Chapter 142: The Joys and Sorrows of Searching for Relatives,

He couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Ping'er couldn't help but pick up a few pieces of potatoes and goose, stuff them into the steamed buns, and eat them with an expression of pain and pleasure. ReadМ

Obviously her resistance to spicy food was not firm, and there was another like-minded person in the future.

Moreover, today’s pot of stewed goose was a bit overdone.

Spicy should serve the deliciousness of food, rather than simply pursuing spiciness and destroying the deliciousness.

The turkey noodles that became too spicy in my previous life were the opposite. They were unbearably spicy but had no chili flavor.

He ate it once and never touched it again.

Eating spicy food is about enjoyment and life, not comparison. What you like is the best.

In the future, the spiciness of the dishes will be reduced so that he and the two children can eat them.

Sister Bai has no choice. Her taste is light, and she doesn't like too much oil, salt, spicy, sour and sweet, which is similar to her personality.

But when it comes to eating, it’s not like you can only cook one dish. Salty, light, meat and vegetable dishes are the best combinations.

Like today, with the adjustment of stewed goose and duck soup, everyone had a good meal.

…

In the distant small valley of Lijiagou, Juqin was telling Miss Qin excitedly about the news he had learned along the way: "...Thousands of monsters and hundreds of monster generals who attacked Qianquan City all fell to the ground with a small hatchet. No one can escape."

The plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums and spring, summer, autumn and winter on the side couldn't help but roll their eyes: Do you believe this nonsense?

Unless the monsters are all stupid and run away without fear, can he really kill thousands of monsters and hundreds of monster generals with only one knife?

Miss Qin frowned, but suddenly asked another question: "Where is Master Qing?"

Juqin didn't react at once: "Master Qing?"

Then she remembered that she had mentioned that the people there were grateful to Master Wu Zunqing and Shennong for their life-saving grace.

Since all the monsters were killed by Shen Nong, what does Master Qing do?

Juqin said: "Well, it is said that she took action, with blood like the blue sea, and instantly froze the port of Qianquan City, killing many monsters and dozens of monster generals."

Zhuqi couldn't help but laugh: "With dozens and hundreds of demon generals, there are not ten or eight martial sects in Qianquan City. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for Shennong to save me."

Juqin became angry: "It is said, can what is said be taken seriously? I was not present, so how can I know how much those residents exaggerated. Paraphrase, paraphrase, do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, even Lan Hua laughed, and the valley was filled with happy air for a while.

After laughing for a moment, the girls realized that the eldest lady was not smiling, but was thinking deeply.

Mei Shu whispered: "Miss, what did you think of?"

Miss Qin came back to her senses and sighed faintly: "Master Qing, Xiao Xiong, Xiao Wu? Shennong still used a black hatchet and gave out bean cakes and flour. Did I think too much?"

Mei Shu: "You mean..."

Miss Qin was silent for a moment and shook her head slightly: "Maybe it's really them, but they don't use their real names or full names. There must be a reason."

After a pause, she continued: "Speaking of that person, have you ever heard him talk about his magical ability to change his appearance?"

Then who? Of course it was Gu Ke. The girls looked at each other, and together with Miss Qin, they turned their attention to Juqin.

Who knows that she and Gu Ke are the youngest, and they still chat a lot.

Juqin felt a lot of pressure. She frowned and thought hard, shaking her head repeatedly: "No, this really doesn't happen."

Seeing this, Miss Qin shook her head: "That's all. Shennong's whereabouts are all over the place, with no rules. It's hard to meet him, and it's useless to think too much."

After thinking about it, she still gave the order: "Let's just keep this speculation in our stomach and don't talk about it in private anymore. Do you understand?"

All the girls nodded.

Juqin couldn't help but say: "He, ahem...that Shennong, where else has he appeared?"

She and Dong Yan teamed up to go to Donghai Kingdom to pick up their families.

Juqin's family moved and searched several places before they found the person.

Either they rarely interacted with each other, or they were too ordinary, and her parents were not implicated.

With the property and martial arts she had given her family in the early years, her family was already a "rich family" in the small county.

Not enough compared to the top, but more than enough than the bottom.

Moreover, the parents also gave birth to younger brothers and sisters, who also started their own families.

It is impossible for a large family of old and young to give up their stable life and leave their hometown to come to Taiping Village.

Juqin left home when she was young and has a blood relationship with her family, but it is impossible to say that she is very close to them.

So he just used his identity as a "masked master" to give some benefits to the martial arts practitioners at home, and then left.

Dongyan's family was sent to a remote place in the East China Sea, and the journey was long.

