The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious.

A famous dish in Hunan Province, it is made with chicken and snake, and added with chili peppers. It is fresh, tender, fragrant and spicy.

The iron pot is boiling hot, and a big spoonful of white lard slides into the pot.

Stab!

The fat melts in the pot and makes a sizzling sound.

Put the red pepper, ginger slices and Sichuan peppercorns into hot oil. The oil will add a spiciness. Next, stir-fry Doubanjiang and Laoganma until fragrant.

Wait until all the seasonings are fully sauteed by the lard.

Li Hongbing poured the snake meat, chicken, and bacon in the pot into the pot, stir-frying it up and down with a shovel, so that each piece of meat was fully integrated with the seasoning fat.

Suddenly, the place was filled with a strong aroma.

Suck!

The silly boy sucked back the saliva that flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Others were attracted by the tangy aroma and gathered around the fire pit.

People in the forest are not particular about cooking, as long as it can fill their stomachs. They are reluctant to add oil or seasonings. Those like Li Hongbing are so prodigal. A spoonful of lard weighs almost half a catty and the seasonings are poured in bags. Not to mention the dishes produced this way.

Fried meat, even fried diapers are delicious.

“It smells so good!”

Xu Dalang, who was lying on the thatched bed, was attracted by the aroma, his nose trembled, and he opened his eyes.

I saw a group of gentlemen gathered in a circle, and the aroma came from inside the circle.

Dog said.

Don’t call me when you eat delicious food.

Xu Dalang was so angry that he jumped three feet high. His waist and legs no longer hurt. He found a gap and squeezed in. He saw Brother Li standing in front of the iron pot waving the spatula, and his meat was shiny red.

The spicy and numb smell of the pieces is so tempting.

"Dalang, wake up." Shawa lowered his head and saw Xu Dalang crowded beside him, and asked honestly.

At this time, Xu Dalang ignored the awkward title and shouted to Li Hongbing, "Brother Li, when will dinner be served?"

"It'll be ready soon. Youcai will go and get some rice."

"Okay!"

Youcai picked up two wooden sticks and pulled out the ashes in the fire pit. Under the thick ashes was a black iron can. Don't insert the wooden sticks into the can and lift it up with your hands on both sides.

Open the lid and the fragrant rice is steamed.

Li Hongbing rolled his eyes, dipped the spatula in some soup, put it into his mouth and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction in the expectant eyes of everyone.

"Get a bowl and eat."

As a guest, Xu Dalang naturally enjoys the treatment of the guest of honor.

A large bowl of dragon and phoenix meat was handed to his hand. Xu Dalang had never been so eager to taste its taste.

Pick up a piece of snake meat and put it into your mouth.

Taste buds are instantly ignited.

The snake meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the heat is just right, making it spicy and delicious.

The chicken is firm and chewy, the meat is fragrant and delicious,

The soup is salty, spicy, delicious, and very satisfying. When mixed with rice, you can't stop eating it after one mouthful.

After all, Xu Dalang is also a handsome young man in Mingzhu City. He flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, eats things he is allowed to eat, and eats things he is not allowed to eat. But this is the first time in his life that he has encountered such a delicious dish.

"It's so late!" Xu Dalang looked like a starved ghost reincarnated, holding a bowl and feasting, not forgetting to give a thumbs up to Li Hongbing.

Others were not polite when they saw this and started eating one after another.

After a while, a large pot full of dragons and phoenixes came to the bottom.

Xu Dalang didn't let go of the spicy and fragrant soup left. He gave half of it to Silly Wa, mixed it with rice and ate two more bowls.

With the remaining oil at the bottom of the pot, Li Hongbing added half a pot of water, put in his own vegetables, and each person poured a large bowl of vegetable soup.

It was difficult for all of them to walk with their stomachs full, and even the little wolfhounds were so full of food that they lay on the grass bunk and refused to move.

"Uncle Red Soldier, with your skills, it would be a shame not to be a cook." Da Kui lit up his pipe and smoked a dry cigarette leisurely.

