Famous Doctor Noble Girl 078, Accumulated Food (Vote for me, sisters!)
A serene farmhouse courtyard, under a corner tree stood a table and chairs, on the table several dishes were being devoured by a man in majestic purple attire, who was eating with gusto while exclaiming how delicious it was.
In the corner under the eaves, a tall and majestic tiger stared motionlessly at Su Lianwei with its eyes, while the latter glanced at it thoughtfully, then withdrew her gaze with a hint of apology.
In the dark silence, Da Hu's heart sank heavily, was this her second refusal!?
From a man's point of view, Ye Ci came here with a very clear purpose, that is Su Lian Yi, then would she also have a crush on Ye Ci?
This man was dressed in luxurious clothes, had a handsome face and elegant manners. At first glance, he didn't seem like an ordinary person. If Su Lianhui really liked him, it would also be... understandable.
Thinking of this, Da Hu felt a dull pain in his chest and could no longer bear to watch all of this. He turned around and entered the house, returning to his room.
At the moment when Da Hu's figure disappeared, Ye Ci, who was enjoying her food, flashed a hint of satisfaction in the corner of her eyes.
These dishes are indeed good, but not as great as he made them out to be. No matter how skilled a woman is, she can't compare to the master chef of a large restaurant using the most common and cheapest ingredients. He's just being intentionally exaggerated to please the beauty, but in his heart, it's clear as a mirror.
That ugly-looking man had been within his surveillance range, and he could tell that he liked Su Lianwei, but on the contrary, Su Lianwei's gaze was somewhat cold and detached, not at all like the eyes of a woman infatuated with love. So, he confirmed his suspicions in his heart.
Elegantly picking up dishes with chopsticks, her smile was even more enchanting, those peach blossom eyes were charming and flirtatious as she gazed at Su Liangwei.
Ripples don't have the mind to notice the words of leaves, immersed in their own thoughts.
He ate a soft nail, but didn't mind, just shrugged his shoulders. It was because of Su Lian's uniqueness that he was attracted to her, if she were easily attracted to him, then this time would be in vain for him. Interesting, this woman, he must have her.
Ye Cai ate a lot, he wanted to finish all the dishes in one go, but found that he didn't have such a big appetite. Under the table, he stepped on Ye Huan's foot heavily and hinted with his eyes.
Ye Huan had been following Ye Ci since he was a child, so he naturally knew what his master meant. He looked unhappy and reluctantly started eating. Actually... he wasn't hungry either, having eaten dinner at night.
Finally, all the dishes were eaten clean, and Lianyi was a little surprised. How long had these two masters and servants not eaten?
Ye Huan helped Su Lianyi put away the bowls and chopsticks. However, Lianyi suddenly looked worried. "Gu, where is your carriage?"
Ye Huan muttered in a low voice, "Carriage? Of course, the young master had it sent back." The voice was very small and Lian Yi didn't hear it.
He fanned himself with a leaf, his face calm and unruffled, "That's right, we arrived in a hurry, so we hired a horse carriage at the station. You know how it is with station carriages, once you've paid the fare, they return to the station."
Lianyi nodded, so that's how it is. It seems that Ye Ci is indeed a good friend and truly cares about the Su Family Winery.
Ye Huan rolled her eyes inwardly - Young Master, you'd better not try to deceive Miss Su about that carriage of yours. That carriage is luxurious, even if it were at a relay station, who could afford to rent it?
Ripples smiled slightly, "It's okay, if you don't mind, I have a donkey cart here that I usually use to get around, I can take you back to the county town."
Ye Ciyu was shocked and hurriedly refused, "No need, no need, it's already late at night, this one trip, the whole night won't be able to sleep, besides I don't have any urgent matters, no need to rush back, it's not often that I come to the countryside, it's good to experience it a bit, hehe, so may I, stay overnight at Lianyi's place?"
Ye Huan lowered her head and refused to look at the master of the house.
Lianyi thought for a moment and indeed it was the case, if she rushed to the county town now, it would take more than two hours, and back and forth would be almost three hours, six hours.
She can stay up all night, but Ye Ci really didn't need to.
But...
Lianyi looked at her own clean and tidy little house again, regretting why she didn't add a few more rooms back then. With only two rooms, she and Datou each occupied one room, where would their guests sleep if they stayed overnight?
"My home is humble, if you don't mind, can we squeeze into one room?" asked Lianyi.
