After the genius was abolished, he became my Taoist companion

The temperature of the toon fish has dropped, and at this time the entrance is lukewarm and the shell is crispy.After biting through the puff pastry, the rich toon flavor comes out. The puff pastry is added with pepper noodles and salt, and it tastes delicious without dipping in other sauces.

However, Chinese toon actually has no special taste, it mainly lies in the aroma.After frying, the strong toon smell of the toon fish has become lighter, and the smell does not have the boring feeling just now.

The fried Chinese toon with separated leaves is very beautiful, and the golden-yellow crisp coat is wrapped with emerald green leaves.It tasted crunchy, and after a while, Ye Huangui's mouth felt slightly numb: "Mmm... it's numb!"

But it's so enjoyable!

Tan Duzhi held a half-bitten Chinese toon fish thoughtfully: "This... can most vegetables be fried like this?"

Ye Huangui held the toon fish in his mouth: "Yes, yes!"

In my hometown, there is a country that wraps vegetables in a layer of batter and deep-fries them in a pan. They also gave these dishes a special name 'Tempura'.Ye Huangui felt that what he was making now was toon tempura.

He licked the corner of his mouth and took another fried toon: "If you like it, I'll cook you a tempura feast when I get back! It's delicious~"

A smile appeared in Tan Duzhi's eyes: "Well, good."

Ye Huangui had great enthusiasm for fried toon fish, and he ate half of the plate by himself.After eating, he rubbed his belly: "Ah, I can't eat any more, I won't be able to eat any more for lunch. By the way, let's fry fried pork slices with Chinese toon in a while?"

Tan Duzhi nodded: "Okay...but, isn't your meat wrapped in wontons?"

Ye Huangui chuckled: "I dropped the fresh bag, but I still have old bacon!"

As he spoke, he opened the storage bag and found out a piece of waxy yellow hard bacon that was half an arm long, and a strong salty smell permeated it.

Tan Duzhi was startled: "You...are amazing."

Most people carry money or necessities with them when they go out.Fortunately, he had a storage bag, so he wished he could take half of his family with him.No wonder his first reaction was to go back to the inn to get his things when he got the amulet.

If he didn't mention it and prepared it, it can only show that he is too meticulous.

Ye Huangui soaked the hard old bacon in the rice washing water, and he happily introduced the origin of this bacon to Tan Duzhi: "You are lucky, the origin of this bacon is not simple. .”

The place where Ye Huangui lived was close to the Beastmaster Sect. When the beasts were raised in the Beastmaster Sect, the leftover fruits and vegetables or food and meat would be packed by the servants and sold in the grocery store.Ye Huangui called it a lucky bag, and he is one of the people who often buy lucky bags.

Last winter, two spirit pigs in the Beastmaster's Spiritual Animal Garden had a fight, and one of them was so badly injured that he burped.The Zongmen servant was too lazy to deal with the pig, so he put it in a lucky bag and threw it to the grocery store.

When Ye Huangui got the lucky bag, the pig inside was still warm.Thanks to this pig last winter, he had a bountiful winter.This piece of meat was bacon made from the meat of the spirit pig, and it was originally placed in the storage bag he specially used to store food.

Before setting off, he went to the mountains. He brought a piece of meat with him, and half of it was left after eating. He stuffed it into this storage bag. He didn't expect it to come in handy!

After Tan Duzhi heard Ye Huangui ramble a lot, he understood: "Oh..."

After soaking the bacon for an hour, most of the saltiness was removed.Ye Huangui washed the dirt on the bacon carefully with warm water, and then put the cleaned bacon into a small stove to simmer.

Seeing Tan Duzhi looking at the pot inquisitively, Ye Huangui explained: "Ah, bacon can also be fried by slicing it directly, but I'm afraid it's too salty. It is easy to produce oil, and the taste is better controlled.”

Tan Duzhi does not cook, nor does he speak.

It has been several days since he came out of the forest of no return, and the meat meal that Ye Huangui had prepared before was almost finished.But he is not in a hurry, he will come across a town after walking for a few days, and he will just go and buy some.

