Qin Xu had read a Western novel before, and the witch in it usually collected all kinds of strange materials.

Such as the claws of rats, the teeth of beetles, the hair of maidens, the grass of graveyards......

These witches use these materials to make potions or cast magic.

He really didn't expect that he would have such a day, riding an electric car, taking a bus, running around the city and countryside, looking for all kinds of strange things.

Dry moss growing on the east rooftop.

Three-year-old cobwebs.

Old tree vines on the shady hillside.

……

It's all weird stuff, it's not unusual, but it takes a while to find it.

Qin Xu asked the police station leader for two days off.

Fortunately, the occupation that is difficult to take leave on weekdays can be specially approved thanks to the unexpected blessing a few days ago.

Old Master Qin's state of spirit, the strength of the cultivator was completely lost, and he only retained a part of his keen observation ability, and after Qin Xu ran all over the city of Chaohai City, he still collected things neatly.

In the past two days, this little fragrant pig bought back from the sky farm has lived a very leisurely life in Qin Xu's house.

Qin Xu's mother, Liu Amei, although she doesn't quite understand why Qin Xu, who has never had much enthusiasm for small animals, would take a little pig home, but this little fragrant pig who likes to sleep lazily seems to remind Liu Amei of the days when she fed pigs in her hometown in Northeast China in her childhood.

She was immediately very interested, not only ran to the construction site to get waste bricks and stones, built a simple pigsty for the little fragrant pig in the yard, but also had three meals a day, including loving feeding.

When Qin Xu came back after two days of busy messing, he found that this little fragrant pig who was racing with the little doll every day on the air farm was completely living a happy life of eating and opening his mouth and being lazy every day.

Qin Xu was holding a tattered bamboo broom in his hand.

This is what he got from the countryside next to Chaohai City, and it is the last material of Kaiguang Xiaoxiang Pig.

Poked the broom at the little fragrant pig.

"Whoa, whoa!" Lying sideways in the big drawer that Liu Amei got out of nowhere, the little eyes in the dark circles didn't open, and she flicked her tail lazily, and the little fragrant pig didn't pay attention to Qin Xu at all.

"Could it be that when I was in the air farm, I was forced to exercise too much, which caused my laziness to explode now?" Qin Xu muttered to himself.

"What about the big wine vat you are talking about?" Old Master Qin was dissatisfied with the state of the little fragrant pig.

As a five-hundred-year-old ancestor and the librarian of the Immortal Beast Sect, although Master Qin is not good at cultivating, his horizons are broad!

It can be said that he has read all the beasts, thousands of birds, and insects, and his eyesight is fine.

A little beast with only a talent for smell is not as amazing as strawberry cake.

"Oh, oh," Qin Xu was reminded by Old Master Qin, and immediately remembered what was going on, ran to the location of the utility room on the first floor, rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found a black pottery wine jar with a sense of age, about one meter high, and the diameter of the cylinder mouth was sixty centimeters.

"Xu Zai, what are you moving this thing for?" Liu Amei poked her head out of a room on the left side of the courtyard, her hair was stained with some flour crumbs, and she asked strangely when she saw Qin Xu's big movement.

Next to the kitchen on the first floor, Liu Amei has a studio, which is neatly cleaned and fully equipped, specifically for her to make dumplings.

Since Qin Xu was a child, his mother's Northeast cabbage and pork dumplings have been very popular among neighbors and relatives.

Every day when Liu Amei finishes her housework, she likes to hide in the studio and make dumplings, basically Liu Amei's orders are scheduled for three days later.

Liu Amei is also very up-to-date with the trend of the times.

Twenty years ago, I booked by phone.

Ten years ago, the order was placed online.

Now the mobile phone is open.

It is estimated that the monthly income is much higher than Qin Xu's dead salary.

"It's okay, by the way, my dad used to go on a picnic with his friends, it seems that there is a small iron stove, where to hide, I am useful. Qin Xu placed the wine jar in the middle of the courtyard and asked.

"On the top floor, next to the pile of empty flower pots. ”

When Liu Amei finished wrapping a table of dumplings and put them in the freezer, she came out to see that her son had already set up a stove with an iron shelf in the yard, and the big wine vat at home was racked, and the fire was burned with an iron stove underground, and at the same time he was carrying a bucket of water and adding water to it.

The situation of "......" always reminds her of her son's troubleshooting at home when he was young.

Removed two wedding watches, smashed a radio, and cut a string of pearl necklaces......

Wait, don't think too much, my son has grown up.

Trust Him.

"It's okay, Mom, I'll cook something. Qin Xu put down the bucket, wiped the sweat on his head, and explained.

The wine tank was full of water, and Qin Xu began to start a fire.

In the past two days, he got the firewood from the mountain according to the guidance of Master Lao Qin, and placed it neatly in the corner of the small courtyard.

The burning firewood, the withered vines, the old wooden stakes that burned continuously, and the pine needles that were thriving, were enough for him to burn in the yard.

When the fire burned, Qin Xu's grandparents were also brought out.

The old couple walked out of the room holding hands and smiling, and Grandpa Qin Xu asked in a hoarse but very energetic voice, "Sun Sun, what delicious food do you want to cook?" ”

Qin Xu, who was about to go to the pigsty and pick up the little fragrant pig, didn't know how to explain it inexplicably, so he had to smile awkwardly and said, "Well, no, it's either cooking something to eat, or buying a pet pig, and I think it's a little dirty, so disinfect it." ”

"Ouch, son, you're not sterilizing, toss like this, and when the piglets come out of the wine tank, they can be served directly, sliced and dipped in soy sauce. Liu Amei couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that she had given birth to a stupid son.

"Mom, believe me, it's absolutely fine. "The main thing is that Qin Xu believes in Old Master Qin more.

"The little pigs have to be roasted, and they don't taste good when cooked. Grandpa Qin Xu shook his head disapprovingly, and continued, "Sun Sun, your skills are not good, grandpa knows a chef in a vegetable hall, and he is good at roasting suckling pig, do you want to stop wasting ingredients?"

“…… I'm really not cooking meat. ”

The little fragrant pig who had just been relieved from the hard work of accompanying the air farm did not know that the next door was discussing his own handling methods, snoring and sleeping very sweetly.

"The heat is just right, and you can put it in the pot. Old Master Qin's faint prompt sounded, Qin Xu didn't explain more, and directly picked up the little fragrant pig lying on his stomach, "plopped", and threw it into the big wine vat where the water was boiling.

Liu Amei's heart jumped, and before she could shout, the confused little fragrant pig poked out its black head from the wine tank, stared at a pair of staring eyes, and put its forelimbs on the edge of the wine tank, looking at Liu Amei in the boiling water.

In the imagination, the scene of the piglet's painful howl did not appear, and when I got closer, the little guy's round body was swinging in the water with a leisurely appearance, as if it was not a wine vat with fire at the bottom, but a hot spring pool in a five-A scenic spot.
