8. Five flavors

When Zhan Lu saw Ming Yijun again, it was already the second day.

Ming Yijun has recovered his human form, dressed in white, unparalleled in the world. But when Zhan Lu looked at him, she couldn't help but think of the cute little beast lying on her chest yesterday, and couldn't help but cover her mouth with her sleeves and smile secretly.

Although she hid her mouth, the smile in her eyes could not be hidden. When Ming Yijun saw it, he raised his eyebrows, revealing a displeased look.

The contrast between Ming Yijun's angry expression and yesterday's appearance was too great, Zhan Lu couldn't help it, laughed even more happily, and even his shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

If it had been yesterday, Zhan Lu would never have dared to do this.

But Ming Yijun's original body is so cute that it looks like ...... There is no deterrent. Zhan Lu is still annoyed until now, why didn't he touch the soft belly while it was asleep yesterday.

Ming Yijun looked at Zhan Lu and smiled, his face was slightly red, he couldn't tell whether he was embarrassed or annoyed, he coughed twice in embarrassment, and said thoughtlessly:

"The size of the original form of this seat is directly proportional to the strength of the mana, ahem...... The recent mana of this seat ...... Somewhat weak. ”

In normal times, he would never expose his lack of mana in front of outsiders. But the way this little girl looked at him...... It made him feel that it was necessary for him to maintain his dignity as an ancient divine beast.

Zhan Lu's expression was subtle, and he couldn't tell whether he believed it or not. Ming Yijun coughed a few more times and diverted the topic:

"Yesterday I went back to think about it and let you regain your sense of taste, this matter is really a bit tricky. ”

If Ming Yijun had said this yesterday, Zhan Lu might have been disappointed by it. However, after seeing his original form, Zhan Lu's impression of him was very different from before. So just nodded:

"If Lang Jun is embarrassed, don't force it. ”

When these words heard in Ming Yijun's ears, they had other meanings. His face turned red, and he said angrily:

"It's a small thing, if it's the heyday of this seat, a blink of an eye can make you recover. You look down on me, but now I want you to see what I'm capable of. If you want to restore your sense of taste, you only need to find the world's five things, from sour to sweet, bitter to bitter to salty, for you to take, so that your taste buds can be stimulated and rejuvenated. ”

Hearing that he was reasonable, Zhan Lu was also interested, and asked:

"Dare to ask Lang Jun, what are these five worldly tastes?"

Ming Yijun thought for a while, and said:

"There have always been many theories about what the taste of the world is, but in my opinion, it should be five kinds of jade lime, snow honey, snake gall, red pepper, and East China Sea salt. ”

When Zhan Lu heard this, he said:

"Of these first four, Zhanlu is indeed unheard of, and only East China Sea salt is easy to obtain. This place is not far from the East China Sea, and the salt we eat daily comes from the East China Sea. ”

Ming Yijun laughed:

"If it is so easy to obtain, the salt of the East China Sea will be called the best taste in the world. There is a lonely island in the East China Sea, and there is a tribe living on the island, which is a lineage of ancient Nuwa. They feed on salt, so they are called salt people. The method of making salt from the East China Sea salt people is different from other places, and the salt produced is crystal clear, and its taste is salty.

The remote location of this isolated island made these salt farmers have no desires all their lives, so they never take the initiative to trade with the outside world. Therefore, it is very rare to see the salt of the East China Sea in the outside world. If someone is lucky enough to get a piece the size of a fingertip, tie a thin string, and shake the salt cube in a circle in the dish whenever they are cooking, and the dish will become extremely delicious. If it is used in this way, this piece of East China Sea salt will not be lost for hundreds of years. Therefore, the restaurants and restaurants in Beijing regard the salt of the East China Sea as a treasure. ”

Zhan Lu couldn't stop talking, but he heard Ming Yijun say again:

"The other four things are naturally not something that can be obtained lightly. The jade lime tree grows in the southwestern rainforest and bears fruit only once every 60 years. Fortunately, the taste of jade lime is extremely sour, and it is not as long as the salt of the East China Sea, so it is not very useful. It's rare, but it's not expensive.

