Chapter 395 Chai Jin: Am I Going to Die? [Seeking Monthly Votes]

"This chicken feet is absolutely amazing!"

On the high-speed train, Li Yu ate the various braised snacks packed from Lin Ji, and found that the dishes blessed by the chef system were delicious.

Especially this tiger skin chicken feet, which is said to be the earliest braised dish launched by Lin Ji Food. It has been popular for a long time and sold out every day.

Zhou Ruotong wore disposable gloves, carefully opened a rabbit head, and ate the dense rabbit brain:

"Fortunately, I don't stay in Beijing often, otherwise I will definitely get fat."

Li Yu pinched a piece of boneless duck feet and fed it to Tong Baobao's mouth:

"You still have a vest line now, so you don't have to worry about your figure at all."

While eating, the phone next to him rang.

When he saw that it was his mother calling, he quickly took off his gloves and chose to answer:

"Mom, we haven't arrived in Baoding yet, you can't wait?"

Zhang Ping had just replaced all the bedding at home with new ones, and also bought a lot of daily necessities... Even if you only stay for one night, you can't make do, you must show the highest standards to receive your daughter-in-law.

She said to Li Yu:

"We wanted to eat at home, but your dad thought it was too noisy. If someone else smoked, the smell would not go away for a long time. So we booked a private room at the restaurant at the entrance of the community. We chose the dishes one by one... Do you really have the same taste as Tongtong? Are you lying to get free food and drinks?"

My dear mother, did you know that Professor Zhou was listening nearby, so you said this to please your daughter-in-law?

Li Yu spit the chicken bones in his mouth into the garbage bag, and then said:

"Indeed, Tongtong and I are a perfect match, and all our hobbies are exactly the same... By the way, in order to save face for you, she specially prepared gifts for all the relatives."

Hearing this, Zhang Ping hurriedly said:

"No need to prepare gifts, but the relatives here have to prepare gifts... You are the same child, if you don't stop it, Tongtong will spend money."

Li Yu smiled and said:

"Just take it... Your daughter-in-law wants to say a few words, you two can chat, I'll go get a cup of hot water."

Li Yu handed the phone to Professor Zhou, then took out the thermos cup given by his father-in-law, and poured the Biluochun given by Zhou Bingshan into the tea compartment, first washed the tea leaves with some hot water, poured it out and refilled it with water, and the fragrance of tea immediately spread.

"Tsk, the professor's tea is really different!"

He returned to his seat with the teacup. Zhou Ruotong was still talking to Zhang Ping, smiling, as if they were mother and daughter, and he was just a son-in-law.

Alas, Professor Zhou can always pull people to her side, so amazing, fortunately we are in the same group.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yu handed over the teacup:

"Have a cup of tea to relieve the greasiness, and there will be a big dinner in the evening. I have eaten delicious food for the past few days, and I am tired of it."

Zhou Ruotong drank a sip of tea, nodded and said:

"Go back and eat vegetarian food for a while. When I finish arranging the work at hand, I will take Xiaochan out to play, and you stay at home and do business obediently."

"Don't worry, besides doing business, I miss you."

Fortunately, the Queen's household registration has not been completed, otherwise these three people will all leave, then won't we be alone?

He put on disposable gloves again, turned his depression into appetite, and continued to eat the snacks prepared by Lin Xu.

Zhou Ruotong drank two sips of tea, turned on the tablet and started studying.

The whole carriage was very quiet.

At a little after four o'clock in the afternoon, the young couple arrived at the provincial capital East Station, pulled their suitcases to the exit, and met their father Li Jianxin and mother Zhang Ping who were waiting here.

The couple wore new clothes, carried two cups of milk tea, and held a bouquet of flowers, looking very solemn.

When Zhou Ruotong walked out of the gate, Zhang Ping hurriedly sent the flowers over:

"Welcome Tongtong to my home, I don't know what flowers you like, I randomly matched them, I hope you don't dislike it."

You can even grow peach trees in the underworld, don't you understand flowers?

Li Yu complained about his mother and was about to take a sip of the milk tea when Zhang Ping snatched it away:

"This is for Tongtong and me. Go drink boiled water when you get in the car. How can a grown man drink this!"

Li Yu: "..."

In Beijing, I am a very polite son-in-law to all my relatives. But when I return to my own home, I am not a good person at home... Did Tongbao and I get the wrong baby?

When he arrived at the parking lot, Li Yu saw his Camry, which was washed and shiny.