Put the bacon in the pot, just add ginger slices and a little white wine to remove the fishy smell.After brewing two cups of tea, the smell of bacon wafted in from outside the car, and Ye Huangui couldn't sit still because of the aroma.

When he finally couldn't sit still, he lifted the lid of the pot and poked the skin of the meat with chopsticks.The chopsticks penetrated the bacon smoothly, and Ye Huangui hurriedly picked the meat out of the pot: "It's cooked, it's cooked!"

As he spoke, he put the meat on the chopping board, and after lifting the knife in his hand, a half-straight piece of bacon lay on the chopping board.

At this point, you can see the difference between bacon and fresh meat. After the bacon is cooked, the fat part is slightly transparent, oily and bright, and the color of the lean part is dark red. The saliva came down.

Ye Huangui pinched the lean part and stuffed it into Tan Duzhi's mouth: "Old Tan! Try it!"

Tan Duzhi was caught off guard by a big mouthful of meat, and the smell of meat filled his mouth.If you taste it carefully, the skin of the bacon is sticky and sticky, while the fat on the skin is a bit crispy, full of oil when you bite into it.The lean meat, which is unevenly distributed among the fat, is firm and chewy, and Tan Duzhi fell in love with the taste after just one bite.

Ye Huangui couldn't wait to cut a piece and put it in his mouth: "Ah~ the bacon is so delicious! I must buy more meat to make bacon this winter! Then I will make bacon and sausages, Lao Tan, what do you think? How about it?"

Tan Duzhi chewed the bacon: "Well, good."

If it weren't for thinking about frying Chinese toon with bacon slices, Ye Huangui could have cut half of the bacon and eaten it empty-handed.However, the consequences of doing so would be disastrous, and he had already experienced it before.

Taking advantage of the temperature of the meat cooling down, Ye Huangui cut it into even thin slices, and while cutting, he stuffed a few slices of meat into his and Tan Duzhi's mouths.

After the meat was cut, he lit the outer hearth.

Tan Duzhi especially likes to see the flames burning in the stove. The beeping flames are bright yellow, burning warmly and quietly.Looking at this flame, the heart can slowly calm down.

And Ye Huangui's cooking was not quiet at all, he made a bold move, if it wasn't for the puppet car's formation method, once he cooks, the whole car will be full of oily smoke.

After the pot was hot, Ye Huangui directly pushed the bacon slices on the chopping board into the pot. The meat slices made a prickling sound after being put into the pot. After a few stir-fry, a lot of clear oil precipitated out of the meat slices.

Ye Huangui pushed the meat aside, he added a little shredded ginger and garlic slices to the oil, and after sautéing the ginger and garlic, he poured the cleaned Chinese toon into the pan and started frying.

This time, the toon was not boiled, and the toon tasted very strong.The Chinese toon he picked is very tender, and it is easy to cook even if the whole flower is stir-fried.After a few stir-fries, the Chinese toon will turn emerald green.

Because the bacon slices already had a salty taste, Ye Huangui didn't plan to add salt.After stir-frying a few times, a large plate of Chinese toon wrapped in fat lay softly on the plate.

Ye Huangui cleaned up the small round table, and today he steamed a bowl of custard with the last three eggs.

After he served the meal, he and Tan Duzhi sat around the small round table and started chatting while eating.The content of their chat was very loose, Tan Du didn't talk much, most of the time it was Ye Huangui who was looking for topics.

Today, however, Tan Duzhi took the initiative to open up the chatter box. He put a fried Chinese toon on the rice.As soon as the chopsticks are picked, the rice is lifted together with the toon and delivered to the mouth.

The stir-fried Chinese toon has no strange smell and tastes fresh and tender.Tan Duzhi felt that he could accept the taste, and after two mouthfuls of rice, he asked casually: "You said, you had a serious illness before? What illness?"

Ye Huangui's chopsticks paused: "You may not understand..."

Tan Duzhi said slowly: "It's okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

Ye Huangui didn't want to hide Tan Duzhi, he said: "It's leukemia, a disease of the blood."

Tan Duzhi was puzzled: "On the blood?"

