I was a hunter in ancient times

Chapter 5 Cooking

   "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, did you hear that an eight-foot-tall Westerner came to the village!"

After Zhou Du finished his porridge, he heard a lot of news. He had achieved his purpose of going down the mountain today, and when he was about to get up and leave, he let out a bluff. The voice came.

Eight feet tall?

Zhou Du raised his eyebrows and looked towards the source of the sound.

"Grandpa Zhang saw someone coming out of the mountain this morning, and he thought it was a mountain god coming down to earth, so he died laughing..."

Li Yu came back from the town early in the morning, listened to the gossip at the entrance of the village, and ran to the end of the village impatiently. My friend Shen Xi shared.

As a result, before he got close, he saw the protagonist of the gossip sitting beside Shen Xi, and the two of them were looking at him suspiciously, and the fire of gossip that filled their hearts was immediately chilled.

"Little Yu'er is back." When Shen Xi saw Li Yu, a joyful expression appeared on his face.

Li Yu spoke incoherently: "...um...yes...he's back..."

Zhou Du saw that the person who came was a young man about the same age as Shen Xi, and he didn't bother them to reminisce about the old days. He got up and nodded to them, and said indifferently: "Farewell."

Shen Xi also smiled at Zhou Du.

Zhou Du stepped away without paying attention, and before he took a few steps, there was an exclamation from behind: "He he he he he he he can understand."

"Shh, keep your voice down, you haven't gone far. "

Zhou Du: "..."

Although the two teenagers didn't hide their words, they brought some useful information to Zhou Du anyway.

From the current point of view, the people in this village are only curious about him, and they don't reject him.

The news couldn't have been better.

He is at a loss for the world, and if there is a relatively peaceful place to accept him, the following days will be relatively much easier.

Zhou Du returned the same way, and once again accepted the baptism that attracted the attention of the whole village.

This time he observed more carefully, and found that the height of the whole village was generally not high, and he stood out from the crowd like a chicken out of the crowd.

And he also observed another phenomenon.

In this world, men and women seem to be married.

Because he has seen more than a pair of men cuddling together, the intimate atmosphere is definitely not something that brothers can surpass.

Zhou Du glanced at it, then moved his eyes away.

Because of his good looks, he has also received a lot of good impressions before, whether it is from the same sex or the opposite sex, and he has also been popularized a lot of knowledge for this reason.

So now don't say that men and women can marry, even if it is a relationship between humans and animals, he will not be curious.

Zhou Du returned the same way, searched halfway up the mountain, and found a dilapidated mountain temple.

It is better to say it is a broken house than a mountain temple, because the clay Buddha statue in the main hall has collapsed long ago, leaving a pile of dried soil.

Fortunately, the roof is made of tiles. Except for a broken beam that collapsed the roof of half of the house, there is also a half of the house with good beams, which can barely shelter from wind and rain.

Zhou Du walked around the mountain temple in satisfaction, and was about to go back to the mountain to get the search and rescue suit he hid.

There was a crisp sound under his feet, and Zhou Du stepped back to see clearly what was under his feet.

A dead cockroach.

It's nothing, it's normal to have cockroaches in such inaccessible places.

But when Zhou Du trampled this one to death, it was like touching a mechanism. A group of cockroaches surged out from all corners, crawling aimlessly, and there were two scurrying mice among them.

A faint sarcasm was drawn at the corner of Zhou Du's mouth, he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or something else, he stepped out of the mountain temple without looking back, and he didn't even think about staying.

On the way back, Zhou Du was filled with an indescribable gloom. Just in time, a blind pheasant flew by on the road, and the bow and arrow on his back were in his hands immediately. Yayi shot dozens of shots in a row, each of which hit the target, and the resentment pent up in his heart was fully expressed.

Looking back at the pheasant whose head was shot by himself, Zhou Du belatedly remembered that even if he knew how to hunt, he couldn't do it.

A pheasant was wasted in vain.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered that he had just eaten a bowl of porridge for nothing at the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Du, who has never owed favors to anyone, picked up the chicken and headed down the mountain without even thinking about it.

After such a delay, the crowd gathered at the entrance of the village had already dispersed, leaving only a few children playing.

Maybe it was because they had already met and gossiped, these children looked at Zhou Du more naturally, as if they were just ordinary passers-by.

Arriving at Shenxi's house unimpeded all the way, the young man with delicate features and bright smile was no longer seen at the door, Zhou Du frowned, threw the headless chicken at the door, and left.

I'm not worried about any misunderstandings.

...

Shen Xi and Li Yu haven't seen each other for nearly a month.

Li Yu is the apprentice of his uncle Shen Mu.

A month ago, Li Yu's grandfather suffered a serious illness. Li Yu's mother, Li Su, had to take care of the family and the field, and couldn't leave.

It just so happened that Li Yu had learned medical skills from Shen Mu for several years, and with him around, he would be able to help in any emergencies.

Recently, his grandfather has been getting better and better, and there is no shortage of caregivers in his grandfather's family, so Li Yu came back with the ox cart in the village.

