After the genius was abolished, he became my Taoist companion

183. Pork Rib Banquet

Tan Duzhi and the others sat around the small round table, and it was only now that they could calm down and have a sip of hot tea.It was raining lightly outside, and Tan Duzhi's hair was covered with thin raindrops. Under the light of the night pearl, each raindrop reflected a warm light.

Ye Huangui likes Tan Duzhi's hair. Old Tan's long hair is smooth and dense. When he is at home, he always touches his paws.Now that he saw raindrops on his hair, he didn't want to miss the chance to flirt with Old Tan.So he took out a towel and helped Old Tan wipe his hair carefully: "Have you found all the fellow Taoists trapped in the Infinite Swamp?"

Tan Duzhi took a sip of tea, and warmth rose from his stomach: "Good luck, I found them all."

Wen Ruyu sighed: "Now that we've saved them, won't we have to fight each other in the ruins of Hongmeng? Tianyi just finds trouble for nothing, so let's just sneak here by himself, and bring so many people with great fanfare, and he will cry when the time comes. "

There are only so many treasures in the ruins. There are thousands of people who came this time, and one more person means one more competitor.Outside the ruins, this group of monks can still talk about morality. After entering the ruins, whether they can get the Lingbao or not depends on their ability.

Wen Ruyu didn't want to think about the bad people and bad things he had encountered: "Fortunately, we came here this time for the soul-nourishing grass, and if we picked enough soul-nourishing grass for Shao Mingche, our mission is complete .As for what other people do, we don’t care.”

Lou Xiaolou nodded at the side: "Yeah!"

Wen Ruyu glanced at Lou Xiaolou: "What do you agree with, you are here to join in the fun."

Lou Xiaolou stared back: "Isn't that just right? Your opponent just happens to be one less."

Seeing that the two were about to pinch each other, Ye Huangui hurriedly distracted them: "I'm going to fry salt and pepper pork ribs!"

Wen Ruyu and Lou Xiaolou's eyes lit up: "Spare ribs!"

Tan Duzhi stood up: "I'm here to help." As soon as he stood up, Ye Huangui held him down: "You've been tired for several days, please sit down and rest. It's just fried ribs, you'll be able to eat soon." good."

The ribs ready for deep frying have been marinated in salt and wine long enough for the last step: battering.Ye Huangui added three egg yolks to the wooden basin, and then added starch and flour little by little.After stirring well, each rib was covered with a thin layer of paste, and the ribs became sticky.

At this time, the oil in the small iron pot on the stove is hot enough, and when the tip of the chopsticks is put down in the pot, large oily flowers will appear in the pot.

Ye Huangui threw pieces of pork ribs into the pot along the side of the pot, only to hear the sound of deep frying, and white oily smoke rose from the pot.The pink and white pork ribs quickly sank to the bottom of the pot after being put into the pot, and the oil blossoms in the pot were tumbling and lively.

Ye Huangui put the ribs into the pot in a leisurely manner. After a cup of tea, the first ribs into the pot had turned into a beautiful golden color.He was just about to pick up the ribs when he saw Tan Duzhi standing by the pot with long chopsticks.

The speed of Tan Zhenren's chopsticks was fast and steady, and he picked up pieces of golden ribs from the oil pan and put them on a large plate aside.

Ye Huangui smiled and said, "Didn't I let you have a good rest?"

Tan Duzhi said softly, "I'm not tired."

Lou Xiaolou looked at the two men enviously, and said with emotion: "I always thought it was a troublesome thing to find a Taoist companion, but when I saw Xiao Yezi and Tan Zhenren, I suddenly wanted a Taoist companion."

Wen Ruyu smiled and said, "It's not easy for Master Lou to find a Taoist partner? As long as Tiangonglou posts a post, those who want to be a Taoist partner with you have to line up outside the mountain gate from your main hall."

Lou Xiaolou shook his head firmly: "No, no, those people don't want to become Taoist companions with me because they like me, they just like my identity."

Wen Ruyu pointed to Tan Duzhi and Ye Huangui: "It's wrong for you to say that, do you know how Lao Tan and Xiao Yezi got together?"

Lou Xiaolou said subconsciously: "I probably heard that Tan Zhenzhen recruited relatives, and the hydrangea was picked up by Xiao Yezi."

Wen Ruyu nodded: "Yes, you can follow suit. Maybe there is a handsome and dedicated person who received your hydrangea?"

Lou Xiaolou's eyeballs almost rolled into the sky: "Bah!"

