Fairyland Food Column

In the deepest part of Guanghan Palace, there is a sacred laurel tree. Sitting under the sacred tree, you will hear fairy music and Zen sounds. It is said that many great powers are enlightened under the sacred tree of laurel.

Chang Li has been sitting under the laurel tree for nearly 100 years. He has not moved, and there is a thin layer of sweet-scented osmanthus piled up on his shoulders. At this time, he opened his eyes and looked at a point in the distance.

"Senior Brother Chang, do you understand?" Yin Cixin, who cared very much about the Acting Palace Master, also stood not far from the Sacred Laurel Tree and watched Chang Li for a hundred years. Whenever he saw Chang Li's movement, he quickly asked.

"I see the future." Chang Li spoke slowly. He hadn't spoken since he sat under the laurel tree. His voice was a little hoarse and deep, not as clear as it used to be.

Yin Cixin waited for Chang Li to say the follow-up, but there was only a moment of silence, and she couldn't help asking, "Will there be Guanghan Palace in the future?"

"If I'm here, Guanghan Palace is here." Chang Li stood up.

"Where is Senior Brother Chang going?" Yin Cixin said when Chang Li passed by.

Chang Li suddenly smiled, "Yue Chan has stayed outside long enough, I'll pick her up."

Yin Cixin was almost shaken by this smile. She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said calmly, "Yuechan betrayed Guanghan Palace and betrayed the secrets of the palace. Brother Chang is going to take her back to the palace?"

Chang Li restrained his smile, "Compassion, you know it yourself."

Cheng Xi took the freshly baked pot and spatula, and patted the bottom of the pot with the spatula in satisfaction, making a crisp sound, "The craftsmanship is not bad, let's use it alive."

Yan Qi felt that the thing she made was a bit strange, and it had no similarities with the magic weapon she had seen before, so she couldn't help thinking again, "This streamer silver is worth a lot of spiritual stones, I have saved it for a long time, and the average person If you want to make do with it, you can’t make do with it.”

Cheng Xi opened the storage bag and looked through the harvest inside.

A cluster of wheat, five or six potatoes, a piece of ginger, a handful of green peppers, and a handful of soybeans. The largest area is a pig's hind leg.

Of course, these things have other names in the fairy world.

"I'll let you see the usefulness of the pot when I get back later."

Do you want to make fried pork with green peppers or stewed pork feet with potatoes?

"Xi...Xixi!" Cheng Xi received a warm hug as soon as he entered the door.

Ying Long hugged Cheng Xi's thigh with his white and tender arms, looked up at Cheng Xi, and called his name vaguely, "Xixi!"

"Call me brother." Cheng Xi educated, not knowing where this kid got it, bent over and hugged Ying Long, pinching his chubby cheeks, "Don't call me that."

But Ying Long ignored him, and just called himself, drooling when he squeezed his cheek, "Xixi! Hungry!"

Cheng Xi calculated in his mind that it had been nearly an hour and a half since he went out. The child was growing up and eating five meals a day, so he was naturally hungry.

Of course, Cheng Xi didn't think that people in the fairy world didn't need to eat at all. He put down Ying Long and was busy making food.

"It's a pity that there is no soy sauce." Cheng Xi looked at the ingredients on the table in front of him and said sadly, "I think this fairy world is very bad, not as good as the world."

"Brother Cheng, what are you talking about?" Yan Qi began to retort when she heard it, "Isn't my generation of cultivators dedicated to seeking eternal life from the Dao? Brother Cheng, you are so unstable that you are easy to be invaded by demons."

But he never thought of cultivating immortality!

Cheng Xi swallowed the words in his throat, "Don't talk, let's cook first."

Cheng Xi planned to make a stir-fried pork with green peppers. Without soy sauce, many meat dishes could not be prepared, so he had to make do with it.

He took out the hind leg, cut off a piece of meat that was half the size of a palm and half fat and thin, cut a part of the fat into cubes of the same size, and then cut the other part into three-layer slices, that is, the proportion of fat and lean meat was just right, not greasy and not sticky.

"Light a fire." Cheng Xi unceremoniously ordered Yan Qi, who was waiting to eat, put the pot on the flame suspended in the air, preheated it for a while, and waited until the pot started to smoke before putting it in the pot that had been prepared earlier in the morning. The diced fat meat, the diced fat meat with distinct grains made a sizzling sound when it touched the bottom of the pot, followed by a smell of meat.

Cheng Xi held the spatula and pressed the diced fat to slide on the bottom of the pot until it turned into a puddle of oily water. He weighed the pot and poured most of the lard into a small bottle and put it away. The meat was put into the pot, and the spatula was flipping and frying.

"Xiangxiang!" Ying Long stood aside and looked at Cheng Xi eagerly.

Cheng Xi quickly cut up the green peppers on the side and sprinkled them into the pot, stir-fried them, and finally added salt.

"How does it taste?" Cheng Xi picked up a piece of meat and blew hot air on it for Ying Long to taste.

Ying Long puffed his cheeks and chewed, "Good! Delicious!"

"Brother Cheng!" Seeing that it was finally done, Yan Qi, who was forgotten by the side, withdrew the spiritual power that had been supporting the flames, and said shyly, "I want to try it too."

Cheng Xi tasted the taste himself first. Although there is no soy sauce to enhance the color, the meat of this rhinoceros is different from pork. It has a umami taste. The soft meat turns into gravy when you enter it. This taste is too delicious, if you eat too much, you will get bored, but the green peppers in it solve this problem. The crisp green peppers and delicious meat slices are just right for one bite and the gravy is full of green peppers mouth.

