Chapter 232 The Eldest Lady Returns

It is not yet known what is so magical about the specific spirit beast. Google search reading

But as a foodie, Gu Ke doesn't think that they simply taste good and they should have other uses.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of soul sources are temporarily retained.

Next, he will upgrade the roadside stall to level 19 and organize the fourth targeted stall every month.

In the past, the price/performance ratio of roadside stalls was low because the eldest lady had eaten all the weird things in the Northern Desert.

Now Gu Ke was eyeing the phantom and the large number of strange objects in the black mist passage.

If the monsters in the southeast were willing to give away more heads, he wouldn't mind changing the target of the soul source.

I can’t even think of earning seven figures every time, but it’s okay to have ten thousand or eight thousand.

After doing it thirty or forty times a year, you can make a small profit of three to five million soul sources.

This can also prevent the monsters from launching large-scale troops, quickly defeat the North and the South, and trigger the possibility of a chain collapse.

Achievements in one fell swoop, perfect plan.

…

Gu Ke thought very much, but until the end of the year, the group of strange objects near the black mist passage did not step out of the passage, so it was naturally impossible for them to go south.

After just one battle, the North Desert defense line inexplicably entered a period of calm again.

Different from the last time, many people feel that a storm is coming.

Monsters are not humans and will never coexist peacefully with humans and rule by demarcating boundaries.

They have a large number of troops but do not attack. It looks like they are accumulating strength.

The Immortal Mountain came to deal with the first batch of strange creatures. If they come next time, does it mean they have the strength or means to deal with the Immortal Mountain?

Gu Ke also expected this.

Anyway, I have vague perception, and I will sweep through the black mist channel area every hour, so I am not afraid of sneak attacks by strange things.

The real big thing is - the ten-year period has come, the Dragon King... ah no, the eldest lady and the others are coming back.

In the early morning of New Year's Eve, the four of them got up early to freshen up and finish some chores in advance.

Xiaoman also specialized in cooking, and under Gu Ke's guidance, he made a "special" breakfast.

As the white fish belly appeared on the horizon, the four of them stood in front of the small hut and waited quietly.

Finally, the red sun emerged, casting its light onto the snow-white extreme western plateau.

Gu Ke looked around at the three girls and Sister Bai who was lying high in the purple bamboo pavilion: "Are you ready? I'm going to open the door."

The three women nodded in unison.

As soon as he thought about it, the big stone door at the passage slid open silently.

After a few breaths, two Zizhu speed cars passed through the passage.

After a slight pause, they flew towards the waist of Jade Dragon Peak.

After a little tilt, the speeding car landed on the stone platform.

The eldest lady in the car suppressed her feet that were about to move and tried to keep them at the smoothest pace. She walked down from the car with a flawless manner.

Well, the eldest lady is still as arrogant as ever. A smile appeared on Gu Ke's face, and he handed over his hands: "After ten years of separation, Dong Jun's grace is even better than before."

How am I doing outside, don’t you know? The eldest lady resisted the urge to roll her eyes and returned the favor in the same way: "It's all up to Brother Gu to take care of me. I'm ashamed of myself."

Seeing this, everyone had strange expressions and seemed to be suppressing laughter.

Gu Ke just ignored him and stretched out his hand to signal: "Breakfast is ready, let's chat while eating."

Soon everyone sat down at the big round table in the small hut.

Purple wheat steamed buns, flower rolls, and steamed buns were placed in small bamboo baskets on the table. Next to them were multigrain porridge, tofu curd, and various cold side dishes.

The eldest lady and Mei Lan Zhu Ju looked surprised: Isn't this the most common breakfast that everyone eats when they first arrive in Yulong Valley?

Except that the quantity is smaller and the appearance and color look more refined, the rest are almost the same.

Ten years ago, everyone was like this, gathering together at sunrise, enjoying a simple and filling breakfast, and then... working, practicing martial arts, and doing things.

The first days were a bit difficult, but also interesting, and it changed everyone's future.

For a time, many thoughts came to my heart.

So after having breakfast, we went to visit Sister Bai, the Sleeping Beauty, and everyone chose... to work in the fields.

It doesn't matter whether you remember the bitter and sweet, or relive the past, everyone just did what they thought of.

Fairy fields are special perennial crops, and most of them are not in the picking period.

Everyone just went in and randomly picked some perilla, mint, onions, ginger and garlic that can be used daily.

Xiaoman also picked a red pomegranate fruit on the spot, cut it open and shared it with the girls.

Xiao Ping'er and Salan Zhu looked at the show with a look in their eyes, and the movement of delivering the fruits to their mouths was obviously slow, and they stuffed them in without chewing them.

When Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum saw that the red pomegranate fruit was as red as blood and had a rich fruity aroma, it was more attractive than before when it was ripe, so she subconsciously put it in her mouth and started chewing it.

The entrance is full of red fruit aroma, followed by a light sweetness like rock candy.

