Chapter 42: There is only one man
"Old man Gao, why is the house here so broken, since you want to live here for a long time, why don't you build a good house?" Lei Xinyue couldn't help but ask.
"Why is it so easy to build, there will be a tide of beasts every hundred or so decades, and the demon beasts on the mountain will rush down, and everything here will be razed to the ground, and it will have to be rebuilt when the time comes."
"Then why don't you move farther away and move to a safe place?"
Old man Gao took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Actually, this is still within the range of the Yunduan Mountain Range, and out of this valley in front, there is a poisonous forest, which contains poisonous miasma, poisonous weeds, and poisonous snakes, and you must take the antidote pill before you can pass through."
After the poisonous forest, it can be regarded as leaving the Yunduan Mountain Range, and there is a Xiyun City not far away, where the city wall can resist the impact of demon beasts below the eighth order, some people have experienced in the Yunduan Mountain Range, and they will go down the mountain to rest every few days, but after the poisonous forest and then return to Xiyun City, they will come back the next day, it is too troublesome, so some people will stay in the valley to rest temporarily. ”
Lei Xinyue said, "So, you guys started business here. ”
"Yes, there are people here who open restaurants and inns, and I, who open taverns, are actually sharp."
"There are still people here who collect elixirs, beast pills, and those who sell pills." Old man Gao drank all the pot of wine, and he was a little drunk.
Lei Xinyue was a little surprised, it turned out that this valley was full of dangers, and there were still people doing business here.
"Aren't you afraid that the demon beast will come down the mountain?"
"High-level demon beasts won't go down the mountain, low-level ones, come down to bring us food." Old man Gao said with a smile.
Lei Xinyue asked again: "Old man Gao, how many people are still in our family here?" ”
"I don't know." Old man Gao's expression turned gloomy.
"In the past, one day the disciple changed his surname to Tian, led the disciples of the same clan in Xiyun City, established a mercenary group, and later became a force, one of the four great families of Xiyun City, brilliant for hundreds of years, and then was robbed of territory by others, almost wiped out, and the rest of the people left Xiyun City, I don't know where to go.
Every hundred years, the patriarch will be re-elected, and those who have the talent will develop by themselves, and those with poor qualifications will stay to take over as the patriarch, guard the teleportation array, and respond to the clansmen who come over there, no one has come over there for hundreds of years, and now I am the only one. ”
Lei Xinyue opened her mouth and asked cautiously, "You, haven't you been married for so many years?" ”
Old man Gao showed a slight depression, and returned to normal.
"I used to just think about revenge, but I didn't think about it, but now I'm old." Old man Gao smiled.
Lei Xinyue sighed secretly, grandpa had paid too much for the Lei family, and he didn't want the atmosphere to become sad, so he changed the topic again: "Now that I have time, I will help you collect some materials, and cook according to my recipes in the future to ensure that business is prosperous." ”
"Okay, let's go, go to the back mountain, there are no high-level demon beasts there."
When the two of them arrived at the mountain behind the house, they found all the materials they needed at the foot of the mountain, especially the flavor herb, which was just a wild grass without a name, and this grass had a smell when it was crushed, so no one thought that this grass could get rid of the fishy smell of monster meat.
Lei Xinyue felt strange in her heart, the methods and ingredients in Senior Brother Qingfeng's recipe seemed to be unique.
Several materials, both of them collected a large pile, all of them were crushed into pieces for later use, so as not to be secretly learned.
In the evening of this day, under the guidance of Lei Xinyue, the old man Gao learned several dishes, stir-fried wild boar, stewed rabbit meat, roast mutton, braised beef, without exception, all of them were first-order and second-order demon beast meat.
As for Lei Xinyue's vegetables, there are few such high-quality vegetables here, and Old Man Gao thinks it's too eye-catching, and it's not easy to take them out, so it's all meat dishes.
The smell of meat in the kitchen wafted out with the wind, and the fragrance was smelled in a few mud rooms, attracting people who came down the mountain, and the six tables were full of guests, shouting and serving.
Lei Xinyue had to act as the second shopkeeper, serving wine and food in and out.