"Not bad!" Cheng Xi involuntarily praised himself. The ingredients in this fairy world are indeed different from those in the world. Even if there are some seasonings missing, the taste is very outstanding, and you will feel full after eating a little.

What would happen if the seasoning was made out?

Cheng Xi tried his best to recall how soy sauce and vinegar were made, but he could only remember the vague methods. After all, he couldn't do all the things he learned to cook by himself, and there were many people who made soy sauce and vinegar in his family.

Just as Cheng Xi was wondering whether the soy sauce was made from soybeans, there was a knock on the door.

Yan Qi touched the oil on the corner of her mouth and ran to open the door, "Who is it?" He asked as he opened the door, looked up at the person coming, and then he stammered, "Chang...chang...Chang Gongzhu!"

Yan Qi has settled in Yuchan City for nearly ten years, and has never seen Chang Li's real person before, but he has to see Chang Li's portrait at least three times a day at the nun's house in Yuchan City. The money-making method that Li could not figure out for women's college students, Chang Li's portrait of hundreds of spirit stones is often in short supply.

Cheng Xi thought that the one called "Princess" must be a beauty, so he looked over curiously—it was indeed a beauty, but it was a man.

"My pet has been away from home for many years." Chang Li walked in while explaining, and Yan Qi, the owner, didn't seem to stop her at all, "I'll take her home."

Chang Li walked straight to the front of the steps, looked at Yuechan lying on the couch, and stretched out a jade-like hand towards Yuechan, "Yuechan, come back to the palace with me."

Yuechan still lay motionless on the couch, while Chang Li waited for Yuechan with unchanged expression. After a long time, he realized something was wrong.

"You can't change shape." Chang Li's face was a little gloomy, and his slender and white fingers pressed on Yuechan's furry back, slowly smoothing the hair along the spine, and his voice softened, "What happened outside?" ?”

Yue Chan didn't reply, but her body trembled involuntarily when Chang Li's finger was pressed on her.

"Rabbit! Tutu!" Ying Long realized that the atmosphere around him was not right after his mouth was full of oil. The Tutu, who had always been his own, was touched by a strange man. It was patted on Chang Liyue's white robe, "Tutu!"

"Ying..." Cheng Xi's first feeling was that this good-looking person was not easy to mess with, so he quickly picked up Ying Long's clothes and put them aside.

Chang Li saw a small handprint on the moon-white robe, but he didn't care, and he didn't underestimate Ying Long's appearance as a three or four-year-old child. He explained gently, "This is my rabbit."

Ying Long looked at Chang Li blankly and said, "Tutu, mine, yours."

Chang Li couldn't help but smile when he saw that the little dragon, who had just opened his mind and changed shape, couldn't figure out what it meant, and was always attached to Yuechan, "Since you helped me bring Yuechan back to Yuchan City, it's me, Guanghan." As a distinguished guest of the Palace, why don’t you come to my Guanghan Palace and pick another Moon Rabbit?”

Ying Long tugged at Cheng Xi's sleeve and said to Chang Li, "Okay, let's go together."

·

Guanghan Palace is not on the moon, but on a high mountain outside Yuchan City.

Cheng Xi also enjoyed the feeling of flying in the air as a fairy for a while, but his legs were soft when the soles of his feet touched the ground.

Chang Li hugged the moon cicada and introduced the scenery of Guanghan Palace to Cheng Xi in a very approachable manner, "There is a laurel tree in Guanghan Palace. Although it cannot bear fairy fruits, there is laurel honey every hundred years, which can make people's spirits clear. , you won’t be disturbed by demons from outside the territory when practicing, and you can taste how it tastes later.”

In fact, Yan Qi is not a real fairy in Cheng Xi's eyes. After all, Yan Qi looks very down-to-earth, and there is no difference between ordinary people except for a little magic, but Chang Li is full of fairy spirit, even though she looks approachable on the outside. It still gave Cheng Xi the idea of ​​wanting to confess him, Cheng Xi replied dryly, "It's a great honor."

Compared with Yuchan City, which has a strong mortal breath, Guanghan Palace seems to be the real fairy palace. Cheng Xi can't see the spiritual energy in Guanghan Palace that has almost turned into liquid, and he can feel his body is much lighter.

There are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in Guanghan Palace. At first glance, the branches and leaves are made of ice crystals. When an sweet-scented osmanthus flower falls on the hand, it immediately melts into water droplets. Cheng Xi rubbed his hands, and the sweet-scented osmanthus flower melted The place is a little cold.

"Senior Brother Chang." Guanghan Palace seems to only accept female apprentices, except for Chang Li, Cheng Xi has only seen women passing by in a hurry to salute Chang Li.

"Compassionate." Chang Li ordered, "This is a distinguished guest, please treat me well, I have something else to do, so I'm neglecting it." The last half of the sentence was said to Cheng Xi and Ying Long.

Yin Cixin, who was stopped by Chang Li, looked at Yue Chan in Chang Li's arms with a strange look, "Senior Brother Chang, you really..."

Before he finished speaking, Chang Li interrupted, "Compassionate, entertain the guests first."

Yin Cixin glared at Yuechan unwillingly, and her originally pretty face became distorted. After seeing Chang Li holding Yuechan and leaving, she didn't look back at Cheng Xi until her back disappeared from sight. He said bluntly, "Please follow me."
