Chapter 116: How Good is Ice-sweetened Snow Pear?

Shen Yu was not bored with Li Xiang's company.

Although Shen Yu has always found Li Xiang to be a boring girl, when compared to other girls, something boring and silly doesn't feel the same when you are with her.

The two wander aimlessly through the old town, often seeing small couples holding hands; Shen Yu is unlikely to hold Li Xiang's hand, both of which he carries in his trouser pockets.

"Has Shen Yu ever held a girl's hand?" Li Xiang asked him.

"How's that for holding? Haven't I held your hand?"

"No, no, no!"

Asaba Li Xiang can clearly count every time Shen Yu touches her hand, but those can almost always be classified as accidental or unavoidable touches, so how can they be considered hand-holding?

It's the same thing as being 'rich'. Who doesn't have a few dollars in their pocket, but can say they are rich?

"It's when the boy has to wrap his big hand around the girl's little hand, like they do, and then walk together, and shake and shake the two held hands."

"Why don't you just ask me if I've ever been in love?"

Shen Yu gave her a bemused look.

"So have you ever been in love?"

"What do you think?"

"There must have been many girls who confessed to Shen Yu, but you didn't say yes to any of them, did you?"

Shen Yu Silence, silence is acquiescence.

Li Xiang asked him again in a dark voice, "So will there be exceptions?"

"There will be no exceptions." Shen Yu answered her affirmatively.

Seemingly overhearing their conversation, a fortune-teller in his 50s or 60s in front of the stall called out to Shen Yu and Li Xiang.

"Young man, how about a fortune telling? Take a career test, a marriage test, I see you seem to be experiencing confusion lately."

"It's not allowed at all, I'm not confused."

Shen Yu continued walking without looking back, then noticed that something seemed to have fallen beside him, and when he looked back, it was Li Xiang who had dropped it.

Li Xiang is curiously bending over to talk to the fortune-teller.

"Master, how do you calculate this?"

"Read the birth date, read the face and read the hands."

Shen Yu then walked back to pick up Li Xiang, who did not want to leave and wanted to count.

"It sounds amazing, I've only seen horoscopes, why don't we do some math? It's only ten dollars, okay?"

Shen Yu looked at the fortune-teller, an elderly aunt who seemed very kind, and she didn't interrupt while he and Li Xiang were talking, just smiled and watched.

Li Xiang paid her ten yuan, sat down on a small stool and started to count, while Shen Yu was there to keep an eye on her. It was okay to spend ten yuan to listen to the good words, but if she made any mess, Shen Yu would have to drag her away.

"What does the girl want to measure?"

"In-laws!"

The old aunt looked at her face, squeezed her little hand to see her palm, and asked her birth date. Li Xiang didn't know what her birth date was, so she told her her birth year, month, day and time.

"You are in good health, no disasters or pains, you occupy a good destiny, looking at your eight characters and palm, your life is also considered ordinary and happy, this is your qi and luck, your qi is very good, this is the blessing you have accumulated over the past twenty years, after you get married your qi will bring your lover a plus, your family will be happy and prosperous."

"Your marriage is also related to your qi, it belongs to heavenly good fortune, now that your red luan star has moved, good fortune has arrived, if you grasp it well, your marriage will be harmonious and your family will prosper for a hundred years."

Asaba Li Xiang looked very happy to hear the fortune-teller's words and thanked the fortune-teller again and again, and she wanted to do the same for Shen Yu, who unfortunately did not.

"Shen Yu, did you hear that? The master said that my destiny has arrived!

"Can you believe that."

Shen Yu looked at her, ten dollars for a good talk was not a bad deal, a girl is always a sentimental creature.

"Of course! I've always been super lucky!"

"It's something you've traded for roadkill and intelligence, and it's something to be cherished."

"Slightly, slightly, slightly~~!"

Asaba Li Xiang spat her little tongue at him and couldn't help but steal a few glances at Shen Yu.

Good karma.

She came all the way from Japan to live with Shen Yu, and that's a good thing!

......

