Food conquers the world

In the next few days, Mrs. Huo Sen just sat in the courtyard and taught Zou Kai some spell formulas.Zou Kai found that the spells taught by Mrs. Huo Sen were very simple, similar to fireball and ice spells, which were very basic spells. As long as one knew the formula and how to control the mana in one's body, one could sing it out.

But Zou Kai was a little distracted when he learned the spells. First, these spells were very simple. Second, he knew that he was enthusiastic for 3 minutes. Most of the attention was devoted to Mrs. Hawson.

He found that Mrs. Huo Sen had been a little different in recent days. In the past, Mrs. Huo Sen was open-minded and calm. When she looked at you with kind eyes, you would feel that the difficulties and hardships in front of you were no big deal. An open-minded look.And the current Mrs. Huo Sen is too calm, her eyes are open-minded, a little empty, and even the time around her seems to be dying.

Moreover, Mrs. Huo Sen doesn't like to go out very much now. In the past, she would go out to have a tea party with a few old people, or do something for the neighbors, but now she basically doesn't go out.Zou Kai didn't know if it was because he wanted to teach him so he didn't go out, but now Mrs. Huo Sen's too empty eyes always made him feel uneasy.

I heard that when people are old, they know when the time is approaching. Mrs. Huo Sen may have seen the time, so she waited peacefully.

This is also the reason why Zou Kai couldn't concentrate on learning magic. He found that he had a very strong idea in his heart. He wanted to do something to make Mrs. Huo Sen live a long and healthy life.

Zou Kai was brought up by his grandma. From the perspective of outsiders, he has been a jerk since childhood. The so-called big mistakes do not make small mistakes. When he was in junior high school, he was proficient in fighting, smoking, drinking, and picking up girls.His grandma couldn't do anything about him. At the beginning, he beat and scolded him, so he simply didn't go home, and sometimes fought back, and his parents who were away all the year round didn't care about him.His grandma saw that she couldn't control this person, but later she simply ignored him, and he became more and more lawless.

It wasn't until later that he failed to pass the ordinary high school and was forced by his father, who hadn't been home for many years, to learn to be a cook from an acquaintance. His character restrained a little, but from the inside he was still a bastard who didn't have the idea of ​​showing respect to the elderly and caring for the elders. His grandma often scolded him that his conscience was eaten by dogs.

So now that Mrs. Huo Sen wanted the old man to feel better, Zou Kai was frightened by himself first, and spurned himself in his heart, "Have you developed a conscience?".

When he realized that he also had a conscience, he sat on a chair in the yard for a long time in a daze, thinking about where such a thing as conscience came from.

He thought of his youth, when he was just in junior high school, he was still a bastard who didn't understand anything, a kid from a richer family in his class brought a jade pendant to school to show off, he took it to see It was accidentally broken.The classmate was crying and asked him to pay for it, but the teacher happened to see it, so he called the parents directly.

Coincidentally, the call was received by his father who had come home with great difficulty. He was very scared and didn't know what to do. When he asked his parents, he wanted to ask his father what to do, but his father didn't say anything. He beat him up.After the beating, he went home and continued to beat him, so he hid in his grandma's room. Although his grandma protected him from being beaten, it was useless to scold him.

His grandma's mouth was not ordinary, and when he was scolded severely, Zou Kai's rebellious psychology came up, and he pushed his grandma, fell down, and then ran away.

His father left the next day, and when he ran back, his grandma still scolded him. At that time, he thought angrily, the more you don't let me do what I want, the more I will do.If you don't want me to smoke, I prefer to smoke, if you don't want me to drink, I prefer to drink, and if you don't let me play game consoles, I prefer to go.Once in contact with these, especially games, he became addicted to them, and went further and further on this path of bastard.

His family members are all strong and not gentle at all, and he has developed the ability to be a pig who is not afraid of boiling water in the confrontation with his family members. He doesn't know if he has warmth with his family members, maybe there is , but has been ignored by him during the rebellious period.When he looked back again, he had become a bastard in the eyes of others, who was invulnerable to guns and guns, and whose skin was thicker than a city wall.

