“Solely let my spouse care.”

The looking group within the village shortly set off, and for some time, the whole Tie Village grew to become visibly depressed.

After just a few busy days, Cheng Yun distributed the greens he had collected to Bao’er and Aunt Wang, after which began eager about scorching pot with Yang Hongjin.

He shared this concept with Liu Wen. Though the general plan had not taken form but, simply the thought itself was sufficient to make Liu Wen excited.

So these previous few days, Cheng Yun went to Yueqiong Tower on daily basis, as if he was learning meals with Liu Wen once more, besides this time he didn’t counsel leaving Yang Hongjin behind at dwelling however took him alongside wherever he went.

Throughout lunch at Yueqiong Tower, whereas watching Cheng Yun maintain Yang Hongjin meticulously, as if he was afraid he would go hungry, placing meals in his bowl and even feeding him, Liu Wen’s eyes turned bitter, and he stated, “Are you able to please tone it down? I’m on their lonesome right here, and but you two are so affectionate in entrance of me. Ought to I even trouble consuming this meal?”

Cheng Yun’s hand froze in midair, as if caught red-handed. With a blush on his face, he withdrew his hand and put the fish he was going to feed Yang Hongjin into his personal mouth as an alternative, retorting, “I’m simply afraid he gained’t eat sufficient, and I’ll must prepare dinner one other meal after we get dwelling.”

Liu Wen stated, “Even a pig could be well-fed with you!”

Cheng Yun glanced at him sideways, Liu Wen figuring out he had misspoken placed on a gesture of give up.

He introduced up the primary subject, “I requested the blacksmith in regards to the form of pot you talked about. They stated it may be made, however they haven’t tried it earlier than, so it would take a while to determine it out.”

“Okay,” Cheng Yun nodded. After it for a second, he couldn’t assist however attain out and wipe Yang Hongjin’s mouth, saying, “The primary difficulty is the boiler. How can we make the range smaller in order that it may be positioned on each desk and repeatedly present warmth?”

At first, they envisioned utilizing a coal range, however after they tried it, the coal ash was too pungent and stuffed the whole room with smoke in only a few minutes. So they’d to surrender on that concept.

Liu Wen had been pondering this difficulty these previous few days and had a contemplative look when he went to the blacksmith’s store. The blacksmith requested him what was on his thoughts.

In order that they spent a complete afternoon discussing it with the blacksmith, and at last, they got here up with some concepts. Liu Wen took out a drawing and instructed Cheng Yun, “Have a look, that is the results of my dialogue with the blacksmith.”

He pointed on the drawing and made just a few gestures. “The pot you talked about is supposed to have one aspect for clear broth and the opposite aspect for spicy broth. However contemplating the necessity for heating on the backside, the blacksmith prompt making the pot with an outer and inside circle, with clear broth on the surface and spicy broth on the within. They might dig out a hole part on the backside the place charcoal could be positioned for heating. There would even be a small door on the surface to hide the smoke and ash.”

As quickly as Cheng Yun noticed the drawing, his eyes lit up, and after listening to Liu Wen’s clarification, he was fully satisfied.

Wasn’t this the standard copper scorching pot generally used of their future!

He took the drawing and thought for a second, including just a few strokes to revive the kinds he had seen earlier than as precisely as potential.

“We are able to forged two layers of copper plates on the pot’s place to separate the broths, making a twin scorching pot. The underside and the center channel shall be instantly related, with charcoal positioned from beneath. The highest opening can have two iron plates hooked up to resemble a swap, so we will management the warmth of the pot ourselves.”

Cheng Yun gestured, “If the broth is just too scorching, we will open the iron plates to permit air circulation and funky it down. And when it’s not scorching sufficient, we will shut them to entice the warmth inside and pace up the cooking course of.”

Liu Wen regarded and regarded once more, feeling that Cheng Yun’s modification was sensible!

This scorching pot had many benefits, saving the difficulty of hiring a chef. Every thing could be self-service, and with correct administration, the income would simply surpass abnormal eating places. Plus, they might create a gimmick and immediately appeal to prospects.

Liu Wen’s thoughts grew to become extra energetic, and the 2 of them labored collectively to enhance many particulars, and the looks of the recent pot was principally finalized.

Liu Wen was excited, with a flushed face. Unable to sit down nonetheless after consuming solely half of the meal, he shortly placed on his garments, took the drawing, and headed straight to the blacksmith’s store.

Cheng Yun regarded helpless, however with out outsiders round, he loved the peace.

He didn’t need to admit his little ideas. Recently, the rumors within the village had change into increasingly outrageous. Not solely Aunt Wang, however different folks had come to him with related phrases. To keep away from bother, Cheng Yun introduced Yang Hongjin out in a match of anger.

He checked out Yang Hongjin’s carefree look and have become irritated. He reached out and pinched his face, obvious at him with irritation.

Yang Hongjin, with a mouthful of meals, was instantly pinched, and a grain of rice was nonetheless hanging from the nook of his mouth. He regarded puzzled and requested, “Spouse?”

Cheng Yun couldn’t assist however chortle at his expression and reached out to wipe his face, saying, “Your spouse is upset.”

Yang Hongjin grew to become nervous as quickly as he heard it. He hurriedly put down the spoon and held Cheng Yun’s head, taking two breaths earlier than saying, “Spouse just isn’t unhappy.” Then he leaned his personal face over and stated, “Hongjin allow you to pinch.”

