Chapter 47
Xiaochu nestled obediently in his arms, offering his furry belly.
The mixed meat filling has an attractive aroma. After adding chili powder, the color is still rosy even without red yeast rice powder, and it has a good color, aroma and taste.
The tempting aroma penetrated Xiaochu's nose. He opened his round eyes and kept sniffing, staring at the stuffed sausages with desire in his eyes.
Noticing his gaze, Yu Sui lowered her head and kissed the top of his head with amusement.
"This is still raw. Let's let it air dry for a while and then steam or stir-fry it."
Ever since he started working in the cafeteria, Ashan, who is responsible for cooking dinner for everyone, has been very interested in the topic of cooking. He has been squatting over and watching out of curiosity.
Chef Ashan thought that following Xiao Yusui would definitely help him improve his cooking skills, and he couldn't miss this opportunity.
Yu Sui strung the stuffed sausages together with a rope and hung them on the ceiling of the utility room, and used a needle to poke some small holes in the casings.
He had wanted to smoke some bacon, but he couldn't remember the detailed method. It was rather troublesome and he had never practiced it in his previous life. He would try it another day. Anyway, the weather was cool now and the meat would not go bad if frozen.
He remembered that when he was a child, his grandmother would dig a hole in the snow to freeze things. The snow was very clean at that time, and when they were thirsty while playing, they would stuff snow directly into their mouths. Later, due to serious pollution, they dared not do that anymore.
In the winter in the north, the outdoors is a natural refrigerator.
The frozen persimmons and fruits were very sweet. Yu Sui felt a little greedy, so he ran to the cellar to dig out some wild fruits and buried them in the snowman's belly.
"This looks like Ah Shan, hahaha..."
Notting laughed, pointing at the snowman's belly in the yard.
Xiaochu really likes this snowman. His brother has more ideas. He says this snowman doesn't look like Brother Ashan, but is much cuter than him.
Qi ignored the two people fighting behind him and tore off a piece of barbecue and handed it to Yu Sui.
"Don't be busy, eat something first, you haven't eaten today."
If he hadn't mentioned it, Yu Sui would have forgotten that he hadn't eaten for a day. However, the two clan leaders and Qi and others were also hungry today. Everyone was busy making felt and wool, and they were so excited that they had no time to think about eating.
The other tribesmen were forced to go to the cafeteria, otherwise the tribe would have saved at least half of its food today.
Yu Sui felt relieved when he saw Xu gave Xiaochu a piece of meat. He took a bite himself and stirred the bones in the pot with a long iron spatula.
The cooked pork ribs can be taken out of the pot after the soup is dried up. The rich sauce hanging on the big bones makes everyone's mouth water.
Today is a day full of harvest, it would be a shame not to celebrate. Yu Sui ran to the cellar to move the wine, and Qi also stood up to help.
Xu quickly shouted behind him: "Take less liquor, it's too easy to get drunk!"
He still hadn't forgotten the scene of "corpses everywhere" at Yu Sui's house last time, and he didn't want to get drunk again.
Notting nodded in agreement. Last time, when he was drunk, that bastard Ah Shan kicked him all night without him noticing. As a result, he still felt the foot odor on his face the next day...
Yu Sui smiled secretly and waved his hands behind him. He still felt a little regretful that he didn't see the snow werewolves being knocked down all over the cafeteria that day, but there were also many of them lying in his own yard, which satisfied his bad taste.
But you can't always be drunk, being slightly tipsy is good enough. Yu Sui filled half a pot of wine into a ceramic pot, and took out some berry wine and fruit and asked Qi to take them.
He was still a little angry about what happened during the day, but people tend to react more strongly when they are excited, and besides, free labor would be wasted.
Considering that Qi has helped him a lot, please forgive him.
Strangely enough, he had thought that after clarifying the misunderstanding last time, Yi Qi's personality would at least keep his distance from him for a few days.
But Qi was only strange for one day during the Nuan family dinner. After that, he came to his house to help as usual, as if that incident was completely over.
Yu Sui glanced at Qi suspiciously, and couldn't help but feel that this matter was not in line with this man's character.
After all, Qi hated the original owner's pursuit so much that in the novel he even chose Xu, who was his good brother at the time, as his partner rather than him. Why did he react so little this time?
Yu Sui, who had been alone for thirty years, had never been good at emotional matters. He felt a headache after thinking about it for a while.
After climbing out of the cellar, Yu Sui was about to leave the room when Qi grabbed his wrist.
He turned around in confusion and met Qi's deep eyes.
Qi took off the cloth bag from his waist and put it in Yu Sui's hand, with a smile on his face.
