Otherworldly Pastry Chef

The females who went out to collect today did not go to the Xishan fruit forest, so in the whole forest, only Ginkgo and Heixiao were there.

Bai Guo stuffed the Qiankun bag into Hei Xiao's hand again, and told him: "It's so troublesome. I'll give this to you, don't give it back to me every day. You have to carry a variety of things back when you go hunting, and I can’t bring much. I have two instrument rings but I don’t need them.”

Hei Xiao took the Qiankun bag and looked at Bai Guo: "But this is very precious."

Bai Guo rubbed the green peach and took a bite: "I'm also very precious! I've been staying at your house, and you don't even think so much of it."

For a moment, Hei Xiao didn't know how to continue talking.

"Ginguo... I don't despise you."

Bai Guo wiped another green peach and brought it to Hei Xiao's mouth.

"I know. I'm just making an example of why you are so serious. Anyway, it's the Qiankun bag for you, which I haven't sealed. You pierce your finger, drop a drop of blood on the bag, and then the bag will be yours. From now on Even if you drop it somewhere, over a certain distance, it will automatically return to you."

Hei Xiao was shocked by this description.

"What... is this power?"

Bai Guo scratched his head: "I can't tell. But these are magic tools, made by the immortal family. I don't understand, so I can't explain clearly. Anyway, my Liangyi ring is like this. Try it quickly."

Although it was incredible, Hei Xiao had no reason not to believe it.Although he still felt that it was wrong to take such a valuable thing as Bai Guo, but Bai Guo's attitude was very firm, and he felt that if he refused again, Bai Guo would definitely be unhappy.He simply accepts the things and repays Bai Guo with a better future.He stretched out his sharp claws and pricked his finger, and a drop of blood dripped onto the Qiankun bag.Hei Xiao watched a cloud of white mist disperse from the Qiankun bag, enveloping his hands and forearms in it.He only felt a little itchy on his arm, and when the white mist disappeared, the Qiankun bag in his hand disappeared, and on his arm, there was a dark brown tattoo like a flame.

"What... what's going on?"

Bai Guo was also taken aback.

"Wow! It turns out that the Qiankun bag is of such a high level! It can be integrated with the master! It is even more advanced than my Liangyi ring. It is indeed a gift from the master. It is even more impossible to lose it. He It’s in your body. You try these green peaches, the usage is the same as before.”

Hei Xiao put the box containing green peaches in and took it out, tried several times, and finally sighed: "It's really amazing. But can it be removed?"

Bai Guo shook his head: "I can't. Oh no, it's not impossible, it's only possible to take it out when your cultivation level surpasses the magic weapon and can expel it. Don't you...don't you like it?"

Seeing Bai Guo blinking and looking at him with a little grievance, Hei Xiao quickly shook his head: "Of course not. I like it very much. It's just that it's so precious, I deserve it."

Bai Guo smiled: "Why do you always think this way? You took me in, took care of me, and thought of me in every way. These are things that are more precious to me than anything else. And you didn't send me away because of my identity. Send it away, these are the things I want to thank you for. Without you, I might not know what would have happened if I fell here. Maybe I would have been killed by something that was unknown."

Hei Xiao frowned: "No. I will protect, always protect you!"

Bai Guo nodded: "Yes. I know. So compared to you and me, these things are not important. Don't think about them anymore. Quickly help me pick green plums. Remember not to hurt the peel. I Come to pick green peaches, I will make green peach and plum sauce to try when I go back at night. If it tastes good, I will bring the stuffing for glutinous rice balls."

Whether it is making pickled fruit or making jam, a lot of sugar is needed. Ginkgo used a lot of sugar when making Sophora japonica sauce before. So soon, he followed Hei Xiao to the sugar workshop and bought it for the second time.

The people from the sugar workshop saw Hei Xiao, and then saw the ginkgo on the side, and immediately turned their attention to ginkgo.

"You still want to buy sugar, right?"

Bai Guo nodded: "That's right. I need ten catties of granulated sugar and ten catties of rock sugar. You don't need an oilcloth bag, just use leaves."

Xiang Shu, the owner of the sugar workshop, smiled and said, "I know how to be diligent and thrifty at such a young age. I'll wrap the sugar for you, just wait a moment."

Hei Xiao told Bai Guo: "Four oilcloth bags are only a penny, so there is no need to save so much."

Bai Guo shook her head: "That's different. Because I don't need it, I don't need to buy it. It has nothing to do with how much money I have. Besides, there is a jar of sugar at home. I have already bought an oilcloth bag. We will carry oilcloth with us in the future. Bags are fine, you can put a lot of things.”

While the two were talking, two more people came in outside the sugar workshop.One of them frowned immediately when he saw Bai Guo, and muttered something in a low voice.

