I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 155 New Year Event, a Rain of Fireworks

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It would be best if you share it on Facebook for me]

"This is mine." Xiaoman kicked them one by one on their buttocks.

The dogs flew several feet away like clouds and mist, and fell into a pile of weeds, making pitiful whimpers.

Of course, they only flew far away, but they were not hurt at all.

Xiaoman loves to play, and is very nice to the two dogs as playmates, but she just likes to scare the dogs.

Gu Ke knocked on her head: "Now I'll give you a chance, eat shrimps and crabs first or fish first?"

Xiaoman did not hesitate at all: "Eat first, then fish."

Gu Ke gestured to Xiao Ping'er next to him: "Do you understand? This is called playing."

Xiao Ping'er nodded. The contrast was too obvious.

If she had agreed to one fish per person, she would definitely catch enough first.

Xiaoman didn't pay attention to their previous conversation and was puzzled: "We come out to play, don't we?"

Gu Ke sat down and took the indestructible stone knife from her waist: "You don't have to think about this problem. You are gifted when it comes to playing."

Xiaoman was not ashamed when she heard it, but was proud: "That's right, I was the smartest one in the village. Boys are not as good as me in catching birds, trapping snakes and taking bird eggs."

As the two talked, their hands did not stop.

Gu Ke had a knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife lightly picked up the shrimp head and the shrimp thread flew out together, falling on the lotus leaf under his feet, and finally cut the feet and back, and threw it into the basin of clear water.

Xiaoman used his hands to pinch the shrimp head and twist it slightly, pull it out, and throw it, and then use blood to condense into silk, and cut the feet and back at will.

Xiao Ping'er blinked, and did not rush to help as before, but looked at Gu Ke.

Gu Ke knew what she was thinking and smiled: "As long as you don't work as hard as you do when you practice, it doesn't matter how you do it."

At this point, he glanced at Xiaoman: "It would be perfect if you two were in balance. Your elder sister is good at everything, but she plays too hard."

Xiao Ping'er was startled when she heard this, and then burst out laughing.

Can playing be hard? She had never thought of this.

Xiaoman felt that this seemed to be a compliment, but not entirely.

But when it comes to playing, she is really serious, so she no longer acknowledged it and continued to happily deal with the shrimps.

Forget about crabs, there are more shells and less meat, and they are not pleasant to eat, unlike shrimps, which are almost all meat after the head is removed.

Among the four people, only Bai Suqing has a preference for crabs. Donghai Country is facing the sea on one side, and there are many rivers and lakes in the territory.

Seafood is almost a favorite food for every household.

Sea crabs and river crabs are one of the must-have delicacies for dignitaries and wealthy families to entertain guests. The rarer the species, the better the taste, and the more popular they are.

Ordinary people mainly eat fish, for the same reason as Xiaoman - more meat, enough to fill you up.

After Xiao Ping'er laughed, she also joined the team to clean up shrimps and crabs.

As a martial master, or a martial master who was promoted by the Sunflower Sutra, meticulousness and exquisite control are essential characteristics.

The tiny and integrated sunflower blood is both the sharpest needle and knife, and the softest silk thread.

Gently bypass the crab shell and turn it up, then the gills, stomach, intestines, and heart are also cut off and bounced onto the lotus leaf at the foot, and then covered back with the crab shell.

At this time, the processed crabs waved their claws belatedly.

But the wood was already done, and Gu Ke casually put them on the pan - they were the "fellow brothers" of Miss Qin's big sun cloud pattern wheel.

It has been used to make pancakes, pot cakes, and iron plate dishes for many years, and it is already covered with oil and thick black.

Compared with its "fellow brother" who became a soldier and rose to prominence in one fell swoop, it is ordinary and hardworking, but it is very much loved by Gu Ke, Xiao Man and Xiao Ping'er.

Now, Gu Ke took it out to make iron plate shrimp and crab.

As a picnic grill for foodies, it is inevitably large.

It is about six feet long and a little over one foot wide, and the frying pan only occupies about a quarter of it.

A wire mesh is placed on the other end to make the most common charcoal grilled shrimp and crab.

The three of them worked together, and the shrimps and crabs quickly completed the last journey.

After Gu Ke carefully brushed them with oil, a beautiful orange-red color appeared on the iron plate and the iron mesh.

Xiao Man threw two charcoal grilled shrimps into her mouth, and took the iron plate crab from the side and sent it to his mouth.

She always couldn't wait to eat, but didn't want to eat first, so she simply shot left and right to feed herself and Gu Ke at the same time.

This is already a daily routine for the two of them, and they cooperate very well.

As long as Gu Ke opens his mouth, Xiaoman will deliver the meat to the right place.

After biting it, she will move it away and wait for him to open his mouth again.

