Chapter 170: Saranju’s “First”, New Year’s Eve Dinner for Four and a Half People

Summer turns to winter, and the valley is once again covered with pear blossoms and green grass.

In the past six months, Saranzhu and the two little girls have been as close as sisters, but they are closer than real sisters.

Even though her "war" with Xiaoman is endless, it is just a daily interaction between sisters.

Xiaoman stubbornly resisted Saranzhu's pressure and took the title of the eldest sister and refused to give up her position - she is indeed the oldest of the three girls.

Saranzhu is two months older than Xiaoping'er and has become the eldest sister, while Xiaoping'er is still the youngest sister.

Finally, the eldest sister ushered in her first winter in which she could play in the snow.

...Well, she had also spent her first summer in which she could play in the water, and an autumn in which she could harvest rice and plant purple wheat by herself.

Most of the things in the valley were the first time for her who had just woken up.

In this way, it was not surprising that she played in the snow by herself in her first winter... It was strange.

Relying on her ability to adjust the plants on the surface, Saranzhu "used public power for personal gain" to make a lot of things.

The big lake for playing in the water was just the beginning. Later, terrain and scenery suitable for rest and play were gradually created in various places.

She used flowers and plants to spell out huge patterns and words on the surface, but Gu Ke didn't like this overly neat and rigid feeling, so he quickly restored it.

In the end, the overall changes to the valley were not big, all of which were the coordination of parts and details, which made them play more happily.

Gu Ke accepted this silently. After all, the fine-tuned Yulong Peak and the scenery at the foot of the mountain were more beautiful than before.

In the previous system buildings, in addition to the small hut being upgraded to level 10, the bedroom was also upgraded to level 10, and the soul-soothing and calming feature finally became +2.

It seems that the upgrade is not much, but according to the personal experience of the two children, its effect is amazing.

The difference in the effect before and after the promotion of this feature is that it is reasonable that it is more difficult to upgrade later.

Anyway, it is of great benefit to Sister Bai who is in a state of meditation. After entering the state of meditation, the slightly disordered mind has become stable again.

At this time, the total area of ​​the bedroom building has reached an astonishing 200 acres, and the legendary 5,000 square meters of large couch can accommodate two.

This was also used by Saranzhu.

In her words, the three bedrooms in the east, south and west could sleep five people, and the north bedroom where Miss Qin and her friends had lived was not even occupied, so there was no need to keep it so big.

Therefore, the oversized bedrooms were split into small houses of different styles and placed in various places in the valley.

In this way, everyone can find these small bedrooms nearby and enjoy the system blessing at any time.

The two children were very happy about this.

No matter how good the bedroom is, it is not fresh after sleeping in it for a few years.

Now you can change it every day and find a house to spend the night in any place by the river, lake, hills, slopes, and outer cliffs.

These small houses and small buildings occupy a small area, but there are many of them. It takes more than two months to live in them one by one, and a season is almost over.

The scenery is different from the last time when you move in again, which can keep the freshness for a long time.

Gu Ke also rests and reads books next to these small houses and small buildings during his free time during the day.

Relying on the advantage of the large area of ​​the level 10 bedroom, Saranzhu turned the valley into... a resort?

Gu Ke, who enjoyed the fruits of his labor, returned the favor by teaching the three girls some small games he had seen in his previous life, such as water skiing, skateboarding, skiing, and ice skating.

Ball games are definitely out of the question. Even if the three girls don't use blood and energy, they can hit the target with their physique alone.

Apart from being a feast for the eyes, there is no point in playing any ball.

Only these games that combine terrain and skills can be played for a longer time.

Of course, no matter how fun the game is, it is still not as good as all the unknown stalls.

Therefore, after upgrading the small hut and bedroom, Gu Ke invested all his soul sources in the roadside stall, which is now level 8.

The monsters encountered at the stall are like opening a blind box, but now the number of monsters everywhere has increased greatly, and there are "surprises" almost every time.

Most of the time, when rushing to the scene to help, you can also encounter more than two monsters.

There is one targeted one per month, and four ordinary stall opportunities, and the total soul sources obtained are more than 2,000 units.

With the explosive growth of soul sources provided by sincere people from all over the country, Gu Ke has earned more than 16,000 soul sources in the past six months.

He spent more than 10,000 to upgrade the roadside stall, and there are still more than 5,000 soul sources left.

When he upgrades to a level 9 roadside stall, he can switch to a targeted stall twice a month.

Compared with ordinary stalls, the scenes encountered by targeted stalls are larger, and the possibility of harvesting a large number of soul sources is higher.

Of course, it would be even better if the New Year's event on the first day of the new year gave him a chance to experience a level 10 roadside stall.

