Alchemy master in the city

Chapter 261

Mrs. Chunzhi raised her head and saw Li Huan's eyes staring straight at her. Suddenly, she felt her cheeks burning. She quickly turned her head and greeted Luo Shuyu and the others, pretending to be calm, "I'm back now... let's go in and have dinner." , I put all the food in the pot to keep it hot!"

"Okay, thank you Mrs. Chunzhi." Luo Shuyu said politely.

"What are you talking about, how polite is the family?" Mrs. Chunzhi said with a smile, "Come in, I'll go to the kitchen and serve the dishes..."

"You go in first, my sister-in-law and I will go to the kitchen to serve the dishes!" Li Huan smiled, and followed Chunzhi's sister-in-law towards the kitchen.

Hearing Li Huan's words, Aunt Chunzhi felt her body tense up, as if a feeling of panic rose from the bottom of her heart!It's not that she didn't know that Li Huan often peeked at her, but a few days ago Li Huan was like a big child, and she didn't take it too seriously, thinking that as long as Li Huan found a wife outside, she wouldn't look at her like this !
But now Li Huan has grown into a man with a masculine temperament in a blink of an eye, and there are several beautiful wives who are like angels by her side, but that gaze is still peeking at her like before, and she suddenly feels a little flustered, as if there is something wrong An itchy bug bit a hole in his heart.

While thinking wildly in a panic, she reached out to uncover the big wooden pot cover. Who knew that the steam was steaming, and accidentally rushed to her arm. Mrs. Chun Zhi immediately loosened the pot cover and let out an exclamation of "Ouch". It also fell back with a "bang" again.

Li Huan leapt up, stepped forward and grabbed Li Chunzhi's hand in an instant, and asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Li Chunzhi only felt that his hand was scalded by something even hotter than steam, and quickly retracted, his body trembled involuntarily.

"No...it's okay, let go of sister-in-law's hand..."

Halfway through her words, a pair of almond-like eyes suddenly widened, and her fair face instantly turned into pink cheeks. She stared at Li Huan in a panic and exclaimed in a trembling voice: "You... What are you doing? what..."

While yelling in a low voice and panic, while violently going back to retract his fingers.

Li Huan didn't know why, so he subconsciously sucked Li Chunzhi's burned finger with his mouth. After Li Chunzhi struggled violently to resist, he realized that he had lost his limb for a while, and quickly took out a finger from his pocket. Handing the elixir to Mrs. Chun Zhi, she said, "I almost forgot, I have the medicine with me... Sister-in-law, you can eat this, I'll bring the food out!"

"Hmm..." Li Chunzhi took the elixir and walked into the corner of the kitchen tremblingly. His cheeks were as red as the red cloth pasted outside the door. They were hot and very touching.

Li Huan didn't dare to look at Mrs. Chunzhi again, so he just lifted the lid of the pot, and then picked up a steamer that was hot inside. The steamer was full of cooked and kept warm dishes. Li Huan took a break and looked at Chunzhi The sister-in-law informed her, then lifted the cloth curtain of the kitchen with the bamboo steamer in her arms and went outside.

In the small hall, a few women had already set up the dishes, smelling the appetizing smell of the hot dishes, Nini asked curiously, "What was your mother's name just now?"

"The steamer is too hot, it burned a bit!" Li Huan replied calmly.

"Ah?" Mu Wanqiu on the side immediately asked concerned, "Are you okay? I'd better go to the kitchen and let Mrs. Chunzhi come out to eat first..."

"It's okay, I gave her a elixir, she will come out in a while, so don't go in, the kitchen is so small, wouldn't it be too crowded for several people to go in!" Li Huan said.

Mu Wanqiu nodded, but still amplified her voice towards the kitchen and shouted: "Sister Chun Zhi, you are coming out for dinner soon, let Li Huan do the kitchen work by himself!"

"Good job!" Aunt Chun Zhi's vague voice came from inside.

Li Huan put down the steamer and asked everyone to arrange the dishes first, and then went back to the kitchen to serve the meal. When he saw Mrs. Chunzhi wiping her tears, he walked over in a panic and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law." What's wrong with you? Does it hurt?"

"You don't care!" Mrs. Chunzhi gave him a hard look, then wiped her eye sockets, washed her eyes with a little water in the kitchen, took a few deep breaths, and covered them with cold hands. After cooling his hot face, he opened the curtain and went out.

Li Huan was helpless, and hurried out with a pot of rice.

After a while, the food was ready, and Li Chunzhi took a small hanging firecracker and threw it to Li Huan, saying, "You go and shoot this hanging firecracker, and then everyone has dinner."

"Good job!"

Li Huan lit nine sticks of incense and was about to hit firecrackers. The playful Nini immediately chased after her and wanted to hit firecrackers with her, which caused Chunzhi's wife to laugh and scold badly again.

Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, Mrs. Chunzhi announced the dinner, and everyone started immediately.

There are not as many options for the New Year’s meal in the country as in the city, but in fact, it is enough for six people to eat nine dishes. There are chicken, duck and fish heads, all of which are pure natural food, as well as bacon and some mountain dishes saved in the second half of the year. The game, together with home-grown seasonal vegetables and a few side dishes of cold wild vegetables, is of course not enough compared to a big meal, but the lively atmosphere is definitely better than the city's New Year's flavor.

