Alchemy master in the city

Chapter 255 The Taste of the Year in the Mountain

The people from Pangzhai had just left when Li Bold and a group of people came down with kitchen knives, spatulas and other things in a turbulent manner.

"Where are people?" Li Boldly asked viciously, holding a pork-cutting knife.

"Wait for you to come, he already ran away!" Li Huan gave Li Bold an angry look, and then said to the people who ran down, "Everyone, let's go, it's okay! Let's go..."

"Is it all right?"

Facing the inquiries from the village, Li Chunzhi came out and waved his hands and shouted: "It's all right, everyone leave!"

"I have something to say, there is still meat stewing in my house, so I will go first... Well, if you are free, would you come to my house to eat meat at noon? I heard that you brought a beautiful daughter-in-law back Already?" Third Aunt turned around and greeted Li Huan with a smile.

Li Huan smiled and said: "Then I won't go, I promised to eat at Mrs. Chun Zhi's house yesterday, and I have to go to the mountains later for business!"

"That will be..." The third aunt didn't force her, and she quickly fled away.

Among the people who came, there were people with good deeds who surrounded Li Ergouzi asking questions. Lvdan and others supported Changshou and headed towards his house. Then Li Huan kicked Li Ergouzi angrily. Cursed: "It's useless to fight, but a bragging pen is a good hand! Stop nagging, go home, it's shameful to be around here!"

"Okay...success! I'll go back now!" Li Ergouzi smiled, and then said, "Remember to call me when you enter the mountain in the afternoon, I will go with Brother Huan!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Huan directly refused, "No need, I have someone to accompany me, so bringing you is like a light bulb!"

"What? How did I become a light bulb?" Li Er Gouzi muttered in confusion.

"You don't understand even after talking about it, get out!" Li Huan said with a grumpy smile.

Li Er Gouzi chuckled, and then greeted Widow Li again, and then shouted at everyone and left together, still muttering endlessly along the way.

After everyone had dispersed, Mrs. Chun Zhi walked up to Li Huan and sighed, "Huan son! I'm bothering you again! Sigh... my sister-in-law doesn't know what to say to you. There's nothing to look at..."

"Sister-in-law, don't say that!" Li Huan said a little unhappy, "I was so naughty when I was a child, but sister-in-law, you protected me, otherwise how would I be today? Isn't your family's affairs the same as my own? Yes, saying thank you will make you angry!"

"Yeah!" Nini said with a silly smile, "Anyway, I'm going to marry Brother Huan in the future, so it's nothing!"

"Snapped!"

Li Chunzhi slammed Nini on the head with a thump and said angrily: "Damn girl, don't you know how to be shy? You dare to say this, be careful when others point at your face and scold you, you don't know how to be ashamed..."

Nini made a face to avoid it, and then shouted from a distance: "Anyway, I don't care, brother Huan is the one I want to marry in the future, otherwise I won't marry anyone!"

Li Chunzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and smiled helplessly at Li Huan: "This damn child, the bigger it gets, the harder it is to manage! Huan, don't worry about it!"

"It's okay!" Li Huan grinned and said, "Sister-in-law, did you make breakfast? I'm still hungry."

"Oh! Look at my memory..." Li Chunzhi hurriedly ran to the kitchen inside the house, and said in a hurry, "Go and call them down, I cooked a pot of noodles with some mushrooms I picked in summer, It also adds fresh meat, which is guaranteed not to be eaten outside, but it is delicious!"

"Then I'll go up and call someone!"

Li Huan responded, put the bear meat on the chopping board in the kitchen, and then ran towards the mountain.

"Why did you go? What happened to the noise down the mountain?"

As soon as they went up the mountain, Mu Wanqiu came up to ask curiously, while Luo Shuyu and Lan Shushu rubbed their bellies with sad faces, expressing their hunger with resentful eyes!
"It was supposed to share the bear meat, but just now a group of people from Pangzhai came to make trouble. I beat up those idiots, and then came up quickly. Are you all hungry?"

"Then you don't need to ask..." Mu Wanqiu muttered, "It's so late and there's nothing to eat, and your pot is so dirty, the three of us have washed it eight times and it's still black with rust. , I don’t know how many years I haven’t used it!”

Li Huan sighed embarrassingly: "Actually, I didn't live here before. I always lived with the old man. I'll take you there after breakfast. But now we'll go to Mrs. Chun Zhi's house for breakfast. I'm sure it will be fine." Eat, it’s noodles boiled with mushrooms!”

"Mushrooms?" Lan Shushu asked curiously, "Are they picked from the mountains?"

"Yes."

"I heard that there are a lot of poisonous mushrooms on the mountain. Is there any mistaken mushroom mixed in? What if I eat it and get sick?" Lan Shushu murmured.

"How is it possible?" Li Huan said angrily, "Have you forgotten that I am a miracle doctor? Besides... the people in Lijiazhai have been relying on mountains for generations to eat mountains. I have never heard of such a thing happening." Yes, don't worry, it won't spoil your stomach."

"Uh..." Luo Shuyu on the side kindly reminded, "Actually, what Xiao Shu means is that the bathroom here is still a bit... weird."

Li Huan suddenly realized, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's like this in the mountains, you can make do with it for a few days, anyway, nothing will happen!"

"Then what about taking a shower?" Luo Shuyu then asked.

Li Huan smiled mysteriously at the three of them, and then said in a low voice: "I will tell you a secret. I know that there is a natural hot spring in the mountain. After eating, I will take you into the mountain. You will be able to see it when the time comes. I promise you will find it in the hot spring." You'll be amazed there!"

