Chapter 43: Male Differences, Little Wolf Cub

Jiang Shian felt that he should write "No physical contact between men" on a piece of paper and stick it on the head of his bed so that he could see it every day.

In order to prevent him from always forgetting that he and Ji Yinghuai have different identities, he always does things that make the other party feel puzzled.

Looking at the puppy in his arms, he lowered his head and sighed, saying faintly: "You have to supervise me in the future. If you see me doing something inappropriate to Ji Er, come and bite off my trouser legs."

I don't know if the puppy understood or not, but it really bit his sleeve obediently.

Jiang Shian put it on the ground, washed his hands with the water in the wooden barrel, turned around and planned to wrap the buns and put them in the pot first.

Before he even lifted his legs he felt his trouser legs being pulled twice, he looked down and saw that it was indeed the puppy biting his trouser legs with its teeth and tearing them, and its claws were hugging his ankles, and a pair of eyes with yellow pupils were looking at him eagerly.

Jiang Shian glanced at the crumbs on the ground and guessed that the puppy was not full and was begging for food.

So he threw the last steamed bun in the pot to the puppy. It was a mixture of coarse and fine flour, so it didn't hurt too much.

Chop the minced meat and leeks together, add salt, chili powder and a little sesame oil, stir well and set aside.

After proofing, the dough filled more than half a basin. Jiang Shian sprinkled some dry flour on the chopping board to prevent sticking. He then rolled the dough into long strips and cut it into pieces of the same size. He could then roll them out and start wrapping them.

The dough is thick in the middle and thin at the edges. After adding the minced meat and leek filling, fold it in half and then pinch it in one direction to close the opening.

In modern times, he worked in a bun shop and was an apprentice for a while, so he was quick and skillful in making buns.

He counted as he wrapped the food, and when he was done he would send some to Huang Fugui's house. The leftovers could be saved for breakfast the next morning, so that they wouldn't have to spend money to buy snacks when they went to town.

The water on the stove had boiled. He put the steamer on it, covered it with a layer of white cloth, and then put the buns into the steamer one by one.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

A question suddenly came from behind, and Jiang Shian's hands shook, and he almost dropped the bun on the ground.

Ji Yinghuai realized that he had scared him by speaking out suddenly, and his face looked a little embarrassed.

"I've finished wrapping. Please help me light the fire. Make it very big." Jiang Shian pointed to the stool in front of the stove, turned around and spoke to Ji Yinghuai.

Ji Yinghuai responded, sat back on the stool and added two pieces of firewood to the stove.

Because of what happened just now, both of them were silent at the moment, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Ji Yinghuai thought for a moment before speaking: "Is there enough firewood in the woodshed? If not, I'll go up the mountain to chop some back another day."

Jiang Shian nodded. There were only two of them in the room, so there was no point in being awkward, so he put all the mess behind him.

He moved a stool and sat next to Ji Yinghuai to talk to him.

"That's enough. All the cabinets and chairs that were eaten by insects or rotten in the room can be used as firewood."

The two chatted about going up the mountain to chop firewood, then talked about the buns in the pot, and then talked about today's business. Slowly, Jiang Shian's tone was smiling again.

"By the way, I picked a lot of Chinese toon and prickly ash sprouts when I went up the mountain today. They are all wild vegetables. Have you ever eaten them before?" Jiang Shian asked curiously.

Ji Yinghuai shook his head. When he was in the capital, no chef would dare to serve wild vegetables to his table. Later, when he went to the battlefield, although he ate communal meals with the soldiers every day, no one served wild vegetables to his table.

He was naturally curious about what it tasted like, but he had never eaten it.

After hearing what Jiang Shian said, he became interested, "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Shian nodded immediately and began to explain to him excitedly, "It's delicious, very delicious. This wild vegetable is as good as meat and wine if cooked properly. I'll make you some fried eggs with Chinese toon and some fried pork with dragon teeth. I didn't go to the field this time, next time I'll dig some shepherd's purse and bring it back to make tofu soup. It's very delicious, and it can also be used to make dumplings or buns. And the ground vegetable..."