"Unlucky."

Bai Guo didn't respond to this, but Hei Xiao frowned.Seeing that Hei Xiao was unhappy, Bai Guo immediately grabbed his wrist.

"We have to buy jars later, can we buy four?"

Hei Xiao nodded: "Okay. What else do you want to buy?"

Bai Guo made some calculations: "Can I buy another ten catties of glutinous rice flour?"

Hei Xiao replied: "Yes. But don't you still have some at home?"

"I want to make rice cakes, so make more. Xiaohua said that there will be a market in five days, and I want to take rice cakes with me." Thinking of fried rice cakes, baked rice cakes, and glutinous rice balls, Ginkgo was a little greedy.

"Then buy more. I'll help you."

At this time, Xiang Shu took out the sugar from the bread.

"I lent you this basket. It seems that your basket is full of things and it's hard to take it. Just send it back later."

Bai Guo hurriedly thanked: "Thank you! We will send the things back soon."

After paying the bill, come out of the sugar workshop.Hei Xiao heard that person's "hum" again.His brow furrowed again.

Bai Guo tugged his sleeve: "It doesn't matter. I don't even know who he is. I don't remember the name at all. Look, how boring he is doing this."

Hei Xiao told him: "His name is Xining. The Xi family is one of the nobles in Yancheng. The Xi family once wanted to buy me and sign a death contract with them to be Xining's bodyguard. I didn't agree, so he has been targeting me."

Bai Guo also frowned now.

"Why did you buy yours? What do you mean?"

Hei Xiao looked around and it was really not suitable for chatting, so he told Bai Guo: "I'll buy something and go home later. I'll tell you again."

When selling things next, Bai Guo was also absent-minded.After borrowing a cart to push the four jars home, Bai Guo hurriedly asked: "You talk first, and then send it back after you finish talking. I also want to pack some Sophora japonica sauce, and you give it to the pottery shop and the owner of the sugar workshop. Thank you for lending us the baskets and carts."

Hei Xiao told him what had happened before when he saw that the ginkgo was wrapped in Sophora japonica sauce.

At the very beginning, when Shihuan's elder brother and husband brought him back to Yancheng, the people of the Xi family took a fancy to Hei Xiao as a helpless person who would never be found by the Hei family.And such a male himself has no great future, and no female will marry without marrying. It is most suitable to be a slave of a nobleman and sign a death contract to be a bodyguard.At that time, the Xi family wanted to give money to Shihuan's elder brother, but was refused.Afterwards, they approached Hei Xiao alone. He was also the young master of a noble family ten years before Hei Xiao. Of course he knew what the death contract guard meant, so he flatly refused.

When talking about this matter at that time, Hei Xiao saw Xining who was growing up on his side at that time.At that time, Xining asked him why he didn't serve as his bodyguard, and Hei Xiao told him that he would only protect those who were worthy of his protection, and would never betray himself.

17-year-olds are not yet adults, but they are close to that period.Hei Xiao's refusal made Xining feel very shameless, and after that, he always treated Hei Xiao coldly.In fact, Hei Xiao really didn't care about Xining before.After all, nobles are not nobles, as long as they have done nothing wrong, it is impossible for the Xi family to treat themselves like this.But today Bai Guo saw this person's dislike for him, and he also wanted to make it clear, lest Bai Guo would be implicated again if he didn't know anything.

Bai Guo pouted slightly: "You hate you if you don't want to be his slave? It's really unreasonable. It's their fault, Hei Xiao, don't be sad."

Hei Xiao took the two leaf packets from Bai Guo.

"I'm not sad. I'm just afraid that you will be bullied."

Bai Guo raised her hand and gestured: "I have spells! I'm not afraid of being bullied by them! Now, tell them, soak a tablespoon in a large glass of water. Warm water is good. It will taste better when it's cold after soaking."

Hei Xiao nodded: "Actually, they borrowed things from us, just thank you. You don't have to give things away."

Bai Guo shook her head: "This is to let them take care of me in the future. And they like what I make. If we sell it in the future, they may buy it."

Hei Xiao smiled: "The little rabbit has a lot of eyes."

Bai Guo made a face at him: "Occasionally I am very smart!"

Before dinner, Ginkgo and Hei Xiao picked out the green peaches and plums with broken skins, washed the rest with salt water, and put them on the grass curtain to dry the skin.But after dark, the wind suddenly picked up, and the two of them moved all the fruits to the kitchen.

The water in the pot had already boiled, and Ginkgo put the washed green peaches and plums into it.

"I'm going to get through this, and I won't practice today." While working, Bai Guo muttered.Prepare yourself for laziness.

Hei Xiao was amused by Bai Guo: "Recently, you always think about not cultivating. Was it like this before?"

