Seeing that Qian Bai's team didn't speak, Cai Yi, the owner of the "Wild Pigeon" bar, thought that they didn't quite understand what killing pigs was, and hurriedly explained:
"This is the custom of Elder Gu's house, in the north of the north, before the old world was destroyed.
"Although most of the people on our side are from the 'Linhai Alliance', there are also President Gu, and the corresponding customs are integrated.
"Simply put, every New Year, the pig is slaughtered to celebrate, and different parts of it are made into different dishes. For example, the pork belly can be cut into pieces and cooked with sauerkraut. Hehe, there are no fresh vegetables in winter, they are all made in advance. Pickled sauerkraut, this is easy to store, very refreshing, really, it is a must with pork belly, um, you can also put blood sausage, blood sausage is to put something into the blood, mix it with minced meat and spices, and pour it into the intestines Cook it well, anyway, those people from the 'Furnace Cult' don't have much anything, just a lot of spices..."
Hearing Cai Yi's description, Long Yuehong, Shang Jianyao and others swallowed their saliva at the same time.
"Don't say it, we haven't eaten yet." Jiang Baimian stopped the boss from talking and not doing it, "Why don't you make us a dish like the one you said today?"
"Good!" Cai Yi readily agreed.
Then, he reminded:
"It's definitely worse with frozen meat."
"It's okay." Shang Jianyao looked like you can serve the dishes now.
While waiting for the boss to cook, the "Old Tune Team" played billiards again. This time, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong had already started, playing back and forth.
Because there was not much meat thawed in advance, Cai Yi first made pickled cabbage and white meat, got a few bowls of rice, and asked Shang Jianyao and the others to fill their stomachs first, and then prepare other food themselves.
"The meat is fragrant..." Jiang Baimian took a piece of pork belly, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. "The sour taste is very greasy, and the whole thing is especially delicious."
Bai Chen took a mouthful of meat, planed a mouthful of rice, and looked at Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao, who were burying their heads and eating hard, and said:
"The meat boiled in pure white water is also delicious, especially fragrant, but it can't be cooked with wild animals."
When she was a wanderer in the wilderness, how could she have so many seasonings, and sometimes she didn't even have salt. She managed to get a piece of meat, but she couldn't save it, so she boiled it in plain water, knocked off the putty, and ate it on the spot.
"Hmm." Shang Jianyao expressed his approval vaguely.
They were eating well, and four people came in at the door of the bar.
This is the Bai Xiao team with whom they have met several times.
Lin Tong, with black hair and a gentle temperament, sniffed:
"smell good… "
While speaking, her eyes had already been locked on the "old-tone group" with a large pot of vegetables in front of her.
"Can you buy fresh food in this bar?" Lin Tong casually walked over to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, staring at the pot of sauerkraut and white meat.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"We saved the boss before, he asked for it."
"Is that so..." Lin Tong showed obvious disappointment.
"Want to eat together?" Jiang Baimian sent an invitation.
"Why is this so embarrassing? The boss only invited the four of you." Lin Tong said so, but his feet didn't move at all.
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, the boss still makes it according to the weight of the four people. I will open some cans and let everyone eat together."
"Then open our can." Lin Tong sat down as if waiting for these words.
Seeing this, Bai Xiao, Lei and Zhang Shaopeng glanced at the pot of sauerkraut and white meat, and sat down as well.
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong politely went to the back kitchen, and brought out tableware and chopsticks for a few of them.
"You are the celebrities of Tarnan now, so powerful 'high-level unintentional ones' have been solved by you." While waiting for the meal, Lin Tong didn't know if he was sincere or politely praised.
Bai Xiao, whose half head flashed with metallic light, nodded:
"We have thought of a lot of ways and formulated a lot of plans, but we are not sure at all."
It seems that you still have some confidence in your own strength... After going through the lost, illusion, and still retaining the idea of solving the other party... Jiang Baimian muttered to himself, and responded with a smile:
"Mainly relying on the 'Mirage Cult', we only provide some speculation."
"No, no, in my eyes, mind is more important than force." Lin Tong expressed his opinion.
At this time, they were allotted rice, stopped talking, and stretched out their chopsticks.
After eating the pot of sauerkraut and white meat to the bottom, the eight people chatted while waiting for the next dishes.
"You made a lot of money this time, right? If you find the whereabouts of the missing robot, you can lead ten non-intelligent robots." Jiang Baimian asked casually.
"It's okay." Lin Tong said modestly, "If you bring it back to the original city, you can exchange a lot of materials, but how to bring it is a problem."
"You are from Primal City?" Bai Chen interjected and asked.
"Yes." Bai Xiao, whose right eye was purple, replied calmly.
The straight knife he was carrying had been removed and leaned aside.