"Alright," Ye Ci hastily nodded, "it's fine, actually I'm a easy-going person, can make do with anything anywhere, really, really, never picky about food, drink, or accommodation."
Ye Huan almost fell over when she heard this sentence.
Lianyi smiled, feeling moved in her heart. This Ye Ci was indeed a good man - humorous and easy-going, with a rich family background but no airs about him. Most importantly, he was reliable! When he had a business opportunity, the first person he thought of was her, and he even came personally to tell her. She had found a true friend in him.
"That's all right, you take a short rest, I'll go and discuss with Da Hu." Lian Yi smiled and stood up, entering the house gracefully.
Ye Ciyu raised an eyebrow, looking disdainful. "Great Tiger"? What a terrible name, but it suits that ugly freak. Su Lianying and that ugly freak were like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung - it just didn't fit, he had to be the hero who saved the beauty.
Yehuan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but worry, "Young Master, are you sure you can sleep well here?" Their young master had been pampered since childhood and couldn't bear any hardship. He had even stayed awake all night at the luxurious Yuefang Inn in Qingzhou County because of the "harsh living conditions", let alone this small farmhouse courtyard.
"For beauty's sake, I can tolerate this!"
Ye Huan secretly shrugged his shoulders. Since the master had to endure it, what else could he do? "Young Master, are you... hungry?" He said, touching his own stomach.
After hearing what Jing Ye Huan said, Ye Ci also felt a knot in her stomach.
Those vegetarian dishes are crude, and the staple food is generally harmless to eat, but what did Ye Ci grow up eating? That was abalone and bird's nest, even rice grains were carefully selected one by one, and they wouldn't eat if it didn't look good or was too old. Now that Ye has eaten a whole stomach of this big dish, it's a bit hard to digest.
Besides having had dinner, I added another meal and felt unbearably full. Just now my attention was all on the beauty, but now that she's gone, I've come to realize that my abdomen is aching slightly.
However, for Su Lianwei, he continued to grit his teeth and endure.
Lianyi entered the house, stretched out her hand and gently knocked on Datou's door, "Are you asleep? Datou, I have something to discuss with you."
Dahyu was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, and when he heard Linlin's voice, he suddenly sat up and got out of bed to open the door himself.
Lianyi saw Da Hu and smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Da Hu. There's something I'd like to ask of you."
This polite remark suddenly widened the distance between the two people.
The big tiger's eyes, which had just lit up with hope, dimmed slightly, and he nodded, "En."
"Yecai and Yehuan, the two servants, came all the way here to tell us about the winery's affairs. Now that it's getting late at night, making them rush back might disturb their rest, so... uh... can they stay in your room?" Liangpi was a bit embarrassed, why should she bother Datou with her own affairs?
For the sake of the winery? Dahuo naturally didn't believe it, unfortunately Su Liangwei hadn't noticed. He let out a deep sigh, his heart sinking once again, "En." Saying that, he prepared to go back to his room to get his quilt.
"Tonight... " Her face flushed, she hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying it out loud, "Tonight, sleep at my place?" After careful consideration, the words still sounded ambiguous.
"I'll sleep in the kitchen." Da Hu replied succinctly, took his personal belongings and quilt, and prepared to go out.
Lianyi grabbed Dahu's arm, "Don't, or else people will find out that we're not a real couple."
Dà Hǔ heard this, lowered his head, and looked at her with a complex gaze, "If it's true, then it's true. If it's false...it can't be made true either. What does it matter if others know?"
Lianyi knew what Dahu wanted to say, but she didn't want to face it. "But the kitchen is full of grease and smoke, it's too dirty."
The big tiger let out a long sigh, Su Lianying didn't even want to explain, it seemed that he really had no other choice. "Forget it." He struggled free from Lianying's grasp and walked out of the house with determination.
The kitchen was swept clean by Su Lianhui, and Da Hu skillfully pulled out a straw mat from the miscellaneous items beside the kitchen, spread it on the ground, covered it with a sheet, threw down a pillow, and lay down himself, closing his eyes, no longer paying attention to Su Lianhui who followed.
Ripples wanted to speak but stopped, forget it. If there's fate but no affinity, some things will have to be faced sooner or later. It's better to end before starting, so the two won't feel awkward and can at least remain friends when meeting.
"Thank you, Da Hu." Lianyi said softly, her tone gentle. She turned and left the kitchen, carefully closing the door behind her.