Gu Ke chewed slowly, and the crab meat and crab paste in his mouth were smooth and tender, and the crab roe was full and had a distinct granular feel.

The seasoning oil seemed a little heavy, and it overwhelmed the deliciousness of the crab itself. This needs to be improved. He commented on his craftsmanship in this way.

He opened his mouth again, and Xiaoman understood it in seconds, and the charcoal grilled shrimp that was just delivered to his mouth was transferred to him.

The shrimp meat was more elastic and thicker, and the inside still maintained its own sweetness, which was better.

"How does it taste?" He asked the two children for their opinions.

Xiaoman: "It's delicious, but Sister Bai and Xiaomei will think it's a bit too strong."

Xiaoping'er ate the grilled shrimp that she had stuffed in first, and nodded seriously: "Well, it's just a little salty, but it's okay."

Gu Ke chuckled, took the time to pick up a shrimp that was grilled later and brushed with less oil twice, and stuffed it into her mouth: "I almost said it, otherwise I'll grill it this salty for you next time."

"Ah?" Xiao Ping'er was startled, then she realized that he was teasing her, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Chewing the shrimp that had just arrived in her mouth, her expression relaxed: "This is about right, it can be a little lighter, it feels most comfortable."

Gu Ke nodded: "It should be that the seasoning oil tastes too strong, and you can add a lighter one, for you and Sister Bai."

She shook her head quickly: "It's for Sister Bai, I'll just do the same as you, just use less oil."

Is this because she dislikes Sister Bai's taste. Gu Ke smiled and stuffed another shrimp into her: "Anyway, put it in the warehouse after it's done, you can use it whenever you want."

But she reminded herself in her heart: the little girl and Sister Bai are a bit similar, but they are two different people after all.

Nowadays, Bai Suqing looks down on the world, acts directly to her heart, and becomes more and more straightforward-small-mindedness is her nature, and this will not change.

The difference is that Xiaoman is like this by nature, and Bai Suqing took the initiative to let go after experiencing it.

Xiao Ping'er has never reached this point, and always considers others first.

To be more specific, it is Gu Ke and his three people, and perhaps we should also add Sa Lanzhu - this person can barely be counted as half, and others such as Miss Qin and others do not count.

Because in her mind, Gu Ke and his family are family.

Gu Ke is like a brother and a father, Bai Suqing is like a sister and a mother, and Xiaoman is like another self, who is what she wants to be.

The more she values ​​them, the more she does not want to lose them, because she has already lost her family once.

With the divine thoughts in her body, she is naturally friendly and blessed. Gu Ke is not unaware of this, so he would enlighten her from time to time.

Excessive things are not good.

He does not want Xiao Ping'er to become a sickly existence.

With the contract, she will not threaten everyone, but that state is not normal.

Things that are very interesting in novels and comics may not be interesting when they are really around, and may even make people feel uncomfortable.

For example, many people say that things that can give warmth and strength really appear in reality in the form of G or above.

Then the thoughts in their minds are probably: This is deformed, it is a disease, ma'am, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

After Xiao Ping'er was promoted to Martial Master, everyone's winter days became more leisurely.

The daily martial arts training time was not only shortened to two hours.

Among them, only one hour was for specific practice, and the other hour was for Bai Suqing to explain to the two children how to strengthen the foundation of the newly promoted Martial Master.

Xiaoman, who was not yet a Martial Master, was a little puzzled by this, and Bai Suqing just said lightly: "The valley is different now. You will definitely be promoted to Martial Master in three to five years. There is no harm in knowing some common sense in advance."

Gu Ke knew that this was only one of the reasons.

November and December of the 512th year of Dawu passed in such a plain and leisurely manner.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, but everyone did not get drunk again. The warmth of reunion was enough.

Before midnight, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, waiting for this year's system's New Year's event - Bai Suqing and others used to call it "the blessing of the immortals".

Everything the system showed was indeed like the immortals in their minds, so it was appropriate to call it this way.

The system prompt arrived as expected. Gu Ke lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, and took the most comfortable position, but suddenly froze.

After a moment, he sat up and muttered: "System baby, you see that I save the karma money but don't use it?"

Despite such complaints, Gu Ke knew in his heart that the great changes in the world that he had only vaguely felt before were about to happen.

This activity did not limit the amount of karma money he could use - there was no upper or lower limit, and it was obvious that he was allowed to decide for himself.

The system baby wanted to take a step ahead and leave more fire in the people of Dawu.

Sitting on the couch, thinking for a moment, he got up and put on his coat, and called Bai Suqing and the two children.

Even the idiot Sa Lanzhu was brought along, and the five of them went to the study room of Yulong Peak together.

The study room is located at the easternmost part of the peak, and further east is an unobstructed sky.

At this moment, the night sky is like ink, snow is flying, and the ground below the mountain is white everywhere.