Ye Huangui said: "Yes, in the early stage, you will feel dizzy, and you will bleed easily after bumping, and the bleeding will not stop. In the middle stage, you will feel groggy all day long, unable to eat, and your body will feel uncomfortable everywhere. In the later stage ah……"

Ye Huangui smiled wryly: "Life is worse than death, it hurts too much. Every bone hurts, I can't sleep all night, blowing the wind and basking in the sun, even a little cold will kill me."

Tan Duzhi didn't expect that he would poke Ye Huangui's sadness, he didn't expect that he would be so seriously ill: "Sorry, what happened after that? How did you get cured?"

Ye Huangui smiled: "Later, I was lucky, it was so good, do you believe it? Actually, there are still some sequelae..."

Tan Duzhi looked at Ye Huangui. No wonder Ye Huangui was in his 20s, and his appearance and figure looked like a teenager. It seemed that the previous serious illness made him lose money.

He said in a deep voice: "There are many magic weapons in the cultivation world, there must be a panacea that can cure you."

Ye Hugui smiled and dug two spoonfuls of egg custard into his bowl: "Hey, I don't need that anymore. Look at me, isn't this alive and kicking?"

Tan Duzhi looked at Ye Huangui's smiling face, and nodded, "Yeah."

Perhaps Tan Duzhi asked about the past life, and it has been a long time since Ye Huangui, who had not remembered the dream of the previous life, had been dreaming for a long time.

He dreamed of a peach tree, a peach tree growing in the window.

In spring, the peach trees are full of pink flowers.After the flowers wither, small peaches covered with fluff will grow.The peaches grow slowly, and in May and June, the early-ripening peaches turn pinkish-white, with a little red on the tip.

Whenever this time came, Meimei and the others would go to the peach tree and pick the earliest ripe peaches to show him—he couldn't eat them, he could only look at them.

Meimei is his attending doctor.When she first arrived at the hospital, Meimei was still a little girl with ponytails and black-rimmed glasses. When he left, Meimei was already a mother of two children.

After the peaches are eaten, it will enter midsummer, and the scorching sun will cause the long and narrow leaves of the peach tree to droop.The leaves can get sunburned and become mottled and unattractive.

In autumn, the green peach tree leaves turn colorful, mostly yellow.When the wind blew, the leaves of the trees fell and spread all over the ground.

In winter, new snow hangs on the branches of peach trees, and when the sun shines, it will emit a dazzling masonry-like luster.

He had watched this scene for eight years.

The peach tree was still a small seedling when it was admitted to the hospital. Eight years later, the peach tree has grown taller.

From the onset of illness at the age of 12 to the day of his death, he endured for eight years.His best years were given to the hospital.

Before entering the emergency room for the last time, Meimei kept telling him that the peach blossoms were about to bloom.At that time, he also thought that he must persevere and take a look at the peach blossoms this spring.

However, he still failed to see the peach blossoms that year.

38. In a dream

Tan Duzhi was awakened by the wetness in his chest, and when he swept his consciousness, he saw Ye Huangui's head resting on his chest.Ye Huangui's eyes were clearly closed, but big drops of tears fell down the corners of his eyes.

Cultivators have techniques to enter the opponent's consciousness to see what the opponent has encountered. Tan Duzhi used to disdain to use this method.But this time, he suddenly wanted to see what Ye Huangui encountered in his dream.

There was a little spiritual light between his left fingers, and as his left index finger touched Ye Huangui's eyebrows.A pure white room appeared before Tan Duzhi's eyes.

This room is about the same size as the interior of their puppet car, and there are two long and narrow beds in the room.The bed near the door was empty, and a skinny teenager was lying on the bed near the window.

The boy's face was pale, and there was a label on his bed: Bed No. [-] Leaf Stage.

The young man was wearing a striped hospital gown, and he was holding a weird-shaped... puppet in one arm, and he was looking out the window.

Human voices, music and children's laughter could be faintly heard outside the window, but no matter how Tan Duzhi looked, the scenery he saw was only the peach tree by the window.

The peach tree is empty, and the brown branches are pregnant with countless swollen flower buds.In a few days, buds will bloom on the branches.

