Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.
So Xiao Baicai changed her name on the spot.
If someone enters the coordinates of Xiaobaicai's Peach Blossom Spring and wants to visit it now, they will probably find that the name of this Peach Blossom Spring has changed from "Xiaobaicai's Peach Blossom Spring" to "Baicai Jushi's Peach Blossom Spring".
After changing the name, Xiao Baicai excitedly ran to the warehouse to get ingredients, preparing to cook a delicious meal to entertain the travelers.
During this period, his cooking proficiency increased rapidly and he was even promoted to a higher level.
Compared with the first-level recipe, the second-level recipe contains more meat dishes, which is just right for using up all the meat that Xiao Baicai has stored, and then adding some vegetables for garnish.
It’s nice to have some fruit with the food. While picking the cabbages, I also brought out a watermelon, and a basket of grapes, lychees, etc.
Then I took a lot without realizing it.
"With so many things, what is Mr. Baicai planning to cook?" Su Shi saw Xiao Baicai carrying baskets of things towards the stove, and was shocked by the large amount of things he moved out. At first, he tried to make fun of him, but as he watched Xiao Baicai carrying more and more things, and the amount became more and more outrageous, he hurried over to stop him, saying, "Enough, enough." So many things were enough to hold a banquet even in a wealthy family.
"Ah? Is that enough?" Xiao Baicai, who wanted to move another cow leg, was at a loss.
"There are only a few of us, it's enough." Su Shi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Baicai then reluctantly closed the warehouse, "...Okay then."
But carrying so many ingredients and cooking them was a hassle, and they couldn't let Xiao Baicai, the owner of Peach Blossom Spring, run around and entertain them. Su Shi thought for a moment and suggested, "Since it's winter, why not just have a stove-heated party instead of the hassle of heating the pot?"
This proposal was quickly agreed upon by the other two.
As for Xiao Baicai… Seeing that everyone else understood at once, he was too embarrassed to raise his hand to ask a question at this time, so he secretly asked the land, "What could a heating stove be?"
"It's just a group of people getting together to eat hotpot. It's a relatively simple way of eating. All you need is a special pot and base." Land replied.
"Special pots and base ingredients? Do I have these?" Xiao Baicai asked in a low voice, flipping through the overview page of his backpack and warehouse.
"I'm sorry," said Ludi Wuqing, "all of these are in the next batch of gift packs."
The pakchoy froze and split open.
"Don't worry about it." At this time, Su Shi, who had proposed this idea, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The Warming Stove Society is not so particular about this. I've seen farmers use a stove as the base and place pots or small pans on it, and it becomes a warm stove. We can try this method too."
As for the base ingredients, Tang Song doesn't have hot pot seasoning packets. Isn't it normal to adjust it based on your own feelings and taste?
However, although he said this, Xiao Baicai always wanted to give the best experience to the travelers from his hometown. After a while, he couldn't help but secretly ask the land god if he could advance the hot pot gift package.
"Think about it, Land. The gift package will definitely be given to me anyway. It's just a matter of time, right? It's just a little bit early. CH will definitely not mind!" He made a little gesture.
【I am dying of laughter】
[Look at the expression of the land, the land is speechless hahahaha]
[This is the first time I've seen someone ask for an advance on a gift pack, haha, you're worthy of being Baicai Jushi, haha]
【ch:I mind】
【……】
Finally, after Xiao Baicai's hard pleading, although the land did not agree to let Xiao Baicai take out a loan to eat hot pot, he still found a way to find him a task, which would allow him to use the hot pot for a limited time of five hours after completing it. Xiao Baicai happily completed the task and got the limited-time hot pot, which was a cause for celebration.
In addition, other ingredients can be cleaned up quickly. Players can wash and slice the ingredients with just one click. It is effortless and the sliced beef and mutton are as thin as cicada wings.
Soon, all preparations for the "fireplace party" were ready. Xiao Baicai also replaced the carpet decoration in the wooden house with a carpet that said in the description that it "generates heat by itself."
"This thing is good. If it can be made by manpower, we can save a lot of firewood in winter." Du Fu sat on the blanket and touched it with his palm, thinking.
"It's really good, but it's a little short of wine." Li Bai turned his wine bag over and poured it out. When he saw that not a drop could be poured out, he threw the wine bag away.
"Wait, there should be some ready or almost ready in the brewery!" Xiao Baicai thought of this and ran to the brewery to check.
At the same time as he ran to the winery, the wines had just completed the final countdown and were brewed at the right time, as if they had been waiting for this moment.
Xiao Baicai picked out the higher quality Xinfeng wine, Gui wine, Shu wine and Luofuchun wine and put them into his backpack, then ran back happily to take out all the wine.
"Good wine!" Li Bai took the first sip of the wine freshly brewed by the winery, then closed his eyes and savored it for a while. He praised it, raised his head and drank the whole cup in one gulp. Then he stared at the bottom of the cup for a while and chanted leisurely, "Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is fun, and I must drink three hundred cups at a time."
This wine aroused the drinking passion of Li Bai, the wine immortal.
Du Fu raised his glass to Li Bai and said with a smile, "The other day I sent a letter to Brother Taibai, 'When will we have a bottle of wine together, and discuss the paper in detail?' I never thought that I would get what I wanted today."
"Hahaha, very good, come on, drink!"
The three poets here were all heavy drinkers. They'd already been drinking one after another before the hot pot had even started cooking, each one sipping with a cheerful air. Xiao Baicai, mesmerized by their boisterous drinking, unsuspectingly took a large sip from the wine cup, barely registering the taste.
