Li Muchen drove to Qingyuan early in the morning with the empty city and Zhanxingnan, the scenery on the way was pleasant, and the mild sunshine was accompanied by a hint of cool breeze. Heading north, out of the city, there are endless mountain peaks and caves after caves.

Zhan Xingnan has never heard his mouth along the way, and he keeps asking, just like a studious elementary school student, of course, all this modern times is really unimaginable and incomprehensible for him, but what he sees in front of him has to be accepted. After a journey of more than an hour, they finally came to Bijia Mountain in Qingqing County, surrounded by mountains, verdant trees, and simple farmhouses at the bottom of the mountain.

Li Muchen is very good at driving, and when he saw that the scene in front of him had not changed as when he was a child, he had not been damaged because of urban construction. She followed her memories to find the home that sheltered her childhood from the rain, turning the winding mountain path and a rickety wooden bridge. After walking about a kilometer, a few families finally appeared, and a smile appeared on her face, indicating that she was not mistaken!

Kongchengxi looked at the unpretentious buildings, which was too different from the high-rise buildings and busy traffic they saw a few days ago, and the scenery here was beautiful, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

"I didn't expect that there would be a place like ours in your time!" Zhan Xingnan looked at a few simple farmhouses and said casually.

Li Muchen explained with a smile: "There are many such small villages, and our era is not necessarily the prosperous life of a big city, so I choose this kind of rural life away from the hustle and bustle!" ”

When you speak, you can look at the scenery in front of you and get distracted!

Kong Chengxi saw the two of them chatting at the entrance of the village, and interjected a sentence and asked, "Do you remember where the old man lives?" ”

Hearing this, Li Muchen came back to his senses and nodded: "Remember, her family is the only one with a small yard, and there is a big jujube tree in front of the door!" ”

The three of them looked around according to what Li Muchen said, but they didn't see the yard and jujube trees she said, the village is not big, only a dozen households, seeing this situation, Li Muchen couldn't help frowning: "I remember it very clearly!" ”

"Could you be mistaken?" Zhan Xingnan glanced at it, and there was obviously no big jujube tree.

Kong Chengxi said lightly: "Find someone to ask, you can't do it if you think about it like this!" ”

Li Muchen thought about it and could only nod his head, and saw a middle-aged man not far away driving a cow back, and greeted him and asked, "This uncle, we want to ask you about someone, is it convenient?" ”

The cow driver couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he looked at the faces of several people, and then came back to his senses and grinned: "It's convenient, who are you looking for?" ”

"Is there a mother-in-law surnamed Liu in the village, who is probably over seventy years old, and her family has a yard and a jujube tree!" Li Muchen saw that the people in the village were hospitable and simple, and his mood relaxed and said slowly.

Uncle Cattle squinted slightly and thought about it, and after a while, he thought of a person who matched Li Muchen's mouth, and immediately nodded: "Yes, she lives in the village, but the jujube tree was cut down in the early years!" ”

"And where's her house?" Li Muchen asked with some excitement.

"See that? The place where there are many weeds is her house, and after she died, no one lived there, and the village was deserted without wanting to disturb her! The cow driver pointed to a deserted house not far away, and said lightly, driving the cattle away as he spoke!

Li Muchen froze in place, muttering to himself: "What? The old woman died! ”

"Let's go over and have a look!" Seeing that Li Muchen was in a low mood, Kongcheng Xi also softened his tone and proposed.

The three of them came to the weed house, this is indeed a yard, but it was covered by weeds before, looking at the familiar little things in the yard, Li Muchen's nose was sour, she didn't see the last face of this kind old man, if it weren't for herself, she wouldn't have gone to the Famous Food Academy, let alone what happened later.

Kong Chengxi and Zhan Xingnan looked around, the old man lived a simple life, and he didn't stay, but it was very clean inside and out, and he must have walked very peacefully.

Li Muchen wiped his eyes, I'm afraid I'm going to run in vain today, the old people are no longer alive, and the secret of that bowl of chicken soup must be unknown!

Li Muchen stayed alone in the house for a while, made a salute, and there was no condition for worshipping, just as they were about to leave, a middle-aged woman hurried over: "The three of you are in charge, come and find Mrs. Liu!" ”

"Who are you?" Li Muchen asked with slightly red eyes.

The middle-aged woman's voice was not small, and she said with a smile: "I was the one who drove the cattle just now, so I guess you haven't had lunch yet!" Come to the house for lunch and then leave, how can you also have the heart to come and see Mrs. Liu! ”

Li Muchen originally wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he was pushed and walked to the woman's house, and Kong Chengxi and Zhan Xingnan had no choice but to follow.

The woman's house, like a farmer's house, was filled with smoke from the kitchen, and a few roosters in their cages were crowing incessantly, as if to welcome the guests. She also had two children at home, and when she saw the living people coming to her house, she hid in the kitchen shyly.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and scolded: "Two unproductive little bastards, let's eat in the kitchen!" ”

The woman's husband was the cow driver they had just asked, and he took a sip of his pipe with a satisfied expression: "Have you ever been to see Granny Liu's house?" ”

"Look!" Li Muchen nodded.

"Mrs. Liu went very happily, the people in the village did her funeral, she had no children and no daughters in her life, and taught the people in the village a lot of things, what did you come to find her?" The woman recalled.

Li Muchen hesitated for a while and slowly shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I came here once before and was helped by my grandmother and wanted to come and have a look!" ”

Then the woman didn't ask any more questions, but went back to the kitchen and worked for a while, and then she took a large and small plate of peasant vegetables and prepared to eat. Finally, with a casserole of soup on the table, Li Muchen couldn't help but be stunned when he smelled the fragrance.

The eyes of Kongchengxi and Zhan Xingnan were also attracted by this pot of soup.

Li Muchen couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, what kind of soup is this pot, so fragrant?" ”

"Oh, this is the chicken soup that Grandma Liu taught me to make when I was confined!" The woman replied with a proud look on her face.

After speaking, Li Muchen and the three of them glanced at each other, stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, it took no effort to get it!
