Chapter 429 Winter Solstice and the Little Girl Who Endures Humiliation

The winter solstice is here, and Yujing is still snowing heavily.

Chen Shu still makes mutton soup, which is a tradition in Yiguo, and it has become a must-do for him every year.

The only difference from previous years is that this year, Daoyou Huang used the high-quality mutton transported by air from Dongzhou, and Chen Shu took half a catty of wisdom tea from the neighbor next door and sent it to Dongzhou for her in exchange.In terms of value, Zhicha is naturally higher, but Yiguo can’t buy such good mutton, and Dongzhou can’t buy Zhicha, so it can be regarded as an exchange of gifts between friends, and it doesn’t matter whether the price is worthless.

Anyway, Chen Shu didn't pay.

Hearing that Brother Jiang was also in Yujing these days, he called Brother Jiang and Brother Meng over.

The location is at the neighbor's house next door.

The neighbor surnamed Zhang has already installed a sunshine pavilion in the yard, the kind with alloy frame and glass roof, the style does not match, the color does not match, the uglier is uglier, but it took her several months of salary, in this snowy weather , It can also block the rain and snow.

There is an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the Sunshine Pavilion. On the table is a Lingli stove, an iron pot, a milky white mutton soup base, some white radish slices, and the mutton and haggis in it are seven or eight catties each. They are still served with Chen Shu's homemade bath Kimchi is used to relieve greasy, and two large baskets of pea tips are used as hot dishes.

"Grandma, what a bother."

"Hey, don't talk about that, it looks sloppy." Zhang Yogurt twitched the corner of her mouth, "Just call me grandma."

"Good morning, grandma and senior sister."

"You're still good."

With the arrival of Brother Jiang and Brother Meng, the courtyard became lively. This should be the largest number of people in her family since the neighbor surnamed Zhang moved here, and the chill brought by the heavy snow seemed to be dispelled.

"Why hasn't Chen Banxia come yet?"

Chen Shu stretched his neck to look outside, and then fired directly: "I'll fire first, we'll eat first if she doesn't come, there's no need to wait for her."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door next door.

Zhang Yogurt grinned happily, stretched his neck and shouted over there:

"This way!"

"oh oh!"

Chen Banxia does as usual in winter, wrapped in a thick down jacket, wearing a hood with a ring of fur on the top of the hood, which is covered with snowflakes at this time, she pushed open the door, shrunk her neck, lowered her head and trotted in , Added another string of footprints in the courtyard.

"How did you get here?" Chen Shu said to her.

"Been sleeping, and I want to buy this for you again, it's too late, I bought it after shopping in the market twice." Chen Banxia raised her arms, her hands were tucked into her sleeves, and she was carrying a big bag of fried dough sticks , "Take it."

"sit down."

Chen Banxia was present, there happened to be seven people and one cat, the little girl and Master Taozi sat on the side, and only her little sister had a seat next to her.

"These are my two roommates. The one who looks like a girl is called Meng Chunqiu, and the one with a round face is called Jiang Lai." Chen Shu introduced to Chen Banxia, ​​and then said to Meng Chunqiu and Jiang, "This is My sister, named Chen Banxia, ​​puts some pressure on you, well, she is now a teacher in our school."

"Hello teacher!"

Meng Chunqiu was in awe.

"Hello teacher……"

Jiang Lai felt uneasy.

Chen Shu smiled. Sure enough, those who have been students have a kind of respect for the teacher.

"Eat and eat."

Chen Shu immediately greeted everyone to eat: "It's already cooked, and it can be eaten after boiling it a little bit. Then let's turn the heat to low and keep it warm, otherwise the soup will be cold after eating half of it this day."

"Um"

As soon as Meng Chunqiu took a sip of the soup, he narrowed his eyes and boasted: "I heard from Brother Jiang last year that he ate Brother Chen's mutton soup once in his freshman year, and then the mutton soup I brought back from the palace for him The soup is not as good as the one from that day, I thought it was because of his psychology, but I tasted it today, and it really tastes better."

