Chapter 125: Cold Salad

When Xu Yi succeeded in refining the longevity pill, the system, which had never had a sense of existence, suddenly issued a small task.

[Refine the Seven-Star Enhancement Pill, and complete the task to get a side dish recipe.] 】

Xu Yi felt strange, since he is now taking the way of medicine, this broken system reward is basically the book and pill in this area, and he is so suddenly rewarding the chef with things?

Xu Yi was also a little curious about what kind of side dish recipe it was, and after taking the task, he first selected the medicinal materials needed for the Seven Star Gong Enhancement Pill, which he was not sure much about for the time being, and then put them into the medicine furnace one by one, and added an intermediate energy block under the furnace.

One hundred intermediate energy blocks that were synthesized into one primary, Xu Yi had already used them on the day he refined the Longevity Pill, and the burning time for the primary level was three hours, while the intermediate level was twenty-four hours.

As the difficulty of refining pills increases, the longer it takes, and the intermediate energy block is not only resistant to burning, but also plays a bonus role in refining medicine.

"Alas, failed again. ”

The smell coming out of the medicine furnace was wrong, and after the impurities were eliminated, what should have been flushing out was the water vapor of the medicinal fragrance, but there was a hint of mushy smell coming out of the furnace.

After the pill came out, the black color still had a scorching smell, Xu Yi fanned the wind with his hand in disgust, and twisted his eyebrows to brush the purple gold medicine furnace from the inside to the outside several times.

continued to refine, and the pills in one furnace after another all failed, and even Elder Wang, who was angry with Zhang Meng, knew the situation.

Zhang Meng, who was brought over by Wang Lao to check, guessed the pill that Xu Yi wanted to refine, so he asked him with a smile: "Old Xu, there is no need to be in such a hurry to practice the Seven Star Gong Enhancement Pill, is it possible that the effect of this flavor pill is particularly powerful?"

"In terms of efficacy, it's more than three times that of the eighth product. ”

Sweeping away the residue, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Clean the medicine stove carefully several times so that the pill residue that failed in the previous furnace will not affect the refining later.

"Triple times?!"

Zhang Meng's eyes widened in surprise: "The pill of the ninth grade can increase my power for half a month, and the eighth grade can increase my power by one month, so doesn't that mean that the power that the seven stars can add is - three months." ”

"Yes, so the difficulty of refining medicine has also become a lot higher. ”

Worriedly, he put down the medicine furnace and twisted his eyebrows to think. Why is the difficulty of the Seven-Star Enhancement Pill a little later than the difficulty of refining the Longevity Pill, and he can refine the Longevity Pill by himself, and this time he has been refining the Seven-Star Enhancement Pill, which has already been refined for ten furnaces, but it still fails?

If he doesn't find out the problem, Xu Yi thinks that no matter how many times he refines, the final result will still end in failure. In this way, he went to Yan Lao's side to solve it.

"Xu Yi, don't be in a hurry. ”

Yan Lao saw that Xu Pasta was anxious, and Fu Xu persuaded the apprentice to calm down and not be in a hurry.

"Relax, with your gifts, as long as you calm down, it won't take long for your wishes to come true. ”

"Thanks to the teacher's teachings, I know what to do. ”

After being comforted by the old man, Xu Yi also realized that because he was in a hurry to complete the task, the progress of refining medicine, which he was not sure of, was even more unsmooth.

After knowing the problem, Xu Yi deliberately emptied his mind in response to this situation, so that the original anxious mood gradually calmed down, and did not care too much about gains and losses.

In this way, after Xu Yi came back from the empty world, he really succeeded in refining the Seven-Star Gong Enhancement Pill.

"Actually, it's really done. ”

Looking at the pale cyan pill in a daze, Xu Yi muttered. Compared with the Nine Grades of the Seven Star Gong Enhancement Pill, the body size is getting smaller and smaller, and it is the size of a fingernail.

Zhang Meng, who saw the beautiful color, was about to move, and he didn't dare to eat it, so he had to ask Xu Yi for verification: "Old Xu, this pill won't be so bitter, right?"

The shadow of the eight-rank power enhancement pill is really strong, which impresses the gluttonous Zhang Meng, for fear that the pill of the seven stars will be as bitter as the eight-grade pill and doubt life.

"Well, it's not bitter. ”

Turning on the system to hand over the task, Xu Yi replied casually, and was about to check the task reward, but was suddenly howled by Zhang Meng, who suddenly looked over.

"It's so spicy! Oh my God!!How can there be such a spicy pill!"

It was so spicy that he was sweating all over, Zhang Meng only felt that his mouth was going to be spicy, and he wanted to make the hot pain stop a little, and he grinned with tears all over his face, and his face was red with heat.

"Woo ......"

Zhang Meng, who remembered to eat or not, was so tired of being buried in the ice cube by the Seven Star Gong Enhancement Pill that he was biting a piece of ice ball in his mouth, and a piece of ice was pasted outside his mouth, sitting on the chair without love, looking at the sky with desolate eyes, hot tears crossed his cheeks, and there was no trace of "tough guy" appearance.

The small appearance was so miserable that Xu Yi couldn't bear it, so he could only turn his head away from Zhang Meng's face, lest he have to be a brother after laughing.

"Ahem...... Mengzi, are you okay?"

Prepared in his heart, when Xu Yi looked back at Zhang Meng's face again, he successfully suppressed his smile and asked him with concern.

“……”

Even if he obtained three months of hard work after taking the Seven Star Gong Enhancement Pill, it couldn't make Zhang Meng smile, because he ...... It's just too hard.

