Otherworldly Pastry Chef

This time there was nothing to go shopping, and the two of them didn't put away the tent, but hurried towards the middle of the valley after putting away the pots and pans.

Hei Xiao ran very fast, and the distance in the valley itself was not that big, so after turning into a black leopard, the two of them arrived under the big banyan tree in a short while, and the speed was faster than the last time when they walked with two feet. how many times.And when they got close to the big banyan tree, they saw the snow deer lying under the banyan tree, licking the thunder mink's fur.As for the Thunder Sable, he was lying on his back next to Snow Deer with his eyes closed, his belly was exposed, and he was completely enjoying himself, making Guozi want to laugh.

"Xiao Diao is still a child after all." Guo Zi jumped off Hei Xiao's back and said happily.

Hei Xiao turned back and hugged Guo Guo's shoulders, saying that he could not discuss this topic.Because he thinks that a stag will not have motherhood, and animals with intelligence are obviously closer to humans. It is reliable to say that they are close because they are also magic beasts with intelligence, but close relatives are like this It's also pretty weird.Anyway, Xuelu will definitely follow his master and his wife in the future, so he feels that he doesn't need to worry about it.

"The time is still there, it should be enough for us to collect wood herbs."

Guozi nodded, and then walked a few steps quickly.

"Little Mink, Snow Deer, we're here!"

When the little mink heard his master's voice, he immediately opened his eyes, turned over, stood up and ran over. 'Master, mink has been waiting for a long time!Mink hungry. '

Guozi knelt down and patted the little mink's head: "Should I eat the jerky first or wait until I pick the grass to know the best cake?"

As soon as Thunder Sable heard about the delicious cakes, he immediately became full of energy: "I want to eat delicious cakes!"The jerky is also delicious!The mink is really hungry, but the fruit is not enough for the mink. '

Guozi smiled and took a large piece of five-spice beef from Liangyihuan, took two clean bamboo leaves and put them on the ground.

"Then you eat first. How about the two of us and the snow deer go to collect grass first, and come to us after you finish eating?"

Thunder Sable nodded: "Okay." 'Then, the little mink began to communicate with the snow deer, and still tried to share the beef with the snow deer.It's a pity that Xuelu has no interest in this kind of pure meat, and finally followed Heixiaoheguo to pick wood herbs first.

The banyan tree is not far from the place where the wood vanilla grows.And near the place where wood vanilla grows, the air is full of good wood aroma.Standing by the woody grass, Guozi took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed due to the comfort.

"It's so nice here! If there is such a piece of wood and herbs planted in the bamboo mountain, I would like to move there."

"Yes. I didn't expect that the scent of grass alone could have such an effect. This is the first time I've seen such a magical plant." Hei Xiao sighed.

Guozi knelt down and touched the leaves of wood vanilla.

"In fact, the smell of many plants also has medicinal effects. For example, I have seen some incense in the demon market before. The smell after burning can refresh the mind or help sleep, and it also has the effect of relieving depression and calming the nerves, etc. .Also, it’s like you can make sachets with medicinal materials to prevent diseases and exorcise evil spirits, as well as to prevent mosquitoes. I guess the aroma of woody herbs also has similar medicinal effects. I can let my parents study it when I go back.”

Hei Xiao nodded: "Yeah. Anyway, my parents are also people who made ointments."

"..." Guozi raised her head and glared angrily, but when she saw Hei Xiao's playful smile, she blushed.

Guozi did not break his promise, and really made green wood herb rice balls at noon.

Snow deer is still acceptable to food with little meat, especially the kind with woody herbs. Even if only three plants of grass are put in a big pot of rice, it still shows its love.In the evening, the woody lotus paste cake made of fruit is even more exciting.The tender green cake is filled with soft, glutinous and sweet lotus seed paste. The cake is also soft and delicious. The whole cake has the aroma of wood and vanilla. Although it is still relatively sweet, Hei Xiao also likes it this time. I ate a dozen yuan with lotus seed tea.After steaming the fruit, two pots of woody lotus paste cake were wiped out in one go.

Given that the snow deer will live here for another year, the proportion of woody herbs they pick is really not that big, but there is one basket for uprooted ones and one basket for leaves alone, which is actually quite a lot.And these uprooted ones, Guozi and Heixiao planned to plant them after the houses in Zhushan were built. If that place could grow, it would definitely be much faster than seeds.