But after going to the place to inquire, we found out that her parents died of illness not long ago due to excessive worry and acclimatization.

The elder brother encountered a monster and died, leaving only a little sister struggling to survive.

Due to her identity and the facial injuries she suffered when encountering a monster, no one came to snatch the civilian girl even though she was crying, so she was brought back by Dong Yan.

The other girls who went home together were in different situations. Some of their relatives were missing, some were definitely dead, some were alive and well, and some were well-off.

The joys and sorrows in the world are not the same, and the same applies to them.

There are too many dangers in this world, and accidents happen frequently. Although people's physiques are much better than in the previous life, most people should be thankful if they can live to be fifty years old.

It would not be surprising if he died early.

In the end, the eight girls brought less than ten relatives in total.

They have been sad and happy, but the living must move on.

Wait until Yiting Siguo comes down, then come back and tell Miss Qin what he saw and heard.

The group of Juqin and Dongyan are the farthest and the last ones to return. They just returned to Taiping Village today, and they don’t know the news that others have heard.

Only then did Mei Shu elaborate on the news that others knew.

The biggest and latest news is that the Tianling Sect caused blood spies at Zhenshan Pass, but was killed by Shen Nong with a sword, and the entire Tianling Sect was wiped out.

Other rural rumors were so bizarre that no one dared to take them seriously, but the news about Shen Nong and exotic grains was often heard.

All the girls have the strength of the Martial Sect. Unless they are unlucky enough to run into the Martial Lord, they are not afraid of the Bloody Slayer, and they can be conquered by everyone in the world.

Along the way, in addition to "inquiring" for information from wealthy families, I also took some exotic grains from them and brought them back.

At this moment, purple wheat, black beans, yellow millet, black millet, purple potatoes, and rouge rice are all placed here by Miss Qin.

At this time, her expression moved slightly and she ordered Mei Shu: "Xiu'er is here, let her in."

Mei Shu took the order and left.

After a while, Li Xiuer followed her into the small valley.

He first greeted the eldest lady, then called Ju Qin and Dong Yan who had just returned, Sister Ju, Sister Dong, and then stood there quietly.

Ju Qin stepped forward, looked her up and down, and said, "Sister Xiu'er's talent is really good. In a few years, I'm afraid I'll have to be inferior."

Li Xiuer's face was a little shy: "How dare I compare to Sister Ju?"

Juqin smiled and reached out to pat her shoulder: "It must be a good match."

Miss Qin interrupted the interaction between the two: "Okay, Xiu'er, sit down, and Zhu Qi, tell her all the news you heard. Mei Shu, I'm hungry."

Mei Shu: "What would you like to eat today, Miss?"

Miss Qin tilted her head and thought about it: "Let's eat in a bamboo tube."

Ju Qin quickly signaled: "I brought a lot of authentic dry goods from the East China Sea. Lian Gu... ahem, you will be greedy after seeing them."

Miss Qin nodded: "Okay, let's make this seafood bamboo tube rice."

All the girls nodded, and no one "ordered" anymore because it was unnecessary.

Mei Shu knows the taste of each of them, so they can probably make it together.

This is also a habit developed by the "canteen" in the valley.

A large pot of dishes is cooked together. Whoever is craving for a certain dish has to rely on luck or make it himself.

Gu Ke and Miss Qin were the only two people in the valley who ordered food. Bai Suqing could order, but almost never.

Next, the three girls, Zhuqi, Juqin, and Dongyan, stayed behind while the others dispersed.

Zhuqi is in charge of intelligence information and narration. Juqin Dongyan has just returned and needs to know the information collected by others.

The others have heard it once before, so they won't waste time listening anymore. They should practice martial arts when they should, and cook when they should.

Due to the sudden change in Dawu Zhongting, control and deterrence everywhere were greatly reduced.

Nowadays, there are villages and villages everywhere, and more and more people are joining them to escape the heavy taxes and heavy corvee.

However, with Dawu's hundreds of years of foundation, not many people dared to mess around.

The local sectarian wealthy families are accumulating strength and preparing for possible major changes.

Exotic food continues to spread. In order to stabilize people's hearts, these local forces have not increased their exploitation of the local area, but have become much gentler.

After all, the men who eat their food may not be of the same mind as them.

If you really raise a few second-level, fifth-level, and sixth-level warriors and control the force, it's hard to say whether the family property is yours or not.

The life of ordinary people is no worse than before.

Especially in remote places, where there are no restrictions from powerful sects and you can grow exotic grains at will, life is much better.

The bad news is that monsters are beginning to appear more frequently, and ordinary monsters and unscrupulous little monsters are constantly in conflict with humans.