But there is no doubt that he once longed for the warmth of his family. When he got into trouble, he also hoped that his family could patiently tell him not to do this, instead of scolding and beating him without asking why. He scolded, "How dare you talk back?", and was beaten even more painfully.

He didn't know if it was Mrs. Huo Sen who made up for the warmth that was missing in his youth. Mrs. Huo Sen embraced him with her tenderness that seemed to be able to tolerate everything, and often even made him feel a little overwhelmed.

Even so, he understands that he is still a jerk in essence. He didn't know that he was a jerk before, but now he knows that he can't change it, and he doesn't want to change it.

Zou Kai is not a person who will hurt winter and autumn. When he figured out where his feelings for Mrs. Huo Sen came from, he thought about what he could do, at least he could be better for the old man.

Then he came up with the idea of ​​the old hens that laid eggs in the Meyer family.

Maier also comes here every day at noon to learn cooking skills. Zou Kai asked Mel to cut potatoes and said, "Mair, those old hens in your family..."

Maier immediately looked at him vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"

"I just want to make chicken soup for Mrs. Huo Sen's body." Regarding Maier's reaction, Zou Kai waved his hand directly, "If you don't want to give it, then forget it."

"For Mrs. Huo Sen?" Maier thought for a while and said, "For Mrs. Huo Sen, I should tell my mother. And Mrs. Huo Sen's health is indeed getting worse. Last time you When we didn’t come, Mrs. Huo Sen suddenly fell down when she was moving a chair in the yard. At that time, we all thought that Mrs. Huo Sen couldn’t make it through, even the priest said so, but Mrs. Huo Sen survived, but her body It’s not as good as it used to be.”

Hearing this, Zou Kai's heart sank. He had seen many elderly people who were originally in good health. After a fall, their bodies gradually weakened, and they died soon. He still thought it was funny. Now it happened to Mrs. Hawson and he couldn't laugh anyway.

At this time, Zou Kai suddenly thought of Su Ge, who also lived in Mrs. Huo Sen's house. He remembered the apple tree that grew lushly in the yard that night and bloomed and bore fruit in a short while, so he immediately left Maier and ran to find Su Ge.

Su Ge usually works outside to help others, and now it's time for dinner, but he is at home. When he heard Zou Kai's intention, Su Ge shook his head and explained: "I can compress the life of flowers, plants and trees, but I can't do it." prolong their lives."

Seeing Zou Kai's regretful expression, Su Ge said again: "But I heard that the fruit of the dragon grass living in the forest of the world can prolong a person's life span."

Zou Kai's eyes lit up instantly, but then Su Ge said: "However, the dragon grass grows deep in the forest of the world, and it is not easy to find. I know that the root of the kudzu vine has the effect of delaying aging. Many nobles in Plains know it. It is not difficult to find this thing with the root of the kudzu vine, there are many around the forest of the world, I can help you find it."

"Thank you." Zou Kai smiled sincerely. He usually smiles cheaply and full of irony. Such a sincere smile is very rare.

"It's okay." Su Ge waved his hand generously, "We are friends."

"Hehe." Zou Kai smiled mockingly again.

The roots of hemp vines are really easy to find, and Zou Kai dug up more than a dozen in one afternoon.Ma vine roots are similar to radishes, but the skin is brown, but it is tender and juicy when cut, but the taste is slightly bitter.

Zou Kai washed the hemp vine roots and cut them into small pieces, and then prepared to make chicken soup for Mrs. Huo Sen.

Most stewing soups follow the same steps, but the chicken soup requires an extra step. It needs to be "passed" in water first, that is, to pass a pass in boiling water before scooping it up, which can remove some impurities on the chicken.

