I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 19 Bet
"What kind of soup is this? It smells so good."

Meng Shulan sat at the small table in her kitchen, picked up the Dragon and Phoenix Soup in front of her, and took several sips in a row while saying to Meng Jiu, "Dad, your cooking skills have improved again. This soup is really good, it's ridiculously delicious."

Meng Jiu and Meng Qi, along with Lin Qingquan, all said in unison, "It's chicken soup."

Meng Shulan looked up and glanced at the three of them suspiciously, feeling that their tacit understanding was a little abnormal.

Meng Jiu remained expressionless, scooped a chicken leg from the soup, and put it in her granddaughter's bowl.

Meng Shulan was relieved upon seeing it; it really was just feel-good fluff.

But why does it taste different from before?
“Your aunt’s old hen, which she’s raised for eight years, is no different from other chickens.”

Meng Shulan had no reason to doubt it. Her aunt raised chickens in a free-range manner, feeding them insects and grass seeds, which was indeed different from chickens raised in enclosures.

On the other hand, apart from her and Xiao Qi, no one else can actually get her chicken.

"I'm going to her house later. I need to tidy up the house and give her a bath while I'm at it."

The "aunt" Meng Shulan mentioned is Meng Jiu's sister-in-law. As the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, Meng Jiu sees this sister-in-law who raised him as no different from his own mother.

The old lady is 82 years old this year. She is still quite agile and can usually grow vegetables and cook meals. In short, she has no problem taking care of herself.

Even if there are no problems, they are getting old and still need someone to take care of them in certain ways.

Things like tidying up the house and taking a shower are usually done by Meng Shulan when she's around.

When Meng Jiu, Meng Qi, and Lin Qingquan saw that she had changed the subject, they no longer suspected Tang and finished the bowl in a few gulps, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Just drink it, this soup is really good.

But if Meng Shulan found out that snake meat was added to the soup, she wouldn't even drink it; she'd probably throw you far away immediately.

She's afraid of snakes. Even if you tell her it's a snake that's about to transform into a dragon, so the snake meat is equivalent to dragon meat, she absolutely won't touch it.

"This stuff is delicious, but there's too little of it."

The little demon's core was only the size of an egg. Even if Meng Jiu sliced ​​it very thinly, there would only be that many. Each of the four people would get two or three slices, and that would be it.

"Dad, what did you cook this time? It doesn't look like chicken gizzards, but why did it melt in my mouth after only a couple of chews?"

As Meng Shulan spoke, she carefully felt it, and after swallowing it, she felt a subtle gas moving around in her body. Her heart skipped a beat, but when she tried to find it again, it was gone.

Huh?
Was it just my imagination?
Lin Qingquan also noticed something was wrong. He felt his wound was itchier, like the feeling after healing and scabbing, when new flesh grows and the scab is about to fall off.

This demon core.
"Xiao Qi killed a demon today, and this is the demon's core."

Meng Jiu didn't intend to hide anything from her daughter and told her everything that had happened that morning. At the end, she told her, "Be careful in the future, and don't go out every now and then. I reckon something bad is going to happen."

A demon has entered the village?
Meng Shulan frowned slightly, recalling when she and Qingge were at Sanqing Mountain, Qingge had pointed to the ground and said there was a demon.

Having suffered setbacks before, some retreated underground to heal their wounds, while others conserved their energy and observed the world.

But no matter which one it is, perhaps one day they will emerge.

Has it come out yet?
That shouldn't be the case. Qingge is right there; she would know if a demon appeared.

She was injured and no longer had the ability to go underground and pull them out, but she still had the ability to kill them outside.

"What did you think of?"

Seeing that Meng Shulan seemed to be deep in thought after hearing about the demon, Lin Qingquan asked with some confusion, "Besides the pig demon from five years ago, have you encountered any other demons?"

Meng Shulan snapped out of her daze, glanced at Lin Qingquan, and said indifferently, "None of your business!" Lin Qingquan choked, quickly picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in her bowl, saying ingratiatingly, "Although I only have one arm now, it's still no problem for me to deal with ordinary monsters. I also know a little about formations, so we can set one up in the courtyard after we eat to increase our safety."

Meng Shulan knew he understood formations, but Qingge had told her, saying that the formation her family had set up was very simple. So Lin Qingquan's claim of having a "basic understanding" was probably true.

Over the past five years, she and Xiao Qi have also learned a bit from Qing Ge. However, one of them lacks talent, and the other is too young to be interested in martial arts. Their understanding of formations is only superficial, so they almost drove Yu Xiannu crazy while learning.

Lin Qingquan had some knowledge, but the mother and daughter probably hadn't even scratched the surface.

"Okay, after you finish setting it up, tell us about it so we can take a look."

The Jade Fairy's formation is profound and mysterious, difficult to understand. I wonder how Lin Qingquan's is, and whether the two of them can understand it.

Seeing his wife's interest, Lin Qingquan was instantly energized, quickly finishing his meal and heading off to prepare the food.

Are you two still getting a divorce?

The sudden remark made Meng Shulan and Lin Qingquan pause, and they both looked up at Meng Qi who had asked the question.

"No, Mom and Dad will never get divorced."

Lin Qingquan looked at his daughter and said firmly, "We will give you a complete family and we will be there for you as you grow up. Dad loves Mom and you love me, and we will never leave you two."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Meng Shulan, whose head was slightly lowered and whose expression was somewhat embarrassed.

"Fine, if we don't want to divorce, then we don't. I won't lose out."

The little girl pushed her rice bowl aside, stood up, and said, "Meng Zichen said my mom will definitely divorce Lao Lin when she comes back, but Ziyang said no. They made a bet: ten packs of spicy strips and ten bottles of cola. Since my grandpa didn't kick Lao Lin out, I bet on Ziyang. So Meng Zichen now owes us twenty packs of spicy strips and twenty bottles of cola. I'm going to find Ziyang now and tell him to remember this, so he has to pay it back when Meng Zichen comes back."

Lin Qingquan & Meng Shulan:
By the time they realized what was happening, the little girl had already vanished in a flash.

Meng Jiu strode to the kitchen door and called out, "Eating too much spicy strips isn't good for you, let's get something else. Xiao Qi, have Da Gouzi get you some Want Want snacks."

Lin Qingquan & Meng Shulan:
The two exchanged a slightly awkward glance.

Meng Shulan hesitated, "How about..."

"No, don't even think about it. We can only have one certificate in our lives, and that's our marriage certificate!"

Meng Shulan was still struggling with the decision, "But spicy strips are unhealthy, I really can't eat them."

Lin Qingquan:
He wiped his face, stood up helplessly, and said, "I'll go find a book on formations. I'll explain it to you when I have some free time."

On the other side, Meng Qi found Meng Ziyang, and the two strolled towards the east of the village.

"My mom said that Dahuang got beaten up."

Meng Ziyang's eyes widened. "Did it provoke you again?"

Meng Qi gave him an idiotic look, "If I had hit it, would I still be looking at it now?"

Oh right.

Meng Ziyang understood, and then asked in surprise, "Besides you, who else in our village would dare to touch Dahuang?"

Despite their short legs, the two little ones walked quite fast, and in no time they arrived at the door of Yun Laosan's house.

"Wang"

With a bark, a huge creature suddenly leaped out of the yard.
See you tomorrow!
