My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 151, Spring Banquet ([-])

The morning mist gently enveloped the woods, and the faint light shone through the mist to the treetops.The tall trees were vaguely visible in the morning light. The trunks were covered with a layer of moss, slightly glowing with green, and sparkling with crystal light under the morning light.

A white pigeon passed by the pasture and looked at the fragrance wafting out of the field. He originally wanted to taste a few, but before he got close, he felt the pressure emanating from the scarecrow in the middle, and his movement stopped in mid-air. It fell into the tree next to the hut.

"Chichi..."

It jumped on the branch, and a more alluring fragrance floated over, which made the little white pigeon feel confused. Following the fragrance, it looked towards the hut, and saw the situation inside the hut through the window.

But before he looked deeply, a hissing sound suddenly came from behind it.

As soon as the little white pigeon turned its head, it saw a super huge spider. Its eight eyes were right in front of its eyes, which frightened it so much that it almost fell off the branch.

"hiss?"

The big spider screamed again, and then he saw the little white pigeon flapping its wings and flying away from the pasture in an awkward manner, leaving it a little confused.

But it didn't think much, and just hung quietly on the high branch of the big tree, looking through the window at Jiang Simiao inside.

"Morning, everyone."

Seeing that all the pet beasts and friends were sitting at the table, Jiang Simiao rubbed his eyes and yawned, got on the table disheveled, and said hello.

If it had been before, Isabel and the dwarf Zach would have been stunned for a moment after seeing Jiang Simuo like this, but after nearly a month, their communication and understanding had become much deeper.

At the Flower Burial Festival not long ago, Isabel and Zach got to know everyone in the town again.

Speaking of the Flower Burial Festival, it was a small festival for reciting poems and writing poems. Jiang Simiao did not memorize all the poems from his previous life like some literary copycats, but quietly watched everyone discuss and exchange.

Isabel also seems to have a particularly deep study of poetry. At the end, it was just the two of her and Grandma Yelena reciting poems in opposition, which was very lively.

It is also after this festival that everyone in the ranch seems to be living closer together, and they can come to the house to sit and chat no matter what.

Talking back to today, Isabel was really curious as to why Jiang Simiao specifically asked Shi Lai to call them all over.

"Is there anything special you need to prepare for today? Call us all over."

Isabel sat on the small wooden stool specially made for her, and turned to look around the table.

The three little slimes were all looking back and forth in their round chairs, not knowing what they were communicating with each other.

Uncle Zach was drinking a cold beer.

Some time ago, he tasted this drink for the first time while chatting with Sister Wu Hui.

The bubbles melting in his mouth and the slightly bitter taste made him want it so much that now, he drinks several glasses of wine every day.

If Jiang Simiao and Shi Lai hadn't consciously restrained him, Uncle Zach might have drank more.

Isabel looked at Zach, who was drinking heavily, and her eyes stayed on the beer he was holding.

It's not like it hasn't tasted it before, but it doesn't like the bitter feeling very much. It prefers sweet drinks, such as the good morning flower tea prepared for it by Shi Lai.

Although the flavor is somewhat different from the drinks in its hometown, it is just as delicious, and it even makes it feel nostalgic for some reason.

If you have the chance, you can tell Shi Lai some of the special dishes there.

Isabel's thoughts ran away unknowingly, and it wasn't until Jiang Simiao spoke that her attention came back.

"Ah, this." Jiang Simiao yawned again, looking much more energetic than before. His eyes were bright and he looked at everyone excitedly.

"It's because the Spring Banquet is coming. This is the most important spring festival in Ou Niao Town. It is held from morning to night."

Jiang Simiao explained to them with a smile, and took a bite of the omelette he made when he made it, and praised it.

"Meow."

Shi Lai also sat down in his seat. Most of the friends in the ranch had already gathered. Even the big spider who was too big also participated in everyone's meeting through the window.

"The Feast of Spring, I seem to have heard it several times." Isabel put her finger on her chin, trying to recall the details of the past.

Uncle Zac was still busy cooking. Although the big spider was hanging there, his thoughts had already gone somewhere. His eyes were darting wildly. The three little ones were still looking back and forth, and Jiang Simiao didn't even notice.

So the only ones who were actually discussing seriously were Jiang Simiao, Isabel and Shi Lai.

