Woke up and found myself a legend

Chapter 165 Sweet and Sour

Jiang Rong was stunned, and immediately became excited: "Really? I, I will arrange for the master now!"

Huiling raised his right hand peacefully and said, "I can't be a master, you can call me monk Huiling."

Gu Hua turned his head to look at Hui Ling, his eyes were very calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gu Kui took out another bright red candied haws, took a cherished bite of one, and was reluctant to crunch it up and eat it.Hearing Qing Yu's words, she puffed her cheeks and looked at Gu Hua and Gu Lian. Gu Lian curled her black hair thoughtfully, and gently shook her head at Gu Kui.

Jiang Rong quickly called a monk to take Huiling to the corpse pile, and Jiang Rong continued to take them to the inn.He was obviously very excited, and when he led them through the spacious stone road, he said to them: "It would be great if we could really prevent them from turning into ghost soldiers. Ghost soldiers, we really don't want to do anything..."

Jiang Rong kept talking about it. Tao Yu and Fan Hongxi also learned from Jiang Rong that the mayor's wife and children were going to visit relatives in Yongchang Village. They didn't expect to be trapped by the ghost soldiers that broke out unexpectedly.The mayor guarded Xingqing Town, unable to go to the rescue, so he dragged on like this, and it ended up like this.

Tao Yu glanced at Jiang Rong. He didn't expect the frail human mayor to be so persistent. Human beings are really amazing.

But in the final analysis, it is still too weak.

Fan Hongxi was silent for a moment, then sighed: "The mayor is really a righteous man."

"Of course, the mayor is our Xingqing Town's great hero." After speaking, Jiang Rong suppressed his smile and said in a low voice, "But if it wasn't for us, the mayor wouldn't be dragged in Xingqing Town..."

As he spoke, Jiang Rong took a deep breath, raised his hands and rubbed his face, pointed to a tall building in front of him and smiled at them again: "This is the best inn in Xingqing Town, the mayor has asked the shopkeepers to clean it up. , everyone, please rest well."

The inn was not big, and three of the only five small courtyards were vacated for them.Standing at the gate of the small courtyard, Gu Kui happily waved the candied haws in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Fan Hongxi, can I go to your place to play with you?"

Tao Yu calmly uttered a word: "Get lost."

Gu Kui froze, Xiao Kong, who had been squatting firmly on Qing Yu's head, was attracted by the bright red candied haws he lifted, flapped his wings and flew up, stretched out his powerful claws to grab the bunch of candied haws.

Qingyu was startled: "Xiao Kong!"

Gu Hua, who was standing beside Gu Kui, subconsciously reached out and pulled Gu Kui to avoid the flying Xiao Kong.

"Ah!" Gu Kui was caught off guard, although the candied haws in his hand avoided Xiao Kong's claws, but it also fell out of his hand, and fell to the ground with a "crack", rolling a layer of sand and dust.

Qing Yu rushed forward to catch Xiao Kong who was flapping his wings. Fan Hongxi stepped forward and asked softly, "I'm really sorry, is Gu Kui injured?"

"Nothing." Gu Hua said lightly, letting go of Gu Kui's arm.But Gu Kui stared down at the candied haws on the ground for a moment, and when he looked up, there were tears in those dark eyes.

"Woo... this is my last bunch of candied haws..."

Fan Hongxi paused, and said with some embarrassment: "This... I will compensate you with other desserts?"

Gu Kui burst into tears: "No, I want candied haws..."

Fan Hongxi: "Then go down and find new candied haws for you?"

Qing Yu, who was trying to hug Xiao Kong with fluttering wings, said quickly: "I can do it, I can do it, I will make candied haws again for you!"

Gu Kui looked at Qing Yu, and then smiled again: "I want a lot of candied haws!"

Fan Hongxi breathed a sigh of relief, Tao Yu stared at Gu Kui unhappily, and said in a low voice, "Don't be too greedy."

In Tao Yu's eyes, the various foods stored in Qingyu's storage ring are almost his.Even if it is an apology, dare to take food from his uncle Tao's mouth?I'm afraid I'm not tired of living.

Gu Kui froze again, watching Tao Yu carefully, not daring to speak.Qing Yu quickly said, "I have a lot of hawthorn here, and I will also prepare a large portion for Mr. Tao Yu."

When Tao Yu heard this, he looked away and let Gu Kui go.

Gu Hua touched Gu Kui's head and said, "I'm sorry."

Fan Hongxi shook his head: "No need, we should make an apology."

Qing Yu borrowed a pot from the inn kitchen, set up a big pot to boil sugar, and the sweet smell kept wafting from the kitchen.Qingsong and the others cut out countless bamboo sticks neatly, while Qingzhu and Hu Le sat outside the back kitchen door, facing a large basket of washed hawthorns strewn on them, Gukui hummed softly, and sat beside them happily Along with them are strung hawthorns.

Gu Kui hummed a song with a strange tune, full of joy and joy, Fan Hongxi asked with a smile: "Is this song from Gu Kui's hometown?"

Gu Kui carefully placed the dark red hawthorn skewers on a stack of hawthorn skewers, and said happily: "No, but when I am happy, I will hum this song."

Gu Lian, who was helping to string hawthorns, paused, and said with a smile: "There are so many candied haws, enough for you to eat for a long time. It seems that you don't have to be greedy for candied haws anymore."

Gu Kui bent her eyes with a smile, stared at the red hawthorns in the basket seriously, and continued to string the hawthorns happily and contentedly.

When all the hawthorns in the big basket were strung together, a high hill was piled up on the chopping board.The people in the back kitchen looked at the hawthorn hill in surprise, and came to help one after another.

