Jing Nan's mouth was red, and his handsome face was also red.He threw the sausage he took a bite of into Feng Gui's arms: "Ah, spicy!!"
Jing Nan reached out to get Feng Gui's teacup: "My tongue is numb, I lost consciousness!!"
How is this reaction like eating sausage?Those who didn't know thought that what Jing Nan was taking was poison or medicine.
Feng Gui was busy handing water to Jing Nan: "Are you sure? How spicy can it be?"
Feng Gui took a bite of the sausage Jing Nan had gnawed, and heard another slight click.
Du Heng looked at Feng Gui nervously: "How is it? How is it? Is it delicious?" Seeing Jing Nan's reaction, he even suspected that he had missed.He was wondering if the peppers in the demon world were hotter than the modern ones?Jing Nan has become like this, did he put the devil pepper?
Feng Gui chewed the sausage carefully, his expression didn't change and his heart didn't beat.After he swallowed a mouthful of sausage, Du Heng and the others thought he was going to say something.As a result, Fenggui took a second bite.
The ruddy fat inside the sausage slowly trickled out from the broken section, staining Feng Gui's fingers red.Feng Gui felt that he had eaten a mouthful of fragrance, this was meat he had never eaten before.The meat in his mouth was not dry but very chewy.Taking a bite, the fat of fat meat mixed with the firmness of lean meat filled his mouth, and Feng Gui felt great satisfaction.
But even more surprises are yet to come. The sausages made by Du Heng are made according to his family's old recipe.There are more than a dozen kinds of spices in it, and Fenggui doesn't know much about spices.All he knew was that the meat in his mouth didn't have a trace of peculiar smell after eating it, only the mouthful was spicy.But this kind of spicy is not choking, not the kind of spicy that makes people uncomfortable after eating.
This kind of spiciness is very mild, and the spices hidden in the middle of the meat are fully exerting their effects. Feng Gui feels that the mouth is numb and crisp.He likes this taste very much!The best thing is the taste of this meat, absolutely!
Not salty, not light, delicious, spicy, spicy, this is the taste Fenggui wants!
Feng Gui gnawed the whole sausage calmly, and licked his fingers contentedly: "I... can I have another one? The one with Xiaoxiao is mine."
Du Heng: ...You cheat your nephew so much, be careful that your nephew continues to run away from home!
Seeing Feng Gui's reaction, Du Heng felt relieved.It seems that Jing Nan is just not used to chili peppers, so next time Du Heng will make him some sweet sausages.Du Heng turned around and picked up a sausage from the plate and put it on the chopping board. He lifted the kitchen knife and cut the sausage into slices of uniform thickness.
He deliberately left the two sides of the sausage sticking out, no more, no less, just one bite.He held one end and turned his head: "Xuan Yu."
Xuan Yu, who was standing beside Du Heng, responded: "Huh?" Du Heng squinted his eyes: "Open your mouth."
Xuanyu opened his mouth, and Du Heng stuffed a mouthful of sausage into Xuanyu's mouth: "Taste the sausage you made yourself."
Xuan Yu chewed carefully, before saying anything, a smile flowed from his eyes to the corner of his mouth.Xuan Yu nodded: "Delicious, I like this taste."
Du Heng narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "I also bought a lot of sausage casings. If you like it, let's make some more?" Xuan Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay."
When Du Heng turned his head and was about to shake the other end, he saw a jade-like claw stretching out from his side.He turned his head and saw Feng Gui unceremoniously pinched a few pieces of sausage and held them in his hands.
Du Heng sighed regretfully, Feng Daxian'er's image has been completely ruined so far.When Du Heng saw him for the first time, he was like a god descending from the sky.That domineering sword still makes Du Heng's mind shake when he thinks about it now, and Feng Gui looks good, Du Heng thinks he is noble and domineering.
As a result, when he arrived in the village, he first performed drinking insect juice in front of Du Heng, and then he was dragged away by Xuan Yu like a mop when he was drunk, and then he would use a spatula to scrape the rice... until now he has Straight away.
Fenggui's image of a high-ranking man has almost collapsed in Du Heng's heart. He never dreamed that the richest man in the village would be such a person.
Feng Gui was still urging Du Heng with his mouth full of meat: "What are you looking at me for? Cutting sausages."
The corner of Du Heng's mouth twitched, come and take care of Fenggui personally.This guy is really out of shape.As a result, he looked at Jing Nan, who was already drinking egg drop soup to relieve the spicy food.
He looked at Xuanyu again, Xuanyu had picked up the knife on the chopping board to help him cut the sausage at some point.Du Heng was moved a bit, as expected, his family Xuanyu was the most reliable.
Du Heng still picked up the sausage he left specially, everyone thought he wanted to eat it himself.But Du Heng walked into the yard, and he shouted: "Smile—it's time for dinner!!"
Du Heng always felt that something was missing when cooking, but he finally remembered when it was time to make egg drop soup.Xiaoxiao didn't squat on the stove and chirped, he was not used to it.I don't know where this kid went, but he is always the first to show up when he usually cooks delicious food.
Du Heng called twice, but Xiaoxiao didn't show up.Du Heng's complexion changed: "Are you smiling?"
When you came back, did you see him on the bullock cart?Is he still in the bullock cart?
Xiaoxiao was really still on the bullock cart. When everyone found Xiaoxiao, he was squatting in the basket and guarding the two chickens that Du Heng had picked up.
Seeing everyone looking for him, Xiaoxiao raised her big bright eyes to look at everyone: "Jiujiu~"
See, he watched the chicks well, neither starved them nor froze them.
Du Heng was very moved. He stuffed a bunch of sausages in Xiaoxiao's mouth and carried Xiaoxiao out of the basket: "Our Xiaoxiao is the most obedient and obedient."
He didn't expect that his casual sentence would make the child keep guarding Ji Zizi all the time.Looking at the two chickens that Xiaoxiao has been guarding, the two chicks are cuddling up and staring at the people around the basket in good spirits, completely unable to see the sluggish look when they were picked up at noon.
Du Heng hugged and smiled, Xuan Yu carried the basket, and a group of people returned to the kitchen in a mighty manner.When Xiaoxiao saw a table of dishes, he was so excited that he made a trembling chirping sound.
Looking at the flower-like bacon and sausages on the table with a smile, he was a little puzzled, then raised his head and tweeted a few times to Du Heng.Du Heng didn't understand what Xiaoxiao meant, so he asked, "What is Xiaoxiao talking about?"
Feng Gui had already picked up the bowl, and he said, "Smile and ask, is this the sausage you promised to give him?"
Hearing this question, Du Heng suddenly remembered.When making sausages, there was a small sausage in the middle that was only as long as a palm. At that time, Du Heng said to Xiaoxiao that this was a sausage for Xiaoxiao.
Du Heng touched his head with a smile and said: "The sausage is in the middle, and I got the sausage on the side. Where is your sausage? I will cook it for you next time, okay? Try it first today." Other sausages? Taste the same."
Smiling and nodding in satisfaction: "Hush——"
Xuan Yu, who was serving rice at this time, suddenly said: "Du Heng, come and take a look at the rice. There is something wrong."
What could be wrong with the rice?Du Heng quickly stood up and looked over.
I saw that Xuanyu used a rice spoon to loosen the rice, but the rice that came out was ruddy.
Du Heng immediately understood: "Oh, this is the oil that fell from the sausage when it was being cooked. It's okay, and it's quite delicious. It's just...Jing Nan may not be able to eat it."
Jing Nan's face was still red, and he said, "Then I won't eat rice, I will eat egg drop soup and eat vegetables. Leave me alone..."
Dr. Jing has grown so big, he has gnawed countless spiritual plants, and eaten countless pills.It can be asserted that he has tasted the most original taste of thousands of spiritual plants in the world.It's just that he didn't expect that he would be brought down by the sausage. Who would believe it?
Jing Nan felt hot in his mouth, and he held a bowl to drink duck egg soup: "To be honest, the taste should be good, but I can't stand it."
