After the Dragon Soul was captured, Hu Chenrui quickly contacted Kongsang Police Station and finally solved Director Huang's urgent problem.

The two sides agreed on an escort plan to send one-eighth of the Dragon Soul back to Kongsang and suppress it again under the observation point.

On the phone, Director Huang was deeply moved and his voice was nasal, sounding like he was about to cry: "Old Hu, I knew you were the most reliable and would not let me down at the critical moment!"

"You risked your life to go to Huaijiang that year, and now you still uphold the revolutionary spirit. It was indeed the popular choice that you were chosen."

Hu Chenrui: "...Say something that will make me happy."

Because Long Hun was arrested by the Huaijiang Bureau, Hu Chenrui discussed a lot of compensation terms with the Kongsang Bureau, including giving priority to diverting plant demon prisoners to Huaijiang, long-term cooperation on Kongsang Bureau's special products in the future, and the distribution of Guan Bureau products in the Kongsang area.

In the office, Chu Zhishui learned about this and she couldn't help but sigh: "Director Hu really cares about our business."

"It's because the dragon is too useless. Its only use is to make work clothes and suppress furnaces." Xin Yunmao sneered, "Hu Chenrui can't peel off a piece of scale, so I can only use him to negotiate. Do you think everyone is like me, with both strength and money?"

The dragon soul is the foundation of the Observation Bureau. Its main function is to forge demon-suppressing robes and suppress the furnace of the Observation Department. The monsters took power from the old gods, and then gradually formed small organizations to deal with disputes between humans and monsters, and monsters and monsters, so as to avoid disasters like the war that year.

If we consider it purely from a living perspective, plant monsters are indeed more practical than animal monsters, more of them are pacifists, and they are more meticulous in their work.

Chu Zhishui hesitated to speak: "Although what you said is true, it doesn't sound right. Others shouldn't say this. How can you brag about yourself?"

Xin Yunmao accused resentfully: "It's because you, as a human being, have always been unwilling to compliment me."

"..."

Chu Zhishui clapped her hands in cooperation and said weakly: "Shenjun is awesome. He is a model little pacesetter in kindergarten."

"I have always been a model." Xin Yunmao ignored her previous and subsequent sentences, only extracted key words from them, and snorted, "Fortunately, the vegetable garden was not damaged, otherwise even if we peeled off the scales of the dragon, it would not be enough to compensate."

This is what he cares about most. If the bureau was smashed to pieces, the Economic Development Department would have to make money to rebuild it, and then she would probably be even busier.

The matter of the dragon soul was handed over to Miao Lu and other monsters. The Economic Development Department organized a team building trip to the city before Chen Zhuhui went to school.

Chu Zhishui drove them to the city, where they ate, drank and had fun in the bustling business district all day, and went to the night market in the evening.

The night market was brightly lit, with many small shops of various types, including snack shops selling snacks and handicraft shops selling accessories. Beautiful singing could be heard not far away, and some dancers in gorgeous costumes were dancing and soliciting customers at the edge of the square. It looked very lively.

Chen Zhuhui was overwhelmed. She had no chance to participate in various gatherings when she was a child, and this was the first time she saw the scene of a night market. She was even reluctant to blink.

The two demons bought a lot of snacks and tasted the freshly squeezed juices at the night market. They were not as delicious as the fruit juices in the bureau, but the containers were more innovative, and even the straws were beautifully curved.

"I was deceived by the appearance again. I said you can't just look at the shape." Chu Zhishui stirred the drink and studied it, "This is because there is space at the bottom to put dry ice and emit white steam, and then use a beautiful straw. If I let Brother Niu buy a batch of new cups, I estimate that the result will not be worse than this."

Chen Zhuhui pondered for a few seconds and said honestly, "I always feel that the cafeteria has more and more functions."

With the abundant funds in the bureau, Niu Shi obviously has more leisure time. Recently, he has studied baking and successfully tried to make a cake. Not only did he apply the cream himself, but he also decorated it with colorful fresh fruits, just like the ones in the cake shop.

If things go on like this, maybe employees will not only get cake coupons on their birthdays, but they can also get fresh fruit cakes directly from the cafeteria.

The trip to the night market was quite pleasant, allowing them to have another full meal after dinner, eat some midnight snacks from time to time, and chat about random things.

The only flaw was that Jin Yu ran into a small vendor who was catching goldfish and shouted that it was cruel. In the end, he paid for a whole basin of goldfish and would not allow fish to be played around by humans.

