Where the rainbow ends
'Knock knock', a stern-looking Malsham knocked on the door of Fengziliu's room.
"Feng Ziliu, follow me to the first floor, I have something to announce."
There was a sound of rustling in the room, and after a while, Feng Ziliu opened the door, and saw that he was disheveled and sleepy-eyed, and it seemed that he had just woken up.
Feng Ziliu looked puzzled and asked, "Is there something wrong?" It's okay to say it here. ”
Marsham smiled and didn't speak, and pointed to the people waiting for him downstairs, all of whom were in good spirits and looked at him with smiles on their faces.
Feng Ziliu scratched his head and said, "Captain, you go down first, I'll change my clothes, and I'll be fine right away." ”
After saying that, he closed the door.
Seeing that everyone was gathered together, Kaede Ziliu had already guessed what Malsham was going to announce next, so he deliberately dressed up.
......
Feng Ziliu quickly went downstairs.
Malsham pushed him in front of everyone and said, "Everyone unanimously agreed that you will join our team, so from today onwards, you will pass the assessment and officially become a member of the Wisdom and Courage Regiment!" ”
Applause erupted, Jirek and Taslo gave him a congratulatory hug, Xiao Lei was very excited, hugged Fengziliu's thigh and said, "Since my brother has become a member of the family, he will buy me candy to eat." ”
Feng Ziliu touched his head and said, "Okay, my brother will take you to buy it today, can you buy your favorite bear candy?" ”
Xiao Lei looked at Ruozhu, and Ruozhu nodded that it was okay.
"Good! Daddy has promised me! Is it okay to go now? ”
Feng Ziliu took Xiao Lei's hand, patted Ruozhu's left shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will bring your beloved son back safely." ”
Malsham clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's disperse, today is a rest day, I also confirmed with Boss Yao, there will be no task to find us today, you can arrange it yourself, but you must come back at dinner time, we haven't sat down together for a long time to have a good meal." ”
Xiao Lei happily followed Fengzi out of the door, and he still didn't forget to say 'Bear Candy is waiting for me'.
Ruozhu stretched his waist and went back to the room to sleep, Taslo, Gran, Marsham and Jirek played poker around the table, Lei Yu wanted to clean up, but Jirikra was put on the table, let him sit on the side to watch and study, Li Wan'er told everyone her movements, she would go outside to relax.
......
Li Wan'er got up early this morning, and when she opened the window to ventilate, she saw a rainbow in the sky, she had never seen a rainbow in this world, so she took advantage of the rest day to find out.
However, the rainbow seems to be very close to you, but in fact, it is often farther away than you think.
In the general direction, she searched, during which she passed a small village, where the peasants were busy planting crops with their faces to the loess and their backs to the sky, and occasionally a few people suddenly got up, wiped their sweat and moved their muscles and bones, and then bent down to busy the work in their hands.
This rainbow appeared strangely, first, it appeared in the sky without rain this morning, second, the sun was shining without the slightest sign of disappearing, and third, it seemed to be close in front of you but could never get close.
Li Wan'er walked slowly on the ridge of the field, when the sun was already overhead, and the people in the farmland took off their sweat-soaked clothes and returned home.
It just so happened that an old man met her.
"Whose family are you, you look so peugeot."
Li Wan'er bent down intimately and said, "Uncle, I'm not from this village. ”
Uncle: "No wonder I haven't seen you, it's noon, and there are no restaurants nearby, if you don't mind, go to my house to eat, although they are all coarse tea and light rice, but I and my wife grow it by hand, green and healthy, and my wife's craftsmanship is very good." ”
Li Wan'er was naturally embarrassed, but under the repeated invitations of the uncle, it was really difficult to refuse, so she followed the uncle home.
Although the old man said that his family was surrounded by four walls, but fortunately, he was accompanied by an old wife, and they had no children and no daughters, and their lives were hard but quiet, and the old man's home was at the end of the village, some distance from the fields.
Even though he was old, the old man walked like a young man, and he carried the basket on his back and asked, "Girl, why did you come to us?" ”
Li Wan'er: "I found it because of a rainbow in the sky." ”
Old man: "Oh~~ You mean the colorful rainbow, in fact, this is also a bridge, and the mythical beasts from all over the world will gather together through this 'rainbow bridge'." ”
It was the first time Li Wan'er heard of it, and she was inevitably a little surprised: "Divine beast gathering? ”
"Of course, there are monsters in this world, and there will be divine beasts, and these divine beasts have lived for at least thousands of years, and I don't know where to start, at this time of year, there will be a 'rainbow bridge' in the sky for a few days, or even half a month."