Du Heng said considerately: "There is a kind of sausage that doesn't need to be fumigated, I can make some for you when I have time?" Jing Nan laughed: "Hey~"
Although the belly was full at noon, the three dishes and one soup made by Du Heng were eaten by everyone.Especially Xiaoxiao and Fenggui, the two were so rude when they grabbed the sausage, they almost got into a fight.Jing Nan drank a full stomach of the egg drop soup, while Xuan Yu and Du Heng ate very satisfied with bacon and vegetables.
After eating and drinking, everyone sat on the chairs and let the formation clean up all the dishes on the table.
Feng Gui said: "There are many varieties and styles of dishes outside, but they are not as comfortable as eating at home."
Jing Nan also responded: "Yes, that's incomparable. If Du Heng's craftsmanship opens a shop in Lingxi Town, it may not be long before there will be a long queue of demon cultivators who come to admire the name."
Du Heng happily said: "This is a good idea, I can try it."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "You are not good enough now."
Du Heng didn't come back to his senses for a moment, he blinked at Xuan Yu: "Why?"
Xuanyu said: "The people who come and go are all demon cultivators. If you get drunk and make trouble, your cultivation can't restrain them."
Du Heng was about to burst into tears.He knew it wasn't that easy!
After dinner, Feng Gui and Jing Nan strolled home.Xiaoxiao stayed to see the chick, and he didn't plan to go back today, because he just heard that his uncle was going to eat the intestines that Du Heng left for him.Xiaoxiao got angry and decided to ignore uncle tonight.
Du Heng and Xuan Yu stood beside the basket and looked at the two chicks cuddling in the basket. Du Heng said: "It stands to reason that the poultry should be kept outside. When kept at home, they will poop and make them dirty and smelly." But it's freezing outside, and they're so weak, they'll freeze to death, right?"
Xuanyu said: "Then put them in the basket first, and move them out when the weather warms up."
Du Heng bent down to pick up a chicken cub, and he and the chicken black beans looked at each other with the same eyes.He soon noticed the strangeness of the chick. When one of the chick's eyes blinked, it seemed that two pupils appeared!
Du Heng's hand trembled and almost dropped the chicken, but he quickly grabbed it again with sharp eyesight.Du Heng panicked: "Xuanyu, Xuanyu, look quickly, is it my eyes that are dazzled? Look at this chick, does it have two pupils in its eyes?"
Xuan Yu took it and took a look, he looked left and right, the chickens were squatting obediently in his palm.Xuan Yu shook his head: "I see only one."
Du Heng rubbed his eyes: "It may be that my eyes are blurred. I'll wash up early and go to sleep. I have experienced a lot of things today."
Xuanyu put the little chicken in the basket, he grabbed a small handful of rice and put it beside the little chicken, and also put some water in a small bowl.The two chicks were so thirsty, they hurried over to drink water.
Du Heng looked at the two chicks sadly: "It's so pitiful, they almost died in the garbage dump."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "It's not pitiful, they met you. At least now they have a home."
71
After washing, Du Heng checked the condition of the two chicks again. Seeing that they were sleeping obediently, Du Heng covered the basket with a layer of cloth.This keeps the chicks warm and keeps them from freezing.Even if Xuanyu told Du Heng that there was a formation in the kitchen and the temperature was higher than outside, Du Heng was still not at ease.
After turning off the lights, Du Heng entered the room with a smile in his arms. Unexpectedly, Xuan Yu was not in the room.Du Heng and Xiaoxiao went to bed first, and after a while, Xuanyu entered the door.
Du Heng asked: "I didn't see you just now, did you go out?"
Xuan Yu said: "Jing Nan asked me to go over and help. When Jing Hong was struggling today, he broke his family's formation."
Hearing Jinghong's name, Du Heng felt disappointed for a moment: "Yes...there is another person in the village..."
Compared with his situation, Jinghong's situation may be even worse.At least he can still have a warm nest, and Jinghong can only lie casually on the Lingzhi in Jingnan's house.
Du Heng patted Xiaoxiao's back lightly, Xiaoxiao was falling asleep.Du Heng said softly: "Xuanyu, I didn't know how to write letters to the senior brothers in the Valley of the King of Medicine. Today I suddenly thought of what to write. I just want to ask your opinion on something."
Xuan Yu turned over and faced Du Heng: "Well, tell me."
Du Heng said: "Today... I am actually very happy. I was very depressed. The beasts ruined my things. I think they destroyed not only the things I made, but also my confidence and sense of security. But Later, you and Fenggui Jingnan smiled and let me know what tolerance is. I am really grateful to you all, and while I am grateful, I feel as if I have let go of something. "
Du Heng turned sideways and looked into Xuanyu's eyes seriously: "Xuanyu, I think, I may not be able to go back to my world. I want to live in the demon world and in the village. Is it possible? "
After hearing this, Xuan Yu felt a little sad.He pulled out a gentle smile: "Of course, this is your home."
Du Heng smiled, and he said: "I want to write letters to the seniors in Yaowanggu to tell them about my recent situation. Tell them that I have now arrived in a tree village and have a group of very good friends. Can I write it up? ? If they come to the demon world in the future, can I invite them to my house as guests?"
Xuanyu nodded solemnly: "Of course. This is also your village, and you are free to do whatever you want."
Du Heng smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Well, then I will write to them in two days." Xuan Yu reached out and touched Du Heng's face, Du Heng was startled: "Huh? Is there something dirty on my face? "
Xuan Yu didn't take back his hand, his hand was warm, and he just put it on Du Heng's face.Xuanyu said: "At home, you can do whatever you want. If you have anxiety or other negative emotions, remember to tell me. We are a family, and I will find a way to help you solve the problem. Maybe I am not doing enough now. OK, but I'll try."
Du Heng touched the back of Xuanyu's hand: "Well, thank you Xuanyu."
Looking into Xuan Yu's eyes, Du Heng always felt that there was an inexplicable emotion fermenting.This feeling made his cheeks turn red, Xuan Yu withdrew his hand in time: "Go to sleep, what do you want to do tomorrow?"
Du Heng thought for a while: "Let's make rice wine and meatballs." Xuan Yu nodded: "Okay. Go to sleep."
Suddenly there was a shrill scream from outside the house, and Du Heng's body trembled: "Is it Jinghong?"
Xuan Yu nodded: "It's her, Jing Nan is repairing her spiritual veins, it will be more painful." Du Heng sighed: "Why bother?"
Yes, why bother?But even though it was so painful, Jinghong still insisted on living.Presumably she also has her own difficulties, right?
In the next few days, Du Heng was so busy that he was about to smoke. He wanted to make rice wine with fried meatballs and stewed beef again.He even took the time to make sweet and salty sausages, and waited for the sausages to dry for Jing Nan to taste.
As soon as the time turns, it will be the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is just around the corner.Du Heng decided that it was time for him to make steamed stuffed buns. In their hometown, steamed stuffed buns are always eaten during Chinese New Year.
Du Heng went to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest early in the morning. The weather has been fine these few days, and the snow in the bamboo forest has melted a lot.It may be that the bamboo forest has grown so long that few people come to pick up the bamboo shoots. Du Heng can find a lot of bamboo shoots every time he comes to look for them.
The steamed buns he makes are three diced buns, which are stuffed with diced meat, chicken and bamboo shoots, and then made into white and fat buns.After steaming, take a bite and the stuffing is oily and plump, the skin is soft and slightly sweet, and the aftertaste is long~
Du Heng found several chickens among the ingredients packed in Yunyanlou. Unlike the Brahma chicken he ate before, the chickens in Yunyanlou were all young chickens.It's just right for stuffing.Besides the chicken, he also found a lot of dried shiitake mushrooms, and he plans to add another diced shiitake mushrooms to the three diced fillings!
Du Heng was humming a tune and digging the soil. From time to time, he bent down to take out the winter bamboo shoots he had chiseled from the bamboo whip from the wet soil.After a while, he filled a big basket full. Although he was the only one who came to the bamboo forest, the harvest was very gratifying.