"But what about these little fish?" Jin Yu held the basin of water, she blinked in confusion, and looked at Chu Zhishui again, "Has your house just been renovated? Otherwise, raising some goldfish is good for Feng Shui?"

Chu Zhishui whispered: "I thought you were just filled with righteous indignation and would not allow humans to raise goldfish."

Jin Yu refused to accept the small net bag to catch the goldfish, and insisted on buying the basin of small fish. Fortunately, the price was not expensive. Now that her salary has increased, she can naturally pay.

Jin Yu: "Raising fish is different from playing with fish. If it lives in your house, the fish will definitely be happy..."

Xin Yunmao's face sank, he glanced at Jin Yu, and said coldly: "What?"

She couldn't even cover the dormitory for this fish, and the other party wanted to go a step further, so he planned to enter the house.

Jin Yu knew she had said something wrong, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly and intelligently shut up: "..."

Chen Zhuhui smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Let Brother Niu stay in the bureau. Didn't they say that the new pool was just built?"

Before leaving, the Economic Development Department took a group photo at the night market square. Chu Zhishui posted the photo in the group. She felt that the photo was well taken and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, Zhuhui also came to the night market before school started. The next time we go out to play will have to wait until the winter vacation."

"Yeah." Chen Zhuhui responded softly. She looked at the group photo on the screen and added it to a special album collection. There were photos collected

last week, all of which were her bits and pieces in the bureau. On the screen, the clear and tangible night market group photo completely covered the hazy fragments in her mind. This was her first time to come to the night market and experience everything new in person.

No costumes, no lantern puzzles, these are Chen Zhuhui's memories of the night market.

When early autumn came, there were new seasonal vegetables in the vegetable garden every day. Chen Zhuhui only caught up with the first wave of harvest and then hurried back to school with regret.

As autumn deepened, okra and winter melon in the field began to be edible, and the lotus in the pond not far away also withered. The white and tender lotus roots were dug out, washed, blanched and mixed with cold water, and they tasted crispy and sweet.

When Chu Zhishui bought a new house, he had imagined farming in the yard, and now he has realized his dream in the bureau.

Niu Shi was obviously more experienced than her. He picked seasonal vegetables from the vegetable garden every day to prepare meals for the canteen staff, and it was rare for the ingredients to be the same again. He would occasionally give Chu Zhishui some dishes so that she could take them home and cook them herself. Even Xie Yan and Chu Xiaohe praised them highly.

She had recently become obsessed with eating vegetable leaves. She didn't eat peppers, pumpkins, or loofahs, but only pepper leaves, pumpkin leaves, and loofah leaves, which were relatively rare ingredients in supermarkets.

The autumn rain was pouring down, ripening the vegetables in the fields and cleaning the bamboo forest at home. The dense raindrops fell on the bamboo leaves, knocking the green leaves and making them tremble, and dripping down.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard reveal their golden autumn colors, but the green bamboos are still tall and evergreen, decorating the new home with lush greenery.

The rainwater accumulated on the eaves flowed down, leaving traces in circles, but it did not splash on the nearby furniture.

Xin Yunmao was wearing a dark green ancient robe. His dark hair was now disheveled, and he was lying on his back lazily on the rocking chair, leisurely closing his eyes and taking a nap. With her dark eyelashes hanging down, she fell asleep under the hypnotic sound of rain, looking quiet and unprepared.

When Chu Zhishui opened the door to the small courtyard, he was faced with a gust of cool wind, mixed with moist rain, and subconsciously shivered. She wanted to advise Xin Yunmao not to sleep in the yard on rainy days, but when she thought about the bamboos growing outdoors all year round, she felt that maybe she didn't understand the differences between the species.

Xin Yunmao seemed to hear the door open, and the rocking chair also swayed.

"We had hot pot at noon. Hot pot?"

Chu Zhishui saw his eyelashes trembling slightly, and knew that he had woken up a long time ago, and was just closing his eyes to rest. He never needed sleep, and he ran to the courtyard to feel the nature.

As expected, Xin Yunmao opened his eyelids and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Okay."

Chu Zhishui saw that his clothes were disheveled and his long hair was messy. She glanced at his collar that had slipped down and the large area of ​​skin that was exposed, with his smooth muscle lines faintly visible. I couldn't help but remind him: "Although you have the freedom to wear whatever you want, I still don't recommend that you lie outside like this."