Cheng Yun was immediately amused however nonetheless maintained a severe face. He obediently pinched Yang Hongjin with power, inflicting Yang Hongjin’s eyebrows to furrow earlier than releasing him.

Seeing that Yang Hongjin’s face was purple from being pinched, Cheng Yun instantly felt sorry for him. Nonetheless, earlier than he may consolation him, Yang Hongjin wore a pitiful expression and stated, “Hongjin is in ache.”

He cupped Yang Hongjin’s face and rubbed it whereas soothing him. He couldn’t assist however mutter to himself, “You large fool. After I’m upset, you come over and let me pinch you. If another person says they’re upset, would you allow them to pinch you too? Solely I might look after you, and also you make the most of me.”

His tone carried a touch of sourness that he wasn’t even conscious of. The considered somebody within the village eyeing his husband made him indignant.

Yang Hongjin loved being comforted by his spouse and stated in a believable method, “Solely let my spouse pinch, solely let my spouse care.”

Cheng Yun laughed at his antics and poked his brow, saying, “You’re studying to be smooth-tongued now.”

“Solely smooth-tongued with my spouse!”

Cheng Yun lastly realized that each time Yang Hongjin used the phrase ‘solely let my spouse do one thing,’ he would immediately really feel completely satisfied. This idiot will need to have recognized that this trick was efficient, so he all the time used it on Cheng Yun. He reluctantly admitted that he was simply swayed and questioned why this man instantly grew to become intelligent.

The 2 of them exchanged all types of candy nothings, and Cheng Yun’s temper may simply be swayed by this fool. Earlier than lengthy, the earlier gloominess was gone. However Yang Hongjin appeared unhappy and stored bringing his face near Cheng Yun, saying he was harm from being pinched and wished kisses. Cheng Yun couldn’t do something however blush and provides him two kisses.

After having dinner on the town, the 2 of them returned dwelling. Cheng Yun helped Yang Hongjin take a shower, and he shortly freshened up himself. Seeing that it was nonetheless early, Cheng Yun took out the account e-book to do some calculations.

Their enterprise had been thriving just lately. Li Fan would deliver folks to move items each 5 days, and every time they might earn a secure revenue of three to 4 taels of silver. After solely a month, Cheng Yun’s pocket had gained three to 4 taels of silver. Equally, Bao’er and Aunt Wang may additionally obtain an analogous quantity.

Through the earlier interval, Cheng Yun bought just a few recipes to Liu Wen, and with a wave of his hand, Liu Wen gave him fifty taels. Along with the financial savings from earlier than, Cheng Yun now had almost 100 taels of silver in his pocket. It could be no drawback to purchase a home on the town and even in Nanming Metropolis.

Nonetheless, Cheng Yun didn’t plan to try this. Tie Village had a snug surroundings, though there have been some eccentric people, nearly all of the folks had been nonetheless kind-hearted. Furthermore, this was his and Yang Hongjin’s roots. That they had lived right here for thus lengthy, so there was some sentimental attachment.

He considered find out how to make good use of this cash, reminiscent of opening a store on the town or one thing related, however he couldn’t provide you with a good suggestion in the meanwhile.

Out of the blue, there was a shadow above Cheng Yun’s head. He turned his head and noticed Yang Hongjin standing beside him, wanting down at him.

“No, I need spouse.” Yang Hongjin insisted, “Spouse, let’s sleep.”

Yang Hongjin fortunately held his hand and led him again to the room. He even took the initiative to blow out the candle. After Cheng Yun acquired into mattress, Yang Hongjin hugged him tightly, rubbed his face, and fortunately stated, “Spouse, you odor good.”

Cheng Yun was confused by his collection of actions. He didn’t even react till he was being hugged tightly. He tapped his hand helplessly and stated, “What’s fallacious with you? I can’t breathe correctly.”

Yang Hongjin was scared by his phrases and shortly let go, making an attempt to see Cheng Yun’s face at the hours of darkness. Seeing that he was high-quality, he let loose a sigh of aid.

However quickly, he grew to become melancholic and stated, “Earlier than, spouse used to carry me whereas sleeping, and now I need to maintain my spouse too!”

He solely realized what he had achieved the subsequent day. He thought this idiot didn’t perceive something, however now he was citing the previous!

Cheng Yun turned his face away and didn’t have a look at him. Nonetheless, after some time, he felt a heat presence behind him, and this time Yang Hongjin solely dared to flippantly embrace him, however the posture nonetheless encircled Cheng Yun in his arms.

Cheng Yun didn’t say something extra. He rubbed in opposition to Yang Hongjin, discovered a snug place, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with a faint smile on his lips.

Yang Hongjin may sense his delicate adjustments and his coronary heart raced with pleasure. He wished to carry Cheng Yun tightly, however he additionally remembered Cheng Yun’s earlier phrases, so he may solely quietly, little by little, shut the space between them till their our bodies had been tightly pressed collectively.

Quickly, Cheng Yun fell right into a deep sleep and commenced to emit a rhythmic and regular respiration.

Yang Hongjin softly known as out, “Spouse,” however there was no response. He propped himself up barely, making an attempt to see Cheng Yun’s face.

When he confirmed that Cheng Yun was actually asleep, he fortunately leaned in and gave Cheng Yun a kiss on the lips. He kissed him a number of occasions till he was happy and let loose a contented sigh.

Together with his face in opposition to Cheng Yun’s face, he whispered in his ear, “Spouse, I actually such as you.”
