Chapter 45: The Golden Mulberry Tree
The next day, when Lu Chen got up, Erdan was not there, and he went to the grocery store in front of him to ask only to find out that Erdan followed Tang Yebai to the wild market.
The stall in the wild market can still be used for a day, Tang Yebai felt that it would be too wasteful if he didn't go, so he packed up the animal skins and animal bones in the grocery store early in the morning and went out, and Erdan went to the wild market to see if the thick eyebrows were still there, so that he could buy these too.
There were only Lu Chen and Tang Xiaoxi's mother and daughter left in the shop, and he was called to the counter to guard the shop, to be honest, with such a cold business now, it is too much for one person to stay here.
The animal skins and bones in the shop were moved to the wild market by Tang Yebai to sell, it looked a lot empty, Lu Chen was bored, asked Tang Xinlian for paper and charcoal, moved a stool and a small wooden table from the backyard and put it in the middle of the grocery store, and began to write and draw.
There was a lot of paper, and I was still a little hesitant to draw more than 20 sheets in a row.
Tang Xiaoxi, who was on the side, saw that he had wasted such a piece of paper, and said angrily: "Xiao Chenzi, don't think that paper is cheap and can be wasted, there are more than a dozen of them, and you used several of them yesterday, and they are almost gone." ”
After speaking, he picked up the one that Lu Chen dropped on the ground, "Hey, what kind of plant is this, it's so beautiful." This is the first time she has seen this style of ink painting.
Lu Chen glanced at it and said, "Chrysanthemum." ”
"Nonsense, how can chrysanthemums be like this. ”
Lu Chen lame, this is a chrysanthemum, a poisonous chrysanthemum, the heavenly poison chrysanthemum is a five-grade strain used by him to practice the five poisonous palms of the "Lu's Poison Sutra", and he used the poison of the heavenly poison chrysanthemum on the night of the full moon for a year.
"Let me see the others. Tang Xiaoxi grabbed the stack of papers in Lu Chen's hand.
"What is this? Hey, I don't know any of them. Tang Xiaoxi looked through them one by one.
After reading a few photos, he didn't speak, and his eyes looked at the back few without blinking.
After reading it, "Xiao Chenzi, draw quickly, ah......hh I'm going to look at the back. Grabbed Lu Chen and shook it.
Lu Chen was shaken in annoyance, didn't he say that he was wasting paper just now, but now he was urging him to paint.
"Xiaoxi, what are you doing, this is, it's not big or small. Tang Xinlian saw that Tang Xiaoxi was crazy, and hurriedly counted, "What is so good-looking?"
After speaking, he walked over and took the drawings in Tang Xiaoxi's hand and looked at them.
"Xiao Chenzi, Le in the back. ”
Lu Chen looked at the two mothers and daughters in front of him with sparkling eyes, this is the so-called loyal fans, he was a little furious when he was looked at like this, they wouldn't suddenly go crazy.
In desperation, he began to paint again.
Drawing with charcoal, the speed is very slow, the two mothers and daughters are staring at the tip of the pen are dying, why is it so slow, I can't wait to grab the pen and do it myself.
Lu Chen first used horizontal and vertical lines to divide nine grids on the paper, and then began to draw in the first grid, just a few strokes, it sketched a very clear background, the characters are a little troublesome, the expression is difficult to grasp, he has painted the poisonous insect strain for so many years, and he has to be careful when drawing the characters.
What he is painting is a very touching love story, in which there are people and beasts, and the taste is relatively heavy.
In this world, in ancient times, there was a demon race, although the demon race is now extinct, but the descendants of demons and humans still exist, they are not accepted by the human race, and live in the cold north.
Therefore, Lu Chen's comic version of "The Legend of the White Lady" was easily accepted with only a little change.
Until Tang Yebai's twin brothers came back, Lu Chen was still painting, his hands were a little numb, but he couldn't stand the urging of the two super fans, and after most of the day, a quarter of the story was drawn.
"Oh, it's getting dark, I've forgotten to cook. Seeing that everyone was back, Tang Xinlian remembered that it was dinner time.
Lu Chen stopped his pen, and Tang Xiaoxi next to him was still urging, but for the little girl, he was not so patient, and threw the pen away, who loves to draw.
