In the end, it took Qi Ke half a month to find all the private boundary monuments laid by the Shen family before, and planted the thorn wall along the boundary monuments, which took so long because it rained and snowed in the middle of the days, and it was snow-white everywhere, and it was cold to minus eleven or twelve degrees in the mountains, and minus three or four degrees in the village, which was wet and cold, icy and frozen, and many villagers who were not used to this clammy and cold south fell ill, and the merchants in the county also suspended buying vegetables one after another, and waited for the rain and snow to end.

In this kind of weather, of course, Qi Ke will not die and go up the mountain, except for three meals a day to walk around the Zhuangzi to show that she is alive and not sick, the rest of the time stays in the Qianhe Realm, working, reading books, petting wolves, cultivating, and sleeping lazy.

So, in this way, she wanted to quickly solve the boundary matter in a few days, but it had to take half a month, and then she didn't forget to take the wolves to the borders everywhere to take a walk, whether they understood it or not, anyway, tell them that the territory is so big, run and play casually.

The wolves reacted by urinating everywhere they reached a new border, leaving a strong smell in their wake.

Qi Ke felt that the wolves should have understood and knew the meaning of having a new territory.

This trip of rain and snow has passed, the weather has cleared, and the New Year is not far away.

The merchants came back to the village and snapped up fresh vegetables, and no one let anyone, all bidding to eat alone, and buying once was earning, because the rich families in the county would not save that little vegetable money at this time.

Qi Ke was waiting to do this New Year's business, and he made a fortune, and the village women who planted vegetables were so smiling that they could see the back molars with the dividends, and they discussed when to take the time to go to the county to procure together, and invited Qi Ke to go together, but Qi Ke was afraid of the cold weather and didn't want to go out, preferring to ponder a few New Year's meat dishes in the kitchen, and the whole village had some new dishes when eating the New Year's banquet.

This year is Qi Ke's first New Year in this new world, and she doesn't want to treat herself badly, although she can spend the New Year alone, she still wants to eat and drink.

General Bai Da, who sat in Dong'an Mansion, gave New Year's gifts to his counties, and the county sent them to the town, and the town sent people to each village, and each village got the same, two live pigs and a hundred live chickens, ducks and geese, and there were no cattle and sheep, which were not rare, but pork and poultry were eaten less.

Qi Ke was drooling when she looked at the two live pigs, she hadn't eaten pork for several months, the pigs raised in the Qianhe Realm were running all over the ground, and the castrated boars were fattening up with whatever they ate, but she didn't know how to kill pigs, so she couldn't eat just by looking at them.

It is not easy to get so many live pigs and poultry in this flood-stricken place, and the villagers hurriedly put these livestock in place and discussed how to burn them and eat them.

Qi Ke followed the big guy to the house of the village chief and the ninth master at this time, ignoring the eyes of the village elder in the room, he just sat down next to the village chief and the old man, cleared his throat, and began to report the names of the dishes, all of which were related to pork, chickens, ducks and geese.

The soldiers of the Bai family are used to suffering in the north, where have they heard of these various dish names, just thinking about it, they think it must be delicious, and they are all drooling.

"Okay, okay, stop, stop, say it's so lively, you will do it?" The village elder Jiu Ye forcibly held down Qi Ke and stopped talking, many of the people who didn't watch the door were already wiping their saliva.

"Braised pork requires technology, but we can choose to make it simple, meatballs don't need technology, right? It can be mixed with minced meat, and the balls can be boiled, fried, fried, or baked. White-cut meat and white-cut chicken, duck and goose are also very simple, directly boiled and thinly sliced, and a bowl of dipping water is dipped in water to eat. The pig's trotters are burned, the pig's head and pig's tail are marinated, the pig is boiled and eaten in the water, and some vegetables are scalded in it. ”

"Okay, okay, it's good, it's good, that's it, the dishes at the New Year's banquet are there." Old Jiu Ye smiled, picked up a piece of candy on the table and fed it to Qi Ke's mouth, "Okay, you can rest for a while and go outside to play." ”

Qi Ke slipped away with sugar.

She ran out and was surrounded by people outside, the New Year's banquet is eaten by the whole village, but each family has to cook by themselves, these days everyone has learned to cook with Qi Ke, just now she reported the name of the dish and everyone was greedy, how can she let her go at this time, don't want to leave without handing over a few new recipes.

It's not easy to memorize the recipe, but there is no material to do it, even the most common pepper and salt locals don't have, those familiar businessmen have never heard of what pepper is, no pepper and salt, pepper and salt flavored dishes can't be made, fortunately, there is no shortage of salt, and salt-baked flavor dishes are done.

