Succubus' Manor

On the way back, Chi Yan didn't talk much to Kleist. Once he saw Kleist's face, he was speechless. He had never been in a relationship, let alone had a "boyfriend".

How to talk about love between men?

He has seen Benedict get along with his male lover, and the two seem to get along very naturally, like good friends.

After Chi Yan set foot on his own territory, he finally found the feeling of getting along with Kleist naturally.

"I have to go back and take a good bath." Chi Yan yawned.

Kleist also smiled and asked, "Do you want to go together?"

Chi Yan said seriously: "I'm not yet an adult! What's going on in your mind?"

Kleist was a little confused: "I didn't think about anything."

It's not that they haven't washed together, one barrel per person, what's wrong?

Chi Yan said righteously: "You have to wait for me no matter what."

Kleist didn't know why: "Sixteen is an adult."

Chi Yan frowned: "You still said you didn't think about anything? Kleist, I didn't expect you to be such a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes."

In order to prevent Chi Yan from continuing, Kleist could only follow Chi Yan's words: "Eighteen, just eighteen, it's all up to you."

Only then did Chi Yan shut up honestly.

Although his mental age is already an adult, he is only in another world. He has just stepped out of high school. During his school days, he either played games or went to school. The environment he came into contact with was relatively simple.

His family is a well-to-do family with loving parents. Although they are not particularly rich, they are not poor either. They have everything they should have and have many friends.

After crossing over, he stayed in the holy courtyard for several years.

The environment of the holy courtyard is more closed, and the people inside are very friendly. Coupled with Chi Yan's special "charm", he has never been exposed to any dark side.

If dark cuisine is also considered dark, then it is probably considered exposure.

So although Chi Yan has lived for more than 20 years, his mental age is not very old.

The butler greeted Chi Yan as soon as he entered the castle. This time Chi Yan spent nearly five days going back and forth, almost all of which was spent on the road. The butler was worried in the castle, so when he saw Chi Yan, he immediately After saluting restrainedly, he excitedly looked at Chi Yan from top to bottom.

After looking around, he arranged for the servants to prepare bath water, and then asked Chi Yan if he had a good time going out this time.

Chi Yan told the truth, anyway, there is no need to lie in front of the housekeeper: "It's not as good as I thought, and there are many bugs on the road, which bite me all over."

The butler frowned tightly, feeling extremely distressed: "I'll invite you to go there next time. You can't go if you don't say anything."

However, Chi Yan, who came back, also heard good news, that is, there are a lot of fish in the river these days, and it is probably the breeding season of local fish, and the fish in the river can almost use a rattan frame to net a basket, but The only problem is how to store it. Fish meat, which is high in protein, is most perishable at this time of year.

There is not so much salt to make salted fish - the salt Chi Yan bought is only enough for daily consumption, it is obviously not enough to marinate fish, and it is too wasteful.

But you can't just watch the fish rot and deteriorate. If it can be stored, people in the territory will have an extra ration in the future, and there will be more food on the table.

Smoked dry seems to be ok.

Chi Yan thought for a long time, and finally came up with a solution.

"Make fish floss." Chi Yan said to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper looked puzzled, he had never even heard of meat floss.

Before crossing over, most of the meat floss that Chi Yan bought in the supermarket were pork floss and beef floss. Only his mother made fish floss at home, so he knew how to make fish floss.

In addition to craftsmanship, the requirements for tools are not high.

Chi Yan called Anna over, and the laymen began to give advice to the insiders.

"Marinate the fish with salt and spices, then steam it in a pan, don't steam it too badly, then remove the bones, tear off the meat along the lines, dry it and put it in an iron pan for frying." Chi Yan, "Don't use too much heat, stir fry slowly to avoid burning, add some spices when frying, and wait until the frying is dry."

It can be kept for a long time, and it is chewy and fragrant. When Chi Yan used to drink porridge, he always served it with fish floss and spread it on the porridge. A mouthful of porridge was full of meat floss. He was so happy.

Because Chi Yan doesn't like spices, there are still a lot of spices in the kitchen, and it doesn't take too much spices to fry a pot of fish floss.

The only problem is Anna's craftsmanship.

"Don't use spices when you start frying, and use them when you can fry them." Chi Yan confessed.

Anna was both excited and terrified. She was excited because this was a new skill. Even if Chi Yan didn't want her in the future, she could still rely on this skill to fill her stomach. The fear was because she was worried that she couldn't do it well.

Chi Yan comforted: "Don't worry, there are plenty of fish, just practice more."

Encouraged by Chi Yan, Anna started the arduous practice of frying fish floss from morning to night. The fish caught during this period were either smoked or eaten directly.

