"Is this the talisman?" Zhou Yan saw a ray of light flash across the talisman that Xiao Yu had just drawn. As the light flashed, the originally red talisman pattern turned directly into gold.
If someone said that this talisman was made by a street guy, he would be the first one to not believe it.
"..." Xiao Yu nodded, raised his hand, and threw the talisman out. In an instant, Zhou Yan saw the spiritual light again. After the spiritual light, the thick dust in the "living room" disappeared, and the whole living room was refreshed.
Seeing the clean living room, Xiao Yu continued to draw talismans on the table he borrowed from the backyard of the "City God Temple".
The Dust-Repelling Talisman is the simplest of all talismans, so it is also easy to draw.
He drew five pictures in a row before he cleaned the entire cave.
☆
Seeing the newly renovated cave, Zhou Yan unpacked his luggage and took the pots, pans, food, and other items to the kitchen. Looking at the empty stone house, Zhou Yan was a little hesitant. If they were to live here for a long time, the kitchen would also need cabinets, cutting boards, etc.
"There's no firewood. I'll go out for a while." Zhou Yan said this and left the cave. There weren't many places to chop firewood in the nearby mountains. After all, even in the county town, many families still burned firewood in those days.
The land on the edge of the county town is owned by someone, and firewood must be collected from deep in the mountains. If it is too close, everything that can be cut has already been cut.
Zhou Yan thought about it, rummaged in his pocket, and took out a few coal tickets, which he had originally prepared for Gangzi and the others.
☆
When Zhou Yan returned with fifty kilograms of coal, there was some more soil on the "balcony", in which he planted a few green onions, garlic, spinach and rapeseed.
The shallots, garlic, spinach and rapeseed are all very small, and it is obvious at first glance that they are malnourished varieties from other people's vegetable gardens.
"I gave the money. One cent. I wonder if it's enough?" Xiao Yu wrote a note and handed it to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan smiled when he saw the dime in quotation marks: "If it's just this much, it's too much. These are worth two cents at most. But, can these be grown?"
Xiao Yu raised his chin and quickly wrote on the paper: "I am the god of land, and this is my job." After writing, he quickly made a few hand gestures.
Zhou Yan saw that the plants that were originally malnourished suddenly matured. The rapeseed that was once the size of a finger was so big that one can stir-fry a whole dish.
"Awesome!" Zhou Yan felt that his mood, which had been suppressed for the entire afternoon, seemed to be much better.
☆
Xiao Yu was a little unhappy when he saw the dozen or so garlic sprouts that had already sprouted. He had originally planned to save these for seasoning. Now he could only eat the garlic sprouts.
So, dinner consisted of fried bacon with garlic sprouts and stewed rapeseed with vermicelli.
In order to avoid using it as a staple food and still feel full, Xiao Yu was stunned when a handful of flour, a mixture of cornmeal and white flour, was added to the vermicelli stew.
Xiao Yu: ...Although he is not very particular about food, Mr. Zhou used to be a person who was particular about food.
Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Yan and smiled, and it was obvious in that smile that he was laughing at a joke.
Zhou Yan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yu shook his head. He asked Mr. Zhou, who had been living a life of luxury since childhood, to come here to overcome the tribulation. Wouldn't that mean he would be a poor man? Look, in order to eat enough, he tried every possible means to make the vegetable soup noodle porridge.
Xiao Yu felt that after dinner, he had to find a way to make some steamed buns with two-grain flour. Otherwise, with the current greasy food, his tall and strong Mr. Zhou would definitely not be full.
☆
Zhou Yan hadn't thought he'd be full for dinner, but somehow, he ended up feeling full. His stomach was still warm after finishing the meal.
He wondered if it was because the little land god had used some magical power. In the stories he had heard, eating the things of the gods could make one immortal.
"Let's get some yeast." Xiao Yu wrote on a piece of paper. "It's cold, so we can steam it once and eat it for many days."
Zhou Yan nodded. Xiao Yu didn't eat much for dinner. He could tell that the other party was worried that he wouldn't have enough. He didn't know what his connection with this person was, but this person never forgot to be nice to him.
"Let's go to the army. They make steamed buns every night to eat the next morning. We can take some leaven, and no one will care too much." Zhou Yan said that the most important thing was that he wanted to see how the dairy sheep and cows that were sent to the army were treated. If they were kept, they would definitely be milked. Then he would go early every morning to get some, and save as much food as possible for the children.
☆
After they finished their meal and put the child to sleep, it was already around seven or eight in the evening. At this time of winter, it was already very dark. Furthermore, there were not many streetlights in Luohe County. Looking down from the statue, one could tell from the scattered flickering lights that there was a city, but everywhere was still dark.
This time, Zhou Yan led the way.
The two of them only escaped underground once and arrived under the army's kitchen.
Because Zhou Yan hadn't yet mastered invisibility, it was Xiao Yu who went to get the starter. He didn't take much, only about half the size of an adult's fist. As he was about to leave, he noticed some discarded rapeseed and garlic sprouts in the trash can. They were very thin, no thicker than an adult's finger.
But because there were so many of them, Xiao Yu picked up a big handful.
The steamed buns in the army were very fragrant. Xiao Yu had to endure it with great difficulty and did not steal one to try.
☆
"What's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, you can tell me." Xiao Yu handed the written note to Zhou Yan. There was something wrong with this man since he came back from the army.
Zhou Yan looked at Xiao Yu, a man who constantly tried to protect himself. There were things he shouldn't have hidden from him. He added a piece of wood to the stove, making the charcoal fire burn brighter. Then he said thoughtfully, "Today I went to the city and found out I was a wanted criminal."