Ripples spread out, and the big tiger's tightly closed eyes opened. Those thick eyebrows tightened and loosened, loosened and then tightened again.
Outside the kitchen, in the courtyard.
"Wait a minute, you two. I'll go and tidy up the room for you." Liang Wei smiled politely at Ye Ci, then turned around and entered the house.
Ye Ci was stunned by Su Lian's smile, and his soul was in a state of turmoil. He grabbed Ye Huan, who was covering her stomach beside him, "Did you see that? Su Lian and the beast are definitely fake husband and wife! If they weren't, why wouldn't they sleep in the same room? I guessed it right, Old Man Su forced Su Lian to marry the beast, but she liked Li's little white face. Later, after clever Su Lian saw through the true nature of the little white face, her heart turned cold and she devoted herself to her career. Ah, Su Lian, your true soulmate is here."
Ye Huan didn't have the heart to listen to Ye Ci's words, "Young Master, I'm in pain."
Ye Ciyu pushed Ye Huan away again, "From the hall to the kitchen, intelligent and wise, yet diligent and kind, Su Liangwei, who else in this world besides me, Ye San Shao, can conquer you?" As he spoke, his hand unconsciously covered his stomach.
Not to mention, he also felt some discomfort.
Lianyi tidied up the already clean and tidy room of Da Hu, then changed into new sheets, took out spare pillows and quilts, went out, and came to Ye Ci's side. "It's late at night, you two wash and sleep, tomorrow morning, I'll send you to the county town."
Ye Ciyu wanted to have a private conversation with the beautiful woman under the moonlight, but Su Lianyi didn't seem to have any intention of doing so. He swallowed his words and left, after all, he had only come this time to confirm whether Lianyi and that beast were truly husband and wife, and the result was satisfactory to him.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Lianyi," said Ye Ci.
"It's troublesome either way." Liang Wei led the two of them in, told them where to wash up, then helped close the door and returned to her own room.
Change clothes and wash up, get ready for rest, after all, she has been busy all day too.
After washing up, Ye Ci and the other person squeezed onto the bed. As soon as he thought that Su Lianyi was sleeping in another room under the same roof, Ye Ci felt extremely happy, covering his mouth and chuckling to himself, for a moment forgetting the unpleasantness of their surroundings.
Ye Huan felt uncomfortable, turned over and got out of bed, "Young master, I still feel unwell."
Ye sighed and patted his bulging stomach, "Actually... I'm also uncomfortable." But what can be done about it? "Bear with it, we'll be back tomorrow." Unconsciously comforting his own follower.
In another room, Liang Wei changed clothes and washed up, but didn't fall asleep. In her mind, she kept thinking of Da Hu's expression.
She knew that Da Hu was very disappointed and heartbroken, but she really couldn't agree to him or make promises to him. Not to mention that the two had only known each other for a few months, let alone that she didn't know Da Hu's identity, past, or even his real name, how could she easily give her heart away?
Indeed, she had also been moved before, but now that she has calmed down, she realizes that it was just a helpless attempt to seek a sense of security, just like the time she was attacked by thugs and Da Hu rushed to her defense.
Her infatuation is dependency rather than true love.
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, I lit the oil lamp, took out the account book, and continued to review the accounts that I hadn't finished during the day.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Lingling, are you asleep? Ah..." It was Ye Huan's voice, but it sounded very unusual.
Lianyi casually put on a piece of clothing and opened the door, "Ye Huan, what's wrong?"
Outside the door was Ye Huan, who covered his stomach with a red face and looked painful. "Lianying, do you have tea? The young master and I ate too much tonight and now we're feeling uncomfortable and can't sleep."
Ripples were shocked, "I'll go take a look." She didn't directly pick up the tea. If it were someone else, they should have taken whatever was offered, but she was a doctor and knew that some illnesses weren't as simple as they seemed on the surface. A fever wasn't necessarily just a cold, and abdominal pain wasn't necessarily just diarrhea. She wasn't afraid of anything else, what she feared was food poisoning.
"Are you okay?" When she entered another room, Liangli was startled to see that Ye Ci's face was pale, holding her abdomen and curled up on the bed.
The words on the leaves are seen in the heart, a beautiful woman has arrived, she raises her head and forces out an enchanting smile that captivates everyone.
Ripples didn't think much and saw him selling his wares, directly walking over, subconsciously stretching out her hand to touch his head. If it was food poisoning, it would likely cause a fever. "Tell me, where does it hurt?"