Xin Yunmao was stunned: "Why?"

Chu Zhishui said without thinking: "Short modern clothes later. If I wear ancient clothes with long hair, people will think I have two boyfriends. If that gets out, it will have a bad influence on people."

"..."

Xin Yunmao snorted and stood up reluctantly without even snapping his fingers. But now he was wearing light-colored home clothes, looking much softer than before, and went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot.

Preparing hot pot dishes was not difficult. Chu Zhishui set up the hot pot in the living room, poured two kinds of hot pot bases into it, started to boil water, and prepared the dipping sauce bowls.

Before she finished, she saw Xin Yunmao I have returned from the kitchen, holding frozen lamb rolls and a seasonal vegetable platter, with crystal drops of water on the leaves. White and tender raw lotus root slices, golden potato slices, semi-transparent winter melon slices, paired with pea tips, baby cabbage, lettuce and other leaves , plus the soaked sweet potato flour, it looks quite complete.

"You used magic again, this is too fast." Chu Zhishui said in surprise, "I didn't even heat the pot."

Xin Yunmao poked the hard mutton roll with chopsticks: "Then I will thaw it after a while, okay? Let's play games for a while. "

The man and the demon turned on the TV screen. They didn't watch TV often, but now they connected to the game console to kill time.

It's funny to say that Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao were farming and selling vegetables in the Observation Bureau. , they still farm and sell vegetables in the game, collect materials every day to sell for money, and then spend money to build houses. Find a plant demon boyfriend, and always farm even when playing games.

This game can be played online. Chu Zhishui has been thinking about making money, while Xin Yunmao is studying decoration every day. Since his demonic energy is useless to vegetable fields in the game, the angry god looks for bamboo everywhere and starts to promote the bamboo forest greening project

. When Chu Zhishui came back from selling goods, she would find that the manor was a little greener. While she was busy with the crazy expansion of her career, Luzhu completely turned into eye protection mode. It was obvious that he cared about her eyesight.

The hot pot was bubbling, and the fragrance was wafting. .

Chu Zhishui smelled the aroma, she quickly put down the handle, opened the lid of the hot pot, felt the hot and rich flavor, and said: "The water is boiling, it's time to eat."

The hot pot was red, spicy and stimulating. The tomatoes on the side tasted delicious and made people very hungry. Xin Yunmao poured the mutton rolls into the pot, stirred them slowly with chopsticks, and adjusted the pot to the appropriate level.

Chu Zhishui looked around and saw the table full of Ingredients, suddenly said: "It seems to be missing something."

"What else do you want to eat?"

"No, I should drink something." Chu Zhishui stood up and walked to the kitchen, "I'll go find it."

In the kitchen, the refrigerator was opened , there is no drink. The coconut water was finished a long time ago. They had been buying groceries at the bureau recently, so they rarely went to the supermarket to buy groceries. They had not been able to restock the groceries in time.

Chu Zhishui was lost in thought. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly opened the lower cabinet and took out a green Bamboo wine. After settling down in her new home, she brought the bamboo tube with her, but she didn't have a chance to taste it.

"Let's drink this." Chu Zhishui came back with the bamboo wine and cups.

Xin Yunmao saw the bamboo tube he had given away and said in confusion, " You want to drink in broad daylight?"

"I tried a little bit that day, it doesn't taste like alcohol, it's as light as coconut water." Chu Zhishui blinked, "You don't even allow me to give it to others, so when can I finish it? "

She usually eats alone, and of course she doesn't drink drinks solemnly. She is only interested in it when she is with him.

After Xin Yunmao heard this, he naturally had no objection and drank a cup with her.

Chu Zhishui poured bamboo wine into the cup, and she took a sip at first. It still had the fragrance of plants and trees, light fruit aroma and clear sweetness. She didn't feel a bit The pungent and stimulating taste of the wine flowed silently into her throat, making her drink one sip after another, and soon she couldn't stop.

She looked at the clear liquid in the cup, swiped the green bamboo tube again, and continued to taste it, exclaiming: : "Did you brew it with this kind of bamboo? It tastes really good."

I don't know what kind of bamboo can brew good wine.

Xin Yunmao said calmly: "No, I just use the bamboo I brewed myself and use it to store wine. "

Poof——" Chu Zhishui almost spit out the wine in her mouth when she heard this.
