An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"oops!"

Xu Fu sat up suddenly, breathing heavily.

"It turned out to be a dream!" Xu Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's strange, how could I sleep here and have such a bizarre dream? I actually dreamed that a red lump fell from the sky and killed Huang Youcai's cow, and I also ate the beef. It was so ridiculous.

Xu Fu looked around and found that he was in a big pit with a pile of bones beside him.

Why is this happening?

Could the dream be true?

Did you really eat the Huang Youcai family’s cow?

Xu Fu felt dizzy and felt like he was about to fall over at any moment. However, a burst of abdominal pain came like a tide, making it impossible for him to escape reality for the time being.

"Did you have a bad stomach?" Xu Fu covered his stomach and got up.

He was the only one in the forest, and he had nothing to worry about. He was just about to deal with it on the spot. When he got up, he pressed him against a hard object and pricked Xu Fu's hand.

"What is this?" Xu Fu didn't feel like a stone. When he grabbed it, he saw that it was the red bump that killed the cow. However, the red color had faded and turned into black. Except for the size, the appearance was the same as that in the dream. The alchemy furnace can be said to be exactly the same.

The alchemy furnace was only about the size of a thumb, and looked like a strange gourd made of iron. It also had three tiny legs, which looked quite delicate.

"Why did it get smaller?"

Xu Fu didn't have the time to think about it. His stomach was really hurting so much that he didn't care. He took off his pants and squatted in the pit to pull them up.

After half a stick of incense, Xu Fu climbed out of the pit, took a few deep breaths, grabbed a few handfuls of weeds and put them into the pit to cover the large pool of filth, and then hurriedly ran away.

"It stinks! It stinks more than a cattle pen. You can't pull so many in a year!" Xu Fu sighed, but at this time he felt light and comfortable all over, and yesterday's fatigue was wiped away.

Xu Fu finally calmed down at this time, pondering what happened last night while playing with the small alchemy furnace in his hand.

"Are you the one from yesterday? Or are you the cub from the older one yesterday?" Xu Fu was amused by his own words, and then he laughed and said: "You're just a cub, eat hard and grow up quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the alchemy furnace flashed with blue light and suddenly grew to a foot tall.

"Ghost!"

Xu Fu was startled, dropped the alchemy furnace as if it was hot, and ran to the side. After running a hundred steps, he turned back and found that there was no movement behind him. He plucked up the courage and walked back slowly, unwillingly. Seeing that The alchemy furnace was lying on the ground. He cursed himself as a "coward", then picked it up carefully and looked at it carefully.

At this time, the alchemy furnace was now a little bigger than his hand. It was still green-black and looked like iron, but it was much lighter than iron. It was engraved with strange patterns from top to bottom, divided into two layers. All have lids that can be opened.

"This, can it be used as a hand stove if you put charcoal on it?" Xu Fu suddenly thought of a use in surprise.

Landlord Huang Youcai had a black pottery hand stove, which he held in his arms all day long when winter came. Xu Fu, who had frostbite on his hands, was very envious. He had never thought that he would have his own hand stove so soon.

"But how can we hide it?" Xu Fu began to worry again. If he took it back like this, he would definitely be snatched away by Huang Dafu and his thugs. Huang Dafu is famous for his love of grabbing things. As long as he sees other people's things, he doesn't care, just grab them first.

"By the way, don't you know how to change? Come on, change into a small one!" As soon as Xu Fu finished speaking, the alchemy furnace in his hand flashed with green light and instantly became the size of a thumb.

"Haha... I found a treasure." Xu Fu lifted it up and kissed it hard, shouting: "Come again, big!" The alchemy furnace changed again.

Xu Fu played for a while, tying the smaller alchemy furnace and the Immortality Card together. It looked a bit awkward, but there was no other good way. The holes in his pockets were bigger than the alchemy furnace, so he couldn't fit it in. live.

There is nowhere to go, you still have to go back. Although Xu Fu walked slowly along the way, his head turned quickly. He knew very well that if he told the truth, no one would believe it. No one would believe it anyway, so he might as well just tell the truth, as long as he didn't admit that he had eaten beef. , may not be able to escape this disaster.

"It's not good! It's not good!" Seeing that he was almost at the entrance of the village, Xu Fu took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, shouted, and stumbled towards Huang Youcai.

"Xu Gou, aren't you looking for the cow? Where is the cow?" Huang Dafu happened to be climbing on the wall to play. He was the first to see Xu Fu running from a distance and asked angrily.

Because there is a word "福" in Xu Fu's name, Huang Dafu is very dissatisfied. He often finds trouble and never calls Xu Fu by his name. He always calls him "Xu Gou" instead. Xu Fuquan treated it like a dog barking and ignored it at all.

"No, the cow was eaten by monsters!" Xu Fu said panting, pretending to be frightened.

"Monster... Ouch!"

Hearing a scream, Huang Dafu was so frightened that he fell off the wall and fell to the ground, covering his arms and crying.

