"Uncle, I'll help you. ”

Xu Yi's sleep was a little heavy, and he only opened his eyes when it was dawn, and the old man had already gotten up.

Brushing his teeth and washing his face with the water in the clay jar in the courtyard, Xu Yi was not sure if the water could still be used, but seeing that the old man also used this water, he felt that the water in the clay jar should be available.

Because there is no electricity, the old man uses a firewood stove here, Xu Yi washed his face, and saw the old man waving an ax to chop wood, trembling posture, Xu Yi was afraid that the old man was flashing his waist, and hurriedly went up to help.

"Smack!"

Xu Yi, who was strong, swung the axe, but split the firewood in one fell swoop, almost breaking the wooden stake underneath, and the pupils of the old man who were watching the faint shrank slightly.

Xu Yi chopped firewood in the courtyard, and the old man burned a fire in the kitchen and cooked a pot of pasty porridge, and there were many unknown wild vegetables in the porridge, and there were too few vegetables in the rice, so it was better to call it wild vegetable soup than porridge.

Holding the firewood, Xu Yi came in and saw the ball of wild vegetables cooked in the iron pot, the corner of his eyes couldn't help twitching, and he saw that there was only a can of coarse salt and brown sugar on the stove, and there was no soy sauce, so he silently turned around and took out something to eat from his bag.

"Uncle, borrow your pot to heat a few dishes. ”

Vacuum-compressed packaging of Wang tofu, steamed chicken and shrimp rolls, when going out, Xu Yi will not treat himself badly, and even the quicksand small red bricks have been compressed and brought out in a few packs, not to mention that there are snacks such as braised pig's trotters, chicken feet, and peanuts.

The wild vegetable porridge field made by the old man was served in an enamel basin, put it aside in a small pot and warmed, Xu Yi brushed the old black pot vigorously and poured water, scooped up a small half pot of water to boil, and put the vegetables in the vacuum packaging bag in the pottery bowl and put it in the steaming grid to heat the dish with steam.

At the dinner table, the porridge made by the old man tasted good, it may be the fragrance of wild vegetables, the taste was crisp, Xu Yi ate several bowls, and beckoned the old man to eat some soft tofu and tender steamed chicken while eating.

"Sit down, I'll come, I'll come. ”

After the meal, Xu Yi took the dishes to wash the dishes, the old man put a cup of tea in his hand, looking at Xu Yi's brushing figure, the old man picked up the cup and sipped the tea, his eyes were dull, and suddenly a fine light flashed.

Xu Yi buried his head in brushing the bowl, behind him, the rotten breath on the old man's body appeared from time to time, and then, as if a translucent covering cloth had been removed, the old man swept away the appearance of the wood before he was about to die, his back was straight, and his eyes were bright.

"Old man......!"

Shaking the water in his hand, Xu Yi, who turned around, was stunned by the old man who had changed greatly.

"Y-What are you?"

Blinking, Xu Yi deeply doubted that he was dazzled at this time, is the old man in front of him the same person as the old man yesterday?

Although the old man became energetic, he still spoke little, drinking tea, his eyes glanced at Xu Yi as far as the ground, and his eyes were bright and bright.

"Where did you come from?"

The same question as last night seemed to have some deep meaning in the words.

"From where it came. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Yi replied like this.

"It's better to go back. ”

Putting down the teacup, the old man got up and stood up, and jumped to the yellow tree beside him with agility.

"Huh?!"

Xu Yi only felt that in the blink of an eye, the old man was on the tree, and before he could react, the old man picked up something from a branch and threw it straight towards Xu Yi.

Reaching out to catch the thing thrown, Xu Yi suddenly understood that this was the twenty-second material he was looking for, and when he looked at the yellow tree again, he found that it was just a shaking god, and the old man was gone.

"It's better to go back. ”

In the distance, the old man's hoarse voice was heard.

“……”

Xu Yi, who was blindfolded, looked at the direction where the voice came from, and couldn't help covering his face with one hand.

"1388, is what just happened true?"

The old man of such an age, when he says that he goes up the tree, he can't see the appearance of the old dragon clock at all, and then he thinks of the appearance that he can't even jump up the tree a few times in the park, which is really a stark contrast.

[It's true ~host~]

1388 was also shocked, and his voice was still a little shaky.

"It's not going to work. Xu Yi stabbed the mentally retarded system, since the old man had been asking him to return, Xu Yi had no choice but to go back to the hall to pack his backpack and leave.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Xu Yi saw the book placed on the table, and when he walked in, it was actually a medical book.

Sun's Medical Classics

The title of the book reminded Xu Yi of "Bai's Medical Scripture", took out the book and opened it, and on the first page, it was obviously a diagram of the tendons and veins of the legs.

Everything is strange, Xu Yi stared at this picture and looked at the origin of the medical scriptures, like the ancestor of the Bai family, he occasionally had to study the remnants of the scriptures, and he recorded them after many years.

Xu Yi suddenly thought that maybe it was not the small animal that moved with the twenty-second material yesterday, but the old man, his feet were faster than Xu Yi's, his body was light and agile, and he naturally climbed the mountain step by step like Xu Yi.

