After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Liu asked with a smile.

Seeing Qin Ruoyan's depressed expression in front of him, he also looked at Qin Ruoshuang next to him.

The other party is sister Qin Ruoyan, you should know something about it, right?

In this wilderness, Zhang Liu was not afraid of injury, danger, or difficulty.

He was most worried.

It’s the breakdown of the team’s mentality.

But now it's Anya first, and then Qin Ruoyan. This kind of thing gives Zhang Liu a headache.

"It will be Christmas in five days..." Qin Ruoyan sighed slightly, and then said with a smile: "It's just a pity that the Christmas gifts I prepared this year were in vain."

"Is it Christmas..." Zhang Liu nodded, his expression slightly confused.

He himself has no concept of Christmas. He will only pass the day when his two sisters bring gifts and then see the fully formed Christmas decorations outside.

So now that Qin Ruoyan mentioned it like this, Zhang Liu didn't know how to answer this sentence.

He could only nod in confusion, reluctantly showing that he understood.

Qin Ruoshuang glanced at her sister. After hearing about the special time on the 27th, she roughly understood what she was thinking.

"Let's do this. When we go back tomorrow, we will prepare Christmas gifts for you in the cave!" Su Yan stood up and pulled the wooden bow with three fingers to confirm the power arc of the upper and lower fingers and the changes in the bow body, and then She also said: "Everyone should have a share!"

After saying that, Su Yan also looked at Zhang Liu with a smile.

Her implication was very obvious.

Just plan to find a way to "compensate" the other party.

"Okay, then I have to prepare Christmas gifts!" After hearing Su Yan's words, Anya immediately became happy. She likes this kind of holiday ritual the most.

But after hearing that today was December 22nd, Anya suddenly sighed, and then whispered: "There are still nine days until the Chinese New Year."

"Ah? Isn't the Chinese New Year this year in January?" Zhang Liu was a little confused.

Qin Ruoshuang, Qin Ruoyan, and Su Yan also showed confused expressions.

"I'm from Japan... I haven't moved here yet, so I refer to the Gregorian calendar." Faced with the questioning looks of several people, Anya said innocently: "You must be celebrating the Lunar New Year, right?"

"Well... my family doesn't have any customs of celebrating the New Year..." Zhang Liu has no relatives at all, so he could only reply awkwardly to Anya's words: "I don't know what it's like to celebrate the New Year..."

Hearing Zhang Liu's words, Su Yan and Qin Ruoshuang felt a little distressed.

The two of them clenched their fists gently and swore in their hearts.

If he gets out of trouble, he must spend a good New Year with Zhang Liu!

From the New Year's Eve to the first day of the first lunar month... the fifth day of the lunar month, I stay with you in the room and never leave!

"Isn't your family coming to China?" Qin Ruoyan said in confusion: "Our generation doesn't have any problems, but the ideas of the previous generation are still very old-fashioned..."

Before she could say anything, she was frightened by Anya's flickering eyes.

"You...you...why are you looking at me like this..." She was confused, so Qin Ruoyan's voice was a little wavy when she asked.

"Didn't you say you wanted to stop the An family..." Anya looked at Qin Ruoyan, who had just made suggestions for her "safe return", and then whispered: "Why were you... helping me just now?"

When she said the last few words, her voice was already a little too low to be heard.

But at this moment, the surroundings were flat and no one was talking much. How could Qin Ruoyan not hear?

She raised her head and glanced at Zhang Liu, and said in a low voice: "An angry talk is just an angry talk, and things are things. Anyway, I will remember the kickback you received from Zhang Liu, and I will definitely come back to you to settle it in the future!"

Section 224 # Volume [-] A stable food source is the first step in development: Chapter [-] It is very convenient to do anything at home!

After saying the cruel words, Qin Ruoyan lowered her head and stopped talking.

She would not act like an idiot again in front of Zhang Liu.

However, Qin Ruoyan's move can be regarded as filling up a worry deep in Anya's heart.

At this moment, she was smiling very happily. After all, in Anya's opinion, if Qin Ruoyan really wanted to have a fight with the An family behind her.

Then she really wanted to cry with her mother.

