Fairyland Food Column

Cheng Xi crossed the boundary gate and landed on an altar. He looked around and saw countless people coming and going, his ears were filled with the sound of bargaining, and a strong smell of sweet-scented osmanthus penetrated into his nostrils.

What season is it here?Previously, peach blossoms were in full bloom in Xiaolan Mountain, and there was the fragrance of sweet osmanthus here.

Cheng Xi, who had been on the altar for a long time, was stared at by others for a while, and hurried down from the altar, thinking that the fairy world is always different from the human world.

"You don't have enough aura, so I'm afraid you won't be able to bear fruit? It's cheaper, a spirit stone, I'll take it back and plant it for my little apprentice to play with."

"You are not being kind. These are the fairy lotus seeds that I have worked so hard to find from the Nine Nether Realm. That is the birthplace of the Nine Nether Brilliant Lotus. There may be the blood of the Nine Nether Brilliant Lotus!"

Cheng Xi couldn't help laughing as he walked past the two immortals who were bargaining. It turned out that the immortals were no different from those peddlers in the world.

"This little brother! Wait!" Cheng Xi also had no goal, and walked casually, suddenly hearing someone shouting behind him, stopped and looked back.

"What's the matter with this brother?" Cheng Xi just came to Yuchan City and was unfamiliar with the place, so he didn't expect anyone to look for him.

"Little brother, do you want to sell the rabbit in your hand?" The visitor stared at the sleeping Moon Cicada in Cheng Xi's arms, and asked urgently, "I offer three spirit stones."

Cheng Xi could probably guess that spirit stones are the common currency in the fairy world, so he shook his head, "Not for sale."

"Hey, little brother, don't go." Yan Qi hurriedly stopped Cheng Xi who was about to leave, "You just ascended, right? You don't know much about Yuchan City, do you? I can introduce you a little bit, No charge!"

Cheng Xi's heart tightened, thinking that the immortal had noticed the difference, so he pretended to be serious and said, "How did you know that I just ascended?"

Yan Qi's target is the moon cicada in Cheng Xi's arms. Naturally, she tried her best to explain, "The rules of heaven in the lower realm are broken and the aura is mixed, while the aura in the upper realm is pure, which can be seen at a glance."

"I just flew up, but I don't understand anything." Cheng Xi said calmly, "Cheng Xi."

"My name is Yan Qi." Yan Qi introduced herself, glanced at Ying Long who was sleeping on Cheng Xi's shoulder, and laughed a few times, "It's the first time I've seen you flying ascension with a family. The rules of the upper realm are more comprehensive, often spells that can overwhelm mountains and seas in the lower realm can't even move a stone in the upper realm, and geniuses with outstanding talents in the lower realm become mortals when they ascend."

Cheng Xi, who didn't know anything about magical auras at all, put on a face and said, "No wonder I..." with a look of unfinished thought.

"It's okay." Yan Qi, who had just ascended, patted Cheng Xi's shoulder, "After you absorb the aura from the upper realm to cleanse your body, you can practice again. The upper realm is divided into fading, pure body, and Yukong." , Shenzang, and Nirvana are five realms, and each realm has a nine-layered heaven. In this upper realm with comprehensive rules and regulations, we can only fly when we reach the realm of Yukong. Usually, we need to walk on two legs almost like ordinary people. Walking in the upper realm There are more roads than the hundreds of years I have been in the lower realm combined."

Cheng Xi glanced at Yan Qi's appearance, he was a young man in his early twenties, and he couldn't tell that he was hundreds of years old.

"This Yuchan City is protected by Guanghan Palace." Yan Qi took a deep breath, and finally brought the topic to the point, "Guanghan Palace was founded by Fairy Chang'e, but Fairy Chang'e practiced in seclusion hundreds of years ago. At present, the acting lord of Guanghan Palace is Chang Li Xianjun, who is the dream lover of all the female fairies in this area. Chang Li Xianjun likes to hold a Lunar Jade Rabbit in his arms, so in our Yuchan City, there is a rabbit like you in your arms. Rabbits with the blood of the Taiyin are hard to find."

Cheng Xi looked at Yan Qi with a half-smile, "It's said that money is hard to find, but you still want to buy three spirit stones?"

It was only then that Yan Qi realized that she had misspoken the truth. She slapped her thigh and said decisively, "You rabbit's Taiyin blood is too thin. If it weren't for my keen eyes, I still can't see it. I sold us [-]-[-]."

"I don't sell it." Cheng Xi resolutely refused, "Thank you for your introduction, where is the biggest restaurant in Yuchan City?" Cheng Xi thinks that he will stay in the fairyland for a while, and he still needs to find a job to support his family.

"Restaurants?" Yan Qi was stunned, "Yuchan City only has teahouses, not restaurants, and Mingxin Teahouse requires at least one hundred spirit stones."

Cheng Xi took a look at Yan Qi's eyes that you can't afford, but he was not angry, "Who said I'm here for tea? I'm going to ask if we can hire a chef."

Yan Qi, who has practiced since she was a child, has vaguely heard about what a chef does. He hesitated and said, "You learned Taoism through cooking?"

"I just know how to cook a few dishes." Cheng Xi said modestly.

"But we have already grown the grain, and we don't need to eat anything except spiritual things and fairy flowers." Yan Qi said, "People who have a heavy appetite cannot achieve the Tao."

Cheng Xi looked at Yan Qi with pity, "If you can't eat it, what fun is there in your life?"

"Before I started bigu, I always ate Lingmi grown in Lingtian." Yan Qi recalled that the tasteless Lingmi had been eaten for ten years. At the beginning, it was because Lingmi was too unpalatable that she worked hard to practice every day. Those who started bigu early, the words they said were not convincing, "I still eat fairy fruits and flowers, and drink fairy tea."

