Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 59 Heading South (Please read it!!)
  Linjiang crossing?
  Lu Chenran took out the "Northern Territory Chronicle" from his arms. After searching for a while, he found this ferry marked next to the Cangjiang River, just downstream of Beijiang County:

"Shall we cross from here to Linjiang, which is six hundred miles southeast?"

"It should be here."

"Old sir, what's so special about this place?"

"It will be foggy when crossing the river, and a mirage may appear in the fog. According to rumors, the mirage can travel on ice at an extremely fast speed, and can travel five thousand miles a day. But so does the old man. Just hear it.”

At this moment, the old village chief came to Lu Chenran with a red face and said respectfully:
  "On behalf of all the villagers in Taohua Village, the little old man would like to thank Mr. Lu for his kindness, and also invite Mr. Lu to stay in Taohua Village for a few more days, so that we can entertain him well!"

"."

Lu Chenran bowed his hands and thanked the old peach tree, then looked at the old village chief and said with a smile:
  "There's no need to stay a few more days. If Lu still has anything else, just give me some food tonight. I'm really hungry."

"That's natural hahaha. Mr. Lu, please come with me."

After saying goodbye to the old peach tree, Lu Chenran followed the village chief and walked towards Peach Blossom Village.

There was a lot of bustle in the village. A group of villagers had set up many tables outside. On a stove made of mud, there was a large iron pot, steaming upwards.

The villagers were chatting and waiting for the banquet. A dozen village women were busy around the chopping board, washing, stewing and chopping vegetables.

Xiao An sniffed and his eyes widened:

"Mr. Da, it smells so good? What is that tied up?"

Lu Chenran looked towards the village and saw a fat pig with all four hooves tied up with hemp rope.

Then a long-lost smile appeared on his cheeks, and the glutton in his stomach was aroused, and he sighed:

"This is going to kill the pig."

"Why kill a pig?"

"Of course I eat meat."

"Oh."

The old village chief smiled mysteriously at Lu Chenran, and then said with some complacency:

"Mr. Lu, I'm afraid you've never tasted Jing. The taste of Jing is extraordinary. It's rare to find authentic Jing in the county."

"Use a sharp knife to sac the pig's neck, use an iron basin to fill it with the pig's blood, wash the casings, pour the whole basin into it, make it into blood sausage, stew it in a pot with the pig meat and cabbage, tsk tsk tsk, then Taste——"

"."

Lu Chenran looked at the butcher who was sharpening his knife, with a bit of expectation in his eyes and thinking silently in his heart.

‘Sauerkraut stewed with pork? That was really nostalgic enough. ’

For people living in the northeastern region of Blue Star, no matter where they are, all they miss is a bowl of sauerkraut.

Compared with the sauerkraut in the south, the sauerkraut in the north has a unique taste. If we analyze it solely from the perspective of food culture, then sauerkraut is the essence of the food culture in the Northeast. It is the "pig-killing vegetable" with the style of the Northeast. Without sauerkraut, any delicacy in the world will be eclipsed.

Braised pork ribs with pickled cabbage, braised vermicelli with pickled cabbage and pork, and braised fish with pickled cabbage.
  Sauerkraut can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Zhou Li" records that sauerkraut is also called "Jing", and "the beans given as food are actually Kui Jing", which is an expression about sauerkraut.

In "Northern Territory Chronicles", the explanation of "Jing" is more thorough, "Jing" means resistance. If it is brewed raw, it will be hindered by the cold and warm temperatures and will not rot.'

Lu Chenran hugged Xiao An, and Xue Hu lay on his shoulders, silently looking at the bustling and busy Taohua Village.

The moonlight hangs high, illuminating the fireworks in this world.

In the boiling hot oil, there was fried 'oil-rich', and the aroma dispersed with the wind, which immediately made everyone's index fingers twitch.

"Mr. Lu, the meal is ready, let's have dinner!"

Lu Chenran touched Xiao An's head and said gently:

"Let's go and eat."

The strong aroma of pig-killing vegetables surrounds the village, clusters of sparks crackle under the earthen stove, and pork is rolled in the iron pot, accompanied by heavy snowfall.

The laughter on the table resounded throughout the whole sky. They drank wine and drank wine. After a while, everyone was in a state of high spirits.