Although it is said that strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes, compared with the Qin family behind Qin Ruoyan, there will be a conflict between the two sides.

The local snake wanted to hit it, and the strong dragon came out, and then the strong dragon pushed him to the ground and fucked him.

Soon the small clay pot where the mutton bone broth was simmering began to smell fragrant.

Everyone who was chatting stopped in unison and looked at the small clay basin with unanimous eyes.

"Let me share it." Qin Ruoyan looked at the "expectant eyes" of the men and women around her. She smiled and picked up the small clay bowl, used it instead of a spoon and started to scoop out the mutton rib soup that was still rolling in the small clay bowl.

Thirteen sheep ribs, Zhang Liu knocked them into two pieces of different sizes.

The total is 26 yuan.

There are ten pieces boiling in the soup pot, just enough for each person to have two pieces with soup and water.

Qin Ruoyan moved very quickly, and in less than a few minutes, five portions of broth of similar size had been distributed.

Then she took two thick branches to take the small clay pot off the fire, and took out all the lamb ribs that were skewered and placed them inside, so that the heat of the small clay pot could be used to provide insulation.

With the cross-cut semi-cylindrical bamboo bowl used as a eating container, everyone no longer has to hold the meat pieces and blow the wind like before.

"It feels a lot more convenient..."

Holding the bamboo bowl and carefully taking a sip of the slightly hot soup, Qin Ruoyan said with a smile.

Unlike the seaside caves where there are clam shells that serve as small soup bowls.

After arriving at the bamboo forest, because the only small bowl was always used by Zhang Liu alone, he ate separately with the two girls to avoid suspicion.

If she wanted to drink soup, she could only use two sticks to pick up the small clay pot from the fire and put it aside to cool down before drinking.

In this way, you will need to hold the basin with both hands when drinking soup, which will look awkward from the outside.

And after getting over the hurdle of wanting to drink soup.

In fact, drinking soup or not is not that important anymore.

But now, Qin Ruoyan realizes the "freedom of soup" where she can drink soup whenever she wants.

Suddenly I couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Chuckling..."

"Chuckling..."

"Ah..."

"Giggle..."

What answered her was the sounds of Zhang Liu and Anya drinking soup, Su Yan biting meat, and Qin Ruoshuang chewing the lamb ribs hard.

This is really a pleasant dinner atmosphere.

After dinner, Zhang Liu used the fresh water in the sheepskin bag to clean all the bamboo bowls.

Then Qin Ruoyan began to distribute the fresh bamboo leaves that everyone was looking forward to.

As a preferential treatment, Zhang Liu received the largest portion.

About one-fifth more than the other four girls.

In this regard, he was the only one who felt embarrassed. The other girls were very calm and showed no sign of protest.

Under Anya's advice, the five people, including Qin Ruoyan, took a small sip without adding water first.

"It doesn't taste as good as before..." With a bitter look on her face, Anya stuck out her tongue and protested in a low voice: "It tastes so strong..."

"The drink you just drank was still a bit hot, so the natural smell will be less. Now that it's cold, the pungent and bitter taste in it will settle down." Qin Ruoyan swallowed the bit of fresh bamboo juice she had been holding in her mouth with the tip of her tongue. Then he said to the girl next to him: "Try to use the tip of your tongue as the main tasting area later. If you want to swallow it, quickly swallow it under the base of your tongue and don't let the bitter taste buds exist."

"Well..." Looking at the bamboo bowl with only two or three mouthfuls left in confusion, Anya finally shook her head and said based on her own experience of drinking loquat syrup: "I'll mix the rest with water and drink it..."

"It tastes sweet but bitter inside. The smell is not overpowering, but it has a bit of fireworks." Compared to Anya's slight discomfort, Qin Ruoshuang showed off her talent belonging to the Qin family's medical bloodline. She used a series of professional terms to My own taste said: "It's very refreshing!"

"The taste is still very good." Zhang Liu savored the sweetness in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "I didn't know that you can use bamboo to boil sugar water to drink. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have to spend money to buy sugar."

"This is fresh bamboo juice, not sugar water!" Seeing Zhang Liu's expression, Qin Ruoyan said helplessly: "If you are cold, don't drink too much!"

