MTL - Fantasy Farm-Chapter 72 Black umbrella
After a few rounds of mahjong, it was almost time for lunch. Shaohao said that he had prepared the box and invited a few people to go.
Lu Qingjiu was very interested in what Shaohao and the others usually eat, so he did not decline. But Shaohao led them directly out of the bird park and returned to the human world, then greeted a few people to get in the car and drove to a stylish hotel in the city center.
Lu Qingjiu was silly sitting in the car: "Don't you eat at your house?"
Shaohao said: "I don't know how to cook, and I rarely open fire at home."
Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised: "Then you will eat out every day?" Although the food outside tastes good, it will be greasy to eat every day.
Shaohao said: "It's not like being outside every day, most of the time. If it is troublesome, I eat with the bird."
Lu Qingjiu: "What does the bird eat?"
Shaohao smiled and said, "Eat everything." He said, he glanced at Yin Xun quite profoundly, and Yin Xun who was sitting next to him couldn't help but shrink his neck, trying to narrow his sense of existence, Shao. Hao retracted his eyes and continued, "For example, ripe fruit, or some small mammals."
Lu Qingjiu: "Eat it raw?"
Shaohao nodded.
Lu Qingjiu sighed in his heart that Baidi was too hardcore.
A few people arrived at the door of the hotel, and Shaohao stopped the car and led them in. He was obviously a frequent visitor here, and even the waiter at the door called to Mr. Sheng Bai to please him.
This place is called Mandiao Pavilion. Lu Sake has never been to this place, but I heard that it is a membership-only store. Ordinary people want to eat it but can’t eat it. They have to be introduced by insiders. According to Shaohao's identity, Lu Qingjiu suspects that the owner of this shop is Shaohao himself.
The food was ordered before, and after a few people sat down, they started to serve it, but as soon as Shaohao sat down, his expression was a bit wrong. Lu Qingjiu was about to ask questions, so he saw him stand up and hurriedly said: Toilet." After speaking, he turned around and left, seeing that the figure was quite embarrassed.
At first, Lu Qingjiu only thought that Shaohao was just solving a physiological problem, but who knew that in the next hour, he would basically not be able to sit on the bench for two minutes, and he would stand up again, his face was getting greener, and he didn't end up at all Back in the box. Lu Qingjiu looked at the scene inexplicably familiar, so he turned his suspicious eyes on Yin Xun, who looked very guilty.
"What the **** did you do just now?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
Yin Xun said, "No...nothing."
Lu Qingjiu: "Then why does he have diarrhea?"
Yin Xun pretended to be calm: "It may be because of his weak body."
If Lu Qingjiu believes, he will have a ghost. He observed the expressions of his friends and determined what he was hiding: "You honestly told me that when you and Shaohao went out just now, you wouldn't be cooking. Give him something to eat?" He was deeply impressed by Yin Xun's craftsmanship, and he had no ambiguity at all after one meal and one day. Fortunately, the toilet in this place is a toilet, otherwise you will feel that your legs can basically be amputated.
"No," Yin Xun said, "What am I doing to cook for him?"
Lu Qingjiu: "Really not?"
Yin Xun said: "No." He cast his eyes on the rich dishes in front of him and swallowed.
Seeing Yin Xun's answer so firmly, Lu Qingjiu didn't continue to question. Obviously, he didn't think that Yin Xun did not cook Shaohao food, he just cut a piece of himself and gave someone a bite. Of course, with such a large piece, the effectiveness is naturally exceptionally good. Shaohao may have to live in the toilet for a few days.
Shaohao lives in the toilet, but it does not affect their desire for food. I have to say that the taste of these dishes is worth the expensive price. All the dishes are very delicate in workmanship. Unlike home cooking, each of these dishes Each process is the best choice that has been carefully polished. Take the boiled cabbage in front of you. The soup is clear, delicious, and the cabbage is sweet. If you eat it, you will know whether it is ordinary. Although I know the general recipe of this dish, Lu Sake is too cumbersome and I never wanted to try it. This small bowl of clear soup was made at least after a complicated process and boiling.
Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun ate very happily, completely forgetting the host of the treat. Lu Qingjiu still had a little conscience left. When he was almost eating, he went to the toilet and asked Shaohao thoughtfully if he needed to send some more paper in.
Shaohao squeezed a word from his teeth, no thanks.
"Did you eat something wrong?" Lu Qingjiu couldn't help feeling pity when he saw his tragic situation, "Do you need me to buy some medicine for you?"
"No need." Shaohao said, "Ordinary medicine has no effect on me."
Lu Qingjiu: "Oh...then we have almost eaten, you see..."
Shaohao: "...The order has been bought."
Lu Qingjiu: "Great, thank you for your hospitality."
Shaohao: "..." He knew it, he wanted to pull it for so long, why Lu Qingjiu suddenly came to ask about the situation, it turned out that he had almost eaten it, worried that he didn't pay the bill. Sitting on the toilet, Shaohao took a deep breath and was about to stand up and go out. As soon as he opened the door, he felt his stomach churn and was forced to sit back again. He held his knees with his hands in despair, carefully recalled what he had eaten today, and finally inexplicably remembered the soft touch of Yin Xun's fingers...could it be...
Shaohao covered his face and sighed long.
Yin Xun, who was sitting in front of the dinner table and eating, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and mumbled whether he had a cold.
"Mountain God still catches a cold?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"That's not it." Yin Xun said, "To be honest, I think it's no different from ordinary people except that I can eat."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Putting away your little proud expression, is it something to be proud of to be eaten? !
Although Shaohao was still trapped in the toilet and couldn't get out, he still invited them to such an expensive meal after all. The three of them summed up, then went into the toilet together to say goodbye to Shaohao.
"Mr. Bai, we are going back." Lu Qingjiu said, "Next time I have time to play more."
Shaohao's voice across the toilet door sounded a little dull: "Okay."
Yin Xun whispered to Lu Sake, "Welcome to play."
Shaohao: "Definitely come." These three words were uttered by him abruptly, and Yin Xun couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The three of them ate and drank satisfactorily and left, then took a taxi back to Shaohao's villa and drove their minivan back home happily. It's just that Shaohao's butler was a bit confused, and obviously didn't want to understand why the guest came back, but the host was nowhere to be seen.
After seeing the beautiful bird garden and having a big meal, Lu Qingjiu was in a very good mood. After sleeping for an afternoon, he got up from the bed and planned to serve noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns and Hantou for dinner. But when checking the materials, Lu Qingjiu found out that the spring onions at home had run out.
Bai Yuehu was also taking a nap in the courtyard right now. Lu Qingjiu thought that it was not far away anyway, so he didn't bother him, and planned to pick it from the ground by himself.
Shallots are commonly used ingredients and can be used in any dish, so they are consumed quickly. Fortunately, they grow a lot at home. When you want to eat, you can just cut a handful of scissors with them. They are very fresh.
Walking on the road, Lu Qingjiu thought that it would be more convenient to transplant the shallots into the yard like leeks in the future.
The weather is still fine today and the sun is shining. This kind of weather is very comfortable for ordinary people, but it is not a good thing for farmers who rely on the sky for food. There is too little rain, the crops in the field grow slowly, and they have to carry water every day for irrigation, otherwise It will affect the harvest.
It has been a few months since spring has started, and only three or four rains have come. Had it not been for the white moon fox in the house, Lu Qingjiu would have to worry about the vegetables in the ground. Their irrigation water here is brought in from a very remote reservoir. If the water level of the reservoir is too low, they will have to find another source of water. It's just that there is a small stream within a radius of tens of miles in Shuifu Village, and I don't know how to get it. Lu Qingjiu had never planted land by himself before, and didn't understand this. It wasn't until the old Li's house next door sighed that he understood the importance of the spring rain to the farmers.
When Lu Qingjiu came back to his senses, he realized that he was thinking too far. He had already walked into the ground and saw a row of lovely green onions.
