Chapter 25
The bamboos next to the spiritual field were just cut off from the roots by Shen Er and brought back. The leaves were still on them and needed to be processed again.
Shen Zening bought two pairs of labor protection gloves from the mall. After putting them on, he handed the other pair to Ji Tingqiu.
Ji Tingqiu took it and said hesitantly: "...The weather is so hot, so I won't wear gloves."
Shen Zening fiddled with the bamboo, took out one and measured the size with a tape measure, "It's up to you, but I won't wear gloves." You might scratch your hand." As soon as he
finished speaking, he saw Ji Tingqiu put on his gloves obediently.
More than twenty chickens are not a lot. He calculated that a chicken coop of about six to seven square meters would be enough.
The chicken coop was built not far from Lingtian. After he scouted the location, he and Ji Tingqiu dug four holes just big enough to insert the bamboo.
After the hole was dug, Shen Zening picked out the four thickest bamboos, cut off the leaves on them, and cut them into a height of 1.5 meters with a saw. Together with Ji Tingqiu, he poked the bamboo into the hole and hammered it tightly with a hammer.
After the four bamboos are erected, a bamboo needs to be fastened at the bottom, middle and top of each wall.
The rope that fixed the bamboo was bought by Shen Zening from the mall. It was strong and durable. Fixing the bamboo was also a laborious job. Ji Tingqiu had been spoiled since he was a child and could only give Shen Zening some help. He had to call Shen Er over again.
The top bamboo holds the four standing bamboos together, so that the basic frame is there.
The roof is built in a herringbone shape to facilitate drainage when it rains.
Shen Zening consulted the system about the climate in Shuowang City. Even if it rains here, it doesn't rain very hard, so there's nothing to worry about.
Ji Tingqiu was sent to weave thatch. A piece of bamboo is cut in the middle, and thatch of similar length is braided and stuffed side by side.
This step is simple and requires no effort. Shen Zening only told Ji Tingqiu once and he understood.
The usually noble young master was squatting on the ground knitting thatch, and Shen Zening felt like he was being bullied.
However, Shen Zening then thought about it and thought that it was just a toss. Where did it go? She asked Shen Er to get a bottle of water for Ji Tingqiu and then ignored him.
Shen Zening was worried that the thatch alone was not waterproof enough, so he added a layer of tarpaulin underneath.
They were busy all afternoon, and by about five o'clock in the afternoon, they had just finished the roof.
The progress is not slow. If I started in the morning, I should have finished it long ago.
The sun set around seven o'clock, and there were still two hours left. Shen Zening took the time to split the remaining bamboo in half with Shen Er. This step alone took almost an hour.
The chicken coop does not need to be made too finely, and the next step is to fix the bamboo pieces.
In order to save time, Shen Zening quickly browsed the task list, collected all the completed teahouse daily tasks, and took the points to the mall to buy a nail gun.
He asked Shen Er and Ji Tingqiu to hold the bamboo pieces while he quickly nailed them with a nail gun, thus finishing the three walls.
There was one wall left that needed to be made into a door. After Shen Zening and Shen Er split the bamboo into several pieces, they put them together, and then placed three bamboo pieces in a Z-shape on top of the bamboo pieces and nailed them in place.
A hinge was installed between the door panel and the door frame on the bamboo wall. By the time everything was done, it was completely dark.
Ji Tingqiu was covered in sweat and felt extremely uncomfortable. After saying something to Shen Zening, he ran back to his flying boat to change clothes.
"Boss! I'm quick! I'll be here in a minute!" Ji Tingqiu shouted to Shen Zening as he ran towards the door.
Shen Zening waved his hand: "There's no rush, just take your time."
In fact, there should be a platform for the chickens in the chicken coop, but it was dark and it was inconvenient to see clearly, and it was inconvenient to use a flashlight, so we had to leave We won’t talk about it until tomorrow.
Shen Zening asked Shen Er to put the chickens in the cage into the chicken coop, then went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes.
In the room, the comic was thrown to the ground by Bai Yang. The little fox turned its back to Shen Zening, and slapped the sofa with its big fluffy tail.
When Shen Zening saw Bai Yang like this, he knew that he was angry. He closed the door gently and walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" When Bai Yang heard his voice, his tail flapped faster, almost shaking. Out of the afterimage.
Confused, he washed his hands first and threw his sweaty top into the mini washing machine before going to hug Bai Yang: "Don't be angry, what happened?"
