Shi Wu said to Xuan Haoran and his wife: "Don't go back either. I have already agreed with Xiao Zhuzi in front of me and asked him to bring Erdan and Uncle Youxian to have a simple meal. When the food is ready, I will let Xiao Zhuzi go over and call Yu Qiu and the others."

Xuan Haoran was not polite to Shi Wu. He agreed, "Okay."

Shi Wu first took Xuan Haoran and the others to the backyard. He didn't want to let Xuan Haoran and his wife sit on the stone bench in the middle of winter. So he used his spiritual power to control things and brought a round table and nine chairs from the hall.

Xuan Haoran sat down and said, "I originally wanted to wait for you to help you cook, but it seems that I don't need it."

Shi Wu asked: "Is there any market in Xuanlin Village during the New Year?"

Xuan Haoran replied: "It was put on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month."

Shi Wu said happily: "Then wait and wait and buy some ingredients with me and help me negotiate the price."

Xuan Haoran smiled and said, "You are all immortals and you still have to bargain? Shouldn't you just wave your hand and turn a bunch of gold and silver? I heard that you used gold to buy things in the village in front of you."

Shi Wu took out the dragon-shaped gold medal with only half left and said, "I didn't use magic to deceive the villagers. This is real gold."

Xuan Haoran took it over and weighed it in his hand, bit it with his teeth, and he confirmed: "It's really gold. Can this be used in the fairy world?"

Shi Wu shook his head and said, "This is what I have obtained in the mortal world. I have never seen anyone use gold in the outer hidden world."

Xuan Haoran said a pity: "Those immortals don't know anything. It's just that I'm old, otherwise I'll ask you to help me pay attention to whether there are any mountains of gold and silver in the fairy world."

Shi Wu knew that Xuan Haoran was joking, so he pulled Xuan Haoran and said, "Okay, I'll let you use this gold today. You can buy whatever you want. I'll be responsible for picking up the goods for you."

Xuan Haoran picked up the dragon-shaped gold medal with half left and said, "Then I'm not polite."

"Wait." Shi Wu called Xuan Hao and went to Ada's house. He took out two cloth bags and a square box from the house. He put the things on the table and said, "Yinyin, this box contains tea, you can cook it when you want to drink it. These two bags are the roasted goods I bought a while ago, including melon seeds, peanuts, and broad beans. You can chat while eating snacks."

Seeing that Shi Wu was going to buy vegetables, Lin Jiaqiu didn't forget to take out these snacks before she saw that she was about to go shopping for vegetables. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yin Yin and I will not treat ourselves badly."

Shi Wu also smiled and said, "That's good."

After Shi Wu and Xuan Haoran left, Lin Jiaqiu said to Xia Yinyin: "Miss Yinyin, Xiao Wu really treats you as his own."

Xia Yinyin whispered shyly: "I didn't treat Brother Shi as an outsider either."

As the Chinese New Year approaches, villagers from Xuanlin Village set up various stalls at the junction of the two villages, which stretched to the main road of the two villages.

By the time Shi Wu and Xuan Haoran passed by, there were already people gathered here. From firecrackers to bacon and cotton coats to food, there was a wide range of things.

Xuan Haoran took Shi Wu to a stall selling live poultry and fresh meat.

The stall owner said enthusiastically as soon as he saw Xuan Haoran and Shi Wu: "Uncle Haoran, Shi Xianren, what are you going to come?"

Xuan Haoran pointed to the black chicken in the cage on the ground and said, "Xiao Kui, please pick a fatter one for you Uncle Haoran to stew the soup."

"Okay!" After Xuan Kui selected, he grabbed a black chicken and hooked the rope tied with the black chicken's feet and said, "Uncle Haoran, five pounds and two pounds, you can give me four pounds of silver if you count five pounds."

Xuan Haoran touched the big deer legs and the cut deer steak on the stall again. He pinched the blood stains on his hands and put them in front of his nose and smelled them: "Xiao Kui, this deer was killed last night."

"Well, Uncle Haoran is still so eye-catching." Xuan Kui said in admiration.

Xuan Haoran said with pleasure: "Uncle Haoran is old. Please help me cut a large piece of the meridian from this deer leg."

Xuan Kui picked up the meat-cutting knife on the stall and cut a whole piece of venison as Xuan Haoran ordered. After weighing it, he saw that the venison weighed six pounds, and he said, "Uncle Haoran, there are ten taels of silver in total."

Xuan Haoran told Shi Wu: "Xiao Wu, help me get a few taels of gold."

Xuan Kui thought that one or two golds would be worth at least ten taels of silver, but wouldn’t that three taels of gold cost thirty taels of silver? He hurriedly said, “Uncle Haoran, it’s not possible. The extra part of this venison is my filial piety to you.”