Du Heng covered the bamboo whip with moist soil, so that in the next spring, more bamboo shoots could grow on the bamboo whip.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave the bamboo forest, he heard heavy breathing coming from behind him.The sound of breathing was like a hybrid engine, and Du Heng felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.He felt that the air around him was also getting colder, and the sun above his head was covered by dark clouds.
In just a few breaths of time, Du Heng's eyes were completely dark.
Du Heng hurriedly supported the bamboo beside him, and the hairs all over his body exploded.He could feel something behind him, but he didn't dare to look back.Could it be that a monster broke into the village?
Du Heng opened his mouth, he wanted to call, but he couldn't make any sound.He felt cold, and the darkness around him seemed to seep from his pores into his bones.He wanted to run away, but felt that his legs were filled with lead and he couldn't move.
This feeling was ten million times more terrifying than a ghost press, and Du Heng's cold sweat broke down.He could feel something approaching behind him, and he could even feel the breath moving down his neck and into his back.
Du Heng opened his mouth: "Xuanyu..."
He wants to call Xuan Yu loudly, let alone Xuan Yu or Jing Nan, no matter who it is, who can come to save him?
Du Heng's voice couldn't come out, he could only feel the things behind him getting closer.Is it the five-tailed leopard he met last time?Or another monster?Du Heng felt a little regretful, he couldn't even see what the monster that was about to devour him looked like, he was about to burp.
At this time, Du Heng heard the sound like setting off fireworks, and the violent crackling sounds echoed around him.But the sound is a little different from setting off firecrackers.
Let's put it this way, setting off firecrackers explodes in the sky above your head.But Du Heng felt that these sounds were resounding around his body, and he could even hear the sound of sharp objects sliding through the air.
He could feel the wind brushing against his cheek, and he didn't know what was going on.I only heard the voice of howling ghosts and wolves behind me: "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on..."
The surrounding darkness faded, and Du Heng opened his eyes in fear.He looked down and saw that he was still standing at the exit of the bamboo forest.He looked back boldly, but he didn't see anything in the bamboo forest.
Du Heng swallowed his saliva, then ran away.He shouted desperately: "Xuanyu!! Xuanyu!! There are monsters!! There are monsters coming in!!"
Du Heng was so nervous that he even forgot that Xuan Yu went out this morning.
Because he was too excited to run, he knocked out several bamboo shoots from the basket behind him.
Hearing Du Heng's cry for help, Jing Nan and Feng Gui leaned out from upstairs, and the other opened the courtyard door: "What?"
Du Heng turned pale: "There are monsters in the bamboo forest!"
Hearing that Jing Nan turned over from the second floor and fell down, Feng Gui appeared in the bamboo forest like a golden aura.Du Heng looked back tremblingly and picked up the bamboo shoots he had dropped. With Jing Nan and Feng Gui around, he became much more courageous.
Jing Nan and Feng Gui stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest, their expressions were strangely tight.
Du Heng walked behind them cautiously, holding a bamboo shoot in both his left and right hands: "Is there a monster?"
Feng Gui said: "Well, there are monsters. They have a lot of background."
Feng Gui's voice sounded like he was gnashing his teeth. He walked into the bamboo forest, then bent down and picked up something from the ground.There are bamboo leaves all over the ground, and the green bamboo leaves fall on the snow.
Du Heng was in a daze—were there so many leaves when he came?
When Fenggui stood up, Du Heng saw with sharp eyes that Fenggui was holding several one-foot-long needles in his hand.The needles are off-white and look like the spines of a hedgehog.
Du Heng asked weakly: "Is this a thorn from a monster?" Feng Gui nodded: "That's right, it's his."
Du Heng was about to cry: "What should I do? Why did it take a fancy to the village? Will it loot the village? Can you beat Fenggui?"
Jing Nan turned around and patted Du Heng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, one Fenggui can hit him ten times. Don't be afraid, go, I will accompany you home."
Du Heng's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he cried with a sad face: "Is it because the barrier in the village was broken, so many monsters ran into the village."
Compared with this kind of monster that would immobilize people, Du Heng felt that the black beast who opened his refrigerator before was considered polite.
Jing Nan comforted Du Heng with a smile and said, "It's okay, we're here. Don't worry."
Du Heng wanted to cry, but he wanted to tell Jing Nan that he couldn't even cry out for help just now.If he hadn't heard the crackling sound, he didn't know what would have happened to him.
Speaking of the sound that saved his life, Du Heng asked: "Just now I heard a sound from inside the bamboo forest, like firecrackers exploding, and then the monster ran away. Is that the bamboo protecting me?"
Jing Nan smiled slightly: "Yes, Du Heng is so good, the bamboo will protect you. So don't worry, you are safe in the village."
Having said that, Du Heng still felt a little weak in his hands and feet.I don't know where Xuan Yu went, but thinking of this, Du Heng's legs are a little weak.
After a while, Du Heng and the others came to the gate of the courtyard. At this time, the sharp-eyed Du Heng saw a figure shaking at the entrance of the village.He said with lingering fear: "Jing Nan, someone has come to the village."
Jing Nan said with a smile: "It's okay, they are our own people. They come to the village every year before the New Year."
Du Heng thought for a while: "Is it Fenggui's subordinates?" Xuanyu said to him before that every New Year, Fenggui's subordinates would come to the village.
Jing Nan nodded: "Well, yes, he is Feng Gui's subordinate. I will introduce you later."
While speaking, Du Heng saw clearly who came, and there were two people who came.The two of them were one tall and the other short. They were clearly walking on a country road, but they felt like stars walking on a catwalk.
The tallest one has long black hair and is handsome.He was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with an ax on his back, and his demeanor was cold and murderous.It's just that I don't know what kind of monster he is, his face is blue and purple, as if paint has been splashed on it.
In addition, the short man looks like a teenager, with a handsome face and long silver-gray hair.He has a light figure, and he feels kind when he looks at it, but the smile on his face is sloppy no matter how you look at it.To paraphrase a saying from Du Heng's world, you just want to hit him just looking at him.
This person is also the same as his companion, but his makeup is even more peculiar. Half of his face is red, just red and purple, which looks colorful.
When he walked in and took a look, the corners of Du Heng's mouth twitched. The makeup of these two people was so strange, they must have been beaten!The one with the friendly face was still dripping blood from his chin!
Du Heng was startled: "This...what's the matter?"
Jing Nan said cheerfully, "If you look at this, you will be beaten."
Du Heng wondered: "These two seem to be masters, who can beat them? Oh... I understand, are they going to fight in groups?"
72
The two soon arrived at the door of Xuanyu's house, and the black-haired man saluted Du Heng and Jing Nan: "Mr. Jing, Mr. Du."
The man with long silver-gray hair wiped his hands of blood, and he bared his teeth at Du Heng: "How can you do anything with such a handsome face like mine?"
Du Heng looked confused, and he looked at Jing Nan: "These two...know me?"
The black-haired man said respectfully: "Xia Yunzheng is a subordinate of Lord Feng, who usually guards Dongji Mountain. Mr. Du met you the day Mr. Feng and Lord Long passed through Dongji Mountain."
Du Heng: ...he doesn't remember seeing this person at all.And... Xiaofeng-jun, he knows, it's just a smile.What happened to Mr. Long?Is Xuanyu's surname Long?
The silver-gray hair continued to wipe the blood, but the more he wiped the blood on his face, the blood was wiped away by him. The red and blue on his face was so spectacular.He wiped his face and said: "Me, Chonghua. Speaking of which, this is the third time we have met. Ouch, this bamboo is too ruthless, I haven't even touched the bamboo leaves, why did it hit me so hard? "
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan quietly, and Jing Nan put his hands in his hands: "That's right, he is the monster that attacked you in the bamboo forest."
Du Heng turned his head stiffly to look at Chonghua, he was almost scared to pee just now, okay? !What does Chonghua mean? !No wonder Chonghua said that this was the third time he saw Du Heng. Now that he thinks about it, the first time should be the one in Dongji Mountain.