Shen Zening's hand just touched Bai Yang. , he pushed hard.
...You have the nerve to ask! What are you showing me?
The little furball on the sofa was ashamed and angry, and the tips of his snow-white ears were dyed pink. He angrily slapped Shen Zening's arm with another claw.
Shen Zening was confused by Bai Yang's operation. Seeing that he wouldn't let her touch it, she had to clear away the plates on the coffee table and the comics on the floor.
...wait, comics?
Shen Zening picked up the comics on the ground and flipped through them.
Hmm... The painting is very good, and the plot is also very interesting. The leader of the demon sect and the righteous young hero met and got to know each other. They met each other late, and they worked together to uncover the conspiracy in the world. They had a big quarrel because of a misunderstanding. When they met again, ...
Shen Zening turned to the next page.
The leader of the Demon Cult chased his friend for thousands of miles and stalked him into the room of the Righteous Young Hero, where they then had a fight.
Then, the leader of the Demon Cult picked up the righteous young hero and threw him onto the bed.
Wait a moment.
Shen Zening felt that something was wrong with this cartoon.
Why did the fight end up on the bed?
He turned another page.
I saw the leader of the Demon Cult tearing open the clothes of the young hero. The young hero had tears in his eyes and his cheeks were slightly red. The leader of the Demon Cult pinched his waist and pinned him down on the bed.
Then, something indescribable and beyond trial happened.
No mosaic yet.
Shen Zening: "……………………"
He closed the comic with a "swish" and threw it into the trash can. He rushed to the toilet and washed his face to calm down.
...I can’t calm down at all!
Why, how could it be this kind of comic!
Shen Zening knew that there was a cartoon about two men, but he didn't expect that he would buy it at random, and it was... still erotic!
Shen Zening thought something was wrong and took out the comic from the trash can.
Damn it—
the cover clearly looks serious!
What went wrong!
He looked at the cover carefully and found a line of small words in the lower right corner.
Fan, R18.
Shen Zening: "..."
The scene was a little awkward for a while. Shen Zening didn't know how to face Bai Yang.
No wonder he is angry...
This comic must have had a great impact on Bai Yang, who has lost his memory and is still a blank sheet of paper...
The impact is indeed great.
Bai Yang became even more angry when he saw that Shen Zening didn't speak or look at him for a long time after putting down the comic.
He stopped moaning this time and let out a loud "Ouch". When he saw Shen Zening looking at him, he switched between "Ouch" and "Ouch" modes, scolding this hateful man. Shower head.
Although Shen Zening didn't understand what Bai Yang was saying, thinking about it, he knew he was scolding himself. He walked over and knelt down in front of him, held his paw and shook it flatteringly.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Shen Zening admitted her mistake honestly without blaming the blame, with a sincere attitude, "I didn't pay attention to the... um... attributes of this comic. I should have read the introduction carefully before buying it."
The little fox withdrew his paw. , pressed it to Shen Zening's lips. She didn't want to hear his quibbles and wanted him to shut up, but Shen Zening happened to be planning to say a few more words. As soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Yang's flesh pad unexpectedly touched his tongue. .
...!
The soft tip of his tongue touched the cool flesh pad, and his white hair was about to explode, and he took a few steps back.
H-How can you... use your tongue...!
... Shameless! ! !
Bai Yang glared at Shen Zening angrily, jumped off the sofa with a flick of his tail, and got into the bathroom.
Shen Zening: "..."
It's over...
no one knows how angry the little fox is better than him. Bai Yang, who has lost his memory, is a squeamish guy. He is pampered by him and gets angry whenever he gets angry. Coaxed for a while.
However, this time's incident was different from the previous minor incidents. Shen Zening was really not sure how long Bai Yang would be angry.
As soon as he walked into the bathroom, he saw Bai Yang sitting on the sink. Seeing him come in, he picked up the tissue paper on the sink with his two front paws and threw it towards him.
The distance the little fox could throw was limited, so the paper was thrown in a small arc in mid-air and landed on the edge of the sink.
Seeing that Shen Zening was not hit, Bai Yang looked around the bathroom angrily, looking for the next prop.
Toothbrush...it's hard to throw away...
hand sanitizer...forget it, it's too heavy.
The razor... didn't work either...
Bai Yang had no choice but to jump down, pick up the tissue in his mouth, then jump on the sink, arrange the tissue in place, and then swat it with his tail.
With a soft "pop" sound, the paper successfully hit Shen Zening's thigh.