She was worried that after she and her sister left, the new helper would be dragged by Zhang Liu to drink fresh bamboo juice together until he had diarrhea...

"I feel... there's no taste..."

Su Yan looked at the people who were communicating in front of her in confusion. Because she was a little nervous, she swallowed it directly.

At this moment, Su Yan looked at everyone blankly.

Why do everyone have so many comments to say after drinking?

Would you like some for yourself?

After thinking for a few seconds, she simply lowered her head and took another sip of fresh bamboo juice.

This time, I no longer swallowed it directly, but washed my mouth back and forth with "gulu, gulu", so I finally tasted some of the taste.

Sweet, but slightly bitter...

"It tastes really good..." Su Yan pursed her lips and spoke out her evaluation.

"Mix it with water and drink it. Drinking it directly can easily irritate the stomach." Qin Ruoyan put two hot stones into the sheepskin bag.

After the cold water inside was heated, she filled everyone's bamboo bowls without waiting for them to boil.

"Well, this way there is no bitter taste." He picked it up and took a sip again. Zhang Liu said with surprise on his face: "It's like sugar water with a little sugar added!"

"It tastes good!" Looking at the expression on Zhang Liu's face, Qin Ruoyan said with a smile: "I used to enjoy the hardships like this when I was carrying medicinal materials in the pharmacy."

"Carry medicinal materials in the pharmacy?" Anya asked from the side: "Why are you carrying that?"

"In order to inherit the Qin family, memorizing Chinese medicinal materials and prescriptions is one of the necessary procedures." Qin Ruoyan took a sip of her fresh bamboo juice, and then sighed slightly: "The taste is much worse than that time. ah!"

"It's really not easy for people from a big family like you." Zhang Liu sat next to him, his tone full of admiration.

"Only a big family like the Qin family will be tested." Su Yan sat next to him and whispered, "There is no such thing in my family."

She didn't know why she added this...

Su Yan just instinctively wanted to explain one thing to the boys around her, that is, her home was very convenient and there was no trouble...

Section 225 #Volume [-] A stable food source is the first step in development: Chapter [-] I have determined in my heart that I am a big woman...

"Oh! Sister, was that when you came out with a lot of weight?" Qin Ruoshuang, who was swallowing the last mouthful of fresh bamboo juice, suddenly said: "I remember you disappeared for two months during the summer vacation, and then you came back and gained weight... ugh Wuwuwu..."

She couldn't say what she said next.

Qin Ruoyan put down the bamboo bowl and rushed forward to cover her sister's mouth.

"I gained a little weight, just a little bit!" Looking at Zhang Liu and others with surprised expressions on their faces, Qin Ruoyan explained in a low voice: "Just a little bit, really!"

"Um..." Even Anya, who loves fighting, moved her butt back slightly at this moment, for fear that Qin Ruoyan would pounce on her and fight for her life. Then she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, just a little bit."

"Yeah!" Zhang Liu and Su Yan both nodded vigorously.

Express that you believe it very much.

"Really only a little bit!" Looking at the expressions of the three of them at this moment, Qin Ruoyan suddenly felt helpless.

I... really gained more than ten kilograms...

The days in the Chinese medicine dispensary were a kind of torture and a kind of joy for her who was only nine years old at the time.

Every day I have to memorize medicinal materials and proofread their properties.

In order to experience the effect, there was no food supply starting from the tenth day, and I had to rely on myself to find food from traditional Chinese medicine.

Because of this, Qin Ruoyan gained experience.

The most delicious thing is Codonopsis pilosula. Remove the outer fibrous part, and the yellow part inside is full of creamy flavor. Fresh Codonopsis pilosula can be eaten directly as a fruit.

The taste of fried malt is just like biscuits. They are all freshly fried to remove the dryness. Not to mention how crispy the taste is.

Under normal circumstances, red ginseng is steamed with second-grade ginseng and brown sugar, but given the Qin family's wealth, their own pharmacy uses high-quality ginseng even for red ginseng.

She, who is only nine years old, enjoys eating all kinds of good food.

As for drinks, there are even more choices.
