Zhong Jialei sat by the stove and looked at the stew in the cauldron, as time went by, the aroma of meat wafting out of the pot became stronger and stronger, and the tempting fragrance spread in the kitchen, Zhong Jialei couldn't help but say: "It's really fragrant." ”

The iron arm on the side said with his eyes shining: "Jia Lei, is this meat stewed, can you eat it?"

Zhong Jialei said: "Don't worry, there is not enough time, you have to wait a little longer." ”

Tie Jian said: "It will take a while, then I'll wait outside the house, and remember to call me when the meal is served." He walked out of the house.

After a while, the rice in the other pot was already cooked, and the fragrant rice made people smell and increase their appetite, and the rat king said: "Oh, how can you fly and not come back, he said that he went to the mountains to practice, could it be that he forgot the meal?"

Zhong Jialei said: "If you really forget that he also asked for it, we can't wait for one of the three of us, just let him come back and eat leftovers." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Kefei's voice came from outside the house: "Okay, Jia Lei, I'm just coming back late, you're going to let me eat leftovers." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, you will really pick the time, you will come back as soon as this meal is cooked, you don't have to do anything, just open your mouth for dinner." ”

Marco Fei said: "Look at your careful eyes, what you say is called a sour." Why do I open my mouth for dinner, I don't work in the kitchen on weekdays, but I will come back later today, and you have so much to say. ”

Zhong Jialei smiled: "I'm joking with you, you came back just in time, the rice is already cooked, and the meat in the pot is almost ready to come out of the pot, you go and prepare the dishes and chopsticks, let's prepare the meal." ”

Marco Fei said: "Wait, I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks." ”

After only a moment, the dishes and chopsticks were placed on the table, along with fragrant rice and several large bowls of meat and broth, Zhong Jialei, the Rat King, Ma Kefei, and Tie Jian sat around to eat and drink. Zhong Jialei said while eating: "Kefei, how are you practicing your summoning technique?"

Ma Kefei said: "I have some eyebrows, but this summoning technique is not easy to practice, it is estimated that it will take some time, how is your Hun Yuan sword technique practiced?"

Zhong Jialei said: "It's early, I haven't had time to practice recently, let's talk about it when the village is cleaned up." ”

The Rat King said: "Jia Lei, don't forget what I told you, if you have time to go to the city to buy some seeds and seedlings of fruits and vegetables, let's take the time to come out of the whole land, and we will have to eat in the future." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Rat King, I don't think you have anything to do, why bother letting me go, it's better to go by yourself." ”

The Rat King said: "No, I have something to do, and you are not in a hurry about this, just go there when you have time." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Okay, this matter is on me, you can do your business." ”

Marco Fei said: "What is the Rat King doing, he will not reveal it to us. ”

The Rat King said a little mysteriously: "Keep it secret for the time being, and I'll tell you later." ”

The four of them chatted while eating, and the meal was quickly eaten, and after eating, the four of them had to rest as usual, after all, they still had work to do in the afternoon, and they had to rest and recuperate, so they went back to the house to rest.

In the next few days, the four of them were busy, the Rat King and Marco Fei went out early and returned late, one was busy with the business of keeping it secret temporarily, and the other was busy practicing summoning techniques, while Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian spent their minds on how to take care of the cottage, through the continuous efforts of the two, the appearance of the cottage was completely renewed, not only the damaged fence was replaced, but the ground that was originally dirt was also paved with stone slabs, and the whole cottage looked much cleaner and tidy, which was very different from the original almost deserted appearance.

On this day, Zhong Jialei, who had completed the task of renovating the cottage, planned to go down the mountain to buy goods, and the iron arm who had nothing to do went with him, and the two walked slowly down the mountain. Zhong Jialei said as he walked: "Iron arm, do you have a place to go down the mountain this time?"

Tie Jian said: "What's the matter, we should go to the Bai Mansion of Yunfeng's family to take a look, we haven't seen Qingfeng, Jingyang and Yunfeng for a few days." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "That's right, I don't know what they are busy with in the city, if they are not busy, it is better to go back to the cottage with us to reclaim the land." ”

Tie Jian said: "That's not it, what's the energy to walk around the city every day, and I don't know how much land has been reclaimed if I have that spare time." ”

The two walked and chatted, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the avenue at the foot of the mountain, at this time there were cars and horses passing by on the avenue from time to time, and the pedestrians gradually increased, and it was normal to think about it, after all, it was close to Mingcheng, and there were always people who wanted to go back and forth between the city and the countryside. Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian rode forward, and suddenly a shout came from behind them: "Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong." ”

Zhong Jialei was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that someone is calling me." Saying that, when he looked back, he saw that Huzi was driving a big car coming towards him, and the car was full of corn, Zhong Jialei said happily: "Huzi, why are you, but it's too coincidental, are you going to the city?"

Huzi said with a smile: "It's really Brother Zhong, I thought I was wrong, this year's corn harvest is good, I am going to pull this cart of corn into the city to sell, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really good." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Iron Arm and I are about to go into the city to buy some items, so we can go together." ”

Huzi said: "When I came, I thought about going to Brother Bai's mansion to see you, but I didn't expect to meet you halfway, where did you come from?"

Zhong Jialei pointed to the big mountain in the distance and said: "Have you seen it, we came from that mountain, just because we had nothing to do in the city and were idle, I moved into the mountain with the Rat King, Iron Arm, and Kefei a few days ago, and there was a cottage there, which was the place where I and Qingfeng and Jingyang first came to Mingcheng." ”

Huzi said: "I see, then why didn't Brother Jing and Brother Yi stay with you, could it be that they still have important things to do in the city?"

Zhong Jialei said: "They also say the same, but I don't know what's going on, we have to ask them when we enter the city today, if there is nothing to do, let them help you sell corn, and then I will lead you around the city, do you say okay?"

Hu Zixi said: "That's great, don't hide it from Brother Zhong, although my home is not far from Mingcheng, but I haven't been around the city well since I was a child, and I have come to do things with the villagers a few times, and I can only look at it a few times, and there are no relatives in the city who can take refuge, so I can only go home after finishing my work." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Then this time I have to let you walk around the city." Saying that, the three of them talked and laughed together and went to Mingcheng. The three of them walked all the way and entered Mingcheng smoothly, the city was still a lively scene of traffic, and the three of them didn't have the intention to look at those excitement, and went straight to the Baifu mansion.

Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian were familiar with the road, and took the tiger to the front of the Baifu mansion, and the people in front of the Baifu saw that the guests in the mansion were coming and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them with a smile, Zhong Jialei said: "Bai Gongzi can be in the mansion at this time?"

The next person said: "Bai Gongzi, Jing Shaoxia, and Yi Shaoxia went to Yipin Villa a few days ago, and they haven't returned yet, Zhong Shaoxia please come in first, the lord and the lady are in the house." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "It's okay, then let's go first to greet the lord and wife." Said that he walked into the mansion with Iron Arm and Huzi.
