When Li Ye returned to the wooden house, Mu Mu Rou was full and was drinking soup with a bowl in his arms. The husband and Bai Susu were already roasting pheasant meat, and one hare left him only a calf.
Mu Mu looked at Li Ye who entered the room, pouted and said, "Brother, if you don't come back, Mu Mu will eat your flesh."
Li Ye smiled, picked up the rabbit meat from the table, tore off a strip, handed it to her to eat, and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll give it all to you."
The husband was drinking the fruit wine in his glass. When he saw Li Ye, who had been staying outside for half an hour, come back, he smiled and said, "How is it? Do you understand?"
Li Ye was about to put a piece of meat into his mouth when he heard his husband's question. He stopped and replied softly: "Thank you, sir. I understand. Eat meat when you eat meat."
The gentleman laughed loudly, poured a glass of fruit wine and handed it to Li Ye. "If you are happy today, you can have a drink! If you are happy in life, you must have fun."
Bai Susu filled up the cup again. Mumu asked for a drink, but Bai Susu refused.
Li Ye thought for a while, picked up his cup, brought it to Mu Mu's mouth, and said, "Since you are happy, just take a sip and drink it when you grow up."
Like a kitten, Mu Mu stood on the master's lap, hugging Li Ye, took a sip of the fruit wine in the cup, stuck out her tongue and said it tasted bad.
This made both the husband and the master laugh. Mu Mu had her first sip of wine, and Li Ye fed her a sip.
Li Ye carefully tore the meat in his hands and ate it, handing a piece to Mu Mu from time to time. Bai Susu quickly said that he couldn't give it to her anymore because it was not feeding pigs.
Listening to Mu Mu giggling, she said that she was just a greedy little pig.
...
Those who practice on the mountain are happy and happy, and those who practice at the foot of the mountain are tender and full of knots.
After returning to the city from the mountain, Li Hongxiu went to the academy once and never left the Hongxiu Tower again.
In addition to integrating "Qingluan Condensation" with my own practice every day, I sit on the fourth floor with a pot of charcoal fire in front of me, brew a pot of tea, look at the snowflakes outside the house, and think about my own thoughts.
The Liuhe River in front of the building has frozen and looks very quiet on the surface with no current. But Li Hongxiu knew that the water in the river was not completely frozen, and there were still fish flowing and swimming at the bottom.
Just like myself, people return to the city, but their hearts remain in the mountains.
Today is the winter solstice, and people in Fengyun City will kill pigs and eat meat to celebrate this year's harvest and look forward to peace in the coming year.
Li Hongxiu declined the invitation from Ye Zhiqiu, the general's wife and some friends in the city, and sat alone in the building.
She had no appetite, so she asked Xiaohong to cook herself a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and then poured a glass of the strongest wine in Fengyun City.
Ye Zhiqiu asked Agui to give her a vat of chicken soup, saying that as the winter solstice approaches, women need to know how to take care of themselves.
Looking at the chicken soup on the table, with a strong smell wafting from the vat, Li Hongxiu suddenly felt a little appetite, poured some soup on the Yangchun noodles, and took a piece of chicken leg out of the soup, holding it in his hand to gnaw on it. .
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Suddenly he felt that although Fengyun City's wine was strong, it seemed that he owed something.
Upon closer inspection, the taste turned out to be the fruit wine brewed by Mr. Tianshan. Although it was not strong, it had a strong fruity flavor, and the mouth-filling aroma was unmatched by this strong wine.
During the winter solstice, guests all celebrate the festival in their respective homes. There were very few people on the street, and those who had not returned were all heading home. In the Fengyun City of Ruoda, it was a quiet day, with no wind and no noise.
Li Hongxiu was used to the noise in the building, but she was not used to the sudden silence. This kind of quiet scenery can only be found in wooden houses on the mountains. I never thought that I could occasionally feel it in the bustling Fengyun City.
I picked up the Yangchun noodles in front of me, savored the taste of the chicken soup, chewed the texture of the noodles, and felt the helplessness Ye Zhiqiu felt when he missed Li Ye.
Suddenly feeling a little irritable, I picked up the wine glass and took a big sip...
After she left her sister and came to Fengyun City from Sifang City to open the Red Sleeve Building, her only thought was to make money desperately, thinking that after having money, she would no longer have to go hungry.
When she met Mr. Li Yehe again, she realized that what she wanted was not money. She wanted to live and practice with him, drink together, play the piano together, and leave this world together.
Picking up the bowl, after finishing the soup at the bottom of the bowl, I couldn't help but pour another bowl of chicken soup from the urn. This winter solstice chicken soup can warm the body, and it can also warm the lonely heart at the moment.
...
The winter solstice at the little fat man's house was lively. The whole family went to his husband's house. This was Ye Zhiqiu's invitation.
In the words of the Master, when his son is away, he brings his son's friends over to have a lively winter solstice together.
Five people from the two families gathered around the flower hall of the master's house, lit a stove and ate from the pot.
Li Ye saw this way of eating from the books in his husband's study. Later he tried it with his parents when he went home and found it fresh and delicious. Ye Zhiqiu learned from Li Ye how to make hot pot base. Unexpectedly, Used it today.
