Qiao Xiaomai sat on a small stool, staring at Tong Sanlang’s broad back, finally regaining her senses.
Just now, she wanted to show Tong Sanlang her knife skills, which were not intentionally practiced but were far better than those of ordinary people.
However, in her pride, she cut her hand.
A situation that should have been awkward was masked by Tong Sanlang’s… well, somewhat intimate actions.
Now that the event had passed, the embarrassment began to resurface.
She touched her nose uneasily. With a master like Tong Sanlang, there was really no need to show off her knife skills.
It would only lead to embarrassment.
If she had to show off, better to show off her cooking skills.
Thinking this way, after tasting the Cold Mixed Cucumber made by Tong Sanlang, she was more convinced by this thought.
“My cooking skills are not very good, just make do with it.” Tong Sanlang said, aware of his own level.
“It’s pretty good.” Qiao Xiaomai complimented.
It was not as good as hers, but it was definitely better than the pork dish made earlier.
Upon hearing her words, a barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of Tong Sanlang’s mouth. His mood was very pleasant.
She said it was good.
That’s great.
“Um… do you think, when to try what we talked about?” Qiao Xiaomai bit into a steamed bun and looked at Tong Sanlang with her beautiful eyes.
Tong Sanlang, who was previously in a good mood, stiffened upon hearing this.
“Well, well…”
“How about tonight! After we’re done with work, you walk me home.” Qiao Xiaomai preempted him.
Tong Sanlang was silent for a moment, then nodded, “Alright.”
“Prepare the knives. At that time, we’ll both have a go; you take a cut, I take a cut. It would be better if we get an oil lamp, so that we could see clearly.”
Tong Sanlang, “…Alright.”
“Where do you suggest we go then?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“The mountains.”
“Alright.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded in agreement.
Having made the arrangements, the two of them stopped talking and focused on their meal.
At least on the surface.
As for what was inside their hearts, Qiao Xiaomai was driven by her feelings. Whenever her emotions were in turmoil, she would follow the only direction she could confirm.
As for Tong Sanlang, his heart at this point was like fireworks, bright and dazzling.
Ripples spread across the surface of his heart’s lake.
Thinking that what had just happened was enough.
But there was more contact tonight!
This was absolutely wonderful!
After a simple lunch in the kitchen, Tong Sanlang did the dishes while Qiao Xiaomai left the kitchen.
“Xiaomai, come here.” Tong Tiehu’s voice rose, “See what we can do with these.”
Qiao Xiaomai looked over and saw Tong Tiehu standing next to several tables, upon which were six slabs of pork, with a pig’s head and offal placed beside them.
She walked over to him.
Tong Tiehu pointed at the pork on the table and then to three women beside him, “Take a look, decide what to make and if there’s anything to do, they’ll help you.”
“Alright, leave it to me!” Qiao Xiaomai answered, and began to get busy.
Filling blood sausages, braising the pork head and offal, frying meatballs, etc. The weather was not too hot right now, so these items could be kept overnight.
Tomorrow Yang Ye was coming over, so she specially reserved the offal. Of course, using pork offal to serve His Highness Prince Wei would be too modest.
Thinking this, she got Tong Sanlang’s attention, who was busy with other chores, “Can you go to the stream and catch some small fish, loaches and snails? Uh… let’s go to the mountain tomorrow and see if there are any acacia flowers left.”
Yang Ye had eaten too much fine food, so she planned to cook some food with a local flavor for him tomorrow.
Hearing her words, Tong Sanlang didn’t say anything and left the courtyard with two buckets in his hands..
