Yufu,

As early as the early days of construction, Yu Li had people focus on designing a large area of lush gardens and woods in the courtyard for Yu Mansion, Yu Li's preference for plants has led to the fact that most of Yu Mansion is now occupied by flowers and trees, and some houses have even been wrapped in layers of trees, if you want to enter and exit, you have to carefully bypass those growing branches in a disorderly manner.

In front of a house in the middle of the Yu Mansion, there is a clearing surrounded by trees, above the clearing, there are two people, one big and one small, looking at his eyebrows, this older man, is the city lord Yu Li who landed in Jincheng twelve years ago, because of his insistence on practicing martial arts and proper maintenance, in addition to being thinner, Yu Li's appearance has not changed much from twelve years ago, and beside him, he is a childish child, the child's cheeks still have obvious baby fat, and the facial features are not yet three-dimensional, and it is estimated that he is only about ten years old.

The child's name was Yu Xuan, eleven years old, Yu Li's son, and gave birth to a son with his wife in the second year after Yu Li came to Jincheng.

At this time, Yu Li was striding on the horse, clenching his fists with both hands, looking straight ahead, and quickly punching in front of him, although the action was simple, but each punch was strong and powerful, causing bursts of wind.

After a few punches, Yu Li put away his horse steps, stood up straight, looked at Yu Xuan, and motioned for him to imitate it with his eyes.

This is the most basic boxing fight, the foundation that must be laid before practicing martial arts, but Yu Xuan is obviously not interested in this, his horse steps are loose, his expression is sluggish, and he pretends to make a punch with all his strength, but he doesn't even straighten his arm.

Within a few punches, Yu Xuan stood up straight, looked at Yu Li pitifully, and said in a childish voice: "Dad, I want to eat baked cakes." ”

Yu Li wanted to try his best to make his eyes more serious, but looking at Yu Xuan's eyes that were trying to squeeze out some tears and make himself look more pitiful, Yu Li still couldn't be stern after all, but he still said unwillingly: "Xuan'er, Dad lets you learn boxing, it doesn't require you to work hard, Dad just needs you to try not to be so perfunctory, it is enough to achieve some physical fitness effects, you look like this, if your father and mother are not there in the future, you have to be self-reliant, so what should you do?" A good body is the foundation of everything, without a good body, if you want to do anything, you will be dragged down by the body when the time comes....."

"Got it, got it. Yu Xuan hurriedly interrupted, he felt that his father was good at everything, but the problem of liking to chatter whenever he had something to say was really annoying, and after a few perfunctory words casually, he hurriedly ran towards the door, waving his hand backwards as he ran: "Dad, come back and bring you a baked cake." ”

Looking at Yu Xuan's back, Yu Li couldn't smile bitterly, when he was young, he thought that he would be fearless even if he faced any personnel, but after he became a family, among the three members of this family, he was the soft-spoken person, not to mention the hot-tempered lady, even the son who was only in his early ten years old was helpless.

"What about Yu Xuan, this kid, why did he slip away again in a blink of an eye?!"

Just as he was thinking, a loud female voice came from behind Yu Li, and when he turned his head, a heroic woman was holding two glasses of water, and when she saw that there was only one person in front of her, her face suddenly turned a little angry.

This woman was the woman next to her when she came to Jincheng with Yu Li, and she was also Yu Li's wife, Ye Qing.

Yu Li smiled helplessly at his wife, spread his hands, and said that he couldn't help it, but this attitude made Ye Qing even more annoyed, and she casually put two glasses of water on the stone table on the side: "I don't understand, whether you are Yu Xuan's father or Yu Xuan's father, you don't have the slightest look like a father, if you go on like this, what will the child be spoiled by you?" But if you are a little tougher, Yu Xuan shouldn't be like this, the whole is idle, never doing business, wandering the streets every day, if it weren't for the people who knew him, he would have been regarded as an orphan whose father and mother died early!"