They set up the chairs for the stone slabs in the large space behind the back kitchen, and Qing Yu took the hawthorn skewers on the chopping board and stretched them into the bubbling sugar water, gently turning them against the boiled hot sugar, wrapping them Spread a thin layer of clear syrup and place on a slate set on one side.

Gu Kui's eyes were wide open, staring at Qing Yu's movements intently, Qing Shuang beside him said with some surprise: "Qing Yu, you are quite skilled."

Qing Yu chuckled, while continuing to hang syrup on the hawthorn strings, while laying out a long row of bright brown candied haws on the stone slab to dry.He glanced at the row of candied haws, and said softly, "When I was a child, I saw it by chance in Cangcheng, and I really wanted to try it, so I studied how to make it when I grew up."

With bright eyes, Gu Kui said excitedly: "I've decided, your bones will be more beautiful in the future! But it's much worse than Fan Hongxi's bones."

Qingyu shuddered all over, and said, "Let's forget about that."

Soon the slate was filled with a long row of candied haws, and Gu Kui immediately jumped up, picked up the slate first, and placed it carefully on the open space in the back kitchen.

She squatted on the side of the slate with her chin resting on her cheeks and looked at it for a while, then looked back at the kitchen where the sweet smell was constantly wafting out, her expression struggling.

Gu Lian came over, touched her black hair, and said with a smile, "I'll help you look after it, and make sure that none of these candied haws can get away."

Gu Kui nodded heavily, got up and ran back to the kitchen to continue staring at Qing Yu as she wrapped the hawthorn skewers in syrup.

Soon, a large piece of red candied haws was placed in the back kitchen.When the candied haws on the last slate are put out to cool, the candied haws on the first slate are ready.

Tao Yu picked up a candied haws, stuffed it into his mouth and stroked it to the end, and swallowed it without even spit out the core.

Well, the sweet and sour taste is indeed good, and the syrup wrapped in Qingyu is just right.

Gu Kui also picked up a candied haws excitedly, looking at the candied haws as if bright stars were shining in her eyes.

Fan Hongxi picked up the candied haws with a smile and gave them to Qing Yu and Hu Le.Hu Le looked at the candied haws in his hand curiously, opened his mouth and bit off one, his eyes lit up immediately, he quickly picked up one and handed it to Qing Bai.

"It's delicious! It's the first time I eat this kind of food, and Qingbai also eats it!"

Qingbai looked down at Hu Le, without any doubt that if Hu Le showed his white ears, they must have stood up high.As he thought about it, he took the candied haws expressionlessly and took a bite.

Hu Le's eyes sparkled: "Isn't it delicious?"

Some unfamiliar sweetness and sourness are mixed and explode in the mouth.Qingbai ate it expressionlessly, and replied lightly: "En."

Gukui admired the candied haws in Wanxia's hand for a while, then opened her mouth in satisfaction, and bit the first one on top.

Qing Yu smiled while holding the candied haws: "The ones I made are really delicious."

Qingshuang laughed at him: "It's not because of Xiaokong that you do so much."

Qingyu pampered Xiaokong who was standing on his shoulder, and said: "There is no way, it is already my friend."

When Gu Kui heard this, she immediately turned her head to look, and said vaguely: "Friends? I have friends too!"

As she spoke, she swallowed the candied haws in her mouth, took out the previous skull from the storage ring, and showed them: "Look, this is Afang."

She put down the candied haws in her hand, touched the skull in her hand cherishingly, and said softly, "A Fang is my friend."

The so-called friend turned out to be such a skull?

Tao Yu cleaned a bunch of candied haws in his hand in one gulp, and looked away disinterestedly.Fan Hongxi quietly looked at the smiling Gukui, Qingsong and the others were taken aback, not knowing what to say for a while.Qing Yu's attention was one way, and after holding back, she still couldn't help asking: "This...is that the beautiful bone you mentioned?"

"Yeah!" Gu Kui nodded emphatically, rolled her eyes with a smile, and said, "A Fang is the prettiest in my heart."

Gu Lian looked at Gu Kui silently for a moment, picked up the candied haws that she had put down and stuffed them into her hands, and said with a smile: "Didn't you keep clamoring for candied haws? Eat it quickly."

Gu Kui quickly put away the skull in her hand, took the candied haws, and bit down another one contentedly.

The sunset glow in the sky is burning like fire, making the candied haws more and more red.The wafting sweet smell attracted the attention of passers-by. A skinny Foundation Establishment cultivator poked his head in and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many candied gourds here? Brother Li, you..."

As he said that, he noticed the crowd gathered in front of the candied haws, and at a glance he saw that the clothes were incompatible with Tao Yu and the others, and his body was covered with bone sunflowers and lotuses with pale bones.

He froze all over, his eyes kept widening and widening.

That figure was reflected in the crimson sunset, and was coated with a layer of orange red, as if it was covered with blood.

"You...kill...the murderer!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the person who came, and the monk had a pair of eyes with bulging cheeks, and immediately took a step back in fright, and shouted in horror: "Don't, don't come! Help!"

"Huh?" Gu Kui blinked, and with a "click", she crushed the candied haws in her mouth.

The person came and ran away, Gu Lian's face darkened, and she lifted her foot and took a step in the direction of the monk.

"Bone lotus."

A faint voice sounded, and Gu Lian's footsteps froze suddenly.When she looked back, she saw Gu Hua coming over, gently stroked Gu Kui's loose black hair, and asked in a low voice, "Shall we go back and eat?"

Gu Kui nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Gu Hua put his hand on his forehead and bowed, and said flatly to Tao Yu and Fan Hongxi, who were looking quietly, "I'm sorry."