Shen Zening: "..."
He picked up the paper and handed it to the little fox with explosive fur, coaxing him softly: "Have you calmed down? Do you want to smash it again?"
Then, Shen Zening was gently pulled out of paper. After hitting it twenty or thirty times, until Bai Yang's tail was tired and couldn't swing it anymore, the shy and angry little fox calmed down.
Shen Zening carefully reached out and pinched Bai Yang's paw: "My fault, it won't happen next time."
Bai Yang didn't pull out his paw this time, and gave a reserved "squeak".
Hum, seeing as you are not very smart, I will forgive you for now.
Bai Yang thought, turned around, turned his back to Shen Zening, and motioned for him to rub the tip of his tail.
Shen Zening laughed: "I was the one who hit you, why are you making your tail uncomfortable?"
When Bai Yang heard this, he felt that Shen Zening was laughing at him. His snow-white ears stood up, and when he wanted to give him a paw again, He hugged her.
Shen Zening smoothed the little fox's messy hair and said softly, "You little stupid fox, you can't even hit anyone."
Bai Yang: "...?"
He suddenly climbed onto Shen Zening's shoulders, cursing. He screamed "Ooooooooo" and bit Shen Zening's neck.
This time Bai Yang really used his strength and left two sharp teeth marks.
After Bai Yang finished biting, he bared his teeth at Shen Zening in a feigned manner.
...Who are you calling a stupid fox?
From Shen Zening's point of view, he just felt that the angry little fox was cuter than usual. He tilted his head and stretched the other side of his neck in front of Bai Yang: "Are you angry again? Do you want to bite a symmetrical one?"
Bai Yang: " ..."
You, you, you...are too much!
Heat surged from his heart. Bai Yang didn't know whether it was shame or anger. He just felt that the whole fox was about to smoke.
He decided to ignore Shen Zening for the time being, rolled himself into a ball, and did not raise his head no matter how Shen Zening called him.
Chapter 26
When Ji Tingqiu changed clothes and hurried back to the teahouse, Shen Zening and Bai Yang had not yet come out of the room.
Shen Yi was receiving guests in the lobby. He said hello and went straight to the backyard.
In the yard, the door to the newly built room was open, and Shen Er was moving tables and chairs inside.
After Shen Zening came back from building the chicken coop, he connected electricity to the new room and planned to use the room as a restaurant temporarily.
The room is empty, with just a large table, a few chairs and a cupboard brought from the back kitchen. No other furniture has been added yet.
"Eh? Why are you alone? Senior hasn't come yet?" Ji Tingqiu pulled the door frame and looked around the room.
Shen Er remained silent, too lazy to speak, and just nodded.
"Then let me call him!"
Ji Tingqiu strolled to Shen Zening's cabin and knocked on the door: "Boss? Are you okay?" After a while
, the door lock clicked softly. , a crack was opened, but Shen Zening did not come out immediately.
Ji Tingqiu stood at the door waiting for him. Through the crack in the door, Shen Zening's voice came out intermittently.
"Don't be angry... for a while... do you want to eat... egg tarts...?"
"... puffs... scones..."
"Hit... more...?"
From time to time, the little fox's "嘘嘘嘘" and " "Ouch" sound.
Ji Tingqiu swore that he didn't eavesdrop on purpose! Anyone standing at the door can hear these words.
He lowered his head and stared at the tips of his shoes, listening to the senior he admired coaxing people quietly, ah no, fox, I always feel a little...
um...weird?
Huh...it still feels a little sticky...
Ji Tingqiu scratched his head, not knowing how to describe it.
There were footsteps inside the door, and Shen Zening's voice gradually became louder. Ji Tingqiu first saw a slender white hand with clear joints pushing open the door, and then a strong and strong arm with cold white skin.
A white afterimage flashed in front of Ji Tingqiu's eyes, and the little fox ran out of the room with a "swish", like a rolling snowball, and rushed into the restaurant, almost tripping Shen Er who was about to leave.
Shen Zening was wearing loose short-sleeved home clothes and subconsciously wanted to reach out to catch the escaping little fox. The veins on his forearms popped out when he exerted force.
Seeing that the little fox was not stopped, Shen Zening had no choice but to follow him quickly: "Your legs are just right, run slower -"
One person and one fox disappeared in an instant, leaving Ji Tingqiu standing blankly at the door of the hut.