"What's wrong with Dafu?" Huang Youcai heard his son's cry and hurriedly came out of the back room. Seeing this situation, he was also shocked. He quickly called the housekeeper to find the doctor and ordered the servants to carry Huang Dafu into the house first.

Everyone was busy, and Xu Fuli was so happy that no one paid attention to him. He sneaked back to the room next to the cowshed and climbed into his own rickety old wooden bed.

This house was converted into an old cowshed. It was low and damp, and the smell of mold, feet, and cow dung mixed together to make it disgusting. But in such a small place, six cowherd boys were squeezed into it, and it was a loss. There are too many people, otherwise you will freeze to death in winter.

Xu Fu touched the alchemy furnace hanging around his neck, thinking about the warm feeling of holding it in winter, and felt happy.

"Xu Fu, the master calls you."

Xu Fu was lying on the bed and almost fell asleep. He heard someone shouting outside. He quickly got up and left the shack. After calming down his nervousness, he followed a servant and entered Huang's house through a small door. Big house.

Xu Fu had only entered this house on the first day he came to Huang's house. It was also the most magnificent place he had ever seen. At that time, he secretly swore that he would work hard to save money in the future to buy a house as big and as beautiful! Later, after listening to the adults chatting, I realized that even if I lived in the Huang family for ten years without eating or drinking, I would never be able to afford such a big house.

"Master, please bring it here." The servant stood at the door and reported, then stood aside with his head lowered.

Xu Fu saw the door curtain move and Huang Youcai walked out.

Speaking of Huang Youcai, in Xu Fu's eyes at first, he was a very kind and wealthy man. He always looked amiable and amiable. His round and chubby face rarely showed any anger. His eyes were not big and they would squint together when he smiled.

Xu Fu used to love seeing Huang Youcai smile. It wasn't until after his grandmother passed away that he asked the housekeeper to drive him out of the house with a group of servants and forced him to draw signs with that familiar smile. Xu Fu didn't see the man's face clearly.

"Xiao Xu is here."

As soon as Huang Youcai left the house, a servant brought a chair. He still had that harmless smile on his face and said politely.

"I've seen Mr. Huang." Xu Fu bowed his head and saluted. This is the rule of the Huang family. From the first day he entered the Huang family, someone taught him what to do when he saw Mr. Huang. This is called "No one is allowed under the eaves." Don’t bow your head.”

"Master, what does this person look like?" A rather pretty young concubine stood behind Huang Youcai, suddenly covering her nose and saying coquettishly.

Huang Youcai also wrinkled his nose. Butler Niu Ba didn't wait for Huang Youcai's instructions. He held his breath, stepped forward quickly, and ordered Xu Fu to stand back a lot.

"You said that my scalper was eaten by a monster." Huang Youcai took the tea brought by the servant, took a sip, and asked softly: "Did you see it?"

"Yes." Xu Fu responded, feeling that his heart was almost beating out of his chest.

"What does the monster look like?" Huang Youcai asked.

"The monster was more than ten feet tall. It was red all over and had fangs in its mouth. It bit the cow in two in one bite." Xu Fu replied vividly. No one saw it anyway, so he could just make up whatever nonsense he wanted.

"Nonsense!" Steward Niu on the side couldn't stand listening anymore and shouted sternly: "I've never heard of such a monster, why did you encounter it?"

"I don't know. Is it a coincidence?" Xu Fu was startled by the scolding, and replied in a low voice with a panic look on his face.

"When will Niu Zhuang come back?" Huang Youcai asked the housekeeper.

"Dad, I'm back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man shouted outside the door. Everyone looked over and saw a tall, slightly fat boy leading a few cowherd boys and being stopped by the servants at the door.

"Let them in!" Huang Youcai ordered. Outsiders who want to enter this house must get Huang Youcai's approval. Even the housekeeper's son cannot come in or out at will.

"Hello, Mr. Huang!" The young man named Niu Zhuang was quite tall, but he still had a childlike look on his face. He bowed respectfully as soon as he entered the door.

As soon as the young man walked to Xu Fu, everyone in the courtyard smelled a strong stench. The concubine simply hid in the house. Huang Youcai also picked up the tea and didn't put it down, as if he wanted to use the fragrance of tea to block the trouble. The smell.

"What's the matter with you?" Niu Ba looked a little confused and hurriedly stepped forward and asked sharply.

"Dad, didn't I listen to you and go look for cows in the forest over there? I don't know who dug a big manure pit there and blocked it with hay. I slipped down without paying attention..." Niu Zhuangyue He spoke softer and softer, and before he could finish the last sentence, Niu Ba slapped him hard in the face.

"Trash!" Niu Ba hated that iron could not make steel. He was originally a servant of the Huang family, but was later hired by Huang Youcai because his surname was Niu. He hoped that his son would take over his duties, so he arranged a casual job for him as a cowshed steward and asked him to play with Huang Dafu more. Who knows? Arranging such a small thing for him can make him look embarrassed.