"Huh? Is there really such a good place?" Lan Shushu suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"Have I ever told a lie?" Li Huan asked resolutely.

"Okay, I'll trust you for now! If it's not as good as you said, I won't be happy!" Lan Shushu laughed.

Talking and laughing, the three of them walked down the mountain road all the way, and at this time, almost half of the people in the village knew that Li Huan brought a few beautiful peerless beauties into the mountain, so basically all the houses along the way opened their doors. The door looked at Luo Shuyu, Mu Wanqiu and Lan Shushu as if they were watching a play.

Of course the three women were very embarrassed, especially Mu Wanqiu, she whispered beside Li Huan with a thin face: "What's the matter, why are you all staring at us? We seem to be strange animals like monkeys, and Still whispering and discussing!"

"Of course!" Li Huan proudly took Mu Wanqiu's hand and flaunted, "They are envious and jealous, you know? You are so beautiful, you are like a fairy from the sky, it's no wonder they don't peep !"

"Bad guy... Did you bring us back just to show off?" Mu Wanqiu said angrily.

Li Huan laughed and said, "Of course I have this idea, but in fact, if you have a wife, you have to take it home to have a look. This is a tradition in the mountains."

Although Li Huan explained this way, Mu Wanqiu pinched Li Huan's arm in embarrassment.

It took about 10 minutes to go down the mountain to arrive at Mrs. Chunzhi’s house. Several bowls of noodles were already set on the table. As soon as Nini saw Li Huan, Luo Shuyu, Mu Wanqiu and Lan Shushu coming over, she immediately used the same attitude as yesterday and was affectionate. He ran over and called the three of them sweetly, sister.

Li Huan introduced the name again, and then said to Nini playfully: "Nini, it's wrong to call you sister, you have to call sister-in-law! This is Shuyu's sister-in-law, this is Xiaoshu's sister-in-law, this is you Wanqiu sister in law……"

"Cut!" Nini grimaced and smiled, not buying it, "I just like to call my sister, who wants to call me like you call my mother?"

"Damn girl, are you talking back to adults again?"

Li Chunzhi came out of the kitchen wearing a scarf, and came over with a bowl of chives and chili foam mixed with soy sauce, and smiled at the few people: "Don't mess around with this girl, she is getting harder and harder to discipline." Come on, eat your noodles and see if it’s delicious, there’s still some in the pot!”

"Sister-in-law sit down and eat together..." Mu Wanqiu shouted with a sweet smile.

Li Chunzhi nodded with a chuckle, and while untiing the scarf, he sat next to Mu Wanqiu and took a bowl of noodles, then greeted him and began to eat.

Mushrooms are very precious and fresh ingredients even in the mountains, and Mrs. Chun Zhi’s family has only two people, so there are not many mushrooms collected during the rainy season every year, and a small part of them will be fried when they are fresh. They can be eaten with rice or boiled noodles, and the other half will be dehydrated and hidden by the local method in the mountains, and will be taken out as a fresh dish during the Chinese New Year in winter.

Today is the Chinese New Year, and the noodles are naturally very refreshing and delicious. Several people have been admiring them, especially the underside of leeks is very appetizing. She couldn't help but eat a little more, she praised the delicious food again and again, which made Mrs. Chunzhi blush and secretly happy after the meal.

Soon after breakfast, Mrs. Chunzhi originally wanted to write red paper to stick the door god, but this matter was quickly contracted by Li Huan and others.

Luo Shuyu wrote couplets, Lan Shushu followed Mrs. Chunzhi to cook rice paste, Mu Wanqiu followed Li Huan to paste the door god couplets, and Nini looked at the position and direction below. how many times.

After the couplets were posted, Mrs. Chunzhi picked up a few pieces of red paper and said to Li Huan: "Your family and Mr. Zhang haven't posted them yet, right? I asked someone to buy some extra red paper, so you can go and post them now." Go ahead, take the rice flour over there too!"

"Okay!" Li Huan took the rice paste and nodded. No matter how dilapidated the house is, there must be a tradition of sticking couplets on red paper.

"Oh, by the way..." Seeing Li Huan go out, Mrs. Chunzhi hurriedly shouted, "Remember to come back for lunch at noon, I'm boiling water in the pot, and I'll kill all the chickens and ducks in a while, and you'll be eating when you come back !"

"Got it!" Li Huan smiled warmly in her heart and waved her hand.

Luo Shuyu, Mu Wanqiu and Lan Shushu and Nini waved their hands amusingly and prepared to leave. Nini muttered with some reluctance: "I want to help too..."

"No way!" Li Huan said with a smile, "Brother Huan will go into the mountains soon, so I can't take you up to play, and mom kills chickens, do you have to help mom pluck the hair or something?"

"Okay..." Nini wrinkled her nose and pushed Li Huan angrily, "It's like my mother, go, I don't want to go, but you come down early at noon for dinner, mother's stewed chicken and duck It’s so delicious, I’m drooling just thinking about it!”

"Well, we'll come down early, Nini, go in quickly." Mu Wanqiu waved her hand, and then followed Li Huan and others towards the mountain.

This time, every household basically finished their breakfast and was pasting red paper, and there were intermittent faint sounds of firecrackers. There is a tradition in the village to light firecrackers before eating to pray for the blessings of the gods. The flavor of the New Year in the city seems to be a little stronger.

At this time, the three women gradually tasted some rural flavors, and their expectations gradually increased!
