The wood mage and the native brother

Chapter 39

When he was not in Xiaohe Village, Fei Nuo took turns ordering food and drinks at the restaurant, and came back feeling relaxed after eating and drinking.Although Brother Deng has passed the door now, but Fei Nuo didn't look at him in front of his husband, he only thought of an equal exchange and he didn't treat him badly, so he still asked the restaurant to deliver meals three times a day.

After Ji Deng finally packed up his mood and re-faced his life in Fei's house, he couldn't help but feel pain for Fei Nuo's behavior of spending money like water.After struggling in the room for a long time, did I ask Fei Nuo,

"Why don't you stop eating food from outside all the time, tell me what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you when I buy it?"

Fei Nuo has nothing to do, so he agreed when he heard Ji Deng say so, and handed over all the money in the family to Ji Deng for him to use.

Looking at Fei Nuo's defenseless appearance, Ji Deng didn't know what it was like.

Probably, it was because of his aunt that he was so kind to him.

Suppressing that sour idea, Ji Deng got up early every day and went to the stalls outside, and came back with a basket of vegetables, quickly made a steaming breakfast for Fei Nuo and Ji Xiaomei to eat.

When Fei Nuo woke up from the waking up, there was steamed egg, mantou, stir-fried vegetables and rice dumpling soup within reach. Eating it warm was more comfortable than eating in a restaurant.

Just looking at the sweat on the tip of Ji Deng's nose and the flushed cheeks, Fei Nuo said with concern,

"Aren't you tired? Why don't you order food from outside? You wake up early and you're tired, and the fire room is hot. You don't know how hard it is to cook. Don't suffer from it."

Ji Deng pursed his lips, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said to Fei Nuo,

"It doesn't matter, it's just cooking, I don't know how easy it is. Cooking for you...I'm willing too."

Fino paused with his chopsticks, only to hear Ji Deng say again,

"It's going to be hot in a few days, I'll make some Lengtao cold salad, it tastes refreshing, and it's easy to make. It doesn't matter."

Now that Ji Deng had made up his mind, Fei Nuo stopped trying to persuade him, and only asked,

"Then you don't have to get up so early. I don't go out to work, and you don't have much to do when you get up early in the morning. It doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer and wake up later."

Ji Deng bit the steamed bun and listened quietly to Fei Nuo's every word, and finally answered in a low voice.

But obviously Ji Deng didn't listen much to what Fei Nuo said.Every day when Fei Nuo wakes up from the cage sleep, he can see the breakfast that is already prepared on the table. One day, he will make fried pancakes the next, making them in different ways.

Not to mention three meals a day with this standard, Ji Deng also has to take care of the cleaning of the courtyard and the mopping of the house, so there is no free time at the end of the day.After finally seeing that there was no work to do, Ji Deng locked himself in the house again, and Fei Nuo couldn't see anyone.

Although Fei Nuo had satisfied his appetite, he always felt unwell in his heart.The dark green pupils narrowed slightly, this is Ji Deng, is he treating himself as a servant?

Fino frowned, he didn't bring the season lantern back to serve him.If he can't speak two words a day like this, it will take years for Fei Nuo to get enough information about Da'an?He still thinks about the life goal of traveling in Da'an and settling down.

So taking advantage of sitting with Ji Deng during the day, Fei Nuo sat next to Ji Deng, sniffing the tip of his nose inadvertently, and all the plant species that Ji Deng had come into contact with these days were identified.

When the dark green eyes rolled slightly, Fei Nuo had an idea.

Without Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Xu staring at her, Ji Deng has resumed her old business in a fair and honest way these days, buying some Ligusticum edodes and Angelica dahurica in the incense shop, and mixing the same amount is a good and cheap detox in the shop. oil powder.A while ago, because of the marriage, the store was out of stock for a few days, now it was free, and Ji Deng started to take care of it again.With the money I get, I often use some of it to buy eggs and meat, and cook it for Fei Nuo, which is regarded as the rent for him and Ji Xiaomei to live here.

It's just that it takes time and effort to sew the sachet, and Ji Deng can't make a few in a day, so I just have some spare money on hand, so I just bought some cheap wooden bottles, but the cost is a bit expensive after all.Selling a bottle, Ji Deng can only earn a penny, but fortunately, he can earn some money if he sells it.

Ji Deng thought that he should support himself and not cause trouble for Fei Nuo.But at this rate of earning money, look at the rate at which Fei Nuo spends money...

The more Ji Deng thought about it, the more worried he became, and the action of mixing Ligusticum dahurica in his hand slowed down unconsciously.

Just then, Fino called out,

"Brother Deng, come out and have a look."

What to look at?

Ji Deng pushed the door open in response.Could it be that Fei Nuo bought something new and came back?

As soon as he went out, he saw a mat spread out in the courtyard, covered with green bamboo slices and strips, stacked as high as a hill.Fei Nuo was moving Maza and sitting beside him, with a few strips of bamboo at his fingertips, bending and bending, pulling and folding, the bamboo strips gradually took shape, a palm-sized box was revealed in the palm of his hand, the bamboo strips were tightly seamed, and A pull-out lid, small and delicate.

"This is……"

Ji Deng had guessed for a while, but his eyes widened in surprise.

Fei Nuo smiled triumphantly, put the bamboo box in Ji Deng's palm, took a few more bamboo strips and wove it together,

"This box is very tight. I bought it specially baked. It will never be rotted by insects. It is not a problem to store it for a year."

