I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

While he was doing it, Jin Da suddenly said: "Miss, this fish is too big. It would be a waste to make the whole fish ball soup. Divide it into half and fry it until it is crispy. You can keep it for Miss as a midnight snack!"

Song Yushan was shamefully moved again and nodded.

Uncle Jin's cooking skills were gradually discovered through her memories of the food in her previous life when she was young.

So Uncle Jin knows her tastes very well.

How can you resist?

In less than a day, Song Yushan lost all her armor and lost everything. From Uncle Jin asking her what she wanted to eat every day, to ordering her own food.

The next destination is Xuzhou. When studying the map of Xuzhou, Song Yushan also read some travel notes of Xuzhou and gained some understanding of the local customs, especially the food.

[Kyushu Tour] This mission, in addition to exploring the wild terrain, also requires visiting all the villages and towns in each state.

Record all the changes over the years to confirm that the Qingzhou Xianmeng Jiuzhou map record is accurate.

In this case, what’s the point of not trying the local specialties?

She couldn't really let Uncle Jin be her cook all the time. Song Yushan brought him out because she wanted him to enjoy life.

Ever since, this trip to Kyushu has unknowingly turned into a food trip.

Before entering Xuzhou, apart from eating and drinking, she read maps and travel notes every day, and practiced Zifu Cave Heaven.

A few days later, after entering Xuzhou, my daily routine consisted of looking at the land below from the clouds and checking and correcting the map.

Passing by mountains, forests and lakes, I took Uncle Jin to hunt and collect food in various mountains, forests and lakes, and survey the terrain.

When passing through a town, I took Uncle Jin into the city to eat local specialties, enrich the recipes, and learn about the situation in the town to check the map.

Of course, the cultivation of Zifu Dongtian will not be left behind.

Song Yushan was not worried about missing remote villages, because there was news from the blind scholar and the others in the underworld.

They also entered Xuzhou, and every once in a while, Song Yushan was responsible for burning a Yinshi Bookstore branch for them.

Moreover, the Yin World is formed where people live together. As a result, the land of the Yin World is much smaller than that of the Yang World. The blind scholar and the others move much faster than Song Yushan and others who fly on the clouds.

Often one step ahead of them and get to the next place first.

With them around, Song Yushan's exploration of towns and villages became more convenient.

Most of the time, Song Yushan has not arrived yet, and he can get the latest news from the underworld's letters several days in advance.

All this information was first-hand information obtained by Blind Scholar and the others from the ghosts in the local underworld.

The credibility is still very high.

Wherever the population has migrated, or where the place names have changed over the long years, Song Yushan can roughly know in advance.

In this way, she would know in her mind which places were worthy of careful exploration.

When the development of the Yinshi side encounters obstacles, Song Yushan can quickly arrive and solve the problems, which is very convenient.

Sometimes there are some local anecdotes sent with the letter, which look more interesting than the story.

If he is interested, Song Yushan will go and see the excitement.

When encountering injustice, he will occasionally take action.

But most of the time, she just looked at it.

Those that I thought were more interesting or educational were selected and sent back to the underworld in the county.

Send a copy to Miss Miao, who is now a specially hired writer of the bookstore, and give it to her as writing material. After a little polishing, she will publish it in the underworld newspaper.

Then I sent a copy to Ganning, so that my senior sister and two young nephews could see the customs and customs of various places.

The whole trip to Xuzhou went incredibly smoothly.

Neither the tasks of surveying the terrain and proofreading the maps nor the expansion of the Yinshi Bookstore encountered any obstacles.

The only disappointing thing is that there is no news about Qu Xia.

It's not on the map of Xuzhou in Song Yushan's hand, and it's not on the Yinshi side either.

There seems to be no place called Quxia in Xuzhou. The underworld in Xuzhou is just like Qingzhou, desolate and chaotic, with no order at all.

But this is just the beginning of the journey to Jiuzhou. Song Yushan has not lost hope yet. Not in Xuzhou, but not in other states.

When they were approaching the city of Xuzhou, Song Yushan received another letter from the underworld.

The things mentioned in the letter aroused her interest for the first time in a long time.

It is said that the name of a lake and swamp in Dustpan Mountain southwest of Xuzhou City has changed.

It was originally called Dustpan Lake, but now people call it Shigou Lake.

Changes in place names usually have their origins, and the same goes for Shigou Lake.

Many years ago, there was a clever old stonemason who came from a poor family, had no children, and had nowhere to live.

After his wife died, the old mason built a hut beside the dustpan to live in.

It's just that although the straw shed can barely protect you from the wind and rain, it can't stop those who are interested.

Every time the old mason came back from an outing, everything in the hut would be taken away, making his already poor life even worse.

To this end, the old stonemason found a large bluestone from the nearby Yunlong Mountain, carved it into a stone dog, and placed it outside the thatched shed to look after the house.

From then on, when the old mason came back from his trip, nothing was lost at home.

Word spread that the stone dog carved by the old mason could look after the house.

The landowner in the village took a fancy to this magical stone dog and asked the old stonemason to sell it to him.

The old mason was reluctant to part with it no matter what.

The landowner did not see the powerless, helpless and lonely old stonemason in his eyes, and directly sent people to snatch the stone dog away.

But who would have thought that the stone dog had just been snatched away during the day and ran back outside the old stonemason's hut at night.

Unwilling to give up, the landowner snatched the stone dog away again and tied it with an iron chain to the stone pillar in front of his house.

But at night, the stone dog bit off the chain and returned to the old stonemason.

The landowner became so angry that he threw the stone dog into the lake.

The old mason went into the water to salvage many times, but failed to find it.

Many years later, when people were cleaning the bottom of the lake, they found the stone dog.

The old stonemason put it outside the hut to guard the door, but the stone dog had lost its spirituality.

People say that the stone dog fell into the lake and drowned.

The old stonemason later placed the stone dog on Dustpan Mountain, and now it stands beside the mountain path!

Because of this, Dustpan Depression gradually became Shigou Lake in people's mouth.

This story was told by the old stonemason himself after he became a ghost.

He had two major regrets in his life, one was the loyal stone dog, and the other was his old wife whom he never got to see after his death.

"Uncle Jin, let's go to Shigou Lake next!"

Song Yushan said after reading the letter from the underworld.

One is to confirm whether Shigou Lake is the dustpan depression it once was.

The second is to go see the stone dog.

Song Yushan was quite curious.

The stone dog has a spirit and can take care of the home.

Is it possible that the old stonemason was so skilled that he could imbue stone sculptures with a mortal body?
