Chapter 21 High Fever
The little black dog probably felt the warmth in the room, and started to have fun in Ye Anyian's arms.
Jiang Zhu put on a clean coat and waited until the chill on his body dissipated before approaching Ye Anian and reaching out to touch the puppy's head.
"Maybe it's hungry. I'll go see if there's anything edible for it at home."
Seeing him turn around and go to the main room outside, Ye Annian followed him and stood at the door of the east room and said, "Have you eaten yet? There is leftover bacon stew rice in the pot at noon. I have been keeping it in it to warm it. You Eat some."
Jiang Zhu was rummaging through the chest of drawers for food for the puppy. Hearing this, he stopped, looked at Ye Anian and said, "Okay, I'm just in time to try your handiwork."
Ye Anyian:...
"It doesn't count as something I did."
Jiang Zhu had put the rice and bacon in the pot in advance, and Jiang Zhu had also prepared the sauce. He just added some side dishes, lit a fire, and simmered the rice until it was done.
"Forget it." Jiang Zhu took a bowl to put rice in the pot and said, "It's all you who put the side dishes and cooked the rice. Whether the stewed rice is delicious in the end, the side dishes and the heat are very important. of."
After filling a full bowl of bacon stewed rice, Jiang Zhu didn't even put a table in the main room, but brought it in directly and put it on the Kang table to eat.
Ye Annian sat across from him holding the puppy: "How does it taste?"
"Not bad." Jiang Zhu took a spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth. He raised his head and smiled at Ye Annian. "It's delicious with corn kernels. It's very sweet."
"It can improve the taste." Ye Anyian pursed his lips. In modern times, he would also cook his own stewed rice. In addition to bacon and ham, my favorite side dishes are corn kernels and peas, which taste delicious.
"Well, I'll add some next time I make it," Jiang Zhu said.
The stewed rice that had been left in the pot to warm all afternoon actually tasted far less delicious than the freshly cooked rice. The rice grains became soft and salty as the sauce soaked into it, and the rice crispy rice was no longer crispy.
But for some reason, Jiang Zhu just thought it tasted better than what he made himself. Even if he wasn't hungry at all, he could still eat a big bowl.
Perhaps smelling the aroma of rice, the little black dog in Ye Anian's arms sniffed it with its little nose, swaying its short legs and trying to climb onto the Kang table.
Ye Anian blocked it with one hand and said in a serious and serious tone: "No, you can't put it on the table."
The little black dog whined anxiously and pawed wildly.
"It seems that he also likes the food you cooked." Jiang Zhu teased him, "You hold it for a while longer, and I'll get it food."
He finished the rice in the bowl, got up, cleared the dishes, and got some food for the puppy.
Ye Anian was playing on the kang with the little black dog in his arms. After a while, Jiang Zhu came in with a small bowl of hot and fragrant paste.
"There's nothing for it to eat at home, so I boiled some batter and added some crushed mung bean cakes to it."
The paste exuded a sweet smell. As soon as Ye Anian let go of the little black dog, he rushed out of his arms, jumped from the kang to the ground, and rolled before he could stand still.
Ye Annian looked at the little black dog that ate like a pig, his cold eyes curled up with a faint smile.
The candlelight flickered, reflecting Ye Annian's side face. The light red pregnancy mole at the end of his eye looked even more delicate at this moment, making his cold eyes a little more gentle and gentle.
Jiang Zhu's heart palpitated when he saw it, and he stretched out his hand towards Ye Anian, but she just twirled the broken hair hanging on the side of his face and helped him put it behind his ears.
"Just watch it, I'll make some medicine for you and prepare acupuncture. It's raining today and it's cold outside, so don't go to the medicine house," he said.
Ye Anyian looked away and answered him: "Okay."
The curtain on the east room door moved and Jiang Zhu went out.
Ye Anyian sat on the kang and watched the little black dog eat all the paste in the bowl. He found a soft cloth to wipe its mouth and then carried it to the kang again.
There was a fire on the stove outside, and there was still heat on the kang. Ye Anian was wrapped in a quilt, sitting against the kang with the little black dog in his arms, and fell asleep unconsciously.
When he woke up again, it was already an hour later.
Jiang Zhu had already changed the medicine for Fu Zai's feet, replaced the white silk that tied Ding Qiu's eyes, and fed him to finish the medicine.
Seeing Ye Anyian wake up, he handed over a warm handkerchief: "Wipe your face."
Ye Annian moved his hands hidden under the quilt and found that the puppy was no longer there. Looking around, there seemed to be no one either.
Realizing that he was looking for the dog, Jiang Zhu raised his hand and pointed to the foot of the kang: "It's over there."
Ye Annian saw a dark ball curled up under the Kang table where the Kang feet were placed.
Yes, it's summer now. Even if it rains at night, it won't be too cold. Besides, the puppy is covered in fur, so it won't be hot.
But why did he still feel cold even though he was wrapped in a quilt?
He wiped his face with a handkerchief and took a sip of the Dingchuan soup that Jiang Zhu had cooked for him. The sour and bitter taste immediately hit his throat.
"Ahem..." Ye Anyian couldn't help coughing twice.
Jiang Zhu took the empty medicine bowl and put it aside, then stuffed a candied fruit into Ye Anyian's mouth.
He spread out the needle bag and took out the soft cotton cloth for hot compress from the medicine bowl. When he looked up, he saw Ye Anyian's cheeks were red and his eyes were a little dull.
He frowned, put down the things in his hands, sat sideways on the edge of the kang, and leaned towards Ye Anyian.
Ye Anyian slept very poorly this night, and when he woke up, his head was still heavy and a little painful. After drinking the medicine, he was about to squint for a while, but Jiang Zhu came over unexpectedly.
He was startled for a moment when he saw Jiang Zhu brushing away the broken hair on the side of his face with one hand, leaning over and gently touching his forehead with his forehead.
"It's so hot." Jiang Zhu moved away at the touch, then changed his hand to test the temperature of Ye Anyian's forehead, and it was still hot.
"I'm afraid I have a high fever." He said.
Ye Anyian was completely sobered by his words and was speechless to himself.
I obviously didn't feel cold when I was sitting in the main room in the afternoon, and my throat wasn't uncomfortable either, but whenever something happened, I didn't expect to fall ill.
He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I've caused you trouble again."
"It's not troublesome." Jiang Zhu soaked a cold handkerchief and applied it on his forehead. "Anyway, I am a doctor. I have all the medicines at home. This kind of minor illness is not difficult to treat."
"It's you, you are the one who feels uncomfortable when you are sick."
Ye Anyian:...
He stared at Jiang Zhu in trance, but someone grabbed him and pinned him down on his lap.
The soft cotton soaked in medicinal juice was applied to his ears. It was warm, and Jiang Zhu wrapped the quilt tighter around him.
"If you have a high fever, you need to cover it up and sweat to reduce the fever. I will make some medicine for you after the acupuncture."
"Yeah." Ye Anyian huddled under the quilt, his head still feeling groggy.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Jiang Zhu asked again.
Ye Annian sniffed and said with a thick nasal voice: "I have a headache, I'm a little dizzy, and I don't have much strength."
"Haha..." Jiang Zhu suddenly laughed softly, stretched out his hand and pinched his face, "Let's see if you dare to be greedy next time."
Ye Anyian:...
This man is gloating!
You're still making fun of yourself!
Woohoo...
But he felt really uncomfortable, it felt like the seams in his burned bones were hurting...
