The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 149 Eat Mapo's Tofu
South of the Wei River and east of Xiqi, there is a small town called Meiyi.

The distance between here and Xiqi is only tens of miles. Fortunately, there are many soldiers and generals in Xiqi city, and there are supporters from Chanjiao disciples, so the battlefield has been maintained in Xiqi city, and the flames of war have not been burned here.

But after all, it is during the war period, it is impossible to be completely unaffected.

Because of the frequent wars in these years, many young men in the city were conscripted into the army.

Although it is rumored that Xiqi City has won many victories, it has already won many battles.

However, there have also been many casualties over the years, and many families hold funerals every year.

If the family has a large population, it’s okay to say, like those with fewer males, they immediately lost the backbone of the family, leaving only orphans and widows crying at home, and they don’t know how to make a living in the future.

Even the large tracts of farmland outside the city appear desolate because there are no young and strong laborers to manage it.

But because of the war, the grain and grass collected by the government increased instead of decreased.

Even though Xiqi is relatively wealthy, many unbearable things have happened to the people over the years.

At noon, there are not many pedestrians on the roads in the city, and most of them are old and young women and children. Although there are young and strong men, there are fewer people.

Qi Yuan walked slowly on the street, thinking about something.

He Ling'er tugged at his sleeves and followed beside him, looking around all the way, looking around curiously.

After they came to Xiqi, they found that they had come early.

Xin Huan said that Zhang Shan led an army to conquer Xiqi, and Qi Yuan thought the war had already begun.

As a result, I came to look in a hurry, and found that there was not a single hair.

Their [-] troops are still walking on the road.

Since the person has not arrived yet, Qi Yuan is no longer impatient.

However, he didn't want to go to Xiqi City, so he wandered around, came to this small town, found a guest house, and planned to stay for a while.

Only after Yin Jiao came, could he find out who the wick of the coffin had transformed.

For this operation, he made sufficient preparations.

He even borrowed Zhao Gongming's Dragon Binding Cable.

Of course, he didn't say it clearly, he just said that he planned to go out hunting to use it, because he often went out, maybe he had to deal with some monsters, so Zhao Gongming gave him the dragon-binding rope directly.

This is the magic weapon that Zhao Gongming has sacrificed for many years, and it is not inferior to the rope that binds immortals for fear of leaving behind grandchildren.

In fact, this kind of binding magic weapon is not rare in the practice world, even the Huntian Ling on Nezha can be regarded as this type of magic weapon strictly speaking.

It's just that it is relatively rare to be able to bind Jinxian like this.

The earthen pot that Master Uncle Gao Yan used to hold the seven-colored spirit fish was also a magic weapon. He left in a hurry and didn't take it away, so Qi Yuan happened to borrow it.

Since the wick is an elf born in the fire, it must be proficient in the fire escape technique, but it is a pity that it has not been born with wisdom, and it has not been transformed for a few years. After leaving the coffin lamp, it has no strength to speak of, otherwise it will not He would be easily captured by Xiqi.

Qi Yuan planned to trap it with this crock full of water after he captured it, so he was not afraid that it could escape.

While thinking about whether there were any omissions in his heart, he walked back.

The reason why she chose to live in the city this time is also because she wanted to take He Ling'er to walk around the world more and let her see more scenes in the world of mortals, which would be good for her future practice.

Just when he returned to the door of the guest house and was about to go in, he suddenly heard a roar from not far away: "You scoundrels, how dare you eat my old lady's tofu for nothing?"

"Ok?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look.

I saw a few young men coming out of a small shop next to the guest house, all of them with their shirts half uncovered, looking sloppy, obviously not a good idea.

Then a middle-aged woman chased out from the store, holding a fire stick in her hand, followed by a little boy with a runny nose.

"Puppy Mouse, you don't do it once or twice, you don't give money every time you come, do you really think my wife's tofu is free?"

Qi Yuan originally heard that someone was eating tofu for free, and thought it was taking advantage of this woman, but after he saw the woman's face clearly, he couldn't catch his breath, and almost lost his breath.

I saw that this woman was tall and burly, not much different from the men opposite her, she was quite tough, and her face was covered with pockmarks.

Qi Yuanxin said that it must have a strong taste to be able to hit her.

"You mother-in-law, didn't I tell you that I have no money for a while, and I will give you the money when I have money in the future."

The leader, a man with some weird ornaments on his body, cursed.

"Pooh."

With one hand on her hip, the woman pointed at the fire stick, and said: "My old lady grinds tofu every day, it's not easy to make a living.

In the past, it was fine if you didn’t pay for dinner, but now my mother-in-law is seriously ill and urgently needs money for medicine, so I quickly paid the money. "

Qi Yuan's face was a little hot, it turned out that he was thinking wrongly.

That's right, people in this era probably still can't understand another meaning of eating tofu.

It seems that the three volumes of recipes I left behind have played some role.

Although it is still difficult for ordinary people to eat exquisite food at this stage, relatively simple things like tofu and bean sprouts are still widely spread, otherwise this woman would not know how to make tofu.

A poppi scolded impatiently: "The man thinks highly of you when you come to eat here, and you don't go out to inquire. When did our brothers pay for the meal?"

"You really don't give it?"

"Humph."

Poppi snorted twice in disdain, turned around and was about to leave.

They don't think this Madam can do anything to them.

The city of Meiyi is not big, and they also know the details of this old lady.

The man in her family was conscripted into the army last year, and it turned out to be unlucky. He lost his life on the battlefield for the first time. The in-laws in the family are old and the children are young, so they can't do much. They big men are still afraid of her?

"Don't go!"

The woman was impatient, and she was about to stop them.

However, although she was not weak in strength, she was no match for several young men who were directly pushed to the ground by a rogue.

"Don't hit my mother!"

The little boy rushed up and bit the rogue's arm.

"His..."

Poppy gasped in pain, grinned, broke free his arm, and kicked the little boy hard.

"Damn you, you still dare to bite me, you don't want to live anymore, do you?"

The woman was furious: "You dare to beat my son, I will fight you."

As he said that, he got up, waved the fire stick in his hand, and hit him head-on and face-to-face.

Seeing that these rogues were about to fight back, suddenly one of them didn't know what was going on, staggered and tripped the other three.

Then when they were hit by a woman, they felt so painful for some reason, and when they wanted to get up, they were always unable to get up because of some inexplicable movements of their companions.

But Qi Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly helped the woman.

Otherwise, as a woman, she will definitely suffer.

Several people screamed in pain after being beaten, and couldn't bear it any longer. The leading man directly took out a money bag and threw it at the woman.

"Here you are, don't call again."

Qi Yuan watched the rogues go away, and then looked back at the small shop.

After pondering for a while, he said to He Ling'er: "Come on, let's go and try this Mapo's tofu too."
