After the martial arts apprentices dispersed, the two rough-handed old women also quickly cleaned the martial arts training ground, wiped the wooden dummies, weapon racks, and towel racks, and poured out all the sewage in the basin.

After that, he said hello to Jason and Doubao and left.

Although there is a lot of work for three yuan a month in a mountain city, there are not many part-time jobs that allow such free time.

The two old ladies naturally cherished it very much.

After closing the door of the martial arts hall, Doubao walked into the small warehouse next to the kitchen in the backyard, picked out a good-quality ginseng and started making soup.

Dinner was already in the afternoon, and the bean buns were ready.

Nowadays, bean buns are made as a midnight snack.

When Jason asked if there was a midnight snack, Doubao remembered it and made it every day, especially the ginseng sent by Li Deshang. Although it was of an average vintage, it was only tree ginseng, but it was paired with astragalus, polygonatum, and wolfberry.

There really is nothing better than making soup.

This is how her mother makes soup for her father every day.

Never stops.

However, the meat ingredients of the soup will change.

Needless to say, today is beef bones and beef.

Dinner is also beef offal soup and sesame seed cakes.

There are hundreds of sesame cakes made by two old women with strong hands.

A palm-sized sesame cake would be enough for most people. There were only two coolies on the dock, but Jason ate them all and wiped the pot with the remaining half of the cake.

The corners of Doubao's mouth turned up.

She just liked the way Jason was eating.

Especially, she cooked the food.

The beef bones were removed one by one, and some of the beef also changed color quickly in the boiling soup. After adding a batch of firewood, Doubao wiped his sweat, closed the pot lid, picked up the boiling kettle and walked out.

kitchen.

That's what making soup is.

As long as the ingredients are placed and the fire is sufficient, the rest is time.

At this time, Jason, who had eaten comfortably, was sitting at the small table.

There is a teapot and two large bowls on the table.

Open the lid of the pot and pour hot water into the bean bag.

Suddenly, the fragrance hits your nose.

It has the floral fragrance of jasmine and the sweetness of oolong, and the fragrance of green tea is even more permeating.

"I bought these at the Wuguan Street corner. It cost a penny for a big bag."

"In the past, when there were few apprentices, drinking water was fine. Now that there are more people, we still have to make tea."

Doubao said.

Apprentices who come to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts don't care about food, but they do care about tea, especially when they sweat profusely during practice and in the afternoon, their mouths are really dry.

It's really good to drink a cup of tea and moisten your throat.

In the past, Mu Shi martial arts studios simply provided water.

Now there are more people and the reputation has increased.

Plain water will definitely not work, at least it must be tea.

Then high school is a pretty good choice.

As for the best option?

Naturally it is herbal tea.

It not only quenches thirst and relieves internal heat, but is also suitable for the local climate.

However, making herbal tea takes too much effort. You have to hire someone to make it. Doubao is a bit reluctant to spend that money.

After all, the owner of her restaurant is so delicious.

Not to mention other things, the two cows today ate forty yuan.

Although she has plenty of money now, with her restaurant owner's stomach, if she doesn't save a little, she can eat up all the gold and silver, so it's better to save a little.

After all, he is just an apprentice, not a disciple.

A big bowl of tea is not bad either.

Jason also felt good while drinking this big bowl of tea.

"Next time we use a big teapot."

Jason suggested.

"Okay, I'm going to find two big tea jars when I'm done. When I was in Beidu, I saw many people drinking like this."

Doubao smiled and nodded.

"Doubao, have you ever been to Beidu?"

Jason was surprised. Although he had not asked the origin of Doubao in detail, he remembered that Doubao should have come from the other side of the state capital, which was still far away from Beidu.

"When I was young, my parents took me to Beidu to visit their friends, all of them fierce old men."

"However, Beidu's roast duck, bean juice, braised and roasted, stir-fried liver, fried tripe, door-nail meat cakes, sesame sauce cakes, almond tofu, yellow peas, donkey rolling, and noodle tea are delicious."

"It's a pity that I wanted to go after this. My parents said that their good friends and their whole family had died due to the plague, and there was nothing left to go to."

Doubao's face was full of disappointment.

"Roast duck?"

"When we have a chance, let's go together."

Jason said.

"Really?"

Doubao looked at Jason in surprise, and Jason nodded with certainty.

"real."

This is the truth in the truest sense. After Jason's reputation gained from the main mission has exceeded 200, it has become very difficult to increase it. It has obviously reached a bottleneck.

If you want to break through this bottleneck, you naturally need a bigger stage.

Only when his reputation spreads to the state capital, the northern capital, the capital of Shu and other places can he achieve a breakthrough.

It is obviously unrealistic to want to spread your reputation while staying in a mountain city.

Unless something earth-shattering happens.

It was definitely not because he heard Doubao talking about Beidu's roast duck, bean juice, braised and roasted, fried liver, fried tripe, door-nail meat cakes, sesame sauce pancakes, almond tofu, pea yellow, donkey rolling, and delicious noodle tea that he came up with the idea.

Hearing Jason's promise, Doubao was so excited that his eyes became crooked when he laughed.

She looked at Jason as if she was back to the way they were when they first met on the streets of the mountain city.

'Are you hungry?'

'This sesame seed cake is for you.'

'Would you like some water?'

'Don't you have enough money on you?'

'I'll give you my coat.'

'They bullied you?'

'I'll help you.'

The owner's eyes are always so clear, just like before, without any distracting thoughts.

As bright as a star.

The closer she got, the more radiant she could feel.

When walking towards the owner of his own hall, it is like running towards the stars and the sea.

Jason was keenly aware that something was wrong with Doubao's eyes, and he coughed lightly.

"This is for you."

Jason handed Doubao the six-pellet bottle of 'Pei Yuan Dan' that he had left before, and, without waiting for Doubao to speak, continued: "Training 'muscles' is only the beginning of a warrior, and it's not bad in a mountain city.

But it’s still not possible to leave the mountain city. At least the ‘muscles’ are fully developed so that you can have some ability to protect yourself.”

"Um."

Doubao nodded, swallowed his words of rejection, and took the porcelain bottle.