There is a formation in the mule cart that can draw the oily smoke out of the cart, but the smell of fried pork ribs is too fragrant, and the aroma wafts from the outside again.It caused Lou Xiaolou's saliva to almost drop: "It smells so good."

Ye Huangui finally put the last piece of pork ribs into the frying pan, and he told Tan Duzhi: "Old Tan, help me look at the frying pan first, and I'll see if the sweet and sour pork ribs are ready."

When I opened the pot, I saw that the soup in the pot was almost exhausted.Thick soup hangs on the ribs with thick oil and red sauce, and the sweet and sour taste is tangy.

Ye Huangui put the sweet and sour pork ribs on a large plate, and the meaty ribs trembled tremblingly.The rich gravy seems to break through the sauce package, and the ribs are not pure lean, but with some fat.It is fresh and delicious at first glance, and it will greatly increase the appetite.

Wen Ruyu became active in a rare way: "Come, come, I'll serve the food!"

As he said that, he stood up and rushed to the stove in two steps. Before Ye Huangui could stabilize the plate, he had already pinched a piece of pork ribs with brittle bones and stuffed them into his mouth.

The meat of the little fragrant pig is fresh and tender, and the meat is fully flavored after stewing two cups of tea.One bite is sweet and sour, moderately fat but not greasy, and the tender meat still retains a good chewiness.

The pork ribs that Wen Ruyu ate had brittle bones inside, and he chewed on the bones until his mouth was full of oil: "It's delicious~ Little leaf, why didn't you cook us sweet and sour meat before?"

Ye Huangui said innocently: "You and Lao Tan both like spicy food, isn't this to cater for your taste? Today this sweet and sour pork ribs is specially made for Xiaolou."

Lou Xiaolou immediately stood up: "Did you hear that, Xiao Yezi made this specially for me!"

Just as Wen Ruyu was holding a big bowl to prevent Lou Xiaolou from robbing the ribs, there was a call for fortune from outside the door.

Wen Ruyu's complexion changed: "Tianyi and the others are here to eat again!"

Wen Ruyu was right, the ones who came were Tianyi and the others.Since the last time they ate the pickled fish cooked by Ye Huangui, whenever Ye Huangui cooked, the three of them would stop by to eat.The three old men eat more than anyone else!

Wen Ruyu couldn't bear it anymore and asked them to bring out the spirit stones, but they really brought the spirit stones!

As soon as Chang Qing stood on the pedal, he poked his head and burst into laughter: "Yo? What about the stewed ribs? It seems that we came at the right time!"

It's really time for them to come, because not only the sweet and sour pork ribs are ready, but also the steamed pork ribs on the stove.

Open the lid of the pot, and the steamed ribs, which are full of a steamer, are already crispy and rotten.Ye Huangui sprinkled a handful of green onions and some white sesame seeds on the steamer, and this dish is ready to be served on the table!

The flavor of steamed pork ribs is completely different from that of sweet and sour pork ribs. If sweet and sour pork ribs are sweet and sour, then steamed pork ribs are fresh and refreshing with a long aftertaste.

The crispy pork ribs fall off the bones when pulled, and the marinated meat is crispy, elastic and fat but not greasy.The seasoning soaked into the bones, and the monks with good teeth even chewed the bones that could be chewed.

The pumpkin and potatoes hidden under the ribs absorb the soup that penetrates the ribs, and also absorb the fragrance of the lotus leaves below. It tastes soft and sweet, even better than the ribs.

On the big table in the gazebo, Chang Qing and the others ate heartily.But Tan Duzhi took two bowls and some spare ribs and walked into the mule cart—there was a dish of salt and pepper spare ribs that he hadn't finished yet, and he was still hungry at home.

Seeing Tan Duzhi leaving the table with the bowl in his hand, the monks who were buried in hard work felt a little uneasy.Wu Weizi said ashamedly: "Is it not good for us to do this? Master Ye hasn't served the table yet."

Wen Ruyu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's really not good."

So everyone stopped their chopsticks in unison and looked in the direction of the mule cart. Tan Duzhi, who was carrying two bowls of pork ribs, turned his head suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Lou Xiaolou said: "Let's have dinner together when Xiao Yezi is ready."

Before Tan Duzhi could speak, he heard Ye Huangui say, "Don't wait for me, I'll be satisfied if you can eat all the dishes I've cooked."

It will be a big blow if he sees that no one cares about his dishes.

With Ye Huangui's nod, the monks picked up their chopsticks again, for fear that if they were a step too late, their favorite ribs would be snatched away.

