Li Xin'an only felt that this voice was very familiar, he stopped summoning the war pet, turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a girl in pink running over, followed by a white ** mi, it was Zhou Wenwen.

Zhou Wenwen saw Li Xin'an in the light mask, her eyes instantly turned red, she didn't care about everyone's attacks, and ran directly to Li Xin'an.

The white-haired old man hurriedly stopped and shouted to Zhou Wenwen: "Miss, don't go over!"

The other nursing homes also stopped, wanting to stop Zhou Wenwen.

But Zhou Wenwen's body emitted a circle of ripples, pushing out these people who rushed towards her, she didn't stop herself, and continued to pounce on Li Xin'an.

Li Xin'an stopped inputting energy into the white ball, the light mask disappeared suddenly, and Zhou Wenwen threw herself directly into Li Xin'an's arms.

"Hahaha, you really came, you didn't lie to me!"

Zhou Wenwen hugged Li Xin'an tightly and said to him:

Li Xin'an patted Zhou Wenwen's shoulder and said, "Haha, say and do! But you come down first! ”

Zhou Wenwen reacted at this time, let go of Li Xin'an with a red face, and fell to the ground.

The white-haired old man and the nurses looked at each other, their faces full of shock and doubt.

Zhou Wenwen turned around and explained to everyone: "He is a friend I made in Frost City, and he came to me this time, I hope he didn't cause trouble to your uncles and Grandpa Tian." ”

The white-haired old man smiled kindly and said, "Since you are a friend of the third lady, you can naturally enter the Zhou family, but I hope that it will be better to enter through the main gate in the future." ”

Li Xin'an clenched his fists and bent down to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was really blocked at the door and couldn't enter, so I came out of this lower side, and I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you." ”

The white-haired old man shook his head, and with a flick of his sleeves, the flying swords in the air flew into the white-haired old man's robe one after another, and he immediately turned to leave.

The other nursing homes also saluted Zhou Wenwen and turned to leave.

Zhou Wenwen said in surprise: "Why are you here? It seems that you have lost a lot of weight!"

Li Xin'an replied: "Frost City stabilized, I wanted to come out and travel for a while, so I came out by myself, but I got lost in the ice field, and I didn't come out of the ice field until now. ”

Zhou Wenwen said in surprise: "Ah? I heard that the Chiyan Ice Plain is very dangerous, how did you get out? Let's go find a place to rest first, and you tell me slowly." ”

Then Zhou Wenwen took Li Xin'an to a delicate room, poured tea for Li Xin'an, and asked Li Xin'an what happened in the snowfield.

Li Xin'an felt that it was not good to stay here alone with Zhou Wenwen, so he said: "Why don't I go visit my uncle and aunt first?" It's a bit bad to break in without permission, and I need to apologize to them." ”

Zhou Wenwen knew that Li Xinan was talking about her parents, so she replied:

"My mother has passed away, my father has led the army to support Liguo, and the other uncles and uncles are also out doing business now and have not returned, and there are only me and my second brother at home, he went out today and should come back in the evening. ”

Li Xin'an said: "Okay, then isn't it boring for you to be alone at home." ”

Zhou Wenwen hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, tell me about what you encountered on the ice field." ”

Li Xin'an thought for a while, and told in detail about his departure from Frost City and his final arrival in Zhongzhou.

When she heard that the heavy snow had buried the traces of the caravan and Li Xin'an was lost, Zhou Wenwen's face was full of worry;

When she heard that the white bear and the pack of wolves were fighting, Zhou Wenwen was amazed;

When she heard that Li Xin'an was about to be burned to death when she ate the Ice Flame Holy Vine Fruit, Zhou Wenwen's face was full of nervousness;

When she heard that Li Xin'an met the Donggong tribe, Zhou Wenwen was very curious, grabbed Li Xin'an and asked many details, Li Xin'an took out a pearl obtained from the Donggong tribe and handed it to Zhou Wenwen, Zhou Wenwen's face was full of happiness.