A faint singing sound came from Tan Duzhi's ear, and upon listening carefully, it was the spring and March that Ye Huangui sang to him in the morning.What made the sound was a black square box, which was on the young man's bedside table.There is a stack of books next to the bedside table, colorful.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Tan Duzhi looked, and saw a woman with short hair cut and wearing a white coat came in, holding a notebook in her hand.Seeing the woman, Tan Duzhi knew her name - Meimei.

When Meimei entered the door, her face was full of bitterness, and there was an indelible sadness between her brows.But when she saw the boy on the bed, she forcefully forced a smile: "Little Ye Zi."

The boy on the bed moved his eyes from the window to Meimei's face: "Meimei."

Meimei walked to the bed, she took the boy's forehead temperature, looked at the whites of his eyes and tongue.After the inspection, she sat by the bed: "Your parents and elder brother have something to do today, so they won't come to see you today."

Ye Ziqi showed a weak smile: "I know, brother called me."

Seeing that his voice was hoarse and weak, Meimei comforted her softly, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Ye Ziqi smiled: "Well, I can't fall asleep these days."

Meimei's smile froze, her eyes turned slightly red: "I, I'll prescribe you some more painkillers."

Ye Ziqi shook his head: "No, it's not that unbearable. Meimei, I've already finished reading the book you brought me last time."

Meimei smiled with difficulty: "Can I borrow a few more books for you this afternoon? Continue to read your favorite books that introduce delicious food, okay? Shall I give you another set of National Geographic?"

Ye Ziqi shook his head: "No need. I may not be able to read it in the future."

Meimei opened her mouth, she wanted to refute but couldn't say anything.Ye Ziqi smiled and said: "The eyes are not very good these days, and I feel dizzy when I read a book. Meimei, what do you think the world after death is like?"

Meimei choked up: "Don't talk about Xiao Yezi, you will be fine."

Ye Ziqi looked at the peach tree outside the window: "Hey, I'm just thinking about it. If you don't like it, I won't say anything. Look, Meimei, the peach blossoms are about to bloom."

Meimei raised her head and looked out the window: "Yes, the peach blossoms are about to bloom. Don't you like peach blossoms the most? I promise you, when the peach blossoms bloom, how about I take you to take pictures under the peach trees?"

A smile bloomed on Ye Ziqi's weak face: "Okay."

His voice was gentle and gentle: "Meimei, thank you."

Meimei sniffled: "What are you talking about, little fool, you need to get well soon. Life is still so long, and there are so many delicious things you haven't eaten, and so many beautiful things you haven't seen. You still have a long time to live Now, after waiting, you can find a girlfriend and start a family. Good days are ahead!"

Ye Ziqi narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Yes...the days are still long."

Not long after Meimei left the room, Ye Ziqi gently patted the puppet with a long neck next to him: "Thank you, Qiaoqiao, thank you for staying with me for so long. You can rest in the future."

The fluff on the long-necked puppet had already fallen off a bit, and Ye Ziqi touched the puppet's head: "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, he looked up out of the window: "I can't see the flowers..."

After Ye Ziqi finished saying this, Tan Duzhi's aura was exhausted.His consciousness quickly withdrew from Ye Huangui's dream, and he was already lying flat on the bed in a whirl.

Ye Huangui still rested his head on his chest, tears dripping down his face.

Tan Duzhi's left hand was hanging on top of Ye Huangui's head. He was not a fool. He had just entered Ye Huangui's dream, and he understood that Ye Huangui's spirit came from another world.

After the monks have practiced to a certain level, the reincarnation of the spirit and soul is still much more intact after more than ten lives.Ye Huangui is nothing like this.

It's just that when he saw the boy on the bed in the dream looking out the window with gloomy eyes, he couldn't help thinking of himself.

The slender hand still fell on the top of Ye Huangui's head, and after touching it lightly twice, Ye Huangui's tears gradually stopped.He groaned and rolled, then skillfully climbed onto Tan Duzhi's body and pressed on Tan Duzhi.

Tan Duzhi looked at the young man who was sleeping soundly on his chest, and he put down his hands: "Sleep."

