"Master, do you want to buy anything? The things here were so complete and beautiful.”Gui 'er really looked like a country girl who had just entered the city.
"Take a look! I don't know now. Let's see! Alright?" The two of them nodded in unison. Suddenly, they saw a stall selling meat.
"In a while, we'll buy some meat and food to bring back. I'll give everyone a taste of my cooking. It's been hard on you to take care of me for so long!”Li Zimeng held their hands.
"Yay! Master, how did you know that I wanted to eat meat? I haven't had any oil in a long time. Master, you're amazing.”Gui 'er danced with joy.
"Buy whatever you two need.”He pointed at the two of them.
After strolling for half a day, he had a general understanding of the market here. The place here was the most luxurious, and the living standard here was quite high. There were many people passing by, and the goods were also complete. It seemed that he had to plan what he could do to make money.
"Master, do you still want to buy?" He looked at the two of them with their hands full.
"What about you guys? Do you want to buy anything else? "Don't be polite, we have money," Li Zimeng said jokingly to the two of them, afraid that they wouldn't be willing to spend money. The two of them shook their heads at the same time, and the three of them returned to the small courtyard. The smell of cooking smoke wafted in the small courtyard. In modern times, Li Zimeng had lived by herself for twenty years. One could imagine how strong her ability to live was.
Back in the small kitchen, Li Zimeng put on an apron and rolled up her sleeves. She killed the chicken, the fish, prepared the dishes, and stir-fried the ingredients. Everything was carried out in a natural and orderly manner. Gui 'er carried out the dishes one after another.
"Master, what is this!" Gui 'er asked curiously.
" This is called hotpot. It's a little spicy when you eat it. I wonder if the two of you can accept this taste." Li Zimeng didn't expect that there would be such a good thing as chili in an unknown place far away. He kept stir-frying it.
"I like spicy food. I remember that there were many such peppers in my hometown.”Gui 'er said with a hint of sadness.
"And then? What's wrong?" Li Zi dreamed that Gui 'er was slightly sad.
" Then, there was a heavy downpour one night. The rain was terrifying. Unexpectedly, the mountain collapsed in the middle of the night. Everyone was buried under the mountain. I was collecting herbs on another mountain and was trapped in a cave. When I returned home the next day, there was nothing left." Gui 'er became more and more agitated as she spoke. Tears burst out of her eyes.
"Look at how lucky you are. Out of so many people, only you survived. This means that the heavens have blessed you! You have to survive for the people in your village. "Li Zimeng doesn't know how to comfort her. In modern times, there are mudflows everywhere. It seems that natural disasters and man-made disasters are the same everywhere. We all rely on luck to survive.
"What about Lian 'er? How did you…" Li Zimeng didn't know how to ask, but if he didn't ask, he would always feel like there was a gap between them. He might as well say everything today!
"My family was poor. After my parents passed away, my family was even more destitute. I followed my uncle. My uncle's family had a son who was about to reach the age of marriage. My uncle's mother thought of ways to sell me in exchange for some money so that she could marry him. Later, I overheard them talking about selling me to a brothel for a high price. When she couldn't take it anymore, she thought of working as a servant girl at some family. At least her life would be guaranteed. That was how she met Master.”Lian 'er finished the whole story in one breath. It seemed that they were all pitiful people.
"It seems that the three of us are destined to be together. Tonight, let's drink until we're drunk and forget about those unhappy things. Tomorrow, we'll be brand new people.”Li Zimeng finished preparing everything. He wiped his sweat with his hands and said firmly to the two of them.
The stone table was filled with dishes. In the middle of the table was a small stove, and the red oil in the pot was boiling. Without the heat of the day, the breeze was a little cool, just right for eating hotpot.
"Let me teach you how to eat? Just like that, he put the meat and vegetables that he wanted to eat into the pot and cooked them. After a while, he could eat them.”The three of them filled the pot.
"Master, where did you eat this? How come this servant has never heard of it before?" Gui-er asked while drooling.
"I invented this myself. It's simple and lively to eat like this.”'Li Zimeng, you're so thick-skinned.' Li Zimeng cursed himself in his heart.
"Gui 'er, there's still a bar! Go get the wine." Li Zimeng found an excuse to send Gui 'er away to ease his embarrassment.
"Oh right! When I came back, the two of them had already started eating.
" Great! You guys didn't wait for me!" Gui-er put down her glass and poured three full glasses of wine for them.
"Quickly come and try it. This is really delicious.”Lian 'er stuffed a large piece of meat into her mouth.
Gui 'er's bowl was full, and she took a big piece and ate it with relish.
"Master, you're so good. I've never eaten so happily and so at ease. Thank you.”As Gui 'er spoke, her tears almost came out again.
"Hey, hey, why are you so sad even when you're eating? It seems that you're so easy to bribe.”As Li Zimeng spoke, he poked Gui 'er's head with his hand.
"I will never be bribed again. I am only Master's. In the future, Master will be the only Master.”Gui 'er said firmly.
"Just because you ate my flesh?" Li Zimeng teased.
"Because Master is good to me." Gui 'er said.
"Hurry up and eat! In a while, Lian 'er would finish it. Li Zimeng gave Gui 'er a look and saw Lian' er wolfing down the food.
" Stupid Lian 'er, you only know how to eat." Gui' er also started to eat in big mouthfuls.
"Come, come, let's drink together. For our destiny, for our encounter, cheers.”The three of them raised their glasses and clinked them together before downing them in one gulp.
"Wow! This wine is really strong." Li Zimeng stuffed food into her mouth to ease the spiciness of the wine.
"What wine is so strong? Can I have a cup?" A male voice came from the tree behind him.
"Ah ~~" The three of them shouted at the same time.
The three of them looked for the source of the sound. On a large tree branch, there was a man in red lying down. His face was as seductive as a ghost. The word 'seductive' was probably used to describe him! Nobody knew when he was there.
"Sir, this hobby is not good!”Li Zimeng lowered his head and drank another cup.
"Oh! What hobby? Why don't I know?" The man sat up and stroked his hair.
"Peeping? Is that your hobby?”Li Zimeng said.
"Young Lady, you have wronged me. This one was just tired from the journey, so I rested on this tree for a while. Who knew that I would offend you, Young Lady?”The man curtsied, but for some reason, he still felt like a ruffian.
"Master, so handsome!" Only now did he realize that the two girls had long fallen into a romantic relationship. Their eyes were filled with infatuation. It seemed that the men in ancient times were also experts at picking up girls!