Qi Ke memorized a few recipes for salt-baked chicken and salt-baked mutton, and then finally got out, thinking about whether to kill a rabbit and make a salt-baked rabbit meat to eat.

If you want to talk about eating delicious, Qi Ke really didn't lose his mouth in his previous life, he didn't study in the capital for four years in vain, there are all delicious restaurants in the capital, just the restaurants operated by the provincial Beijing offices are enough to eat, and the chefs are all local celebrity chefs hired with a lot of money, from the ingredients to the seasonings are transported from the province, the taste is absolutely authentic, Qi Ke has eaten more than 30 Beijing offices in those years, otherwise how can she know that Inner Mongolia has milk boiled noodles.

When you eat your favorite dish, Qi Ke will figure it out and make it by himself, so that he can open his mouth and memorize a bunch of dish names and recipes without checking the information.

Qi Ke, who returned to the Qianhe Realm, thought optimistically while killing rabbits, it doesn't matter if she just settled down this year, it doesn't matter if it is hard, it will be hard next year, and when she is in the New Year, she doesn't believe that it will be so difficult to eat more meat.

After the salt-baked hand-torn rabbit meat was made, Qi Ke took a small casserole and filled it with a little, pretending to make it in the small kitchen of the back house, and went to the village chief's house with the casserole, and invited them to taste it, discussing whether to kill a few rabbits when holding the New Year's banquet, because there are still a lot of villagers who raise hares, and if you get together, the rabbit meat at the New Year's banquet should be enough.

Pork is definitely not enough to eat, just the two lean pigs who have lost a lot of fat, and there are only a few mouthfuls of meat for each person in the village, and only a few bowls can be divided if you take the pork bone stew.

Lao Jiu Ye not only tasted the salt-baked rabbit meat sent by Qi Ke, but also called everyone who raised rabbits to come and try it, after eating the rabbit meat in a casserole, this dish was naturally on the menu of the New Year, and then the people who raised rabbits, including Qi Ke, discussed the number of rabbits in each family, less than two or three, more than four or five, to ensure that there is a rabbit at a table.

Qi Ke contributed one dish, and didn't care about the rest, how to arrange the dishes at the New Year's banquet listened to the village chief, so that she would not overstep her responsibilities and rob others of their responsibilities.

Wandering back to the back house, the courtyard door was bolted, flashing back to the Thousand Lotus Realm, Qi Ke returned to the study, spread out the pen and paper to ponder the new formation.

The phantom array of the gold panning camp has already been laid out, because of geology, it was originally just planned to lay a small array, but in the end it was made into three square kilometers, it is really too close to the water where the water and soil are not very stable, so I had to go a little farther, expand the array, and the amount of calculation was also doubled, and it was finally calculated that I had to walk all over the mountain to dig deep pits and bury jade, this tired, who did who knows.

Now that the mountains and forests are in hand, the thorns used to demarcate the boundary have also been planted, Qi Ke wants to ask for a double insurance, and then make a formation, thorns are still plants after all, outsiders really want to cut them, come in to hunt or do something else, she is too far away to be easy to detect in time, and in case outsiders find her oily and slippery wolves, it is difficult to ensure that there is no greed, and it is also very dangerous for the wolves, so she wants to get a double composite array of blinding and warning.

Such a formation needs high-grade jade to make a formation, Qi Ke is not short of this, she has several pieces of large jade pieces that are half a person high, but she is somewhat reluctant to bury the whole ground, in case it is dug out and moved away as a treasure, it will be a big loss, so she moved her brain to those jade Ruyi, especially the jade Ruyi with inlaid treasures, the jade is inlaid with jade, not big and not small and the texture is superior.

Qi Ke put down the pen, found out all the jade Ruyi, first counted how many pieces of jade could be cut off, and then went to the formation she wanted, the calculation of the compound array is larger than the measurement of a single array, just like the chemical reaction equation to be balanced on both sides, the compound array should also pay attention to the problem of balancing, and all parties must be balanced, otherwise, there are omissions that may not necessarily lead to the failure of the array, but it is certain that the operation will not achieve the expected effect.

With the knowledge and experience passed down to her by her master, and the confidence brought by the previous successful formations, Qi Ke pondered bit by bit, slowly formed a framework for thinking, determined the position that played the role of a pillar, and everything went smoothly.