In the face of his wife's ugly words, Yu Li didn't dare to refute, since he knew her, Ye Qing has always been this character, and when he arrived in Jincheng, he was still the same, when he first arrived in Jincheng, in just half a year, Mrs. Ye's temper was already famous, and there was a loud reprimand in the Yu Mansion from time to time that the surrounding streets could hear clearly, and when they heard this reprimand, the people around them would smile, and then began to speculate on what their city master had committed again, and how long would they be trained this time.

And after Yu Xuan was born, Ye Qing's reprimand object changed from one person to two, every time Yu Li made Ye Qing unsatisfactory, then Yu Li would lower his head and let his wife reprimand him on the whiteboard, but Yu Xuan on the side also gloated, and from time to time he would echo a few voices, but if Yu Xuan was naughty, Ye Qing would also admonish him strictly, and even occasionally pick up the guys around him, or sticks or strips, and hit Yu Xuan, and at this time, Yu Li would hurriedly come out and stop his wife's radical actions softly, but often so, Ye Qing would turn the spearhead to Yu Li, and in the end, it became a funny scene in which Ye Qing reprimanded Yu Li and Yu Xuan coaxed on the side。

The people of Jincheng know the fiery temper of Mrs. Ye of Yufu, and they also know the infinite doting of the city lord for his son.

Yu Xuan, who had just arrived at the door, heard the voice of his father being reprimanded behind him, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart, but when he stepped out of the threshold, this guilt was left behind.

There are two vertical and horizontal streets at the entrance of Yufu, this is the year Yu Li specially built to expand the commercial street, cheap rent, plus located at the gate of the city lord's mansion, attracted many businessmen or people who are ready to do business to open a shop here, there are these two streets, in just one year, the east of the city has taken off the title of "poor in the east of the city", because these two streets crisscross and crisscross, forming the word "ten", so the people call it "cross street", after a few years, come and go, "cross street" has become the official street name of this street.

Yu Xuan walked on the street, and when the merchants on both sides saw it, they would stop what they were doing, and call "Little Yuzi" with a smile.

After walking a few steps, I came to a baked cake shop, the owner of the baked cake shop is a mother-in-law who is more than half a hundred years old, her name is Guiou, a native of Jincheng, was originally a woman who made a living by washing clothes and sewing pants for others.

According to Yu Li, the baked cake originated from the army, and on the battlefield, every war could not predict how long it would last, so the lack of resources and the shortage of food were things that every old army must have experienced, so they had to do everything possible to make the limited food last long enough, and the baked cake was drummed out in this situation.

Therefore, the cooks of a certain army put a little meat in the dough and roasted it on the fire, and after it was cooked, they could not only satisfy their hunger, but also really taste the meat, but this practice always appeared that even if the dough was baked and burned, the innermost part was not yet cooked.

Compared with those cooks in the army, Yu Li's skills in making baked cakes are extremely rough, in fact, what he taught Gui Ou is just the concept of how to make baked cakes.

But what people never expected was that Gui Ou, as an ordinary woman, had ordinary cooking skills, but only relying on Yu Li's vague teaching, the first baked cake made tasted good enough to be comparable to those street foods, so within a few days, Gui Ou opened his own baked cake shop on Cross Street.

Now, after more than ten years of technical precipitation, Guiou has put a lot of Jincheng's unique side dishes in addition to meat in the baked cake, mixed with the meat, plus the baking time is just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a bite down, the taste lasts for a long time in the cavity, it is one of the unique local specialties of Jincheng, and there are many local residents in Jincheng who have been inherited by Guiou and went to all parts of the country to open shops, Jincheng baked cakes have become a well-known snack in Yuguo all over the country.

Yu Xuan came to the store and greeted Gui Ou cordially: "Aunt Gui is good." ”

Gui Ou smiled and nodded, and handed over a baked cake, back then she was just an extremely ordinary woman in Jincheng, if it weren't for Yu Li, there would never be such a scene, therefore, she also loved Yu Xuan as her own child, and she loved her in every way, and every time she passed, she would inevitably invite Yu Xuan to come over and eat a baked cake.