Blame him, he shouldn't have talked too much about Ye Huangui's sadness.

Ye Huangui was really noisy when he fell asleep, he huddled around Tan Duzhi like a big dog, and made Tan Duzhi burst into flames several times.But the amazing thing is that Tan Duzhi got used to it!

He closed his eyes while maintaining the posture of being pressed by Ye Huangui, and fell asleep in a while.

Early the next morning, Ye Huangui was a little confused, he rubbed his eyes: "Old Tan, are my eyes swollen?"

Ye Huangui's upper eyelids were indeed swollen and red, as if he had been crying for a long time.He stood innocently beside the bed: "Hey? What's wrong with my eyes? Have you seen something you shouldn't have seen?"

Tan Duzhi straightened his clothes unhurriedly. He opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It may be due to overwork. Do you want to take a rest?"

Along the way, except for the few days when Ye Huangui fainted, Ye Huangui was busy cooking and rushing the rest of the time.Tan Duzhi said sincerely: "You rest and rest, I'll hurry."

Seeing Ye Huangui looking at him in surprise, Tan Duzhi said: "Just go all the way to the south. Besides, Jixiang is very obedient and hardly has to hurry. Take a rest and let me do it."

Ye Huangui was very moved: "Old Tan, you are really kind~"

To be honest, he didn't remember what dream he had last night, anyway, he felt extremely tired after waking up.After getting up in the morning, he has been yawning.Hearing what Tan Duzhi said, he really planned to go back to the stove and go back to sleep again.

Ye Huangui climbed onto the bed while taking off his clothes. He said embarrassedly: "Don't look at me for being diligent all the way, but I'm not diligent at all at home. I often sleep in the cage at home, and I have to take a nap in the afternoon. On a rainy day, I can lie down for a day when I have nothing to do. If it’s too hot, I’ll fall asleep if I don’t want to go out. If it’s too cold, I’ll just lie down…”

Tan Duzhi: ...

He didn't see it at all.

Ye Hugui got into the bed comfortably, and he yawned: "Please, Old Tan, that's right... Remember to wake me up at noon to make lunch..."

After saying this, he turned over and fell asleep hugging the blanket.

Tan Duzhi: ...

He fell into Ye Huangui's dream last night, he was fine, but Ye Huangui had a little sequelae, that is, his body would be more tired.Seeing the boy on the bed curled up and sleeping in a ball, Tan Duzhi put on a cloak and rolled the wheelchair to the outer room.

Jixiang is a mule that doesn't need to be chased. Whenever it reaches an intersection, it will greet Ye Huangui with "Ahh~".Ye Huangui just needs to turn the radish or apple hanging in front of Jixiang to point them in the direction they want to go, and Jixiang will walk down.

It was Tan Duzhi who was on the road today, and Ji Xiang was not used to it.After walking a few steps, it habitually turned its head to look in the direction of the car door.

Tan Duzhi thought that Jixiang might be worried about Ye Huangui, and he explained: "He didn't rest well last night, and he is resting now. You don't have to worry."

Hearing this, Ji Xiang walked forward.After walking around for a while, it turned to look at Tan Duzhi again, and Tan Duzhi could only explain it again.

Ye Huangui slept comfortably, and when he woke up, his eyes were still a little swollen, but his energy was much better.He yawned and walked out of the inner room: "Old Tan?"

After calling out, he realized an important thing - Tan Duzhi was gone!Looking out of the car again, Jixiang is gone!

Ye Huangui broke out in a cold sweat, what about Old Tan and Jixiang? !Had someone abducted them while he was fast asleep?

Thinking of this, Ye Huangui's hands and feet were cold: "Old Tan?"

Tan Duzhi's voice came from outside the car: "Huh? Are you awake?"

Ye Huangui poked his head out quickly, and saw Tan Duzhi sitting on the pedal outside the car, and Ji Xiang was grazing in the nearby woods with his tail wagging his head.

Seeing Ye Huangui wake up, Tan Duzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Your mule...is very unusual."

Who would have thought that it looked back thousands of times, just to beg for grass? !Tan Duzhi has explained so many times in vain!