The four girls' eyebrows relaxed, enjoying themselves very much.

But after a few breaths, the coolness became more obvious, the sweetness quickly faded, and a sour taste quickly rose and expanded, lingering in the mouth.

The coolness promotes the sour taste, which seems to penetrate the tongue and go straight into the brain, making people involuntarily feel excited and goosebumps arise.

The faces of Mei Lan, Zhu and Ju all wrinkled together, and they all stared at Xiao Man.

But he saw that she had a similar expression, but mixed with a hint of joy.

Looking at them, she said while shaking her head: "After you become a Martial Lord, it's hard to shake your soul. This ice-condensed red mango fruit is a special species. Even if you eat it sourly, you will be in good spirits afterwards."

Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum felt it, and found that under this burst of stimulation, their spirit was as clear and agile as a spiritual spring.

Juqin wrinkled her face and spoke with difficulty: "Yes, but this is too sour."

"Swallow it, it will be fine after a while." Xiao Man reminded, and then confirmed: "It is indeed very sour, so Lao Gu uses the frozen red pomegranate fruit to make wine or squeeze the juice into medicine, and will not eat it directly. of."

Juqin got angry: "Then you still let us eat it directly?"

Xiao Man blinked: "Because this is the only ripe fruit. The other unripe fruits are also very sour, which is not good. Isn't that white sour?"

Everyone: ...This is indeed very reasonable, as if Xiao Man could say it.

After the small episode, the girls no longer dared to "taste" those special crops at will.

After all, I haven't touched the fairy fields in ten years, and the special crops here have undergone tremendous changes in the Sekirei fairy fields.

The ones that Gu Ke "expressed" to the eldest lady were almost all finished products.

I really don’t know what plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum taste like before they are processed.

So, everyone moved to ordinary fields.

The number of ordinary fields in the cave has gradually increased, and now the number has reached more than 3,000 acres. There is never enough work in it.

And the main varieties are purple wheat, black beans, potatoes, and rouge rice. The varieties are essentially the same as ten years ago, and they have worked on them all.

The eldest lady also followed Gu Ke. The two chatted quietly, loosening the soil and watering the water.

She has not personally farmed in these years, but she has always paid attention to Taiping Village. In her previous life, she was at least a qualified cloud farmer.

Of course, "minor" mistakes still happen from time to time.

For example, when visiting the medicinal field, Gu Ke had to remind: "That is Jade Bone Dilong grass. You only need to water it once every five days in winter. Today is only the third day."

The eldest lady Gu Jie moved her fingers lightly, quietly releasing a trace of blood energy, evaporating the water that had just been sprinkled.

"This is the yellow-skinned Scrophulariaceae. The ginseng fruit looks beautiful but tastes extremely bitter. It is used as medicine."

The eldest lady had a really sad face and stuffed the ginseng fruit with teeth marks in her hand into the Qiankun bag.

"This is purple-skinned sugar cane. Well, it's very sweet and can be eaten." As he said this, someone pulled out a sugar cane and split it into two pieces: "This end is sweeter by the root. Which end do you want?"

Why didn't you say that the end near the root is thicker? The eldest lady snorted in dissatisfaction and grabbed the upper part: "How do you want to eat this?"

Gu Ke took the arm-like sugar cane there, bit the skin with his teeth, tore off a piece of sugar cane skin, and spit it on the ground.

Repeat several times, and a section of white sugar cane core will be exposed.

With one bite, applying force with both hands and mouth, the core of the sugar cane snaps.

He chewed hard, then took another puff and spit out the bagasse: "Just eat it like this."

Miss:? ? ? ┌(﹀_﹀”)┙Believe it or not, I will knock you to death with sugar cane right away!

Shao Qing, Gu Ke and the eldest lady each held half of a five-foot-long sugar cane, and they clicked the top to take a bite.

For example, two knights holding long swords continue to "run rampant" in the fields, which can be said to be heroic.

There was no way, after Gu Ke tore open the outer skin, the white jade-like sugarcane core released a strange sweet fragrance.

When it is not yet ripe, it is not as fruity and fruity, but has the sobriety of a fresh herb.

After biting into her mouth, the eldest lady discovered that it was not particularly sweet. The sufficient moisture and fresh grassy aroma diluted the sweetness.

She's not too fond of sweets and can totally accept it.

But she didn't want to bare her teeth and peel the sugar cane, so she used her blood to peel it and cut it into sections. Then she threw the smaller pieces into her mouth and chewed them.

After chewing, you should not spit out the bagasse randomly. You have to block it with your hands, spit it into your hands and then throw it away.

Anyway, there is blood covering the palms, so the hands will not get dirty.

Sure enough, practicing martial arts can lead to a more convenient and comfortable life. The eldest lady couldn't help but repeat someone's mantra in her mind.

Gu Ke and the eldest lady walked together, and the others also formed their own teams and acted separately.

Xiaoman took Mei Shujuqin while working, and took a look around.