Li Wan'er: "Does the old man know where the two ends of this bridge are connected?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "It's a pity that no one knows. When I was young, I heard the most respected old man in the village say that a hundred years ago, a person found one end of the rainbow in a daze, and he reached the other end through the 'rainbow bridge', and saw a group of huge beasts talking together, speaking human language, and his surroundings were surrounded by birds and flowers, mountains and flowing water, and fairy mist, as if he was in a fairyland, and he immediately sighed. Fortunately, the divine beast did not harm this person, but warned others not to tell others what he saw, otherwise natural and man-made disasters would occur. But this man did not listen to it at all, and when he left the 'fairyland', he forgot their warnings, and returned to the village to 'show off' from house to house, and this matter soon spread to other towns, and soon a large group of talented people found him, gave him a sum of money, and asked him to lead them to the front end of the 'Rainbow Bridge', who knew that when the man took them to the front end, they were noticed by the divine beasts, and they were angry. The Rainbow Bridge disappeared in an instant, and then everyone in the village was flooded, probably because of his deep sin, and he was the only one left in the village to survive, suffering from the world...... It is said that after that incident, no one has ever seen the 'Rainbow Bridge' again, and in recent years, it has reappeared for some reason. ”
When Li Wan'er wanted to ask something more, the old man interrupted her thoughts, pointed to the bungalow in front and said, "My house has arrived." ”
......
The old man poured Li Wan'er a glass of water, and went to the backyard to help his wife.
Li Wan'er stood at the door and stared at the 'Rainbow Bridge' in a daze.
"Girl? Girl? The old man's left hand waved in front of Li Wan'er's eyes, and Li Wan'er reacted at this time.
"I'm sorry."
The old lady sandwiched a piece of tofu in Li Wan'er's bowl and said, "Girl, my old man told me just now, but don't believe it all, after all, the old man told you the latest version, in fact, there is another version." ”
"What is it?"
Old lady: "Girl, don't worry, eat the meal first, it's not good if it's cold." ”
......
After tidying up the dishes, the old lady talked about the version she had heard.
"The man was a fugitive, in order to avoid pursuit, fled into the mountains and forests, because he had not eaten for several days, the fugitive was dizzy with hunger, and staggered along, came to a stream, lay on the ground and drank water, just to fill his stomach, and when he drank up, the reflection in the water attracted him, and he looked up and found the 'Rainbow Bridge'. Filled with curiosity, he followed the 'Rainbow Bridge' to a small town, which was different from other towns, it was empty, but it had everything, and the roadside stalls were full of food, and when he saw that there was no one to guard it, he plunged into it and began to gobble it up. When he had eaten and drunk his fill, it was already sunset, and he walked slowly down the street, still not seeing a single figure. It was getting dark quickly, but the moonlight illuminated his path, and he was sleepy, and fell asleep on the ground, and when he opened his eyes, the streets were brightly lit and bustling with people. But he felt hopeless, because he was tied to the cross, and the man standing in front of him was only half a head, with a torch in his hand, and the people around him stared at him deadly, repeating the words 'baptism from hell,' and a fire ignited him, and his soul flew away in an instant. Therefore, some people later said that as long as this "rainbow bridge" appeared, it meant that the sinful person had been baptized in hell. ”
Li Wan'er looked at the rainbow outside the door again, and the sky was already flushed red.
"Thank you for your hospitality, it's not too early, I have to go back."
"Be careful on the road."
The two stood at the door and watched Li Wan'er in the distance.
"Old woman, it looks like we're going to have to change places again."
The old man slammed the door shut......
When Li Wan'er left the village, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned her head suddenly, and the village and the rainbow were gone.
She laughed: "What a fan of the authorities." ”
I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.
She turned around and walked with brisk steps.
......
Xiao Lei followed Feng Ziliu with a large number of snacks, and as soon as he stepped into the house, Li Wan'er carried it in with her hind feet.
"Why are you still playing poker? And Taslo, how badly did you lose with so many notes on your face? ”
"Wan'er, you're finally back, come and help me." Taslo cried and begged Li Wan'er for help.
"You deserve it. Get out of the way, I'll help you win it back. ”
Xiao Lei happily rushed up to the second floor and ran into his room.
"Daddy! You see Brother Fengziliu bought me so many snacks! ”
Ruozhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Be careful of eating too many cavities." ”
"Isn't there Brother Jirek?"
Lei Yu was still staring blankly at the cards in the hands of several people at the table.
As soon as Li Wan'er came to the table, she helped Taslo win back face.
Ruozhu took Xiao Lei downstairs and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?" I don't think you have time to cook. ”
"I want to eat braised pork! The meat should be fat and lean, not too dry, and not too greasy. Gran shouted with his hands raised.
Malsham hid the card and said, "I'll have a vegetarian dish, just fish-flavored eggplant, don't be too sour." ”
"Daddy, I'll just eat Gummy Bear." Xiao Lei's head instantly popped up with a big red envelope.
Lei Yu: "I can swallow whatever I want, as long as it's not raw." ”
Jirek: "Give me and Taslow a roast chicken!" The chickens should choose the pheasants in the mountains, so that the meat is chewy, and there are ......"
Ruozhu couldn't listen to it anymore, and thought that he would ask for so much for a meal, so he went to the kitchen with a dark face.