Tan Duzhi put the bowl on the small round table, and he picked up a piece of steamed pork ribs and sent it to Ye Hugui's mouth: "Let's eat something first."

Ye Huangui smiled: "Yeah! You eat too."

At this time, the last piece of pork ribs in the oil pan has been picked up, and a large plate of golden fried pork ribs exudes the fragrance of meat.However, they can't be eaten right now, and Ye Huanhui needs to raise the oil temperature in the pan to fry them again.

Only the ribs that have been re-fried will be crispy on the outside.After the oil temperature came up, Ye Huangui poured the pork ribs from the big basin into the oil pan: "Just wait until the outer skin is fried until crispy."

Ye Huangui was not idle while waiting for the ribs to be fried. He cooked Lingmi rice in the big pot and steamed egg custard on top.Tan Duzhi likes to mix rice with egg custard, so Ye Huangui often cooks this dish.

As soon as he beat the eggs into the bowl, the pork ribs in the oil pan turned from golden yellow to burnt yellow.With a slight push with a strainer, the surface of the ribs made a crisp sound.

Ye Huangui didn't turn off the fire in the stove, he took out the ribs and put them aside.Then he poured the oil in the pan into the oil jar, leaving only a little base oil. The salt and pepper ribs only added salt and cooking wine, and they still need to be fried to taste.

With the hot pot, he added green and red peppers and sliced ​​garlic to the pot, and only after the aroma of these side dishes was fully stimulated, he poured the ribs back into the pot.

When marinating the ribs, he only added a little salt, and at this time he added salt and pepper and chili powder with a wave of his hand.A spicy smell came from the stove, and Ye Huangui coughed twice.

Tan Duzhi wanted to take the spatula: "I'll do it."

Ye Huangui waved his hand: "It will be fine soon, it's fine."

As he said that, he took the pot specially used to hold rice wine and quickly poured rice wine around the side of the pot, only to hear a bang, and the pot caught fire!

184. Pork Rib Banquet

The pot where Ye Huangui was frying the pork ribs was first fried at high temperature and then dry-stir-fried with side dishes.In addition, the ribs are still at a high temperature, and the temperature in the pot has never dropped. Adding a little cooking wine at this time is tantamount to pouring spirits directly on the fire.

The raging flames wrapped the ribs in the pot, and a large amount of white smoke evaporated from the pot. As the spatula was flipped quickly, each rib was covered with a layer of undissipated alcohol smell.Drops of rice wine collided hotly with the iron pan, and the wine droplets shattered into countless tiny particles that slid in the pan, and they merrily mingled with the ribs.

It was as if there were two peerless masters competing in the pot. The collision of fire and meat was so fierce, as if the competition had reached the most exciting moment.Just when everyone thought that this competition would continue, the fire went out and the smell of wine dissipated, leaving only a pot of fragrant salt and pepper pork ribs waiting for everyone to come and taste.

Chang Qing's eyeballs looked straight: "Good guy!" He has only seen a fire at the bottom of a pot, but he has never seen a fire in a pot, and he has learned a lot.

Ye Huangui took out the salt and pepper pork ribs from the pot: "Salt and pepper pork ribs are here~~"

Lou Xiaolou had been guarding outside the mule cart for a long time, and he quickly took the big plate: "Wow~~It smells so good~"

Large chunks of ribs shrunk after being deep-fried, their skin covered with a browned crispy crust.There are red chili powder and fine salt and pepper powder stuck to the crispy shell, and a burst of spicy taste wafts out.

Every piece of meat seems to be calling everyone: come and eat me~

The monks didn't care about burning a piece of it, and when they bit their teeth, the crispy shell cracked and shattered.The cooking wine just cooked did not make it soft, but made it more crispy.

After biting the outer shell, a gust of hot air gushed out from the inside, and then the crispy inside appeared in front of everyone without reservation.Although the ribs are only marinated with salt and wine, the salt and pepper ribs have no fishy smell at all.

No matter what time of day, fried food can give people great satisfaction!Especially the fried meat, it is really a godlike existence!It can make people want to stop and be fascinated!

If the steamed pork ribs that just came out of the steamer are delicious enough, this salt and pepper pork ribs is even more hot and enthusiastic.The monks were reluctant to put down the ribs, so they slowed down and ate slowly.

The dishes are all made of ribs, but the three rib dishes on the table have different tastes and textures.Lou Xiaolou was very moved: "Little Ye Zi is really amazing!"

Seeing that everyone ate a lot of meat, fearing that they would get bored, Ye Huangui specially made a refreshing winter melon and shrimp soup and put it on the round table.Two pork chops, several people ate cleanly, and finally even finished the winter melon soup.