In addition to the work in the fields, there are also livestock farms where you can catch fish, shrimps and crabs, collect eggs, and ride cattle and horses.

Then go to the lake to dig out lotus roots and get some star honey. These are the ingredients for lunch.

Xiao Ping'er took the orchid paintings, visited her personal embroidery workshop, and then went to the study to look through the collection of books.

It's snowing outside, and there are snacks and hot tea inside. It's a good time to relax with poems and books on the pillow, and the scenery in front of the door is perfect when the rain comes.

Zhuqi followed Salanzhu, checking various raw materials in the warehouse, and watching the manufacturing process in the workshops and processing workshops.

During this period, questions such as the output and quality of raw materials, how to process and manufacture them, and the feedback after the transaction were constantly raised were raised.

Only Salanzhu, the mansion spirit, can deal with these easily.

Anyway, these are all recorded in the dictionary, so she can just follow the script.

Bamboo Chess is also more inclined to be a leader. It only understands the technology itself and will not get to the bottom of it.

Her questions are all based on practicality and combat considerations.

One of the things Salanzhu is good at is data statistics and analysis, and he can be called the best tool person.

A series of questions and answers made Zhuqi happy and satisfied.

When she was in Taipingzhai, she also helped train some middle- and low-level officers and stewards, and even an ordinary entry and exit account was messed up.

Then I went through it again and found that there was not one wrongdoer, but a series of mistakes.

The workload of correcting them one by one is astonishing, not to mention correcting them one by one. The problem is that mistakes can be corrected even if they are corrected.

Fortunately, a group of qualified candidates were trained later, and the task of Zhuqi changed from direct teaching to supervision and spot inspection.

Just find faults and don't take responsibility for teaching, and those painful days are over.

But if Zhuqi goes to the battlefield, one of the ideal military counselors is someone like Saranzhu.

All data comes out immediately, without waiting, which greatly saves the decision maker's time and energy.

It is impossible to poach people.

Saranzhu turned out to be a fool. After being rescued by Gu Ke, he would definitely not go out of Yulong Valley with them.

Zhuqi was just greedy for a while.

In fact, the eldest lady and the others had made an appointment in advance when they returned to the cave, and Gu Ke and others had arranged the affairs early.

For work like this in the field, it would not affect much if it was done two days later.

Dispersed actions are also convenient for internal communication among the women.

For example, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju went to the bathroom that they had been dreaming about... one after another.

The characteristics of Yijin Xisui are really memorable, and the effect is even more unforgettable.

Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju have not experienced it for a long time, and the bathroom has been upgraded to level 15 with characteristics +3, which is much stronger than the characteristics +1 at level 5.

After the four girls came out, they lay on the bamboo couch for two cups of tea before they gradually came out of their state of being completely limp.

Fortunately, Gu Ke was not "at the scene", so they did not need to hide it from the two children.

For example, when Xiaoman talked about her experience of using the bathroom... well, she was blocked by Mei Shu and Juqin after a few words.

They had just experienced the feeling of being full of joy and rushing down, and it was too familiar, so there was no need for Xiaoman to repeat it again.

Lunch was placed on the island in the middle of the lake, which was the center of the lake where Xiaoman and Saranzhu played water (ice) amusement park.

Juqin looked excited when she heard Xiaoman and Saranzhu talk about playing in the water in summer and skating in winter.

The eldest lady and the three ladies of Mei, Lan and Zhu looked calmer, but they did not look indifferent when they listened attentively.

After dinner, everyone was free to rest and move around for an hour.

In fact, Gu Ke stayed in the study to give the eldest lady a chance to go to the bathroom.

After that, the eldest lady and her friends had a more formal competition with Xiaoman and the other two.

Xiao Ping'er and the eldest lady are both martial saints. If they go all out, they can turn over the entire valley, so they just tried their best and didn't win.

But Gu Ke could feel that the eldest lady was much stronger than Xiao Ping'er.

It's not that she can crush her, but it's not difficult to suppress her in all aspects.

This is because the Sunflower Sutra and the Blood Sea Red Lotus Collection are of the same origin.

In addition, the eldest lady has carefully studied the Blood Sea Red Lotus Collection, but Xiao Ping'er has never read the Sunflower Sutra.

If someone else comes, even if he has the same strength as the eldest lady, Xiao Ping'er will at most be at a disadvantage, and it is impossible for her to be completely suppressed.

The eldest lady in question sincerely praised Xiao Ping'er.

Twenty years ago, Xiao Ping'er hadn't practiced martial arts, but now she is at the same level as her.

Looking at the entire Dawu, there is only one person like her.

Xiao Ping'er was not very depressed.

For her, there is no difference between practicing martial arts and working.

She took her habit seriously mainly because she didn't want to disappoint Gu Ke and she had no interest in competing.

Sa Lanzhu had no interest in sparring and only used her Wuji Battle Body to fight with the eldest lady for a few rounds.