Snow honey is also not an extraordinary thing, there is a snow bee queen on the northwest snow mountain, after thousands of years of cultivation into a demon, the snow bee queen does not drink nectar, but absorbs the moonlight, brews the moonlight for honey, its taste is sweet, and has the effect of rejuvenation. This thing is extremely rare, and this seat only happened to drink it once 2,000 years ago.

The spirit snake gall is taken from the thousand-year-old spirit snake, and its taste is the most bitter, but it can enhance the mana of the cultivator. It's just that the number of thousand-year-old spirit snakes has always been small, and their whereabouts are uncertain, so they can't be obtained by those who have a heart.

Only the celestial red pepper is easy to obtain, and it is planted somewhere outside the territory, so you just need to ask the merchant who runs the sea ship to buy it. However, since it is a foreign product, the price is also quite high. ”

Zhan Lu heard him say a way, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. But when he said this, he became depressed again. These rare treasures, even if they are big restaurants in Beijing, are also available but not sought. Her wine shop is on the border, and she herself is shy in her pocket, where can she get these treasures?

Ming Yijun said, turned his head to see that Zhan Lu was extremely depressed, and he didn't feel that he was in a good mood, and comforted with a smile:

"You don't need to be so frustrated, according to my calculations last night, these things should be available in two or three years. This matter has your own worries, and you don't need to worry about it. ”

Since Ming Yijun said so, Zhan Lu didn't think about it anymore. She just wanted to say something, but when she turned her head, she found that Ming Yijun was gone.

I'm still here!

Zhan Lu looked around inexplicably, but saw a person walking in at the door.

The person who came was dressed in a Dao crown, and a seven-star sword hung from his waist. It turned out to be the Qingxuan Dao man who came yesterday.

She also said that he had already gone far away, and she didn't expect to be still in the county. No wonder Ming Yijun disappeared without even saying hello.

She hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile:

"It turned out to be Qingxuan Dao Chief, and I also said that you have already gone out of the city. Why did the Dao Chiefs come alone today, and those Dao Chiefs didn't come with them?"

Qingxuan Daoist smiled and shook his head slightly:

"The demon seems to be still in this county, we rented a house nearby, and my apprentices and nephews are cleaning, and the poor people have come to say hello to the good faith. Speaking of which, Poor Dao still doesn't know the name of the good believer, since he still has to bother in the future, please ask the good believer how to call it?"

When Zhan Lu heard that they were going to live nearby, she was a little uneasy, and when she asked him for his name and surname, she replied:

"I am the owner of this wine shop, my surname is Ye, my name is Zhanlu, the usual guests call me Zhanlu, and the Taoist chief also calls me Zhanlu. ”

Qingxuan Daoist clapped his hands and smiled:

"Good name, good name. 'Zhan Zhan Lusi, the sun is not shining, tired of drinking at night, not drunk and homeless', Shanxin's family opened a wine shop, and took such a name, it is really wonderful, wonderful. ”

Zhan Lu was always a little wary of Qingxuan in his heart, but at this time, when he heard him praise her name, he was a little happy, so he asked:

"The Taoist chief came here at this time, so naturally he wanted to eat lunch. Although our shop is small, we have all kinds of vegetables, vegetables, wine and food. ”

Qingxuan Daoist replied:

"We cultivators are different from monks, although we practice the same way, we don't avoid meat and wine. What meat do you have here, and tell me about it. ”

When Zhan Lu heard him say this, he replied:

"Our liquor store has always sold beef in sauce, and in addition, there is a fat chicken cooked on the stove today. ”

As soon as he heard that there were chickens, Qingxuan Daoist's eyes lit up:

"Just bring the chicken. ”

Speaking of which, the chicken was originally cooked for Ming Yijun. Mrs. Ah Zhen explained that Yijun liked meat more, and Zhan Lu was reluctant to cook beef for him every day, so she bought this chicken. However, since the guests want to eat, it is natural to serve the guests first.