At that moment, when he heard Xu Yi say that he was not bitter, he naively thought that there would really be no problem, but what was the result? He was so spicy by the Seven Star Gong Enhancement Pill that his face turned red, and he shed a basin of male tears, and now his mouth is still hot and painful, and a pair of tricks are red like rabbit eyes.

"Uh-huh......"

Biting the ice and unable to speak, Zhang Meng's red eyes stared at Xu Yi resentfully, trying to make eye contact with his good brother, and condemning Xu Yi by the way.

However, Xu Yi, who had no tacit understanding at all, stared at him for a long time, only seeing the condensation of tears in the corners of Zhang Meng's eyes.

"Mengzi, you're too angry now, I'll go and give you some food. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yi ran away. Zhang Meng, who was about to be naked, closed his eyes in a dejected manner, chewed the ice cubes in his mouth and ate them.

It is said that Xu Yi ran to the kitchen on a whim because he received the task reward from the system.

[Recipe for side dishes: a serving of weeping vegetables, a little salt, a little sugar, and a little five-spice powder. 】

Ordinary people take the recipe that they don't know how to start, but Xu Yi is calm and calm, calls people to send the dishes, selects the vegetables, cleans and dries, and prepares the condiments for cold salad.

Vertical vegetables, a kind of wild vegetables that can be used as vegetables when they are fresh and can be used as medicinal herbs after processing, grow in spring and wither in summer, so they can only eat fresh vegetables in spring.

"Well, the 'patient' should eat lightly, I'm all doing this for the good of Mengzi. ”

Cooking a pot of white porridge with a smile, thinking about Zhang Meng's situation at this time, Xu Yi didn't cook other dishes, so he mixed an extra pot of vertical vegetables and put them away. After the white porridge was boiled, Xu Yi picked up a bowl of porridge, took a plate of cold vegetables to the table, and called Zhang Meng to come to the restaurant to eat.

The spiciness eased slightly, Zhang Meng was expecting Xu Yi to give him a whole table of food, but he didn't want to, and all he saw when he came to the restaurant was a bowl of white porridge and a plate of green side dishes.

"Lao Xu, did you make me such a dish?!"

Facing the humble meal, Zhang Meng looked at Xu Yi accusingly, and almost shed tears sadly.

As the saying goes, a man doesn't flick when he has tears, but before he gets to the sad place, Zhang Meng only feels that he is already sad and will never love again.

"What are you anxious about, eat and see first. ”

handed the chopsticks to Zhang Meng without hurry, Xu Yi calmly faced the accusatory eyes of his good brother this time, and was very confident in the cold salad he made.

Seeing that Xu Yi was very confident, Zhang Meng also withdrew his eyes, took the chopsticks and first grabbed a leaf of the weeping cabbage, and hesitantly stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's delicious! This side dish is crisp and crisp, and it really goes well to eat. ”

Subsequently, Zhang Meng just chewed two bites, and was shocked by the deliciousness in his mouth, only to feel that the cold weeping vegetables were refreshing and fresh, and he wanted to eat the next one after eating one.

Snorted and drank a mouthful of porridge, and then ate it with side dishes, and unconsciously drank a large bowl of white porridge and a plate of cold vegetables into Zhang Meng's stomach.

"Are there any more cold dishes?" Zhang Meng, a person with a big appetite, felt that he could eat a few more dishes!

"In the kitchen, you can eat it if you want. ”

Xu Yi was still thinking about how the Seven Star Gong Enhancement Pill could be refined better, and he didn't have much appetite to eat for the time being, so he let Zhang Meng serve the food by himself.

After getting the letter, Zhang Meng ran to the kitchen happily, saw a large pot of cold vegetables, his eyes lit up, he laughed, and forgot about the sore mouth that was spicy by the pills.

After Xu Yi finished thinking about the problem, he looked up and found that since Zhang Meng had not eaten in the restaurant, he walked to the kitchen in wonder, and saw a scene that made him speechless.

"Mengzi, you, this is more edible than a pig. ”

A pot of white porridge only has a shallow layer at the bottom of the pot, and only a few cold salads are left in a large pot, Zhang Meng patted his belly with a satisfied face, and hiccups from time to time.

"Hey, hey. ”

"Hiccup~" hiccup again, Zhang Meng smiled embarrassedly, this can't be blamed on him, unconsciously after eating enough, he found that the porridge and vegetables were almost gone.

"Lao Xu, this dish is really delicious, I can't stop eating it, and I can't put my chopsticks away if I want to. ”

His eyes rolled, Zhang Meng squeezed his eyebrows and said that he blamed the cold salad for being too delicious, and he couldn't be blamed for being too greedy.

"Look at your stupidity. ”

Xu Yi glanced at Zhang Meng, brushed the pot, and re-cooked a pot of rice.

"It's really delicious, this dish is suitable for all ages, crisp and delicious, and it can also replenish the body when eaten in spring. ”

At lunchtime, Xu Yi mixed another pot of chuiyang vegetables and prepared a few delicious specialties. Yan Lao and Wang Lao are also full of praise for the cold salad and weeping vegetables, thinking that this small dish is crisp to eat, and even the elderly can eat a few more bites.

After eating Zhang Meng, who had not yet digested it, he was full of grievances after only eating a bowl of rice. It was so uncomfortable to just watch others eat, but he couldn't eat himself, Zhang Meng got off the table with his belly protruding, and went to the practice room to practice the internal strength of the heart, so that the food in the stomach could be digested earlier.