Then when he came to his senses——
“Cough cough cough!”
"Slow down, slow down." Su Shi, who was sitting next to him, patted his back. "Bai Cai, this is your first time drinking, so don't drink it so quickly."
"Okay, okay QAQ, I didn't expect that..." After Bai Cai recovered, he didn't dare to drink anymore. He held the watermelon and took several bites before he recovered.
"Then try this, don't drink it all in one breath." Su Shi brought the osmanthus wine to him.
Xiao Baicai tasted the osmanthus wine little by little, and after recovering from the initial discomfort, she began to feel that it tasted a little better, and gradually she drank more and more.
You have to know that the physical fitness in the holographic game is similar to that in reality if there is no other enhancement bonus, which means that Xiao Baicai's alcohol tolerance in reality is probably not much different.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, everyone in the live broadcast room was chatting and posting comments in a relaxed manner.
When the drinks were halfway through, the atmosphere was just right.
When Li Bai got drunk, his face turned red. He drew his sword and stood up shakily. He walked to the snow in front of him, sprayed a mouthful of wine on his sword, laughed loudly, and started to dance with the sword, "Bells, drums, and jade..."
Du Fu and Su Shi both put down their wine cups and watched the poet in white improvise and dance with a sword in the snow.
"...Not worth it." Li Bai seemed to be so drunk that he could not even stand steadily, but his sword dancing movements were as smooth as flowing clouds and water, like a drunken crane in the snow.
"I wish I could be drunk forever—and never wake up again!"
The snowflakes on the open ground were blown up and scattered everywhere.
A flash of cold light pierced the snowflakes.
"Brother Taibai is truly a fairy in wine!" Du Fu watched intently and exclaimed in admiration. As he watched, he suddenly asked Xiaobaicai for paper and pen, and drew and wrote poems on the paper.
Su Shi leaned sideways on it, clapping his hands happily and singing along.
——Taibai danced with a sword, Du Fu wrote a poem, and Su Dongpo sang along.
It is no exaggeration to call this scene a masterpiece of all time.
Xiao Baicai stared blankly, holding the wine cup. The audience in his live broadcast room who were laughing and chatting casually had unconsciously quieted down.
During this period, no one posted any comments.
The snow was still falling outside, and the firewood burning in the small stove inside the house made a slight crackling sound.
There was also the gurgling sound of the hot pot boiling on the small stove.
In this way, it seemed as if the only thing left in the snow-white world was this small wooden house and the banished immortal dancing with a sword on the snow in front of the house. His live broadcast screen recording faithfully recorded this scene and passed it down forever.
[…This scenery, these people, this feeling, this atmosphere, it’s absolutely amazing! ]
[I, I can’t put it into words, but it’s so beautiful, so beautiful!!]
I suddenly feel that these travelers must be remarkable people in their own world, right?
Why?
"I don't know, it's just a gut feeling, hard to describe... I thought everyone would feel this way when watching this scene, am I the only one...?"
I actually feel the same way.
[I feel like there’s something stuck in my chest that I want to pour out, but I really can’t describe it. I’m so angry. Sigh]
——The so-called indescribable feeling is actually romantic.
Just these three people sitting here motionless, drinking wine and reciting poems and composing verses towards the snow scene outside the house is already a romantic act that will be remembered for ages.
When Li Bai finished his sword dance and put his sword into the scabbard and returned to the house, he was still cold from outside. He poured himself three glasses of wine before he sat down, and then sat down unsteadily.
"Brother Taibai, are you drunk?" Du Fu put down his pen and paper.
"That's probably the case. I woke up a little after the sword dance, but now I'm a little sleepy again after coming in and feeling the warmth of the fireplace." Li Bai half-closed his eyes and waved his hand, "I'll take a nap first. I'll continue drinking with you guys when I wake up."
After saying that, he leaned down anywhere, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Du Fu laughed and slowly finished the half-finished painting.
When Xiao Baicai took a look, she discovered that the painting not only depicted Li Bai dancing with a sword in the snow, but also the wooden house, the three people in it, and Du Fu himself.
It was just a simple outline, but each posture was different and unique. Xiao Baicai saw herself at a glance, holding a wine cup behind the table.
"Do I look too dull...?" Xiao Baicai looked left and right, muttering to himself.
Su Shi smiled and said, "I think this is exactly what makes Bai Cai the lovable brother in the painting."
"Really?" Xiao Baicai believed it again.
The remaining three people were still drinking, but this time they drank slower, not drinking one cup at a time, and started to enjoy the hot pot.
Du Fu's face was full of joy at first, but after Li Bai, with whom he drank and wrote poems, fell asleep, he became much calmer, and his eyes gradually became filled with sadness as he looked at the snow scene outside the house.
"Du Gongbu." At this moment, Su Shi suddenly raised his cup to him, pulling his thoughts back. "It's rare to have such a good time today, so why not be happy?"
When they were drinking, they had already called each other by their courtesy names, but at this moment, Su Shi suddenly used this name.
"Why do you call me the Minister of Works?" Du Fu drank a glass of wine and looked over with some confusion. "I have never worked in the Ministry of Works."
At this time, Du Fu, also known as Du Zimei, was 43 years old. Because of Li Linfu's so-called "no talented people left in the wild", even though he was appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong, he had no real official position and his ambitions could not be fulfilled.
The author has something to say:
It's a little past the mark! [Touches hair]
Note: Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is fun, and drinking three hundred cups at a time is necessary.
When will we have a bottle of wine and discuss the paper in detail?
Bells, drums, and delicacies are not expensive, but I wish to be drunk forever and never wake up.