Tang Youyu traveled all over the country and ate a lot of delicious food, but this was the first time he ate hot pot. While wiping his sweaty brow, he said, "My sister-in-law's cooking skills are so good. Why don't we and I jointly open a restaurant like this?" Needless to say business.”
Although Little Fatty is no longer fat, Master and Ye Zhiqiu still call him Little Fatty.
He was also sweating profusely after eating, just like his father.
The little fat man, who was enjoying his meal, echoed his father's words and said, "That's right, sir, you go with my father and I'll help you wash the dishes."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the happy father and son and smiled happily: "There is no need to find another place to open a restaurant. Hongxiu said that she will go up the mountain to find her husband and Ye'er after spring. I guess she won't care about Hongxiu Restaurant anymore."
"If we really want to open a building, isn't she already ready? Now she is eager for someone to help her take care of it. She has already focused on Mr. Mo."
Tang Youyu slapped his head, jumped up and said, "Why didn't I think of this? That's just right. You can even save money on buying and decorating the building. We are three partners. You provide the recipe and I will pay. Li The red sleeves are out of place, absolutely amazing!"
Seeing that his wife liked it, the Master didn't object. He just said: "Youyu, you have to think clearly. If you open a restaurant, we will definitely not be able to manage it. If you want to sell medicine, how can there be anyone in charge of this restaurant?"
Tang Youyu shook his head, thought for a while and said: "My medicine pavilion is all purchased from others. Now the price is getting higher and higher, and I can't make much money. I will let Qian'er take care of it in the future, or simply transfer it." give others."
Chen Qian glared at her husband and said: "How can this family's inherited property be transferred at will? We have to find a kind-hearted person to take care of it. The business of this medicinal herb is a matter of saving lives and healing the wounded."
Both the master and his wife said that this matter should not be taken carelessly, and a decision must be made after careful consideration.
The little fat man looked at Zhong Zhiqiu and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, sir, will my brother Li Ye be able to come back from Tianshan Mountain by the time you tell me?"
Ye Zhiqiu was a little stunned when the little fat man suddenly asked.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Tianshan Mountains outside the house, and said quietly: "I heard from Li Hongxiu that it will take about a year at the fastest. If it takes a slower time, it is possible to stay for two to three years."
Having said this, Ye Zhiqiu got up and went to the study. After a while, he came out with a letter in his hand, handed it to Tang Youyu, and said softly: "This is the letter of recommendation written to you by Mr. Li Hongxiu who came down from the mountain. have a look."
Tang Youyu was a little confused, wondering what Mr. Mo was writing to?
He opened it and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he handed it to the little fat man and said, "This is a letter from Mr. Mo to you, Brother Hu, and his sister, recommending that the three of you go to the Qingcheng Sect in the Central Region to practice."
The little fat man was delighted after hearing this and took it over to read carefully. While watching, he yelled: "My brother Li Ye is still kind to me. He practices with his husband and has not forgotten us three brothers."
Only Chen Qian looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said in embarrassment: "The mountains in Zhongyu are high and the water is far away. I don't know when I will come back. In my opinion, we should wait until Chao'er is older before going."
The master thought for a while, looked at Tang Youyu seriously and said, "What Chen Qian said makes sense. The Central Region is not as convenient as the Tianshan Mountains. It is better to wait until the child is older. Cultivation is a long process, so don't rush it."
Tang Youyu thought for a while and then said to the little fat man: "What the master told your mother makes sense. How old are you? We will go there in a few years. In the past few years, we can lay the foundation at home first."
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, when you meet your two classmates, tell their brothers and sisters about this matter, so that their parents also know about this matter. As for whether to go in the future, it depends on their family's decision."
In the garden outside the flower hall, the trees on the ground were covered with snowflakes, and icicles hung upside down from the eaves. Everyone in the room was covered in sweat and felt warm in their hearts.
The little fat man who wants to practice is thinking about his future practice. Tang Youyu, Ye Zhiqiu and Chen Qian, who are thinking about doing business, are thinking about how to persuade Li Hongxiu to open a restaurant. The master is thinking about his son in the ice and snow. The scene of practice.
While picking up food for Chen Qian and the little fat man, Ye Zhiqiu said, "You don't need to tell Li Hongxiu. She is going to Tianshan at the beginning of spring, and I can't wait any longer. I will pass by her one day and tell her about this." If she talks about it, it’ll probably be fine.”
"When you two open a restaurant these days, you need to hire a cook, a dishwasher, a girl to serve the dishes, and many other chores. You need to think carefully about it. You can't wait until then to worry."
Master, Tang Youyu and Chen Qian all said that what Ye Zhiqiu said was reasonable and that these trivial matters must be prepared in advance.
Only the little fat man was secretly excited, thinking about telling Hu Ge and Xiao Ju tomorrow that the three of them could go to the legendary sect to practice together. This place was a huge opportunity for them and they must not miss it.
Qingcheng in the Zhongxuan Domain is a holy land for Taoist practice. It has always been famous for its strict selection of disciples. Although the Qingcheng Mountains are not as majestic as the Tianshan Mountains and not as beautiful as the Phoenix Mountains, the peaks of Qingcheng are famous for their dangerous beauty. It is said that Taoist practitioners can fly to the sky and escape from the earth. It is a place that countless boys and girls want to go to in their dreams.
Seeing it, he was going there.
