In the afternoon of the same day, An Xiao personally took Ah Mu back to the temporary cram school, but only this time.

Because after that, Ah Mu was personally picked up by her parents, for fear that something would happen to the child, An Xiao came to the door again to find them trouble.

It was also at this time that Hu Jiyong's attitude towards An Xiao also changed.

Although there is no admission on the surface, and there is no formal apprenticeship ceremony, An Xiao can perceive that Hu and Ji Yong will teach him some relevant knowledge intentionally or unintentionally, and the content will go from easy to difficult, from simple to complex, until it reaches the level that Hu Jiyong is satisfied with.

On this day, the weather was cloudy, and the sun rarely hid half of its face.

Early in the morning, Hu Jiyong called An Xiao over and gave her a task.

"While the weather is not very hot today, you go into the mountains and pick some wild vegetables and mountain delicacies, such as mushrooms, amaranth and the like, try to have as many as possible, and come back in the evening for hot pot."

"Mushrooms? Some mushrooms have their own fragrance, and if you put them in a hot pot with many spices, its original flavor will not be ...... Oops! Uncle, why are you beating me? ”

"It's a shame that you're usually smart, but you're confused at this time, don't you know that there is a clear soup pot?" Hu Jiyong did not hesitate to reward An Xiao with a roll of the eyes, "Go quickly, go early and return early, so as not to delay the time to eat." ”

An Xiao touched his head that was hurt by the beating, made a grimace at Hu Jiyong, and then carried the water into the mountain.

After An Xiao left, Hu Jiyong was not idle.

In order to make a good pot base, Hu Jiyong selected an old hen that had been fed for many years at a farmer's house in the village, bought it for a "lot of money", and then brought it home, boiled water in the pot, and began to kill chickens.

Hu Jiyong removed part of the hair on the chicken's neck, and then skillfully gave it a knife, and after collecting the blood released with a bowl, he put the old hen that was already dead into boiling water, removed the hair, broke the abdomen, and did it in one go.

After taking care of all this, Hu Jiyong put the whole chicken in the pot, added green onions, ginger, salt and his own special ingredients, and then put it on the stove to simmer.

The chicken soup needs to be simmered for six hours, except for a simple lunch halfway, the rest of the time, Hu Jiyong waited in the kitchen, watching the fire of the simmering soup, while waiting for An Xiao to come back.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still two hours left before the soup was ready.

At this time, Hu Jiyong had just added a fire to the stove, but a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, which frightened him all over.

Hu Jiyong secretly said that it was broken, and then ran to the window, and when he saw the dark clouds that had gathered in the sky, he couldn't help but start to panic.

An Xiao hasn't come back yet, and it's going to rain again this day, if she's halfway there......

Thinking of this, Hu Jiyong couldn't care about anything else, and after entrusting the stove to Tu Ya, he found someone who was familiar with the mountain road and entered the mountain together.

The rain fell when Hu Jiyong went out with rain gear, at first it was just raindrops, but then it became bigger and bigger, and it directly developed into a torrential rain.

In this kind of weather, people in the village generally don't go out anymore, but Hu Jiyong doesn't care about that much, and walks in the direction of the mountain under the rain.

That girl came here because of him, and it was also because of him that he chose to enter the mountain today, so no matter what, Hu Jiyong must bring her back safely, otherwise, his conscience will be uneasy!
