The family in the valley had smoke rising early today.
The kitchen was burned with an earthen stove, and the firewood was picked up from the mountain. The humidity has been heavy these days, and the firewood was not dry, and it was smoked when it was put in the stove.
The person in charge of lighting the fire was a middle-aged man. While fanning the fire with a fan, he covered his mouth and nose, his face was blackened.
Beside the middle-aged man, there are three things squatting. They are not big in size, about the same as a dog, and their appearance and appearance are different from ordinary dogs.
One of them is black all over, with a large head on it, and if the mouth is opened, it is equivalent to splitting the head in two, and the big mouth eats all directions.
The other one is yellow, with a round head, fierce eyes, squatting with its mouth pouted and unwilling.
The last one is a white dog, with relatively clear features, big eyes flickering, and a pair of small wings on its back.
The white dog was squatting next to the middle-aged man, flicking its tail back and forth slowly, uttering human words in its mouth, the voice was very clear, it was a girl's voice:
"Second brother, can you make a fire?"
The middle-aged man coughed for a while due to the smoke, and said with a bitter face: "My fourth sister, how can I do this kind of work? Didn't the master tell me this? You don't like changing human forms, so you can only do it." Am I here?"
The round-headed yellow dog snorted coldly: "Second brother, you are too good, get up, I'll do it."
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes at the yellow dog: "Third brother, this is your paw, can you hold the fire stick?"
"Hey, second brother." Big Mouth Heigou shook his head at this moment, "When will we be able to eat, I'm hungry."
"Brother." The middle-aged man cupped his fists at the black dog, "It's just started the fire, it's still early to cook, and don't expect too much from our master's cooking skills, she doesn't have much talent in cooking."
"It's okay, I don't pick my mouth, as long as I can eat." The black dog said, "I slept for too long, and my stomach is empty."
"Then don't expect too much." The middle-aged man said softly, "The things she makes may not be edible."
One person and three dogs were talking lively, the kitchen door squeaked, and a white-haired woman walked in.
The woman was carrying a vegetable basket on her arm, and she seemed very preoccupied at the moment, muttering to herself: "It's over, it's over, I didn't expect so many people to come, and I didn't buy enough vegetables."
"Master." The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up, "I don't think there is too much food to eat. He is a guest from afar, so don't torture him like this, just eat two bites."
"What are you talking about?" The woman looked displeased, "Is my cooking so unpalatable?"
"Master, we have something to discuss." The middle-aged man said seriously, "Yes, our four fierce beasts couldn't beat you a hundred years ago, and finally recognized you as master, but you can't humiliate us like this. Either way, but you can't feed us what you make, that would be too much."
"Second brother, what you said is wrong." The black dog came over and shook his tail at the woman, then raised his head and said to the middle-aged man, "Thunder, rain and dew are all for your kindness, so why is it our turn to pick and choose when the master rewards you with food?" Yes, it's good to have a stutter, why do you have to argue with the master?"
"That's right." The yellow dog also said, "Second brother, you are different after you become a human being. You are swollen, and your temper is even more irritable than mine."
"Second brother, why don't you accompany the master." The white dog Jiao Didi said, "Master, don't be as knowledgeable as my second brother, he is young and ignorant."
The middle-aged man, that is Chaos, shook his hands in anger at this moment, and said to his elder brother Taotie, third younger brother Zhuo Wu, and fourth younger sister Qiongqi: "You said it lightly. A hundred years ago, after you recognized the Lord, you went to sleep. It's okay, don't care about the shit, I have been serving the master all these years, don't I know her temper
She is capable, but she is just a child who can't grow up.
It was okay before, even if I had to think about things one by one, I could still stabilize the situation.
She wanted to see her son, so I became her son in my chaotic form to make her happy.
Then she missed her husband, and she refused to let me become her husband, and even beat me up, saying that I wanted to take advantage of her. Who are you saying this is.
I can bear all these, but recently it has become more and more excessive, and I know how to cook.
I was quite relieved at first, thinking that this woman had finally discovered her conscience and knew how to reward her pet.
In the end, after I finished my first bite, ouch, I'm going, my 10,000-year cultivation base and xinxing can only be used to suppress myself, and don't get up the idea of fighting her again. "
After listening to Chaos' blood and tears accusation, the white-haired woman looked a bit devastated, and clutched the corner of her clothes: "Really...is it really that bad?"
"Hey." The black dog Taotie looked excited, "I'm quite curious, I really want to try it."
"Brother, don't just focus on eating." Huang Gouzhuo persuaded, "Second brother has said so, I guess it must be powerful, let's not believe in evil."
"That's right." Black Dog nodded, "We just didn't believe in this evil back then, so we became her pet."
"Hey, it's in front of the master." The white dog Qiongqi said, "Is this appropriate for you to say?"
"Appropriate." Chaos said, "I could tolerate her messing around in the past, but not today.
The guests she wants to invite today are not ordinary people to her.
So I can't hide it for her. She doesn't know what she is thinking, so I have to tell the truth.
The food she cooks is really unpalatable, even if she kills me today, I have to say the same. "
"Second brother, that's all." Huang Gou nodded, "You are principled, third brother, I admire you."
"That's right. Now that we have recognized the owner, we should be pets and do our best. We can't just watch her push us into the fire pit."
