The Republic of China Demon Cloud Records

Chapter 41 The New Year's Eve Dinner Together

Tangxi hung the empty picture scroll in her bedroom. After the last incident, she finally chose to temporarily let Zhilan have some freedom. Her life is only a hundred years, and one person and one demon made a blood oath, which is equivalent to a hundred years later , Zhilan will go to the original way.

What is love? Tangxi watched Captain Hu arrest several people who caused trouble in the dance hall, and saw Zhilan crying and tired, leaning on Yuankuo's arms and falling asleep. She was a little curious, what was it like? It is only because of the emotions that this big monster looks like a little girl.

Yu Yuankuo took over the dance hall, Bai Meigui seems to have packed up her things and went to other places, Zhilan is still the fortune star at the finale of the dance hall, but she has another identity, that is, the proprietress.

Tangxi asked Zhilan one last time: "Human monsters have different ways, what will you do after a hundred years of doing this?"

She remembered that Zhilan pinched her face and thought for a while, and said, "Let me in a hundred years bear the feelings of a hundred years from now."

The greatest talent and skill of a vixen is probably to be at ease with the situation. She can't remember the past, and she doesn't worry about what will happen in the future. She just wants to hold the people and things she likes tightly in her hands.

Tangxi still looked ignorant, but Zhilan smiled and tapped her forehead with her index finger, with a malicious smile: "Mr. Xiao, you will understand soon."

Seeing the doubts on Tangxi's face, Zhilan was a little helpless. After all, she was still a little girl who was still in love, she said softly: "I saw that you are about to meet your own peach blossom, the red luan star is moving! .”

Tangxi's face turned red immediately, she half suspected that Zhilan was scaring her, half believed it was true, and it happened that Yu Yuankuo rushed back from the dance hall to accompany her to have lunch, Tangxi couldn't bear the pink bubble and carried it The bag is gone.

Knowing that the red luan star she hit was about to move, Tangxi didn't feel anything. She wasn't curious about what her future lover would look like, but was thinking more seriously about how to spend the New Year.

Su Yu'er has prepared all the new year's goods at home, as well as gifts from the county magistrate's house, Captain Hu's house and the commander's house. There are also fresh ingredients in the back kitchen. Although individuals are considered colleagues, there is no common topic.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Tangxi decided to prepare more delicious food and blocked his mouth. It is probably good to eat to his heart's content.

I want to eat both delicious and convenient, the most suitable food for that night is - hot pot.

It is a mandarin duck pot in the Sichuan-Chongqing region. The iron pot made of brass is separated in the middle, and it looks like a Tai Chi style from the top to the bottom.

She rolled up her sleeves, first put the beef and mutton on the cutting board, cut them into two large plates, and then put the meat outdoors for natural freezing.

I also washed some mushrooms and vegetables. These vegetables are more in demand this season. Many people in Luyi County rely on pickled vegetables, pickled radishes and potatoes to survive the winter, but the vegetables in Tangxi are all fresh products provided by the Yaozu.

I don't know how it was cultivated. There are all kinds of mushrooms in this season, as well as baby vegetables, spinach, and lettuce that can squeeze out water.Thinly sliced ​​potatoes, white radishes, etc.

Pork has pork spine cut into small pieces, and some wild meat. Tangxi uses fish meat to hang soup, adds tomatoes and some mushrooms, and prepares the bottom of the pot.

Then I went to buy a large piece of butter, and a lot of chili peppers to fry, and made a red oil pot bottom.

There was only one large table left in the teahouse, with a stove in the middle of the table.Tangxi prepared everything, and also prepared a lot of dim sum. Zhilan is an expert in this regard, and Yu Yuankuo gave away almost all the delicious things she tasted with her tongue.

And before Su Yuer left, she was afraid that Tangxi would be too lazy to cook, so she also made a lot of Chinese snacks, such as red bean balls, butterfly cakes, milk cakes and the like.

After all, it was piled up to the brim, Tangxi put his hands in the hot water and soaked it for a while, and when his whole body was warmed up, he lit up the lantern in the room, nestled on the chair and waited for Sui Ren to come to the door.

About halfway through the script, there was finally a sound outside the teahouse. His spiritual sense sensed that Sui Ren was coming, and Tangxi didn't bother to go out, so he opened the door with a wave of his hand.

Sui Ren was a little nervous at first, but after the door opened, he felt a little lost without Tangxi's figure. He couldn't see anything clearly on his face, but walked into the room calmly.

Tangxi was still curled up on the chair to read a book, and when Sui Ren walked over, he reluctantly put down the book, raised his face and said, "Happy New Year."

Sui Ren looked at the food on the table, thinking that Tangxi had spent a lot of effort: "You have prepared so many things." He wanted to say that he was not of help, but he couldn't say it.

Tangxi's thoughts were delicate, and he guessed Sui Ren's scruples just by looking at Sui Ren's expression, and said, "It's Chinese New Year, of course you have to eat better, there are a lot of ingredients left by Su Yuer and the others before they left, and today I also Lazy, we just eat hot pot, it doesn't take much effort."