When she heard that Li Xin'an was buried in the rubble, Zhou Wenwen firmly grabbed Li Xin'an's arm, as if she was afraid that he would disappear, but when she heard that Li Xin'an finally managed to come out, Zhou Wenwen immediately became happy and praised Li Xin'an's wit;

When she heard that the country of Lu was invaded by demons, Zhou Wenwen wanted to support them herself;

When she heard that Li Xin'an had destroyed the four demon clan stations, Zhou Wenwen laughed.

It wasn't until later that Li Xin'an said that he was stopped by soldiers when he entered Zhou's house again, Zhou Wenwen stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and said:

"My father was worried that we would be in danger if he wasn't at home, so he increased the Zhou family's protective force, which was not so strict before. ”

Li Xinan smiled and said, "Haha, it's understandable. ”

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and a hearty voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Is Brother Li here?

Li Xin'an heard that it was Zhou Gan's voice, so he got up to greet him, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhou Qian to push the door and enter.

Zhou Qian was dressed in black this time, and he looked more mature, he patted Li Xin'an on the shoulder, and said in surprise: "You really surprise me, you can actually come out of the snow field without a route!"

Li Xin'an said with a smile: "Haha, it's just luck, I almost got there." ”

Zhou Qian said: "It's late! I haven't eaten yet! Let's go! Let's talk while eating!"

Zhou Wenwen also said: "Let's go! Let's go to dinner! The food cooked by our chef uncle is delicious!"

Li Xin'an nodded and agreed, he was also a little hungry, the most important thing was that he still wanted to eat the fried dishes he ate during the day today, which was more suitable for his taste.

Since the Zhou family didn't have any other important people besides Zhou Wenwen and Zhou Qian, the three of them came to a pavilion and prepared to eat here.

The maids of the Zhou family served plates of precious melons and fruits as appetizers, and each plate of melons and fruits had a spiritual surge, which was obviously extraordinary.

A middle-aged man with calluses on his hands stood respectfully beside the trio.

Zhou Qian smiled and said to Li Xin'an: "You can order food." Master Hua is one of the top chefs in the Zhou Kingdom, good at the cuisine of the Six Kingdoms, as long as you want to eat, there is no one he will not do, and he also has an ability to block spiritual substances, which can completely shrink the spirituality in the ingredients without wasting a trace of nutrition. ”

Zhou Wenwen also chimed in: "Yes, yes, Uncle Hua's cooking is the best." ”

The middle-aged man said modestly: "Childe and Miss are falsely praised, but I know a little bit about the cuisine of the six countries." ”

But the expression on his face was very proud.

Li Xin'an said happily: "Haha, then it's hard Master Hua, let's order a scrambled egg with tomatoes first." ”

The middle-aged man's expression froze a little, and Zhou Qian and Zhou Wenwen were also puzzled, looking at the middle-aged man expectantly.

The middle-aged man stubbornly asked, "Dare to ask which country's cuisine this scrambled egg with tomatoes is?"

Li Xin'an was puzzled: "Ah? Aren't the scrambled eggs with tomatoes from Zhou Guo? I just ate them in the restaurant at the gate of Yuncheng today." ”

The middle-aged man's expression was a little flustered, and he said, "I haven't heard of this dish, dare to ask how it's made?"

Li Xin'an relieved the siege and said: "Ahaha, it may be the new cuisine of that restaurant, which is a dish called tomato and fried with eggs, which tastes very fragrant." ”

The middle-aged man asked again, "What does it mean to stir-fry?"

Zhou Qian and Zhou Wenwen looked at each other, the middle-aged man sweated on his forehead, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little embarrassing.

Li Xin'an said: "It is to put the grease in the pot first, and when the grease is hot, then pour the cut vegetables into the pot, and use a spoon or spatula to turn it over until the dishes are cooked." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly became hot, and he said, "I can still do this?" I want to try it quickly, and I will serve the food later." ”

At this time, he no longer felt embarrassed, but hurriedly ran to the kitchen to cook.

Li Xin'an also thought seriously at this time, looking at the middle-aged man's appearance just now, it didn't look like he was disguised, he really didn't know this method of stir-frying.