The slaves also started a rare life with meat. This kind of local fish has black skin and rough meat, but it has only one main spine, so there is no need to worry about being stuck in the throat by the fishbone.

Chi Yan asked the housekeeper strangely: "Since there are every year, how did you deal with them in previous years?"

Steward: "The previous lords didn't like fish, so they wouldn't send people to salvage it."

Compared with fish, the former lords of course prefer chicken or beef. Although it is not easy to get, they are still lords, as long as they spend money, they can buy them. They are not as conscious as poor people like Chi Yan, and they don't know how to save money.

After spending nearly a week and making countless failed products, I finally made fish floss, and this time the spices she put in were just right, and it didn’t feel complicated and weird in my mouth. Chewing more fragrant.

Anna, who made the meat floss, was rewarded, and all the meat floss she made on the first day belonged to herself.

That is a huge amount of meat floss, she has been making it from morning to night, and there is a bucket full.

That night, Anna returned home with a wooden barrel of dried meat floss—she had already taken her parents over, because she had a decent job, so her parents only rented a small piece of land in the field. Planted Katuo and a little bit of wheat.

As for taxes, Anna's salary can pay.

So in the territory, Anna's family had the best life.

It was already dark when Anna went back, and there were a few torches burning in the territory, so she didn’t worry about falling down. Although there were a lot of meat floss, it was not heavy. She could lift the barrel with one hand and walked steadily on the road. .

"Anna!" The servants were going home at this time, and after seeing Anna, they greeted Anna warmly.

Anna is the most embarrassing person in front of adults now!

Build a good relationship with Anna, maybe you can get some leftover good things from adults in the future! .

After Anna responded, she hurried back home. Her parents came early, so their house was built in a very good place. Anna had no brothers and sisters. Her mother only gave birth to her child, and her mother also A cook.

After marrying a commoner, the steward kicked her mother out of the castle and made a relative of her own cook.

And the tax increase every year is obviously not something an ordinary family can support.

Anna was able to get the opportunity to work for the nobles because of luck, and her aunt introduced her here.

Her mother also gave up the opportunity to her daughter.

In recent years, their family has relied on Anna's income to barely pay taxes, and the harvest in the field can barely fill their stomachs.

After knocking on the door, Anna's father opened the door for her.

"Come in, your mother cooked wild vegetable soup for you."

Recently, Anna came back later and later, she was always hungry, and her family cared about her, so they would prepare supper for her.

Although night snacks are cheap things like wild vegetables, but for Anna, this is the motivation for her to work hard.

"I got the fish floss out!" Anna excitedly said to her parents. In front of her parents, she didn't have to hide her pride.

Then she put the wooden barrel on the table, a bucket full of fish floss, because of the spices, so the fish floss is reddish and fragrant.

Anna's father looked confused: "What is fish floss?"

He knew that Anna was so busy recently because she had to cook new dishes according to the lord's request, but he didn't hear any specific words from Anna.

Anna's mother came out with wild vegetable soup. In addition to the wild vegetables, there were also a few lumps, just enough for Anna to eat, no more and no less. Her mother has been aging rapidly since she lost her job as a cook. When she came down, she looked ten years older than her husband.

"Anna." The mother's hair was yellow, her face was wrinkled, and her eyelids were drooping. She looked fierce and old-fashioned, and she was not easy to get along with.

But when she saw her daughter, a completely different smile appeared on her face.

Anna hurried over to hug her mother: "I made fish floss!"

Mother excitedly said: "Did you tell the adults?!"

She had only seen the lord from a distance, but had never spoken to him. For this too young lord, she was grateful for the kindness and generosity of the other party, but worried that this kindness and generosity would overwhelm him.

Anna took her mother's hand and showed her the wooden barrel she put on the table. The fish floss inside was very beautiful and smelled like spices. She didn't put much spices, but it was enough.

"Your Excellency said these are rewards for me." Anna blushed. No matter how well she did in the past, she did not have any rewards. After a long time, she stopped making progress and never thought of changing. There is no requirement for the taste of the food, so her cooking skills have always been like that.

Now the new lord is willing to let her make delicious food that only the lord knows, and will reward her for making it. Anna feels that there will never be any moment in her life where she can be happier than now.

Her chest was warm and full.

Anna's mother stretched out her hand, pinched a little bit of fish and loosened it into her mouth.

Fragrant and chewy, but very fluffy, the meat feels so good on the tip of the tongue, and it doesn't have the characteristic fishy smell.

The more she chewed, the more delicious it became, Anna's mother closed her eyes enjoying it.

