Early the next morning, Du Heng heard Xiaoxiao chirping in his ears, and he opened his eyes to look at the sky.It was foggy outside, he rubbed Xiaoxiao's head, Xiaoxiao urged Du Heng to make breakfast.Du Heng was already used to the way the little bird opened its mouth and flapped its wings at him. This is the standard way of begging for food from a big bird.

Du Heng stretched and got up, he saw a black dress on the low table at the head of the bed.I don't know when Xuan Yu came in, but Du Heng didn't notice it.

After getting dressed and leaving the room door, Du Heng found a guest at home.It was an old man with a white goatee and silver hair, like a learned scholar.He was sitting on the ground with Xuan Yu, and there were models of several houses in front of them.

Seeing Du Heng going out, the old man looked up at Du Heng.Seeing that the old man's eyes were golden, Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Good morning..." The old man quickly got up from the ground: "Hello, Mr. Du."

Du Heng was flattered, he quickly returned the gift and looked at Xuan Yu for help.What's the situation?Xuanyu greeted Du Heng: "This is Mr. Xia who is in charge of building our house. Come and see what kind of house you want to build."

Du Heng was stunned for a moment, is Xuan Yu's execution so strong?Yesterday it was said that the house was going to be rebuilt, but today it was called to the door?

Du Heng smiled at Mr. Xia: "Trouble Mr. Xia." It was freezing and snowy outside, and he asked the old man to go, but Xuanyu's asking price must not be low, otherwise Mr. Xia would not have shown up so early.

Mr. Xia bowed again and again: "Mr. Du is serious. Come and see, Mr. Du. Mr. Xuan said that he wants you to make up your mind. Take a look, you like that kind of house. If you decide, we can start construction." Du Heng looked at the ground For the architectural model, he thought of a modern sand table.These models are more exquisite than the sand tables of modern sales offices, and they are radiant and colorful, and each one is beautiful.

The houses Mr. Xia took out include a luxurious palace like Uncle Xiaoxiao’s, and a small courtyard like that of Dr. Jing Nan’s house.Seeing Du Heng sitting down and looking at it seriously, Mr. Xia took out more models from his storage bag, and put them all on the floor.

Du Heng took a fancy to a two-story house at a glance. This house has a yard. From the outside, it looks like a small courtyard near the water in the south of the Yangtze River with blue bricks and black tiles.

Xuan Yu said: "We will make whatever set you like." Du Heng said with a smile: "It's just the two of us, the house is too big to take care of." He pointed to the house with black bricks and black tiles: " Xuanyu, look, how is this house?"

Mr. Xia smiled and said: "Mr. Du has a good eye. This house and Doctor Jing's house were all made by the fairy Jinghong from the demon world. This house has good lighting. Although there are not many rooms, the rooms are warm in winter and summer in summer. It’s cool. And look at the side room next to it, which can store sundries. The courtyard can also be equipped with formations, so it’s very suitable for Mr. Xuan to deduce.”

Xuan Yu said in a deep voice: "Du Heng, you can make a decision." Du Heng smiled and said: "Then this one?"

Mr. Xia said happily: "Okay, I heard from Mr. Xuan that Mr. Du is a Taoist with food. Is it possible to decorate this side room on the east side as a kitchen for you? There have been no monks with cooking skills in the demon world for thousands of years. I will definitely give it to you." The layout is in place. What do you think?"

Du Heng was almost in a daze, did he enter the Tao with cooking skills?What the hell?He is just a little cook who likes to tinker with food, but he is also embarrassed to explain his old background to Mr. Xia.He nodded vaguely: "Okay, just do as you said."

He looked at the model carefully. There are five rooms on the first floor of this house. There are not many rooms upstairs, only three rooms, but there is a big terrace.Why did Du Heng take a fancy to this house at a glance?Because among all the classical houses, this house is most similar to modern Chinese villas.

As Mr. Xia spoke, the layout of the room slowly changed under his nose.The methods in the realm of comprehension made Du Heng unable to move his eyes away. After a while, an antique small building took shape in front of Du Heng's eyes.

Du Heng asked: "Xia Lao, if the construction starts, how long will it take to build it?" Xia Lao said: "Three hours." Du Heng:! ! !

Xia Lao saw the shock on Du Heng's face, he was afraid that Du Heng would misunderstand and quickly explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Du, I have been building various palaces in the demon world for more than 3000 years. Although the style of the house you want is simple, it needs to be added .Three hours is still needed, if it is done sooner, there will inevitably be omissions."

Du Heng: No, that's not the case. The house built in three hours is made of building blocks?

Du Heng didn't understand the steps of building a house in the demon world, so he got up and bowed: "Then please trouble Mr. Xia." Mr. Xia was flattered: "It should be."

While speaking, Jing Nan walked in: "Have you chosen?" Lao Xia's waist was almost bent to the ground, and he bowed long: "Doctor Jing!"

Du Heng greeted Jing Nan with a smile: "Good morning, Doctor Jing, how about this house?"