He pointed to his stomach.
"May I touch it?"
Ye nodded hastily, "Okay, okay." Can touch anywhere.
Lianyi first reached out to touch his abdomen, very unexpectedly, thinking that this playboy wouldn't have much abdominal muscle, but upon touching him, she found that his muscles were exceptionally firm. She had to use force to press down, "Does it hurt here?"
Ye Ciyu shook his head, "It doesn't hurt." The beauty's slender hand was actually touching his abdomen, it was... stimulating! He only felt his blood rushing back, if it went down a bit more...
Unfortunately, he was disappointed, Su Liangwei didn't move down, but instead pressed up a bit, "Does it hurt here?"
Leaf words disappointed, "not painful." Why not go down? Why not go down? Resentment!
After pressing several more places, she felt relieved. Although both Ye Ci and Ye Huan were ill at the same time, as for Ye Ci himself, it was possible to rule out appendicitis, enteritis, and diarrhea.
When she touched Ye Ci's stomach, the diagnosis was already made, "It's eating too fast, too much, indigestion." Standing up and returning to the room, Ye Huan also followed, waiting for Su Lianwei to make a strong tea to digest, but unexpectedly, Su Lianwei didn't take out the tea leaves, instead taking out a bag of sour fruit.
The sour fruit is called the name of Luan Guo, in modern times, this fruit is called Shanli Hong, there are many on the mountain, every household has it, children like to eat it, and it can also be made into a soup dish on ordinary days.
"Get up and take a walk with Yehuan in the yard, I'll be fine soon." She said, then took the sour fruit to the kitchen.
Thinking of the big tiger sleeping in the kitchen, Liang Wei felt a bit uneasy and hesitated for a moment before lightly knocking on the kitchen door. "Big Tiger, are you asleep? I...I need to use the kitchen." His tone was apologetic.
Before long, the kitchen door opened. Da Hu was still wearing his clothes and said "en" as he dodged to one side.
Time was pressing, Lianyi hastily scooped water to start a fire, while using a knife to cut open the sour fruit. After the water boiled, she poured in more than half a bag of sliced sour fruit and added sugar.
"What's this?"
Lianyi sighed and said, "The master and servant didn't eat well last night, now it's hard to digest. I'll cook some sour soup for them to help with digestion." As she spoke, she added more firewood to the stove, making the flames even stronger.
The water was boiling, with white steam rising rapidly. The lid was no longer stuck, and instead, a ladle was used to scoop out the sour soup, and some more water was added to the pot to simmer slowly. "Dahyu, sorry."
"It's nothing," said Da Hu.
No time to waste, Liangyi hastily held the bowl out of the kitchen, "You two don't need to leave, come and drink this." After finishing speaking, she handed the bowl in her hand to Ye Ci, then went back to the kitchen to scoop a bowl for Ye Huan.
The master and servant looked at the red, sticky liquid in their bowls, a sour smell assailed their nostrils, who could swallow it down?
"Miss Su, what's this? Isn't indigestion treated with strong tea? What's the use of drinking this?" Ye Huan asked.
Lianyi smiled patiently and explained, "This is sour soup. Food in the stomach is digested by gastric juice, which is acidic. Indigestion occurs when there's too much food and not enough gastric juice, so we need to increase acidity to aid digestion. Tea, on the other hand, is alkaline and won't help with digestion; instead, it will neutralize the acidic gastric juice. I know you don't understand all this, just remember to drink all of these soups."
In front of a beauty, Ye Ci was already desperate, having suffered all the sins he could in this life, so what's a little more bitter soup? He tilted his head and drank it down.
The sour taste was overwhelming, and he almost threw up, but for Su Liangwei, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it down.
Ye Huan saw that her masters had all drunk it, so she also pinched her nose and drank it. That sour soup was really sour! Her teeth ached from the sourness!
The ripples subsided as the two finished their drinks, and only then did she put away the bowl with a sigh of relief. "Strong tea can dispel greasiness, giving people an illusion that it aids digestion. Another reason not to drink strong tea is that night has fallen; how can one sleep after drinking it?"
Ye Ciyu said, "Right, Lianyi is right." Whatever it's right or wrong, they're all right.
With a smile, this guy is really an interesting person. "Alright, I'll accompany you for a walk later, after digesting the food, and then come back to sleep."
It was worth it just to see her like this, "Good." This stomach pain is worth it!