Seeing Jiang Shian talking excitedly, Ji Yinghuai just listened quietly. When he heard something curious, he asked, "Which wild vegetables can be eaten? What do they look like? What other benefits can they have?"

Jiang Shian thought he was quite knowledgeable about food, and seeing that Ji Yinghuai was curious but knew nothing, he talked incessantly to the man.

The key is that Ji Er also cooperated with him. He was not impatient and asked him various questions seriously.

"Shi An knows so much. I always thought you weren't someone who knew about these wild vegetables from the countryside. It seems I was just too superficial."

Ji Yinghuai had a gentle smile on his face, but the words he said stunned him.

Jiang Shian looked away feeling guilty.

Oh no, it seems that I have revealed too many things in front of Ji Yinghuai that the original owner would not do.

But seeing that the man's face showed only curiosity but no suspicion, he felt slightly relieved.

He comforted himself, this place is quite far from the county town, Ji Er has never seen him before, so he shouldn't think too much about it, right? Anyway, they both have their own secrets now, and they are both sensible people, so naturally they won't ask too many questions.

The steamer on the stove is already steaming, and as the white hot air rises from above, the kitchen is filled with the aroma of steamed buns and meat.

The puppy lying on the ground howled twice and limped towards them.

The puppy didn't make a sound when they were talking, so Ji Yinghuai didn't notice it. But when he heard the howling sound, he turned his eyes to the little gray thing on the ground.

Jiang Shian stood up from the stool and explained when he saw him looking at the paparazzi: "I picked up this puppy on the mountain this afternoon. I felt sorry for him because his leg was injured, so I brought him back."

He reached out to take off the lid of the steamer, looked at the big white and soft buns in the steamer, and continued, "In the future, we will definitely go to town often, and it will be inconvenient without a housekeeper. I was originally thinking of asking in the village or town to buy a dog to raise. Now is the perfect time. I can get a big dog to take care of it for a while, and soon the puppies will be able to look after the house by themselves."

Ji Yinghuai did not answer him immediately. He frowned as he looked at the "dog" squatting on the ground.

There are also dogs in the military camp, but they are slightly faster wolfhounds. Sometimes when they pass through mountains or canyons, they will let the wolfhounds explore the way first. Besides, dogs are relatively spiritual animals and can give warnings when encountering danger.

The gray thing in front of him looked a bit like a dog, but he just didn't think it looked like the puppies used in the military camp. He was a little unsure about its size, so he stretched out his hand to pry open the pup's jaw and look at its teeth.

Sure enough, it is much sharper than a dog's. And the tail behind it. The dog's tail is bent upward, and it wags towards its owner when it is happy.

But this wolf's tail is different. It's longer than a dog's tail, and stands upright in a sharp knife shape.

From Jiang Shian's tone, he could tell that he liked the "puppy" in his hand very much. Ji Yinghuai hesitated. This wolf cub was not like a dog. It would become loyal and close to humans over time. The most important thing was that it was a carnivore.

After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Shi An, this little thing is not a dog, it is a real wolf cub. You picked up a little wolf."

"Ah?" Jiang Shian paused while picking up the bun and opened his mouth in surprise.

He put down the bun in his hand, walked to the puppy, picked it up and looked at it carefully, then stretched out the puppy's paw and looked at it for a moment.

Although he had never seen a wolf carefully, he still knew the difference between a wolf and a dog. It was also his fault that he didn't take a closer look when he brought the dog down from the mountain because he thought it was injured.

No wonder he said something was wrong. He thought the dog was too young to bark. But isn’t “howl, howl” the cry of a wolf cub?

The little wolf cub rubbed his hand again and seemed very affectionate to him holding it in his arms.