Zou Kai cut a whole hen into pieces and stewed in water with sliced ​​ginger, hemp vine root and shiitake mushrooms.The shiitake mushrooms were picked up by Maier at the outskirts of the Forest of the World. Last time, there were shiitake mushrooms in the mushrooms Maier picked up. Zou Kai originally wanted to dry them and keep them for roasting meat, but he didn’t know when the meat would be available, so he used them for stewing now. Got chicken soup.

The stewed chicken soup could have put some medicinal materials such as yams into it. At this time, he also asked Su Ge when he put the hemp vine root. Su Ge said that there is no problem. .

Seeing that Zou Kai brought the chicken soup, and the tableware was set up, and he made it clear that the soup was for her to eat alone, Mrs. Huo Sen was very surprised: "I can't finish all this soup by myself, and everyone has finished eating. "

Zou Kai said at this time: "You can eat by yourself, it's fine."

Seeing Zou Kai's tough attitude, Mrs. Huo Sen didn't need to say anything, she just smiled and said: "If you want to eat, you can serve it yourself."

Mrs. Huo Sen looked at Zou Kai several times during the meal, but when Zou Kai looked at her, she just smiled.

Zou Kai tried his best to nourish Mrs. Huo Sen. He ordered a few more chickens, and went to the river every day to catch fish with his crude magic to make soup for Mrs. Huo Sen, but this could not stop Mrs. Huo Sen from aging. .

Mrs. Huo Sen began to sit in the yard all day long, and sometimes it took her a long time to respond when you asked her something, or she didn't even know what you were talking about.

Zou Kai's heart sank day by day. He never thought of honoring his elders, but when he did it for the first time, he deeply felt the powerlessness of reality.

Unknowingly, a month later, Su Ge's injuries have healed a lot, but he still can't stand the bumps of the carriage, so he still lives in the town, but Mrs. Huo Sen's eyes are more and more serene, and now she is almost dead.

Zou Kai felt more and more powerless in his heart. He began to think about the dragon grass that Su Ge said. If he found the dragon grass, could Mrs. Huo Sen live longer?Once this idea came up, it became more and more intense in his mind like wildfire, until he finally couldn't help asking Su Ge how to find the dragon grass.

But Su Ge shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard about it, and I heard that the dragon grass that came here lives in the depths of the forest of the world that I have never been to. I have never been there, and I have never seen it. But, I can't get in either."

Zou Kai's heart was a little cold, he knew that Su Ge was very capable, if he couldn't get in...

"There is no dragon grass." Mrs. Huo Sen suddenly appeared at this time, and Zou Kai was taken aback. He naturally paid attention to Mrs. Huo Sen when he talked about dragon grass with Su Ge. He didn't see where Mrs. Huo Sen came from. When it came out, even Su Ge was surprised.

Mrs. Huo Sen watched them and repeated: "There is no dragon grass, that's a lie, Wilde gave everyone their due life, nothing can last, dragon grass is just a lie made up by people who are greedy for life and afraid of death You must know that you are satisfied. At my age, I already know my destiny, and it is also a happy thing to be able to return to Wilder's embrace as soon as possible."

"Mrs. Hosen..."

"So Kai, you don't have to be sad for me." Mrs. Huo Sen smiled calmly as always, but it was extremely sad in Zou Kai's eyes.

Zou Kai was silent, and it took a long time before he replied in an inaudible voice: "I understand."

"Then let's start today's lesson." Mrs. Hosen said.

Zou Kai didn't look up at her, but nodded silently. In fact, Mrs. Huo Sen had seldom taught him in the past few days. She said this suddenly today, and her spirits are still so good, Zou Kai suddenly felt a little uneasy.

However, before his uneasiness could expand, Maier's voice suddenly sounded outside the yard. The voice sounded very happy: "Mrs. Huo Sen! Teacher Kai, Master Su Ge! The prince has come to our village!"

Zou Kai was taken aback for a moment, wondering what the prince was doing in this remote village of Woliji, but Su Ge's expression changed, while Mrs. Huo Sen just smiled and asked: "Really?"
