Chapter 119: Buying Lots and Lots of Delicious Food

“Ah?”

Jiang Yubing heard the shout and raised her head in response.

At that moment she saw that Shen Qingxuan held freshly roasted potatoes in his hands, so she hurriedly stood up and walked over.

“They are still a little hot.”

Seeing her reach out to take them, Shen Qingxuan quickly reminded her.

“Got it.”

Jiang Yubing replied.

After she received the potatoes, she pursed her lips and blew on them.

When they felt less hot, she took a small bite.

A faint sweet fragrance spread through her mouth at once.

A smile instantly appeared on Jiang Yubing’s face.

She realized that potatoes could actually be eaten roasted.

She never tried this way of eating before.

At that moment Shen Qingxuan waved a bowl in front of her.

“Do you want to dip some chili?”

He felt that you could not eat potatoes without chili.

Looking at the bowl filled with chili powder, Jiang Yubing asked doubtfully, “Will it taste better this way?”

When she saw the idiot husband nod, she dipped the bitten potato into the bowl, lightly coated it with chili, then placed it in her mouth with some hesitation.

“How is it!”

After she finished eating, Shen Qingxuan asked with an expectant look.

Because they bought the small kind of potatoes, Jiang Yubing finished it in just a few bites.

After she ate, she still seemed unsatisfied and even licked her lips.

“Delicious.”

“Husband, I want more!”

Shen Qingxuan laughed and replied, “Alright, I will peel them for you right away.”

Afraid he might be too busy, Jiang Yubing also squatted beside him and picked up a potato from the ground.

By coincidence, the potato she picked up was exactly the one Shen Qingxuan just dug out of the ashes.

As soon as Jiang Yubing picked it up, it burned her and she immediately dropped it with a cry.

Seeing this, Shen Qingxuan ignored the half-peeled potato in his hand and quickly grabbed Jiang Yubing’s hand to check it.

When he saw that nothing was wrong, he muttered under his breath, “Idiot wife, why didn’t you just wait to eat?”

“I just wanted to peel one for you too!”

Jiang Yubing spoke in a grievance-filled voice.

Shen Qingxuan froze for a moment.

He did not expect that she thought this way.

He raised his eyes to meet Jiang Yubing’s gaze, and she gave him a sweet smile.

“You can still smile.”

Shen Qingxuan pinched her hand lightly in mock annoyance.

“Be careful next time, don’t burn yourself again.”

Jiang Yubing nodded obediently.

She watched Shen Qingxuan peel the potatoes and asked like a curious husband, “Husband, how did you know that roasted potatoes taste so good?”

Shen Qingxuan answered calmly, “When my family was poor in my childhood, we had no snacks to eat.”

“We often dug potatoes from someone else’s field and then found a place outdoors to roast them over a fire.”

While she listened to Shen Qingxuan talk about his childhood, Jiang Yubing’s eyes filled with sympathy.

She gently rested her head on his shoulder and said, “Husband, now you have me, from now on I will buy you lots of tasty food.”

Shen Qingxuan smiled and handed her the peeled potato.

“Thank you, wife. With you around, everything tastes good.”

Jiang Yubing took the potato, took a big bite, and mumbled while chewing, “It tastes so good, husband, you eat some too.”

As she spoke, she broke off a piece of potato and held it to Shen Qingxuan’s lips.

Shen Qingxuan did not stand on ceremony and took it into his mouth.

The two of them then shared the food, taking turns with each bite.

After they finished eating, Jiang Yubing dusted the crumbs from her hands and looked at the few small potatoes left on the ground.

An idea suddenly occurred to her and she said, “Husband, let’s compete at roasting potatoes and see who does it faster and better.”

Shen Qingxuan raised an eyebrow at her and said, “Then what reward does the winner get, and what penalty does the loser face?”

Jiang Yubing tilted her head in thought, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

“The winner can make the loser agree to one request, how about it?”

Shen Qingxuan nodded with a smile and said, “Sure, then I won’t show any mercy.”

So the two of them each picked up a potato and started roasting in earnest.

Imitating Shen Qingxuan’s earlier method, Jiang Yubing kept turning the potato with a small stick.

Afraid it might burn, she kept her eyes fixed on it.

Shen Qingxuan roasted his potato while sneaking glances at Jiang Yubing from time to time.

Seeing her serious yet slightly flustered appearance, he could not help but laugh secretly in his heart.

Before long, one side of Jiang Yubing’s potato turned slightly black.

When she noticed, she quickly exclaimed, “Ah, how did I burn it?”

“Husband, help me look quickly.”

Hearing that, Shen Qingxuan immediately leaned over to take a look.

“It’s fine, the slightly charred skin will taste even better.”

Only then did Jiang Yubing breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, the two of them announced almost at the same time that they were done roasting.

They put the potatoes together for comparison.

Although parts of Jiang Yubing’s potato were burnt black, overall it still looked decent.

Shen Qingxuan’s, on the other hand, appeared golden.

Previously they were wrapped in ashes; this time they were roasted.

A smile spread across Shen Qingxuan’s face.

“Wife, it seems you lost.”

Jiang Yubing naturally knew she lost, but she felt a bit unconvinced.

“How can we decide the winner just by looking? We have to taste them first.”

So the two of them tasted each other’s roasted potatoes.

Jiang Yubing took a bite of the potato roasted by Shen Qingxuan.

The soft, sweet texture instantly made her exclaim in praise.

“Wow, husband, yours tastes so good.”

Shen Qingxuan also tasted the one roasted by Jiang Yubing and found it nice as well.

However, compared with his own, it was still slightly inferior.

Jiang Yubing lowered her head in slight dejection and said, “I lost.”

Seeing her like this, Shen Qingxuan rubbed her head with a smile to comfort her.

“It’s alright, this is your first time roasting, and it still tasted great.”

“Let’s say you won, after all, you are my wife!”

As soon as she heard that, Jiang Yubing immediately grew displeased.

Was she the type who could not accept losing?

“Thank you, husband, give me a kiss.”

…

It was ten o’clock at night.

Bai Youwei just went to sleep when a series of cat cries suddenly sounded outside.

When she first heard the sounds, she felt a bit happy, thinking Big Orange had come back to play with her again.

After waiting quite a while, she found that the cries still came from the same place without stopping.

Not only that, but another cat cry joined in.

Bai Youwei immediately realized what was happening and could not help but complain inwardly.

So it was a scummy cat that found a new lover so soon.

She grabbed her pillow in frustration, covered her ears, and tried to continue sleeping.

However, the cat cries seemed to oppose her on purpose and continued nonstop.

Especially the cry of the other cat sounded like ghostly wails.

Even though Bai Youwei knew in her heart that only two cats were calling outside, she still could not help but imagine something scary.

As a result, the more she thought, the more panic she felt.

Bai Youwei’s eyes opened wide as she stared hard at the corner ahead.

She always felt that something there was watching her.

As her fear mounted, Bai Youwei’s heart thumped wildly.

At last she could not bear it and quickly reached out to switch on the light.