It has been a long time since she enjoyed food like this. Since she stopped working for the nobles, she has been running around for a living every day, and she is very lucky to be able to fill her stomach, let alone enjoy food.

There are too few spices that can deodorize the fish. The lord my mother served in the past never ate fish. The fishy smell cannot be suppressed. Even if it is meat, I don’t want to eat it. The common people cannot catch fish without the lord’s consent. , let alone slaves.

And the lord would never think of giving an order to let the civilians catch fish.

If a civilian is caught fishing secretly, the end will be very miserable. Without the permission of the lord, stealthy hunting is also considered stealing. Even the slightest theft, such as picking a mushroom, must be cut off hands.

Nobody would take a risk while they could still live.

Only the kind of people who are struggling to survive will choose to risk their hands being cut off to find food.

Anna's mother took a deep breath, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes: "Your Excellency is too kind."

And adults are still so small.

Anna stretched out her hand to wipe her mother's tears, she said with a smile: "It's much better now than before."

"As long as the grown-ups are here, we can live our lives forever."

The speed at which Anna can make fish floss by herself is very limited. After all, there is no machine, and it all depends on manpower. It has to be stir-fried constantly to avoid burning and burning, and the firepower has to be kept low. Even if there are servants who watch the fire, the cook Mother herself has to pay attention at all times.

Although Anna has done a good job, Chi Yan still feels that the speed is a bit slow, after all, the fish will swim away soon.

The breeding season will not last for a few days. I can take this opportunity to make more meat floss and smoked fish, and I can have an extra dish on the table in autumn and winter.

After learning that Anna's mother was also a cook, Chi Yan asked Anna to take her mother to the kitchen.

But it is not considered as a regular worker, it is just a short-term worker who has been busy for a few days and is paid according to the number of days.

In this way, the two women in Anna's family began to eat public meals. The land at home happened to be looked after by Anna's father. There was not much land, and one person was enough.

After finally waiting for Chi Yan to be free, Kleist and Chi Yan sat at the dining table and had dinner.

——In fact, there are two huge and unconscious light bulbs, Carl and Albert.

But in Kleist's view, this is already a dinner together.

The staple food for dinner is steamed buns, and the side dishes include dried smoked fish, wild vegetable soup and katuo mud. The dried smoked fish is placed on a small plate with some condiments poured on it, which tastes good.

Because they ate very well during this period of time, Carl and Albert did not gobble up like before, but chewed carefully and savored slowly. After a long time with Chi Yan, their mouths were also spoiled. , In the past, it was enough to have something to eat, and it was enough to put more spices, but now I have begun to pay attention to the taste.

"My lord, I think meat floss is better than smoked fish!" Carl said seriously.

Smoked fish always has a burnt-like smell, and it is blackened by smoke, which makes it very unappetizing at first glance.

Although it is not bad after being poured with seasoning, it cannot be compared with meat floss.

Chi Yan was not used to his picky mouth, so he said impatiently: "I love to eat, but if I don't eat, I'll be discouraged. So many people outside are still hungry."

Carl: "..."

He bowed his head in silence.

Chi Yan ate very well. He used to be anorexic because the cook's dishes were too unpalatable. Now that the cook's cooking skills are normal, he no longer has the problem of picky eaters. Besides, he doesn't eat shiitake mushrooms. All good.

Especially meat, as long as it is not unpalatable, he can eat it.

It's a pity that there are no fat pigs here. If only there were lard and pork belly-that would be the fairy days.

Now it can only be regarded as barely out of poverty, and it is still far from a well-off life!

Kleist ate quietly, and his appearance was extremely elegant, probably because of him, now Chi Yan began to pay attention to his manners when eating.

After all, he is a lord, so no matter what, he can't lose face too much.

Chi Yan saw that Kleist quickly put down his chopsticks—under Chi Yan's leadership, all the dining utensils in the territory had been replaced with chopsticks except for those who couldn't hold their chopsticks steadily.

For civilians and slaves, knives and forks are luxury goods, they must be made of metal, and it costs a lot of money to buy a pair of knives and forks.

As a result, the poor almost always catch them directly.

Now that I have chopsticks, I can use them by just breaking two branches, and I don’t have to worry about burning my mouth when I eat. Except that it is difficult to learn at the beginning, I find it very convenient after learning, mainly because it is cheap and does not cost money.

And the lords are all using them, which has led to this wave of learning to use chopsticks.

But unlike the others, Chi Yan's chopsticks are made of silver.

Because the butler is really nagging——

"My lord, how can you use wooden chopsticks like slaves and civilians? This is not in line with your noble status! You should at least have a pair of golden chopsticks!"

