I got rich from food

Yu Xi picked up a grasshopper and put it in his mouth while chewing and said, "It tastes like chicken, if you don't believe me, try it too."

Chen Yu couldn't help swallowing when she smelled the fragrance in the air. She only drank two mouthfuls of porridge in the morning. She was so hungry that she couldn't resist picking up a grasshopper to eat.

This taste is really delicious, I don't know if it is an illusion, she feels that it really tastes like chicken, and there is a slight spicy taste, which makes her feel oily but not greasy, and Chen Yu's mouth is full of oil.

When Father Chu came back, he saw that his daughter-in-law didn't know what to eat. When he saw that the food in the basin turned out to be locusts, he frowned and said, "Don't eat it, lady, you can't eat locusts."

"Xianggong, this is really delicious. It's not poisonous. Try it." Chen Yu handed a dry-stir-fried grasshopper to his Xianggong. When Chu Xiong thought that it was a pest that harmed his crops, he took it and bit it viciously.

There was also a crunching sound in the quiet room. Chu Xiong did not expect that this scourge tasted so delicious, and it also smelled like chicken.

Since his son got sick, he never ate meat again. Both the husband and wife ate their mouths full of grease. They didn't realize until the grasshoppers in the pot were gone. Chu Xiong was also a little embarrassed. Carrying a basket to catch locusts.

"Sister Yu, how do you eat this?" Zhang Xin, the neighbor next door, came in with a small basket in her arms. She knew that because of Chu Nian's illness, the two elders had a very hard life, but she didn't expect to eat locusts, so she said: " Sister Yu, if you don’t have enough food in your house, I still have some in my house, and I’ll send you a bag of sorghum rice.”

"No, Xinmei, this locust is really edible. Xiao Xi said it's called a grasshopper. It contains high protein and is very nutritious," Chen Yu said.

Hearing what she said clearly and logically, Zhang Xin couldn't help being a little suspicious, so he took a bite of the grasshopper from Chen Yu's hand.

The crispy taste, the tender meat, and the crispy and numb feeling made her lick the oily shine on her fingers, and then said excitedly:

"This is really delicious, why do I feel like it smells like meat?"

Here, Chu Nian also ate a few grasshoppers and couldn’t eat anymore. He felt that his body was really a burden. Don't give up on yourself, at least do something for him.

"Xiao Xi, do you want to study?"

Yu Xi didn't expect that he would ask himself this question. In his eyes, he was a girl. Most people in this era are unwilling to teach a girl to read, thinking that it is enough for them to be husband and son.

The original owner also learned a few simple characters from his mother when he was young, but he never learned it again.

Recalling the characters of Da'an Kingdom, Yu Xi had to admit that she became illiterate, so she nodded quickly and said, "I want to learn."

"Ahem, Xiao Xi, go and get the second book from the right on the third shelf." Chu Nian coughed twice, and then struggled to sit up from the bed. He felt that he was in good health today .

So I wanted to teach him a little more skills while I still have time, knowing how to read is better than not being able to do anything.

Yu Xi walked over with the book, and saw that Chu Nian's face was a little rosier than yesterday, and the aura radiating from her body would make him more comfortable, but it is not so easy for him to recover.

Yu Xi took his pulse last night while he was sleeping, and found that his condition was very complicated, and the medicinal materials he needed were also very expensive, which the family could not afford.

Because of the limited conditions, Chu Nian planned to let Yu Xi learn to read first, and then practice how to write with branches in the yard. He flipped through the book and pointed to the first word with his finger and said, "Xiao Xi reads the word An."

Yu Xi looked at the word he was pointing at. This word looked like a woman sitting in a house. Chu Nian took his hand and wrote stroke by stroke in his palm. Yu Xi felt a little Itchy, fingers curled up unconsciously.

"Remember?"

"Huh?" It was only then that Yu Xi realized that she had just looked at her benefactor's face too seriously, and didn't pay attention to what he was saying.

Chu Nian smiled helplessly, then wrote in the palm of his hand again, and said, "When writing An, you have to follow this stroke order, first do this and then do this, understand?"

Yu Xi was amused by his teaching method. It was also the first time for Chu Nian to teach others, so he could only imitate how his teacher taught others.

Seeing Yu Xi nodding, he stretched out his palm and said, "I'll test whether your writing is correct."

Yu Xi choked and didn't expect him to be so serious, so she took out her finger and wrote slowly in the palm of his hand, her hair also fell down, and Chu Nian stroked it behind her ear with her hand.

The warm fingers were drawing back and forth on the palm of his hand, which made him feel a little itchy, and he suddenly realized that this action was a bit ambiguous, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

The two of them were too close, and Chu Nian's face turned red when he smelled the "girly" scent. After that, he didn't demonstrate how to write, but taught him how to read.

