In Chaoli County, some people come and some go, some starve to death, some die of illness, there is a missing knight who has no following, and No one cares.
After Lin Xianxing found out that the knight had disappeared, she thought that the knight knew that there was no hope and left his hometown, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The backyard of Li Mansion.
The door was locked, Song Yan grabbed the pigskin, took the knife and carving knife, and started doing his old job.
Although it is a mundane place with barren mysterious energy, once the butcher shop business is on the right track, Song Yan's longevity will increase by several years every day, or every two days.
Others may worry that "time flies by quickly" or have headaches "there is no profound energy here, which delays the cultivation time", but Song Yan doesn't care at all.
Because his longevity will only increase.
This makes him not anxious for a moment, and has extra terrible patience.
Swish, brush, brush.
“Huhu~”
Song Yan blew off the debris on the pig skin, then lifted it up and shook it.
[You have absorbed the remaining life span of a black pig: 14 years]
After doing this, Song Yan placed the black pig skin puppet again on the chopping board and began to draw it quickly with a knife. Strip.
He had naturally disliked these shadow puppets made of ordinary animal skins for a long time, so after taking the longevity yuan, he used them for cooking. This could also conceal his true purpose of hiding the pig skins.
For this purpose, he has worked hard to practice cooking during this period and developed two unique skills.
First hand——Spicy pork rinds.
Second hand——roasted pork neck.
The first step is to deal with the shadow puppets and "destroy their corpses and traces"; the second step is to deceive others.
Even if no one is watching or paying attention, Song Yan will do things without revealing any flaws.
He cooked the pig skin carefully, and by the way, he cut the pork neck into thick strips and baked it on a fruit wood rack.
Half an hour later, "Pig Skin Shadow Puppet" "It has turned into a plate of spicy pork skin, translucent; and the "roasted pork neck" is also ready, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Song Yan looked at these two plates of delicious food with emotion.
I think back then, it was hard for him to eat even the roasted meat. I don’t know what the hell he was.
Now, there are also specialty dishes.
Smiling and shaking his head, he opened the door and walked out with the plate in hand.
Two steps later, a maid ran over and said respectfully: "Master, Protector Du is waiting for you in the front yard."
Song Yan said: "I understand, go get the jar of wine."< br>
The maid said: "Madam, please drink less."
Song Yan was speechless.
Lin Xianxing asked him to drink less wine not because he was worried about his health, but because all he had in his cellar were good wines. Drinking these wines was like drinking silver. Of course Lin Xianxing felt distressed.
Lin Xianxing is a good thief. During these days, he quickly learned that although the Taoyuan Butcher Shop made money, it was not that much. It was more the money Mr. Li brought from the North.
Master Li’s money is her money, how could she not feel distressed?
“Take it!”
"Yes, Master." The maid hurriedly went down.
Song Yan carried two plates of food to the front yard.
In the courtyard, a fierce man was sitting at a stone table. This was the fierce man who "interviewed" and "invited Song Yan to join the gang" that day.
The Flying Knife Gang is a small local gang.
But although the gang is small, it has all five organs, including a protector and a hall leader.
"Smells, smells good!" Du Hufa screamed strangely while fanning himself.
Song Yan put the dishes on the table.
Duke Du took the chopsticks and started to use them.
Song Yan also grabbed a pair of chopsticks and stopped him.
Two pairs of chopsticks clashed in the air, entangling each other like a competition of skills. After a long time, they separated with a "pop" sound.
Du Hufa laughed strangely and said: "Okay, okay!"
Obviously, this is not the first time that the two of them have performed "pre-dinner etiquette" like this.
Although this Protector Du is fierce, he is still a martial person.
At this moment, the maid came up with a wine jar.
Song Yan took over and patted open the mud and poured a bowl for each of them.
The wine flows into the porcelain bowl, spreading the amber luster, and the light falling from the sky ripples into broken gold, which is very tempting.
“Good wine!”
Hufa Du couldn’t wait to eat. He picked up a chopstick of spicy pork rinds and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he said: “Good food!”
Song Yan also started eating together.
In a blink of an eye, most of the wine was down, and the food was almost finished.