Thinking of this, Xiaoman was already calling him over there: "Old Gu, don't be in a daze there, it's time to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, come and try your stuffed meat."

Gu Ke smiled and got up and walked into the small hut that served as the dining room.

The two children and Saranzhu were enthusiastically serving dishes one after another, enriching the scale of the New Year's Eve dinner.

Nowadays, cooking in the valley is purely based on personal interest.

Whatever you want to eat every day, there are all kinds of food ready in the warehouse.

Noodles, rice noodles, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, steamed, boiled, fried, and baked, everything is available.

This year, Saranzhu said that this was her first time to celebrate the New Year "in person" and she wanted to cook a lively and sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.

Gu Ke and the two children had no objection.

He had only cooked two dishes, and Saranzhu said that as the head of the family, he just needed to show his intention and should not take away all their work.

The two children agreed with this statement and sent him to rest.

He was bored, so he simply carried Bai Suqing down the mountain with her couch, and watched the three women cook together.

On New Year's Eve, the night of family reunion, how could she be left lying alone on the peak.

The New Year's Eve dinner was soon ready amid the laughter and noise of the three girls.

Including Bai Suqing lying on the couch, everyone in the valley was present.

First, each of them poured a glass of wine, and as usual, Gu Ke said the New Year's Eve dinner blessing: "Snow falls every year, snow falls every year. There is fun and hope, no disasters and no troubles. Come, everyone drink this cup."

The three girls smiled and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Gu Ke also took a small cup and poured her favorite peach wine for sister Bai, and his mind led the wine into her mouth.

Although she was in deep meditation, her throat instinctively swallowed the peach wine.

Gu Ke put down the cup and picked up a piece of purple-brown glutinous rice from the meat with chopsticks: "Okay, let's eat."

Xiao Man, who was ready to go, immediately picked up a piece of crystal clear pork belly with brown bean paste and stuffed it into her mouth. Baozi's face immediately showed an intoxicated expression.

The fat and meaty aroma of the pork belly mixed with the soft and sweet bean paste inside, she felt that she had opened the door to a new world.

It turns out that meat can also be sweet, and sweet can also be greasy.

This feeling is really wonderful.

Xiao Ping'er quietly took a piece away, and also ate with squinting eyes and a smile, her face full of happiness.

Sa Lanzhu only ate a piece and shook her head in disgust. She really didn't like such sweet meat.

Meat should be salty and fresh, or numb and spicy. How can it be considered meat if it is so sweet!

But seeing that Gu Ke had already picked up the glutinous rice under the second chopstick of meat, knowing that his taste was closer to hers, she immediately changed her target and picked up a chopstick of glutinous rice to eat.

The entrance is soft and sticky with glutinous rice, and there is a rich rice aroma. The oil and sweetness permeate the relatively bland rice grains, and the taste is very different.

This taste is right. Saranzhu was also satisfied.

Gu Ke was also satisfied.

Red bean paste is the simplest and most easily available dessert filling, and it is also very delicious.

Soybeans, red beans, and mung beans can all be used as raw materials, and the soft and sandy taste is taken.

The process is to cook until soft, then mash it into a paste, and then put it into the pot, first on medium heat and then on low heat, stir-fry frequently, remove excess water, and make it delicate and soft, and then take it out and cool it down, and the red bean paste is ready.

If you like sweet, you can add sugar when cooking or frying. If you like a thicker taste, you can use lard, and if you want a lighter taste, use vegetable oil.

Generally speaking, most desserts with red bean paste fillings use lard, and with white or slightly salty pancake skins, it is easier for people to feel that the red bean paste is more fragrant.

For example, the two little ones, just looking at their eating habits at the moment, are undoubtedly firm fans of lard and red bean paste.

The four people kept using their chopsticks, and in a few dozen breaths, they had swept the plate of meat with sand completely.

Xiaoman didn't even let go of the plate, took it over and swept it with blood, and the last small ball and scattered glutinous rice on it were all put into her bowl.

After tasting this New Year dish with the meaning of "sweet and sweet, abundant grains, and rich", the New Year's Eve dinner officially entered a leisure state.

Eating New Year's Eve dinner is never the most important thing, but reunion and companionship are.

Unlike last year, with Saranzhu, a six-foot-tall, energetic baby, the New Year's Eve dinner for these four and a half people is much more lively.

The New Year's Eve dinner was lively, and after eating, everyone didn't go back to the house, but gathered together to chat and stay up all night around the small oven.

Saranzhu made a three-person sofa according to the pattern recorded by Gu Ke in the text.

Of course, there must be more than three people who can actually sit.

At this moment, the four people squeezed on the sofa.

Gu Ke was in the middle, Xiao Ping'er was on the left, Xiao Man was on the right, and Saranzhu was on the far right.

