Happy Little Scholar

Li Yi didn't know that he had become a treasure in some people's hearts. He was counting the things he bought this time.

In addition to grain, meat and seeds of some common vegetables, he also bought a lot of seasonings used in cooking.

Originally thought that the ancients should be far inferior to modern people in this regard, but what Li Yi didn't expect was that the seasonings of this era were even more than what he saw in modern times. He was dazzled by it, so he simply bought some of each.

After buying a lot of things, he spent most of the ten taels of silver, and there were about three taels left. Li Yi didn't spend it immediately, leaving some money for emergencies.

When eating breakfast, Liu Ruyi hadn't come back yet. When Li Yi asked Xiaohuan, the reply he got was that the lady often did this, and the little maid was used to it.

Li Yi didn't worry about Liu Ruyi. She could smash a solid wooden table with one palm. She was really a hero among heroes, and generally she wouldn't encounter any danger.

But it's not a good habit to disappear without a sound. Li Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He took out the hawthorns he bought yesterday and walked into the kitchen.

Xiaohuan was washing dishes in the kitchen. When she saw Li Yi come in, she poured all the icing sugar left over from the last Qiqiao Festival into the pot, added a little water, and slowly cooked it over low heat.

Instructing the little maid to watch the fire and not to burn the syrup, Li Yi cleaned the hawthorns, carefully cut them in half with a knife, took out the seeds inside, and polished the bamboo sticks that had been prepared long ago, and put them aside for use.

The little maid sat in front of the stove, but her big eyes glanced over here from time to time.

"My son-in-law seems to be going to make something delicious again..."

The little maid thought so in her heart and began to look forward to the food she was about to eat.

Li Yi was going to make candied haws today. There is no candied haws in this world, but in his original world, this is one of the most popular snacks in the world of bear children for thousands of years.

Although the types of candied haws have changed a lot in modern times, whether it is the careful selection of raw materials, exquisite packaging, or the use of other fruits to replace them, the taste of candied haws has been constantly renewed, but the only feeling of sweetness in sourness and lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth can never be replaced.

When Li Yi was a child in his rural hometown, what he most looked forward to seeing was the hawker who carried a bulging wooden stick with candied haws on it and wandered around the villages. He would spend a few dimes to buy a candied haws and lick it for half a day.

Later, when he grew up, he didn't eat it again. When he came to this world, he missed the familiar taste.

When this memory that belonged to him alone appeared in this world, he would also get some comfort in his heart.

Soon, when the syrup in the pot was almost cooked, Li Yi put the hawthorn fruits on bamboo sticks and rolled them in the pot for a few times. The surface of the fruit was covered with a layer of crystal clear sugar coating. After taking it out of the pot, the syrup quickly condensed, and the world's first string of candied haws came out of the oven.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Yi and Xiao Huan squatted at the door, each holding two strings of candied haws in their hands. After a light bite, after the crisp sound, there was a sour and sweet feeling in the mouth.

It was the first time for the little maid to eat candied haws. She didn't eat one at a time like Li Yi did, but first stretched out her tongue to lick the outer sugar coating, and her heart was sweet, and her eyes curved into beautiful crescents.

This scene was obviously very tempting. Li Yi didn't dare to look at it after taking a look. The actions of a young girl who made unintentionally could make people almost unable to control themselves. What would happen if she grew up?

Li Yi felt that even if Liu Xiahui was reborn, he would not be able to keep his chastity even though he was facing three beauties at home all day long...

"What is this?"

After finishing the two candied haws in his hand in no time, a voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw Liu Ruyi coming over with a candied haws in her hand. Only half of the hawthorn fruit on the top was left, and it was obvious that she had taken a bite.

"Oh, that's used to poison rats. Arsenic is added to the icing sugar. You must not eat it." Li Yi said seriously, squinting at the sugar residue left at the corner of Liu Ruyi's mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ruyi's face changed, and her pretty face immediately turned pale.

"Son-in-law, there is one less candied haws..." At this time, the little maid took two more strings of candied haws in her hand and walked over with some doubts.

Liu Ruyi turned her head and saw what Xiaohuan was holding in her hand. There was still a trace of sugar coating on the corner of her mouth. When she looked back at Li Yi, her pretty face turned cold, and one hand had already touched the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows suddenly. He was used to teasing Xiaohuan, and he didn't realize that it was the witch Liu Ruyi just now. He stood up suddenly and strode out the door.

"I remember that I still have to go to school today..."

The little maid was stunned for a moment and said, "Son-in-law, have you forgotten that the school is closed today, so you don't have to go..."

"Cough, cough, Xiaohuan, you remembered it wrong..." Li Yi coughed twice, but his steps became faster. The joke he made just now obviously scared Liu Ruyi. If she got angry, his small body couldn't stand it.

Bang!

Li Yi, who was rushing to escape the scene, was caught off guard and bumped into someone. It was soft, and he smelled a familiar fragrance in his nose.

Liu Ruyi looked up at her and frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry, sir?"

Li Yi looked up and was about to speak, but suddenly he saw blood seeping out from the place where he had bumped into her sleeves, and he was stunned.

It's just a bump, is it so serious?

Then, he realized something, hurriedly grabbed her hand, and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The little maid ran out of the yard and asked in panic.

Liu Ruyi followed closely behind. Seeing that she was standing there and was not seriously injured, he felt relieved and asked, "Are you okay?"

Liu Ruyi withdrew her hand without leaving any trace, smiled faintly, and said, "It's just a minor injury, it's okay."

She reached out and handed a small bag of things to Xiaohuan, saying, "Here are some food, put it in the kitchen."

"You have lost so much blood, what's the problem!" Li Yi frowned, threw the small bag of food aside, grabbed Liu Ruyi's hand again, and strode into the house.

"Xiaohuan, go boil some water, and bring the small box in my room." Soon a voice came from the house.

The little maid nodded fiercely and ran to the kitchen to boil water.

Liu Ruyi opened her mouth and said nothing in the end after being dragged into the house by Li Yi.

Inside the house, Li Yi took Liu Ruyi's arm and untied the bandage she had casually wrapped. Seeing the wound that was more than two inches long and still oozing blood, Li Yi couldn't help but gasp.

"How did you get hurt?"

After seeing the wound, Liu Ruyi, who was standing by, couldn't help but flash a cold light in her beautiful eyes.