Protector Du then said: "Brother Li, actually I came today specifically to say goodbye."
"To say goodbye?"
Song Yan smiled and said, "Where are you going?"
Protector Du's angry triangular eyes glanced at the surrounding arch windows. Seeing no one there, he came closer, Hei Ran Said: "Teach your brothers to be good. There is a big chaos outside now. Many righteous Jianghu sects are fleeing from north to south, while the demonic sects are chasing after them. People are dying almost every day.
Exaggeration To put it bluntly, Jianghu Kung Fu, magic weapon secrets, etc. can be picked up with your hands
Our Flying Knife Gang is preparing to go and see our luck with the surrounding areas, especially the big brother of the Iron Bear Gang in Hanlin City.
I am here on behalf of our Flying Knife Gang. "
Song Yan sighed: "When I escaped last year, the Northland was already in chaos. I didn't expect the world to be so chaotic. "
Protector Du said: "Isn't it? Not only was the state of Wei in chaos, but also the state of Shu. "
"Shu is also in chaos? ”
Song Yan was stunned for a moment, "What does this have to do with Shu?"
Guardian Du said: "Brother, have you ever heard of the name Queen Tianyun?"
"Queen Tianyun?"
Song Yan thought for a moment and shook his head.
Du Hufa gave a thumbs up and said: "That girl is a figure, she can be regarded as the eldest sister in the world of Shu."
Immediately, he lowered his voice and said: "Last year, she was actually invited by the Immortal of Wu State to come to Wu State as a guest. But she suddenly disappeared for some reason. It is said that the Immortal was also looking for her. And there was missing from Shu State. Queen Tianyun's suppression suddenly caused chaos in the world, and it became even more chaotic when I heard that a god had run over."
Song Yan understood.
Queen Tianyun is Hua Linglong.
"Invited by the Immortal of Wu" is probably because "Hua Rong died in battle and helped Nanwu Jianmen before dying", so Nanwu Jianmen wanted to compensate, so they invited her to Wu.
The "disappearance" should be because the Nanwu Jianmen and the Puppet Sect realized that "Hua Rong" might also be a trick played by Song Yan. They couldn't find him, so they started looking for Hua Linglong. But Hua Linglong slipped very hard and disappeared all of a sudden.
"The gods went to Xishu" probably means that someone from the Puppet Sect went there to search for souls.
The entrance of the Demon Sect and the attack of dimensionality reduction naturally caused chaos in the world of Xishu.
Unexpectedly, he stole the "King of the King and Tiger's Blood" and actually caused such a big earthquake
Soon, another four months passed.
Song Yan's longevity was increased by 1254 years, and the overall life became "[Shouyuan: 29/8776]".
This outrageous and safe improvement is quite refreshing.
Song Yan also felt quite happy.
On a spring night, a cat meows outside.
In the midnight wind, the new leaves of the bamboo forest turn into waves, making a rustling sound.
But in the master bedroom of Mr. Li's house, separated only by an oil-paper window, there are two beauties nestling in Song Yan's arms, vying for favor and acting coquettishly.
Why two women?
Because last month, Mr. Li took another concubine.
This concubine is young and beautiful, with long breasts and thighs, and has also read books. After seeing Master Li’s money and status, she pretended to be a somewhat "elegant" talented girl, and wanted to Take the bait of Master Li, and then talk about important feelings, while at the same time putting "unimportant money in your pocket."
As a result, Mr. Li did not talk about feelings and directly took her as his concubine and left her on the cave
When the concubine saw that her thoughts were revealed, she stopped pretending.
Then, Lin Xianxing ushered in the "enemy of life".
The two girls bickered every day, and no one dared to care where Mr. Li spent his money.
Now, the two women are sharing the same bed, serving Song Yan together, and they are competing even harder.
Both of them showed their magical powers, and their methods were so lustful that even Song Yan was stunned.
Even though it was already midnight, it had not stopped yet.
It wasn’t until the sound of the gong and the bang of the gong at the fourth watch, accompanied by the call of the watchman passing by, “It’s dry and things are dry, be careful of the candles”, that the two women collapsed from exhaustion, with four long legs, one on the left and one on the right. The ground and Song Yan were entangled, and then fell asleep in the air of lingering scent and red candle fragrance.