It takes more time to design a perfect new magic circle, Qi Ke is busy in the village during the day to prepare for the New Year with everyone, and only at night is he free to sit at his desk for a few hours, and then replace sleep with cultivation, her comfortable big bed has become only a lunch break to lie down, from morning to night there is no leisure.

There is endless work in the hands to feel that time flies very fast, and in the blink of an eye, there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the village is clean inside and out, as if it has changed its new look, and the unused masonry materials have been sorted out and stacked neatly.

The village's New Year's feast was a few days earlier than the family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the pigs and poultry in the village decided to split them into two halves, half of which were eaten before the previous half and half for the Lantern Festival.

Qi Ke had already come up with a new recipe for salt-baked rabbit meat, and on this day he slaughtered a fat pheasant to demonstrate how to make three cups of chicken, and the same is true for making three cups of duck when the time comes, because it is a hot dish, the village decided to use it at the New Year's banquet, and the cold-eaten white-cut chicken is used at the Lantern Festival banquet, which is a snack dish.

After the chicken was put into the casserole and sat on the fire, she explained to the women who watched the stove how to take care of the fire, and then she went out and went back to the back house to rest, drank some hot tea to warm her hands, and then went to the kitchen when the time was almost up.

As soon as the felt curtain was lifted with the front foot, one foot in the threshold and one foot outside the threshold, a wolf rushed in from the direction of the backyard, grabbed Qi Ke's trouser legs, pulled her stumbling, and almost fell to the ground.

Qi Ke held on to the door frame and stood firm in time, and when he looked back, he was shocked and startled.

The wolf that ran back was covered in blood, but when he reached out, it was not injured, but blood from elsewhere.

Qi Ke didn't say a word, flashed back to the Thousand Lotus Realm with the wolf, and then appeared on the mountain, far away from where the villagers could see.

"Which direction?"

The wolf looked up and sniffed the wind, turned in a different direction and began to run.

Qi Ke opened the Thousand Lotus Realm, and the spiritual realm space quickly opened up and shrouded out, catching up with the wolf that ran away in the blink of an eye, retracting it from the spiritual realm, and jumping forward with it piece by step.

After running out of the boundaries of Erma Town, Qi Ke finally caught up with her wolves, and at the same time heard a lot of strange dog barks.

The worst situation she had been envisioning was happening right before her eyes.

A few red-haired monkeys, who looked like foreigners, hunted her wolves in the mountains with guns and hounds, and the guide who showed them the way had two wolves lying at their feet, dying, their fur covered in blood.

The king did not flee far with his men, and commanded his younger brothers and these people with a wolf howl in different tones, trying to get back their companions, and the sound of guns and dogs accompanied by wolf howls came and went.

Qi Ke was furious.

The Spirit Realm quickly pushed over, enveloping all his wolves and these poachers, and in an instant, all seventeen wolves were recovered.

Living people other than the Lord of the Spirit Realm couldn't enter the Thousand Lotus Realm, but other things could, so in addition to the wolves, Qi Ke also robbed them of all their supplies, including their hounds, shotguns, belongings, and clothes.

The local guide and the red-haired monkeys were naked.

The hunt was on the head of Xing, and he was still thinking about what kind of good price these wolves could sell for such a good fur, when he suddenly felt a chill on his body, and the spear in his hand disappeared from his eyes, and at the same time, he began to shiver endlessly, and when he looked down again, his clothes were gone, and he was so naked for some reason.

"Ahh Help me! ”

"What's going on?! Where's my clothes?! ”

"O God! What's going on?! ”

"Who has the clothes? I'm freezing to death! ”

"Guide? Wizard?! Bring the clothes! ”

The red-haired monkeys scattered all over the forest screamed, but the guide was already so frightened that he couldn't take care of any of the gold lords.

"Grandpa the mountain god spares his life! I just want to make some money for the New Year! I didn't mean to disturb your old man! Spare your life! The equally bright guide was so cold that he clamped his legs and arms around his chest, his face was pale, and he looked around in panic, "Come back quickly!" Come back soon! We've angered the mountain gods! ”

"What mountain god?! Sling the bull! ”

"Come back soon! Let's hurry down the mountain! ”

"I've gone too far, I'm going to freeze to death, who's going to help me!" The voice furthest from the guide shouted hoarsely.

The guide couldn't do anything, he himself was freezing to death, and he couldn't find even a piece of hay around him that could surround him.

"Don't worry about it so much, run back in one go!" The guide could only shout, at this time he couldn't care about whether he made money or not, and to be able to live this life and go home was the mercy of the mountain god.