After dinner, neither of them rested, but rushed directly to the cave.Hei Xiao asked Snow Deer to take care of Thunder Sable, and told them to go to the pool of Yeguanglian to find them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.Regarding the matter of opening the sealed volume box, the sooner they plan to complete it, the better.

The two of them set out on the road again, Hei Xiao was still in the shape of a beast, carrying fruit on his back.Just like entering a cave in the mountains, Guo Guo ran forward at a constant speed with a torch and Hei Xiao.They reached the cave before the moonlight was brightest.

From waiting for the moonlight to opening the box again, Hei Xiao's actions were done in one go without any hesitation, but when he opened the box, he found that the exercises inside were gone, and there was an extra milky white stone inside. Under the illumination of the night light, there was a blue-purple streamer, and Hei Xiao touched it, but it was still quite hard.

Guozi was very curious, so he touched it with his hand, but after only touching it, it was like being hit by an electric shock, his fingers hurt, and half of his arm was numb.He quickly withdrew his hand, looking terrified.

"Why are you fine when you touch it?"

Seeing Guozi like this, Hei Xiao quickly took his hand and looked at it.

"There is no wound, does it hurt?"

Guozi nodded: "It really hurts. It's like being stabbed by something, and then my forearm is numb. But it's much better now. But you'll be fine if you touch it."

Hei Xiao let go of the fruit and touched the stone again, but there was no response, and finally picked up the stone and put it in the palm of his hand, still without any tingling sensation.Of course, apart from these, he didn't have any other feelings, so he put it back again.

"I didn't feel thunder spirit or other spiritual power on this stone either. How could it hurt you?"

Fruit shook his head.Shaking his arms, the feeling of numbness was almost gone.

"Maybe you're the guardian of the Hei family's secret scroll. Or maybe you have Thunder Spirit in your body and I don't. It's not a big deal. But it's surprising that you turned into this stone without the cultivation method. "

"It's really unexpected. But it's definitely not someone from the Hei family who came in to change. Then tell me, will it be different every time you come?" Hei Xiao had a whim.

Guozi smiled: "Then let's see again in ten years."

Hei Xiao also smiled: "If it's really different every time, I still look forward to seeing a few more exercises."

Guozi made a face at Heixiao: "You are the real money fan!"

Go out again through the door that was opened in the stone wall.The two of them washed up immediately, and then got into the tent to rest.

Completing a task equals one hundred gold.But for the two of them now, the luminous lotus, the black fish and so many wood herbs, the key is that there is a snow deer who will go with them in the future.This is nothing compared to a hundred gold.

Next, the two stayed here for three days.In the past three days, Snow Deer and Thunder Mink brought them some other magical plants one after another, including fruits and seeds, as well as rooted plants dug out by Thunder Mink.Thunder Sable told them that this is something that Lulu said can be planted, so don't eat it first.

Although it is a pity that the fruit cannot be eaten, it can be used all the time after it is planted, and he is still very satisfied with this.In the past three days, their harvest of luminous lotus and fish was particularly rich. Before leaving, Hei Xiao went to the forest to make a dozen large wooden basins by himself, just to keep these live fish in the magic vessel.Although time is almost static in the magic weapon, it is not forever.So a fish with water is absolutely different from a fish without water.They planned to raise these live fish in the pond in Zhushan.

By the time the two of them left the forbidden area and exited the cave, it was already night again.The bonfire outside was bright, and seeing that there were still a few tents, the two of them remembered that they had opened the box three days ago, and the Hei family knew about it by then, and they were waiting for them to come out.They collected at the pool for another three days, and it is estimated that the Hei family also waited here for three days.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other.Now it is obvious that there is no way to communicate with the mouth, so I have to use spiritual consciousness. "Guozi, I'll tell you later that you just listen." '

Guozi nodded: 'Yes.I wouldn't say it anyway.I listen to you. '

Seeing the fruit and the others coming out, Hei Li, who brought someone to pick them up, immediately ran over.

"You can be regarded as coming out. The Patriarch has just returned, and everyone is worried that something happened to you."

Hei Xiao's expression didn't change and his heart beat: "After opening the box, we took a long time to get out this time. The road this time is different from the last time. The time to go is very short, but the time to come back is very long."

Hei Li hurriedly moved the two of them to the campfire: "It's been raining for the past two days, you should go to the fire to warm up. We don't know the situation in the forbidden area, but the elders and the head of the family have said that every time the situation is different The same is normal. Otherwise, we would all have to worry to death. But it’s good that you come back safely.”