My father has been frugal all his life and has always adhered to the principle of fuel-saving and durable when buying cars. Li Yu suggested buying a new car more than once, but my father refused on the grounds that he was used to driving it.

After putting away the suitcase, Li Yu opened the car door and found that the car was spotless:

"Oh, you washed it inside too?"

"At noon, your father spent more than 500 yuan to hire someone to wash it. He had saved all his life. When he heard that he was going to pick up his daughter-in-law, he directly chose the most expensive package and watched the whole process, fearing that it would not be washed clean."

When Zhou Ruotong heard this, he hurriedly thanked him:

"Thank you, uncle, for your trouble."

"It's so polite to say that. Let's go home."

After getting in the car, Li Jianxin drove the family away from the high-speed rail station and came to a clean community near the convention and exhibition center.

Back then, this place was still a wheat field, and it couldn't be sold at a few thousand per square meter, but Lao Li, who was in the design institute, seized the opportunity and bought a 150-square-meter four-bedroom apartment. Now the price per square meter has risen to more than 20,000, which is considered a bargain.

When he arrived home, Li Yu looked at the brand new bedding and furniture in his room and felt like he had walked into the wrong room:

"You are too grand, aren't you?"

Zhang Ping said unhappily:

"If you do it yourself, it will still be the same old thing in ten years, but Tongtong will naturally have to get a new one."

Okay, you guys can have a kiss as a family, and I won’t bother you.

Li Yu came to the spacious balcony and saw the peach branch planted in a flowerpot.

Different from the shriveled ones last time, the peach branch now has two or three branches, and the longest one has five or six leaves.

According to this growth rate, by the time of transplanting in autumn and winter, the prototype of a small tree will have grown... Mom is really a gardening expert who was delayed by the dentist!

After looking at the little peach tree, he went to see the clay sculpture made by his mother and placed it nicely in the couple's room.

In order to avoid attracting dust, the old couple even bought a display cabinet for figures and put two clay sculptures in the cabinet. They were very delicate!

Li Yu came to his father's computer and looked at the design drawings of the Human Race Sage Pavilion.

The overall style of the Xianxian Hall is the architectural style of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but some architectural details of the Qin and Han Dynasties are added. The decoration is mainly red and black, which not only reflects the grandeur of the Xianxian Hall, but also implies the mainstream colors.

As for the statues inside, they include a series of human sages such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Zhu Rong Gonggong, Hou Yi Shooting the Sun, etc.

After Li Yu read it, he thought the renderings were very good, so he asked his father to take the time to prepare the construction drawings and courier them to Yinzhou.

Once the drawings are obtained, Zi Shou is asked to break ground in Chaoge City and start building the Human Race Sage Pavilion.

The world of gods does not require much technological equipment. The group of gods alone can handle everything.

After reading the drawings, Zhou Ruotong opened his suitcase and took out the gifts he bought for his parents-in-law.

What was given to Zhang Ping was a Hermès bag, a scarf made of gold brocade, shoes and cosmetics, etc. It was all very complete, and Zhang Ping was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

As for Li Jianxin, he has a top-notch laptop with commonly used design software installed. He also has a Montblanc commemorative pen with a 24K gold nib to distinguish it from his relatives’ Parker Century.

Zhou Bingren also asked his daughter to give a purple clay teapot made by Gu Jingzhou. When he saw the price on the appraisal book, Lao Li's hands shook and he almost lost his grip:

"This...is this too expensive?"

"Just keep it. My dad said that when he is not busy during the summer vacation, he will go to Yinzhou to stay for a few days and then meet you and talk in detail."

"Okay, okay, it would be great if the in-laws can come. We would like to give you a warm welcome. We haven't taken off the annual vacation yet, so we will go to a B&B for a few days together."

Li Yu took some tea and asked Lao Li:

"Would you like to try this purple clay teapot against the Tieguanyin teapot?"

Old Li glared:

"Using such an expensive teapot to make tea? Isn't that a waste of money? Change it quickly. The relatives are coming soon. Don't let them wait too long."

Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong went back to their room, changed their clothes, and left the house with the gifts prepared for everyone.

When walking out of the unit building, Zhou Ruotong took the initiative to hold her mother-in-law's arm. Zhang Ping was so happy that she lost her way. She walked around the community for a long time before going out. Everyone praised her for finding a good daughter-in-law.