According to the usual practice, they would pat their butts and leave as soon as they finished eating, but today they sat at the dining table without moving.They watched Tan Duzhi unhurriedly pull out the custard and bibimbap, and watched the two of them clean the pots and pans...

Until now, they still haven't left!

Wen Ruyu was puzzled: "What happened to you guys today? Do you have anything to say?"

Tianyi pondered for a moment, then he turned to Tan Duzhi: "If there are no accidents, we will be able to arrive at the Hongmeng Ruins tomorrow. Daoist Tan, we are here, should we have a look at the Hongmeng Pearl?"

Ye Huangui frowned, Tianyi and the others were really big-hearted.They ran so far without even confirming Hong Mengzhu, if Tan Duzhi tricked them, wouldn't they be caught blind?

However, Lao Tan's character is recognized by the entire cultivation world as good, and he will definitely do what he promised.

Hearing this, Tan Duzhi got up and walked towards the mule cart.Everyone saw him stand on tiptoe and pick off the gauze-wrapped Ye Mingzhu from the kitchen, then he went to the gazebo and put the Ye Mingzhu in the middle of the table: "This is the Hongmeng Pearl."

As soon as the words fell, except for Wen Ruyu and Ye Huangui, the faces of the others were full of shock and astonishment.

Because he was so shocked, Tianyi's eyes opened to reveal lavender eyes.They never expected that the Hongmeng Pearl was emitting light all the time above their heads!

Chang Qing tore off the gauze outside the Hongmengzhu with trembling hands, and for the first time after being wrapped in gauze for several months, the Hongmengzhu revealed its beautiful real body.

Wuweizi complained with a trembling voice: "You guys are using the Hongmeng Pearl as a night pearl... You are a waste of things! You are a waste of things!"

Ye Huangui grinned and rubbed the back of his head: "Isn't this... make the best use of everything."

Idle is idle, his house didn't have extra Ye Mingzhu before the renovation, Hongmeng Pearl is so bright, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?

Lou Xiaolou's voice was trembling: "This...is this Hongmeng Pearl?"

As the rebuilder of Ye Huan's home, he took the Hongmeng Pearl off the beam with his own hands.At that time, he disliked Hongmengzhu as a hindrance, so he put it aside casually.Later, after learning that it was a gift from Zhenren Tan to Xiao Yezi, Xiaolou hung the Hongmeng Pearl in their bedroom as a light bulb.

Tan Duzhi said slowly: "I have already given the Hongmeng Pearl to Xiao Yezi, remember to return the beads to Xiao Yezi after you use them up."

Tianyi cherished the Hongmeng Pearl, and said seriously, "Please rest assured Tan Zhenren and Master Ye, I will definitely return it after I use it up."

Today's young people are so crazy, they just give away such precious things casually, but they still treat treasures like this... I'm really not afraid of being punished by God!

Tianyi and the others carefully walked out of the cave with the Hongmeng Pearl in their hands, Wen Ruyu's expression was complicated: "Just let them take it away?"

Lou Xiaolou whispered: "Yes, what if they don't pay back?"

Wen Ruyu sneered: "I have already recorded what they said just now, if they don't return it, I will tell the world to let the whole cultivation world see the face of the Ten Thousand Immortals League, and if I don't blackmail them for 1 night pearls, I will It's not Wen."

Ye Huangui and Lou Xiaolou gave Wen Ruyu a thumbs up: "As expected of you."

Tan Duzhi hasn't been able to take a good rest for the past few days. During the day, Ye Huangui fell asleep for a day, but he went back to the Infernal Swamp to search for people.When Ye Huangui came out after washing, he saw Tan Duzhi lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He looked exhausted.

He relaxed his steps and walked to the bedside to admire Tan Duzhi's beauty. Old Tan was deeply blessed by heaven, and every angle of his face was perfect.Ye Huangui gently pulled up the quilt to cover Tan Duzhi, but Tan Duzhi grabbed his hand as soon as he touched the quilt.

Ye Huangui said warmly: "Did it wake you up?"

Tan Duzhi opened his eyes: "I didn't fall asleep, I was just thinking about something."

Ye Huangui asked casually: "Are you thinking about the Hongmeng Ruins?"

Tan Duzhi shook his head: "I'm thinking about Jiuxiao Xianmen."

Ye Huangui looked serious: "What? Is the Nine Heavens Sect a demon again? Are they plotting against you again?" Did Lao Tan get entangled again when he went to rescue Sheng Yanyue today?

