Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 611 515. This terrible taste
Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then stared blankly at the cauldron.

The pot was surrounded by some rags to prevent the heat from escaping, so Li Xiao couldn't smell it.

But if you think about it, you know it won't taste good, but now the matter is a foregone conclusion, even if you know it won't taste good, it's useless.

So in Li Xiao's very uneasy mood, the pot boiled over.

Xiao Mumu didn't notice Li Xiao's mood at all, and excitedly opened the pot, and a large bowl of meat came out, including chicken and rabbit meat.

While they were waiting for the meat, Xiao Mumu had already taken the rice from Li Xiao's hand and cooked it in a small pot next to it.

Li Xiao and Chen Xu brought rice and meat to the table, and Xiaomu filled a big bowl of rice for each of them.

Li Xiao took a sip, and the rice was okay, a little hard, but it wasn't a big problem. On the contrary, what pleased him most was that the rice made in this kind of pot still left a layer of rice crusts at the bottom of the pot.

Then there is the bowl of meat on the table.

Li Xiao really didn't have the courage to lower his chopsticks.

Chen Xu didn't think too much about it. Seeing that the little wood was eating happily, he took a bite and put it in his mouth without any hesitation.

As soon as a mouthful of rabbit meat was put into his mouth, Chen Xu's expression changed, and then his Adam's apple slid up and down, then quickly recovered his expression, and looked at Li Xiao.

"Xiaoxiaozi, take a sip, it tastes great." After speaking, Chen Xu gave Li Xiao a thumbs up.

Li Xiao sneered, he would be a ghost if he believed it, and the facial features on his face were almost crowded together.

So Li Xiao smiled, and quickly picked up several pieces of meat for Chen Xu.

"You like it? If you like it, eat more!"

Chen Xu looked at the several pieces of meat in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The little wood on the side was very unclear, so, "What's the matter? Brother Xiao, Brother Chen? Aren't you hungry?"

Chen Xu twitched the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, saying that he was lying if he wasn't hungry, but it was true that he didn't want to eat.

At this time, Xiao Mu also came to his senses, "Isn't it, I shouldn't do this?"

Little Wood looked at the meat on the table, and slowly lowered his head, "It's the first time I've caught so many things, and I don't know how to handle them, so I can only put them together."

Li Xiao sighed, he would definitely not be able to eat it if he was allowed to eat it, so he asked, "Is that rabbit stewed?"

Little Wood shook his head, "I kept half of it, and I plan to eat it at night, it will go bad if left too long."

Li Xiao nodded, and then looked at Xiao Mumu, "If I ask you to give this meat to the children in the village, is it okay?"

Little Wood was taken aback, then nodded.

In fact, if he caught these things by himself, he would definitely give some to those aunts who were kind to him around him, but because Li Xiao and Chen Xu were both there this time, and they were the prey they went to catch together, so he didn't Do this, after all, these things are not his own.

Li Xiao looked at Xiao Mumu's well-behaved and sensible appearance, touched his head with some distress, and then picked out some chicken from the pot.

The reason why this pot of meat is not tasty is because the smell of the rabbit is too strong, so the whole pot has this smell. Although the chicken is somewhat contaminated, it is somewhat better.

So Li Xiao kept some chicken, planning to see if he could save it later, he was afraid that half a rabbit would not be enough for them to eat.

Xiaomu took a small basin with a small basin and sent it to the next door. After a while, he came back with an empty basin, filled it up and took it out. Just like this, he sent out one basin after another.

Li Xiao took advantage of this time to stir-fry the rabbit meat. Those chickens were thinking that it would be impossible to stew the soup, so they also fried it into spicy chicken.

This spicy thing will cover up the smell of the rabbit.

So when Xiaomu came back after delivering the last family, there were already two bright red dishes on the table.

Li Xiao hurriedly called him over to eat.

I saw that Xiao Mumu picked up the rabbit meat with his chopsticks carefully, and took a tentative bite, and then his eyes lit up, and he took another bite.

Seeing that he liked it, Li Xiao smiled, and was about to ask Chen Xu how it tasted, when he saw that Chen Xu's mouth was already dripping with oil.