Sui Ren's face relaxed a little, but he still added: "I'll clean up after I finish eating in a while."

Naturally, Tangxi would not refuse, she wanted to find someone to spend the New Year with, but she didn't intend to serve Sui Ren like an old woman, so she nodded in response, and beckoned him to sit down with a smile on her face: "Sit down quickly, We can eat when you come."

Sui Ren sat down, took out a mahogany box from his pocket, and said with an unnatural expression: "This is a New Year's gift."

At the end, I added a sentence: "This is what my master asked you to prepare."

As if she wanted to separate herself from the relationship, Tangxi didn't care, took the gift and asked, "Can I take it apart and have a look?"

She was really curious about what little thing this Ling Yi would give her, Sui Ren nodded, with anticipation and nervousness in his eyes unconsciously.

Although I told Tangxi that this was chosen by Ling Yi, it was also Sui Ren's method. He was confronted with Tangxi's inexplicable thin-skinned, arrogant and awkward.

Tangxi opened the mahogany box, and there was a white fruit lying quietly inside. The fruit had a milky fragrance, and it exuded a white light. In Tangxi's eyes, this fruit was full of aura.

"Excuse me... so, such a precious thing." This kind of fruit was very famous among cultivators earlier, and it was called the fruit of washing marrow.

The fruit of washing the pith is very sweet, it can mend the meridians, and it can also calm the surge of spiritual power. When you are getting started and ascending, everyone can take one to help you get through it successfully.

This kind of fruit is indeed luxuriant at the beginning, but the growing environment gradually deteriorates. After the spiritual power starts to thin, the growth conditions are not satisfied, and the marrow-washing fruit becomes less and less common. It can be said that it is hard to find.

Tangxi likes it very much. She is not bad at anything, except for these small things of cultivation. She also has that kind of physique with excessive spiritual energy. She often takes medicine to recuperate. The pith fruit tastes good.

The smile on her face suddenly enlarged, and her eyes were full of smiles: "Thank you, and thank you Master for me too."

The corners of Sui Ren's lips also raised slightly, and he nodded. The two-color soup in the copper pot was gurgling and boiling, steaming steam and fragrance came out, and the room was warm, and he felt very comfortable in his heart .

At the beginning, Sui Ren had no real feelings about Chinese New Year, and he didn’t have fixed holidays in his line of work. Sometimes he went out to get rid of demons during Chinese New Year. If he didn’t get rid of demons, he would have a meal with the master. The master and apprentice would probably choose a place suitable for practicing. , Learn from each other, so the taste of the year will not be too strong.

But sitting here today, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.Even my stomach growled, and saliva was secreted from my mouth.

Tangxi put away the marrow-washing fruit, then picked up chopsticks to invite Sui Ren to have a meal together, the two of them ate hot fish balls and shrimp meat, ribs and beef slices, and the vegetables were poured out.

Tangxi likes spicy food very much, but Sui Ren is not very good at spicy food. At first Tangxi advised him: "Don't eat spicy food, this is Sichuan and Chongqing pepper, I put a lot of it in, you may eat it I'm not used to it."

Sui Ren paused holding the chopsticks, carefully looked at the side where the red oil was rolling, and said a little unbelievingly: "It's the first time I eat this kind of soup. I ate mutton soup pot before. I tried it." Try it."

Tangxi saw that he was very interested, so she didn't stop him. Instead, she stared at Sui Ren with her bright eyes, wondering how he would react. Just now, she felt a little hot when she put the sliced ​​meat into her mouth. The fragrance is very strong, and then the tip of the tongue is filled with a spicy energy.

One face turned red, the spicy taste is a bit choking, although the taste is good, but eating too much should not be a blessing, but Tangxi didn't see it, and said in his mouth: "It's delicious, eat more this."

He picked up a lot of ribs, fish balls, shrimp meat and quail eggs and piled a bowl full for Sui Ren. With a warm smile, Sui Ren swallowed the words of refusal and forced himself to stuff the food into his mouth.

His lips became redder than usual, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose. The smell of chili was a bit choking, and Sui Ren's eyes were filled with tears. .It's a bit more popular than the usual cold look.

Seeing that Tangxi was going to pick up some food for himself, he swallowed the food in his mouth indiscriminately, and then said: "Cough, Tangxi, slow down, it's a bit... hiss, spicy."

Tangxi was taken aback by the fact that he suddenly called her name. When she looked up, she noticed the strangeness of the other party and said a little funnyly: "Yes, yes, you didn't call me earlier."

Then he thoughtfully picked up the empty bowl and scooped up a bowl full of broth for him: "Drink this quickly, and let it go."

The tips of Sui Ren's ears turned red again. While looking at the white soup, which seemed to reflect his panicked appearance, he let out a long breath and poured the soup in one go.

It was a silly feeling that burned his heart, but the spicy taste in his mouth was indeed diluted a lot. Tangxi looked at him, almost unable to stop laughing, Sui Ren was also surprised to find that he was not angry at all, instead, On the contrary, because of this smiling face, he unconsciously became happy.