After drinking several times, my mind is as smooth as the sea.

Perhaps, this is the happiest time in the hearts of all northerners.

That is the purest smile and the simplest character of the villagers here.

No matter Blue Star, or here.

Perhaps in this world, we can better appreciate the preciousness of the era when Blue Star has gradually disappeared.

In the early morning, there was a slight mist.

The morning bird sang softly on the pine branches, and when it jumped and spread its wings, it was startled by the falling snowflakes.

Lu Chenran yawned and stretched out his arm from the bed. A gust of cold wind blew by, making him shiver immediately and he quickly stretched his whole arm into the quilt.

This was the most comfortable night's sleep he had had since leaving Jiamu County. The heated kang head was still very comfortable even though it was now cold.

Xue Hu curled up in his arms and slept soundly. Xiao An was sleeping on the left side, as if in a dream. She still had her mouth curled up, obviously dreaming about something. Qing Gourd's belly was filled with wine, and she was shaking. He stood dazedly on the bed, yawning. The title page of a golden book slowly floated in Lu Chenran’s mind:

[Becoming acquainted with the peach fairy peach: (2/4)]

【Befriending Moth Wings: (9/50)】

[Being connected with the pine branches in the north: (6/100)]

[Becoming acquainted with the drunken gourd: (2/365)]

[Befriending Sword Water Dragon Yin: (20/365)]

[Befriending the Northern Snow Fox: (3030/3300)]

【.】

As if seeing Lu Chenran wake up, Qing Gourd jumped towards him and said:

"Lu, please hurry up! I don't want to hang on you."

"Then are you obedient?"

"I, I, I, naturally obey."

"Well, then be obedient and stay the same."

Green Gourd: "."

Resisting the desire to fall asleep, Lu Chenran got up and put on his clothes, stepped on the green gourd, tied Shuilongyin around his waist, picked up Xiao An, packed his luggage, and walked out of the room.

"Mr. Lu is leaving now? But you don't like the young man's poor hospitality?"

Village Chief Huang was feeding the chickens. Seeing that Lu Chenran was fully dressed, he hurriedly came over to greet him.

"What are you saying, village chief? Last night's meal was actually the best meal Lu has ever had. In fact, Lu really wants to stay a little longer, but the journey to Beijing is far away and Lu is in a hurry, so it's really inconvenient to stay longer."

Village Chief Huang sighed, then took a lot of dry food from the house, and handed over some broken silver:

"Mr. Lu introduced a new spring to Taohua Village, which is really a great favor to Taohua Village. It is unreasonable to only give some dry food. I have prepared some money to provide you with money. I hope you will not refuse."

Lu Chenran took the dry food calmly, but returned the handful of broken silver:
  "Lu Mou appreciates the kindness of the village chief, but Lu Mou cannot accept this money."

"Please ask the village chief to take it back."

He had already harvested something from the mountain, and it was just a casual way to draw the new spring. There was no need to give him a generous gift, but he would feel guilty if he accepted it.

Village Chief Huang looked at Mr. Lu with a complex expression and was filled with emotion.

Is this a wise immortal? Sure enough, ordinary people can understand it.

Seeing that Mr. Lu refused, it was difficult to force him, so he had to personally deliver him to the entrance of the village:
  "Where are you going, Mr. Lu?"

"Go to Linjiang Crossing."

"That's a few hundred miles away. Mr. Lu, you can go south along this mountain road and you'll see the official road of Beijiang County."

"Thank you, village chief."

"No, Mr. Lu is too polite."

"Village Chief, let's say goodbye then,"

"Mr. Lu, walk slowly."

Village Chief Huang bowed deeply to Lu Chenran, feeling mixed in his heart.

This is a farewell that is rare in this life, right?
  Perhaps, this is what Xianfan is like.

"Hooho-"

Outside Taohua Village, Hushan God shook off the snow on his body and trotted towards Lu Chenran.

It had been outside the village all day.

Lu Chenran smiled and touched Hushan God's head:

"Tiger, let's go to Linjiang Crossing."

"Roar--"

"Hey—"

"Mr. Big, let's go!"

"The man named Lu, please let me out, okay? Why is there a big cat here?"

"."