Song Yan looked up at the drooping gauze curtain above his head and murmured in his heart: 'These days are really dark and dark.
However, now I have completely become a Chao Li. Mr. Li of the county, even if someone comes to find him, he can't find any flaws.
Where there is profound energy, there are constant disputes and dangers; this kind of worthless border town for mortals is really a tried and tested hiding place.’
A few days later, Protector Du returned from abroad and brought back some news from the outside world. He also took a book of unknown sword skills, which he regarded as a treasure. Only members above the gang leader are eligible to practice.
Song Yan also followed suit and practiced casually, focusing on "accompanying everyone" and at the same time understanding outside information.
Two months have passed.
Duke Du went out in a group again.
Return after half a year.
In this way, two years passed lightly.
In the past two years, in Song Yan's mansion and Zhou's mansion, the peach blossoms have withered and bloomed, bloomed and withered again.
Spring is deep now, and the wind is once again beautiful and beautiful.
There is also a "Taoyuan Restaurant" opposite the Taoyuan Butcher Shop.
This restaurant was naturally opened by Song Yan.
Originally, this restaurant was nothing, but because Protector Du of the Flying Knife Gang often went out and would bring people from outside to the county, he would always brag about it when he returned to the county, "My brother Li is very good at cooking. He has spicy pork rinds with one hand and roasted pig with the other." The neck meat is simply one of the best in the world."
That’s it.
Taoyuan Restaurant was a small-scale explosion at first.
After the second gang leader of the Tiexiong Gang in Handlin City came to secretly taste Master Li's craftsmanship and went back to promote it, Taoyuan Restaurant became completely popular.
Song Yan also had to show some martial arts, and then the little fish and shrimp came over and stopped cooking.
Later, he thought it was troublesome, so he made a rule: "Only do it once a day, and those who are destined will get it."
However, there are still many people in the world who come here because of its reputation, and even boast about eating Mr. Li's "spicy pork skin and grilled pork neck".
This is not without reason.
How high is Song Yan, and how good is his swordsmanship?
If you really focus on cooking two dishes, it will be perfect.
And through these people in the world, Song Yan learned more and more about the situation outside.
Although there is not much information about the monk world, Jianghu is the lower level of the monk world. Anything that happens in the monk world will set off bigger waves in the world.
Song Yan has learned a lot in the past few years.
First of all, the Kingdom of Wei completely disappeared and became the Kingdom of Jin.
The Jin State used the "Puppet Sect's search of Tianyun City" to annex Western Shu, and now it has almost annexed it.
Nanwu, on the other hand, seemed to have suffered heavy losses. At this time, it was defending the south and no longer took the initiative to attack.
Secondly, the demonic forces in the world held an unprecedented "tribute". They each brought their most precious gifts to the Puppet Sect standing in the center of the Three Kingdoms. It was said that they were participating in an extremely important event. Big wedding.
The groom at the wedding is said to be the heir of a peak leader of the Puppet Sect.
The bride is called "Mrs. Wang".
People in the world call "Mrs. Wang", but their expressions and attitudes are no different from calling the Fairy Queen aloof.
On this day, Song Yan finished making today's shadow puppets and was watching the guests coming in and out of the restaurant. Suddenly, a fast horse came from far away, and the sound of "dah-dah-dah" came from far to near, quick and slow.
Hufa Du got off his horse, ran to Song Yan's side, and whispered: "Brother Li, get ready, do your unique skills."
Song Yan said: "Brother Du, it's not that you don't know, I I only make one serving every day."
Duke Du said softly with a happy face: "There are monks who are casual cultivators, and they have heard about your craftsmanship and want to try it."
Song Yan was stunned.
A monk wants to try mortal craftsmanship?
Is this an excuse?
He became alert for a moment.
But Protector Du lowered his voice and said, "It's Mrs. Ling's meeting."
Song Yan said in shock: "Who is Mrs. Ling?"
Protector Du said: "Mrs. Ling is Mrs. Ling. She has gathered several casual cultivators. In addition to eating your food, they also have to do something on the way. Come on, come on, brother Li, hurry up, they are coming soon."
