Chapter 133 Chapter 135 Tonight we make dumplings with pickled cabbage and pork belly

Hearing that someone had broken in, Rong Xianxian guessed that it must be Cui Lie and the others who were waiting to find her. The golden needles in Aunt Hu's body had not yet come out, so she couldn't leave, so she gave Wang Yiheng a talisman to eliminate the evil spirits as proof, otherwise, Cui Lie might not believe him.

The talismans she carved were unique, and she always stored such things in her sachet space. When Cui Lie saw it, he naturally knew what she meant.

"Was that a talisman?" Liu Qingchen asked with raised eyebrows in surprise.

Rong Xianxian deliberately revealed the talisman because she had taken a fancy to Liu Qingchen's "Secret Technique of Crossing the Soul". Although before treating Aunt Hu, Liu Qingchen had said that if she could cure the patient, she could name any conditions, but the "Secret Technique of Crossing the Soul" was so amazing that Rong Xianxian was determined to get it. She revealed the talisman at this moment to increase her bargaining chips. After all, Liu Qingchen had done her a favor in her previous life, and she didn't want to repay her favor in this life. She couldn't let Liu Qingchen suffer too much.

"Yes, you know talismans?" Liu Qingchen asked proactively. Rong Xianxian was a little surprised. She had originally wanted to demonstrate the power of talismans to attract Liu Qingchen's attention.

The art of talisman making is different from that of weapon refiners, pharmacists, and even formation masters, which were highly accepted in the early days of the apocalypse. This is because it is difficult for talisman makers to get started, talisman-making skill books are very rare, and most people do not understand talismans.

Liu Qingchen's tone just now clearly showed some disbelief, as if he was very aware of the power of the talisman.

"I feel that your talisman is full of spiritual energy. How did you introduce the spiritual energy into the talisman?" Liu Qingchen seemed to be very excited. As soon as he said this, he realized that his behavior was inappropriate and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Rong. I have an old book about talismans. I have studied the talisman techniques in it. The talismans introduced in the book are extremely powerful, but the talismans are very disappointing after they are made. I have also tried to introduce spiritual energy into the talismans during the production process, but all failed without exception." Liu Qingchen has a high IQ. He naturally knows that since Rong Xianxian took out the talisman in front of him, it is obvious that she is not shy about this topic!

When Rong Xianxian heard Liu Qingchen say that he had an old book about talismans, she was also very interested, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation for a while.

When Cui Lie followed Wang Yiheng in, he saw Rong Xianxian and Liu Qingchen chatting and laughing. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, with harmonious temperaments and a harmonious atmosphere.

Cui Lie paused, then his steps became heavier. Rong Xianxian heard the noise and turned around. "Ah Lie, this is the owner of this place, Liu Qingchen. His family used to be neighbors with my aunt. He has just agreed that we can stay here tonight."

Cui Lie nodded gently to Liu Qingchen, and their eyes met, like ripples on the water.

"Yiheng, there are several large vehicles in Doctor Rong's team. Take a few brothers with you to help them settle down." Liu Qingchen instructed Wang Yiheng.

After Rong Xianxian removed the needles from Aunt Hu, Aunt Hu immediately got out of bed and started to work. "My daughter, you don't know that when Chenchen was a child, he loved the food I cooked. The pickles, dumplings, and spare ribs I made were delicious. In recent years, my health has not been good and I can't cook anymore. The food cooked by others is not as good as the food I cook myself. Thanks to you, Auntie's illness has been cured. Auntie will cook today, and my daughter must taste Auntie's cooking skills."

Aunt Hu ran into the yard happily, her feet walking briskly. The yard was neatly paved with red bricks, but she didn't expect that there was a cellar under the south wall. Seeing that Aunt Hu wanted to go down to the cellar, Liu Qingchen hurried over. Under Aunt Hu's command, she moved out a jar of pickles from the cellar and took out a few pieces of smoked pork belly. "My girl, Auntie, I'll make you some dumplings with pork belly and sauerkraut stuffing today. What else do you want to eat? Just tell me, Auntie, I can do anything!" Auntie Hu held Rong Xianxian's hand and smiled from ear to ear.

Rong Xianxian quickly said, "Auntie, dumplings are great. I love eating dumplings the most, and I'm good at rolling out the dough!"

Yaoyao was playing with Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo, and ran over quickly when she heard the words, "Grandma, grandma, I like the braised pork you make the most. Xiaoluo likes white meatballs, and Xuanxuan wants to eat wontons."

Rong Xianxian was a little embarrassed. She wanted to say that children were ignorant and she didn't need to bother with him, but she looked at Yaoyao. It would be inappropriate to mention other people's children in this way. But Aunt Hu laughed a few times and said, "Do whatever you want, my girl. It's up to you what you do with the baby you give birth to. Look, it's even prettier than the golden boy in the painting. So adorable. Oh, my, whoever has a baby like this would be so envious!" Aunt Hu looked at Xiao Luo who was holding a small bow and arrow in his hand, and Xuanxuan who was carrying a furry little rabbit backpack on her back. Every wrinkle on her smiling face revealed kindness.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with steaming dumplings with sauerkraut and pork belly, white round meatballs, hot oil sauerkraut fish topped with a layer of fiery red dried chili peppers, red, shiny and trembling braised pork, cute little wontons, fragrant home-made dumpling soup, and many other side dishes. The table was filled to the brim, and even Aunt Hu served everyone a jar of wine. Rong Xianxian had drunk a lot of good wine when she worked in the unit and attended occasions or parties. As soon as this wine was opened, it smelled fragrant, and you could tell it was a vintage wine.

In addition to Rong Xianxian and his group, Liu Qingchen, Yaoyao, Wang Yiheng, and Liu Qingchen's nephew Liu Yihong were also present. Perhaps because Lu Huazhi was not present, Liu Yihong looked very silent and seemed to be in low spirits.

But this did not affect the fun at all. While eating, Wang Qirui spoke well of Aunt Hu, "Auntie, all the meals I have eaten in my life have been wasted. I have eaten a lot of delicious food from restaurants and takeout in the past, but I have never eaten such delicious dumplings, such fresh fish, such tender and sweet meatballs. Your food skills are really amazing." Aunt Hu was praised so much that she couldn't stop smiling. She happily asked everyone to eat more.

After eating and drinking, both the host and the guests were in great joy. Liu Qingchen went on a routine inspection outside the town, while Wang Yiheng led them to the place arranged for them.

Liu Qingchen was grateful to Rong Xianxian for curing his mother, and wanted to arrange Rong Xianxian and her group to stay in a few houses in the center of the town, where the safety factor would be higher.

Rong Xianxian insisted on living in a house relatively outside. Although she had a friendship with Liu Qingchen in her previous life, in this life, apart from Rong Xianxian's identity as a relative that could not be found out, Cui Lie and the others had an unknown origin to Baihua Town.