Old Xia's old face almost turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile: "I told Mr. Du just now that this house and your house are all made by Fairy Jinghong, both in terms of shape and charm." Jing Nan nodded: "Except for Jinghong's poor eyesight for men, the house he built is not bad. Anyway, I live very comfortably, especially this big window, which has a very good view after installing transparent glass."

Du Heng was flattered: "Xia Lao said it only takes three hours to complete." Jing Nan nodded: "Yes, it takes three hours. This house looks simple, but there are many formations inside. If it is less than three hours It's not safe to live here for an hour. By the way, Lao Xia, you can add a killing array to them, and if someone who doesn't have long eyes comes over, let him come and go."

Du Heng: ...things have exceeded his expectations, and he doesn't know what to say except laughing.

Xuanyu said: "If it is decided, we can start construction now." Du Heng hesitated: "Is it built here?" Xuanyu said: "Yes, it is at this location."

Mr. Xia said to Du Heng: "Mr. Du, don't worry, your house is handed over to us."

Du Heng has also seen what it is like for modern people to build a house, laying bricks on the foundation, and erecting beams on the building body... If you don't toss for a few months, the house will never be good.Under the eyes of the whole village, the house will be built little by little.

Du Heng watched Mr. Xia and Xuanyu from a distance by guarding his simple stove. He stacked the dough pieces neatly, and then cut them into trapezoidal palm-sized dough pieces.When he saw the house where he and Xuanyu lived were destroyed in an instant, he couldn't help sighing: "Wow——"

Jing Nan next to him also came out with a 'wow—', but what Jing Nan sighed was not the house, he pointed to the stuffing in the wooden basin and asked: "What is this?"

Du Heng said with a smile: "I saw pumpkin vines here, so I grabbed pumpkin vines and made stuffing." He wanted to make wontons. A very auspicious food.There is a tradition in Du Heng's hometown, to eat wontons on the summer solstice.

He loves the wontons stuffed with pumpkin and vines made by his mother the most. They are delicious and delicious. He can eat two bowls each time.It's a pity that he only has the Brahma chicken meat on hand. After this period of time, there is not much chicken left.

Du Heng shaved off the chicken this morning, and now there are only chicken bones and chicken heads.The rest of the meat has become the current wonton stuffing.

Jing Nan clasped her hands and said, "I know pumpkins. There are a lot of them in the fields. There will be pumpkins to eat in autumn, but I don't like pumpkins very much. I never knew that this vine could be eaten? Isn't it hairy?" ?” Du Heng laughed and said, “Just tear off the top layer of fur, then soak in water, chop it up, and remove the excess water to make the stuffing alive.”

Easy to say, but not easy to do.Fortunately, Du Heng discovered the correct way to use the spiritual energy. He found that as long as he manipulated the spiritual energy properly, whether he was dealing with pumpkin vines or minced meat, he could get twice the result with half the effort.I only hate his lack of aura, if his cultivation base is higher, maybe the speed can be faster.

Du Heng's eyes drifted to Mr. Xia and the others who were building a house again. Jing Nan was anxious: "What's so interesting about building a house? Besides, there is Xuanyu over there. You should seriously make wontons." Making wontons is better than building a house, At least Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao thought so. Du Heng had no choice but to concentrate on making wontons.

There is chicken bone broth simmering in the pot, which can be used to cook wontons later.Du Heng moved very quickly, and after a while, large white-skinned wontons with bulging bellies were placed on the chopping board.

When the chicken bone soup in the pot turned white, he fished out the chicken bone and put it in a basin beside him.Jing Nan looked at the chicken head: "Is this the Brahma chicken?" Du Heng smiled shyly: "Yeah." The Brahma chicken, who has no regrets, has supported him to the present. Although he is a little sorry for it, Du Heng still wants to say- —It smells so good.

Only fine salt is put in the chicken soup, and the fresh fragrance can be smelled as soon as the lid is opened.Xiaoxiao jumped onto the stove, Jing Nan hugged Xiaoxiao: "Don't move around, look at how dirty your feet are, how can others eat them in the pot?" A flash of inspiration flashed on Xiaoxiao's feet, He raised Huang Huhu's paw to Jing Nan: "Jiujiu!"

Du Heng put the wrapped wontons into the pot. He prepared a lot of stuffing, but not too much dough.He estimated Xuan Yu and Jing Nan's appetite, and added Xia Lao's share.Anyway, he knew there would be no leftovers, and with Xiaoxiao here, there would be no leftovers.

The fat wontons floated up in the pot, like goldfish with big bellies.Smiling and anxiously chirping, Du Heng laughed and said, "I have to wait a little longer, just wait for three to five minutes."

Jing Nan turned to look at Du Heng: "How long is 3 minutes?" Du Heng didn't realize it for a while: "Huh?" The unit has always been modern.

Du Heng rummaged through the original owner's mind: "One...half the time for a cup of tea?" Jing Nan thoughtfully: "It's fresh." Du Heng smiled and said, "There is a place in this world where you don't need to keep time." Twelve hours, and 24 hours. There are six 10 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute. How long is a second? One tick is one second..."

Jing Nan smiled: "I've never heard of it." Du Heng covered his face: "Forget it, don't worry about it." Just as the wontons were cooked, Du Heng picked up the strainer: "Eat!"
