"Can this sweet potato be eaten?"
The young girl licked her lips, her appetite aroused.
"Weren't you just suspecting that it can't be eaten?" Cheng Chuyu teased.”
"Who knew that it would be so unremarkable and smell so good when roasted…"
The young girl muttered softly. Then, with a red face, she pouted and argued,"Besides, I only suspected it, and I didn't say it couldn't be eaten.”
Cheng Chuyu smiled but didn't say anything.
The young girl smelled the increasingly rich fragrance, and her stomach became even hungrier. She said anxiously,"Is it cooked yet?"
"I'm so hungry…"
The last sentence was almost inaudible.
Cheng Chuyu smiled and said," We still have to wait a while. Right now, only the skin below is a little cooked. The inside is not yet ripe."”
"It's not cooked yet…"
The young girl pouted, disappointment written all over her face.
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon." Cheng Chuyu comforted her.”
The girl could only wait patiently. In order to make herself less hungry, she turned her attention to the roasted corn.
The corn was wrapped in several layers of lemma, and the corn was full of water, so it ripened much slower than sweet potatoes.
......
......
At the same time, the northern city regions were in chaos.
The four imperial guards searched everywhere, causing the people to panic.
Fortunately, there was no riot. Although the commoners did not know what had happened, they cooperated with the search.
However, even after searching the entire northern city region, they still couldn't find any trace of Princess Chang Le.
Most importantly, no one could know that Princess Chang Le had gone missing during this search. Otherwise, if word got out and someone with ill intentions found out, Princess Chang Le would be in a very dangerous situation.
It was precisely because of this that there was no sign of anything in this search.
However, after this search, Princess Chang Le was not found. Instead, she found a few spies from the enemy country who had a guilty conscience. This was a pleasant surprise…
The Imperial Palace, the royal study.
"Trash! They were all good-for-nothings! What's the use of me raising trash like you! It had been so long, and he couldn't even find a single person!”
Li Shi Min was furious, he pointed at the four generals and cursed.
A general said," Your Majesty, please calm down. We have indeed searched the entire northern city region, but we still haven't found any traces of Princess Chang Le. I think that Princess Chang Le might not be in the northern city region anymore, or…"
At this point, he did not dare to continue.
A cold light flashed in Li Shi Min's eyes as he said coldly,"Or what? Speak!"
The general could only continue,"Or…" She's already been kidnapped."
After saying that, there was a dead silence.
Everyone in the royal study could feel Li Shiming's suppressed anger.
A moment later.
Li Shi Min's eyes were about to spit fire as he roared angrily,"Find it for me! If he couldn't find it in the northern city region, he would search the entire Chang 'an City! If he couldn't find four Imperial Army troops, he would send four more! I don't believe that a living person can disappear into thin air!”
Li Shimin had ordered the blockade of Chang 'an Fortress. Even if Li Lizhi was kidnapped, she would not be able to escape.
"Yes, sir!"
......
......
At the moment when Chang 'an City was about to be stirred up.
Nancheng District, Cheng Chuyu's small courtyard.
The girl looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground and sniffed the increasingly rich fragrance. She said aggrievedly,"Still not done?"
Cheng Chuyu flipped over the sweet potatoes on the ground and pressed them with his fingers. The skin was dry and the inside was soft. It should be cooked.
"Alright, you can eat now. Be careful..."
Before he could say the word hot.
Aiya!
The girl who was as hungry as a rabbit quickly freed one hand and reached out for the sweet potato that was still very hot. Naturally, she was scalded.
She threw away the sweet potato, and her delicate hands turned red.
The pain made the girl's bean-sized tears fall.
Cheng Chuyu felt helpless. He could only put the half-cooked corn aside and grab the girl's hand to take a look.
"You... Why?"
The girl was shocked and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back. However, when she touched the wound, she felt a burning pain again.
Cheng Chuyu frowned and said in a rare tone,"Don't move. Let me take a look at your wound."
The young girl was stunned by his fierce words.
Ever since she was young, no one had ever been fierce to her. Logically speaking, she should have felt wronged.
However, she did not feel that way. Instead, she felt warm in her heart.
Looking at the young man's serious and serious side profile, she felt inexplicably at ease.
For a moment, she actually forgot that men and women should not touch each other.
After the girl calmed down, Cheng Chuyu carefully checked the wound. It was red and swollen, but it was not scalded. The problem was not too big.