A gust of wind blew by and rolled up the hem of his clothes. Ji Tingqiu glanced at the direction Shen Zening left, and helped him close the door in a daze: "Senior, no, boss, please wait for me -"
Inside the restaurant.
Bai Yang first got on the chair, then jumped on the table, and then used the height of the table to jump to the top of the cabinet.
The cabinet was not high, and Shen Zening could reach out and lift the little fox down, but he didn't want to do that. Bai Yang was already angry enough. If he rashly went to lift the person down, what would he do if he got so angry?
"It's too high up there and it's not safe," Shen Zening lowered his voice and said gently, "Can you come down? If you don't want to see me, I'll go cook and make you desserts first."
The little fox gurgled in his throat. , covering his ears with his paws, and turned his head to avoid paying attention to him.
Shen Zening waited for a long time and saw Bai Yang walking around on the top of the cabinet, changing positions and covering his ears from time to time. If he was willing to come down, he had to tell him to be careful and went to the kitchen.
The angry little fox is really pampered and cute.
Shen Zening walked to the kitchen, thinking about Bai Yang as he walked, and the corners of his lips could not help but raise slightly.
Let’s make some delicious food to apologize to him later.
It was now dinner time, and he just started cooking. It would probably take a while, so he might as well cook more and make it a combination of dinner and midnight snack.
Ji Tingqiu helped a lot today. Not only did he have to cook delicious food for Bai Yang, but he also had to make a sumptuous dinner.
Shen Zening flipped through the menu.
What should I do...
Ah, that's right!
He remembered that Bai Yang wanted to eat cold seafood at noon, so he quickly took out the chilled seafood in the space, and then fished out all the shrimps from the large temporary shrimp pot.
He put the sliced ginger and knotted chives in the pot. After the water boiled, he poured in the cooking wine. He put the prawns in, covered them and cooked until they changed color, then took them out, and then took out the ice cubes he bought earlier. Put it into a large bowl, add cold water, and then soak the cooked prawns in the ice water for a while.
While waiting for the shrimp to cool down, Shen Zening started to process other seafood.
Remove the shells and internal organs of abalone and clean them with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Remove the internal organs of octopus.
After leaving it for an afternoon, the clams and razor clams were almost all sandy. Shen Zening took them out and blanched them in a pot.
After the seafood and river freshness were blanched and cooked, and the prawns were cooled, he poured all the ingredients into a large soup pot and prepared to make the sauce.
Shen Zening chopped the garlic into minced garlic, chopped coriander, onions and scallions. He thought for a while, washed some celery and chopped it together, cut the millet into spicy rings and put them in a bowl.
Slice the lime into thin slices, squeeze in the lemon juice, and pour an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and fish sauce into a bowl.
The total amount of seafood was relatively large, so Shen Zening also added some water to it, stirred it evenly, and then set it aside to let it soak in the flavor.
It would be nice if there was a refrigerator.
Shen Zening sighed. The cold seafood should be put in the refrigerator for a while, but his level was not high enough, so he had to take a basin, pour all the ice cubes left in the space into it, and then put the ice cubes in the bowl with the seafood. , use this method to cool down.
The first cold seafood dish is finished.
After counting the number of people, Shen Zening planned to make another hot dish and a vegetarian dish.
For vegetarian dishes, just make loofah and egg soup, and for hot dishes... make beer duck?
He rummaged through the duck legs he bought, took out two kilograms, washed them and cut them into small pieces, and used kitchen paper to absorb the blood. These duck legs have a lot of fat. After heating the pan, he only pours a small amount of oil, adds ginger slices, garlic slices, and some aniseed ingredients such as star anise, cinnamon bay leaves and dried chili peppers and stir-fries.
After stir-frying until the aroma comes out, Shen Zening immediately pours in the duck leg pieces, stir-fry over high heat until it changes color, then lower the heat to low, stir-fry the duck fat and add the green onions.
The bean paste was also put in at this time. For color, he also poured some dark soy sauce, then added light soy sauce and a small amount of sugar for seasoning.
After stir-frying for a while, Shen Zening took the time to go to the mall to buy beer, opened it, and poured it into the pot until the duck meat was about one centimeter submerged.
Next, just cover the pot and continue to simmer on low heat for more than 20 minutes.
One stove is simmering duck meat, and another stove is cooking luffa and egg soup.
Compared with the other two dishes, the loofah and egg soup was simply too easy. He peeled the loofah, cut it into pieces diagonally, put it into a pot and stir-fried it for a while, then added water to boil.