"Second brother." Heigou said, "I just woke up, and I don't know what's going on. Who is the guest that our master wants to invite today?"
"Hey, you don't know yet, her son is here today." Chaos said in a low voice.
"Huh? Our master looks so young, yet he has a son?" Taotie's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Brother, you've flattered me too much." Zhu Wu said, "Our master does look young, but it's because of her great ability, she looks young, in fact..."
At this point, Wu Wu changed the subject and said solemnly: "She is indeed young."
"Oh." Bai Gou Qiongqi couldn't listen anymore, "Since the master's son is coming, what's the use of you guys just flattering the master, you have to help her find a way!"
"Yes, find a way." Taotie nodded and said to the woman, "Master, what do you think about this matter?"
"No, big brother, we are trying to find a way for her, not letting her make up her mind." Chaos said, "She has no idea, let her make up her mind and it's over."
The white-haired woman seemed to be very shocked, she didn't come back to herself for a long time, and asked, "Chaos, is my cooking really so bad?"
"It's also up to me." Chaos sighed, "I flattered too much before, no matter how unpalatable it was, I swallowed it hard while holding it in my stomach, you just believe it."
"Then... what should I do then?" The white-haired woman lost her mind and said in a low voice, "I ate it by myself before, and I didn't think it was very tasty. But seeing how delicious your food is, I thought it was because my taste was too high." normal people can still accept my cooking skills... "
"Master, don't panic, I don't think the problem is serious." Taotie said, "It's really not possible, you ask my second brother to go outside and catch a cook, let's hire a gunner, we will kill people afterwards, and I will swallow the cook and then said that you cooked this meal for your son yourself, if anyone dares to say otherwise, I will swallow that kid again."
"Brother, we are pets now, not the ferocious beasts we used to be." Chaos said, "You have to put yourself in the right place, don't yell at humans."
"Oh, I forgot about that." Taotie grinned, "Master, don't take offense, I just woke up and my mind is still confused."
"Oh, you guys are doing nothing to help." Qiongqi said, "I think, since the host is the mother and the guest is the son, it doesn't matter if the mother cooks for the son, it doesn't matter whether it is delicious or not, no matter how bad it is , the son doesn't think the mother is ugly, and he won't praise or criticize her."
"That's right." Chaos said, "But we have to think about the master, you don't understand the situation, I know.
Her mother, as a leader in practice, is quite clever, but as a mother, to be honest, she is absolutely incompetent.
She ran away from home when her son was still in his infancy, and he didn't even have any impression of her.
Now that they finally meet again, she must make a good impression on her son, right
As a result, she cooks a meal and the food served is not a joke. Doesn't this bring back bad memories for her son
This mother, she really can't be a mother.
Then this reunion, wouldn't it be a mess
You think, this mother and son separated very early, and the relationship was weak. If this happens again, the relationship will never be repaired, and the rift will become bigger and bigger. "
When Chaos said this, he uttered the tears of the white-haired woman.
She was not in the mood to cook, so she put the vegetable basket on the stove, stared out of the window in a daze, tears rolled in her eyes.
"Second brother, why are you talking about everything?" The white dog walked up to the woman and rubbed his head against her, "Master, don't be sad."
"Good medicine tastes bad. If I don't say this, who will say it?" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, there was a ripple in the space around him, and this man also turned into a flower dog.
The flower dog lay down on the ground, looked up and said, "Master, don't cry, let me see how I roll, I promise to make you happy."
"Second brother, I think it's useless for you to roll around, and you can't be coaxed well." The yellow dog said softly, "Why don't the four of us roll together."
"Good idea, you listen to my password, you must be neat." The black dog also lay down on the ground, "One, two, three, let's go!"
Seeing the four dogs rolling on the ground in unison, the white-haired woman laughed through tears.
It's just that the smile was teased out, and the matter in her heart was still there, she sighed faintly, and took out the ingredients from the vegetable basket one by one.
The ingredients are not delicacies from mountains and seas. She has just dabbled in culinary arts not long ago, so that she can cook a meal for her son with her own hands. She doesn't know how to cook anything that is too rare, so she specially practiced four dishes and one soup.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised yellow croaker, cold jellyfish head, stir-fried vegetables with mashed garlic, these are four dishes, and the soup is mustard egg drop soup, which is a very common side dish in Jiangnan.
To be full of home-cooked food, to warm coarse clothes. Since her son was born, she has only fed him enough milk for one year. She has never done anything after weaning, and she wants to make up for it today.
She really has no talent for seasoning, and no one taught her. The only one who tried it was a sycophant, so she didn't know the severity of the ingredients, but her knife skills were absolutely fine.
Today, the pork ribs are bought whole and put on the chopping board, they must be chopped before further processing.
Her hand holding the kitchen knife began to shake just as she lifted it up before it fell.
She is the most powerful practitioner of Liemen in the past and present, but now she can't drop the knife when she lifts it up, and her hands are shaking.
Not only was the hand trembling, but also the tears that had just been absorbed could not be held back, falling down patter.
Behind her, her son appeared in the kitchen.
Lin Shuo raised his hand and took off the kitchen knife for her, then dragged the chopping board in front of him, and said softly:
"Mom, if you cry again, the ribs will be salty."