But that was all before the lower realm had ascended, and Yan Qi didn't expect that he, who had been in the lower realm, would turn into a resource for daily cultivation when he came to the upper realm. It's not enough, where there are fairy fruits and flowers to eat, it's really impermanent to hold up a handful of bitter tears.

"You just eat grass, flowers, and fruits?" Cheng Xi's eyes became more subtle, "It's really hard work for you to grow so long."

Yan Qi replied subconsciously, "No hard work, no hard work."

"That's good. In order to thank you for introducing me to these customs, let me cook you a dish." Cheng Xi said.

"Ah? Good." Yan Qi, who was reminded of the sad thing, nodded in a daze.

·

However, the reality is that the place where Yan Qi lives has neither kitchen utensils nor ingredients.

"This is the spirit grass and spirit beast that I went out to find today." Yan Qi was aroused by Cheng Xi's curiosity, and also wanted to taste the taste of the food in his mouth, so she gritted her teeth and emptied the contents of the storage bag Come out, "Can you cook?"

Cheng Xi put Yue Chan and Ying Long on the couch, and picked from a table of things, most of which he didn't know and didn't know if they were edible.

"This." Cheng Xi picked up a garlic, "Is this also a panacea?"

Yan Qi is neither a spiritual planter nor an alchemist. I don't know if it is, but he said vaguely, "I felt the spiritual energy, so I pulled it back."

"Then this is also a panacea?" Cheng Xi rummaged through and found another bamboo shoot that was stained with dirt.

"This is the elixir, white jade shoots, which can be used to refine weapons after growing into white jade bamboo shoots." Yan Qi looked at the white jade shoots distressedly, and reminded, "It's worth a lot of spirit stones."

"Okay, just these." Cheng Xi stretched out his hand towards the bunch of dandelions.

"Don't! This is the fairy cattail!" Yan Qi reminded too late, Cheng Xi had already picked up the fairy cattail that looked exactly like a dandelion, Yan Qi's eyes widened, "You, why are you all right?"

"What can I do?" Cheng Xi said amusedly, "You are too fussy."

"This is fairy cattail grass. It lives by sucking the aura from monks' spirit beasts. If you get on it, you can only get rid of it until you die. But this thing is a blind medicine for refining the spirit-gathering pill." Yan Qi added, "It's pretty good. Dear."

"Is there a bowl? Is there any water?" Cheng Xi didn't feel any discomfort and said bluntly.

"Yes." Yan Qi took out the mountain and river bowl, the natal spirit tool he brought from the lower realm, and a palm-sized bowl was engraved with a picture of mountains and rivers. Yan Qi sighed, "I used it to block it back then." Heavenly Tribulation, I didn’t expect that even a spirit stone is worthless in the fairy world.”

Cheng Xi took the bowl of mountains and rivers, and praised the paintings of mountains and rivers on the bowl, with a majestic air, "Do you have a bigger one?"

Yan Qi touched the wall of the bowl, and the Shanhe bowl immediately became as big as a washbasin, and stretched out her hand to draw a few complicated spells to condense a stream of clear spring in the bowl.

Cheng Xi washed all the materials, opened the wooden box and tried to pull out the knives one by one, but he could only pull out the Furong knife.Cheng Xi removed the heads and roots of the celestiaceae, leaving the tenderest part aside, and used a hibiscus knife to cut the shell of the white jade shoots, peeling off the skin to reveal the white jade-like inner core.

"Your knife is not ordinary." Yan Qi commented, "The shell of the white jade shoot is so hard that I have to spend a lot of effort. I didn't expect you to break it so easily."

"Family." Cheng Xi gave a brief introduction, and after handling all the ingredients, he began to instruct Yan Qi, "Change the water and heat it up."

Seeing Cheng Chengxi showing her hands, Yan Qi quickly followed his instructions.

When the water was heated to boiling hot, Cheng Xi put the fairy cattail grass and white jade shoots into it and blanched them until they were fully cooked before picking them up. Yan Qi poured the water in the Shanhe bowl into the size of an ordinary bowl. Cut the cattail grass into sections, cut the white jade shoots into filaments of the same size, put them together in the Shanhe bowl, take out the fine salt you carry with you, sprinkle it on and mix well.

The last step is to break off a clove of garlic, smash it with the blade of the hibiscus knife, cut it into finely diced pieces, and sprinkle it on the surface.

"White Jade and Emerald." Cheng Xi immediately thought of a very elegant name, even if it was just a salad of fairy cattail grass and bamboo shoots, "It would be great if there was sesame oil."

"Can this be eaten?" Yan Qi didn't quite believe that this thing could be eaten seeing Cheng Xi mixing all the ingredients for refining medicine and equipment.

"Yes." Cheng Xi picked up some celery jelly with a hibiscus knife and tasted it. The celestial cattail had a bit of bitter taste, but after a brief bitter taste, it was indescribably cool and delicious. The white jade shoots were slightly sweet and crisp, adding Add fine salt to enhance the taste, mixed together delicious and refreshing, "Not bad."

Yan Qi carefully tasted a little first, and felt the rich aura erupting from her mouth as soon as she took it in. Yan Qi felt that the aura was wrapped in her own aura and digested slowly. The strange thing is that this aura is different from the aura of the outside world Unlike, it is completely effortless to absorb.

"How?" Cheng Xi asked confidently.

After digesting the aura, Yan Qi opened his eyes. Without saying a word, he ate all the cold bamboo shoots in the Shanhe bowl in one go.

"I used to live in vain." Yan Qi's first reaction was this, and then he said, "I'm going to break through the Ninth Heaven of Fading."