"The Banquet of Spring is a traditional festival in Ou Niao Town, or it can be considered a celebration festival." Jiang Simiao recalled the information he had checked and explained to it. "The Spring Banquet and Summer Festival, the Autumn Festival, and the Extreme Winter Festival are the four traditional festivals in Ouniao Town."

"By the way, you should all know about the Legend of Four Seasons."

Jiang Simiao turned to look at Isabel and Uncle Zach.

He asked the two of them because they had lived the longest as extraordinary beings and should have learned more than Jiang Simiao.

"I heard it." Isabel nodded.

"Didn't I tell you when you came to me to find elemental crystals before?" Uncle Zach didn't even raise his head, with food still in his mouth.It wasn't until the plate was empty that he raised his head, "I'm thinking about what the Spring Banquet is going to do. Should everyone prepare food, then dance, then offer sacrifices, and finally walk in the forest together at night to wish the end of spring? ."

"Absolutely." Jiang Simiao nodded, confirming what Uncle Zach said.

"So what I called everyone here in the morning is to say that the food preparation this morning is all about preparing your own food. This is related to the afternoon sacrifice, so everyone must learn to cook. Even if they are not good at cooking, they must use their own food. .”

Jiang Simiao's expression was very serious, because this was Bai Linglong's science popularization with him.

The Feast of Spring is really not an ordinary festival. The food prepared for sacrifice must be made by one's own hands to be effective.

Because the Spring Feast is indeed a ceremony to sacrifice the legendary life. Since there is a sacrifice, there will definitely be a gift in return.

When the Legend of the Four Seasons was still around, the sacrifices would definitely give corresponding blessings, which would be effective for a long time. Although they were not permanent, they were still very useful.

Although the legend of the four seasons fell asleep and disappeared a long time ago, and the blessings in return no longer appear, this ritual has at least been passed down.

Originally, Jiang Simiao didn't want everyone to make food with their own hands, so he asked Shi Lai to do it for everyone.

After all, the Spring Legend has not yet awakened. Even after so long, Jiang Simiao still has not obtained the Origin Wind Diamond. He feels that the summons of the Spring Legend may indeed be gone.

But Bai Linglong told him last night that tomorrow, that is, today - the day of the Spring Feast, when they go to give blessings at night, they can summon the Spring Legend and leave the matter of the Origin of the Pneumatic Diamond to it. .

"Feel free to summon it tonight, Siyuan Pneumatic Diamond. All conditions are sufficient, Miu~!"

This is what Bai Linglong said to Jiang Simiao last night, and urged him about hide and seek. "You are talking about Miu who has been playing hide and seek with me these past few days!" Bai Linglong still has a good memory and still remembers what Jiang Simuo said so long ago.

Jiang Simiao did not refuse. After all, this was an agreement. If the agreement was not fulfilled, it would be too much.

Having said that, it was also because of the conversation between Bai Linglong and Jiang Simiao last night that Jiang Simiao specifically asked everyone to prepare their own food today.

Because if the spring legend wakes up today, the blessings that should be given will still be given.

"Meow?" When they heard that everyone wanted to make things by themselves, the one who reacted the most was not Xiaoruan or Big Spider, but Shi Lai.

It looked at Jiang Simiao with a wary expression, carefully looked at him from head to toe several times, and asked with some doubts.

Are you sure you don't want to cook?
Even now, I still remember Jiang Simiao's glorious achievements. A piece of food can even make the legendary life Bailinglonggan faint.

Jiang Simiao:......

"Hahaha." Isabel covered her mouth and smiled secretly, but she was the first to set an example, "Since it is a festival requirement, I just want to show off my cooking skills and make some special dishes from my hometown. "

"I can do it too." Uncle Zach was the only one who had finished breakfast. Seeing that Isabel had already agreed, he immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll do it last, and you guys... go prepare the food first." Jiang Simiao clapped his hands, ending today's breakfast, and looked down at the three little ones who were kissing me.

"Let me think about how to make these three little ones and the big spider cook."

"Come on~" Isabel's voice was still very soft, but for some reason, Jiang Simuo felt ridiculed even though they were words of encouragement.

"Forget it, come on."

