I rely on food to dominate the two worlds

As he walked, Tang Shaoyan saw an open space paved with marble. The cushions neatly arranged on the floor and the long table and benches with ancient rhymes in the front should be guided by the elders of Xuantianzong on weekdays. The place used by the disciples.

Jiang Shaoyou led Tang Shaoyan through the open space and came to a courtyard behind.

As soon as the two of them reached the gate of the courtyard, they heard a clear and pleasant voice saying, "Come in."

The courtyard was full of flowers and lush greenery. A man dressed in white and looking very cold was drinking tea at the stone table in the center. Tang Shaoyan could feel the majestic spiritual pressure coming from him from a long distance away.

"Master, I brought my junior brother here." Jiang Shaoyou saluted the man respectfully, and gave Tang Shaoyan a look, "Call Master quickly."

Tang Shaoyan hurriedly imitated his appearance, and also bowed his hands, "See you, see you, Master."

Master Yuan Yi's voice was also faint, "Sit down."

Tang Shaoyan and Jiang Shaoyou sat down as promised.

Master Yuan Yi's gaze rested on Tang Shaoyan for a moment and said, "One level of Qi refining, not bad."

Jiang Shaoyou was surprised when he heard the words. Tang Shaoyan was wearing a breath-holding talisman and had never used spiritual power, so he didn't feel the change of spiritual energy on his body, and he didn't know that his cultivation base had advanced again up.But the mere breath-holding talisman can't hide it from the golden core cultivator, so the master can see through his cultivation base at a glance.It was less than a month since they met last time, and Tang Shaoyan's cultivation speed could not be described as unpleasant.

Tang Shaoyan smiled with a little guilty conscience. In fact, it wasn't that he was so talented, it was all because he had twice as much time as others, and his cultivation level improved very quickly in the cultivation world.

"Drink tea." Master Yuan Yi moved his finger slightly, and the two tea cups automatically moved in front of Tang Shaoyan and Jiang Shaoyou.

Tang Shaoyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, the hot tea tasted full of elegant and mellow aroma, with a hint of aftertaste, it is really a rare good tea, especially after swallowing the tea, the whole body was filled with There is a warm and comfortable feeling, which contains a lot of spiritual energy. Just such a small cup of tea is already as good as the spiritual meal he made when he was in the cultivation world.

"I heard that you are especially good at cooking? Or do you know how to cook?"

"Yes." Tang Shaoyan was really nervous, and his speech was dry.

"How does the spiritual meal you make compare with my spiritual tea?"

Tang Shaoyan was taken aback by the question, and glanced at Jiang Shaoyou quietly. After receiving the comforting eyes from the other party, he replied, "If the ingredients have enough aura, they should be about the same."

"Then I will exchange a pot of spiritual tea for you a spiritual meal, would you like it?"

"This..." Tang Shaoyan looked at Jiang Shaoyou for help again, and seeing him nod slightly, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes."

"Shaoyou, take your junior brother to your uncle Fang, get some available ingredients, and eat at my place tonight."

"Yes."

When the two left Yuan Yi's courtyard, Tang Shaoyan was still in a daze.

"It has been more than two hundred years since my master has reached the golden core stage."

Tang Shaoyan's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect this fairy-looking elder to be so old.

The boy's thoughts were all written on his face, Jiang Shaoyou was so funny, he couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his head again, "Don't look at my master who looks very unapproachable, in fact, he is a very good teacher. People. After cultivators enter the golden elixir stage, they can fast. It’s not that they don’t want to eat, but they can’t eat it. The golden elixir stage has already begun to build the spirit body. There are hundreds of harms but no benefits. My master has not eaten properly for nearly a hundred years. He can only drink some spiritual tea and eat some spiritual fruits on weekdays. In the words of my uncle, a bird almost fades out of his mouth gone."

Tang Shaoyan became more and more surprised, "You mean...?"

"My master, I'm hungry." Jiang Shaoyou lowered his voice to a minimum, but he could still hear a hint of a smile accidentally leaked from his words.

While talking, the two came to a small valley, the hillside was full of vegetables and various fruit trees, and many Xuantianzong disciples were busy in it.In the middle of the valley, there is a big two-story house surrounded by large medicine fields. A young man in a black vest and beach pants is squatting in the medicine field with a small medicine basket.

