She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Lian Chengmo slept for more than an hour. When he woke up again, he smelled a fragrance.

The camp had returned to peace, and everyone had learned from Yao Dazhuang and the others about the place they were going to. It was a secluded paradise, nestled against the mountains and by the water, with fertile soil, making it perfect for living in seclusion.

Although everyone learned that there was a master and apprentice living there, who were said to be miracle doctors and could use poison, Yao Dazhuang said that the young master had already reached an agreement with them, and that they would each live on one side and not disturb each other.

The villagers of Yao Li Village had great faith in Lian Chengmo's abilities, and they didn't take this small matter to heart at all, having no idea just how destructive the opponent was.

When Lian Chengmo came out of the tent, everyone was preparing lunch, especially the families of the sixteen people who went out to find a place. They felt sorry for their children who had worked hard, so they prepared a lot of meat to nourish them.

The entire camp was filled with a fragrance, but the strongest aroma came from the Pinellia ternata.

She traded one with the hunting team, made a pot of stewed taro, and also made a steamed fish with chopped chili peppers, along with a few stir-fried dishes, making a five-dish-and-one-soup meal.

In this remote mountain area, the food we have is already quite plentiful, and the little ones are already drooling over the makeshift table.

Banxia finished cooking the taro and was about to go back to call Lianchengmo to get up for dinner when she turned around and saw him looking over from the edge of the tent.

"Lian Chengmo, you're awake! It's almost time to eat. Go wash up and come over to get ready to eat," Banxia said with a smile.

"Okay!" Lian Chengmo smiled at the little girl and nodded slightly in agreement.

As soon as Lian Chengmo sat down, Banxia immediately called out "Dinner is served!" and everyone started eating. The little ones, in particular, buried their heads in their food and ate without even looking up.

Lian Chengmo looked at the table full of dishes, several of which he didn't recognize. He didn't know which one to pick up first. In that short moment of hesitation, Banxia quickly picked up several pieces for him with her chopsticks.

It contains taro, chicken, and the freshest, most tender fish meat, among other things.

"Lian Chengmo, you should try this! This is a new dish I found called taro, and this fish is also made with fresh seasonings. See if you like it," Banxia said happily as she picked up some food.

Taro is a really good thing, and it's also delicious when steamed with chopped chili. It's a pity that it's missing soy sauce, cooking wine, and oyster sauce, otherwise it would be even better.

"Okay, you don't need to serve me any more, you can eat by yourself." Lian Chengmo couldn't help but smile, and he reached out with his chopsticks a few times to serve the little girl some food.

Without exception, they were all meat; he remembered that the little girl loved to eat meat the most.

Before Lian Chengmo was around, the kids were used to fighting over food, so they let loose when it was time to eat. But now that they heard him speak, they all unconsciously slowed down.

As for Qi Sanshui's family, once Lian Chengmo returned, they consciously separated from Banxia and the others to eat at two separate tables, otherwise there wouldn't be enough room.

Lian Chengmo wasn't unaware of his younger siblings' actions, but he simply smiled and didn't say anything more. Ayu and Xiaoshuang'er always behaved well in front of him.

Changshan and Juanbai have followed his example since they learned to read, but now he doesn't want to restrict his younger siblings; let them do whatever they want.

Looking at the new food in the bowl, Lian Chengmo first picked up a piece of taro and took a bite.

After taking a bite, he nodded to himself. This stuff was indeed delicious. Its soft and powdery texture was suitable for all ages, and like noodles, it seemed to be very filling, not just something to eat as a side dish.

Lian Chengmo's eyes brightened slightly, then he looked at the fish meat, which was still covered with some green and white foam. The little girl said that the fish was made with new seasonings, and he was looking forward to it.

After taking one bite, Lian Chengmo's face turned pale, and in the next instant, he almost spat out the fish in his mouth.

However, his good manners allowed him to refrain from such an unseemly act. Lian Chengmo frowned and swallowed the fish with difficulty, then immediately got up to find some water.

"Lian Chengmo, what's wrong with you?" Banxia, ​​with chopsticks still in her mouth, looked at the man with a puzzled expression, noticing his somewhat flustered appearance.

"I want to get some water." Lian Chengmo said with a straight face, trying hard to suppress the spicy taste in his mouth.

Daxia peppers are spicy. Wealthy families who love spicy food will add some dogwood to their dishes, but the spiciness of dogwood is not even close to that of wild chili peppers.

Not to mention, Banxia added a lot of chopped chili peppers to the fish to remove the fishy smell. If Lian Chengmo hadn't come back from his hard work, Banxia wouldn't have been willing to add so many fresh chili peppers.

After all, she hasn't collected enough seeds to achieve chili pepper freedom yet.

But now, Banxia immediately understood what was going on with Lian Chengmo. Despite being from the South, Lian Chengmo couldn't handle spicy food.

She had given it to Ayu and Xiaoshuang'er before, and they both adapted well, proving that the Liancheng family eats spicy food. Who would have thought that it wouldn't work with Liancheng Mo?

"Here, I'll get it for you." After understanding, Banxia immediately poured a large bowl of cold water for Lianchengmo.

Seeing him gulp down several mouthfuls without a care for his image, Banxia gave him some jam to drink.

Lian Chengmo drank water, then jam, then water again before the spiciness in his mouth was finally subsided.

"Banxia, ​​how much dogwood did you put in?" Lian Chengmo asked Banxia subconsciously after recovering.

Evodia is generally a food enjoyed by people in the south. When Lian Chengmo's parents were alive, they would also cook dishes with evodia. However, Lian Chengmo has never been able to eat spicy food since he was a child, so his family would only put a lot of evodia in their dishes.

Not to mention, as a rare seasoning in the north, dogwood was quite expensive in the county where his grandfather governed, so he was even less likely to use it lavishly.

Therefore, Lian Chengmo had never eaten such spicy food before.

"Cornelian? I didn't put any cornelian in it. You mean the seasoning in the fish? That's a kind of wild chili pepper I found. How is it? Isn't it very spicy?"

"Sigh, it's a pity you can't handle spicy food. It's just that it's summer now. In winter, you can eat some dishes made with wild chili peppers, which will keep you warm for a long time."

"I think this stuff is good, so I've picked a lot and stored it up." Banxia saw that Lian Chengmo's face was burning red, and she tried to cover it up for herself, feeling a little guilty.

Actually, the food she made for the children these past two days wasn't this spicy. It's just that she thought Lian Chengmo could handle spicy food since he came back, and she was craving it herself.

Unexpectedly, hehe...

Banxia glanced at the plate of spicy steamed fish, thinking that it was probably going to be enjoyed by her alone.

Lian Chengmo didn't expect the girl to say that, but he silently felt his face and stomach burning from the spiciness, and they really did feel hot.

Suddenly his eyes lit up. How come he had never noticed that spicy food had this benefit before?