With Tan Duzhi's slight force, Ye Huangui was pulled into his arms.He gently kissed Ye Huangui: "No, it's just that I was a little concerned about what Wuweizi said to me before."

Ye Huangui nestled obediently in Tan Duzhi's arms: "What did Wuweizi say?"

Tan Duzhi said: "Wuweizi said, I am the disciple of Wuwang Sword Immortal."

Ye Huangui was stunned: "Hey?! That's right!"

Wuweizi did mention something when he saw Tan Duzhi for the first time on the shore of Ant City, but Ye Huangui didn't know who Wuwang Sword Immortal was, and Tan Duzhi refuted it at that time, he thought Wuweizi remembered it wrong Alright, just forget about it.

Tan Duzhi said: "I don't remember what happened when I first started. Sheng Huaiyi said that I broke into the sword mound and touched the formation by mistake and lost the memory of that time. But now, I don't quite believe him."

Ye Huangui thought for a while: "You mean, you are not actually Sheng Huaiyi's apprentice?"

Tan Duzhi said: "Xiaoyaozong Wuwei is free and easy, he doesn't need to lie to me. And these years I have been wondering why Sheng Huaiyi treats me like this, I have never figured it out."

Before Tan Duzhi was expelled from the Nine Heavens Sect, he had always been the mainstay of the Nine Heavens Sect.It is precisely because of him that Jiuxiao Xianmen can become a big sect in the cultivation world, and it is thanks to Tan Duzhi that Sheng Huaiyi can rest easy.

When a normal person encounters this situation, shouldn't he be more kind to Tan Duzhi?However, Sheng Huaiyi has ignored him these years. In terms of cultivation, Tan Duzhi has always been self-taught. Fortunately, he has a good talent and his cultivation base has been steadily advancing.

What does Sheng Huaiyi have?In addition to being Tan Duzhi's nominal master, he is not as good as Tan Duzhi in terms of cultivation; he is also not as good as Tan Duzhi in terms of reputation.

Before that, Tan Duzhi also wondered why other masters loved their disciples so much, but when it came to Sheng Huaiyi, he showed nothing at all.Apart from handing over his son with the Nine Yin Body to Tan Duzhi, he gave nothing to Tan Duzhi.

Tan Duzhi said calmly: "Before I thought it was because my cultivation base was too high, which caused Sheng Huaiyi and Xie Huairen to be jealous, but now it seems that there may be something hidden inside."

As soon as the words fell, Tan Duzhi saw Ye Huangui's worried eyes, and he smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Ye Huangui said: "Is there a way to restore your memory? How about I ask Fu Bo or Doctor Qu to give you a few needles after I go back?"

Tan Duzhi smiled: "If I can restore my cultivation, it doesn't hurt to have a few needles. But I think, if my memory is erased, it shouldn't be so easy to recover."

Ye Huangui wanted to say something, but Tan Duzhi raised his hand to turn off the light, and he said warmly, "Okay, let's rest, we will enter the ruins tomorrow."

Ye Huangui was still worried: "But..."

Tan Duzhi possessed himself and kissed him: "Aren't you tired? Then let's exercise for a while?"

Ye Huangui quickly closed his eyes: "Go to sleep, good night."

In the afternoon of the next day, the monks who had traveled across the mountains finally came to a mountain.This mountain is very strange, and a mirrored mountain can be vaguely seen on the top of the mountain.The tops of the two mountains are covered with white snow, and the ring-shaped mountains are like two opposite bowls, with a cloud of mist in the middle of the bowls.

If you look closely, the mist keeps changing, as if there are living creatures swimming in it.

Layman Tianyi said loudly: "Fellow daoists, the convenience before us is the relic of Hongmeng. The relic has a time limit, and it will be ejected in January after entering the relic. Please enter the relic in an orderly manner, and take care of it after entering the relic."

As soon as the words fell, the monks of various sects cheered energetically.As soon as the voice fell, the monks sacrificed their spirit swords and galloped towards the dense mist.

Gorgeous spiritual lights flashed in the air, and the monks plunged into the ruins and disappeared.Immediately, in the sky above his head, countless streamers of light were faintly seen flashing by.

This group of people has entered the ruins!

Ye Huangui was shocked: "It's amazing..."

It feels like the fog is like a gate of time and space, and through this fog you will arrive at another world.The cultivation world is really amazing!

Tan Duzhi hugged Ye Huangui at this time: "Let's go in too."

Ye Huangui excitedly said: "Yes! Go in and find the soul-nourishing grass!"