Chi Yan: "Gold is soft, what should I do if I bend it?"

The housekeeper insisted: "Then change it to silver! My lord, I can't change it any more. How can I go out to meet people if I change it to iron?"

Chi Yan had no choice but to use this unique pair of silver chopsticks.

After Carl and Albert left, Chi Yan went back to his room to sleep, but this time was different, Kleist also followed him and entered his room, only the housekeeper was shut out, wanting to smash the door .

He stood angrily for a while, then moved a chair and sat at Chi Yan's door.

"What are you doing? I'm going to wash up after a while." Chi Yan leaned on the bed and looked up at Kleist.

He still felt a little uncomfortable.

Kleist sat by the bed: "We didn't talk properly today."

Chi Yan turned his head unnaturally: "Aren't you talking?"

Kleist sighed: "Are you starting to hate me now?"

Chi Yan immediately said, "Absolutely not!"

Kleist lowered his head, looking from Chi Yan's point of view, Kleist was very pitiful, his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was extremely sad and depressed.

Chi Yan hurriedly coaxed: "What's the matter? Don't be sad, I'm just too busy. Look, I'm talking to you right now?"

Kleist said softly, "I thought you regretted it."

Chi Yan quickly patted his chest and assured: "Absolutely not."

Kleist can also hunt wild boars and barbecue, and is so beautiful, it is hard to find a boyfriend even with a lantern.

"I, I'm just not used to it." Chi Yan whispered, "I don't know how to get along with you."

When you are looking for a boyfriend for the first time in your life, you have to give him time to adapt, right?

Kleist stretched out his hand, and he stroked Chi Yan's cheek tenderly. Under his caress, Chi Yan got goosebumps all over his body, but he was afraid that he would hurt Kleis again after pushing Kleist away. Te's heart could only tremble and bear Kleist's touch.

Kleist: "I just want you to be happy."

Chi Yan made a decisive decision: "Happy! Very happy! I'm extremely happy!"

Chi Yan suddenly said: "If you have nothing to do, you can take someone to hunt in the woods tomorrow. It would be great if you can hunt wild boars."

The expression on Kleist's face was a little stunned, and he said helplessly, "Apart from pigs, can you think of anything else?"

Chi Yan was very surprised: "Don't you want to eat pork?"

Kleist felt that Chi Yan was probably the only one who was so obsessed with pork.

Moreover, wild boars are hard to come by, almost all of them live in the woods, and it is rare to see them out for activities. The last time they were able to catch them, Kleist was lucky.

But since Chi Yan wanted to eat, he could only say, "Okay, I'll take someone out tomorrow."

The smile on Chi Yan's face became more natural: "I knew you were the best!"

Kleist suddenly withdrew his smile and looked at Chi Yan scrutinizingly.

Chi Yan was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Kleist: "You promised me, is it just because I can kill wild boars?"

Chi Yan: "How is it possible!"

Kleist's expression improved a lot.

Chi Yan went on to say: "There are so many people who can hunt wild boars, do I like all of them? Only you can hunt wild boars, you are so beautiful, you have a good personality, you are smart and know a lot..."

He counted Kleist's various advantages before saying: "Of course, being able to fight wild boars also adds a lot of charm to you."

Kleist was speechless and could only sigh: "If I hit a wild boar, what reward can I get?"

Chi Yan: "What do you want?"

Kleist said very directly this time: "Sleep together at night."

Chi Yan also said quickly: "No!"

Kleist frowned slightly.

Chi Yan explained: "We are all men and women, boyfriends, sleeping together is very dangerous."

Kleist understood Chi Yan's meaning. Seeing the sincerity of the rejection on Chi Yan's face, he didn't make any more demands, and just said, "That's fine."

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. If Kleist used this face to ask repeatedly, he would definitely not be able to refuse the other party.

It's so hard to be a man who dotes on his wife!

Chi Yan felt that if this continued, his bottom line might be lost.

"Then, can I ask for another reward?" Kleist looked into Chi Yan's eyes.

Chi Yan was fascinated by the other party's eyes: "Say it."

Kleist approached Chi Yan and whispered something in Chi Yan's ear.

Chi Yan instantly blushed.

"Is it okay?" Krystal asked with a smile.

Chi Yan lowered his head and whispered, "I, I'll think about it."

"Your request is a bit too much." Chi Yan groaned.

Kleist: "How can it not be called too much?"

Kleist smiled and said, "Don't worry, think slowly. I'll go hunting after you think it over."

After finishing speaking, Kleist turned around and left Chi Yan's room gracefully.

Liu Chiyan shouted from behind: "Kleist! You've learned badly!"