"Xiao Chenzi, do you still know about the ancient demon clan?" Tang Yebai's twin brothers also picked up the comics and read them.
"It's just a story. Lu Chen replied, what kind of demon clan, how could he know the Dao.
"I ...... I have Xiaoqing. Erdan patted his gourd and said with a smile.
A few people in the room were curious about Erdan's gourd, but Erdan just didn't show them, there was not much wine in the gourd, and he still had to rely on it to suppress yang poison, and the baby was tight.
There were a few times when Tang Yebai saw Erdan drinking, his throat gurgled, the wine tasted so fragrant, but Erdan drank basically when he was poisoned, Tang Yebai also understood the role of the wine a little, and did not force it.
"Little Heiwa, I bought a good thing today. "The second egg is like a treasure.
Lu Chen is funny, what good things can he buy with the second egg, it is estimated that it is a rare thing that he has never seen.
Erdan looked at Tang Yebai, that thing was on him, Tang Yebai was a little helpless, and took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, this thing cost him three taels of gold, he is still heartbroken, if he hadn't sold the sword before, he wouldn't have given Erdan.
Erdan couldn't move his feet when he saw this thing on the stall, he didn't let go of holding this thing, the more people gathered, the stall owner also urged him to buy it on the side, he asked Erdan what this was, and Erdan couldn't say why, only said that it was a good thing.
Lu Chen took the oil paper bag and opened it, and inside was a handful of soil and a green plant of a finger length, the leaves of the plant had begun to wither and yellow after being unearthed for too long.
The main trunk of the plant is small, with a few small branches on the stem, and a few leaves grow on the branches, and the leaves are large, which are estimated to account for four-fifths of the weight of the entire plant.
This is...... Lu Chen was a little familiar, and quickly reached out to flip a leaf over, only to see that there were obvious golden lines on the back of the leaf, distributed on the back of the entire leaf like meridians, and sure enough, the four-grade poisonous strain: golden mulberry.
This is a young golden mulberry tree, which grows up to two meters tall in adulthood.
Although Erdan doesn't know the golden mulberry tree, he can still see the highly poisonous strain, and he really picked it up, this golden mulberry tree is not an ordinary four-grade strain, such as the four-grade strain Chijing Soul Breaking Grass will be gone after one use, but the golden mulberry tree can be used continuously, as long as its leaves are not hurt when picking its dry stems, a golden mulberry tree can live for at least hundreds of years.
"Is this really a good thing?" Tang Yebai asked, this was the first time he had spent so much money on a useless thing.
"Yes. Lu Chen nodded.
"Really?" Tang Yebai didn't believe it very much, just this grass that was about to die, if this thing's vitality fluctuated, it couldn't even be considered an elixir.
Lu Chen nodded again: "As for the sword you sold, even if it is a hundred, no, I won't change a thousand." The four-grade poison strain, he can just be used to quench the body and cultivate the poison scripture.
Tang Yebai was inexplicably surprised, a thousand, isn't that a hundred thousand taels of gold, this kid is boasting endlessly.
It is true that the value of the golden mulberry tree is far from being worth 100,000 taels of gold.
Now that he is not in Lujiazhai, he can't plant it in the Spirit Valley of the back mountain, so Lu Chen had to sort out a small piece of land in a corner of the backyard and plant it, and while no one was paying attention, he quickly made a few demon inscriptions, and a cloud of water mist gathered into a milky white liquid appeared under the plant and melted into the ground.
"Moving Mountains and Reclamation Chapter" Fog Gathering Soul Technique, this is an upgraded version of Fog Gathering Technique, which can gather a very strong vitality into the water.
Quietly summoned a gourd from the divine treasure, the mouth of the gourd fell down, a purple flower fell out, and the flowers of the purple gold magic vine will fall when they are ripe, and a lot of them have been collected in the gourd.
The leaves of the purple gold magic vine are holy products for healing, but the giant thorns on the rattan and the flowers that bloom are rare in the world.
Burying the flowers under the golden mulberry tree, Lu Chen patted the soil on his hand and stood up, the vitality of the spirit plant was already strong, plus these should be foolproof.
"Little black baby, just plant it here?" the second egg asked, the vitality here is pitifully thin.