……

Thick smoke began to float outside the ranch cabin. At first, it smelled sweet, which was the food made by Isabel.This is made of various flowers. During the Flower Burial Festival, Isabel collected many petals. Jiang Simiao didn't understand what it was for yet, but he didn't expect that it would now use these flowers to make exquisite desserts. It feels so sweet.

The smell that wafted out after that was explosive, rich, full of seasonings, and rich in the aroma of meat. It was the meat cooked by Uncle Zach, which seemed to be a hamburger steak.According to Uncle Zach, this is the tradition of their dwarf warriors. Although it is not a warrior now, as long as it is an important holiday, it will still find a way to make hamburger steaks. This is a tribute to hard work and holidays. .

There seemed to be three little ones that came in after that. The rice they cooked had no flavor because they were making cold dishes. Jiang Simiao suggested that as extraordinary creatures that couldn’t use kitchen utensils, it was pretty good that they could make such cold dishes. .However, when he saw a slime gel salad brought out by Jiang Simiao, his face seemed to turn green with anger.

The next big spider does fruit cutting. It likes to eat fruits, so it is the simplest fruit cutting.Its claws are sharp enough and can cut fruit very well.

The little sweet queen is about to evolve, and it will only last for a day or two, so there is no need to make food.

The last person to enter was Jiang Simiao. Everyone who knew his glorious resume looked at his back with solemn eyes as he entered the kitchen. Finally, Shi Lai entrusted the heavy responsibility of supervision to him, asking him to supervise Jiang Simiao well and not to explode. kitchen.

"I said... don't look down on me!" Jiang Simiao waved the big shovel and said to Shi Lai with some dissatisfaction.

"Meow……"

Shi Lai wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously, and pointed at the pot with his paw on his face while Jiang Simiao stared at it.

Burnt...

"Uh..." Jiang Simiao turned his head and looked over, but he could smell the burnt smell before he even saw it.

"Ah! You didn't tell me earlier." Jiang Simiao quickly shoveled out the chicken wings and put them on the white plate next to him.

It was like a few black coals were placed on the white plate, making the chicken wings appear darker.

"It's edible, believe me, that Feng Ci is not picky about food." Although Jiang Simiao didn't have the confidence to taste it, but thinking of what Bai Linglong said to him, he still looked at Shi Lai seriously, trying to make him believe that this food was indeed edible. The matter of food.

"Bailinglong said that as an elemental life, Wind Thorn actually converts matter into energy when eating. Although it can choose to taste it, it can also absorb it directly."

Afraid that he might not believe it later, Jiang Simiao explained again.

Of course, all I got was a blank stare from time to time.

"Okay, okay, forget about this." Jiang Simiao wrapped the white plate in plastic wrap, put it into a box specially used for tributes, and finally put it into a storage bracelet.

"Okay, everything is done." Jiang Simiao greeted him and came out of the hut.

Everyone was waiting outside. When they saw Jiang Simiao coming out, they were about to go out.

But Jiang Simiao quickly stopped them: "Wait a minute, there is still one more friend to come."

Jiang Simiao smiled softly and looked towards the southern entrance of the ranch.

"Is there another one?" Uncle Zach pondered Jiang Simiao's words and looked around.

Three little ones, Isabel, the big spider, the queen bee and the little bee, and a few extraordinary chickens, aren't they all here?

Only Shi Lai, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Ying, who came to the ranch earlier, suddenly remembered that they did have such a friend after hearing Jiang Simiao's words and seeing Jiang Simiao's actions.

"coming!"

Jiang Simiao kept looking at the entrance until he saw a flash of green appear in his field of vision. An excited smile burst out on his face, and he waved his hands and shouted.

"Big gourd leaf frog! Come quickly, I'm waiting for you!!"

"Cuck!"

The big gourd leaf frog's big eyes were covered with water mist. After the energy was digested, it was bigger than before, and the leaves behind it seemed to be blooming.

But now it is still swaying and walking slowly.

The pasture is better now and it is more careful.

But Jiang Simiao shouted at it: "Don't be so careful, just jump over! Everyone is waiting for you!"

"Cuck!"

The big gourd-leaf frog was stunned for a moment, opened its mouth, showed a simple and honest smile, and then jumped over quickly.

Jiang Simiao turned his head and looked at them, who didn't know the giant gourd leaf frog yet, and said, "Okay, we are almost here now. A friend will come in the evening."

"Now, let's go!"
