"Generally speaking, the first step in learning how to cook starts with learning how to chop vegetables." Cheng Xi seriously took out a radish as thick as an arm and put it on the cutting board. years."

Rong Rao was sitting upright, her small face turned serious, she looked at Cheng Xi seriously, and nodded while listening.

"This radish must be sliced ​​as thin as paper, and each slice must be the same thickness before cooking." Cheng Xi put the box with seven kitchen knives aside, and quickly slid his fingers across the inside of the box. He stopped in front of the third knife, "Let me demonstrate it to you first."

"Okay!" Rong Rao looked at Cheng Xi expectantly.

Since coming to the Immortal World for so long, Cheng Xi has been able to pull out only the first two kitchen knives, the hibiscus knife for carving and the scale knife for processing fish, although for Cheng Xi, no matter what knife is in his heart, it is the same. Yes, but after all, it is easy to use seven kitchen knives. If you shred the ingredients, only the third green silk knife can cut the thinnest and thinnest.

Cheng Xi clenched the handle of the knife tightly, as if using all his strength, but unexpectedly pulled it out lightly and delicately, and almost staggered and fell due to excessive force.

"It's so easy to pull it out?" Cheng Xi looked at the green silk knife as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand in disbelief, and tried to pull out the fourth Pao Ding knife, but the Pao Ding knife was tightly inserted in the scabbard. Can't pull it out.

Rong Rao stood up from her seat and looked around Cheng Xi, looking thoughtful.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Xi was still a little embarrassed to be sized up by the little girl.

"When you pulled out this knife just now, your aura suddenly reached the pure body stage. Is this your spiritual weapon?" Rong Rao stretched out his hand towards the Qingsi knife, and exclaimed as soon as his fingertips touched it With a sound, he withdrew his hand.

Rong Rao swung her finger in front of Cheng Xi, and a thin and long wound appeared on the fingertip, but it healed before the blood flowed out. She snorted and said, "You have a big temper Yes, but it can even cut me, it is a good spiritual weapon."

"Pure body stage?" Cheng Xi recalled for a while and then remembered that the fairy world divides immortals with different abilities into five stages, among which is the pure body stage. He felt the difference in his body, but it was just that his body was much lighter. His eyes and ears became more sensitive, but other than that, he didn't suddenly learn any spells.

"That's not right, our Dragon Clan was born in the Yukong stage, I think you are an adult, how can you be in the pure body stage?" Rong Rao found something wrong and asked directly.

"I encountered some troubles a few days ago." Cheng Xi could only answer vaguely, raised the green silk knife and shook it, and quickly changed the subject, "Let me demonstrate to you first."

Rong Rao looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, and could indeed feel the strong dragon aura on Cheng Xi's body, and even an indistinct coercion. This was the coercion that only dragons with higher strength than her could emit. Rong Rao put it down. Heart, the seaside city is not so easy for the monks to come in.

Cheng Xi let out a breath, feeling a little flustered, but he still held down the fat radish with his fingers. The green silk knife swung up and down in his hand, and he saw a flash of white light that had already been cut more than ten times.

"If the ingredients are uneven, the heat will be uncontrollable when stir-frying, and the dish will be scorched or overcooked." Cheng Xi's finger lightly touched the seemingly unchanged radish , the radish shook like ripples from the tail, and then pieces of transparent radish fell onto the cutting board.

"I'll try it too." Rong Rao stood in front of the cutting board enthusiastically, and didn't dare to touch the green silk knife again. Instead, he took a kitchen knife casually, held down the remaining half of the radish, and only listened to it. After a few swishes, the radish was cut into slices, which looked exactly the same as Cheng Xi's.

"This..." Cheng Xi was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He was able to cut out something that others could only cut out in more than ten years. Is this a talent?

Instead, Rong Rao picked up a piece of radish dissatisfied, and took a photo of a huge luminous pearl, and could clearly see the radiance of the luminous pearl, "If I were in the Shenzang period, I could cut it a little thinner."

It was only then that Cheng Xi remembered that people in the fairy world cannot be compared with mortal people. After all, they are all immortals and of course they are different from mortals.

"It seems that you don't need to practice knife skills." Cheng Xi took the carrot slice from Rong Rao's hand and spread it on the palm of his hand, "This can't be wasted."

Just as he was thinking about what kind of dishes radish can make, a black fish that was only the size of a palm slowly swam through the sea under his feet. Cheng Xi pointed to the innocent passing fish and asked, "Can you catch it?"

"Of course." Rong Rao clapped his hands, and the transparent stone brick below suddenly cracked a gap.

"Ah? Help—" Cheng Xi didn't prepare at all, and his feet became empty, and he fell directly into the water, without even having time to call out for help.

Cheng Xi didn't know how to swim, so he thought he was going to drown in the water, but after entering the water, he found that another thin blue shield covered his whole body and suspended in the water, without touching any sea water.Cheng Xi felt that the source of the shield was in his chest, reached out and groped, and found a scale in his close-fitting pocket.

