After a night of heavy rain, nothing happened to Cao An and the others. Although the energy of the world was surging and demons were rampant, spending the night in the wild was not a safe move. But it also depends on the person. Strength is a natural barrier. It can help you ward off more than 90% of the crises in the world.
Early the next morning, a few people came to the open space in front of the ruined temple, set up a big cauldron, and brought in the unused firewood from the ruined temple last night. According to Li Douer's wishes, they had to eat whatever they wanted today. A meal with some soup, no more water and pancakes to fool people, he is now growing.
For this meal, he even signed a lot of "unequal treaties". For example, he had to clean up and prepare the dishes by himself, and also planned to clean up the pots and pans after the meal. Cao An would not be so boring and signed a contract with him. All of this was so heavy that Li Douer opened it in a hurry.
When the venison was put into the pot and the aroma of the meat was rising, Cao An leaned into Li Douer's ear, which was filled with anticipation.
"Actually, we were planning on making a good tasting meal this morning."
The excitement on Li Douer's face was solidified, and he suddenly felt like he had been cheated. He originally thought that all this was the result of his hard work, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be something that had been decided long ago. , and I was just the coolie who was cheated. The excitement in my heart turned into anger, and the anger turned into appetite.
Feeling hungrier...
"Where does the smell of meat come from in these barren mountains? It's so strong, hiss~ It's venison, or a healthy black deer with the most vitality and blood mixed with meat. Yes, only this kind of deer can be cooked to produce such a flavor. It makes people's index fingers move and gluttons swarm, so the person who cooks it must be a gourmet who knows how to eat."
The woman slapped her conspicuous junior brother, "Don't be embarrassed, we have all seen it."
"Really?" The young man opened his eyes, but several people had arrived at the end of the road outside the ruined temple. There were four people sitting in the open space in front of the ruined temple, three adults and one child. How many people were there? When the arrival came, they didn't even look here. The youngest one looked at it curiously, then buried his head in the bowl, finished the food in the bowl with a slurp, and added another big spoonful, like It’s as if I’m afraid that I’ll be robbed if I’m slow.
There were four people in this group, three of whom were all dressed in the same attire. They were wearing light blue warrior robes. They were carrying knives. At first glance, they belonged to that standard of knives. The size and rules were the same. And beside them, There was also standing an old man with a sallow complexion and slender muscles, wrinkles forming ravines on his face, and long hair mixed with black and white, scattered in a messy way.
The only thing that stood out was the brocade robe he was wearing. He looked like a rich man in a village. The red and black robe was just to show off his wealth. The whites of his eyes were yellow and his old eyes were cloudy. He was being carried by one of the three young men. I put it down when I got here, probably because I haven't eaten anything. When I smelled the aroma of meat, my throat visibly rolled.
"Several heroes, what are you doing with the disciples of Qian Dao Sect? Next to me are Senior Sister Han Yingying and Junior Brother Jiang Fan. It is a kind of fate that we can meet at the top of Wulang Mountain. I wonder if I can share some of your food. We don’t want it in vain, I can give you some money. This is the best black venison, which contains the power of strong Qi and blood. Even in the city, a bowl is hard to find. For three taels of silver a bowl, we can There are four people here with a total of twelve taels of silver, do you think it’s feasible?”
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, "It's not that we are greedy, it's actually that the old man we met on the road is physically unable to withstand the bumps. If we can get a bowl of food like this to replenish our physical strength, I think it will be a lot of relief."
When He Suoqi spoke, his eyes were heavy. Among this group of people, Cao An was inadvertently ignored by him, and the middle-aged man who seemed to have no cultivation skills did not seem to be able to make decisions among them. It's a big thing, let alone a child, so it's just heavy.
"Brother Cao?" He looked at Cao An without thinking.
It was only then that He Suoqi realized that he seemed to have ignored Cao An. It turned out that among the group of people, this one who looked like a scholar was the real master.