He seemed to smile more often towards Yu Sui.
Yu Sui took it, saw Qi's expectant expression, opened the cloth bag and looked inside.
This sight shocked him, and he said that this cloth bag was so heavy. It turned out that it was full of colorful magic cores!
He took one out and held it in his hand with his eyes wide open. Judging from the color and size, it must be more than level four. The problem is that there are many bigger ones inside!
When a warrior goes out hunting, most of the magic cores will be handed over to the tribe, and only those hunted by himself will belong to him.
There are so many magic cores in front of him, and the quality is not low. Qi Zhen is worthy of being the number one warrior of their tribe!
But with so much money, even Qi would have to save it for a long time. Yu Sui became very cautious when holding the cloth bag.
Qi has many scars on his body, which shows that even for a powerful man like him, hunting is not easy. These magic cores are hard to come by, so what can we do with them?
Yu Sui looked at Qi with a questioning look.
"Brother Qi, this is..."
"Don't you like them? These are for you to decorate and are gifts for your new home."
As if he had only given away the glass beads, Qi didn't even give the magic core a glance of regret. He had prepared it long ago, but unfortunately, he forgot to bring it to the Nuan Family Feast because of his complicated mood.
Are these used for decoration? I'm afraid they'll attract robbers! No, no one dares to rob the Snow Werewolves, because they'll be seen as showing off their wealth!
The most important thing is why did he give all the precious magic cores to her? And why did he do it so casually?
Yu Sui complained madly in his heart, looked up at Qi, then looked down at the cloth bag full of magic cores, and repeated this several times.
His actions caused Qi to chuckle softly, and he placed a large hand on the top of his head.
“You can use them to decorate your room or exchange them for something you like.”
It's not so outrageous even in dreams. So many high-level magic cores were given to him just like that, but Yu Sui didn't have the nerve to accept them.
At this moment, Yu Sui fully understood the original owner. He no longer said that the original owner admired the strong. Who wouldn't be moved by this?
Unfortunately, he really had no position to accept them. He had no pressure to accept the primary magic cores given to him, as the cubs in the tribe would also treat them as toys.
Yu Sui also liked shiny things, so he polished those transparent magic cores and hung them on the windows. They looked shiny and beautiful.
But these high-level magic cores are completely different. Judging from the number, they must be Qi’s family fortune. Why would he accept them?
Shaking his head, Yu Sui tied the cloth bag and returned it to Qi.
"I can't accept it. It's too expensive."
As soon as he handed it back, Qi grabbed his wrist. The handsome and tall snow werewolf lowered his eyes and looked at him. His deep eyes made him breathe hard.
"Why can you accept the one given to you, but not mine?"
This is completely different! Big Brother Xu was just coaxing a child. These high-level magic cores in front of him are not coaxing a child, it's more like...
Yu Sui, who was about to open his mouth to refute, suddenly froze, then came to his senses and remembered the reason.
Isn't this courtship? Handing over all your belongings to your significant other...
Shocked by his own association, Yu Sui's fair cheeks turned visibly red, so hot that they could fry an egg.
He couldn't help but despise himself in his heart. He just did random things all day long. These were simple snow wolves. How could he look at their actions with modern thinking?
"Anyway, I really can't accept it. I know that Brother Qi, you've been very good to me, and I've already received a lot of care from you. How can I accept so many magic cores? That would be too greedy."
Yu Sui looked at Qi in embarrassment and explained, "The magic cores that Big Brother Xu gave me were all elementary-level ones, so I could play with them. They are different from these."
The air pressure around him dropped, but Qi still refused to let go. He frowned slightly, and his stern face was full of dissatisfaction.
It's so difficult to communicate. Yu Sui's wrist was held tightly in Qi's hand. Although it didn't hurt, he couldn't pull it out with any strength.
He thought that he was definitely not as strong as a fifth-level monster. Qi was a person who could hunt a fifth-level monster alone, so his strength was insignificant.
After a stalemate, Qi finally spoke.
“This one can also be played.”
Yu Sui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and silently took the cloth bag back with his other hand.
It’s not okay for him to accept it. This is too difficult to communicate. Do you even know what the key point is? Yu Sui collapsed and roared in his heart.
I'll secretly return it to Aunt Lu tomorrow. He can't communicate with Qi.
He knew that this was Qi's thoughtful gesture, but it was too valuable to be accepted as a gift, and he had nothing of equal value to give in return.
The flower grower believes in reciprocity. He is very self-aware and will not accept anything without something in return.
However, where to put these magic cores today is also a problem... People with treasures always feel that nowhere is safe. After careful consideration, Yu Sui decided to put them where he usually sleeps and cover them with fur.