This green onion is more fragrant than the green onions sold in the market, especially when it is used to make tofu mixed with green onions. The tofu is also ordered at home. The aroma of beans is overflowing. After cutting into blocks, it is served with the green onions, and a little bit of sesame oil. Add some salt, refreshing and delicious.
Lu Qingjiu took out his scissors, bent down and cut a handful of shallots, picked a ripe pumpkin, plucked out two broods of cabbage, and picked some bright red hot peppers, and put them all in the bamboo basket he was carrying. Started to walk back slowly.
Every time he comes to the field, Lu Qingjiu will be shocked by Baiyue Fox’s talent for farming. These neat patches of green seedlings, with red peppers and yellow pumpkins, are neat and beautiful. At first glance, they look like It's like a flower garden.
Their pumpkins are a bit big, and Lu Qingjiu deliberately picked a small one. You can eat two such a pumpkin. If you have time in the afternoon, you can also make some pumpkin pie filled with red bean paste to relieve your greed.
Lu Qingjiu was walking forward, but noticed a black object in the middle of the road. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was a black umbrella, lying quietly on the side of the road.
Whose umbrella? Lu Qingjiu stopped, the umbrella was right in front of him, and he could pick it up as soon as he bent over. The umbrella looks ordinary, just the kind of black umbrella you can buy on the market. Lu Qingjiu had planned to pick it up and asked if anyone in the village had lost it, but before he reached out his hand, he noticed a detail on the umbrella.
This black umbrella is wet, and there are traces of rain on the surface of the umbrella. It has been almost a week since the water house has not rained. Then who would take such a black umbrella out? Lu Qingjiu had a bad feeling. He thought of Yushi's concubine, so he slowly took a step back, and walked around the strange-looking umbrella in front of him.
After Lu Qingjiu walked away for a certain distance, he looked behind him, only to see that the umbrella was still lying on the spot, as if there was no reaction at all. He sighed in relief, wondering if he was too much because he saw too many of these things. Sensitive, I saw the black umbrella slowly and slowly stand up from the ground, as if someone was holding it, and then brushed, the black umbrella opened directly, and Lu Qingjiu clearly saw that there was actually inside the black umbrella. There are countless eyeballs, these eyeballs still have blood-red nerves, and the black pupils directly look at Lu Qingjiu.
"Ah!!" Lu Qingjiu was scared by this scene. He reacted extremely quickly, threw the basket, turned and ran.
A weird sound came from behind him. Lu Qingjiu turned his head and saw that the black umbrella was rolling towards him like a wheel. The nerves of those eyeballs stuck to the inside of the black umbrella, as the black umbrella rolled. A circle is also formed.
"White Moon Fox, White Moon Fox! Help, help!" In the face of the desire to survive, Lu Qingjiu rushed faster than the rabbit. Fortunately, their home was very close to home, and Lu Qingjiu rushed to the door with 100 meters. He rushed into the yard panting, and instantly let go of the heart hanging behind the white moon fox.
"What's the matter?" Baiyuehu asked Lu Qingjiu with this breathless appearance.
"I saw an umbrella on the side of the road—" Lu Qingjiu said with difficulty. "The umbrella is full of eyeballs, and he chased me."
Bai Yuehu said: "Eyeballs?" He thought for a moment, as if thinking of something, frowned slightly, "Where?"
Lu Qingjiu: "Just outside."
Bai Yuehu got up and walked to the door, but did not see anything. There was no black umbrella and eyeballs in Lu Qingjiu's mouth on the empty country road.
Lu Qingjiu stood behind Baiyuehu and raised his head: "Why is it missing?"
Bai Yuehu turned his head and glanced at Lu Qingjiu: "Are you going to have a look?"
Lu Qingjiu: "Go... take a look, the vegetables I just picked are still on the way."
Bai Yuehu walked out of the yard, but Lu Qingjiu was puzzled that the black umbrella that was chasing him just now disappeared, and disappeared with the vegetable basket he had left on the side of the road.
"No." Lu Qingjiu said, "What is that?"
Bai Yuehu shook his head: "I don't know."
Lu Qingjiu: "Why is he chasing me?"
Bai Yuehu sighed: "It will never be a good thing to chase you."
