"Knock knock!" The door of the butcher's house was closed, and Lin Qingran stepped forward and knocked on the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Who!" A gruff voice came from inside the door.

"Is Butcher Zhao at home? Something to look for! ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Squeak-" The door opened, and a large, slightly fierce-looking man stepped out of the door.

"What's the matter with me?" After a close conversation, Lin Qingran realized that the butcher uncle's voice was not ordinary.

"Hello, I want to practice the peeling skills, can you teach me?"

"No time!" Butcher Zhao looked impatient, turned around and walked towards the courtyard, and the whole person looked a little anxious.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Lin Qingran is not annoyed, many times NPCs such a situation means that there are special circumstances, and it is very likely that they can receive special tasks.

"Can you help me?!" Butcher Zhao turned around abruptly and looked at Lin Qingran with bright eyes.

was a little apprehensive by him, Lin Qingran nodded.

Butcher Zhao ran up to her excitedly, and couldn't help but confirm again and again, "Can you really help me??" ”

"Uh...... Can you tell me what trouble you're having? Lin Qingran was a little frightened, so he had to ask.

"That's right, my mother-in-law has a body, and her appetite is not very good, and today I want to eat bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest specialty of Wuli Pavilion outside the town. But this bamboo shoot is not easy to find, how can it take a long time to come and go, and I am worried that she will have any trouble at home, it just so happens that you are here, can you help me go to Wuli Pavilion to pick some bamboo shoots back? When it came to business, Butcher Zhao finally calmed down, and when he talked about his happy event, his dark face was a little more happy.

"Yes, you can stay at home with your aunt with peace of mind." Lin Qingran snickered, looking at the butcher, who is probably a big and three rough person on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be a little silly and cute when he encountered this thing: how could the aunt of the Zhao family, who can take care of herself on weekdays, not take care of herself as soon as she is pregnant, she is completely overly nervous! But this is also a reflection of their good feelings.

"Little girl, be careful, it's not safe outside the town, you go over and pay attention to safety, remember to come back before dark!" Seeing that she turned around and left without any delay, Butcher Zhao told her from afar.

"Okay!"

―――――――――――――――I'm digging the dividing line for bamboo shoots―――――――――――――――

Lin Qingran rushed back in the evening, it was dark in the summer, although it was only evening, but it was actually the beginning of the game (about five o'clock in the afternoon).

"Uncle Zhao! I am back! Lin Qingran knocked on the door of the butcher's house and shouted.

"Come on!" Uncle Zhao's voice came from the courtyard. In a few moments, the door opened.

"Little girl, you're back! I'm tired, come in and drink saliva first. Uncle Zhao walked out with a smile and greeted Lin Qingran warmly.

"Not tired!" Lin Qingran said with a smile, and followed Butcher Zhao into the door, "Uncle, I helped you dig more than a dozen bamboo shoots, and seeing that it was getting late, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch my aunt for dinner, so I came back first." Is it enough? ”

"Enough, enough!" Butcher Zhao couldn't open his eyes when he smiled, "Thank you, little girl, you will have dinner at my house tonight!" Uncle will make you something delicious! ”

"No need uncle, it's too much trouble for you." Lin Qingran smiled shyly.

"No, nothing, no! I'll be with your aunt this afternoon! I can't let your girl's family run for nothing, the meals at home are ready, they are all hot in the pot, just waiting for you to come back! In this way, you go and chat with your aunt first, and the uncle goes, let's make the bamboo shoots and we can start the meal! With a wave of his hand, Butcher Zhao set Lin Qingran's dinner, led her to the hall, and went back to the kitchen to pour the food.

The aunt of the Zhao family was sitting in the hall, she didn't look very old, and when she saw Lin Qingran, she took her hand affectionately and started talking.

"What's the girl's name?"

"Ghosts of the Dead."

"Oops! Good name! Good name! Shall I call you Ling'er? ”

Lin Qingran was silent, she dared to guarantee that even if she said that her name was Zhang San and Li Si, she would think it was a good name.

"Feel free."

"Ling'er, I'm really bothering you today. I didn't have anything to do here, and I did what I had to do in the first two months. As a result, I fainted once yesterday, and your uncle ......"

……

"Come on! It's time to eat! Butcher Zhao carried a large tray with four dishes, one soup and a large pot of rice on it.

Pork trotters in sauce, back to the pot meat, stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, shredded potatoes in vinegar, plus pork rib soup.

"I don't know what you like to eat, your aunt's appetite is not very good in the past two days and I haven't been able to cook you some big dishes, I want to eat it today, and your aunt will react a little bit another day, what do you want to eat, uncle will make it for you!" Obviously, Butcher Zhao still felt that it was a bit dull to entertain guests with four dishes and one soup, and scratched his head and said with a big grin.

The aunt of the Zhao family stood up, divided the dishes and chopsticks, and filled Lin Qingran with a big bowl of rice, "Yes, Ling'er." Thank you today, here, just treat it as your own home, don't be polite, what do you want to eat, although your uncle's cooking is not as good as the chef in the tavern, but it is also a good hand, and you can't stop! ”

Lin Qingran was silent. Since the death of her parents, it is the first time that someone has said these words to her, plus the experience of her previous life, for eight years, she has long been accustomed to a life where no one cares, shopping for vegetables alone, eating alone, and staying up until dawn alone, no one will worry; This couple, who are still a little strange, let her relive the warmth of home.

"Auntie, eat quickly, you don't need to serve me vegetables, I will not be polite to you!" Lin Qingran raised her head and smiled slightly, stopping the Zhao family's aunt from keeping picking up vegetables for her.

"Okay, Ling'er girl, then you can eat more." Zhao butcher said.

"Hmm!"

The meal was eaten until the beginning of the night, and it was about to be six o'clock in the evening (half past six in the evening), and Lin Qingran said goodbye to the couple.

"What are you going to do! Stop at my aunt's house today! Hear your uncle say you want to practice peeling? Just let your uncle teach you tomorrow, and you won't have to run again. The aunt of the Zhao family saw her get up and wanted to leave. Hold her hand and hold on.

"It's not big, is it?" Lin Qingran hesitated.

"What's so bad? It happened to be the evening when we were talking. Your uncle is good at everything, but he is stuffy gourd, he can't beat a fart with three sticks, and I can be suffocated to death by him once a day, aunt. As she spoke, the aunt of the Zhao family also glanced at Butcher Zhao.

Butcher Zhao was not annoyed, scratching his head and laughing.

"What are you laughing at? 1. Don't go and clean up the dishes and chopsticks! Seeing him still smiling, he was not happy to find his aunt, and immediately glared.

"Okay!" Butcher Zhao was not annoyed, turned around and went to clean up his things.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran also covered his mouth and laughed.

Seeing that she was happy, the aunt of the Zhao family took her and walked to the house, "Ling'er, let me tell you, I'm ......"

Night is slowly falling......
