Chapter 266 Roasted Sweet Potato God
Li Chengwen looked embarrassed, laughed dryly, wrapped himself in a military overcoat and went to tidy up the wing room.
Chen Zhenke was teased so beautifully, she folded her hands together and said to the old abbot: "It seems that only the abbot can subdue this monkey."
"No, no, it wasn't me who subdued him, it was you!"
The old abbot smiled and left after saying this meaningful sentence.
Chen Zhenke was stunned on the spot, until a gust of mountain wind blew over, then she shivered and followed Li Chengwen to clean up.
There were a lot of people going up the mountain to watch the meteor shower today. Two people were only allocated a wing. Fortunately, the wing was quite spacious and could accommodate two beds.
Li Chengwen found some firewood and lit the stove in the side room, and the room became warmer.
"Do you know the benefits of the military coat now?" Li Chengwen laughed as he watched Chen Zhenke shivering in the military coat.
Chen Zhenke snorted coldly, and moved closer to the stove.
"If only there were roasted sweet potatoes to eat!" She stared at the dancing flames in awe.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Li Chengwen smiled and went out for a walk wrapped in a military overcoat.
Seeing the back of Li Chengwen leaving, Chen Zhenke couldn't stop laughing.
It was getting late, and Li Chengwen found the kitchen of Shangbansi in the dark. After searching for a long time, he finally found two raw sweet potatoes with dirt on them.
"Abbot, I can borrow your sweet potatoes!" He called out, but came back with two sweet potatoes without receiving a reply.
At dinner time, a large group of people were eating in the temple. The old abbot was so busy that he didn't even hear Li Chengwen say hello to him and say he had brought two sweet potatoes.
Li Chengwen and Chen Zhenke also carried bowls, filled a bowl of vegetarian food each, and ate it reluctantly.
The temperature on the mountain dropped very quickly, much colder than that at the bottom, and most people were wrapped in military coats.
After dinner, there was still an hour before the Geminid meteor shower was observed, and the two returned to the room together.
Li Chengwen stirred the flame and put two sweet potatoes in the stove.
This kind of old-fashioned stove happens to be used to roast sweet potatoes. Although it is not as clean as the ones sold on the street, and the skin is blackened by smoke, but with the blessing of Li Chengwen's rich experience in roasting sweet potatoes, two sweet potatoes that are hot to the touch can still be roasted smoothly.
Li Chengwen found two pieces of paper, wrapped the roasted sweet potatoes, and handed them to Chen Zhenke.
"Be careful of the heat."
Chen Zhenke had been watching Li Chengwen's movements silently, and his mouth was almost drooling when he saw the last one.
She really didn't expect Li Chengwen to have such a talent. It is also a blessing to eat such a delicious and hot roasted sweet potato in the cloud-covered Shangban Temple.
After peeling off the scorched and hot skin, the golden sweet potatoes exude a charming heat, making this small room full of warmth.
Chen Zhenke took a few breaths, bit off a small piece of sweet potato, and savored it carefully.
"It's delicious!" She looked at Li Chengwen with eyes full of happiness.
Li Chengwen did not eat first, but continued to fiddle with the flames to keep the stove burning slowly.
The dim oil lamp shone on Chen Zhenke. From Li Chengwen's perspective, there were two dancing flames in Chen Zhenke's eyes.
"I, Li Chengwen, dare not say anything else. The skill of roasting sweet potatoes is number one in the world!"
Li Chengwen laughed, smelled the sweet potato in his hand, peeled off the skin and ate it.
The highest state of roasted sweet potatoes is to bake a thicker layer of skin inside after peeling off the outer skin.
Knowledgeable people know that this layer of skin is the sweetest part of the whole sweet potato.
"It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Even if you go bankrupt in the future, you can still push a cart and sell roasted sweet potatoes on the street!" Chen Zhenke joked with a smile.
In the past, when Chen Zhenke faced Li Chengwen, he had to think carefully about every sentence he said.
But now Chen Zhenke is completely thinking of what to say, so there is such an unlucky joke.
"Okay! I hope that Lawyer Chen will come and patronize the stall more often!" Li Chengwen replied while eating a hot sweet potato.
After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, I happened to hear someone shouting outside: "The meteor shower is coming!"
Li Chengwen and Chen Zhenke looked at each other, got up and walked out.
Standing in the yard, Chen Zhenke watched Li Chengwen eat a mouth full of black ashes under the moonlight, couldn't help laughing, and wiped him with a tissue with a smile.
Unprepared for Chen Zhenke's trick, Li Chengwen froze in place, motionless.
The old abbot came out from nowhere, and said to the two, "You two benefactors, why don't you go to see the meteor shower?"
"I'm going!" Li Chengwen came back to his senses, took the tissue from Chen Zhenke's hand, and wiped it carelessly by himself.
"It's late, the good seats have been taken by others..." The old abbot smiled and shook his head.
When Li Chengwen heard that the old abbot was playing games again, he knew that he intended to help him, so he said with a smile: "The old abbot, don't be a fool!"
The old abbot stretched out his hand and pointed to a path in the corner, smiling without saying a word.
Chen Zhenke took a look and saw that it was the remote path leading to the observatory in the background when he came last time.
"Let's go!"
She stretched out her hand to hold Li Chengwen, and rushed towards the path.
The two of them walked on the mountain road with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and after a while, their eyes suddenly opened up, and they came to the observatory.
Li Chengwen wrapped his cotton coat tightly and came to the star observatory.
There are thousands of miles of clouds under the feet, the vast starry sky above the head, and the beautiful woman in pink around her, as if she is about to become a fairy.
One or two scattered meteors began to appear in the sky, and a group of people gathered in the distance and exclaimed.
Li Chengwen turned to look at Chen Zhenke, who was looking up at the vast night sky with her head raised.
The starlight shining on her face made Chen Zhenke look holy, like a saint who came out of a myth.
Li Chengwen couldn't bear to break the tranquility of this moment, so he quietly stared at Chen Zhenke's profile.
You are watching the meteor shower at the observatory, and the people watching the meteor shower are watching you beside you.
Compared with the meteor shower that occurs once a year, Chen Zhenke is more touching.
Chen Zhenke had long noticed that Li Chengwen was looking at him and pretended not to know. After a while, he still maintained his original posture and whispered: "Why are you peeking at me?"
In my impression, Chen Zhenke seemed to have asked herself this question, and Li Chengwen handed her the answer intact.
"I didn't take a peek, I call it an aboveboard look!"
The corners of Chen Zhenke's mouth slightly raised, not daring to look into Li Chengwen's eyes.
The meteor shower lasted for a long time. By midnight, Chen Zhenke's eyelids were so sleepy that he didn't want to open them no matter how hard he tried.
During this period of time, Chen Zhenke seemed to be suspended from work, doing nothing all day long and very leisurely, but in fact she was under a lot of pressure and was not at all relaxed.
"Let's go back!" Li Chengwen suggested upon seeing this.
"Okay!" Chen Zhenke wished Li Chengwen could say that, and walked back first.
After returning to the wing room, Chen Zhenke discovered another very important problem that she hadn't realized before. She was going to sleep in the same room with Li Chengwen tonight.