"How long ago." Chen Shu said with a smile.

"It's been four years, but Brother Jiang always remembers it." Meng Chunqiu said, "It can be seen how deep the impression was on Brother Jiang."

"Yeah." Jiang Lai nodded repeatedly.

"This is the traditional way of the ancestors back then." Chen Shu said.

"So that's how it is." Meng Chunqiu paused for a moment, then aimed at the deep-fried sticks brought by Chen Banxia, ​​"But what's the meaning of these deep-fried sticks?"

"I know!"

Zhang Yogurt responded enthusiastically, and almost raised her hand: "Tear the fried dough sticks into pieces and put them in the mutton soup. When the fried dough sticks absorb the mutton soup and soften, you will know how delicious this food is."

After finishing speaking, his face was full of pride for knowing a new knowledge point.

"Is there still this way of eating?"

"Chen Shu invented it, and I also know it from them!"

"I didn't invent it either."

"Anyway, it's delicious!" Zhang Yogurt had an Amway expression on his face, "Try it quickly, try it quickly, and this kimchi is super delicious."

"it is good!"

"Brother Jiang, how is your thesis going?" Chen Shu glanced at Jiang Lai.

"I... haven't written it yet," Jiang said.

"It's winter vacation soon."

"Brother Chen, what about you?"

"I……"

Chen Shu rolled his eyes: "I've finished writing."

"what?"

"What? I've finished writing a long time ago." Chen Shu said, "It's just you who haven't written it yet. When the time comes, you won't even be able to catch up."

"..."

Jiang Lai lowered his head, feeling the pressure spontaneously.

Only Qingqing glanced at him lightly, didn't say anything, continued to dip the mutton into a dry dish, and ate kimchi after eating.

"correct"

Chen Shu said to Jiang again: "When will you play the final of the King of Martial Arts Tournament?"

"The first month of the twelfth lunar month."

"where?"

"It's in Yujing." Jiang Lai lowered his head and ate the meat. "I'm going to be promoted to the seventh rank after I finish the beating. I'll try to finish my thesis before the Chinese New Year."

"All of you are at the seventh level..." Meng Chunqiu had a complicated expression, "I have just been promoted to the sixth level, and I still used the Alien Beast Pill. If I didn't use the Alien Beast Pill, I wouldn't be able to advance so smoothly."

Hearing this, the little girl who was originally concentrating on drinking the soup immediately raised her head and looked at Meng Chunqiu with burning eyes: "What is the strange beast pill?"

"Oh, it's the essence left by high-level alien beasts after their natural death. It is used to help future generations advance, and it also has a certain effect on human beings." Meng Chunqiu explained to the little girl in a gentle tone, "It's just because we and alien beasts The appearance of the beast is good, and this thing is hard to come by, so most people don’t know about it.”

Pause for a while: "After you know it, don't say it casually."

"Okay." The little girl still stared at him seriously, "Then how can I get the Alien Beast Pill?"

"That's not easy."

"I prepared it for you." Chen Shu said, holding a few pieces of meat, "but it's already given to my sister. My sister said that she will keep it for you and will give it to you later."

"?"

The little girl frowned tightly, then fell silent for two seconds, then continued to look at Meng Chunqiu: "Then how can I get the Alien Beast Pill again?"

"very hard."

Meng Chunqiu shook his head while eating, he always swallowed it before he spoke: "Generally speaking, you can only pick it up from the forbidden area, or get gifts from the top sects or royal families and strange beasts, and other things. The method is unrealistic, at least robbing is not acceptable."

"..."

The little girl lowered her head, fell into a deep silence, and only gave Master Tao Zi another piece of meat.

The two little sisters on the other side lowered their heads and ate fiercely. One crazily picked up the meat and tasted the deliciousness of Dongzhou mutton, and the other crazily scalded the pea tips. The rare delicacy in the world made Chen Shu couldn't help but grab it from her.

