Chapter 20 [20] Eat soft rice for this sake
Twilight deepens.

Cheng Han entered Shanyifang, rode for a certain distance, and saw two small figures playing next to his house.

Even though it was more than ten meters away, he still recognized them at a glance. They were the two children from the neighbor's house next door.

One of them is a six-year-old boy named "Zhang Tie", and the other is a girl named "Zhang Wen", who is slightly younger, only four years old.

Cheng Han muttered softly, "Could it be that last night when I was roasting a bird in the kitchen, the smell escaped from the chimney and drifted to the next door?"

It is early autumn now, the temperature has dropped to about [-] degrees, it is considered relatively cold, and the sky is about to get dark. Whose children will stay outside?
The only answer is that they are playing on the surface, but actually want to smell the aroma of barbecue again.

Cheng Han sighed lightly: "Is this counting as wishing for plum blossoms to quench thirst?"

The income of ordinary people in Shanyifang is generally low. There are three children in the next door, so life is naturally quite difficult. It is estimated that they can eat meat only once in ten days and a half months.

Most of these two children have been greedy for a long time, so they will do this kind of behavior.

Cheng Han jumped off his bicycle and pressed the bell on the faucet.

"Ding bell~"

The crisp ringtone startled the two children.

Zhang Tie turned his head, showing a look of panic, and stammered, "Good evening...good evening!"

Zhang Wen hid behind her brother, tightly clutching the latter's clothes with her two little hands.

Cheng Han stared at their patched clothes and smiled gently: "Hey, do you want to eat 'tangerine candy'?"

He took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to the two children.

Tangerine candy is a relatively common candy. It is sold in stores for four copper coins per piece. The price is not cheap, and low-income families are naturally reluctant to buy it.

Perhaps only during the New Year, or major festivals such as the "Sacred Banyan Festival", these two children have the opportunity to eat candies.

Zhang Tie's eyes were full of longing, but he finally shook his head: "My mother said that you can't just take other people's things."

Zhang Wen poked out half of her head and couldn't help swallowing.

"Gudu!"

Cheng Han deliberately put on an unhappy tone: "Hey, I have lived in Shanyifang for more than half a year, do you still treat me as a stranger?"

Zhang Tie quickly shook his head: "I didn't!"

Cheng Han asked with a smile: "It's not a stranger, it's an acquaintance, right?"

Zhang Tie was stopped by the question.

The child always felt that this sentence was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Cheng Han continued to bully the children: "Since we are so familiar, I want to give you something small, but you refuse me, isn't that impolite?"

Zhang Tie wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain, his little face was red with anxiety.

Cheng Han laughed, and directly stuffed the candy into the opponent's hand: "You must be a polite child, so you must accept the candy."

Zhang Tie was completely confused, and he didn't accept it, nor did he accept it.

Cheng Han patted the heads of the two children, then pushed his bicycle towards his house.

Zhang Tie glanced at the candy in his hand, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "This candy is too expensive, we really can't have it!"

Cheng Han stopped and activated the Linghuan remnant seal with his mind, his eyes became slightly darker.

He turned his head and looked at the other party, his voice carried a strange force: "Accept the candy and go home quickly!"

A trace of confusion flashed across Zhang Tie's eyes, and the resistance in his heart instantly dissipated without a trace, and he replied, "Okay!"

Cheng Han cocked his lips, took out the key to open the door, and moved the bicycle in.

In addition to enhancing the spiritual value, the Remnant Seal of Linghuan can also quietly penetrate into the spiritual sea of ​​others, and then affect the subconsciousness of other people, making them obey their own will.

Zhang Tie was obediently obediently because of the influence of the residual seal.

Of course, with Cheng Han's current strength, he can only affect ordinary people at most, and cannot affect the strong above warriors.

outside the door.

Zhang Wen tugged on her brother's sleeve, her little face was full of longing: "Brother, can I have candy?"

The little girl licked her lips and added: "Just eat a small piece."

Zhang Tie shook his head: "We'll talk about it when we go home."

Zhang Wen suddenly showed disappointment.

But Zhang Tie's next sentence made her happy immediately: "I will cut each candy into four pieces later, two of which are eight pieces, and then we will eat one piece every day, so that we can eat it for a long time."

*
As soon as Cheng Hanfu entered the door, he immediately heard the routine greeting from his own black cat.

"Meow~"

The sheriff ran over quickly, rubbed the owner's trouser legs, turned around and ran a few steps lightly, and stopped at the kitchen door.

Cheng Han walked over and immediately saw a small dusty animal lying motionless next to the stove with a smile on his face.

This is exactly the rabbit.

Yesterday he told the black cat not to catch birds anymore, but to hunt the rabbits, unexpectedly it brought back a rabbit.

"Meow~"

The black cat meowed, squatted next to the rabbit, and looked up at its owner, as if waiting for a compliment.

Cheng Han glanced at the rabbit, then at the black cat, and said in surprise, "How did you catch such a big rabbit?"

The body length of this cave rabbit is longer than an adult's forearm, and its weight is estimated to be no less than five catties.

The black cat weighs only about ten catties, and it is really surprising that it can catch prey half its own weight and drag it back.

The sheriff flicked his tail slightly, and seemed rather pleased.

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head a few times, and praised: "You are getting better and better!"

The black cat narrowed its eyes and wagged its tail more cheerfully.

Cheng Han reached out to pick up the rabbit, felt the heavy weight, and was a little worried: "Too much meat is also a troublesome thing."

When he was in school, he was fed by Qian Qingqing every day. Recently, Wan Tengjiao seemed to have shown a tendency to be fed. After returning home, he would be fed by the black cat.

For the sake of eating soft rice, he himself admired himself very much.

Cheng Han took out a small knife, gestured at the rabbit, and sighed: "This rabbit is too big, it's a big project to peel off its skin!"

It took him half an hour, his hands were covered with blood, and he finally peeled off the rabbit's skin.

It's a pity that because it's the first time to do this kind of work, the skills are not skilled, and a piece of good rabbit skin has been pierced with several holes by a knife, and it looks tattered.

Cheng Han smacked his lips: "The quality is too poor, it may be difficult to sell for a higher price."

"Meow~"

The black cat barked, as if to say: It's okay, I can catch it again.

Next, start the fire and cook.

Cheng Han first put a piece of honeycomb fuel in the stove, activated the residual mark of true flame with his mind, flicked his right hand lightly, and a large cloud of sparks fell down and landed on the surface of the fuel.

"Whoo~"

Fiery flames burst out in an instant.

In the past, it was necessary to pour a little brown oil first to quickly ignite the stove.

In contrast, the former is obviously more convenient and quicker.

The black cat squatted beside it, staring intently.

Cheng Han grinned happily: "In the future, I can save the money to buy brown oil."

He analyzed the sun again last night, and the integrity of the residual mark of true flames increased by 0.34%, reaching a new height of 1.52%, while the temperature of the extraordinary flame increased by a large amount, enough to easily ignite the fuel.
