowhat surprised and turned to look at him as she asked.
"Yeah, I’ve been lucky, caught quite a few pheasants these last few days and made so money!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Then, thank you so much, Brother Ling Feng, I will rember your kindness!" Li Yui said with her head lowered.
Ling Feng shook his head, "No need for thanks, taking care of you and Huzi is what I ought to do!"
Talking like this, they had already reached her house.
Li Yui took the snake at from Ling Feng’s hand and stood there, not imdiately entering the house and seeming to be hesitating about sothing.
Ling Feng noticed and asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Brother Ling Feng, why don’t you stay over, stay over here tonight?"
Li Yui’s face flushed and she spoke in a very low voice, her head bowed.
Asking a woman to say such a thing was truly too difficult, especially since she was naturally shy, and at that mont her face felt as hot as if it were on fire, burning hot.
Ling Feng was taken aback, not expecting her to say that, and though his heart was sowhat excited, and even a voice was shouting inside him, "Agree, stay over, there’s good stuff tonight!" he still shook his head, "No, I need to get up early tomorrow to go into the city, you should go back and rest early!"
After saying that he turned and left, leaving Li Yui standing at the door, staring blankly!
"Doesn’t he like ?"