Is it raining?Only then did Hei Xiao pay attention to his feet, it was indeed rather muddy.As soon as I came out, I thought about how to lie, and ignored this.However, in order to show that the inside is different from the outside, his words are true: "It is not raining inside. It seems that it is indeed related to the magic circle."

"It doesn't matter if it's not raining, the temperature suddenly dropped after it rained these two days. Don't stay here, everyone, pack up your tent and go home quickly. The owner will reward everyone tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Hei Li turned his head to look at Hei Xiao and Bai Guo again: "You two hurry up and go back with me. The Patriarch said that you will live directly with the Patriarch this time when you come back. The mistress has already packed up the house for you, which is the last time The one you live in. Don’t refuse any more.”

Hei Xiao nodded: "Okay. It's really late. Going to the post house will be a toss."

Seeing Hei Xiao and Bai Guo come back, Fang Yi let out a sigh of relief.He personally poured a glass of sweet and sour cherry juice for the fruit.

"You didn't come out for three days after you opened the box, you worried us."

Guozi took the cherry juice and thanked Fang Yi with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Fang. We just came out slowly. I'm really sorry for making you worry."

Fang Yi rubbed Guozi's hair: "Silly boy, you are benefiting everyone in the Hei family, how can you say sorry to us. We have to thank you for making you work so hard."

Hei Xiao was very straightforward: "It's okay to thank you. This is a deal we have agreed upon, and there is a contract. Patriarch, when will you give us the hundred gold? We plan to leave tomorrow."

Hei Ji frowned slightly: "It's fine to give the money now, it's been prepared long ago. But are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Hei Xiao nodded: "It's really urgent. I promised Guozi that I would take him to Bibo City for another round of fun, and I would also take him to the Tiger Tribe to buy milk cakes made by them. But the family can't keep going back , my father-in-law and mother-in-law are building a house, it’s not good for our number to come out after death.”

Hei Ji took a look at Fang Yi, and Fang Yi immediately understood: "That's not a day or two away. We still have important matters to discuss with you."

Hei Xiao looked at Fang Yi: "Then what's the matter?"

Fang Yi replied: "We heard that you are very familiar with the caravan running in Bibo City, and we also know that you have a team running business in other tribes in Yancheng. What Hei Ji and I mean is whether we can cooperate with your caravan. Bring our products, we will give you a commission, and the money earned will be shared by then."

Hei Xiao didn't expect this to happen, but Hei Xiao's heart moved slightly.

"Then why doesn't Black Cloud City set up its own caravan?"

Hei Ji took over the words: "The caravan in the city is not a problem, but the problem is that if there are too many caravans, it will be worthless. If every beast city has its own caravan, then there is really no profit. You boy You don’t understand these things, don’t be unhappy, so prevaricate me?”

Hei Xiao smiled: "I'm not unhappy. And the caravan is not mine. I still think your suggestion is very good. It is also a matter of mutual benefit. If several beast cities can cooperate, then the caravan will There are more and better products to be sold to people from other tribes. In this way, even if other tribes set up caravans in the future, our caravans from the Leopard Clan can take the lead.”

After hearing this, Hei Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Yes. Your brain is enough. I think so too."

Fang Yi rolled a blank look at Hei Ji, and wanted to pinch this guy for his narcissistic appearance.

"So Hei Xiao, can you talk to your city lord about this?"

Hei Xiao didn't hesitate, and nodded directly: "It's not a big problem. I can talk about it when I go back. But the caravan is not the city owner's, but Uncle Chen's. I believe you must be very clear about Uncle Chen's family. So he And I won’t listen to the city lord. And I said this matter is just a proposal. If you really want to cooperate, you should talk about it in person when Uncle Chen and the others come back. And whether to cooperate as the Hei family or as the Heiyun city, They are all different. I can’t explain these clearly.”

Hei Ji waved his hands: "Of course you're talking about this in person. But it would be better if you let me know in advance. Also, Chen Huan is Guo Zi's teacher, and Mr. Bei Ming only has Guo Zi as a student now." , you have very different positions in their hearts."

Hei Xiao looked at Hei Ji: "That's true. We are still very useful."

The corner of Hei Ji's mouth twitched, thinking how this brat started bragging about himself just like himself.

"That's why we asked you for help."

Hei Xiao smiled and said, "Then will there be any rewards to thank us after the help?"

Hei Ji almost choked to death.Is it really good to be so rich? !But people have said everything, if I don't agree, it's like calling others in vain.

"Of course. How can we ask you to help for nothing."