So Li Xiao hurriedly joined the meat grabbing team.

Xiao Muzhu had never eaten spicy food before, and now he was sweating and his mouth was red, but he still kept taking one bite after another.

On the other hand, Chen Xu was a lover of spicy food, he ate very vigorously, and even gave Li Xiao a thumbs up.

"You rabbit is fine, the taste is quite good."

Li Xiao smiled, "Eat yours!"

A few people ate their stomachs round after a while, and Xiao Mumu took the bowl to wash it very sensiblely. Li Xiao and Chen Xu were bored staying there, so they planned to take a stroll around.

As a result, as soon as I opened the door, I saw a lot of things piled up at the door, including eggs, brown sugar, and some clothes. I guess they should be gifts from those who collected the meat.

Although the pot of meat is not tasty, it is still meat. If they want to eat meat, they can only go out and buy it besides going to the forest.

Chen Xu yelled into the house, told Xiao Mumu to put away the things, and then took Li Xiao to the only barefoot doctor in the village. Just now, Xiao Mumu also sent meat to his house.

So when Li Xiao and Chen Xu passed by, this old man was struggling with a piece of chicken, which had too many bones and was not easy to chew.

Seeing someone coming in, the old doctor quickly put down the meat in his hand, and cleared his throat pretentiously.

"Ah, you are?"

Chen Xu stepped forward first, and held the old doctor's hand, "Master, do you still remember me? I'm Xiao Xu."

"Xiao Xu?" The old doctor took Chen Xu's hand, looked up and down, and then suddenly realized, "It's you, the one that fell from above."

Chen Xu nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, it's me!"

The old man patted the back of Chen Xu's hand, "Ah, it's good, it's good, I can't drink so much alcohol in the future, if I drink too much, don't run around, otherwise it will be too dangerous if I accidentally fall somewhere !"

Drank too much?Li Xiao looked at Chen Xu suspiciously.

That's not what he said before.

Feeling Li Xiao's gaze, Chen Xu couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and quickly pulled his hand out of the old doctor's hand.

"Okay, okay, let's not mention this, this meat tastes good, right?"

When the old doctor heard what Chen Xu said, he immediately frowned and began to feel Chen Xu's pulse.

Chen Xu was taken aback, and couldn't help feeling very nervous, "Master, what's wrong, I am... Am I suffering from some incurable disease?"

The old doctor didn't speak, but just took his pulse quietly. Chen Xu didn't dare to speak after this battle.

After a while, the old doctor withdrew his hand, and Chen Xu hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong with me, what do you see?"

He felt a little uneasy.

I am not afraid that the old Chinese medicine doctor will speak yellow accents to you, but I am most worried that the old Chinese medicine doctor will frown and not speak.

The old doctor frowned and shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with it, is it a disease that even I can't feel it?!"

Hearing what the old doctor said, Chen Xu was taken aback, "Master, don't scare me!"

Before he was thrown, he had internal bleeding, and this old doctor rescued him. I heard that he also rescued many difficult patients before, and even cured a patient with pre-cancer.

It's too scary for such an old Chinese doctor to say that he can't figure out what kind of disease he has.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu's back felt chills. Could it be... he had some terminal illness?
Li Xiao listened in a daze, and he didn't know the old doctor's glorious deeds, so he asked directly: "Master, did you see that there is something wrong with him?"

The old doctor nodded, "Yes, there is nothing wrong."

When Chen Xu heard this, he was very anxious, "Master, what's wrong with me!"

The old doctor shook his head, "You can tell that the meat tastes good like this. I'm afraid there is something wrong with your body that makes you unable to taste the taste."

Hearing that this was the case, Li Xiao couldn't hold back and laughed outright.

"Pfft! Hahahahaha!"

Chen Xu also helplessly helped his forehead.

"Master! Stop joking, I'm almost scared to death by you!"

The old doctor also smiled "haha", "Hey, I'm just kidding you, how could there be a disease that I can't see!"

Looking at the old doctor, Li Xiao always felt that this person was unusual, so he asked, "Master, I think this village is all Han, not Tibetan."