I came to a well-known restaurant in the provincial capital outside the community. As soon as I entered the private room, several relatives came.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when everyone arrived, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

Zhou Ruotong took out gifts and distributed them to everyone, which made all the relatives extremely happy. They kept praising Li Yu for his vision, exaggerating Ping's good fortune, and praising Lao Li for educating such a promising child like Li Yu.

When the dishes were served, Lao Li opened two bottles of Moutai that he had treasured for many years and shared them with his relatives.

If you are happy today, naturally you have to drink the best wine.

After everyone had finished drinking and eating, Zhang Ping took Zhou Ruotong's hand and said:

"I just checked the price and found out that the pen cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the scarf is not cheap either, it's too expensive..."

Zhou Ruotong said:

"We are not around. If we need help with anything, our relatives can at least help."

"Okay, listen to Tongtong. When you get home, I'll boil you some peach gum to replenish your qi and blood."

Back upstairs, the family sat in the living room and chatted for a while. After drinking the peach gum stewed by Zhang Ping, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, after having a hearty breakfast at home, Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong went to the high-speed rail station and took the bus back to Yinzhou, successfully ending their trip to visit relatives.

Arriving at Yinzhou High-speed Railway Station, Wu Song, who came to pick him up, asked:

"When is Brother Li going to get engaged?"

"It's coming soon, it should be before the Mid-Autumn Festival...Is everything okay here?"

"Everything is normal, everyone is fine. Marquis Wen has joined Li Yan and arrived in Chang'an. Xun You is organizing troops to prepare for the attack on Hedong. Chang'an City has begun to promote the use of coal stoves and briquettes."

Wu Song started his X5 and introduced the current situation of each world in the book while driving.

The Three Kingdoms side has already mobilized troops to prepare for the attack on Hedong. It is said that the advance reconnaissance troops have already set off, and preliminary hydrological surveys have been carried out in the area where the pontoon bridge is to be laid.

The water level of the Yellow River has dropped significantly recently, making it easier to build floating bridges.

It is said that the Hedong side is also actively preparing for war. Zuoxian Wang Yufuluo and Bai Bo's army have robbed a lot of people's food and are still recruiting troops everywhere. It seems that they are going to fight the imperial army to the end.

Water Margin said that over at Yue Shijie, Liu Bei, under the banner of Fan Xingping, had taken back all the counties under the jurisdiction of Zhending Mansion, and was holding a grievance meeting, preparing to uncover the bullies who had done evil in the city.

When the people returned home, they organized people to dig canals, build roads, and carry out infrastructure construction through work-for-relief methods.

The spies from Qilin Village will also go deep into Handan City to prepare for the subsequent capture of the city.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the pass behind Fengming Village has been under construction. After it is completed, the entire Fengming Village will not only be impregnable, but also have tens of thousands of acres of arable land, and will definitely be self-sufficient.

In the Fengshen World, the autumn harvest is completely over, and the planting of winter wheat is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In order to pursue merit, more and more immortals joined the Shang Dynasty as officials. Wen Zhong also specially found a few upright immortals to serve as inspectors, responsible for assessing the performance of officials in various places during their terms of office.

Once there is an act of breaking the law and harming the people, they will be immediately demoted to commoners and investigated according to law.

With this assessment measure, officials from all over the country have become honest and self-disciplined, and try every means to do good things for the people.

The car turned onto the ring road, and Li Yu asked Wu Song:

"Has the ordered floating bridge arrived?"

"It has arrived, and the speedboats and speedboats have all been delivered. I saw someone selling water cannons, so I bought a few. If they are useful, I can use them in the water fort in the future."

A water cannon is a high-speed water pump that can shoot high-pressure water jets hundreds of meters away. It is very powerful. When encountering a navy, a sweep can overturn the opponent's small wooden boat.

Li Yu said:

"We can find someone to make it for us later, and it will be even more powerful."

When we got off the car at the B&B, Mu Guiying ran over to greet us enthusiastically:

"Sister Zhou, you have worked hard on the car. Little Cicada Fairy and I caught a pot of crabs and will welcome you at noon!"

"Okay, thank you Guiying!"

After moving the suitcase upstairs, Li Yu looked around upstairs and downstairs and found that Gou Zi was not there. After checking the surveillance, he found that this guy had gone to Longqi Mountain again.

I'll have to interrogate her when I come back later, asking her why I don't have a system... Li Yu came to the back door of the warehouse and saw piles of floating bridges on the ground. He felt that the battle in Hedong was stable.