That's right. Looking at the horrible look of the umbrella, it doesn't look like a good thing. Although the umbrella is gone now, Lu Qingjiu still has lingering fears.
Bai Yuehu said: "Go back to the yard, what do I need to pick vegetables?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "I'll go back with you." Don't see the thing again on the way back.
Picking the vegetables again, the two walked back. Lu Qingjiu kept paying attention to the surroundings, but obviously the thing didn't want to meet Baiyuehu until he entered the yard. Lu Qingjiu didn't see it again.
"Don't go out these days." After arriving home, Bai Yuehu asked Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu nodded his head, as he had responded to Bai Yuehu's instructions. He didn't have the powerful combat power of Bai Yuehu. If he really encountered something strange, running was the only way to survive.
At noon, Yin Xun also heard what Lu Qingjiu had encountered. He was also a little worried, but he still comforted Lu Qingjiu, saying that there was a white moon fox, which would definitely be fine.
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "I know, I'm just curious about what it is and what the eyeballs are inside."
Yin Xun said, "It's definitely not delicious anyway."
Baiyue Fox twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
When he had nothing to do in the afternoon, Lu Qingjiu steamed the pumpkin he brought back in the morning, and took out the salted duck eggs pickled in winter, planning to make pumpkin yolk cake. Yin Xun helped knead the noodles, kneading the pumpkin and flour together. The method of puff pastry is more complicated. The number of times the dough is folded and the heat are both key. It is the first time that Lu Qingjiu has made it. The skin is slightly thicker, but fortunately it is crisp enough. The fat in the egg yolk overflows after a bite, and the sweet bean paste is deliciously salty.
Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu have always been passionate about small snacks. The three of them ate the sweet food and soon forgot the unpleasantness of the morning.
Lu Qingjiu originally planned to go to town tomorrow to buy some lemon and passion fruit to make lemon chicken feet, but he had to postpone it because of the morning's affairs. He talked about it to Baiyue Fox. Baiyue Fox thought about it, then Said that he went to the town to buy Lu Qingjiu, and Lu Qingjiu stayed at home.
Lu Qingjiu was still very relieved of Baiyuehu, watching him get into the minivan before returning to the yard.
Yin Xun had just eaten a few egg yolk crisps. At this moment, he was sitting in the yard to rest. Lu Qingjiu looked up at the sky and found that the sunny sky in the morning was covered with black clouds, and it seemed that it was about to rain. .
Spring rain is as expensive as oil. This is a heavy rain that everyone has been waiting for for a long time.
Lu Qingjiu put away the sun-dried things in the yard. Taking advantage of the good weather in spring, he bought some cowpea kelp and other things, and planned to store them after drying. As long as they are well preserved, they can be stored for a long time. It is also a good ingredient for stewing soup.
This season the tangerines are also ripe. Lu Qingjiu bought some to eat at home. After eating, the peels are also dried and can be used to make tangerine peels. Tangerine peel can be soaked in water or used as a spice. Putting a little bit in the food can remove most of the fishy smell and greasiness.
Lu Qingjiu almost collected everything, and the rain fell in the sky.
Unlike the intense rain in summer, the spring rain is as smooth as silk, and even the sound is gentle, slowly falling on the ground, bringing out a rustling sound.
The air began to smell of earth, Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun sat at home, chatting and watching the rain outside.
"Did Bai Yuehu not bring an umbrella?" Lu Qingjiu thought of something.
"Don't he need to hold an umbrella?" Yin Xun said.
"No." Lu Qingjiu said, "He buys things in the town, so he can't keep off the rain like before." If this is seen by humans, then the white moon fox might not have to be watched.
"Hey, too." Yin Xun didn't expect this, and reached out to touch his head, "but it's raining little, so it doesn't matter if it gets wet."
Lu Qingjiu didn't speak, but just got up and went to the bathroom to get a dry towel and put it on the table. Thinking of the white moon fox's return, he wiped his hair directly.