Mrs. Chunzhi brought a jar of rice wine brewed by herself. In the joyous atmosphere, everyone pushed the glass and drank the low-strength rice wine. The sweet feeling made people drink many glasses without knowing it. It was only when I turned around that I realized that the spirit of wine was on top, and everyone's cheeks were flushed, symbolizing prosperity...

After the meal was messed up, Nini lay down on the table in a daze and fell asleep. After Li Chunzhi hugged Nini and put her on the bed to sleep, her footsteps were still a little vain, and Luo Shuyu and the others were not too drunk Too bad, barely a little fever, so I hurriedly helped Li Chunzhi clean up together.

After washing the bowls and chopsticks, Li Chunzhi simply said to the flushed people, "Don't go up the mountain, just take a rest in my house, and have a New Year's Eve dinner at my house tonight..."

Luo Shuyu and others looked at Li Huan.

Without waiting for Li Huan to think about it, Li Chunzhi directly ordered to Li Huan domineeringly: "What's the point of this? Just do as I said, eat the New Year's Eve dinner at my house, and everyone will watch the new year together. It's been a long time since Nini After this..."

"Then... alright!" Li Huan nodded. Now that Mrs. Chunzhi had spoken, he had no reason to refuse. Even if he went back to his home to celebrate the New Year, it would be just a fire for the four of them. There is no electricity here. In mountain villages without internet, the greatest prosperity is when more people gather together!

After drinking some wine, it would be really uncomfortable to go on the mountain road again. Luo Shuyu and the others hesitated for a while before agreeing, and considering that Mrs. Chun Zhi was working alone in the morning, the three daughters were going to take a lunch break Afterwards, I helped Mrs. Chunzhi finish the afternoon work together!

However, Li Huan still decided to go into the mountain alone in the afternoon. Although he encountered a storm in the morning, the search for Zhang Sanqian still needs to continue. He talked to Luo Shuyu and others, and then went up the mountain alone to find a family member. Zhang Huang Yangmu Gonggong went into the mountains with his back on his back.

All the way to the Musk Deer Mountain, Li Huan's speed alone was very fast, almost like an ape living in the jungle, he passed by the place where the giant python was haunted, and according to his eyes, he could see that after he left , There should have been creatures like wild boars and wild dogs wandering here.

After checking that there were no other abnormalities, Li Huan continued to move deeper into Musk Deer Mountain.

After searching for more than two hours, I finally found nothing, not even a trace!Li Huan started the return journey with the wild birds he had caught along the way, but he frowned tightly and was puzzled. Could it be that the old man really went into the mountain and was eaten by some wild beast?But even if you eat it, it will leave traces, right?
When I returned to Mrs. Chunzhi's house in the afternoon, several women were rolling out dumpling wrappers, Nini was doing homework for winter vacation, Li Huan threw wild birds to Mrs. Chunzhi to deal with, and he went to Li Bold's house with the snake meat.

……

Li Bold's father is a butcher in the village, and he has done a lot of killing pigs and dogs, and Li Bold's mother's cooking skills are also outstanding in the village. Li Huan was worried that Mrs. Chunzhi would not dare to cook snake meat, so he did it on purpose It was mentioned that Li Bold came to his house.

When Li Bold's father saw Li Huan coming to the door, he greeted him with a naive smile, "Hey! Huan is here? Have dinner at my house tonight, how many cups should we make?"

"I just drank it at noon, so I won't drink it now! And I'll eat it at Chun Zhi's house tonight, so you can make a few drinks with Dad tomorrow on the first day of the new year. I'm here with my things... "Li Huan said as he threw the bag away, and the seventy or eighty kilograms of things hit the ground with a muffled sound.

"What is this?" Father Li asked suspiciously. Out of instinct, he probably guessed that it was an animal because his sensitive nose smelled it.

"Snake meat!"

"What... what?" Father Li's body trembled, and he exclaimed in disbelief. Based on his senses, he knew that the contents of the bag were not light, and if it was snake meat, the weight would be too scary I heard it!
"A big boa constrictor was slaughtered by me..." Li Huan said calmly, "I was afraid that Mrs. Chunzhi would not dare to fix it when she saw it, so I brought it here and gave it to my father, and I can give it to the people in the village at night. It's a good thing to bring a bowl of soup over there!"

"I'm a mother..." Father Li exclaimed, squatting down with trembling hands to untie the bag, and the white snake meat inside suddenly appeared.

Father Li suddenly sat down on the ground in shock and exclaimed: "Isn't this big boa constrictor really smart? This skeleton is so big, and a piece of meat is so thick... Could it be several hundred catties?"

Li Huan saw that Father Li's face was not right, and quickly smiled and said: "It's not so evil! There are so many Amazons abroad, but there just happened to be one in the mountain behind our Lijiazhai...Actually There are a few hundred catties, but you mustn’t say it, Dad. It’s not good to scare everyone! I just came here to tell you, you are strict... just know this kind of thing yourself .”

After being praised by Li Huan, Father Li finally recovered a little soberly and sighed: "My God! My Father Li has killed a lot of pigs and dogs in his life, so he is really not afraid of these retribution... Then hand it over to me. Give it to me, I'll cut it up and let the old lady stew it into snake soup, and also make two side dishes, and I will send some of the soup to the people in the village, just say you caught a few more snakes in the mountains! Side dishes ... Let's just eat a little bit from one or two, what do you think?"

"I think this is the best way!" Li Huan nodded with a laugh, and then muttered strangely, "Where did the bold guy go? He didn't work at home during the Chinese New Year, so he sneaked out to be lazy?"