However, there were so many equipments for only three floating bridges. If we move to a place with a larger water area, we may need more materials to build floating bridges.

Li Yu looked through the list of materials and confirmed that there was nothing missing, so she was relieved.

Back upstairs in the B&B, she saw Diao Chan wearing casual shorts and a T-shirt, studying high school knowledge in the study.

"Why don't you relax after the exam? Why do you start studying again?"

"Le Le said that if you learn high school knowledge in advance, you may be able to go to college in advance, so I want to try it, graduate early, and help the teacher work early."

Why do you make me sound like a shameless capitalist?

Li Yu said:

"Don't be so anxious. Even if you finish high school knowledge in advance, you still have to take the college entrance examination... Is the Le Le you are talking about going to college in advance?"

"Yes, she was admitted to Tsinghua University's smart class and did not take the college entrance examination."

Li Yu: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

My goodness, will top students attract each other?

The little girl went to Beijing to see the world for two days, and she actually met a top student who was recommended to Tsinghua University, and he was also a student in the smart class known for his high IQ. I am convinced!

Diao Chan tilted her head and asked:

"Sir, if I am recommended in the future, do you think I should choose Tsinghua or Peking University?"

I gave up thinking about this question in the third grade of elementary school... Li Yu thought that the head of the family should answer it. I am just a second-tier scumbag, so I should not show up here.

"Ask your sister Zhou later, she should know how to choose. I don't have this ability, so I won't give any opinions... What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."

"Crabs, all the crabs we caught are fried. Some classmates will come to take photos in Hanfu later, and I have to entertain everyone."

Li Yu agreed and left the study.

As soon as he went out, Mu Guiying pounced on him and hung on Li Yu like an octopus again.

But this time, she made a new discovery:

"Hey? Why aren't your legs weak?"

"I've been exercising frequently recently, and my physical fitness has increased... Did your sister Zhou go to work?"

"Yes, she drove your car away and said she would be back at lunch. I heard that Xiaochan Fairy's classmates were coming to play, and she asked you to cook a few more dishes that girls like."

Looking at the girl's hopeful eyes, Li Yu smiled and asked:

"I'll start cooking now, or you can help me taste the dishes to check?"

"Ha, I knew you were unsure, come on, let me help you!"

At noon, Diao Chan entertained the classmates who came to the homestay in a small private room. Everyone wore Hanfu and took a lot of photos. Now they are eating while flipping through the album, preparing to pick out the good-looking ones to post on the social platform.

Li Yu placed a plate of cola chicken wings and a plate of cherry meat on the dining table and said to the girls:

"Eat more, tell us what else you want to eat, we have everything in our B&B."

After leaving the room, he asked Mu Guiying:

"How are the chicken wings?"

"Perfect, super delicious!"

While everyone was enjoying a delicious lunch, in the Water Margin Yue Fei world, at the Chai Family Manor in Cangzhou, a lively banquet was also going on.

"Brother Shi and Taoist Qiao have come from afar, so I'd like to drink first to show my respect!"

Chai Jin held a jade wine bowl with a gold rim and drank two taels of high-proof liquor.

Since the last farewell in Cangzhou, good news from Qilin Village has been coming.

Eliminating Zengtou City, making a big fuss in Tokyo City, removing the Cross Slope, burning Happy Forest, defeating the Liangshan Army, and seizing Zhending Prefecture by wisdom... one by one, Chai Jin was so excited that he wanted to take off his brocade robe and fight with everyone.

After three rounds of drinking, Chai Jin dismissed his attendants and lowered his voice to ask Shi Xiu and Qiao Daoqing:

"You two came in such a hurry, could it be that the emperor's uncle wants to call you for something?"

Qiao Daoqing nodded:

"There is indeed something that requires you to go to Zhending Prefecture... Since Mr. Chai is interested in the Intelligence Department, are you willing to join?"

"Yes, I am very willing. I didn't expect that Xiaoyi and others are so powerful. Brother Shi Xiu must have had fun killing people with them, right?"

Shi Xiu smiled:

"This time I want to recruit you to join the Intelligence Department, go undercover in the Liao Dynasty together, and do something over there... Is Mr. Chai willing?"

Chai Jin became more excited when he heard it:

"I couldn't ask for more. How about we set off tomorrow?"

Qiao Daoqing took a bite of food and put it into his mouth, and said slowly:

"No, we have to wait first."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait until you die!"
