Chapter 145 Tidying Up the New Home
By the time Li Qin finished eating the roast duck, Fei Niao had already recorded the roast duck preparation method, sauce recipe, and so on.
In other words, from now on, Li Qin can finally enjoy Peking duck freely.
After Li Qin had eaten and drunk his fill and obtained the roast duck recipe he wanted, he left Quanjude with great satisfaction.
As for the roast duck and duck bone soup, Li Qin devoured them all.
In fact, given his appetite, Li Qin could easily eat even a few more roast ducks.
But that would be too cloying.
After finishing his meal, Li Qin went to several nearby recycling stations and a trust store to buy some small items.
These can all be placed in the house; they are all things that can be used.
By the time Li Qin returned to the courtyard house carrying large and small bags, the sun had already begun to set in the west.
As Li Qin passed through the front yard, he unsurprisingly encountered Yan Bugui again.
When Yan Bugui saw that Li Qin was carrying so many things, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Li, you've bought quite a lot of things again."
Yan Bugui's gaze kept sweeping over the bags of various sizes in Li Qin's hands.
Even without opening it, Yan Bugui could roughly guess what was inside the bag just by looking at its outline.
After Yan Bugui had examined all the items, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
He discovered that in Li Qin's bag, besides some small utensils, there were also grains, vegetables, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other items.
Most importantly, there was a prepared wild rabbit being carried separately outside the bag.
The wild rabbits looked very plump, which made Yan Bugui's heart itch with desire.
Although Yan Bugui felt that Li Qin was actually a big problem now, and that getting involved with him might cause significant issues in the future.
But at this moment, the instinct to calculate overcame the worries in his heart;
Suddenly, a warm smile appeared on Yan Bugui's face:
"Xiao Li, you're moving to a new house today. There are some customs associated with moving. It's not enough to just move in. According to tradition, you need to invite people over for a meal to celebrate and bring good luck to the new home."
Li Qin could tell from the look in Yan Bugui's eyes as he looked at the wild rabbit that the other party must have some ulterior motives.
Now, hearing Yan Bugui's words, he was even more certain.
However, he did not interrupt the other person, but let them continue.
Seeing that Li Qin did not show any displeasure, Yan Bugui's eyes flashed with joy, and he continued speaking;
"How about I bring my family along later to warm up your house?"
"Don't worry, Uncle San didn't come empty-handed. I'll bring you some potatoes later, and we'll stew them with your wild rabbit. Then we'll have some drinks to celebrate."
After listening to Yan Bugui's words, Li Qin looked him up and down with a strange gaze, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle, but no need. After all, it's a new era and I don't care about these things."
Besides, I'm exhausted from moving today. I just want to make myself something to eat and get some rest, since I have to go to work early tomorrow morning.
After saying that, he ignored Yan Bugui's reaction and walked past him towards the Intermediate People's Court.
However, as Li Qin walked past Yan Bugui, he deliberately waved the wild rabbit in front of him.
Yan Bugui's eyes were immediately drawn to it.
His face was full of longing and envy.
Yan Bugui wanted to say something more, but Li Qin didn't give him the chance.
Li Qin quickly crossed the front yard and entered the middle yard.
Meanwhile, there were quite a few people in the courtyard of the Intermediate Court.
When these people saw Li Qin, or more precisely, what Li Qin was holding, their eyes flashed with complex emotions.
However, Li Qin ignored these people.
They went straight to the backyard.
He glanced at his own door and found that it was exactly the same as when he left.
It seems that, just as he had predicted, no one had entered his house while he was away.
Li Qin first placed the items into the house or the kitchen.
Considering that stewing rabbit takes some time, Li Qin simply processed the rabbit first and then put it in the pot to stew.
As for the cooking process, although he was in the kitchen, he mostly just went through the motions.
In fact, he still accomplishes these things using the magic of life.
After the rice was steaming and the rabbit meat was simmering over low heat, he returned to the house.
He planned to use this time to make the bed in the bedroom.
Of course, these were still accomplished through magic.
Now that he had mastered a more convenient method, Li Qin naturally wouldn't leave it unused.
"We still need to cover it up a bit."
After tidying up the bedroom, Li Qin took one last look at the old furniture in the house.
Since they are all old furniture, there are bound to be some scratches, dirt and other things on them.
He planned to use a repair spell to fix it a little.
Of course, Li Qin wouldn't restore them all to their original condition; instead, he would remove the dirt from the furniture and make it clean.
At the same time, we will repair some of the more obvious areas.
He could have done these things with a wave of his hand, but after a little thought, Li Qin still carried a bucket to the central courtyard pool to fetch water several times.
In addition to storing water for cooking in the kitchen, some water was also stored in the washroom.
It's convenient for him to use regularly.
In fact, he could also directly summon clear water using the "Spring Water" spell.
But if he never draws any water, yet always has an inexhaustible supply, that would be too strange.
Therefore, in order to conceal his extraordinary power, he would occasionally go to the central courtyard to fetch water, just like a normal person.
It's just like going to the toilet.
Previously, Li Qin mostly relieved himself in the planting space, but now that he lives in the backyard, he needs to install a toilet.
Although many things have become more complicated, Li Qin is able to accept it.
Since you've chosen to live in a courtyard house, there are some things you need to be aware of.
This can be considered the price to pay for collecting emotional power.
The residents of the middle courtyard and the back courtyard didn't think much of it when they saw Li Qin going to the middle courtyard to fetch water multiple times.
On the contrary, I think it's perfectly normal.
Because the other residents are in the same situation.
After completing the disguise, Li Qin stood in the living room and cast a cleaning spell on the entire house.
As an invisible force swept across the entire room;
Whether it's the furniture or other items in the room, or the floor, walls, or even some corners and crevices.
All the dirt, dust and other grime were cleaned up completely.
Then Li Qin used a restoration spell on the old furniture in the room.
However, considering that he bought second-hand furniture, he only repaired some of the more unsightly or unusable parts.
After completing these tasks, his house was completely transformed.
Li Qin also showed a satisfied smile at this moment.
"Next, I can visit the nearby used bookstores or recycling centers to collect some books to add to my study."
Since a study room had been specially set aside, Li Qin naturally wouldn't just leave it empty and unused.