After taking the baked cake, Yu Xuan suddenly smiled, and took a big bite, due to his mother's strict discipline, Yu Xuan has almost no pocket money on weekdays, although occasionally his father will secretly give some, but his father's family status does not allow him to hide too much private money, so it is Yu Xuan's extremely satisfying thing to come to Aunt Gui's store to eat a baked cake.

After eating the baked cakes, Yu Xuan chatted with Aunt Gui for a few words, said hello, and wanted to leave, but after walking a few steps, when Gui Ou turned back to make the baked cakes, he sneakily took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, quickly poured some spices on the counter, and then turned around and walked towards the west of the city.

The contents of that bottle were Yu Xuan's idle at home picking some of the devil peppers planted by his father and grinding them into powder, Yu Xuan had never tasted the devil peppers, but I heard my father say that even if it was just a shallow taste, it was enough to make people and hurt for three days. Although Aunt Gui is good to herself, but Yu Xuan has always let go of tricks, last time Yu Xuan put powder ground from bitter tears, I heard that some customers who ate it drank three pots of sugar water before they eased up.

But the proud Yu Xuan didn't know that after he walked away, Aunt Gui, who turned her head, smiled and poured the spices on the table into the waste bucket with ease.

Before Yu Li came to Jincheng, the west of the city was an inaccessible place, and few people visited, and now, there is no real remote place in the whole Jincheng, as for the west of the city, it has become a home for many people who have moved from other towns and towns, compared to other places in Jincheng, it is indeed a lot more deserted.

To the west of the city, the biggest difference with other places in Jincheng is that this row of rough brick houses, because most of the people here are dragged from other more remote places, after coming to Jincheng, there is not much time spent on building houses, so most of the houses are built in a hurry, the simple can only barely live people, and most of the people here are not harsh on the requirements for living conditions, even if they make money later, few people will renovate in the later stage, over time, this row of simple houses has become a major feature of the west of the city。

Yu Xuan came to a stop in front of a brick house, on both sides of which were stables, and there were six or seven horses in it, each of which was fat and strong, and was full of energy.

Yu Xuan buckled the door: "Xie Ma, come out to play." ”

After a while, the door opened, and it was a little fat man who opened the door, the same age as Yu Xuan, looking at the figure, but there should be three Yu Xuan, the little fat man rubbed his little eyes, and complained a little: "Why did you get up so early, I haven't woken up yet!"

Yu Xuan looked into the house, there was a man and a woman in the house, they were Xie Ma's parents, Xie Zheng and Zhang Han.

Seeing that Xie Ma's parents were behind him, Yu Xuan swallowed the words that he wanted to scold, and said with a smile to the couple behind him: "Uncle Xie, Aunt Zhang, I'm here to play with Xie Ma." ”

For this Jincheng City Lord's son and his son's only friend, Xie Zheng and Zhang Han were obviously very familiar with each other, and they smiled at Yu Xuan and nodded: "Go ahead." ”

After receiving the answer, Yu Xuan politely said goodbye to Xie Zheng and his wife, turned around and pulled Xie Ma down the street.

Xie Ma, who had just woken up, was obviously still a little confused, and let Yu Xuan pull him, and after walking out of the way, Yu Xuan shook Xie Ma's hand and said breathlessly: "You dead fat man, you really won't step a step if you don't let you go!"

Xie Ma tidied up the deformed cuffs that were pulled by Yu Xuan, and said with some grievances: "You don't mention where to go, you let me take a step, in case we want to go to a different place in our hearts, you go this way, I go that way, then in the end, I will drag you away!"

Facing Xie Ma's poor mouth, Yu Xuan didn't pay attention to it, while sighing that this Xie fat man can eat like this, he supported his knees with both hands to adjust his breath, and after resting for a while, he waved his big hand: "Let's climb that floating cloud mountain today!"

