The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 391 Pain and Enjoyment

Chapter 391 Pain and Enjoyment

Hearing that Li Qin would bring back food he thought was delicious when he went to the countryside to buy things for Mingyu to try, Mingyu was very touched.

At this moment, Mingyu also began to look forward to what was inside the lunchbox.

It wasn't that she really wanted to eat; what Mingyu truly cared about was Li Qin's intentions.

Li Qin didn't keep them in suspense any longer after he finished speaking, and directly opened the two lunch boxes.

A spicy aroma immediately spread out.

After Li Huaide saw what was in the lunchbox, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

At the same time, he thought to himself:

"really!"

A look of confusion flashed across Mingyu's face.

The two lunchboxes were neatly filled with spicy rabbit heads.

Li Qin smiled and said to Mingyu:

"Auntie, this dish is called spicy rabbit head. It tastes really good. I brought some for Uncle Li to try last time, but you weren't home that day, so you didn't get to taste it."

I made extra this time, Auntie, you can have a good taste.

Li Qin had previously sent Li Huaide some spicy rabbit heads.

After tasting it, Li Huaide gave it extremely high praise.

He even expressed on several occasions his hope to eat spicy rabbit head again.

Unfortunately, although Li Qin verbally promised to find a way to get some, he never actually provided Li Huaide with any more.

Li Huaide always longed for this taste.

I never thought I'd be able to eat this again today.

A look of surprise immediately appeared on Li Huaide's face.

At this moment, Li Qin suddenly looked at Li Huaide with a strange gaze.

Last time, I sent Li Huaide some spicy rabbit heads, intending for him and Aunt Mingyu to try them.

However, Li Huaide later told Li Qin that Mingyu happened to be away from home that day, and due to the weather, the spicy rabbit heads wouldn't keep.

To prevent the spicy rabbit heads from spoiling and going to waste, Li Huaide ate them all himself.

Li Qin had some doubts about this matter.

He suspected that Li Huaide had actually eaten all the spicy rabbit heads because he was greedy, and that his aunt wasn't home or anything like that.

These are all just excuses used by the other party.

Li Huaide, who had been given a strange look by Li Qin, suddenly felt a pang of guilt for some reason.

Li Huaide subconsciously shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Seeing his performance, Li Qin became even more certain of his previous guess.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. Li Qin withdrew his gaze and looked at Aunt Mingyu again.

"Auntie, please try it and see how it tastes!"

As Li Qin spoke, he picked up a rabbit head and placed it on the plate in front of Mingyu.

Looking at the rabbit head on the plate, a hint of hesitation flashed in Mingyu's eyes.

It's not that she thinks rabbits are so cute that she shouldn't eat them.

Or rather, there wouldn't be any brain-dead people with such ideas in China during this period.

In this current period, many people can't even afford to eat their fill, let alone get meat.

In this situation, who cares whether the rabbit is cute or not?

Mingyu hesitated because the spicy rabbit head had a lot of chili peppers on it, plus the aroma of chili oil.

You can tell without even tasting it that it's definitely on the spicy side.

Mingyu usually eats spicy food, but only to a moderate degree.

She was a little worried that the spiciness would be too much for her.

However, when Mingyu saw the expectant look in Li Qin's eyes, she ultimately didn't refuse. Instead, she gritted her teeth and nodded, saying:

"Okay, then Auntie will try this rabbit head that you highly recommended."

After saying that, he began to attack the rabbit's head with chopsticks.

Mingyu has excellent manners, which can be seen from her eating habits;

Her movements were elegant and graceful.

Since it was her aunt's first time eating it, Li Qin began to explain in detail where to start eating and how to eat each different part.

Under Li Qin's guidance, Mingyu began to taste spicy rabbit head.

Seeing this, Li Huaide couldn't hold back any longer and picked up a rabbit head with his chopsticks.

Then he started showing off.

When Mingyu took her first bite, a strong spicy and numbing sensation rushed straight to her brain.

In addition, she doesn't eat spicy food very well, and sweat immediately started to seep from her forehead.

Spicy rabbit heads have a strange and alluring charm.

The first bite is spicy and numbing, but it's so addictive that you can't stop eating it.

Once you start eating, you don't want to stop.

Mingyu felt as if she had opened a completely new door to taste.

Li Huaide is the most direct example of this.

Now, Mingyu has also succumbed to the allure of spicy rabbit heads.

Li Qin smiled broadly upon seeing this.

He knew that few people could resist the allure of spicy rabbit heads.

People in this period, in particular, did not have as much material wealth as they do in later generations, and they did not experience much material enjoyment.

Seeing that the two were enjoying their meal, Li Qin also picked up a rabbit head for himself and started eating.

Although the food still tastes the same as before, I wonder if it's because some people ate with us.

Li Qin felt that the rabbit head he ate this time seemed even more delicious.

This is perhaps what they mean by food tasting better when shared.

Although Li Qin brought two large lunchboxes full of rabbit heads, there weren't actually that many because the rabbit heads themselves were quite large.

Since there were only three people eating it, it was all gone in a short time.

"Slurp! Slurp!"

While eating, Mingyu didn't feel much of a sensation, but after finishing, she suddenly felt as if her entire mouth was on fire.

But recalling the taste of the spicy rabbit head she had just eaten, she wanted to eat it again.

This conflicting feeling left her speechless for a moment.

Of course, at this moment, she felt as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

It wasn't until Mingyu drank two large glasses of water that the burning sensation in her mouth subsided slightly.

Mingyu wiped the sweat from her forehead before saying to Li Qin:

"Xiao Qin, this spicy rabbit head is indeed extraordinary."

At that moment, she didn't know how to describe the taste of the dish.

The most fitting word that comes to mind is "extraordinary".

Li Qin eats it often and is used to the spicy flavor of the rabbit head, so he behaved quite well.

At least their reactions weren't as obvious or as strong as Mingyu's and Li Huaide's.

"Auntie, this is your first time eating it, so it might feel a bit stimulating. But you'll get used to it after a couple more times, and then it'll be fine."

Li Qin smiled and glanced at Aunt Mingyu.

He then glanced at Li Huaide.

Just like Li Huaide, his reaction at this moment was much smaller than that of Aunt Mingyu.

This was Li Huaide's second time eating it, so he was gradually starting to accept the stimulation.

Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Mingyu subconsciously recalled the taste in her mouth, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Li Qin's lips curled up slightly.

But at that moment, Mingyu seemed to have thought of something and immediately spoke:

"Xiao Qin, don't push yourself too hard. If making this dish is too difficult, then don't do it. Don't make yourself suffer for a little food."

Mingyu had no idea how Li Qin got the spicy rabbit head.

However, thinking about it, it will definitely require some effort, or at least some price.

She didn't want Li Qin to force himself.
