Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Guest

The setting sun stained the sky red, and the temperature around it began to plummet.

There was a small fire somewhere, the flames were constantly teasing and joking, and a few small sparks were splashed from time to time, and there was a pile of newly added dry wood beside the fire.

At this time, Liu Mu was holding a small wooden branch in his hand, and from time to time he put it into the fire to play with the red charcoal, and his eyes looked at the fire but he was a little trance.

This is a peripheral area of the Blood Thunder Mountain Range, and even though it is night, the source beasts rarely go out, so the surroundings seem to be very quiet.

The sunset slowly shrank in the sky, and a few small stars twinkled impatiently.

Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came to Yanagi's ears, and Yanagi immediately came back to his senses and looked in that direction, but he didn't seem panicked, and he didn't stand up, because Yanagi sensed that it was a person's footsteps, very gentle and not murderous.

After a while, a delicate and lovely figure came into view, on the figure a waist-length black ponytail kept jumping and swaying in the breeze, and the ponytail was tied with a thin rope with two small blue crystal beads like its eyes.

Qiaoke's figure stopped not far away, his eyes staring at the willow wood, a little surprised, a little delighted, and a little shy.

"Tang Xiaoke?"

Liu Mu recognized Qiao Ke's figure at a glance, she was the daughter of Tang Niu who had rescued her once a few days ago, Liu Mu was a little surprised how could this Tang Xiao Ke suddenly appear here.

"What about your father?"

Seeing him slowly walking towards him, Liu Mu asked softly.

"I'm alone!"

Tang Xiaoke walked to the fire and replied in a playful voice.

"Isn't your father afraid of any danger to your little girl?"

When Liu Mu heard this, he was surprised.

"What's there to worry about, I'm already connected to the second vein, and I also have the self-defense seal you gave me, and... I'm not young, I'm almost thirteen!"

Tang Xiaoke tiptoed beside the fire, the firelight reflected on his delicate and cute little face, and his little hands kept tugging and twisting his dress when he spoke, which was very cute and moving.

Liu Mu heard the words and looked at the little girl in front of him seriously, her height was slightly shorter than Liu Yiwei's five centimeters, but she was not short, they were all relatively petite and slim types, but when she saw her before, Tang Xiaoke had been hiding behind Hu San, Liu Mu saw that her appearance was immature and cute, and her voice was crisp and childish, so she felt that she was a very young girl.

"Uh~, that, sit down. ”

Looking at this, Liu Mu felt a little embarrassed.

When Tang Xiaoke heard this, he slowly squatted on the ground with his knees crossed, and then stared at Liu Mu with flickering eyes.

"Well, how did you find here?"

Liu Mu felt a little embarrassed to be stared at quietly by such a cute girl in front of him, and hurriedly asked.

"Hmm~, I happened to be passing by. ”

Tang Xiaoke pursed his lips slightly and thought for a while, and then replied.

"Well, that's a bit of a coincidence. ”

As soon as Liu Mu's words fell, a grunting sound suddenly sounded from Tang Xiaoke's stomach.

The next moment, Tang Xiaoke's face immediately turned red, and he shyly hid his little head in his knees.

When Liu Mu heard the voice, he also felt a little overwhelmed, and it was not right to ask questions, and it was not appropriate to remain silent, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

However, at a certain moment, Liu Mu suddenly remembered something, and immediately said with some excitement: "Xiao Ke, do you want to help me comment on my craft?"

"Your craft?"

Tang Xiaoke paused when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Liu Mu to ask her to taste the food, and he was immediately delighted.

Seeing that Tang Xiaoke agreed, Liu Mu did not hesitate, first put a few dry firewood into the fire, let it continue to expand the flame, and then hit two wooden stakes on both sides of the fire, and then made two pits on the two wooden stakes, and took out a big beast leg that had been strung with wooden sticks from the source ring.

I saw that the skin and flesh on the legs of the big beast were slightly opened, and there was some paint stuck to it in the flesh, obviously this was a beast leg that had been pickled, but the skin and flesh of the animal leg looked relatively fresh, and it should not be marinated for a long time.

Liu Mu roasted the big beast leg frame above the fire, the distance was just right, not easy to burn, and easy to be roasted by the heat, and then Liu Mu took out a jar of prepared sesame oil from the source ring, and a few small bottles of medicine bottles that I didn't know what they contained, but I thought it should be some seasoning materials.

In his hand, Liu Mu held a brush made from the hair of a source beast, glued with oil, and smeared the animal's legs with one hand and turned the animal's legs with the other, and the whole process went smoothly.

Liu Mu didn't notice it at this time, Tang Xiaoke's eyes and mouth were already wide open, all showing the shock in his heart! You must know that Tang Xiaoke is responsible for the current cooking in the house, and his father Tang Niu can't cook for half a minute, not only will he not, but the kitchen will suffer as soon as he touches it, so angry that Tang Xiaoke will not allow his father to go to the kitchen again.

And now, Liu Mu not only controls the smooth flow, but also seems to have its own unique processes and ingredients, which can be said to make Tang Xiaoke amazed and admired!

Liu Mu saw that the legs of the big beast had been almost oiled, and took out a small hanging pot from the source ring, and then filled three bowls of water into the hanging pot, grabbed two unknown tender green leaf buds, a small spoonful of oil, and then placed a wooden stick horizontally in the pit on the top of the two wooden stakes, and finally hung the hanging pot on this wooden stick, the whole process is still so smooth and pleasing to the eye.

"It'll be almost cooked later, and then I can eat it with some seasoning I made myself, and I won't wait too long. ”

After finishing the process just now, Liu Mu looked at Tang Xiaoke with some confidence and smiled, one hand still rhythmically flipping the wooden stick with the legs of the big beast.

"Hmm!"

Looking at the confident and gentle face, Tang Xiaoke couldn't help but get excited.

After a while, a rich smell of meat began to spread, it was a kind of meat fragrance that deeply satisfied the willow wood, it was the catalyst that hooked the mouth, and the willow wood felt like this.

Tang Xiaoke's stomach rumbled again, but fortunately, Liu Mu also responded with a slight grunt, and it seemed that the hungry insects in their stomachs were a little impatient.

Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Mu opened several medicine bottles prepared in advance, and then sprinkled them evenly on the legs of the large beast that had been roasted until golden brown, and then sprinkled some of them into the boiling soup in the hanging pot.

After doing this, the firewood in the fire was basically burned out, leaving only a pile of red charcoal, exuding a warm residual temperature, which shows that the amount of firewood is also controlled just right.

Liu Mu took out two square wooden boards, two white porcelain plates, two black porcelain bowls, two small soup spoons, two pairs of small bamboo chopsticks, and a sharp knife from the source ring.

Liu Mu used a knife to cut the skin and flesh on the legs of the big beast and stack them neatly on two white porcelain plates, and then used a small wooden spoon to put the hot soup in the small hanging pot into the black porcelain bowl, just two bowls.

Finally, Liu Mu picked up the square wooden board and walked slowly to Tang Xiaoke's side, and then placed the square wooden board gently and carefully on the ground, and on the square wooden board seemed to be a white porcelain plate containing golden fragrant animal leg meat, a black porcelain bowl with hot clear soup, and a small soup spoon lying in the bowl, and a pair of clean small bamboo chopsticks neatly placed vertically.

After Liu Mu put down the square plank, he immediately returned to his position, and then looked at Tang Xiaoke with great anticipation and smiled: "Okay, you are my first guest, the hospitality is not good, please use it slowly." ”