Fortunately, he decided to return it to Aunt Green tomorrow, otherwise it would be a problem where to put it.
Qi watched him struggling from behind with a gentle expression.
After hiding it, Yu Sui breathed a sigh of relief and served wine to everyone together with Qi.
The greedy Ah Shan and Notting were gnawing on a big bone, their mouths full of oil and their faces covered with dark red sauce.
Seeing them come back, Xiangcao and Xu looked at each other and looked at them jokingly.
Xu cleared his throat, handed a large bone to Xiangcao, and said, "You can take what Xu gave you, but why can't you take mine?"
"This is really too valuable. Keep it for yourself."
Vanilla answered seriously, but his men quickly put the big bones into the bowl.
The two foodies raised their heads and looked at their performance in confusion, not knowing what was wrong with them. Under the pressure of Vanilla's majesty, they dared not say a word.
The redness on his face spread again, and Yu Sui glared at the two of them in anger.
It was a misunderstanding that he had finally cleared up!
The villain in Yu Sui's heart roared angrily and then collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Although two people were being teased, only Yu Sui felt embarrassed. Qi sat down as if nothing had happened and even poured Yu Sui a glass of juice.
Yu Sui didn't even see when he finished making the drink. He said weakly, "Give it to Xiaochu. I want to drink and forget my worries."
Where he couldn't see, Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, gave Xu a threatening look, and said to Sui: "Didn't you say you would never drink again?"
He was not allowed to drink alcohol, so Yu Sui turned his grief and anger into appetite, gnawing on the big bones with all his strength. He was not satisfied even after gnawing all the bones, so he broke the bones with his hands and used chopsticks to pick up the oily marrow inside with satisfaction.
This pig is large in size and has thick bones. The bone marrow inside is as thick as two fingers and looks like grayish-white jelly. It is very delicious to eat.
After seeing how he ate it, a few people who had never eaten bone marrow began to imitate him, breaking open the bones and eating the marrow inside, all with expressions of amazement.
"Xiao Xiao is smart. He can find food inside the bones!"
Ashan enjoyed sucking the bone marrow, too lazy to use chopsticks, and he ate without any manners.
Xiaochu liked it even more. He happily buried his head in the bowl and ate the bone marrow that Yu Sui dug out for him. Afraid that he would get sick of it, Yu Sui poured soup on it.
If Xiaochu hadn't transformed into a human form to eat more, Yu Sui would have had the illusion of feeding a puppy.
He was watching Xiaochu eat with the eyes of an old father, and a bowl of bone marrow with soup was handed to him.
Yu Sui looked at the owner of the arm, and it was indeed Qi.
He thought of Xu and Xiangcao's vivid performance just now and was about to refuse, but when he saw Qi Wenhe's gentle expression, he hesitantly accepted his kindness.
Forget it, ignore these gossipers. Qi has good intentions. If he had a brother, he would be no different.
Xu held the bowl and winked at Qi.
They were worried that the previous misunderstanding would make Qi angry with Xiao Yu Sui, but he gave all the magic cores he had accumulated over the years to her, so their previous worries were unnecessary.
It was an early winter night with a biting cold wind, but the fire with a large iron pot on it was still emitting residual heat, so they didn't feel cold even when sitting beside it.
If it were still a human body, it would definitely get stomach upset if it sat in the cold wind to eat in the middle of winter.
Yu Sui recalled that when he was a child he liked to eat while playing, but his grandmother always strictly told him to go inside before eating, otherwise cold air would fill his stomach.
Moisture welled up in his eyes. He didn't know why. Yu Sui had actually accepted the fact that his grandparents had left him a long time ago, but he kept thinking about them after coming here.
It is a sunny day today. The dark sky is full of stars and there is an orange-red moon.
Although it is different from the starry sky I saw when I was a child, it is also full of familiarity.
He made a silent wish in his heart: If there really is a God in this world, please let me have a family again.
Qi looked at Yu Sui who was in a trance with his eyes flickering. Seeing the sadness in his eyes, his heart also felt sour.
He gently wiped away the tears from Yu Sui's eyes, and they looked at each other. Although there were noisy sounds around them, Yu Sui felt as if Qi was the only one in front of him.
Early in the morning, Heiyan, full of energy, hurried to the home of Chief Bangber and left just like he did yesterday.
Chief Bombur was hesitant to speak, helplessly held up by Black Rock like a big beard pendant, pointing him to Barlow's home, adding another victim.
The other ones who were good at handicrafts were all females. It was not convenient for Hei Yan to carry them directly, so he let them follow behind and he went to Yu Sui's house first.