The rain gradually increased, the dry land turned into a moist color, and puddles formed in the low-lying areas. Lu Qingjiu suddenly remembered something: "Hey, did you forget to cover the beehive in the backyard?" In order to clean it up, he took the oilcloth off the beehive and washed it, but he forgot to hang it back. It was raining now. Wooden honeycombs get wet easily.
"I'll go." Yin Xun asked, "Is the tarp in the kitchen?"
"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu said, "By the way, take a piece of honey out. I will make a cake tomorrow."
Yin Xun nodded, touched the umbrella and went out. Lu Qingjiu was still wondering if there was anything else he forgot to take back, but he heard Yin Xun's miserable scream from the backyard.
Lu Qingjiu was shocked and shouted: "Yin Xun!" He didn't even have time to open his umbrella, so he rushed to the backyard. When he rushed over, he picked up the wooden stick placed in the corner as a self-defense weapon.
"Ahhhhh-" Yin Xun still yelled miserably.
When Lu Qingjiu arrived in the backyard and saw Yin Xun, he inhaled a cold breath, and saw that Yin Xun's head was actually wrapped in a black umbrella. The umbrella seemed to be alive. His head was completely wrapped in it, and no matter how hard Yin Xun struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.
Lu Qingjiu put down the wooden stick and began to help Yin Xun tear the black umbrella, but no matter how hard he tried, the black umbrella stuck firmly to Yin Xun's head. Yin Xun began to struggle very hard, and then his movements gradually became smaller. There is no strength.
Lu Qingjiu's people are going crazy. He rushed to the kitchen and took the scissors, only to find that the material of the umbrella could not be pierced with scissors.
"Yin Xun, Yin Xun, hold on for a while, I will call Bai Yuehu immediately, and hold on again." Lu Qingjiu's face was full of water, and he didn't know if it was rain or sweat.
"Wait." Yin Xun's dull voice came from the umbrella, "I found that this thing doesn't seem to affect me much."
Lu Qingjiu: "...Huh?"
Yin Xun said: "Except that I can't see it." He reflexively wanted to scratch his head, but he touched the surface of the black umbrella, "Anyway, I don't need to breathe. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."
Lu Qingjiu: "...really all right?"
Yin Xun stood up from the ground: "It's really nothing."
Lu Qingjiu: "But you can't see it?"
Yin Xun: "I'm a mountain god, in fact, as long as I think about it, I can see without my eyes, but I don't like to use this ability. After all, I always see something that I shouldn't see."
Lu Qingjiu: "Do you have any other feelings?"
Yin Xun: "...feeling? It doesn't feel much." It doesn't hurt or itchy.
Lu Qingjiu took a deep breath: "Then why are you **** like a slain chicken?"
Yin Xunsan said, "Isn't this scared?" He became confident again, "If you were suddenly hugged by something like this, wouldn't you call it?"
Lu Qingjiu thought I didn't have a chance to call it anything, anyway, people would be suffocated to death in two minutes at most.
Yin Xun said, "Then what should I do now? Just let it on my head?"
Lu Qingjiu sighed: "Make do, when Bai Yuehu comes back, let him get it for you."
Yin Xun said, "Well, it's still raining, you can go in first, and I will paste the tarpaulin on it."
Lu Qingjiu said: "No, let's go in together." His heart really can't be stimulated anymore.
Yin Xun covered the tarpaulin neatly, proving that he could indeed see it, and only after setting up the beehive did he enter the house with Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu took the towel and wiped his face, then glanced at Yin Xun whose head had turned into an umbrella.
Yin Xun: "Why are you looking at me? Does this umbrella look good?"
Lu Qingjiu: "..." My friend, why is your focus always so strange.
After Bai Yuehu finished shopping, his expression solidified as soon as he entered the house. He looked at Lu Qingjiu and then at the man next to Lu Qingjiu with an umbrella on his head.
Lu Qingjiu seemed to know what Bai Yuehu was thinking, and made an introduction: "This is Yin Xun."
Baiyue Fox: "...What kind of look is this? If your brain gets flooded, you want to open an umbrella?"
Lu Qingjiu: "..."
Yin Xun: "..."
Bai Yuehu, you are such a talent.