That time Xuanyu said that he was going to say hello to two old friends, presumably this is the two old friends, right?
The second time was in the bamboo forest. I don't know what Chonghua's purpose was. He scared Du Heng so much that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.As for the third time...is it now?
Chonghua wiped his face and said to Jing Nan: "Master Jing, has my boss returned home?" Jing Nan nodded: "He has returned."
Chonghua complained: "I wanted to take a shortcut to see Mr. Xiaofeng, but I ran into Mr. Du in the bamboo forest. I just wanted to say hello to him, but that ghost crying bamboo didn't make sense at all. You see Look at my head, it's full of blood!! Look, look!"
Chonghua parted his hair to get closer to Du Heng and Jing Nan, and he even moved closer to Du Heng on purpose.Du Heng looked at his scalp, and saw that the roots of his hair were clotted with blood.
Du Heng felt a little guilty, he said embarrassedly: "So it was you just now...Sorry, I thought it was a monster..."
Chonghua said aggrievedly: "Before I had time to speak, you called Zhuzhu to beat me."
Du Heng felt even more guilty: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just that I let the bamboo beat you..." He had never seen Guikuzhu beating someone, so how could he let Guikuzhu beat Chonghua?
At this moment, Feng Gui's voice came from the next door: "Yun Zheng, come in. Chong Hua, kneel at the door of Xuan Yu's house."
Yun Zheng bowed to Jing Nan and Du Heng and walked towards Feng Gui's palace, while Chong Hua jumped three feet high: "Huh?? Kneeling? Why do you want me to kneel?!"
Feng Gui snorted: "You are kneeling now, and Xuan Yu will spare you when he comes back."
Hearing Xuanyu's name, Chonghua's legs softened and he knelt down facing the courtyard door. Du Heng was startled: "This... this..."
Jing Nan raised his eyebrows, and he gloated and said, "You deserve it. Just kneel down honestly."
As he said that, he dragged Du Heng and walked into the yard. Du Heng turned his head to look at Chonghua from time to time.
Jing Nan smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by this guy's appearance, he is an out-and-out ancient beast. Ghost Crying Bamboo is very sensitive to murderous aura, he must be trying to sneak up on you when he walked behind you quietly Try your skills. Let him kneel down, or he will be worse than now when Xuan Yu returns."
Du Heng turned his head weakly, only then did he realize that he was still holding a bamboo shoot in his left and right hands.Because he was too nervous, the bamboo shoots were even warmed by him.
Once in the kitchen, Jing Nan smelled a sweet smell.He sniffed: "Huh? What kind of smell is this?"
Du Heng put the basket on the eaves of the corridor, and he walked in: "It's the smell of my dough. Today I want to make three diced steamed stuffed buns for everyone."
Jing Nan was a little curious: "Buns? What are they?" Du Heng said, "It's a kind of pastry, with soft dough on the outside and stuffing inside."
Speaking of which, Du Heng opened the cauldron and let Jing Nan look into the pot. Jing Nan probed and saw a ball of smooth dough at the bottom of the pot.This dough is different from the noodle and wonton dough he has seen before, Jing Nan thinks this dough seems to be growing?
Du Heng smiled and said: "This is dough fermented with fermented rice. There is no yeast in Zhou's shop, so I used a more traditional method to make dough. I don't know if it will work."
It is very convenient for Du Heng’s hometown to make dough. Just go to the supermarket to buy a pack of yeast and mix it into the flour. Knead the dough and put it in a warm place. After an hour, the dough will ferment and expand.After steaming, the fermented noodles will form honeycomb holes, which taste soft and sweet.
However, he did not see yeast, so he found another way to use fermented rice for fermentation.To some extent, fermented rice is also a product of fermentation.There will be a lot of active yeast in the fermented glutinous rice, dig out half a bowl of fermented glutinous rice, and pour them into the flour.Then use chopsticks to make flour flocs and then knead. If you feel that the noodles are a bit hard during the kneading process, you can add some warm water appropriately.
Du Hengjia's Jiuniang was made in the second batch, because the temperature in the kitchen was right, and the Jiuniang was ready in just a few days.
After the dough was kneaded into a smooth surface with moderate hardness, Du Heng put the dough in a pot to ferment.He had already prepared some warm water at the bottom of the pot. Yeast likes warm and humid places when fermenting. Du Heng turned the pot to the maximum.
Although there is only a small ball of flour in the pot, this ball of flour is kneaded out of ten catties of flour!When Du Heng was kneading the dough, he felt that his old life was about to be broken.
While the dough was fermenting, he wanted to make three small fillings.
A basin of shiitake mushrooms had already been soaked in his pool, and there were two large wooden basins beside the pool.In one of the wooden basins was placed diced chicken marinated with starch and white wine.There is also diced mountain paste meat in a basin, and some starch and white wine are added to the diced mountain paste meat, which makes the diced meat more tender and smooth.
The diced meat in the two wooden basins was as big as the top of a thumb, and Jing Nan seemed to be full of praise: "This knife skill, I can really try the road of sword cultivation in the future."
Du Heng was extremely helpless: "Okay, okay, you have the final say."
Du Heng took a Shau Kei and walked to the eaves of the corridor, Jing Nan moved a small stool and sat next to him to watch him handle the bamboo shoots.Whenever watching Du Heng handle bamboo shoots, Jing Nan always finds it pleasing to the eye.
The bamboo shoots wrapped in soil and bamboo shoots were gently turned under Du Heng's knife, and only a slight click was heard, and the white and tender bamboo shoots jumped out of the bamboo shoots.
Du Heng still has a habit when cooking, when he encounters delicious food, he will cut a knife and feed it to the people around him.When Xiaoxiao is around, he will cut and feed Xiaoxiao, and when Jing Nan is around, he will feed Jing Nan.
When Jing Nan was eating a piece of bamboo shoots, neither of them felt that anything was wrong.Chong Hua, who was kneeling outside the courtyard gate, watched this scene in horror, not knowing which point hit his fear.
Bamboo shoots from Peizhu can be eaten raw. They taste like water chestnuts with the taste of bamboo shoots.
Jing Nan bit her tongue: "I finally understand why Xiaoxiao likes to cook with you."
Du Heng's habit of feeding people casually is quite good, he likes it.
Du Heng said with a smile: "Cooking is not a serious matter. Besides, we are all our own people. When we encounter delicious food, we should eat it first as a respect."
Jing Nan said bluntly: "Oh, then you can cut a piece of bamboo shoots for me, it's quite delicious."
Du Heng cheerfully cut a piece of bamboo shoots as big as a fist for Jing Nan, and he took good care of him and said, "Don't eat this piece after you finish eating it. Eating too many bamboo shoots hurts your stomach. You still have to save your stomach to eat steamed stuffed buns later." where."
Jing Nan nodded and gnawed on the bamboo shoots: "Well, I see. By the way, what is cooked in your casserole, it smells delicious."
Du Heng turned his head to look at the casserole. He smiled and said, "Didn't you just shaved the chicken and made it into diced chicken? I boiled the remaining chicken bones into chicken soup, which can be used for seasoning later."
Jing Nan was thoughtful: "Oh~~ Can I have a bowl?"
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan: "Aren't you just eating the bamboo shoots? I feel sick to my stomach after eating them cold and hot. Besides, they haven't been cooked yet." Jing Nan could only give up regretfully: " Forget it."
Du Heng peeled most of the bamboo shoots out of the back basket, and got a shaukei full of bamboo shoots.Bamboo shoots don't need much seasoning, as long as they are evenly diced, they can be mixed directly into the meat.
The dices in the three diced buns don’t need to be too thin. If they are too thin, they will taste crumbled and chewy.Du Heng likes the feeling of being able to eat the real ingredients inside. After cleaning the bamboo shoots, he also cut the bamboo shoots into dices the size of fingernails.