"Did you find the cow?" Huang Youcai asked, holding back the stench.

"I only saw some bones and internal organs in the manure pit, but all the meat was gone." Niu Zhuang lowered his head and replied.

"Go and wash up first!"

When Huang Youcai heard that his beloved Niu was really dead, he felt very uncomfortable. The smile on his face disappeared. He drank to get rid of Niu Zhuang, and then looked at Xu Fu beside him and frowned slightly.

"Master, what do you think of this?" Niu Ba came forward and whispered a few words in Huang Youcai's ear. Huang Youcai nodded slightly, then got up and returned to the house.

"Xu Fu, let me ask you again, do you eat Mr. Huang's cow?" The steward walked up to Xu Fu and asked sharply.

"No!" Xu Fu said firmly.

"Okay, so you haven't eaten since last night. It's almost noon now. I'll treat you to a full meal!" After Niu Ba finished speaking, he called Xu Fu and walked towards the backyard.

Xu Fu followed all the way around the big house in the middle, passed through two more doors, and entered a corner of the house.

There was a very spacious room in the corner. The window was open at this time, and the sound of clinking pots and bowls mixed with the aroma of vegetables wafted out.

"Old Wang, get thirty steamed buns." Niu Ba shouted loudly.

"Okay!" A gruff response came from the room.

Not long after, three fist-sized buns were placed on a long table in front of the house, pretending to be a plate.

"If you can eat these steamed buns, it proves that the cow is not for you. If you can't eat it, then you will wait to work in Mr. Huang's house for the rest of your life!" Niu Ba said fiercely.

"Is there no food?" Xu Fu looked at the steaming steamed buns and was not in a hurry to get started. He had eaten so much meat last night and was not hungry yet, so he planned to hang out with this arrogant butler for a while.

"Want food? Okay, eat as much as you can. Old Wang, watch him and let him eat as much as he can!" After the butler finished giving instructions, he glared at Xu Fu, turned around and walked out the door.

"Give!"

Lao Wang is the person in charge of the kitchen, and he rarely sees messes on weekdays. Xu Fu's current appearance makes Lao Wang want to hide ten feet away, but the housekeeper has already spoken, Lao Wang has no choice but to hold back his nausea and bring Xu Fu a bowl A big plate of freshly fried green vegetables and tofu. As soon as I put down the plate, I immediately ran back to the kitchen.

Xu Fu looked at the food in front of him and sighed in his heart: "It would be great if I could take it away!" Think about what a pleasant life it would be if you could have steamed buns to eat when you wake up hungry every night!

"If you can't take it away, eat more!" Xu Fu made up his mind not to suffer a loss, so he grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It tastes so good!" Xu Fu wasn't very hungry at first, but once he started eating, he couldn't stop eating. I just ate five or six steamed buns and all the food was gone.

"Old Wang, add more food!"

It was rare for the housekeeper to open his mouth and let him eat as he pleased, and Xu Fu started shouting.

Lao Wang didn't come out, but a young man who was a few years older than Xu Fu came out with two plates of food in his hands. Xu Fu recognized that this man was Lao Wang's son, and everyone called him Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang was a handyman in the kitchen, not much older than Xu Fu. He often told these hungry cowherd boys about the delicacies he had eaten, and he would not stop until everyone was so greedy that they drooled.

This time he brought two large plates of food, one of which actually had a meaty taste, which made Xu Fu's eyes light up. This dish is even more delicious than the steamed buns, since it can be eaten open...

Two steamed buns were eaten, and two plates of food were eaten thoroughly.

"Add food!"

……

Xu Fu had one steamed bun and one dish. At the end of the meal, Lao Wang had to hurry up and cook while he was eating. The table in front of Xu Fu was quickly filled with empty plates, and the oily soup at the bottom of the plate was used by Xu Fu Wiped it clean, as if it had been washed.

Seeing that there were two steamed buns left but the food had not arrived, Xu Fu knocked on the table and asked, "Where are the food?"

"There's no food left!" Lao Wang's voice came from the window, but he didn't show up.

"I have no food to go." Xu Fu stuffed the remaining two steamed buns into his arms. Without waiting for Lao Wang's answer, he stood up and walked out. After going out, he went straight back to the shack.

After returning to the shack, Xu Fu stuffed the buns under Goudan's pillow and climbed into his bed.

Lying on the bed, Xu Fu touched his belly carefully, filled with questions. I ate half a cow last time, and this time I ate so many steamed buns and vegetables. It was so strange that my stomach could hold it all, and I didn’t even feel full! But Lao Wang’s craftsmanship is really good and the dishes he cooks are delicious.

After eating so much, I felt a little sleepy when I lay on the bed. Everyone in the house went out to herd cattle and would not come back for a while, so no one happened to disturb me.

Xu Fu was taking a nap on the bed, but he didn't know that the Huang family's chef had already had a falling out.