It was still snowing heavily outside.

After lunch, Brother Jiang and Brother Meng left in the snow, while Chen Banxia stayed at the little sister's house.

Standing under the eaves, Chen Shu watched the little girl carrying a bowl between the gazebo of Zhang Yogurt's house and the kitchen of her own house. It was snowing all over the sky, and inexplicably remembered a certain group friend. That group friend also and Jiang Like my brother, the first mutton soup in my life was made by myself.

Too much to do that day.

I don't know how he is now, is he still alive?

If he is still alive, will he feel that the bowl of mutton soup is not as delicious as the previous year's when he eats the mutton soup during the winter solstice this year?

If you are still in Duqin, maybe there is no mutton soup to eat?

Seeing that Cao Ci is about to become a god, it has been more than a year since Yingjie Bodhisattva merged with the origin, and there is always a Buddha's light shining in the direction of killing the forbidden area at night, and their group of friends are also promoted to high ranks one after another. Has appeared one by one, where is this group of friends?

When Chen Shu looked away, he saw that the little girl began to beat her back and legs in order to get the seventh-order Alien Beast Pill from her sister, with an aggrieved expression on her face.

My sister was expressionless, quietly enjoying.

Sometimes I find fault.

Chen Shu couldn't help sighing.

This is to endure humiliation to defeat my sister.

……

The twelfth lunar month is here.

The little girl began to take the exam, and Chen Shu finally finished writing a paper of more than 8000 words.

Today happened to be the final day of Brother Jiang's Martial Arts Tournament, which was held at the Royal Martial Arts Hall in Yujing.This final has condensed the expectations of the Chinese people. Posts about Brother Jiang's finals on all major platforms on the Internet have rushed to the top of the list. Even if you are not a fighting fan, you are all cheering for him.

Ticket prices are sky-high, and tickets are hard to come by.

Fortunately, Brother Jiang, as a contestant, has a quota for relatives and friends. The whole group has been honored by him, and each group member has one vote.

The Royal Martial Arts Hall is near the Imperial Palace. The buildings in this area are all traditional buildings with cornices, white walls and black tiles. They have a special flavor in heavy snow days.Most of the pedestrians on the side of the road are wearing down jackets, and there are many who come here to take pictures.

There are already a long series of footprints on the road.

Chen Shu and Qingqing were also wearing down jackets, one black and one white, and they both covered their hats, just like when they were young, but they were holding hands and walking towards the martial arts hall.

Check the ticket and enter the hall.

Chen Shu pulled Qingqing and looked for a seat.

The tickets for the relatives and friends group were all together, and Chen Shu quickly caught sight of those two eye-catching figures

Moon white Taoist robes, yellow monk robes.

There are also the group leader, Zhang Yogurt, Meng Chunqiu and Yan Yanling.

Chen and Shu walked over.

"Yo!"

Zhang Yogurt looked like a single dog, but behind the disgust, there was actually a strong sourness: "Hand in hand?"

"hey-hey."

Chen Shu pulled Qingqing to sit down, greeted everyone first, and then looked at Master Tongdeng and Master Xuanzhen: "The two masters are here too?"

"I've been busy recently, and I don't know what to do. It's also boring to watch and clean up. Why don't you come out to change your mood." Little Master Xuanzhen said, as if she wanted to show that she didn't like to watch this kind of program.

"Amitabha, the poor monk likes to watch fights."

"Did you eat mutton soup on the winter solstice a few days ago?"

"The mutton soup has a strong taste, and it is generally not made in Guanli, but I go down the mountain to eat it." Little Master Xuanzhen said.

"Where is Master Tongdeng?"

"Amitabha." Master Tongdeng clasped his hands together, bowed to Chen Shu and said, "Vegetable donor, be careful that you will go to the [-]th hell in the future."

"Hahaha……"

Chen Shu withdrew his gaze and aimed at the competition ring.