Xiaoman yawned: "Old Gu, what's fun in coming out in the middle of the night?"

Gu Ke didn't say anything about the big change that was going to happen, at least there was no need to say it at this time, he just smiled: "This year's New Year's activities are not about making money, but spending money."

The three girls became interested when they heard it: "What's going on?"

Gu Ke didn't say: "The immortals asked me to give benefits to those sincere people."

He then looked at Xiao Ping'er: "What gift do you want to give to your cousin Wang Xiaomai?"

Xiao Ping'er was surprised: "Can I choose?"

Gu Ke: "Of course."

Xiao Ping'er pondered for a few breaths: "It's better to give her a system martial arts without a grade, and take some grain seeds that she doesn't have. This way it won't attract attention, and her family can live in peace."

Gu Ke nodded: "Okay."

After the words fell, several huge purple lights shot up from the plain at the bottom of the valley, pulling out several straight purple rays, and finally exploding golden fireworks covering half of the valley above everyone's heads.

The golden fireworks pulled out radioactive patterns in the air, like petals suddenly stretching, and then falling down a little bit.

The three girls all raised their heads and sighed.

Xiaoman even murmured: "So beautiful."

Gu Ke smiled but said nothing. This was just to activate the cause and effect money, touch the thin soul source everywhere in the cave, and simply amplify the sound, light and electricity special effects.

In fact, the soul source only refracted and amplified the light, with almost no consumption.

But, isn't the New Year's wish a gorgeous rain of fireworks?

Rubbing Xiaoman's dog head: "What about you, do you want to bring something home?"

Xiao Man: "Just like Xiao Ping'er, just give him a basic martial arts system and food seeds, so that the stupid elder brother and the bad second brother won't show off everywhere."

Gu Ke: "Okay."

Several groups of purple light rushed into the sky again, and before the first wave of fireworks dissipated, they exploded again.

The two fireworks crossed each other, and most of the valley was shrouded in golden light.

In Gu Ke's mind, the two unlucky dogs, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei, were awakened by fear, ran out of their exclusive doghouses, and quickly ran into the barn, shrinking into a group of old cows, shivering.

With a smile in his heart, he looked at Bai Suqing again: "Sister Bai?"

Bai Suqing put her hands behind her back and looked up, her eyes were far away, as if she was looking at fireworks, but her mind was filled with the scene of her parents taking her to the night market to watch lanterns and fireworks when she was a child.

Hearing his voice, she turned her head slightly blankly.

Feeling the inquiry and concern in his eyes, she smiled: "What's the matter?"

Gu Ke: "Do you want to give someone a gift?"

Bai Suqing's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded: "Miss, she seems to still owe me a favor, so it doesn't matter if she owes me a little more, just give her the three books."

Gu Ke nodded in understanding, and as soon as he thought about it, three balls of purple light rose into the sky side by side, and then exploded together.

The valley, which had just dimmed a little, was shining with golden light again, with a magnificent scene.

This year, Miss Qin and the others also contributed soul sources.

And it may be because of their strong strength, or because they were grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.

The nine of them provided more than ten units of soul sources every month, which was more than the soul sources provided by thousands of people in Xiongjia Village.

Before, he was afraid that Miss Qin would have problems when she was promoted to Martial Saint, so he didn't rush to send the three super martial arts, the Great Sunflower Sutra, the Blood Sea Red Lotus Treasure Book, and the Water and Fire Dream Heart Sutra.

Now Bai Suqing has studied three martial arts for half a year, and took the initiative to ask him to send them out, probably because she was sure that they would not harm Miss Qin and the others.

Then take this opportunity of the New Year's blessing to send them out together.

Among them, the Blood Sea Red Lotus Treasure Book was initiated by Miss Qin, Li Xiuer, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Only Miss Qin was initiated by the other two.

Only she could compare and comprehend the three martial arts together like Bai Suqing.

The entry requirements of the Sunflower Sutra and the Water and Fire Dream Heart Sutra are too high, and it is almost impossible for Li Xiuer, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter to succeed.

Seeing it now will only affect their practice.

On the contrary, the Blood Sea Red Lotus Treasure Book is more universal, and most of them are not as gifted as Xiao Ping'er, so they will not practice too quickly.

It is a good choice to practice one of them and decide whether to switch to another one later depending on the situation.

After satisfying the wishes of the three women, Gu Ke started the "New Year's Blessing Distribution" in other places.

Over the past year, Gu Ke's Wuxiang Zhenjing has quietly risen to level 500+, and his mind has become more powerful.

It's really effortless to simply control the soul source in the cave to create all kinds of fireworks effects seen in the previous life.

One after another, purple light shot up into the sky, exploding all kinds of colorful fireworks in the dark night sky.

Like stars, like tides, like waterfalls, like mist, it's overflowing with light.