The old man said that he deliberately brought him here, so why did he let him leave?

With doubts in his heart, Xu Yi packed his backpack and went down the mountain from another way.

I didn't see it last night, but Xu Yi saw it during the day, the mountain was not too far away from the people, and then looked back at the endless peaks where he came, Xu Yi of course chose to take a shortcut, anyway, as long as there are people where there are cars, he doesn't want to climb the mountain anymore.

"It's been a tiring trip. ”

returned to G City in a daze, Xu Yi still couldn't figure out what the old man wanted to do.

"1388, are all the materials the system is looking for ownerless?", Xu Yi asked, rubbing his forehead as he threw the twenty-second material into the wooden box next to the bed.

[Drip-I don't know.] 】

Sensing that the host was in a bad mood now, 1388's guts shrank again, and he replied very carefully.

"Huh, that means you don't know what's going on?"

Frowning, Xu Yi was not very satisfied with such an answer.

[The system is only responsible for scanning the materials required by the shell and providing a host map to guide the exploration.] 】

After throwing out the system's explanation, SCP-1388 shuddered as the little fish held it, begging the host not to get too angry.

"Huh. Xu Yi smiled coldly.

This broken system is a scoundrel, it seems that the twenty-one materials found earlier, did not meet the owner, and he was lucky. Xu Yi intuitively felt that the process of collecting the last eleven materials would not be too smooth, and it was possible that he would encounter strange things like the old man.

Ignoring the rogue system anymore, Xu Yi went to his own dear little girlfriend for comfort and appeased his deceived little heart.

Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival set will be launched in the Hui Kee head office.

As a big boss and head chef, Xu Yi needs to taste the new dishes developed by the chefs, such as mooncakes with tofu filling, mooncakes with chicken filling, and mooncakes with shrimp filling.

Xu Yi faced this plate after plate of "whimsy" moon cakes, his face was an indescribable expression, every time he tried a bite, his face would be distorted for a moment, a total of thirty plates of moon cakes, even if Xu Yi only tried a small piece, he also ate as if he wanted to go out of his body.

"I think Xu Ji can push some ...... Generalized mooncakes. ”

Xu Yi, who returned to his soul, looked at the expectant eyes of the chefs, and carefully commented on the words, so as not to hurt the "fragile" hearts of these chefs. Xu Yi consciously said it very tactfully, but the chefs still drooped their shoulders, showing a frustrated expression.

"Big boss, the chicken tastes delicious, don't you like it?" Chef Fan was pushed out by other chefs to be a representative, and his eyes rolled to brush up on the chicken stuffed mooncakes he had researched.

"Ordinary mooncakes are good, such as lotus paste, egg yolk, fruit flavor or five kernels?"

After taking a sip of ice coke to suppress the shock, Xu Yi remembered the strange mooncakes he had just served, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Wuren?!"

The chefs looked at Xu Yi in shock, thinking that they were worthy of being the big boss, and they actually liked five-kernel mooncakes!

"What's wrong?" the look in his eyes made Xu Yi confused.

Many chefs shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing.

In the end, the novelty mooncakes developed by all the chefs were rejected by Xu Yi, and they could only regret to make the types of mooncakes that are commonly sold in the world, and they were listless.

Because he knew that the mooncakes made by the chefs were comparable to dark dishes, Zhang Meng, who avoided it in advance, expressed deep sympathy for Xu Yi's experience.

"Hahahaha. ”

The sound of deafening laughter echoed through the living room.

"Shut up!"

was angry with Zhang, Xu Yi angrily smashed the pomegranate in his hand.

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

Catching the pomegranate, Zhang Meng changed his smile, and Xu Yi, who was smiling, glared at him with blue tendons on his forehead: "Zhang Meng!"

"Ahem. Coughing twice, Zhang Meng saw that Xu Yi was really angry, forcibly held back his laughter, and pinched his thigh to stop laughing, but he still teased the other party.

"Lao Xu, that's also Chef Fan's hard work, why did you veto it. ”

"Fuck off, if you have the ability, you can taste the stinky tofu flavor and wait for my mooncakes. ”

God knows, when Xu Yi bit into the moon cake stuffed with stinky tofu, what kind of perseverance did he use to stabilize himself, so that he didn't make an expression that damaged his image.

"Hahahahaha!" Hearing this, Zhang Meng, who couldn't help it anymore, laughed, pinched his thighs and didn't work, he fell on the sofa and laughed like a big fool of two hundred pounds.

"Oh, stinky tofu? hahahahahaha!"

Look, the accent of my hometown is all out.

"Zhang Meng, I warn you, if you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

What about the benevolent brothers who said they were all taken away by dogs?

Xu Yi snorted coldly, stuffed a special moon cake specially brought back into Zhang Meng's mouth with lightning speed, and forcibly fed it.

"Hmm??" Zhang Meng never expected that Xu Yi had already prepared, and he was pressed to eat the eggplant mooncake he hated the most, with a look of doubt about life.

"Tsk, people, if you don't do it, you won't die. ”

Patting the moon cake residue on his hand, Xu Yi blew on his fingers, and his mood was much better.