It was late in the evening before the group gathered again to kiln chicken for dinner at the farmhouse.

The chicken is a great dish. After being slaughtered and washed, it is stuffed with onions, garlic and mushrooms, marinated in a sauce for a few hours, wrapped in tinfoil and stuffed into a hot clay kiln for half an hour before being taken out to eat.

The owner killed three fat chickens, marinated them, wrapped them in tinfoil and showed them how to kiln them, which was a lot of fun in itself.

There were just three chickens, and Shen Yu worked in teams of two to kiln one chicken each.

Li Xiang is, of course, in the same group as Shen Yu.

Shen Yu carries a bucket with three tinfoil-wrapped chickens, Ke Liangji carries a hoe, Li Jing has a pile of firewood in her arms and the three girls carry milk tea and fruit.

"You girls go and pick up some clods of earth!"

"Is this look okay?"

"Too small, look for bigger ones, not wet ones, like this ......"

Li Xiang was in the field looking for clods, while Shen Yu was building a kiln from the clods she had retrieved.

Building a kiln is a technical task, as the clay is irregular and the kiln is pyramidal in shape, so if you are not careful, the clay will collapse and the kiln will have to be rebuilt.

Shen Yu's side was almost finished, but Ke Liangji's side was still laying the foundation, which collapsed when it was a little higher.

When the kiln was finished and it was dark, the fire was built and the girls gathered around it to warm themselves.

Asaba Li Xiang crouches on the ground and stretches out her two little hands to roast beside the fire, every now and then picking up another stick and throwing it in, bouncing a few sparks that drift along with the fire into the night sky, the warm glow of the fire reflecting on her little face and darting in her big eyes.

"Li Xiang, what did you guys play today?" Jiang Ningle asked her in a whisper.

"I went to the old town with Shen Yu, and the fortune teller said I'm getting married soon!" Li Xiang said with a smile.

"No way! Tie the knot with who?"

"Not telling you~"

"Cut."

With that, Jiang Ningle brought over two more drinks, raised his eyebrows at Shen Yu who was concentrating on the chicken not far away, and said mysteriously to Li Xiang.

"Let me give you another tip, Shen Yu, he's not very tough talking now, but people can't hide their subconscious, you can test him with these two drinks!"

Asaba Li Xiang got excited and asked in a rush, "How do you try?"

"Here's a lemon coke and a cold pear, just go up to him and ask him which one he wants and he'll definitely choose you!"

Li Xiang suddenly realized that he had to go over to Shen Yu with two drinks in his hand.

The kiln is red-hot and Shen Yu is now pulling out the coals, stuffing the tinfoil-wrapped chickens inside, smashing the clods with a hoe, and simmering them for half an hour or so before digging them out and eating them.

Li Xiang waited for him to finish and hastened to offer him a drink.

"Shen Yu, here's a lemon cola and a frozen pear, which one do you want? The iced pear is delicious ......"

After the question she was a little nervous, what if Shen Yu didn't pick her and chose Lemon Coke!

Shen Yu is so wooden that he won't think twice about the hidden meaning of these two seemingly ordinary drinks ......

No way no how ......

Shen Yu has been working for half a day and is a little thirsty at the moment.

When he looked back, Asaba Li Xiang was sipping the lemon cola with a straw in his hand, holding another glass of iced sugar sorbet for him.

You've gotten drunk and you're asking me?

Am I going to drink the lemon cola you drank.

Shen Yu had to take the iced sugar snow pear and drink it.

Asaba Li Xiang looked at him with wide unblinking eyes, sipping sip after sip of his iced sugar snow pear, and you could clearly see the knot of his throat rolling up and down ......

"Is it sweet?"

"Well ......"

"Pear or no pear?"

"Well ......"

"Does it smell good?"

Shen Yu: "......"

He immediately stopped sipping his straw and took the glass of iced sorbet and looked at it carefully, asking her with wide eyes, "Don't you tell me this is your water!"

"No, I'm not!"

Li Xiang ran away with a red face, leaving Shen Yu puzzled in the same place.
