Chapter 1 New Year

"Uncle, cut two pounds of meat filling, don't be too thin, add some fat."

Chen Bai glanced at the meat cut into pieces on the chopping board, quickly identified the types, pointed to one of the large black and gold-filled pieces and said:

"Is this...the hind legs of the purple star beast?"

"You have good eyesight, Xiaobai." The boss with a coarse cloth scarf praised at the top of his voice, looking very familiar with Chen Bai:

"The hind legs of the purple star beast, cut the filling for two pounds?"

"Yes, Uncle Liu, please chop it up."

"All of them are old neighbors. Is Uncle Liu a errand?"

Uncle Liu, who sells meat, takes his hand and his kitchen knife is powerful. This old butcher shop that has been open to the community for many years mostly doesn’t like machine grinding stuffing, and believes that “the meat stuffing that is rubbed out by hand is delicious.”

In less than half a minute, Uncle Liu cut two pounds of purple star beast meat and put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Chen Bai:

"Happy New Year, Xiaobai."

Chen Bai took it and grinned:

"Please, please."

Uncle Liu sighed in his heart as he took out his cell phone to transfer money to him.

The market price of Zixing Beast meat is 80 yuan per pound, which is more nutritious than traditional pork and beef, but who doesn’t make some meat containing high-end energy and fat when making dumplings during the New Year?

Life is not easy, but it is even more difficult for minors living alone.

Uncle Liu weighed his belly, which was wider than a bucket, secretly took it under the chopping board, took out a red thing and threw it into the plastic bag in Chen Bai's hand.

Chen Bai was stunned and glanced at the thing that Uncle Liu threw to him.

It looks blood-red, but has a very light white bean-shaped pattern. Even with raw meat, you can smell the faint fragrance floating in the air.

This is the front breast of AoShouyan Wolf. It is a cost-effective meat with extremely balanced price and nutritional content. It is already one of the high-quality nutritious foods commonly eaten by the middle class.

Price, 1,200 yuan per kilogram!

Chen Bai pursed his lips and was about to speak, but Uncle Liu whispered nervously:

"Xiaobai, your Uncle Liu's house runs a butcher shop. The price of this beast meat is not as high as the market price... You haven't gotten this high-energy food in a long time, right? Today, I will take it back to make dumplings..."

"Hey, Lao Liu, what are you doing?"

At this moment, a roar came over, attracting the attention of people shopping in the market.

This Hedong lion roar came from a middle-aged woman with a waist thicker than a bucket and a fleshy face. Uncle Liu is already tall and strong enough. What a good guy, she actually looks even more fierce than Uncle Liu!

Uncle Liu subconsciously shrank his neck and said flatteringly:

"Wife, look at you, you're so angry again. You should be calm during the New Year..."

"Get out, let's play!" The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes wide and walked to Chen Bai's body. Uncle Liu was a little anxious and his voice increased a few degrees:

"What are you doing? Xiaobai's life is in a bad mood. Don't make things difficult for him..."

However, Uncle Liu's words came to an abrupt end. The middle-aged woman took out a piece of meat from the underside of the case and stuffed it into a white handbag, muttering with some displeasure:

"Xiaobai, you Uncle Liu is so big, Bai is so stingy. At your age, you are just when you want to replenish high-energy meat. This is the back of the Feituoziyu's head meat, so you can take it back to make soup."

Chen Bai was stunned for a moment. He knew that the back of the Feituo giant eagle was extremely precious and expensive. It not only contained huge spiritual energy, but also had the effect of calming the spirit and enlightening the purpose.

The price is 5,000 yuan per kilogram, which is difficult for people without "ways".

Such a small piece may be sold for a few thousand.

Chen Bairan quietly took care of the kindness of the middle-aged couple, thanked him heavily and went to the fruit shop next to him.

As expected, most shop owners would give him discounts openly and secretly. Amid the blessings of "Xiaobai, Happy New Year", Chen Bai returned home with a lot of New Year's goods.

In addition to being able to get such help, Chen Bai's poor life experience and an unattended minor, more importantly, his adoptive parents who were not long after his death were well-known. In addition, the two old men had special identities and were respected during their lifetime, so the merchants and neighbors deliberately helped Chen Bai.

The so-called "a family that accumulates good deeds will surely have good fortune" is nothing more than this.

Chen Bai returned home and rested for a while, then took out a mop and broom to start hygiene. Most boys of his age have problems with being sluggish, but Chen Bai meticulously cleans every corner without any confusion.

When he cleaned the three-bedroom apartment inside and out, it was already dark.

Chen Bai stretched his waist, took out the breast meat of the Ao Shouyan Wolf and the back of the Feituo Giant Eagle given by Uncle Liu and his wife just now, put the back of the head in the refrigerator to freeze, and then began to chop the front of the chestnut into pieces and cut it into filling.

Then knead the noodles, marinate the meat filling for a while, and then sit in front of the window to start making dumplings.

The rumbling sound of fireworks and firecrackers resounded throughout the night, and various fireworks smoked the night sky into colorful shapes, and the white faces flashed and dark.

More than an hour later, Chen Bai put the dumplings into the pot, turned on the TV, and randomly adjusted a TV station. Anyway, today is New Year's Eve, and the theme of each TV station is family reunion, and the fun party played was played, and there was no difference in watching anything.

With a puff, the steam rinsed the pores of the aluminum pot, and Chen Bai put out the dumplings made of Yanlang meat and placed them on the table.

Three plates were used.

In this way, he ate dumplings while watching the party on TV.

The spiritual energy contained in the Fiery Dog Beast is quite high-quality. For teenagers of the age of Chen Bai, it can effectively enhance the cell foundation and improve the life index over time.

However, Chen Bai did not savor it carefully. He just dipped the dumplings in soy sauce and vinegar and swallowed them all into his stomach.

The lights of thousands of homes outside the window were brightly lit and fireworks shone in the dark night. The boy in the room sat alone at the table and ate three plates of dumplings alone.

At this moment, on TV, the host of the party walked to the center of the stage and said affectionately in her gentle and clear voice:

"Now, the audience in front of the TV, on this happy New Year's Eve of reunion, please hold your family or lover's hands and tell them (they) that I love you..."

He paused and took a deep breath.

When he heard this a few years ago, he always felt embarrassed. If his adoptive father and mother happened to be by his side, he would even want to use his toes to cut out three bedrooms and one living room.

But tonight, he felt so sad and lonely.

The adoptive parents both died in March last year.

I became a person again.

Become an orphan again.

He silently finished three plates of dumplings, turned off the TV, washed the plates and steamer carefully, put on his pajamas and lay on the bed.

Although there is a habit of vigil on New Year’s Eve, if you are alone, you don’t need to pay so much attention.

Chen Bai silently passed on everything that happened today, especially those neighbors and vendors who generously donated to him, the friendship of timely help is extremely precious.

The grace of fighting rice must not be forgotten...

He just thought about it silently, gradually becoming sleepy and falling asleep in a daze.

...

I don’t know how long it took, Chen Bai suddenly felt light shining on his eyelids. He rubbed his face and opened his eyes, preparing to get up to make breakfast.

However, when Chen Bai stood up, he found that he was no longer in the familiar bedroom. There was no bed under him, but countless small light spots, which circled and gathered into various patterns, echoing in ancient times.

He rubbed his eyes and was stunned. When Chen Bai saw everything around him clearly, he found that what was hanging around was not a spot of Luo Shizi, but... a terrifying planet emitting eternal heat and power.