The sound of Lang Lang's reading came to the door, and Chen Yu couldn't help being a little relieved when he heard his son's angry voice, and seeing Yu Xi became more and more pleasing to the eye.

-

In the afternoon, when Yu Xi came out of Chu's house, he was given two eggs and cabbage by the aunt next door. He was a little surprised. Considering that the other party's living conditions were not good, he didn't intend to take her things.

"Xiaoxi, just accept it. Thanks to your idea, dried locusts are really delicious. You helped my aunt save food, but I can't do things like taking advantage of nothing," Zhang's aunt said, with eyes There were also faint flashes of tears.

While the two were talking, a rough voice came.

"Ha, fried locusts? My pigs don't even eat it, but you guys eat pig food. I laughed so hard, hahaha"

Yu Xi turned around and saw a thin man laughing, his eyes were also squinted together.

"Where is the stupid b"

Although Cheng Dazhuang didn't know what b meant, he knew it was definitely not a good word, so he was a little angry.

At this time, a scent came from the courtyard of the Chu family, and Cheng Dazhuang couldn't help swallowing.

"What's the smell, it smells so good"

Seeing this, Yu Xi said, "Do you want to eat fried locusts?"

Cheng Dazhuang shook his head hastily. Just as he was about to sarcastically, he saw Chen Yu bringing out a pot of golden "shrimp".

Chen Yu wanted to let the people in the village help to taste the fried grasshopper first, to see how popular it was, and if possible, he planned to sell it at the market in the town.

She walked out of the gate with a pot, just as the villagers who had been notified before came over, and they were all attracted by Chen Yu's description. Looking at the golden grasshopper fried in the pot, she was a little scared, and felt that it had eaten it. I didn't know how much food my family had, so I boldly took a grasshopper and tasted it.

Cheng Dazhuang nodded as he watched the villagers eating, and even licked off the grease on their fingers, and the scent that kept pouring into his nose made him want to move.

Cheng Dazhuang directly moved over to try one, but Yu Xi beat him with a wooden stick just as he stretched out his hand.

"A two penny"

Hearing the sound of chewing nearby, Cheng Dazhuang felt as if there were tens of thousands of ants crawling in his heart, so he took out two pennies to buy one to eat.

The crispy texture and the tender and smooth feeling made him unable to resist buying one, and he didn't stop until he ran out of money in the end, watching Yu Xi walk away dejectedly with mocking eyes.

When the villagers dispersed, Yu Xi walked to the river. As soon as he stood by the water, fish shoals of bees chrysalis came. Looking at the fish in front of her, she couldn't help but think of fish balls, fish tofu, and fish cakes. I think I can make a fortune out of this.

"I'm sorry everyone"

After speaking, he grabbed a few fat carp with his bare hands and put them into the basket, and grabbed two more crucian carp to go back, intending to make soup for Chu Nian to replenish his body.

Then he walked back humming a song, and he didn't forget to sing while cooking. Chu Nian also heard his beautiful singing, and couldn't help but sigh that he was so energetic, like a little sun.

Although Yu Xi was a mutated carp spirit, he would not be lenient in killing his own kind. He quickly scratched off the scales of the fish, then opened the intestines, and took out all the internal organs.

After that, I took a kitchen knife and scratched a few times on the fish to make it more delicious.

Because there are no other ingredients at home, I can only stew crucian carp dryly, but even so the deliciousness of crucian carp floats out of the kitchen.

The soup was also stewed into a milky white color, and it looked very appetizing. Yu Xi took out a fish and put it in a bowl, and brought it to the room. Seeing that Chu Nian was struggling, he couldn't help but get a little nervous and quickly put down the food. hold him up.

"Ahem, it's okay Xiaoxi, I can do it," Chu Nian forced a smile, his lips were also cracked due to dryness.

"Brother Chu, what do you want to do, I will help you"

"This...whether a man or a woman can kiss each other, I can do this kind of thing myself, sister Xi, please avoid it." Chu Nian said in a low voice, his white jade-like ears were completely red, and Yu Xi also realized that He might want to show respect, but thinking that he is now a woman to the outside world, he hastily left the room.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the room, his ears were also red.

At this moment, Chu Nian's parents also came back, their faces were full of joy.

"Thanks to you, Xiaoxi, we actually made a tael of silver today." Chen Yu was already grinning from ear to ear, and Yu Xi was very happy to hear that and wanted to know how to get to the market.

"Where is Aunt Chu's market?"

"Oh, what else is Xiaoxi called aunt? We are already a family, just call me mother," Chu's mother said.