For today's meal of steamed buns, Du Heng deliberately got up early today
Jing Nan's mouth was red, and his handsome face was also red.He threw the sausage he took a bite of into Feng Gui's arms: "Ah, spicy!!"
Jing Nan reached out to get Feng Gui's teacup: "My tongue is numb, I lost consciousness!!"
How is this reaction like eating sausage?Those who didn't know thought that what Jing Nan was taking was poison or medicine.
Feng Gui was busy handing water to Jing Nan: "Are you sure? How spicy can it be?"
Feng Gui took a bite of the sausage Jing Nan had gnawed, and heard another slight click.
Du Heng looked at Feng Gui nervously: "How is it? How is it? Is it delicious?" Seeing Jing Nan's reaction, he even suspected that he had missed.He was wondering if the peppers in the demon world were hotter than the modern ones?Jing Nan has become like this, did he put the devil pepper?
Feng Gui chewed the sausage carefully, his expression didn't change and his heart didn't beat.After he swallowed a mouthful of sausage, Du Heng and the others thought he was going to say something.As a result, Fenggui took a second bite.
The ruddy fat inside the sausage slowly trickled out from the broken section, staining Feng Gui's fingers red.Feng Gui felt that he had eaten a mouthful of fragrance, this was meat he had never eaten before.The meat in his mouth was not dry but very chewy.Taking a bite, the fat of fat meat mixed with the firmness of lean meat filled his mouth, and Feng Gui felt great satisfaction.
But even more surprises are yet to come. The sausages made by Du Heng are made according to his family's old recipe.There are more than a dozen kinds of spices in it, and Fenggui doesn't know much about spices.All he knew was that the meat in his mouth didn't have a trace of peculiar smell after eating it, only the mouthful was spicy.But this kind of spicy is not choking, not the kind of spicy that makes people uncomfortable after eating.
This kind of spiciness is very mild, and the spices hidden in the middle of the meat are fully exerting their effects. Feng Gui feels that the mouth is numb and crisp.He likes this taste very much!The best thing is the taste of this meat, absolutely!
Not salty, not light, delicious, spicy, spicy, this is the taste Fenggui wants!
Feng Gui gnawed the whole sausage calmly, and licked his fingers contentedly: "I... can I have another one? The one with Xiaoxiao is mine."
Du Heng: ...You cheat your nephew so much, be careful that your nephew continues to run away from home!
Seeing Feng Gui's reaction, Du Heng felt relieved.It seems that Jing Nan is just not used to chili peppers, so next time Du Heng will make him some sweet sausages.Du Heng turned around and picked up a sausage from the plate and put it on the chopping board. He lifted the kitchen knife and cut the sausage into slices of uniform thickness.
He deliberately left the two sides of the sausage sticking out, no more, no less, just one bite.He held one end and turned his head: "Xuan Yu."
Xuan Yu, who was standing beside Du Heng, responded: "Huh?" Du Heng squinted his eyes: "Open your mouth."
Xuanyu opened his mouth, and Du Heng stuffed a mouthful of sausage into Xuanyu's mouth: "Taste the sausage you made yourself."
Xuan Yu chewed carefully, before saying anything, a smile flowed from his eyes to the corner of his mouth.Xuan Yu nodded: "Delicious, I like this taste."
Du Heng narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "I also bought a lot of sausage casings. If you like it, let's make some more?" Xuan Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay."
When Du Heng turned his head and was about to shake the other end, he saw a jade-like claw stretching out from his side.He turned his head and saw Feng Gui unceremoniously pinched a few pieces of sausage and held them in his hands.
Du Heng sighed regretfully, Feng Daxian'er's image has been completely ruined so far.When Du Heng saw him for the first time, he was like a god descending from the sky.That domineering sword still makes Du Heng's mind shake when he thinks about it now, and Feng Gui looks good, Du Heng thinks he is noble and domineering.
As a result, when he arrived in the village, he first performed drinking insect juice in front of Du Heng, and then he was dragged away by Xuan Yu like a mop when he was drunk, and then he would use a spatula to scrape the rice... until now he has Straight away.
Fenggui's image of a high-ranking man has almost collapsed in Du Heng's heart. He never dreamed that the richest man in the village would be such a person.
Feng Gui was still urging Du Heng with his mouth full of meat: "What are you looking at me for? Cutting sausages."
The corner of Du Heng's mouth twitched, come and take care of Fenggui personally.This guy is really out of shape.As a result, he looked at Jing Nan, who was already drinking egg drop soup to relieve the spicy food.
He looked at Xuanyu again, Xuanyu had picked up the knife on the chopping board to help him cut the sausage at some point.Du Heng was moved a bit, as expected, his family Xuanyu was the most reliable.
Du Heng still picked up the sausage he left specially, everyone thought he wanted to eat it himself.But Du Heng walked into the yard, and he shouted: "Smile—it's time for dinner!!"
Du Heng always felt that something was missing when cooking, but he finally remembered when it was time to make egg drop soup.Xiaoxiao didn't squat on the stove and chirped, he was not used to it.I don't know where this kid went, but he is always the first to show up when he usually cooks delicious food.
Du Heng called twice, but Xiaoxiao didn't show up.Du Heng's complexion changed: "Are you smiling?"
When you came back, did you see him on the bullock cart?Is he still in the bullock cart?
Xiaoxiao was really still on the bullock cart. When everyone found Xiaoxiao, he was squatting in the basket and guarding the two chickens that Du Heng had picked up.
Seeing everyone looking for him, Xiaoxiao raised her big bright eyes to look at everyone: "Jiujiu~"
See, he watched the chicks well, neither starved them nor froze them.
Du Heng was very moved. He stuffed a bunch of sausages in Xiaoxiao's mouth and carried Xiaoxiao out of the basket: "Our Xiaoxiao is the most obedient and obedient."
He didn't expect that his casual sentence would make the child keep guarding Ji Zizi all the time.Looking at the two chickens that Xiaoxiao has been guarding, the two chicks are cuddling up and staring at the people around the basket in good spirits, completely unable to see the sluggish look when they were picked up at noon.
Du Heng hugged and smiled, Xuan Yu carried the basket, and a group of people returned to the kitchen in a mighty manner.When Xiaoxiao saw a table of dishes, he was so excited that he made a trembling chirping sound.
Looking at the flower-like bacon and sausages on the table with a smile, he was a little puzzled, then raised his head and tweeted a few times to Du Heng.Du Heng didn't understand what Xiaoxiao meant, so he asked, "What is Xiaoxiao talking about?"
Feng Gui had already picked up the bowl, and he said, "Smile and ask, is this the sausage you promised to give him?"
Hearing this question, Du Heng suddenly remembered.When making sausages, there was a small sausage in the middle that was only as long as a palm. At that time, Du Heng said to Xiaoxiao that this was a sausage for Xiaoxiao.
Du Heng touched his head with a smile and said: "The sausage is in the middle, and I got the sausage on the side. Where is your sausage? I will cook it for you next time, okay? Try it first today." Other sausages? Taste the same."
Smiling and nodding in satisfaction: "Hush——"
Xuan Yu, who was serving rice at this time, suddenly said: "Du Heng, come and take a look at the rice. There is something wrong."
What could be wrong with the rice?Du Heng quickly stood up and looked over.
I saw that Xuanyu used a rice spoon to loosen the rice, but the rice that came out was ruddy.
Du Heng immediately understood: "Oh, this is the oil that fell from the sausage when it was being cooked. It's okay, and it's quite delicious. It's just...Jing Nan may not be able to eat it."
Jing Nan's face was still red, and he said, "Then I won't eat rice, I will eat egg drop soup and eat vegetables. Leave me alone..."
Dr. Jing has grown so big, he has gnawed countless spiritual plants, and eaten countless pills.It can be asserted that he has tasted the most original taste of thousands of spiritual plants in the world.It's just that he didn't expect that he would be brought down by the sausage. Who would believe it?
Jing Nan felt hot in his mouth, and he held a bowl to drink duck egg soup: "To be honest, the taste should be good, but I can't stand it."