Just beat the eggs in the soup twice. After Shen Zening quickly beat them, he turned down the heat and poured the egg liquid directly into it. After it was slightly set, he gently pushed it open with a spatula, added salt to taste, and cooked it. When taking it out of the pot, he added two more drops of sesame oil.
The dishes are almost there, but the little fox’s dessert is still missing.
This time Shen Zening didn't dare to trick Bai Yang into telling him to eat first, and honestly made the dessert first.
The beer duck had to be simmered for ten minutes, so Shen Zening called Shen Er and asked him to send some snacks to Bai Yang and Ji Tingqiu to fill their bellies.
He went to the mall and bought the oven that he had been looking forward to for a long time. He found a table away from the stove and placed it. He opened it and checked it around. When there was no problem, he plugged it in and started preheating.
Shen Zening planned to make several different flavors of egg tarts for Bai Yang.
It was a bit troublesome to make his own egg tart crust. He didn't have a mold and had limited time, so he first bought the finished egg tart crust from the mall.
The egg tart liquid was made quickly. Shen Zening beat some eggs, filtered out the egg whites, added milk, whipped cream and icing sugar and stirred evenly. In order to have a more delicate taste, he sieved it twice with a sieve.
He prepared twelve egg tart shells, four whole-egg ordinary egg tarts and poured the egg tart liquid directly into them. The eight different flavors were first put raisins, mango dices, strawberry dices and Oreo pieces on the bottom, and then poured the egg tart liquid into them.
After the oven was preheated, Shen Zening placed the egg tarts on the middle shelf of the oven and adjusted the temperature to 200 degrees for twenty minutes.
He couldn't wait in the kitchen during this period. He quickly made a cup of white peach green tea, added some aloe vera and ice cubes, and went to the restaurant to find Bai Yang.
After Shen Zening left, Bai Yang's arrogance suddenly died down.
He was lying on the top of the cabinet, wagging his tail in boredom.
Damn humans, just leave at any time...!
After waiting for about ten minutes, he couldn't wait any longer. He stood up and looked under the cabinet carefully.
The height of the cabinet is about 1.8 meters, which is a bit high for the little fox who has returned to its juvenile stage. It is easy to jump up, but it is difficult to jump down.
After all, foxes are not as soft and good at jumping as cats. For Bai Yang, being able to jump to the top of the cabinet is already a big deal, and he can only jump up with all his strength when he is angry.
Bai Yang hesitantly stepped on the top of the cabinet with his two front paws. He looked at the table below and hesitated for a long time before retracting his little paws.
So high...
He was a little scared and shrank back behind the top of the cabinet.
From Bai Yang's perspective, looking out from the open door, he could just see the kitchen. He looked in the direction of the kitchen and let out a soft "嘘", and couldn't help but blame Shen Zening in his heart.
...Why haven't you come back yet?
He stared at it for a long time, until his eyes were sore. Just as he lowered his head and blinked, he heard Shen Zening's slightly smiling voice coming from the side of the cabinet.
"Is my little fox planning to make a nest on the cabinet?"
Bai Yang sat up suddenly, the tip of his soft tail trembling.
...Wha, what's yours? That's nonsense!
The tips of the snow-white furry ears were dyed with a touch of light pink. He snorted softly and stuck out his two front paws from the top of the cabinet.
...I'm not a bird, what kind of nest do you want? You annoying human being, why don't you hurry up... hurry up and hug me down!
Shen Zening saw Bai Yang's hesitation and fear, stretched out his hand, and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, jump down, I will catch you."
Bai Yang looked at Shen Zening for two seconds, closed his eyes, and jerked forward. He jumped, and in the next second, he fell into the man's warm embrace.
The hot body temperature touched Bai Yang's flesh pad through the thin clothes, and he suddenly felt a little aggrieved. The tip of his wet nose rubbed against Shen Zening's chest muscles and was buried in his arms.
Shen Zening gently smoothed the shaggy fur on the little fox's back, "Are you hungry? I made the cold seafood you wanted to eat, and also made the dessert I promised you before. They are egg tarts with five different flavors, including original flavor. Yes, mango flavor, strawberry flavor, grape flavor and Oreo flavor."
Bai Yang's ears perked up little by little, and he was already greedy before Shen Zening finished speaking.
...it sounds delicious!
The little fox slowly poked his head out, raised his face toward the dining table, and let out a coquettish "squeak".
Then why don't you hug me over quickly...!