White tricks have become common, and there are not many black tricks, but there have been a lot of murders.

The blood spies appeared several times, and it became a source of serious concern to the senior leaders of the Four Kingdoms.

Generally speaking, the four kingdoms of Dawu Yiting are gradually turbulent. The old order has not been broken and is still operating with strong inertia.

This narration lasted half an hour, and Zhu Qi took several volumes of information to finish it.

After giving Li Xiuer a moment of buffering time, Miss Qin said: "They brought back a lot of exotic food seeds, which are not available in Taiping Village. You can take them back later and arrange for others to plant them."

When Li Xiuer heard this, she immediately became happy.

She had heard a lot about the effects of exotic grains from Miss Qin.

It's a pity that there is only purple wheat in Taiping Village for thousands of miles, and no other alien species have been heard of.

She originally wanted to take some time to go out by herself and come back with one or two kinds.

Unexpectedly, Miss Qin had already thought of this and took care of it in advance.

Thinking of this, she stood up, ready to say goodbye and take the seeds back.

Miss Qin snorted softly: "Sit down."

Li Xiuer was startled, then sat down honestly.

Miss Qin looked calm: "I have said that those who want to do great things must be calm. The seeds will neither disappear nor be planted immediately. What's the point of leaving in a hurry?"

Li Xiuer opened her mouth, wanting to go back and arrange the planting arrangements.

But after some calculation, I found that according to the management methods taught by Miss Qin during this period, most of the things can be assigned to the middle-level personnel of Taiping Village.

She just arranged it and it didn't take half a day.

Next, of course, she would have to supervise and inspect, but that was a daily routine and had nothing to do with her current rush for time.

Li Xiuer thought clearly and nodded: "I was wrong, Miss Xie."

Miss Qin waved her hand: "You can't procrastinate, but blind impatience is also not advisable. Think before you act, and only then can Taiping Village be run for a long time."

At this point, Meishu came out of the kitchen holding a thick purple bamboo tube, and Chunxia came out with a dozen side dishes.

She stopped immediately: "Okay, you can have dinner with us before leaving."

Li Xiu'er had no objection.

Juqin was laughing there with her mouth covered, and winked at Zhuqi until she was glared at by her elder sister Meishu, and then she restrained her expression.

Miss Qin saw it, but pretended not to see it.

What she said just now was similar to what Gu Ke said to her, so she changed the wording and replaced "practicing martial arts" with "doing things".

Juqin and Gu Ke were very familiar with each other, and she could hear a "Gu Ke flavor" when she heard it.

Of course, she was not laughing at the young lady's "plagiarism", but she was just thinking of Gu Ke's serious "chanting" to the young lady, and the young lady's face full of impatience, but helpless.

Who knew that the young lady would have this day of "using Gu's spear to attack Li's shield".

As a result, Li Xiu'er really didn't leave.

Mei Shu only served her a fist-sized, colorful bamboo tube rice from the huge purple bamboo tube.

She ate it in a few bites, and before she could sigh at its delicious and unique taste, she suddenly entered a state of enlightenment.

Miss Qin's mind moved, and the invisible blood separated her from the others to avoid being disturbed.

The girls were not surprised, and continued to eat on their own.

Compared with them, she was going to break through the Wuzong after a sleep, so Li Xiu'er's situation was normal.

Besides, Miss Qin asked Li Xiu'er to stay for dinner just now, just to give her a benefit.

The food they ate was not ordinary foreign food from the outside world.

They are all based on the red spirit blood rice that has grown and evolved in the fairy field for ten years, supplemented by a moderate amount of black gold dragon pattern matsutake, green red phoenix crown mushroom, purple emperor ice heart bamboo shoots, and seven or eight kinds of trace vegetable shreds for seasoning.

The huge purple bamboo tube for steaming rice is a special "steamer" made by Gu Ke from the oldest purple emperor bamboo - attribute umami +5, characteristic food supplement +1.

When the girls ate this bamboo tube rice for the first time, their performance was similar to that of Li Xiuer.

After a quick lunch, they cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Meishu also made a pot of tea for Miss Qin before going back to practice.

Miss Qin poured tea for herself, but her eyes fell on Li Xiuer.

When she first saw this little girl, she felt very pleasing to the eye, and after observing her for more than half a year, she could also see her character.

After hearing the news brought back by the girls, Miss Qin couldn't help but suspect that Shennong was Gu Ke.

So, in the year before she left Yulong Valley, some of his words were obviously meaningful.

Therefore, she felt that she should do something - such as training Li Xiuer and allowing Taiping Village to develop, which would be a good start.