Xuan Haoran smiled and said, "Uncle Haoran cannot take advantage of your juniors. In addition to paying for meat, you can help us kill the black chicken and find me five taels of silver."

When Xuan Kui heard that he had made more money, he felt uneasy: "Uncle, you have given too much."

Xuan Haoran handed over a few taels of gold and said, "Don't push and give it to you with uncle. It's so embarrassing. We have to buy other dishes. When we come here to get it, the chicken feathers must be plucked clean."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will clean up the black chicken." Xuan Kui took the gold and handed over five taels of silver.

Xuan Haoran nodded and took Shi Wu to a stall elsewhere. They walked around and did not forget to buy a candy person one by one and eat while walking, just like two old children.

"Xiao Wu, you are 79 years old this year. You have to buy these firecrackers. Xiao Yu, I'll give Uncle Haoran six strings of long firecrackers and sixty firecrackers, which are very loud."

"Xiao Wu, there is no need to lose yam in this black chicken soup. Let's buy two thick ones."

"Xiao Wu, this sea bass was just brought back in the morning. Let's have two, one at noon and one at night."

...

When Shi Wu and Xuan Haoran returned to Lintao Pavilion, Xuan Youxian, who was already sitting in the backyard basking in the sun, was surprised and said, "How many things have you bought?"

Shi Wu and Xuan Haoran said in unison: "You must be happy on your birthday."

Xuan Youxian was also amused by them and said, "Okay."

Shi Wu put six strings of long firecrackers and sixty firecrackers in the corner and went to the kitchen to work hard.

Originally, Xuan Haoran wanted to help, but when he saw Shi Wu, he cleaned up all the ingredients he bought. He said, "The immortal method is really convenient." He sat down with Xuan Youxian and the others to eat melon seeds and drink tea.

Shi Wu was afraid that Xuan Haoran and the others would be hungry, so he simply took out a three-eyed spirit gathering pot and used spiritual power to separate the spirit gathering pot from the middle, and then used two-way use. He made smoked and roasted venison and stewed yam and black chicken soup.

The three-eyed fire-eyed beast did not reject Shi Wu's move at all because it knew that this kind of life its owner yearned for.

Half past Si, Shiwu brought the last steamed sea bass dish and then brought nine dishes on the round table, namely yam black chicken soup, secret sauce big bones, smoked and roasted venison, golden shredded eight-treasure rice, Chinese toon eggs, ground three freshness, braised eggplant, and fried peanuts.

Xuan Youxian waited for Shi Wu to sit down and said to Xuan Yuqiu: "Yuqiu, pour you Uncle Shi one bowl first, and then pour it one by one for elders."

Xuan Yuqiu stood up as he spoke. After he poured Shi Wu, he only poured half a bowl for Xuan Youxian with a proper measure. Then he poured the wine bowls for Xuan Haoran and Erdan.

Xuan Yuqiu was about to stop, but Lin Jiaqiu and the three women all signaled him to pour half a bowl.

Seeing Xuanzhu's expectation, Shi Wu said to Xuan Yuqiu: "Yuqiu, please help Xiaozhuzi come together."

"Thank you, Grandpa Shi, thank you for Uncle Qiu." Xuan Zhu said happily.

Shi Wu and Xuan met Qiu and poured his bowl. He raised the bowl and said, "I am really happy to be able to gather with you when I was 79 years old. Today everyone eats and drinks openly!"

After Shi Wu finished speaking, he drank half a bowl first, and everyone also took a big gulp.

Shi Wu smiled and said to Xuan Haoran: "Try it quickly and see how I crafted it."

Xuan Haoran picked up a piece of smoked venison first. After he bite it, the crispy texture of the venison and the gravy wrapped inside bloomed perfectly in Xuan Haoran's mouth. Xuan Haoran praised repeatedly: "Xiao Wu, you are more delicious than what Uncle Lintao made!"

Erdan put a big piece of sauce bone for Xuanzhu, and he said to Xuanzhu: "This dish is your grandfather and I used to like to eat the most, so you can try it too."

Xuanzhu first bit a small piece from the edge of the big bone. The fresh, fragrant and spicy sauce and the big bone meat cooked until tender made Xuanzhu full of saliva and said, "Grandpa, this big bone sauce is really delicious!"

After saying that, Xuan Zhu didn't care about his appearance and directly grabbed the big bones with his hands and chewed them.

Xia Yinyin and the others also tasted the dishes on the table separately. From the speed of their chopsticks, it can be seen that they were very sure of Shi Wu's cooking skills.
