"What smells so fragrant?" Chen Xiaoqi closed his eyes and sniffled vigorously, "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, it's really fragrant, it's meat, right? It's meat!"

"It's meat, it's human flesh. The man named Ah Niu said teasingly.

Chen Xiaoqi's face showed horror: "People, human flesh?

Immediately, the horror on his face changed to thoughtfulness.

Ah Niu was frightened by his expression: "Actually, this is mutton, not human flesh, Xiao Qi, don't you dare to have the intention of eating human flesh." ”

The pot made a gurgling sound, and the hot water foaming at the white foam came out, and Ding Yin personally opened the lid and ran away from the steam, and then closed the lid again.

The moment the lid opened, several people tried to stretch their necks forward and sniff, their faces full of expressions of enjoyment.

"This mutton is so good, how long has it been since I've eaten mutton?"

"It's been a few years, it's been a few years, but now I'm with the immortals. ”

"Immortal, you are my grandfather!"

Chen Liu said to Ding Yin: "Old village chief, go back and rest, I'll come and see this pot of meat." ”

Ding Yin said solemnly: "No, this pot of meat must be stewed by me, who of you can compare to me in cooking skills? ”

As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly.

Chen Song's face was unbearable, these villagers were pitiful and distressing.

He brought a lot of meat and pasta, but Dante Yin only stewed a pot of mutton soup, and he arranged for an old lady and a woman to cook sorghum bread, saying that they would eat mutton soup cakes in the evening.

The dozen people were excited, no one had a different opinion about it, and it was already a good dream day for them to be able to eat sorghum bread in mutton soup.

The old lady carefully smeared a little oil on the iron pan and put the cake on it, and when the two sides were browned, she would sprinkle some salt on it, so that a cake would be baked.

When the sorghum bread was baked, Ding Yin sprinkled the chopped wild onion into the mutton soup, he stirred the broth with a spoon, and said, "Okay, old and young masters, eat meat and drink soup!"

A group of people came to the kitchen door with bowls and stared at the pots.

The thick white lamb soup is topped with dark green wild onion flowers, and the aroma is mixed with umami, which is really delicious on this cold day.

When the broth was about to come out of the pot, Ding Yin added a large scoop of water to it, and said in his mouth: "Mutton soup tastes better than mutton, drink more soup and eat less meat." ”

The mutton is cut into uniform size, the men have five pieces of meat per person, the old man and the child and the woman have three pieces of meat each, and Ding Yin, as the village head, is no exception.

The only exception is Chen Song, but Chen Song is not interested in this kind of stewed mutton, and when he saw Ding Yin about to scoop it for him, he waved his hand: "I don't eat it, I don't eat it, I'm a vegetarian, you eat it yourself." ”

"Then immortal, can you eat a piece of bread? The woman said solemnly.

Chen Song nodded and took a piece of sorghum flour cake, this thing smells really good, eating it in the mouth is not like that, when swallowing it, Chen Song feels like swallowing sandpaper, and he rubs his throat.

One bowl of broth per person, Ding Yin said: "The soup tube is enough, come back after drinking." ”

"It's like a dream. Ah Niu said with a smile, "It's worth it to die after eating this meal." ”

The young man named Ding Song shook his head and said, "I don't do it, there are still a lot of meat, at least I will die after eating them all." ”

Chen Song realized that his understanding of the end times was not thorough enough, and the predicament faced by Jiuzhou was more severe than he imagined.

Holding a large porcelain bowl, a few men ignored the broth and drank the soup in a hurry while hissing and gasping, Ding Yin said majestically: "Virtue, the immortals are here, pay attention to words and deeds!"

He picked a piece of mutton and blew it, and after blowing it cold, he put it in his grandson's bowl: "Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly." ”

After Chen Liu took a bite of the mutton, he closed his eyes and sighed, enjoying his face: "This taste is so beautiful." ”

As the old saying goes, people are hungry for seven days and eat, these people are not only hungry for seven days, they have not eaten for several years, and now when they eat mutton, they are really hungry wolves who see pig blood and are hungry!

A big pot full of mutton soup was drunk, and in the end, there was no need to brush the pot, Chen Liufu ran over and scooped several scoops of water and boiled it, and the group finally drank up the pot water.

The sky gradually darkened, and Ding Yin said: "Immortal, where do you see you sleeping tonight?" We don't have a little girl in the village, we can't warm your bed, look at this, why don't I let Yinghong warm your bed?"

Ying Hong is the woman, who is about the same age as Chen Song's mother.

Chen Song hurriedly waved his hand: "I won't stay here overnight, I have to go back to the mountain gate, you don't have to worry about me." ”

It is still dangerous under the mountain, for the sake of safety, he thinks it is better to go back to Yin and Yang Peak, at least there is natural danger.

When bidding farewell to Chen Song, the old village chief took out a golden sign the size of a child's palm from his arms and gave it to him: "Immortal, there is nothing in our mountain village that you can look at, if you don't dislike it, just accept this token, this is refined by the great elder of the Shenye Sect, and the skills should be good." ”

Chen Song took the token and immediately felt heavy in his hand, he tried the weight and asked, "Is this token forged in gold?"

The old village chief nodded and said, "Yes, it is forged from gold." ”

Chen Song gasped violently: "Hey, you have gold objects in your hands, are there anything else?"

The old village chief said: "Yes, we have a golden tablet in the ancestral hall, a gold seal at home, and miscellaneous gold rings and gold chains, do you like this thing?"

Chen Song liked, of course he liked it, he wanted to make gold seals back to Earth when he first wore them to Jiuzhou, but Tong Luanzi told him that Jiuzhou didn't recognize gold, and there was no tradition of using gold seals as coins, which caused him to die for gold and silver.

Unexpectedly, now in a deserted village, he actually came across gold!

Holding the gold medal tightly, he said: "Yes, yes, I like gold, I like this thing very much, can you give me the gold that can be collected in the village? I will exchange it for meat, and I will solve the problem of eating and drinking for your village people in the future!"

The old village chief's eyes widened, and he grinned and nodded: "Okay, good, immortals, if you say this, you will be born, if you like gold, I will let the old and young masters clean it up for you!"

He immediately went back and mobilized a dozen people, asking the big guy to take out all the gold he could find.

The big guy went to work, Chen Song chatted with Chen Xiaoqi, and through Chen Xiaoqi, he learned about the status of gold among the civilians of Jiuzhou.

Currency is not gold and silver by nature, but gold and silver are born with money, and this sentence does not apply to Jiuzhou, because the only currency in Jiuzhou is Ling Baht.

But this does not mean that gold and silver are not worth much in Jiuzhou, he asked the wrong person at the time, and the cultivators naturally look down on gold and silver in their eyes, but the common people like this thing, without him, gold and silver are beautiful, especially gold is very malleable, and it is the best choice for making jewelry.

Therefore, gold and silver cannot be found in the hands of monks, but they can be found among mortals.