Hearing this, Xu Dalang immediately became excited and struggled to hold up his stomach.

"That's right, Brother Li, I'll invest in opening a private restaurant in Mingzhu, and you'll be in charge, and the money earned will be divided 55 between us."

Li Hongbing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Dalang, I'm retired and living a quiet life. I don't want to bother you."

Nonsense!

"Where do you want to retire? Are you 60 years old? Just be a good person!"

Xu Dalang rolled his eyes back, "Li Hongbing, like a dog, lives in the mountains, bullying men and women, using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a mat, fighting with landlords when he has nothing to do, don't live a happy life.

You two are rolling your eyes at each other, and I’m rolling my eyes at you.

If you scold me, I will reply.

Dakui and the others sat aside and watched the two bickering with smiles.

Boom!

There was a bang of thunder outside the diwozi, followed by the sound of heavy raindrops.

Dakui got up and opened the door, looked outside, with a slightly sad look on his face, returned to the fire pit and added some firewood to it, "The rain is a bit heavy, I don't know if it can stop tomorrow morning."

Raining in virgin forests is very dangerous. The fog can make mountain runners lose their direction. Heavy rainfall can easily cause disasters such as mudslides, landslides, and floods.

Thinking that there are still four people who don't know whether they are alive or dead in the deep mountains, the lively atmosphere in the underground cave becomes much more solemn.

"Everyone, go to sleep. I'll keep watch." Dakui stirred up the burning wood to make the flames bigger.

Li Hongbing waved his hand, "I'd better keep vigil, Dakui is getting older."

Others asked to stay vigil one after another, but they were all stopped by Li Hongbing. From the moment he walked into the mountain, his heart of nature became particularly active, making Li Hongbing feel extremely comfortable, as if the forest was his home.

Perhaps this is why druids became children of nature.

Early morning.

The heavy rain continued to fall outside the nest, the burning firewood made a crackling sound, and the snoring of the straw floor came and went.

Li Hongbing sat by the fire pit, with Dahua and the others lying beside his legs, accompanying him. Li Hongbing opened his senses to feel the breath of nature while quietly enjoying this quiet moment.

The past slowly flows in the light of the fire, and the resentment hidden in my heart towards my ex-wife also burns with the firewood and turns into ashes.

"Master, I'm done sleeping. You go and take a nap." The blind man walked softly to the fire pit.

When Dahua heard the noise, she raised her head and glanced at the blind man, then continued to lie down and stare.

"It's okay, just keep going... Hey!" Li Hongbing didn't see any fatigue on his face. Instead, he was full of energy and urged the blind man to go back and continue to rest. However, in the middle of his words, he suddenly looked in the direction of the wooden door.

"Is there something?" The blind man grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist. Although he was wearing sunglasses, Li Hongbing could feel the vigilance in his eyes.

"It's okay, there are some poor little guys, I'll go out for a while."

It was raining heavily outside the den. Li Hongbing refused to go with the little wolfhounds and rushed into the woods alone in the rain.

The blind man stood helplessly at the door. Although his eyesight was not good over the years, he had developed a pair of keen ears. He could sense good and evil just by talking to others. But when facing the Red Soldier, these ears could not afford it.

It works, but I always feel that the Red Soldier is mysterious and unpredictable. According to the words in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he is an expert.

Soon.

Li Hongbing ran back to the den soaked all over. He was bent over and seemed to be holding something in his arms. The little wolfhounds hurriedly gathered around him. They smelled the smell of strange animals and whined.

The older you get, the shorter your sleep time becomes and you can't stand the slightest movement.

Dakui sat up alertly and saw the wet Li Hongbing beside the fire pit, as well as the little wolfdogs milling around. He couldn't help but feel curious, put on his coat and walked to the fire pit.

"Uncle Red Soldier, what did you catch?"

"Look!" Li Hongbing smiled and opened the clothes in his arms.

Hiss!

Dakui took a breath and exclaimed.

"Uncle Hongbing, you went to poke the honey doghouse, why did you bring all the pups back?"