Lin Tong added with a smile:
"We say it's a relic hunter, but it's actually a research team serving the 'First City'."
We said it was a relic hunter, but it was actually the investigation team of the cause of the destruction of the old world... Jiang Baimian slandered, and asked thoughtfully:
"In the biological field?"
"Yeah." Lin Tong nodded, "I mainly study the two fields of genes and nerves. This time I came to Chilar Mountain to catch a mutant creature, the lightning mink, and study the nerve aberration in it."
"I don't understand, why do we have to come here in winter." Lei, who always maintained a gentle smile, whispered.
Lin Tong's expression suddenly became serious:
"The subsidy for going out in winter is higher."
Hearing this sentence, the four of the "Old Tunes Group" suddenly felt that this lady was very kind.
Sure enough, they are all teams that serve the big forces, and the wool of the organization has become an instinct.
At this time, Shang Jianyao looked at Bai Xiao and asked with envy:
"Your mechanical transformation was done in Prime City?"
"Fortunately, I was in Primal City at the time." Bai Xiaoyan responded succinctly.
"He was attacked at the time and was seriously injured. He might not survive without modification." Lin Tong added to help.
Jiang Baimian suddenly felt the same way and asked with a smile:
"Is that revenge?"
"It means it's not there yet." Bai Xiao pointed to the irregular shrapnel inlaid on his forehead.
Because the specific transformation done must be the other party's secret, so Jiang Baimian ended the topic and chatted about other things.
After a while, Cai Yi served two dishes, one was sweet and sour meat, and the other was steamed and cut sausages.
"Would you like to drink some wine?" He knew that the two relic hunter teams in front of him were very strong, so he deliberately flattered, "I'll invite you, but only fruit wine can't get you drunk."
"Okay!" As soon as Lin Tong finished speaking, he glanced left and right, smiled at Bai Xiao, Lei, and Zhang Shaopeng, "I'll drink a little bit, a little bit."
Why did I suddenly have a bad premonition... Seeing this, Jiang Baimian murmured.
Ten minutes later, Lin Tong held the cup with only a shallow layer of liquid, his face flushed, and staggeringly said to the "Old Tune Group" four:
"If you have the opportunity, come to the first city, I will treat you!"
Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Xiao and others, and found that they were all helpless.
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao happily agreed to Lin Tong's invitation.
After drinking and eating, the two teams waved goodbye and went back to their homes.
…
After washing up, as soon as Jiang Baimian returned to the living room, he saw Shang Jianyao sitting on a back chair, thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian asked casually, wiping his hair with a towel.
Shang Jianyao said regretfully:
"The mission ended too early, and there is no fresh food subsidy."
When he took on the "Higher Heartless" quest before, Genava promised to prepare fresh ingredients for them.
But obviously, this can only be obtained during the task execution period.
"Yeah..." Long Yuehong, who was studying computers, felt regretful when she remembered this.
"Forget it, we won't be here for a few days anyway." Jiang Baimian said in a daze.
Shang Jianyao still maintained a contemplative expression, and said to himself:
"I don't know when the baptisms of 'The Crucible' will resume..."
Because of the outbreak of the "Higher Unintentional One", the recent initiation ceremony of the "Forge Cult" was postponed.
"You can go back and ask, hoping to catch up with our schedule." To be honest, Jiang Baimian was still eager to participate in the sauna baptism.
Shang Jianyao nodded lightly, and then said:
"I have communicated with the island several times, but to no avail."
"Ah?" The topic was too jumpy, and Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen couldn't keep up with their thoughts for a while.
You just made a pose and talked nonsense for a long time, just to say this? Are you a shy and awkward businessman now? Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:
"What fears that island represents may require a deep self-analysis of your own.
"We can only give certain opinions and cannot replace you."
Then, she, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen each made their own guesses.
…
In the dead of night, Shang Jianyao sat up, leaned on the head of the bed, and hid his body in the darkness.
He stared out of the window where the street lights were sparsely lit for a while, then slowly raised his hands and pinched the temples on both sides.
In the shimmering "Sea of Origins", Shang Jianyao landed on the sunny and green island again.
He sat cross-legged on the beach, staring blankly at the "ocean" ahead.
After an unknown amount of time, Shang Jianyao lowered his head, stretched out his right hand, and wrote a word in the yellow sand:
"Lonely"
He stared at the word for a few seconds, then reached out and wiped it away.
Then he wrote a sentence:
"Afraid it doesn't make sense?"
The last question mark is crooked and huge.
After watching for a while, Shang Jianyao erased the sentence again.
In this way, he wrote and wiped, wiped, and replaced an unknown number of nouns or short sentences.
As time passed by, Shang Jianyao, who had been in a daze for a long time, once again wrote a sentence on the beach with his fingers:
"Afraid of losing everything you have?"