"Huh?" Xie Ma's face instantly turned ugly, "Don't you go fishing in the Foggy Lake?"

Foggy Lake is a somewhat strange lake not far from Jincheng City, listening to the local old people in Jincheng, Foggy Lake was originally just an ordinary small lake, although the lake is small, the fish in the lake are extremely fat, so occasionally people in neighboring cities will call friends to go fishing when they are free, but it is also a rare leisure place in this vicinity.

But I don't know which day, the lake suddenly derived a thick fog, just hanging above the lake, wrapping it heavily, since then, the fish and shrimp in the lake have become more and more strange, the body is a little incredible, if only that's the case, it would be a good thing, but at the same time as the body of these fish and shrimp has become larger, the taste of the meat has become more and more strange, since the fog stayed above the foggy lake for three or four months, the smell of fish and shrimp has become extremely fishy, difficult to swallow.

Until now, the fog is still hovering above the foggy lake, and the smell of fish and shrimp in the lake is still so fishy, but the strange thing is that Xie Ma accidentally tasted the fish caught from the foggy lake when he was a child, and he actually fell in love with eating this smelly meat in the mouths of others, and even to the point of extremely loving it, Xie Ma's parents were puzzled, but seeing that Xie Ma had no adverse reactions after eating it a few times, they also went with him.

After getting to know Yu Xuan, Xie Ma asked Yu Xuan to go fishing with him to the Fog Lake every once in a while, Yu Xuan was startled when he saw the big fish caught from the Fog Lake for the first time, these big fish are huge, even comparable to half the size of Yu Xuan, and the fish whiskers are also extremely long, but fortunately, they are not aggressive, but they will struggle like ordinary fish.

After Yu Xuan tasted the taste, he didn't feel how unpalatable, but the taste was indeed very different from ordinary fish, and Yu Xuan didn't like it, so he went to Fog Lake to fish twice in three days.

"I know how to eat, didn't I just go fishing with you the day before yesterday? Such a big fish was eaten in two days? This body shape mouth is still so greedy, aren't you afraid that one day you will be supported and die?"

Yu Xuan jumped up and knocked a chestnut on Xie Ma's head, which seemed a little funny because Xie Ma was much taller than him.

Xie Ma didn't resist, just lowered his head, and his mouth seemed to be muttering something, which must not be a good thing anyway.

Yu Xuan didn't care about him, his eyes stared at a mountain in the distance, that is Fuyun Mountain, which can be regarded as a mountain that can be a landmark in Jincheng, because the mountain peak is towering into the clouds, standing on the top of the mountain, and even occasionally can touch a few naughty floating clouds that float down from the sky, hence the name, Yu Xuan was born in Jincheng, but because he is too young and his physical strength can't keep up, he has never climbed the top of Fuyun Mountain that almost everyone in Jincheng has been on, today he wants to try it, what is it like to stand on the top of Fuyun Mountain and overlook Jincheng.

Thinking of this, Yu Xuan was high-spirited, waved his hand, and shouted in the tone that he thought was the most heroic: "Go!"

However, this fighting spirit is a little weak, just walked from Jincheng to the foot of Fuyun Mountain, panting Yu Xuan, looking at Xie Ma who was crying and sad, sitting on the side, the only fighting spirit and the little physical strength left in his heart seemed to be unable to support him to climb Fuyun Mountain.

Yu Xuan looked up at the top of the floating cloud mountain that could not be seen at a glance, and the surging retreat finally swallowed up all the fighting spirit.

Forget it, looking at the appearance of this fat man, wanting to climb to the top of the mountain is obviously tantamount to a fool's dream, and I, Yu Xuan, am not a person who will abandon my friends, so let's conquer this Fuyun Mountain next time!

As soon as the thought turned, Yu Xuan no longer had any worries, sat down cross-legged with peace of mind, and rested side by side with the fat man Xie.