"Wait here, I'll go grind some herbs. Don't touch the wound.”
Cheng Chuyu stood up and looked around the courtyard. Other than the vegetable garden that had no weeds, he had not taken care of the other places. There were a lot of weeds growing.
And among these weeds, there happened to be herbs suitable for applying burns.
After finding the herbs, Cheng Chuyu mashed them with a wooden stick and applied the herbs to the girl's wound. Then, she tore a piece of cloth from her thin shirt and wrapped the herbs and the wound.
After applying the herbal medicine, the girl felt a chill on her wound, and the burning pain from the burn was greatly reduced.
The young girl blinked her big eyes and looked at the young man who was bandaging him. She asked,"You know pharmacology?"
"A little. I learned it from a quack doctor.”
Cheng Chuyu naturally wouldn't say that this was the Medical Proficiency rewarded by the system. She just found an excuse to cover it up.
Before long, the wound was completely bandaged.
The young girl blushed and said in a low voice,"Thank you.”
Cheng Chuyu didn't care at all." It's alright. Be more careful in the future. Don't be careless again."”
The girl nodded shyly.
Cheng Chuyu washed her hands, picked up a sweet potato, and handed it to the girl."Put down the corn first and eat a sweet potato. It's not hot anymore. You can eat it after peeling the skin.”
The young girl remembered that she was still hungry. She took the sweet potato and wanted to peel it, but her other hand was already wrapped like a big pig's knuckle. She could not help her at all. She was instantly dumbfounded.
Cheng Chuyu smiled. He had forgotten about this.
He took the sweet potato from the girl's hand, peeled it, and handed it back to the girl.
The young girl thanked him again, and then she couldn't wait to taste it.
It was sweet, soft, and very delicious.
Perhaps it was her first time tasting it, or perhaps she was tired of eating delicacies, or perhaps she was too hungry, the girl only felt that the taste of this sweet potato was a hundred times more delicious than all the delicacies she had eaten.
The young girl's eyes shone brightly, and her small face was filled with enjoyment.
"I really didn't expect that this inconspicuous thing that came out of the mud would have such a soft and sticky texture. It also tastes very sweet.”
As he praised and ate, the sweet potato was soon gone.
After eating, the young girl was still a little unsatisfied. She pursed her lips and stared at another sweet potato.
However, she was too embarrassed to ask for it…
After all, this was grown by the young man. Not only did she not help, but she even caused trouble for the young man. She was really embarrassed to ask for food.
Cheng Chuyu saw the girl's expression and smiled.""The old people told me that we must not be polite when we eat. Otherwise, we will only starve ourselves.”
With that, he peeled a sweet potato and handed it to the girl.
Since she had already said that, the girl had nothing to worry about. She took the sweet potato and ate it.
After destroying a sweet potato in a few seconds, he completely threw his reservations to the back of his mind and looked like a little hamster.
After eating, there was no longer any embarrassment on the girl's small face. She extended her small hand towards the young man without hesitation. Her meaning was self-evident.
Cheng Chuyu smiled and peeled another sweet potato for the girl.
Of course, he didn't just sit there and do nothing. When he planted these things back then, it was for the sake of eating. Now that they had matured, he naturally had to reward himself.
After eating one, he did not know if it was an illusion, but this sweet potato was unexpectedly much sweeter than those in his previous life. He did not know if it was because it was green and harmless, or because it was produced by the system.
However, he couldn't be bothered with that. As long as it was delicious, it was fine.
In less than ten minutes, Cheng Chuyu and the girl had finished all seven roasted sweet potatoes.
Cheng Chuyu only ate two while the girl ate five.
And looking at the young girl's appearance, she was clearly only half full.
"Did I just save a glutton to snatch food from me?" Cheng Chuyu sighed.”
The young girl's face turned red, like the sunset in the sky, gorgeous and moving.
"You were the one who said that you can't be polite when eating!”
"I was just saying, and you believed me?”
"Not only did I believe it! I even ate it! You're a man, and you still have the cheek to argue with a girl when she's just eating something from you.”
"That's called a little?"
"I'm not full yet. If it's not a little, what is it?”
"I was speechless. I lost.”
......
As the saying goes, a good man doesn't fight with a woman. Not long after, Cheng Chuyu was defeated by the girl's strong theory.
The two of them did not realize that their relationship had become much closer because of this sweet potato meal and this bickering.。