Fino repeated what the shop assistant said, and said,

"Take it and fill it with water. If it leaks a little, I'll dismantle it and reassemble it for you."

Ji Deng unconsciously tightened his palms, the corners of the box were square, but there was no burr at all, the tentacles felt smooth and smooth, and he really couldn't put it down.

Seeing Ji Deng's amazed expression, Fei Nuo suppressed the complacency in his eyes, and said with a smile,

"Aren't you grinding powder recently? Use this to pretend, so as not to waste money."

Ji Deng took a breath.In the past few days, he really didn't avoid Fei Nuo by making hair removal powder, because it wasn't necessary.It's just that he didn't expect that he didn't even notice his worries, and bought so many bamboo strips...

Ji Deng smiled wryly.Fei Nuo always treated him so well, how could he not think too much?But I can't think too much about it.

It's just that there is more owed to Fei Nuo.

Suppressing the soreness in his heart, Ji Deng smiled and moved Maza to sit beside Fino,

"I'll make it up with you."

Fino refused.

"It's faster if I'm familiar with everyone alone. You just take these compiled ones and put them in."

In two sentences, Fei Nuo has already made up another one.

When Ji Deng heard this, he stopped being stubborn and went back to the house with the bamboo box in his arms.Be it Ligusticum powder or powdered Angelica dahurica, they fly in the wind, and Ji Deng dare not take them out, so they can only pack them in the house.

So the two made up a costume one by one, and soon formed a tacit understanding.In addition to the box for the season lamp, it is necessary to mix two kinds of spices, and after a delay, it will catch up with the speed of Fei Nuo's weaving box.

After a lot of work, all the bags of raw materials that Ji Deng bought a few days ago were packed into small bamboo boxes.And there is still one third of the bamboo strips on the mat.

Fino rolled up the mat and put it away, smiled and said to Ji Deng,

"Just keep it for next time, is it enough for today?"

Ji Deng looked at the bamboo boxes piled up on the table, and smiled contentedly,

"Enough is enough, these can be sold for a long time today."

Fifty boxes were placed in the past, about half a month's worth.However, Ji Deng didn't expect that after only five or six days, Mr. Xu from the Fragrance Shop cheerfully urged him to order the goods.

"The fifty boxes have been sold out! Brother Deng, let's make some more and send them over as soon as possible, as many as you want."

Ji Deng was surprised,

"How did it sell so fast this time?"

Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes with a smile,

"The customer said yes after using it, and then called relatives to buy it. There will be no more than fifty boxes. Brother Deng can buy more raw materials this time, and go back to make more."

After speaking, Mr. Xu lowered his voice,

"Brother Deng is really better than blue. He is more talented than your father. He improved Xiang Fangzi so quickly, which is much better than the original one. He is really a spirited child."

Xiangfangzi?

Ji Deng frowned.He has always followed Qi's prescription and never changed it.

No matter what Ji Deng thinks, Mr. Xu has obviously certified Ji Deng as a young genius, and recruited a buddy to pack the spices for Ji Deng.

"I'll take it to you? Where do you live?"

asked the man, carrying a burlap bag.

Just as Ji Deng was about to answer, he slanted out an arm to take the bag, Ji Deng turned his head to look, and it was Fei Nuo who was leading Xiaomei Ji out for a stroll.

Fino smiled and nodded to the buddy,

"Just give it to me."

So he took the bag from the stunned buddy, smiled and said to Ji Deng,

"Why don't you go home? I bought a roast chicken, warm up steamed buns at night, pat a cucumber, and make rice dumplings with rice wine, okay?"

Ji Deng followed Fei Nuo, listening to him talking about what he wanted to eat for dinner and what he wanted to eat tomorrow morning. In the afterglow of the setting sun, his dark blue hair was not easy to distinguish from jet black, only a layer of golden light could be seen on it.

And Ji Xiaomei was holding onto the dim sum bought by Fei Nuo and was gnawing on it, following Fei Nuo's step by step. When Fei Nuo reported the name of the dish, Ji Xiaomei nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, looking like a little glutton.

Ji Deng looked at it and suddenly smiled.

Isn't such a day exactly what he imagined.Living in a house that shelters from the wind and rain, and the family lives together in harmony, worrying about what to eat for the next meal is already the biggest worry.

There is nothing he is not satisfied with.

"It's better to replace the glutinous rice balls with soup. I want to eat something salty."

The dark green pupils looked over inquiringly.

Ji Deng lowered his head and smiled, took the initiative to take the roast chicken from Fei Nuo's hand,

"Okay, steamed buns and cucumbers with roast chicken, and a pot of soup."

……

Fei Nuo didn't expect these changes in Ji Deng's mind. Seeing that Ji Deng was no longer hiding from him, he thought that he had coaxed him well, so he let it go.

Helping weave some bamboo boxes and mixing some incense powder every day, and taking care of Ji Xiaomei and the two heavy buildings that are sold for money are all the tasks of Fei Nuo. very.

So Fino turned his attention to eating.

Since Ji Lan passed through the door, Fei Nuo seldom eats food and drinks from restaurants.It's not that Ji Deng is some kind of hidden celebrity chef, Ji Deng's cooking skills can only be said to be good or bad, but Fei Nuo always feels that it tastes more unclear than what he ordered from a restaurant.

All in all, it feels pretty good.