Du Heng said considerately: "There is a kind of sausage that doesn't need to be fumigated, I can make some for you when I have time?" Jing Nan laughed: "Hey~"
Although the belly was full at noon, the three dishes and one soup made by Du Heng were eaten by everyone.Especially Xiaoxiao and Fenggui, the two were so rude when they grabbed the sausage, they almost got into a fight.Jing Nan drank a full stomach of the egg drop soup, while Xuan Yu and Du Heng ate very satisfied with bacon and vegetables.
After eating and drinking, everyone sat on the chairs and let the formation clean up all the dishes on the table.
Feng Gui said: "There are many varieties and styles of dishes outside, but they are not as comfortable as eating at home."
Jing Nan also responded: "Yes, that's incomparable. If Du Heng's craftsmanship opens a shop in Lingxi Town, it may not be long before there will be a long queue of demon cultivators who come to admire the name."
Du Heng happily said: "This is a good idea, I can try it."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "You are not good enough now."
Du Heng didn't come back to his senses for a moment, he blinked at Xuan Yu: "Why?"
Xuanyu said: "The people who come and go are all demon cultivators. If you get drunk and make trouble, your cultivation can't restrain them."
Du Heng was about to burst into tears.He knew it wasn't that easy!
After dinner, Feng Gui and Jing Nan strolled home.Xiaoxiao stayed to see the chick, and he didn't plan to go back today, because he just heard that his uncle was going to eat the intestines that Du Heng left for him.Xiaoxiao got angry and decided to ignore uncle tonight.
Du Heng and Xuan Yu stood beside the basket and looked at the two chicks cuddling in the basket. Du Heng said: "It stands to reason that the poultry should be kept outside. When kept at home, they will poop and make them dirty and smelly." But it's freezing outside, and they're so weak, they'll freeze to death, right?"
Xuanyu said: "Then put them in the basket first, and move them out when the weather warms up."
Du Heng bent down to pick up a chicken cub, and he and the chicken black beans looked at each other with the same eyes.He soon noticed the strangeness of the chick. When one of the chick's eyes blinked, it seemed that two pupils appeared!
Du Heng's hand trembled and almost dropped the chicken, but he quickly grabbed it again with sharp eyesight.Du Heng panicked: "Xuanyu, Xuanyu, look quickly, is it my eyes that are dazzled? Look at this chick, does it have two pupils in its eyes?"
Xuan Yu took it and took a look, he looked left and right, the chickens were squatting obediently in his palm.Xuan Yu shook his head: "I see only one."
Du Heng rubbed his eyes: "It may be that my eyes are blurred. I'll wash up early and go to sleep. I have experienced a lot of things today."
Xuanyu put the little chicken in the basket, he grabbed a small handful of rice and put it beside the little chicken, and also put some water in a small bowl.The two chicks were so thirsty, they hurried over to drink water.
Du Heng looked at the two chicks sadly: "It's so pitiful, they almost died in the garbage dump."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "It's not pitiful, they met you. At least now they have a home."
71
After washing, Du Heng checked the condition of the two chicks again. Seeing that they were sleeping obediently, Du Heng covered the basket with a layer of cloth.This keeps the chicks warm and keeps them from freezing.Even if Xuanyu told Du Heng that there was a formation in the kitchen and the temperature was higher than outside, Du Heng was still not at ease.
After turning off the lights, Du Heng entered the room with a smile in his arms. Unexpectedly, Xuan Yu was not in the room.Du Heng and Xiaoxiao went to bed first, and after a while, Xuanyu entered the door.
Du Heng asked: "I didn't see you just now, did you go out?"
Xuan Yu said: "Jing Nan asked me to go over and help. When Jing Hong was struggling today, he broke his family's formation."
Hearing Jinghong's name, Du Heng felt disappointed for a moment: "Yes...there is another person in the village..."
Compared with his situation, Jinghong's situation may be even worse.At least he can still have a warm nest, and Jinghong can only lie casually on the Lingzhi in Jingnan's house.
Du Heng patted Xiaoxiao's back lightly, Xiaoxiao was falling asleep.Du Heng said softly: "Xuanyu, I didn't know how to write letters to the senior brothers in the Valley of the King of Medicine. Today I suddenly thought of what to write. I just want to ask your opinion on something."
Xuan Yu turned over and faced Du Heng: "Well, tell me."
Du Heng said: "Today... I am actually very happy. I was very depressed. The beasts ruined my things. I think they destroyed not only the things I made, but also my confidence and sense of security. But Later, you and Fenggui Jingnan smiled and let me know what tolerance is. I am really grateful to you all, and while I am grateful, I feel as if I have let go of something. "
Du Heng turned sideways and looked into Xuanyu's eyes seriously: "Xuanyu, I think, I may not be able to go back to my world. I want to live in the demon world and in the village. Is it possible? "
After hearing this, Xuan Yu felt a little sad.He pulled out a gentle smile: "Of course, this is your home."
Du Heng smiled, and he said: "I want to write letters to the seniors in Yaowanggu to tell them about my recent situation. Tell them that I have now arrived in a tree village and have a group of very good friends. Can I write it up? ? If they come to the demon world in the future, can I invite them to my house as guests?"
Xuanyu nodded solemnly: "Of course. This is also your village, and you are free to do whatever you want."
Du Heng smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Well, then I will write to them in two days." Xuan Yu reached out and touched Du Heng's face, Du Heng was startled: "Huh? Is there something dirty on my face? "
Xuan Yu didn't take back his hand, his hand was warm, and he just put it on Du Heng's face.Xuanyu said: "At home, you can do whatever you want. If you have anxiety or other negative emotions, remember to tell me. We are a family, and I will find a way to help you solve the problem. Maybe I am not doing enough now. OK, but I'll try."
Du Heng touched the back of Xuanyu's hand: "Well, thank you Xuanyu."
Looking into Xuan Yu's eyes, Du Heng always felt that there was an inexplicable emotion fermenting.This feeling made his cheeks turn red, Xuan Yu withdrew his hand in time: "Go to sleep, what do you want to do tomorrow?"
Du Heng thought for a while: "Let's make rice wine and meatballs." Xuan Yu nodded: "Okay. Go to sleep."
Suddenly there was a shrill scream from outside the house, and Du Heng's body trembled: "Is it Jinghong?"
Xuan Yu nodded: "It's her, Jing Nan is repairing her spiritual veins, it will be more painful." Du Heng sighed: "Why bother?"
Yes, why bother?But even though it was so painful, Jinghong still insisted on living.Presumably she also has her own difficulties, right?
In the next few days, Du Heng was so busy that he was about to smoke. He wanted to make rice wine with fried meatballs and stewed beef again.He even took the time to make sweet and salty sausages, and waited for the sausages to dry for Jing Nan to taste.
As soon as the time turns, it will be the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is just around the corner.Du Heng decided that it was time for him to make steamed stuffed buns. In their hometown, steamed stuffed buns are always eaten during Chinese New Year.
Du Heng went to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest early in the morning. The weather has been fine these few days, and the snow in the bamboo forest has melted a lot.It may be that the bamboo forest has grown so long that few people come to pick up the bamboo shoots. Du Heng can find a lot of bamboo shoots every time he comes to look for them.
The steamed buns he makes are three diced buns, which are stuffed with diced meat, chicken and bamboo shoots, and then made into white and fat buns.After steaming, take a bite and the stuffing is oily and plump, the skin is soft and slightly sweet, and the aftertaste is long~
Du Heng found several chickens among the ingredients packed in Yunyanlou. Unlike the Brahma chicken he ate before, the chickens in Yunyanlou were all young chickens.It's just right for stuffing.Besides the chicken, he also found a lot of dried shiitake mushrooms, and he plans to add another diced shiitake mushrooms to the three diced fillings!
Du Heng was humming a tune and digging the soil. From time to time, he bent down to take out the winter bamboo shoots he had chiseled from the bamboo whip from the wet soil.After a while, he filled a big basket full. Although he was the only one who came to the bamboo forest, the harvest was very gratifying.