"Yinglong's scales?" Cheng Xi stroked the patterns on the scales, and seeing Rong Rao swimming over, he quickly stuffed the scales.

Rong Rao was like a fish in water, holding the fish in both hands, and swam to Cheng Xi's side, "I caught it."

"Then let's go up." Although Cheng Xi was protected by a shield, Cheng Xi still felt uneasy, and always felt that stepping on the ground would make him feel at ease.

Rong Rao nodded, and as soon as her feet came out of the water, she lowered her head and said to Cheng Xi who was still in the water, "Come up quickly."

Cheng Xi imitated Rong Rao's posture, and stuck his head out of the water with great difficulty. Standing on the transparent stone brick again, his legs were still trembling, "Can I remind you next time?"

"Okay~" Rong Rao clapped his hands, and the crack closed again.

Cheng Xi walked up to the chopping board, taking every step carefully, for fear of falling into the water again. The black fish that caused this was lying on it with its eyes wide open, trying to jump up with its tail flicking.

"I'll make radish and fish balls." Cheng Xi liked to eat a bite of seafood. Now that he is in the seaside city, he can swim everywhere with seafood. He has already thought up many menus in his mind to try, but this seaside city is very good. There is only one bad thing, that is, Yinglong is not here, every time Cheng Xi sees the fresh seafood, he will think how good it would be if Yinglong is here.

Cheng Xi was full of thoughts, but the things under his hands were not dull at all. He removed the scales, heads and tails of the snakeheaded fish on the cutting board. The fattest belly of the fish was cut into pieces. The pink and tender fish meat, Cheng Xi seemed to have vented all the fright he had suffered from falling into the water to the innocent black fish, and the fish meat was cut into pulpy fish meat under the knife.

Untreated fish will have a fishy smell. Cheng Xi took out a piece of ginger, finely chopped it and mixed it into the fish paste, mixed it evenly, dipped it in flour, kneaded it into round balls and put it aside.

"After adding ginger, the smell of fish will be reduced." Cheng Xi remembered that there was Rong Rao, who was learning cooking, and said a little common sense.

After the water in the pot boils, add sliced ​​radish and ginger, and wait until the sliced ​​radish becomes transparent before putting the fish balls in.

"That's good." Cheng Xi covered the pot for a while, and when he opened it again, all the round fish balls surfaced, and finally added chopped green onion and salt.

Cheng Xi fished out a bowl of radish and fish balls and handed it to Rong Rao, "Try it."

Rong Rao just took the bowl and was about to taste it when he suddenly felt someone entered the house, hesitantly put down the fragrant radish and fish balls, and said to Cheng Xi: "My father is back, I'll go out first , you stay here and don’t come out.”

Cheng Xi nodded to express his understanding. After all, no matter which girl's father came home and saw that there was an extra man in the family, he would react violently.

"Father!" Rong Rao happily embraced Rong Ye's arm when seeing his father who had been away for a long time come back, "Father, I miss you so much these few days."

"I'm afraid you don't want me to come back, you won't be forced to practice by me." Although Rong Ye was serious, he softened a little when he saw his only daughter.

"No, I haven't given up on training." Rong Rao quickly acted like a baby because of the most troublesome thing about training.

Rong Ye keenly sensed a familiar aura from his daughter, he patted Rong Rao's shoulder and asked, "Rao Rao, did you meet anyone during the few days I was away?"

Rong Rao stammered, "No...no, really not!"

Rong Ye has lived for thousands of years, his eyelashes are empty, he saw through Rong Rao's lies at a glance, and his huge spiritual consciousness covered the entire seaside city at once, he did not expect to find the source of that breath at home.

"Father, what are you doing there?" Seeing that Rong Ye was going to the room where Cheng Xi was, Rong Rao boldly stopped Rong Ye, "I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, why don't my father teach me a little bit?" ?”

"Rao Rao, get out of the way." Rong Ye was not willing to do anything to his daughter, so he could only say nicely.

Rong Ye's self-righteous voice was terrifying in Rong Rao's eyes, she moved to get out of the way, followed Rong Ye and prayed that Cheng Xi would not be found.

Backfired, Rong Ye walked straight to the room, opened the door and walked in, just bumped into Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi was still chewing the delicious fish balls, and stared blankly at Rong Ye who walked in.

"You're not human." Rong Ye is not a foolish Rong Rao, and instantly saw that the dragon aura emanating from Cheng Xi's side did not belong to him, and Cheng Xi involuntarily flew towards him without any movement. .

Cheng Xi wasn't afraid at all, he was still thinking about the bowl of radish and fish balls that fell to the ground and was ruined.

"Father, you must have misunderstood him, he is Qinglong." Rong Rao anxiously explained from the side.

Rong Ye grabbed Cheng Xi's neck and pulled out a scale from his chest. He narrowed his eyes and uttered a name: "Ying Long."
