Xiao Yan had a good idea at first, the skewers in summer must be accompanied by some drinks to be enjoyable, right?Before crossing, grilled skewers and cold beer are almost standard on summer nights, and a little cold dish is perfect.

Here, he didn't know the brewing method of beer, and he didn't find watermelon and other extremely thirst-quenching fruits. So, once the sour plum soup comes out, it will definitely attract countless fans!

According to the recipe, this drink is luxurious.The exquisite method needs to use more than ten aftertaste materials, black plum or bayberry, hawthorn, tangerine peel, licorice as the main ingredients, supplemented with rock sugar, honey, osmanthus, roselle and other ingredients, soaked for several hours, and then simmered for several hours Hours, half a day to get it done.After the temperature drops slightly after being out of the pot, add a lot of honey to remove the astringency, and pour it into a cup. The plum juice is thick, beautiful in color, rich in taste, sweet and sour, and has an endless aftertaste.Add a little ice to it, and it will be cold in the mouth, which is even more enjoyable in the hot summer.

Xiao Yan couldn't prepare everything in a hurry, but dried bayberry, homemade tangerine peel, dried hawthorn that the old man found, Jixi stone honey, and spices that the old man made that can replace osmanthus, all of which took a lot of thought , can definitely be called the only one without a semicolon.

The materials were limited, so he only boiled a small pot of thick and a large pot of light. After the pot was out, he specially recruited the snake and let it spray cold water under the container for a while. Although the effect of adding ice could not be achieved, it was still It is equivalent to being suppressed in well water.

Originally, I was thinking that everyone would fight to the point of fighting, but who would have thought that after taking a look, they would never look back for a second time.

Pot after pot of free bone soup was cooked, pot of winter melon pork ribs soup was also cooked pot after pot, and finally it was too late, so Xiao Yan asked someone to buy a big bag of millet and come back to cook millet soup.But even so, everyone would rather drink bland millet soup than a bowl of sour plum soup.

——After Xiao Yan strongly recommended it to no avail, he also tried to invite a few people who had been on the road for a long time and were exhausted by the sun to try a drink for free. He straightened his waist and patted his chest and said: "We are just a little tired, we should just take a rest, we are not sick, and we don't need to take medicine."

There is no way, although Xiao Yan thinks that the deep red color of sour plum soup is crystal clear and beautiful, and it can salivate just looking at it, but in the eyes of people who have never seen it before, it is not much different from a large pot of dark concoction .Although you can't smell the bitter taste, this appearance is enough to make people retreat three feet.

Hey, look at the dregs left over there, isn't it just a pile of weird medicinal materials?

"It's not a medicine. It's not used to cure diseases. It's mainly to quench thirst and taste good..." Xiao Yan explained to them.

After tearing up the roasted wings in two bites, the other party hurriedly squeezed into the crowd to buy some more, and said in a very unintentional way: "Oh? It's not for curing diseases? Then there's no need to drink medicine..."

Xiao Yan: "..." This is really not medicine, thank you.

When Taotie helped carry a bunch of human-faced birds over, he saw his own fox holding a rough clay bowl, with a sad face of being abandoned by the whole world.

After unloading the things, I leaned over to have a look: "Hey, is the medicine you boiled out of the pot?"

To be honest, seeing Xiao Yan steaming, drying and drying those dry orange peels, Taotie was quite incomprehensible.After all, he ate two mouthfuls of fresh orange peel without incident, and the bitter taste was impressive. The little tiger firmly did not believe that the taste would become better when boiled.

But who made his wife enthusiastic about it?As a good glutton, he decided to unconditionally support any decision of the little fox, and presented half of his beloved beehive.The golden yellow honey flowing inside is his sincere heart towards his wife (vomit...).

It's just that he was busy talking about it at the moment, and accidentally said that he was bald.

Xiao Yan turned his head quietly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and released his murderous aura calmly.

Taotie shrank his neck, and praised against his will: "This color is quite pretty, ordinary grass and fruit skins can't produce such a beautiful color."

Xiao Yan: I was not comforted to thank you.

Seeing that the Chinese people are not even interested in Taotie drinking, Xiao Yan didn't insist on anything. He was tired after working for a long time. He scratched a place to roast a bird by himself, and drank sour plum soup while gnawing, looking at the big and round golden bird. The red sunset suddenly became happier again.

A group of people who don't know the goods, there is no such shop after passing this village. If you really taste it in the future, you will regret missing today's meal!

Taotie sat down on the stone beside him, gnawed on the meat and watched Xiao Yan gulp down two bowls of strangely colored sour plum soup, feeling a little sick to his stomach.

Just when he was seriously considering whether his own fox had been shown to him for the sake of saving face, and whether he wanted to join in the tasting, Taotie noticed a line of sight.

He stared straight at this side, motionless.Although I didn't feel any strong aura or any malice, it was rare to see such a focused gaze among people coming and going.

Taotie was always sensitive, so he turned his head immediately, his eyes were like lightning, and he locked on the person who was staring at them.Powerful beasts always hate others invading their territory, the smile in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Yan before faded instantly, and became extremely cold.

only……

After seeing the other party clearly with murderous eyes, he was slightly stunned.

