Chapter 1420: Chapter 555: Who Says Chinese Cuisine Doesn’t Have Low-Temperature Slow-Cooked Dishes? Salt Water Duck Objects!

"I’m exhausted!"

In the morning, Shen Jiayue and Lin Xu got up and walked down the mountain path of Dragon Head Peak.

Last night, they ate a bunch of barbecue, and instead of driving, they took a flashlight and walked up the mountain road to where they were staying.

It was mostly gentle slopes, and since they ate quite a bit, they didn’t feel very tired.

But going down the mountain in the morning, it was all steps, and a lot of shady places still had snow that hadn’t melted, making Shen Jiayue repeatedly complain.

While resting at the observation deck halfway up the mountain, Lin Xu took off his gloves and warmed his little darling’s hands.

"After eating so much, you indeed need some exercise."

Shen Jiayue pouted helplessly:

"I didn’t bring my sports bra when I came, so I couldn’t run, next time I definitely won’t be lazy."

This lady, due to her well-developed figure, needs to wear a sports bra for running and other exercises, but she didn’t bring one, so she couldn’t run around the reservoir.

If she could run, doing ten kilometers every morning would be much better than relying on mountain climbing to burn fat.

Lin Xu said:

"Then later when we go to the city to buy groceries, why not buy a set to make do for now?"

"Okay... but when I run, you have to run too, hmph, don’t think you can trick me into exercising alone."

Lin Xu kissed the cheek of this girl, as tender as cream:

"Okay, I’ll run as far as you run."

Although he received a body enhancement reward a few months ago, and can redeem it once a year, the body still needs exercise, and you can’t rely on the system for everything.

Besides, running together with his cute and adorable baby, just thinking about it makes him happy.

After resting for a while, they continued down the mountain.

The closer they got to the foot of the mountain, the more snow there was on the steps.

Some places even required testing step by step, ensuring it was safe before stepping.

Finally, they reached the foot of the mountain, feeling even more tired than going up last night.

However, after walking the difficult snow-covered steps, suddenly reaching flat ground brought an indescribable joy, no snow to test, just straightforward walking—how nice.

At the restaurant, Chen Meijuan had already prepared breakfast.

Wild vegetable buns, millet pumpkin porridge, scallion oil pancakes, paired with some side dishes.

Simple, yet full of rustic charm.

While serving the meal, Chen Meijuan muttered:

"After the Spring Festival, the stored pumpkins will start going bad, better eat them quickly; same with sweet potatoes, napa cabbage, and white radishes—they all need to be consumed quickly."

After the Spring Festival, as the weather warms, stored winter ingredients become less durable.

Sweet potatoes and pumpkins can rot directly, napa cabbage might grow small black bugs, and white radishes become pithy.

When spring fully arrives, it’s a time of scarcity, the hardest time of the past year when many people survived on wild vegetables and tree bark.

Even now, though materials are abundant, those who lived through that period still have the habit of cherishing food.

Like Chen Meijuan, worrying from the early morning about the stored sweet potatoes and pumpkins—eating them is not a pity, but letting them spoil would make her feel distressed for several days.

Lin Xu said:

"Pumpkins and sweet potatoes can be cooked into syrup; we have elderly at home who can mix the syrup with water for good health. As for napa cabbage, it can be pickled into kimchi... and for white radishes, we can make different dishes."

Aunt Qi Xiangzhi, taking a bite of scallion oil pancake, said:

"Radishes can only be made into a few dishes: buns, stir-fried, or soup... what else can you do with them?"

Lin Xu drank a sip of millet pumpkin porridge:

"You can cut them into strips, soak in water, dry them into Dried Radish, or make them into Radish Cake..."

Before he could finish, Shen Jiayue said:

"Radish Cake is delicious, pan-fried to a golden crisp, crispy and savory; Dried Radish is tasty too, stewed with meat, crunchy and satisfying."

Early in the morning, having eaten nothing and coming down from the mountain, Shen Jiayue’s interest was instantly piqued by Lin Xu talking about food.

Just then, Chen Shaokang walked in dejectedly from outside.

Behind him was the murmuring second aunt.

Shen Jiayue immediately asked:

"What’s up? Not fully awake?"

The second aunt replied speechlessly:

"It’s not about not being awake, he did something wrong. Last night in the middle of the night, he somehow got the wrong idea and posted a bunch of food in the class group, the class teacher kicked him out, then pulled him back in this morning and called me, saying as his parent I don’t care about the kid and let him play on the phone so late."

Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue exchanged a glance.

Seems like he tempted the class teacher instead, right?

Didn’t tempt his classmates, but left the class teacher craving terribly.

To be honest, anyone seeing Shen Jiayue’s tempting video in the middle of the night would go crazy, after all, the camera work is professional level.

Shen Jiayue laughed and said:

"Come eat, Shaokang, don’t be down, after you graduate from high school, this thing will become a story you can boast about for life."

Tempting the class teacher in the group, causing them to lose control, is always worth bragging about, no matter when.

Chen Shaokang sat down, picked up a wild vegetable bun with chopsticks, dipped it in melon sauce, and began eating with a look of turning sorrow into appetite.

But as soon as the second aunt left, he cheerfully said:

"I’m not upset at all, just pretending, otherwise my mom would nag all day... after getting kicked out last night, I made a group without teachers. All my classmates are there, everyone was crying with craving over the videos I posted."