Feng Ziliu grabbed him by the shoulder and said, "Ruozhu, why don't I help you." ”
Wakatake: "Okay. ”
......
"Feng Ziliu, can you go to the market and buy two roast chickens and come back?"
"Little things."
After Ruozhu cooked a few dishes, Feng Ziliu also brought back the roast chicken and bought a pot of good wine by the way.
Xiao Lei: "Big lazy worms, you can clean up the table now, Daddy has done it." ”
Gran pinched his face and asked, "Who do you say is the big lazy?!" ”
"It's you, especially you!"
Gran: "I think you're like a pig!" ”
Ruozhu coughed behind his back a few times before Gran let go of his hand.
Li Wan'er: "Ruozhu, it's really hard for you." ”
"It's fine."
Feng Ziliu took a few wine glasses and put them in front of everyone: "Of course, good dishes must be accompanied by good wine, come and come." ”
Xiao Lei took advantage of Ruozhu's inattention, and secretly dipped some wine in the wine glass with chopsticks, so spicy that his facial features were crowded together, and Gran laughed: "You kid is so funny, it's like I stole wine and drank when I was a child." ”
Marsham tasted the fish-flavored eggplant he ordered, put it in his mouth, it felt like he was in a fairyland, and he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Ruozhu, what you made is too delicious, tell me how you made it?" ”
Wakatake: "It's actually very simple. First of all, prepare the ingredients: long eggplant, green onion, ginger and garlic; followed by seasonings: two spoons of hot city bean paste, one spoonful of sugar, one spoon of balsamic vinegar, one-third spoon of salt, one-third spoon of soy sauce, one spoon of starch, and half a bowl of water; Finally, it is the method: peel and cut the washed eggplant into hob pieces, pour a little oil into the pot, put the eggplant pieces into the pot and stir softly, keep stir-frying until the eggplant color becomes darker, some become smaller, mix the seasoning with starch and add half a bowl of water to make a bowl of juice for later use, pour a little oil into the pot, put ginger and garlic to burst the fragrance, and then pour in the hot city bean paste, fry the fragrance, pour in the fried eggplant, stir-fry a few times, pour in the sauce and stir-fry, and wait for the soup to thicken. Although it is a vegetarian dish, eggplant is a powerful tool for anti-aging, heat clearing and detoxification, and reducing swelling and relieving pain. ”
Gran: "Tell me how you make the braised pork?" ”
Ruozhu held his head: "Braised pork is the most common home-cooked dish, although the method of braised pork is similar but not very different. The main ingredients are pork belly and soy sauce, and the ingredients are salt, oil, green onions, vinegar, and rock sugar. I made fragrant glutinous braised pork. The materials are one kilogram of boneless pork belly, one and a half spoons of white sugar, half a spoon of dark soy sauce, one spoon of light soy sauce, half a spoon of fresh soy sauce, three spoons of rice wine, three slices of ginger, two fennel, and a small piece of cinnamon such as fennel; Wash the pork belly and cut it into pieces about two finger widths, add water and a spoon of rice wine to a cold pot and boil for one minute, pour out and wash with hot water and drain; Then add oil to the pot, add white sugar after the oil is hot, boil over low heat until it changes color into sugar juice, pour in the meat pieces when the sugar juice becomes brown, stir-fry over high heat until the meat pieces are colored on all sides, that is, amber; Then pour the fried meat into the casserole, add water until the meat is just submerged, then add all the seasonings except the rice wine, add the rice wine after boiling over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for about an hour, turn off the heat and simmer for 15 minutes; Finally, pour the stuffed meat into the pot and turn on high heat, and the sauce is slightly thickened and served on a plate. ”
Several people cast adoring glances, but Ruozhu was frightened by this sudden gaze, and lowered his head and pulled the rice vigorously.
Feng Ziliu teased: "If a man who can really cook is full of charm, I think if I were a woman, I would definitely be fascinated by you." ”
Ruozhu stuffed a chicken leg into Kaede's mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "Eat your meal well." ”
Gran closed his eyes: "I must find a man who can cook, so that he can serve me for the rest of my life, hehehe......"
Li Wan'er: "Speaking of the two men who were carefully selected, when will you make an appointment to meet?" We've got you covered. ”
Gran drank a little wine, and now he was a little dizzy, and said with a smirk, "Then tomorrow night, hehehe." ”
Little Lei: "Sister Gran, I'm going to follow you." ”
Gran pinched his face and said, "Okay, let them buy you gummy bears." ”
Xiao Lei followed with a smirk: "Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Everyone was drunk that night, and Jirek usually looked like a hanger, and what he said when he was drunk became even more commotionous.
"Malsham I love you so much, let's go to sleep, hehehehe......"
Malsham was so drunk that he was carried back to his room by Gilric, and after a while, there was movement in the room......
"Jirek is doing well!" Taslo gave a thumbs up, and then fell asleep on the table.
......