Du Heng covered the bamboo whip with moist soil, so that in the next spring, more bamboo shoots could grow on the bamboo whip.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave the bamboo forest, he heard heavy breathing coming from behind him.The sound of breathing was like a hybrid engine, and Du Heng felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.He felt that the air around him was also getting colder, and the sun above his head was covered by dark clouds.
In just a few breaths of time, Du Heng's eyes were completely dark.
Du Heng hurriedly supported the bamboo beside him, and the hairs all over his body exploded.He could feel something behind him, but he didn't dare to look back.Could it be that a monster broke into the village?
Du Heng opened his mouth, he wanted to call, but he couldn't make any sound.He felt cold, and the darkness around him seemed to seep from his pores into his bones.He wanted to run away, but felt that his legs were filled with lead and he couldn't move.
This feeling was ten million times more terrifying than a ghost press, and Du Heng's cold sweat broke down.He could feel something approaching behind him, and he could even feel the breath moving down his neck and into his back.
Du Heng opened his mouth: "Xuanyu..."
He wants to call Xuan Yu loudly, let alone Xuan Yu or Jing Nan, no matter who it is, who can come to save him?
Du Heng's voice couldn't come out, he could only feel the things behind him getting closer.Is it the five-tailed leopard he met last time?Or another monster?Du Heng felt a little regretful, he couldn't even see what the monster that was about to devour him looked like, he was about to burp.
At this time, Du Heng heard the sound like setting off fireworks, and the violent crackling sounds echoed around him.But the sound is a little different from setting off firecrackers.
Let's put it this way, setting off firecrackers explodes in the sky above your head.But Du Heng felt that these sounds were resounding around his body, and he could even hear the sound of sharp objects sliding through the air.
He could feel the wind brushing against his cheek, and he didn't know what was going on.I only heard the voice of howling ghosts and wolves behind me: "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on..."
The surrounding darkness faded, and Du Heng opened his eyes in fear.He looked down and saw that he was still standing at the exit of the bamboo forest.He looked back boldly, but he didn't see anything in the bamboo forest.
Du Heng swallowed his saliva, then ran away.He shouted desperately: "Xuanyu!! Xuanyu!! There are monsters!! There are monsters coming in!!"
Du Heng was so nervous that he even forgot that Xuan Yu went out this morning.
Because he was too excited to run, he knocked out several bamboo shoots from the basket behind him.
Hearing Du Heng's cry for help, Jing Nan and Feng Gui leaned out from upstairs, and the other opened the courtyard door: "What?"
Du Heng turned pale: "There are monsters in the bamboo forest!"
Hearing that Jing Nan turned over from the second floor and fell down, Feng Gui appeared in the bamboo forest like a golden aura.Du Heng looked back tremblingly and picked up the bamboo shoots he had dropped. With Jing Nan and Feng Gui around, he became much more courageous.
Jing Nan and Feng Gui stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest, their expressions were strangely tight.
Du Heng walked behind them cautiously, holding a bamboo shoot in both his left and right hands: "Is there a monster?"
Feng Gui said: "Well, there are monsters. They have a lot of background."
Feng Gui's voice sounded like he was gnashing his teeth. He walked into the bamboo forest, then bent down and picked up something from the ground.There are bamboo leaves all over the ground, and the green bamboo leaves fall on the snow.
Du Heng was in a daze—were there so many leaves when he came?
When Fenggui stood up, Du Heng saw with sharp eyes that Fenggui was holding several one-foot-long needles in his hand.The needles are off-white and look like the spines of a hedgehog.
Du Heng asked weakly: "Is this a thorn from a monster?" Feng Gui nodded: "That's right, it's his."
Du Heng was about to cry: "What should I do? Why did it take a fancy to the village? Will it loot the village? Can you beat Fenggui?"
Jing Nan turned around and patted Du Heng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, one Fenggui can hit him ten times. Don't be afraid, go, I will accompany you home."
Du Heng's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he cried with a sad face: "Is it because the barrier in the village was broken, so many monsters ran into the village."
Compared with this kind of monster that would immobilize people, Du Heng felt that the black beast who opened his refrigerator before was considered polite.
Jing Nan comforted Du Heng with a smile and said, "It's okay, we're here. Don't worry."
Du Heng wanted to cry, but he wanted to tell Jing Nan that he couldn't even cry out for help just now.If he hadn't heard the crackling sound, he didn't know what would have happened to him.
Speaking of the sound that saved his life, Du Heng asked: "Just now I heard a sound from inside the bamboo forest, like firecrackers exploding, and then the monster ran away. Is that the bamboo protecting me?"
Jing Nan smiled slightly: "Yes, Du Heng is so good, the bamboo will protect you. So don't worry, you are safe in the village."
Having said that, Du Heng still felt a little weak in his hands and feet.I don't know where Xuan Yu went, but thinking of this, Du Heng's legs are a little weak.
After a while, Du Heng and the others came to the gate of the courtyard. At this time, the sharp-eyed Du Heng saw a figure shaking at the entrance of the village.He said with lingering fear: "Jing Nan, someone has come to the village."
Jing Nan said with a smile: "It's okay, they are our own people. They come to the village every year before the New Year."
Du Heng thought for a while: "Is it Fenggui's subordinates?" Xuanyu said to him before that every New Year, Fenggui's subordinates would come to the village.
Jing Nan nodded: "Well, yes, he is Feng Gui's subordinate. I will introduce you later."
While speaking, Du Heng saw clearly who came, and there were two people who came.The two of them were one tall and the other short. They were clearly walking on a country road, but they felt like stars walking on a catwalk.
The tallest one has long black hair and is handsome.He was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with an ax on his back, and his demeanor was cold and murderous.It's just that I don't know what kind of monster he is, his face is blue and purple, as if paint has been splashed on it.
In addition, the short man looks like a teenager, with a handsome face and long silver-gray hair.He has a light figure, and he feels kind when he looks at it, but the smile on his face is sloppy no matter how you look at it.To paraphrase a saying from Du Heng's world, you just want to hit him just looking at him.
This person is also the same as his companion, but his makeup is even more peculiar. Half of his face is red, just red and purple, which looks colorful.
When he walked in and took a look, the corners of Du Heng's mouth twitched. The makeup of these two people was so strange, they must have been beaten!The one with the friendly face was still dripping blood from his chin!
Du Heng was startled: "This...what's the matter?"
Jing Nan said cheerfully, "If you look at this, you will be beaten."
Du Heng wondered: "These two seem to be masters, who can beat them? Oh... I understand, are they going to fight in groups?"
72
The two soon arrived at the door of Xuanyu's house, and the black-haired man saluted Du Heng and Jing Nan: "Mr. Jing, Mr. Du."
The man with long silver-gray hair wiped his hands of blood, and he bared his teeth at Du Heng: "How can you do anything with such a handsome face like mine?"
Du Heng looked confused, and he looked at Jing Nan: "These two...know me?"
The black-haired man said respectfully: "Xia Yunzheng is a subordinate of Lord Feng, who usually guards Dongji Mountain. Mr. Du met you the day Mr. Feng and Lord Long passed through Dongji Mountain."
Du Heng: ...he doesn't remember seeing this person at all.And... Xiaofeng-jun, he knows, it's just a smile.What happened to Mr. Long?Is Xuanyu's surname Long?
The silver-gray hair continued to wipe the blood, but the more he wiped the blood on his face, the blood was wiped away by him. The red and blue on his face was so spectacular.He wiped his face and said: "Me, Chonghua. Speaking of which, this is the third time we have met. Ouch, this bamboo is too ruthless, I haven't even touched the bamboo leaves, why did it hit me so hard? "
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan quietly, and Jing Nan put his hands in his hands: "That's right, he is the monster that attacked you in the bamboo forest."
Du Heng turned his head stiffly to look at Chonghua, he was almost scared to pee just now, okay? !What does Chonghua mean? !No wonder Chonghua said that this was the third time he saw Du Heng. Now that he thinks about it, the first time should be the one in Dongji Mountain.