"Master." Jiang Shaoyou said loudly.

"Xiao You!" The young man turned his head, his eyes showing surprise, "Where's my little nephew who can cook?!"

From Fang Yuze's point of view, Tang Shaoyan happened to be blocked by the tall Jiang Shaoyou, so he could only see Jiang Shaoyou alone.

Jiang Shaoyou stepped aside amusedly, revealing Tang Shaoyan behind him.

Fang Yuze didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile, "Hahaha, little nephew, you've come! Last time when Xiaoyou came back, he insisted on pulling up all the trees I planted on the mountain and planting them. I thought he was crazy." Yes! But as soon as he mentioned you later, I agreed! I was looking forward to you! Xiaoyou always praised you for being amazing, I really want to try your handicraft! "

Unexpectedly, this uncle's style of painting is completely different from that of the master, seems to be a bit chatty?However, judging from the spiritual pressure transmitted from the uncle, he should also be a monk at the Golden Core stage. I wonder how old this uncle is now?

Once a monk successfully builds a foundation, their appearance will be fixed, so it is impossible to tell their true age just by looking at their appearance.

"Master, Master asked us to get some ingredients and have dinner in Master's yard tonight."

"No problem! Just take it! Young nephew, you must cook more good dishes!"

"it is good……"

Tang Shaoyan and Jiang Shaoyou went to the specially opened vegetable field on the hillside and picked some ripe fruits and vegetables.

"Although the master started two years earlier than the master, he was only seven or eight years old at that time. He was called the master's brother, but in fact he was raised by the master as his son. He has a very good alchemy talent. Therefore, you were only 19 years old when you established the foundation, and the two of you are somewhat similar in this regard. The master has protected the uncle very well, so the uncle has been able to maintain the heart of a child for so many years."

"I see." Tang Shaoyan had a good impression of this chatty and lively senior.

The two picked some green peppers, spinach, radishes, potatoes and other vegetables. He felt the aura in these vegetables. It may be because of the use of the spirit gathering array, but it was no worse than the ingredients in the cultivation world. He immediately fell in love with it. tip of brow.

But with vegetables, it must be accompanied by meat, and it is best to be spirit beast meat.

"Brother Jiang, is there any spirit beast meat here?"

Jiang Shaoyou shook his head. He couldn't even see wild animals, let alone spirit beasts. He thought for a while and said, "There are a lot of fish in the pool downstream of Lingquan. Sometimes my nephews will catch them. The fish is eaten, and the meat is said to be of good quality, but I wonder if the meat of this fish is okay?"

"You have to take a look to find out."

Jiang Shaoyou went to find two disciples of Xuantianzong to catch fish in the pool behind. For monks, catching fish couldn't be easier, and he sent back two big black fish that were alive and kicking.Tang Shaoyan couldn't recognize what kind of fish it was, but it looked a bit like Wujiang fish, with a relatively high fat content. He used his spiritual power to test it out. This kind of fish that has been living in the spiritual spring does indeed contain a lot of spiritual energy in its body. It can be regarded as an acquired spiritual beast.

"Okay, let's use this fish." Tang Shaoyan suddenly thought, "This fish has spiritual energy living in the spiritual spring, so if we raise some chickens and ducks here and feed them the food with spiritual energy, will it be possible? Let them also have aura in their bodies?"

"You can try it." Jiang Shaoyou touched his chin and said.

With the ingredients for dinner, Jiang Shaoyou took Tang Shaoyan to the kitchen.Only monks above the golden core stage need bigu, so the disciples who usually live in Xuantianzong still need to cook together, so the things in the kitchen are still very complete, which surprised Tang Shaoyan.

Jiang Shaoyou rolled up his sleeves and helped Tang Shaoyan.However, Jiang Shaoyou had never cooked before, and Tang Shaoyan didn't dare to let him do the work of chopping vegetables, so he only asked him to help wash the vegetables.

There are a total of four people for dinner, so there is no need to cook too many dishes. Two fish, one sweet and sour, the other made into pickled fish, and two fried vegetables are almost enough.

After Tang Shaoyan removed the scales and viscera of the fish, he cut the fish obliquely into uniform incisions, and then coated it with a layer of gravy sauce, fried it in a pan, and then put it in sweet and sour sauce. Many disciples were looking around at the door, but they didn't dare to come in because of the presence of the very senior Jiang Shaoyou.