I saw that it was not some scheming person with malicious intentions, but a little girl who was only as tall as his waist at most.She looks pink and tender like a small dumpling, with a round face, big eyes, a small nose and mouth, hair combed into neat little bags on both sides, and a suit of delicate clothes.

It's just that the little girl who has been carefully raised is a little embarrassed at the moment.I don't know where to wipe a few spots of dust on the small face, it seems that it has been running for a long time, the face is flushed, the temples are wet with sweat, it seems that it has fallen, the clothes are dirty, and there are scratches on the hands.

The place where her gaze stayed was not actually Xiao Yan and Taotie, but the delicious barbecue they were holding in their hands.

Taotie clearly saw her swallowing desperately.

The all-clear, he thought casually, is just a hungry human cub.Taotie's temperament is different from Xiao Yan's. When Xiao Yan encounters someone or something, if he can, he will usually choose to help him. As for how much he can help, it depends on his friendship.But Taotie is used to being alone, and he doesn't bother to care about anything except the people and things he cares about.

A human cub, in a country full of humans, would never starve to death. The thought flashed through him, and he decided to ignore it.

In the end, before she could look away, the girl seemed to have noticed something, raised her eyes slightly, and met Taotie squarely.

Taotie: "..."

little girl:"……"

Let's talk about this Taotie's appearance, he's handsome, he's domineering, but what he lacks most...is probably affinity.When he looked at people with a blank face, his cold eyes, his slightly raised brows, and his cold face were enough to make even the most irritable beast shy away in desperation.

Not to mention such a little girl.

The other party suddenly met such a stinky face of "You owe me 500 million spirit stones", and was so scared that he backed up a few steps on the spot, accidentally bumped into the person behind him, and sat down on the ground.The small mouth shrunk, and tears glistened in the black grape-like eyes, as if he was about to cry out in the next second.

Taotie: "..." Is he really that scary?

Well, this time it has something to do with it, so I can't ignore it.The young man sat silently in the same place, silently looking at the little girl who was about to cry or not, thinking about what kind of expression he should walk over, would it scare her to the ground?

The glutton who was born to be indifferent to this kind of soft doll who disagreed with each other and burst into tears, made trouble with a blank expression.

After such a hesitation, Xiao Yan noticed the little commotion, raised his head from the bowl of sour plum soup, and saw an extremely cute little girl looking at Taotie in horror.

"Uh, what did you do to him?" Xiao Yan blinked in surprise.

Taotie: "...glanced at her."

Xiao Yan: "..."

The little girl finally couldn't bear the pressure of Taotie's eyes, and started dropping golden beans.

When Xiao Yan saw it, he was in a hurry. The little girl was from an unusual background. Now she acted alone for some reason. When the parents find her later, they must think that they are bullying the child.

Quickly put the bowl away, trotted up to help the little girl up, wiped away her tears, and asked her softly if there was any pain from the fall.

Taotie looked at Xiao Yan from a distance and gave a usual smile, coaxed the baby girl twice, and patted the clothes clean. After a while, the human cub burst into laughter.Xiao Yan pointed in his direction, and said a few more words, the little girl looked at Tao Tie timidly, seemed to hesitate, and nodded awkwardly.

Then, one big and one small held hands, and they came over here unexpectedly.

Taotie: "..."

He deeply felt the gap between the same high-level monsters.

It doesn't make sense, the nine-tailed fox is also a famous beast...

Xiao Yan personally grilled a few skewers of meat for the little girl, took them out when the fire was just right, and brushed them with honey, so that the little girl didn't even blink her eyes.

"Come on, let's eat." Xiao Yan also found that the little girl was starving.

The little girl was clearly very greedy, but still hesitated, looked at Xiao Yan and then at Taotie, especially at Taotie twice, and whispered: "... If you are bad people, I will shout for help. There are so many people here, and it’s so close to the city gate, you won’t be able to escape.”

"..." Taotie always felt that the eyes that looked more at him meant something, so he snorted angrily.

Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, no one dares to harbor ill feelings towards such a smart little girl, so don't worry."

The little girl seemed to want to say something more, but held back, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, took a small bite, and then her eyes lit up, she stopped talking nonsense immediately, and began to eat bitterly.

Don't look at her small ball, she really has a big appetite, and she ate a half-roasted bird in one sitting.

Xiao Yan watched from the side, feeling more and more that this is not an ordinary child.

In this world, he had never seen such a fastidious child.Not only is the dress different from the children Nanji saw, but even the eating habits are extremely particular.The child was obviously very hungry, and he was in a hurry to eat, but even so, the way he ate was not ugly at all, on the contrary, he had a bit of elegance.Sitting upright, the hand holding the leaf wrapped in barbecue should be careful not to touch a little greasy, and you will never eat your mouth full of oil.

Looking at the shiny ornaments in her hair, there is no plexiglass in this world, they are definitely colored gemstones.

Xiao Yan guessed that it should be a little girl from a noble family in the inner city.