That time Xuanyu said that he was going to say hello to two old friends, presumably this is the two old friends, right?
The second time was in the bamboo forest. I don't know what Chonghua's purpose was. He scared Du Heng so much that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.As for the third time...is it now?
Chonghua wiped his face and said to Jing Nan: "Master Jing, has my boss returned home?" Jing Nan nodded: "He has returned."
Chonghua complained: "I wanted to take a shortcut to see Mr. Xiaofeng, but I ran into Mr. Du in the bamboo forest. I just wanted to say hello to him, but that ghost crying bamboo didn't make sense at all. You see Look at my head, it's full of blood!! Look, look!"
Chonghua parted his hair to get closer to Du Heng and Jing Nan, and he even moved closer to Du Heng on purpose.Du Heng looked at his scalp, and saw that the roots of his hair were clotted with blood.
Du Heng felt a little guilty, he said embarrassedly: "So it was you just now...Sorry, I thought it was a monster..."
Chonghua said aggrievedly: "Before I had time to speak, you called Zhuzhu to beat me."
Du Heng felt even more guilty: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just that I let the bamboo beat you..." He had never seen Guikuzhu beating someone, so how could he let Guikuzhu beat Chonghua?
At this moment, Feng Gui's voice came from the next door: "Yun Zheng, come in. Chong Hua, kneel at the door of Xuan Yu's house."
Yun Zheng bowed to Jing Nan and Du Heng and walked towards Feng Gui's palace, while Chong Hua jumped three feet high: "Huh?? Kneeling? Why do you want me to kneel?!"
Feng Gui snorted: "You are kneeling now, and Xuan Yu will spare you when he comes back."
Hearing Xuanyu's name, Chonghua's legs softened and he knelt down facing the courtyard door. Du Heng was startled: "This... this..."
Jing Nan raised his eyebrows, and he gloated and said, "You deserve it. Just kneel down honestly."
As he said that, he dragged Du Heng and walked into the yard. Du Heng turned his head to look at Chonghua from time to time.
Jing Nan smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by this guy's appearance, he is an out-and-out ancient beast. Ghost Crying Bamboo is very sensitive to murderous aura, he must be trying to sneak up on you when he walked behind you quietly Try your skills. Let him kneel down, or he will be worse than now when Xuan Yu returns."
Du Heng turned his head weakly, only then did he realize that he was still holding a bamboo shoot in his left and right hands.Because he was too nervous, the bamboo shoots were even warmed by him.
Once in the kitchen, Jing Nan smelled a sweet smell.He sniffed: "Huh? What kind of smell is this?"
Du Heng put the basket on the eaves of the corridor, and he walked in: "It's the smell of my dough. Today I want to make three diced steamed stuffed buns for everyone."
Jing Nan was a little curious: "Buns? What are they?" Du Heng said, "It's a kind of pastry, with soft dough on the outside and stuffing inside."
Speaking of which, Du Heng opened the cauldron and let Jing Nan look into the pot. Jing Nan probed and saw a ball of smooth dough at the bottom of the pot.This dough is different from the noodle and wonton dough he has seen before, Jing Nan thinks this dough seems to be growing?
Du Heng smiled and said: "This is dough fermented with fermented rice. There is no yeast in Zhou's shop, so I used a more traditional method to make dough. I don't know if it will work."
It is very convenient for Du Heng’s hometown to make dough. Just go to the supermarket to buy a pack of yeast and mix it into the flour. Knead the dough and put it in a warm place. After an hour, the dough will ferment and expand.After steaming, the fermented noodles will form honeycomb holes, which taste soft and sweet.
However, he did not see yeast, so he found another way to use fermented rice for fermentation.To some extent, fermented rice is also a product of fermentation.There will be a lot of active yeast in the fermented glutinous rice, dig out half a bowl of fermented glutinous rice, and pour them into the flour.Then use chopsticks to make flour flocs and then knead. If you feel that the noodles are a bit hard during the kneading process, you can add some warm water appropriately.
Du Hengjia's Jiuniang was made in the second batch, because the temperature in the kitchen was right, and the Jiuniang was ready in just a few days.
After the dough was kneaded into a smooth surface with moderate hardness, Du Heng put the dough in a pot to ferment.He had already prepared some warm water at the bottom of the pot. Yeast likes warm and humid places when fermenting. Du Heng turned the pot to the maximum.
Although there is only a small ball of flour in the pot, this ball of flour is kneaded out of ten catties of flour!When Du Heng was kneading the dough, he felt that his old life was about to be broken.
While the dough was fermenting, he wanted to make three small fillings.
A basin of shiitake mushrooms had already been soaked in his pool, and there were two large wooden basins beside the pool.In one of the wooden basins was placed diced chicken marinated with starch and white wine.There is also diced mountain paste meat in a basin, and some starch and white wine are added to the diced mountain paste meat, which makes the diced meat more tender and smooth.
The diced meat in the two wooden basins was as big as the top of a thumb, and Jing Nan seemed to be full of praise: "This knife skill, I can really try the road of sword cultivation in the future."
Du Heng was extremely helpless: "Okay, okay, you have the final say."
Du Heng took a Shau Kei and walked to the eaves of the corridor, Jing Nan moved a small stool and sat next to him to watch him handle the bamboo shoots.Whenever watching Du Heng handle bamboo shoots, Jing Nan always finds it pleasing to the eye.
The bamboo shoots wrapped in soil and bamboo shoots were gently turned under Du Heng's knife, and only a slight click was heard, and the white and tender bamboo shoots jumped out of the bamboo shoots.
Du Heng still has a habit when cooking, when he encounters delicious food, he will cut a knife and feed it to the people around him.When Xiaoxiao is around, he will cut and feed Xiaoxiao, and when Jing Nan is around, he will feed Jing Nan.
When Jing Nan was eating a piece of bamboo shoots, neither of them felt that anything was wrong.Chong Hua, who was kneeling outside the courtyard gate, watched this scene in horror, not knowing which point hit his fear.
Bamboo shoots from Peizhu can be eaten raw. They taste like water chestnuts with the taste of bamboo shoots.
Jing Nan bit her tongue: "I finally understand why Xiaoxiao likes to cook with you."
Du Heng's habit of feeding people casually is quite good, he likes it.
Du Heng said with a smile: "Cooking is not a serious matter. Besides, we are all our own people. When we encounter delicious food, we should eat it first as a respect."
Jing Nan said bluntly: "Oh, then you can cut a piece of bamboo shoots for me, it's quite delicious."
Du Heng cheerfully cut a piece of bamboo shoots as big as a fist for Jing Nan, and he took good care of him and said, "Don't eat this piece after you finish eating it. Eating too many bamboo shoots hurts your stomach. You still have to save your stomach to eat steamed stuffed buns later." where."
Jing Nan nodded and gnawed on the bamboo shoots: "Well, I see. By the way, what is cooked in your casserole, it smells delicious."
Du Heng turned his head to look at the casserole. He smiled and said, "Didn't you just shaved the chicken and made it into diced chicken? I boiled the remaining chicken bones into chicken soup, which can be used for seasoning later."
Jing Nan was thoughtful: "Oh~~ Can I have a bowl?"
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan: "Aren't you just eating the bamboo shoots? I feel sick to my stomach after eating them cold and hot. Besides, they haven't been cooked yet." Jing Nan could only give up regretfully: " Forget it."
Du Heng peeled most of the bamboo shoots out of the back basket, and got a shaukei full of bamboo shoots.Bamboo shoots don't need much seasoning, as long as they are evenly diced, they can be mixed directly into the meat.
The dices in the three diced buns don’t need to be too thin. If they are too thin, they will taste crumbled and chewy.Du Heng likes the feeling of being able to eat the real ingredients inside. After cleaning the bamboo shoots, he also cut the bamboo shoots into dices the size of fingernails.
For today's meal of steamed buns, Du Heng deliberately got up early today