For the other fish, slice the fish meat against the spine, split the fish head and cut the fish bones into small pieces, and marinate with a little rice wine.The sauerkraut was washed a little, and then cut into thin strips so that the sour flavor can be released more fully.

Pour an appropriate amount of oil and pepper into the frying pan, then put the onion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, and finally add shredded sauerkraut, and stir-fry on high heat to produce a sour aroma. After about 1 minute, pour boiling water, and then put the fish head and fish bones in. Cook on high heat for five or six minutes, and the soup will slowly become cloudy and whitish.

Take out the sauerkraut, fish head and fish bones, put them in a large bowl as the bottom, when there is only soup left in the pot, add salt and pepper, then add the fish fillets, boil the fish and pour them into the large bowl , the sour and delicious pickled fish is complete.

For vegetarian dishes, Tang Shaoyan made a dish of spinach with garlic, a dish of braised radish, and a dish of green pepper and potato shreds. They were all quick and easy dishes, and dinner was ready in less than an hour.

Jiang Shaoyou and Tang Shaoyan put the food on the tray and took it to the master's yard together, attracting the attention of countless young disciples along the way.Fang Yuze was already sitting in the yard, stretching his neck and looking out of the yard while drinking his brother's tea.

"Here we come!" Fang Yuze jumped up excitedly after seeing the figures of Jiang Shaoyou and Tang Shaoyan appearing.

"Sit down." Master Yuan Yi frowned slightly, "There are no rules!"

Fang Yuze had no choice but to sit back aggrieved, and watched helplessly as the two nephews put the dishes on the table one by one. Tang Shaoyan tried his best to hold back his laughter with the expression of a greedy puppy looking at the meaty bones.

The five dishes were placed on the table, exuding a strong aroma, which made Fang Yuze, who had been fasting for many years, feel hungry.

"Junior brother, can we eat?" Fang Yuze held the chopsticks and looked at his junior brother eagerly.

"Let's eat." Master Yuan Yi said helplessly.

Fang Yuze immediately picked up a chopstick of sweet and sour fish. This fish was bright red and exuded a strong sweet and sour smell, which attracted his attention the most.The taste of the fish is really good, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The fresh and tender fish is accompanied by sweet and sour sauce, which makes his mouth water, and the more he eats, the more delicious it becomes.

Yuan Yi is more interested in pickled fish. The white fish fillets are tender and slightly spicy, and the sauerkraut is very refreshing. The sour, fragrant and slightly spicy taste makes his stomach seem to come alive again.

Garlic-flavored spinach has a strong taste, the sweetness of spinach itself is perfectly combined with the aroma of garlic, the soft, glutinous and delicious taste is extremely delicious.The braised radish made from sliced ​​white radish, boiled with soy sauce and sugar until softened, then poured some gravy, the red soup hangs evenly on the radish, looking crystal clear.The entrance is soft, glutinous and smooth, sweet and refreshing, and the sauce has a strong aroma, which goes well with rice.The shredded green peppers and potatoes are very finely chopped, and they are immediately out of the pan after being stir-fried over high heat. They are salty, crispy, and delicious.

The most important thing is that Tang Shaoyan purified the aura in these dishes, filtered out the impurities, and made Fang Yuze and Yuan Yi, who are Jindan stage monks, very comfortable to eat.Although it is said that due to the limitations of the ingredients and Tang Shaoyan's cultivation, these spiritual meals are of little help to their cultivation, but the taste is first-class.

Tang Shaoyan was eating a mouthful of vegetables and rice, when suddenly there was a large piece of fish in the bowl, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Shaoyou, and found that there was a thick layer of vegetables in his bowl, he couldn't help showing surprise.In his impression, Brother Jiang doesn't seem to be so bold when he eats.

"Hurry up and order more food, it will be gone in a while."

Tang Shaoyan was a little confused at first, but then he saw the uncle and the master pouring chopsticks like raindrops, and they could almost see afterimages...

Facts have proved that Jiang Shaoyou is very prescient. When Tang Shaoyan and Jiang Shaoyou only half-eat, the dinner plate in front of them was almost empty.

"The taste is really good, but the portion is a bit small." Fang Yuze looked at the empty bowls and plates in front of him, "little nephew, how about making more tomorrow?"

"OK……"
