Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

To describe Chu Jie and that female comrade in one sentence, it can only be that fate is truly indescribable.

We just separated and we meet again right away. If this isn't fate, what else could it be?

Chu Jie came to the knocked-down stall with a dull look on his face and met the female comrade.

"coincidence!"

"Yes! What a coincidence."

It turned out that the female comrade knew that she had knocked down two stalls in a panic, but the situation was urgent and catching the thief was important. She silently memorized the location of the stall and thought about returning to compensate the stall owner. She didn't know that Chu Jie took the blame for her, so she came back without hesitation.

I happened to meet Chu Jie, the scapegoat.

The two stalls belonged to the same owner. The stall owner heard about the two people catching the thief, and when he saw the two people apologized at the same time, he let it go. "Forget it, you are doing a good deed. You don't have to pay for this loss. Brother, take your ID card away quickly. I was so nervous when I left it with you that I couldn't go home after get off work. I was afraid that you would come back and look for me but couldn't find me."

"No, we have to pay for what we damaged. Boss, could you please count the damaged goods?" Chu Jie was taught not to take a single penny from the public, so how could he let the stall owner suffer a loss?

"Yes, we'll pay together." The female comrade agreed.

"No, no. You two don't even look at what I sell in my store. Hehe, you really don't have to pay. It's more real than sugar." The stall owner saw the two people's words and actions, and he admired them more and more, and didn't want them to pay. "My store sells clothes. Although the stall collapsed, I didn't lose anything. Don't argue with me, the two of you."

Chu Jie and the other man looked at each other, and the female comrade was more attentive. "Boss, you think highly of us and don't want us to pay. But we can't let you suffer. Check if there are any dirty clothes, and we will pay for them as our apology."

The stall owner sells clothes. Although the clothes won't get damaged easily after the stall is knocked over, they will get dirty easily. If they get dirty, they can't be sold!

The three argued for a long time, and finally the stall owner gave in. Chu Jie and his partner bought the three soiled clothes and the deal was done.

"You two are both good people! You are brave enough to catch a thief, and you are also so considerate and sympathetic. I admire you so much. I will make friends with you two. I don't have any other skills, so I opened a small shop here to make a living. As long as you come to buy clothes, I will sell them to you at cost price."

"Okay, that's great. Thank you, big brother. I don't know your last name, so I can call you that from now on." Chu Jie also liked the stall owner's bold and daring character. It would be nice to make friends with him, so he took the opportunity to strike.

The female comrade had this idea in her mind. She was not a shy person, so when she heard this, she stared at the stall owner with burning eyes.

"Yang Guang."

"Chu Jie."

"Lin Fengwan."

From then on, the three of them became friends and supported and pulled each other up in the days that followed.

Come back home

Do you think that Chu Jie and Lin Fengwan's fate ended so simply? Then you think too simply.

After Chu Jie finished his business in Rongcheng, he boarded the train back to Shizishan. He vaguely saw Lin Fengwan's shadow, but there were so many people on the train that her figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chu Jie shook his head in amusement, secretly despising his own delusions.

Arriving in Tuo County, Chu Jie saw Lin Fengwan again in the bustling crowd. He blinked in disbelief to make sure he had not recognized the wrong person. He walked through the crowded crowd, came to Lin Fengwan, and gently patted her shoulder with his hand.

Lin Fengwan turned around and looked at Chu Jie in disbelief, "What a coincidence."

"Yeah! What a coincidence!"

There will be three encounters in life, the first is "accidental", the second is "inevitable", and the third is "destined". Lin Fengwan, who has a strong artistic color and is very romantic and literary, likes this sentence very much.

"Where are you going?" Lin Fengwan couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"I'm going home. What about you? Are you going to visit relatives or friends?" Chu Jie thought about this unexpected encounter and secretly made up his mind. He wanted to know everything about the girl in front of him, but there was no rush. He had to take his time. Slowly, so as not to scare the girl away.

Lin Fengwan didn't expect Chu Jie to be a local. She was worried about not being able to find Lion Mountain, so she happily pulled Chu Jie's sleeve and asked: "You are a local, so you must know where Lion Mountain is!?"

Chu Jie glanced at the sleeve being pulled, and the tips of his ears turned red. He was also happy when he heard about Lion Mountain, and decided to take the girl home. "Lion Mountain! I know! I happen to live there too, so why don't we go together?"

"Okay, okay!" Lin Fengwan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and nodded repeatedly.

Chu Jie put the luggage on his back and picked up Lin Fengwan's luggage. "It takes half an hour to walk from here to Lion Mountain. The road is bumpy and not easy to walk on. You are a little girl who has never walked on such a road. You must be careful and don't fall. I will help you carry the luggage, you just concentrate on walking."

Lin Fengwan had been in the countryside for more than ten years, and his strength had long been trained. He was very stable even when walking on the country roads. She was about to refuse, but when she saw Chu Jie's handsome face, she couldn't say no.

"Okay!" Lin Fengwan felt that his face must have turned red, and he walked directly in front of Chu Jie in embarrassment.

"Wrong way, go this way."

Lin Fengwan... She said that she wished she were a snail. She could bury her face in a heavy shell and no one could see it.

"Wow, the flowers here are so pretty."

"These are daisies. There are lots of them here."

"Hey, what's that thing in the field? It's red and crystal clear." Lin Fengwan carefully touched it with his index finger, and the thing actually broke. "Hey, there's water in it."

“Those are snail eggs.”

"Huh, that's a bit disgusting." Lin Fengwan's face changed instantly when he thought of the ugly snail.

"Here, use this to wipe it." Chu Jie hurriedly picked up an orange leaf.

"What kind of leaf is this?"

"Orange leaves."

"Hey, you're so weird! You actually use orange leaves to wipe your hands." Although he said it was weird, his hand took the leaf very honestly.

The two of them talked about strange topics along the way. Others might not be able to pick up the topic, but they had a good chat.

All I can say is that there is always a lid to match a cup.