"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry for not being able to catch up with your birthday. This is a birthday gift for you." Li Yu was very worried about not coming back to celebrate Shen Xi's birthday yesterday, and dragged Shen Xi to his house to get a gift .

Shen Xi took it and took a look, and the delicate and small Chozi was not cheap at first glance, and said happily, "It's okay, I was so busy yesterday that I didn't even remember my birthday."

Shen Xi really didn't care A birthday is very important, but he loves the new Choshi in his hand, "My previous Choko is broken, and I just need a mouthful of Choshi soup. You have relieved my urgent need."

Shen Xi said, Li Yu understood, and said with complicated eyes, "You... have no money again?"

Shen Xi's face was slightly bitter, but his tone was quite cheerful, "What do you mean I have no money again, and I have never had any money."

Li Yu agreed with the point Nodding, "That's true."

Shen Xi is a well-known "prodigal son" in the village.

The term "prodigal" certainly doesn't mean that he is idle and lazy, but Shen Xi is still the most diligent and earnest Shuang'er in the village.

As for why he prodigal, of course he likes cooking too much.

It costs a lot of money just to build a kitchen, let alone buy an entire kitchen with kitchen utensils, several iron pans of different sizes, more than a dozen kitchen knives of different styles, and all kinds of porcelain and pottery, etc.

In addition, cooking oil is poured like water, and salt is sprinkled like it doesn't need money. All these things require money to support, which makes Shenxi very poor.

All the money he earned was wasted in the kitchen, Shen Mu, as an uncle, not only didn't care, but often gave him the money he earned for his own medical treatment, and let him toss about.

Of course, no money, no money, Shen Xi's life is not bad, at least Li Yu has never seen Shen Xi have no food.

"I got a new Choshi today, I'll treat you to something good to make up for my birthday feast." Shen Xi hugged Choshi, and happily pulled Li Yu to his home.

As soon as the two of them came to the door, they found the headless pheasant thrown by the door. The chicken was full of holes and had not been bled before death. Blood was still oozing from these holes, which looked very scary.

"Who threw this." Li Yu looked at Shen Xi suspiciously, and also saw doubt in Shen Xi's eyes.

"Xiaoxi, you must have messed with someone." Looking at this bloody pheasant, Li Yu couldn't help worrying about Shenxi.

"No." Shen Xi's eyes were full of confusion. If he made someone unhappy, he would cook for him. If one meal was not enough, two meals would always coax people well. He never cared about overnight revenge.

The two looked at each other, but they had no clue. Shenxi put Chozi back in the kitchen, took out a few pieces of homemade maltose from the sugar jar in the kitchen, walked a few steps and found two children playing nearby, and asked them, " Da Ya, Er Ya, did you see someone throwing chickens at my door."

Da Ya and Er Ya stared at the candy in Shenxi's hand and couldn't help talking, but they still resisted and answered honestly: "It's a girl with short hair. brother."

As soon as they said that the hair was short, Shen Xi knew who it was, and when he thought of Zhou Du carrying a bow on his back, the holes in the chicken's body were also explained.

Li Yu frowned, and said worriedly: "Xiaoxi, it's not what I said in the morning that angered him."

Shenxi recalled the details of getting along with Zhou Du, and for some reason, he thought of Zhou Du inexplicably Staring straight at him, his cheeks burned: "It's nothing, he's not that kind of person."

"Then why did he give you a chicken? It's a chicken that died so badly." Li Yu said I didn't figure it out.

"Hmm." Shen Xi lowered his head, thought for a while, seemed to understand, "Maybe he gave it because he wanted to?"

Li Yu still had lingering fears, how could anyone give something like this.

Seeing Li Yu, Shen Xi was still worried, so he poked the pheasant on the ground, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we give him something special, just to try?"

"Okay." Li Yu thought this method was good, and immediately he He asked worriedly again, "But what are you giving?"

"Don't worry, let's cook first, and think slowly while cooking." Shen Xi saw that it was getting late, so he didn't dare to delay, took Li Yu into the kitchen and started cooking. Get busy.

It's just that Shen Xi, who cooks neatly in the world, is distracted frequently today, not knowing what he is thinking.

After throwing another handful of dried chilies into the pot, Shen Xi finally regained his senses from being choked, picked out a piece of chicken with chopsticks, tasted it, and sighed, "It's useless."

"Really?" Yu also used chopsticks to pick out a piece of spicy chicken in the pot and tasted it, and said innocently, "No, the taste is okay except that it is a little spicy.

" dishes." Shen Xi said seriously.

Li Yu was stunned, "I think I can make do with it, otherwise it would be a pity to throw it away."

"Who said I'm going to throw it away." Shen Xi shook his head, "I'm going to give this failed dish to Zhou Du to eat , you think it's disgusting for him to eat such a bad meal."

Li Yu glanced at the fried spicy chicken in the pot, thinking, if this is disgusting, he would rather be cooked every day. nausea.