Sleeping Beauty's sister Bai was placed on the left with her bamboo couch.

Because the two people on the right would occasionally have a little "internal fight" and occupied most of the territory, Gu Ke sat a little to the left.

Xiao Ping'er's petite body huddled on the left, feeling Gu Ke's body being bumped against her from time to time, and a smile appeared on her face.

Gu Ke found it interesting and reached out to stroke her back: "Why, do you like this sofa?"

Xiao Ping'er felt the familiar palm, nodded subconsciously, and hummed.

Her originally curled up body relaxed, and she didn't want to move at all lazily.

"How about playing for another year next year?" Gu Ke continued to tease her.

Xiao Ping'er's narrowed eyes suddenly widened: "Ah, still playing?"

She felt that playing like this all the time didn't seem good, even if she didn't slack off in her daily practice, she just felt like wasting time.

Gu Ke's hand pinched her neck, a bit like the action of picking up a cat, moving the elastic and energetic skin.

Xiao Ping'er softened like a cat again: "Well, then okay."

Gu Ke smiled: "You, you are just too anxious. Do you want Sister Bai to find that her strength is not as good as yours after waking up?"

Xiao Ping'er shook her head quickly: "No, no, I just think... too idle."

Gu Ke was speechless for a moment, and then said: "One adult and four children, five times a month, do you still feel idle?"

Xiao Ping'er leaned softly on him, exposing her head and neck to his eyes, just like a cat waiting to be stroked, and murmured: "With Ah Zhu's help, I am not too busy every time I come back from the stall."

"That's right, she has taken a lot of your original work." Gu Ke pondered, and couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Some people always don't want to be idle, and Xiao Ping'er is undoubtedly this kind of person.

It's not that they don't like to play, but because of various reasons, being busy can make them feel safe.

Xiao Ping'er didn't think so much at this moment, it was just his question and answer.

She quietly moved her arm away a little, letting her hot face rest on his legs.

The back of her neck was gently touched by a warm palm, and in front of her was a slightly red and jumping fire. There was also the howling north wind and heavy snow outside the doors and windows. For a moment, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she felt dizzy.

It was only because she was petite that if Saranzhu lay down like this, her head would hit Xiaoman's butt next to her.

After a while, Xiaoman on the other side was "defeated" again in the "internal fight" with Saranzhu, and "retreat" to him to rest, only to find that Xiaomei's face was flushed, her eyes were narrowed, and she seemed to be asleep.

She immediately intervened: "Old Gu, I want it too."

Xiao Ping'er still made do with the empty prone posture, and Xiaoman lay down on the sofa.

The upper body was on his right leg, and the lower body was "stuffed" behind Saranzhu.

She was like a big bug, twisting and turning on her side, trying to lean her head over, and trying to resist Saranzhu from throwing her legs off the sofa.

Gu Ke was amused, raised his hand and slapped her hindquarters: "Do you want to lie down, or do you want to continue playing?"

Xiaoman cried out in pain and stopped making a fuss.

Saranzhu rolled her eyes, suddenly lifted her body up, hugged her into her arms, and squeezed to Gu Ke's side: "Ah Gu, I want one too."

Gu Ke was speechless: You want a trick! Oh no, you two are childish tricks.

In the end, he sat in the middle, Xiao Ping'er lay on the left, and Xiaoman lay on the right.

The difference is that most of Xiaoman's body was still held by Saranzhu, and the two childish ghosts seemed to be unable to grow up, hugging each other and laughing there.

Xiaoman relied on her practice of hundreds of soft skills to bend her knees and flip her legs from time to time, and used her toes to secretly poke Saranzhu's buttocks.

When Saranzhu noticed it, she immediately grabbed the thigh in front of her with her hands.

Xiaoman raised her hands to resist, and twisted and dodge, even more noisy than before.

Feeling the impact of the surging waves, Gu Ke simply treated himself as a sofa pillow and let them go.

On the left hand side was Xiao Ping'er, who seemed to be unaware of it, lying very quietly, and it was very easy to stroke.

It was a night of wind and snow in the mountains, and it was time to push the snow to find spring.

So at midnight, the system prompt came as expected: "The New Year is coming, the New Year event is open, and the cave mansion is exclusive to the Lingquan experience card (limited to one day)."

Gu Ke was stunned: Lingquan? Exclusive to the cave mansion? The system baby actually hid this thing?

Immediately, the experience card was automatically activated, and within the range of the divine mind, changes of varying sizes occurred in various parts of the cave mansion.

He felt it for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Lingquan, is it like this?

On the other side, Saranzhu had already sat up soundlessly, closing her eyes and feeling everything that happened in the cave.