"Together, twenty taels of silver. You can sit down and eat together. As long as you can eat, feel free to eat." Twenty taels of silver may be a huge sum of money for an ordinary family, but for He As far as the weapon was concerned, it didn't matter at all. He immediately looked happy, took out twenty taels of silver from his arms, and handed it to Cao An.
With a very familiar look, he moved a brick and sat around the cauldron, waving to his senior sister and junior brother.
"Come here and eat, I paid for it."
On the other hand, he bowed his hands towards Cao An and others, "Thank you so much, thank you so much!"
The space was enough. Cao An and the others originally sat relatively far apart. With so many people inserted in the middle, it didn't seem crowded at all. He moved a few bricks carelessly, stacked them together, and diligently wiped them with his sleeves. After wiping it, he motioned for senior sister Han Yingying to sit down, and Li Douer reluctantly gave them the dishes and chopsticks.
When I thought about the extra food for four people when I was cleaning up later, I felt a little unhappy about this meal. Of course, it might also be because I was full.
"Then we're not welcome?" He Suoqi licked his lips and his eyes shone. The aroma of the food was one aspect. The most important thing was the power of Qi and blood contained in it. Just smelling it made him feel powerful. He is ready to move. Although he has passed the stage of cultivating Qi and blood, as a martial artist, no one will despise his own Qi and blood.
This is the simplest, most direct and best way to replenish strength.
As he said that, He Suoqi picked up the big spoon and scooped out a bowl for himself. It was almost overflowing. After holding the bowl firmly, he slid it around the edge of the bowl and exhaled with satisfaction. Then he put down his own bowl and filled it up for several people around him. By this time, Cao An and the other three had already finished eating and put it down. Only Li Dou'er on one side took another big sip, and some dissatisfied ones also got up and filled up a big bowl.
The thin old man seemed to be reincarnated by a starving ghost. He didn't care about the venison that was not too cold. He ate it with a slurp. In just a few breaths, he raised the empty bowl and looked at Cao An. He already felt that He Suoqi, who was fast enough but still couldn't catch up with the old man, was stunned for a moment.
"Aren't you afraid of hot food? It feels like you have never eaten food in your life."
"Hehe~" The old man didn't say anything, just smiled.
Cao An didn't say anything, but Chang Qing on the side smiled faintly and said with a very experienced look: "When you eat food for the first time, it usually behaves like this. It's not surprising, not surprising."
"What are you talking about? You are nagging. At this age, half of your body is almost buried. How can it be the first time to eat food? It is almost the first time to eat such delicious food. Hey, don't tell me, I think this tastes much better than the ones made by those big restaurants in Tianniu City."
As he said that, he added another big bowl to the old man, and also added a bowl to himself.
Cao An glanced at him and said, "Be content. Eating too much is not good for your health."
"There are still several bowls left here. You, a scholar, can't go back on your word. You just agreed that you can eat as much as you want for twenty taels of silver, but you can't give me a ration."
Cao An didn't speak anymore, but stood up and walked to the other side. Cao An and Chang Qing only tasted the food in the big cauldron, and more were prepared for Li Dou'er and Shen Zhong to eat. Li Dou'er was due to practice Because of his sect, despite his young age, he doesn't have to worry about overdoing it. He is in the realm of heavy martial arts and has no such worries.
There are a few more people now. The intention was to entertain guests, but I didn't expect to meet a greedy boy. What's the use of this? It's not easy to eat this meal. Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. After all, The discomfort is only temporary, but the benefit is permanent. Cao An did not stop him, which surprised him. It was the youngest 'junior brother' who put down his bowl and chopsticks after eating only one bowl.
Han Yingying also added two bowls, and Li Douer seemed to be competing with them. As long as they continued to eat, he would continue to eat. When the bottom of the cauldron reached the bottom and there was nothing left, he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and left. Went aside to clean.
"Ah, so full..."