Zhan Lu entered the kitchen, took out the fat chicken that had just been cooked in the pot, put it on a plate, and brought it out, and put it in front of Qing Xuan.

Qingxuan Daoist only felt a fragrance coming to his face, and then looked at this chicken skin with yellow skin and white flesh, which was very good-looking, which made his index finger move.

He reached out and tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth. But......

This, this, this...... What does it taste like?

The chicken skin is still mixed with some unfading chicken feathers, and there are some spices that can't be said to be anything. The chicken didn't taste at all, and it was so hard that it almost knocked out your teeth...... Qing Xuan has eaten chicken for hundreds of years, but he has never eaten such an unpalatable!

Didn't this little chick know his intentions and deliberately manipulate him?

Qingxuan Daoist looked up at Zhan Lu, Zhan Lu's face was innocent, his expression did not change at all, and it didn't look like he had deliberately done any pranks.

She saw that Qingxuan Daoist only took a bite of the chicken leg and put it down, without the slightest intention of continuing to eat, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Cautiously asked him:

"Dao Chief, this chicken I cooked...... Doesn't it taste good?"

Seeing her anxious appearance, Qingxuan Daoist thought of the purpose of his coming today, so he made a gentle smile:

"No, this chicken cooked by Zhan Lu couldn't be more delicious. It's just that Poor Dao has been a little sad recently, and he really has no appetite. ”

In order to prove that what he said was true, Qingxuan Daoist endured his nausea, ate another bite of chicken, and squeezed out a smile to Zhan Lu.

Hearing Qingxuan Daoist say this, Zhan Lu was relieved. The last time she cooked the whole chicken, a customer bought a chicken leg, and after eating only one bite, her face turned green, and she fell on the ground and vomited for a long time, causing her to have no business for half a day.

Because of this, Zhan Lu hasn't cooked a whole chicken for a long time. This time, she deliberately improved the formula, and it seems to work well.

Hmm, let's do this next time for Ming Yijun to eat.

She thought so happily.

Qingxuan Daoist didn't know what Zhan Lu was thinking, he didn't come here to eat, how could he just return in vain? He turned around, faced Zhan Lu, and called out softly:

"Alu!"

This call was as gentle as water, Zhan Lu agreed, looked up at him, and saw Qing Xuan's eyes burning, with indescribable charm in his eyes.

Zhan Lu's heart jumped, not knowing what he wanted to do. But I saw that Qingxuan Daoist suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist, and said to her:

"Alu was born so beautiful, I have lived for hundreds of years, and I have never seen anyone born so beautiful as Alu. ”

He said this a little frivolously, Zhan Lu wanted to hide, but he grabbed his wrist, and there was nowhere to escape, so he had to listen to him:

I have been brought into the meditation path since I was a child, and I have been in the summer for hundreds of years, and I have never known what the love between men and women is. But since I saw Ah Lu yesterday, I tossed and turned at night, it was difficult to sleep, and my heart was full of Ah Lu's shadow. Qingxuan is a person from the mountains and wilderness, and he has never had a relationship with a woman, so he doesn't know how to speak, I hope Ah Lu won't blame me for being abrupt!"

Qingxuan Daoist poured out his admiration like this, and at the same time grabbed Zhan Lu so that she could see his eyes.

For such a thing, Zhan Lu originally hated it. However, at this time, listening to the soft voice of Qingxuan Daoist and looking at his bright eyes, Zhan Lu suddenly felt that something strange was surging in his heart.

Qingxuan Daoist was still pouring out his admiration to Zhan Lu, and his originally delicate and charming face looked more and more bewitching. Zhan Lu's eyes gradually blurred, and her body seemed to be a little soft, and the hand that was grabbed was originally struggling desperately, but at this time it stopped resisting weakly......

Seeing Zhan Lu's condition at this time, a triumphant smile appeared on Qingxuan Daoren's face, he clenched her wrist, put his other hand lightly on her waist, and continued to ask Zhan Lu softly in his charming voice:

"Now that Alu has accepted my heart...... So...... Can you tell me about that gluttony now?"