Gingko plucked the fruit in the pot a few times.

"No. I used to have nothing to do except make snacks and read miscellaneous books. The monsters on the mountain would practice on their own. They didn't want to take me with them. I would only do it when the demon market opened on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. A lot of snacks to exchange for things. The master does not appear frequently. So I can only practice by myself. And everyone is practicing. If I don’t practice, I will be even more backward. But it’s different here. There are many things to do every day. And You will chat with me, teach me things I don’t know, and listen to me about things you don’t know. We can still plan what to do in the future. In short, we are very busy and full. When I am tired... I want to be lazy. Before Not really."

"It seems that you are very used to living here." Hei Xiao was in a good mood.

Bai Guo nodded: "Yes. I also noticed that I seldom think about what happened on the mountain before. It's just that I occasionally want to anger the master, but he is so powerful, so he doesn't use me much, just think about it. By the way, In Daji five days later, I can buy rice cakes, right?"

"Of course. But what are rice cakes?" Hei Xiao asked, and Bai Guo replied: "There are many kinds. But I plan to use glutinous rice flour to make rice cakes. This is easier to make than directly steamed rice, although the taste will be very different. But it’s good for fried rice cakes and baked rice cakes.”

"Food made of glutinous rice baked? Like scones?" Hei Xiao swallowed subconsciously when he thought of the hanging oven cakes made by ginkgo a few days ago.That taste is really delicious!

"It's not the same. This can be cut into small pieces, skewered, like barbecue, brushed with sauce, and eaten directly. No need to eat vegetables. I will make some for you all to try tomorrow. If you three feel good Eat, and we might need a tandoor. Just the kind in the room."

Bai Guo, who was lazy again and didn't practice all night, got up early the next day.As soon as he put on his shoes, Hei Xiao also woke up.It was still dark outside, so Hei Xiao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah! I'm sorry for waking you up. I'm going to get up and make soup. Then steam glutinous rice flour, make purple potato stuffing, and seasoning for baking rice cakes. There are so many things to do. I do these things in my dreams, so I can't sleep I'm going down. It seems...it's a little early." The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and Bai Guo realized that he seemed too excited.

Hei Xiao also went down to the ground: "Then I'll go out to catch fish too. Didn't you say you want to make fish porridge for them to taste. I just want to eat it too. Fish are easier to catch at this time. I'll be back soon."

The two of them had a clear division of labor, and they got busy at home and outside early in the morning.Speaking of which, Hei Xiao was still quite apprehensive.Unlike Bai Guo, it was the first time anyone came to his house for dinner today.Although it was Bai Guo's treat, the two guests who came looked at Bai Guo's face, but it was his home after all.As the host, he also hopes to prepare more and better things for the guests.Even if it's just for Bai Guo's face.

When Hei Xiao came back with a large wooden barrel of fish and shrimp, Ginkgo was making Ruyi purple potato rolls.

The white glutinous rice skin and the purple purple potato skin are stacked together, with a thin layer of green peach and plum sauce on top, and the ginkgo is carefully rolled from one end, and then rolled from the other end.The two sides are symmetrically rolled towards the center of gravity, and finally cut open, which is a beautiful Ruyi purple potato roll.Because the two kinds of skins are steamed in advance, they can be eaten directly after being rolled.Ginkgo sprinkled powdered sugar on it, and picked up one of the irregular corners that had been cut off and handed it to Hei Xiao.

"I haven't eaten it yet, so I want to reward you. The shape is not good-looking, but the taste guarantees that you won't hate it."

In the mouth, the glutinous rice skin is soft and human, and the sweetness of purple sweet potato and the sour-sweetness of green peach and plum sauce are ingeniously blended together.The fragrances of the two fruits are mixed together, which is surprisingly harmonious.With the embellishment of powdered sugar on the surface, this Ruyi purple potato roll made Hei Xiao, who doesn't like sweets very much, nod repeatedly: "It's delicious! Although it's sweet, it's not greasy, and the sour taste is just right. There are also green peaches and plums. It smells so good. Sure enough, it is not astringent."

Bai Guo returned and took one for himself, and took a sip.

"I knew it would be like this. Hehe, Xiaohua and Nannan will come later, they will definitely like it! By the way, how many fish did you drop?"

Hei Xiao pulled Bai Guo out, went to the well in the yard, pointed to the wooden barrel: "Three big fish, two small fish, and some shrimps. I even touched a clam for you."

"Wow! The harvest is so rich! It's only been an hour! Hei Xiao, you are really amazing! The porridge in the pot has been cooked, and now I just pack a fish and cut it into fillets. I don't know when they will come over, it should be earlier That's good, these things are best eaten when they are still hot."