"Otherwise, where to plant?" Now the conditions do not allow them to be picky, and it is estimated that they will be taken away in a few days if they are planted outside.
"Planted?" Tang Yebai walked over, he couldn't see what value this plant had.
"Yes. Lu Chen replied, don't look at it now, it's still a young plant, but eating a leaf like Tang Yebai is definitely over.
"Hehe, little black baby, let's celebrate. "Erdan said.
Yesterday they sold the sword and they celebrated greatly, and the second egg also had fun all night, and today he got such a good thing as the golden mulberry tree, and the second egg on the side was very happy, which he discovered.
Lu Chen's heart was also very happy: "Okay." ”。
The night moon is in the sky
A fire was lit in the backyard of Tang Kee's grocery store, and an iron pot was placed on the fire.
Kasha Kaqiu was so happy when he heard that he was going to be a cook, and he followed Lu Chen to buy a bunch of miscellaneous things and came back, thinking that he was going to barbecue again, but he didn't expect it to be boiled in a large pot.
Tang Xinlian listened to Tang Xiaoxi boast about how delicious Lu Chen's barbecue was, and she didn't believe it, even this white and tender boy could cook?
There are red peppers boiling in the cauldron, as well as dried fruits, thyme, roundabouts and more than a dozen other flavor-enhancing things, which Lu Chen took the twin brothers to buy after looking for a few streets, and the things are not expensive, but they are many. For example, chili peppers are a big pocket when you buy them.
Tang Xinlian cut the meat into slices and strips under Lu Chen's teaching, and sorted out the vegetables neatly, while Tang Yebai was divided into bamboo sticks, his movements were swift, and the bamboo sticks of the same size were flying between the shaking of his wrists, and the others were responsible for skewering meat and vegetables.
Everyone had something to do, and it was very lively, and although they didn't know what there was to celebrate about that plant, they were willing to do it even if there was nothing to do.
put a bunch of skewered meat into it, Lu Chen picked up a piece of chicken skin with chopsticks and scalded it, and others did the same.
The chopsticks were stirring in the pot, and some people collided the chopsticks together, laughing at each other, and someone dropped the things on the chopsticks into the pot and rummaged in the cauldron in annoyance.
The chicken skin was scalded after a while, and when they saw Lu Chen dipping it in the bowl in front of him and putting it in their mouths, everyone also learned to eat it.
This taste...... The taste is so beautiful, it's hot and spicy in the mouth, but immediately it's the crisp and soft skin of the chicken, and after a few chews, all kinds of flavors follow, how many flavors are there? Five, no, ten, it still doesn't seem right.
There are already more than a dozen kinds of seasonings in the pot, and there are even more dipping sauces in the bowl.
So much flavor that several people have never tasted.
Everyone followed what Lu Chen was hot when they saw it, and after a while, they mastered the trick and ran to the one they liked.
The "hiss......" sound continued, so spicy that it fanned the wind on the mouth, but he just didn't want to stop.
The meat skewers that had been put in before were cooked, and the Kasha Kaqiu brothers disliked the trouble of chopsticks, so they picked up the meat skewers with both hands, opened the bow left and right and ate them, and the second egg grabbed a handful and put it into the bowl.
Tang Xinlian's mother and daughter are more gentle, but they are also full of oil, and they stick out their tongues from time to time to lick them.
"If only there was wine. Tang Yebai said.
Everyone looked at Erdan, Erdan covered the gourd with his left hand, and held the chopsticks in his right hand to pick meat from the bowl, his head kept shaking and refusing, he was really worried that he would feed the chopsticks in the wrong place.
There is no alcohol in the grocery store, usually Tang Xinlian forbids them to drink, according to her thoughts, they are all people who want to go out to make money and do things, how can they drink, only on special days will they buy some.
It's okay to boil water without wine, and a bowl of boiled water can't quench your thirst, so it seems that next time you eat this, you have to buy good wine in advance.
Several people ate with round stomachs, burps in their mouths, and there was no meat left, and the vegetarian dishes were scalded by Lu Chen and Tang Xinlian, and the others even Tang Xiaoxi were completely carnivores.
There are still some vegetables left, and if you don't eat too much and can't fit it, it is estimated that it will be solved cleanly.