When Chen Xu heard Li Xiao asking this, he couldn't help being a little surprised. Didn't he explain it before, why not?
Li Xiao didn't have time to explain to him, so he gave him a look, signaling him not to speak yet, and Chen Xu obediently shut his mouth.

The old doctor stroked his beard, "Don't mention it, we were only in a small county before, but there was a big earthquake, so we ran here."

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, "There was an earthquake, you are not waiting for rescue where you are, running this way?"

The old doctor paused with his hand touching his beard, and then sighed faintly.

"Since you want to know, then take it as hearing a story. Anyway, it happened many years ago."

The old doctor sighed, and looked into the distance with unfocused eyes.

"Actually, our group of people all ran out of the stockade before."

Hearing that the old doctor said it was a village, Li Xiao had the answer in his heart. There is no doubt that it was probably the bandits' cottage.

The old doctor stroked his beard again, "It is reasonable to say that it has been several generations, and it is already peaceful now, we can move out, but the bad thing is that we can register these children for them. "

"And a lot of people are just dogs who can't change and eat shit! Some went out to the society and finally found a job, but ended up sneaking around and getting sent to the police."

Li Xiao's heart skipped a beat, "You mean?"

The old doctor nodded, "Yes, we are talking about that kid named Xiao Mumu. That kid is a poor boy. We were very happy when his parents went out. They were the first batch of people who went out, so they gave everyone a call." It looked like this, but unexpectedly, they went straight to robbing other people's banks."

Both Li Xiao and Chen Xu's eyes widened. Does anyone dare to rob a bank these days?Or two people? !
The old doctor also seemed to see their inconceivability, and he couldn't help but sighed.

"Speaking of it, it's also the fault of us old people. We are always afraid of what to do if someone outside keeps looking for us, so we dare not go out, and we dare not let the juniors go out, so we let them be so blind and ignorant, thinking that it is us outside. The era in the mouth!"

"I thought it was the chaotic era before, when anyone could do evil!"

Li Xiao sighed, this person is too courageous, but now he is even more curious, "They succeeded?"

The old doctor shook his head, and looked at Li Xiao with a look like a madman.

"How is it possible? They are not invulnerable, let alone infinitely capable. How can they succeed."

Li Xiao also thought it was impossible, but he just asked subconsciously. As for looking at him like that?

"So the two of them were arrested. Only I know about this. I haven't told Xiaomu all this time. After all, it's useless to talk to him. It's just adding trouble. Anyway, he's doing well now. .”

Li Xiao didn't know how to evaluate this matter, so he could only sigh and shook his head, but Chen Xu, after thinking about it, asked, "Why don't you talk to Xiaomu?"

Li Xiao shook his head, and the old doctor quickly refused, saying: "That kid is sensitive, if you talk to him directly, I'm afraid he will feel ashamed that his parents have done that kind of thing."

When Chen Xu heard this, he dismissed the idea.

The two ate a melon at the old doctor's place, stayed for a while, and then left. Before leaving, Li Xiao didn't know why, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking of many novels that encountered such plots. Every now and then, there will be a protagonist eavesdropping here.

So Li Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, and subconsciously glanced at the open space next to the house, only to see that it was empty and there was nothing there.

Li Xiao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had read too many novels and thought about these things. Just at this moment, Chen Xu was also calling him, so Li Xiao left without saying anything.

However, what Li Xiao didn't see was that there was a string of small footprints behind a crooked tree in the open space.

The two returned to Xiaomu's house, only to see Xiaomu sitting outside basking in the sun.

Seeing Li Xiao, she moved to Xiaomu's side.

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

Little Wood looked at Li Xiao, "Anything is fine."

Li Xiao nodded, so they went to the grove again. They were also lucky and caught another litter of rabbits, and the female rabbit in that nest was also pregnant.

Li Xiao took the male rabbit away and gave the female rabbit with cubs to the old doctor. Presumably no one would want to offend the only doctor in the village.

I have to say that Li Xiao was right. Not only did he not, but many people saw that the old doctor had raised rabbits, and they would always pick up two handfuls of grass, tree leaves or something and throw them at the rabbit.