"This Hua chef is familiar with the cuisine practices of the six countries, but he doesn't know about stir-frying, and it seems that the six countries have not popularized stir-fry at this time.

But all the stir-fried vegetables that appeared in that restaurant today were the same as the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which was exactly what I had when I was in China.

And when I ordered, the boss shouted to the back kitchen, Xuan-level set meal.

At the time, I didn't care about it, but now that I think about it, the term "set meal" is also unique on earth, could it be that the boss or chef has crossed over?

Gotta find a time to ask. ”

Li Xin'an became excited, thinking that he was not the only one who crossed over, Li Xin'an suddenly felt a sense of relief, Li Xin'an suspected that the master of the young man who was disturbed by the nightmare was a traverser, but it was only inferred from the story he told, and it was unlikely.

But today, based on the stir-fry, Li Xin'an deduced that the chef or boss was a traverser nine times out of ten.

Li Xin'an suddenly had a feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and wanted to go to the hotel he had visited today.

But at this time, Zhou Qian and Zhou Wenwen were here, and Li Xin'an could not leave, and planned to ask again tomorrow.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Zhou Qian said to Li Xin'an: "Haha, this so-called stir-fried cooking method is really peculiar, I haven't heard of it before." ”

Li Xin'an said: "Haha, I only found out today. ”

Zhou Qian then asked: "The route from Frost City to Zhongzhou is only available to our caravan, and it can avoid many dangers, how did you get here?"

Li Xin'an told in detail about his journey from Frost City to Zhongzhou, which surprised Zhou Qian, and couldn't help but sigh at Li Xin'an's luck and boldness.

When he heard about the Donggong tribe, Zhou Qian became interested and asked, "You said that the Donggong tribe has many rich marine resources and has the intention of trading with Zhongzhou?"

Li Xin'an replied: "Not only the resources of the sea, but they also have many resources in the ice field, and they are familiar with the ice field, and they can obtain some valuable things from the ice field. ”

Zhou Qian thought for a moment and said, "I heard that they believe in evil gods, is it true?"

Li Xin'an replied: "Well, they believe in the god of fire, but the people there are also very kind, not as bloodthirsty as the legend says. ”

Zhou Qian said: "Then there is a value of trade with them, can you draw me the route from Zhongzhou to the Donggong tribe?"

Li Xin'an thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to hand over the trade with the East Palace tribe to Frost City, but you are my good friends, so it's okay to hand it over to you, but you have to share 20% of the profits from the trade to Frost City." ”

Zhou Qian pondered for a moment and said, "20% is acceptable, okay, then it's decided, let's sign an agreement." ”

Zhou Qian immediately took out a golden agreement and wrote down the provisions in detail on it, and Li Xinan felt that he could sign his name after reading it.

Later, Li Xin'an drew a route from memory on the map Zhou Qian brought.

Zhou Qian carefully put away the map and said with a smile: "Haha, happy cooperation!"

Li Xin'an also said with a smile: "Happy cooperation. ”

Zhou Wenwen, who was left out in the cold, pouted and snorted softly: "Hmph, you know how to talk about business." ”

Li Xin'an and Zhou Qian glanced at each other, laughed, and began to chat and play with Zhou Wenwen.

It didn't take long for the previous middle-aged man to come over with a few people carrying food, a total of more than a dozen dishes.

Meals are served in beautiful cutlery made of porcelain with beautiful patterns that look very expensive.

When I opened the lid, I saw that there was a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the color looked very fresh.

The middle-aged man made a gesture of please with his hand, inviting the three of them to taste.

Neither Zhou Qian nor Zhou Wenwen had ever eaten this kind of stir-fried dish, and they both curiously took a bite of the dish and filled it into their mouths, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on their faces.

Li Xin'an took a bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and felt that the taste was unusually rich, not only with the taste of tomatoes and eggs, but also with many other delicious flavors, which seemed to condense the flavors of many ingredients.

These flavors exploded together in Li Xin'an's mouth, forming an extremely layered and beautiful experience.

Chef Hua is really a chef, and on the basis of what Li Xin'an said, he added some of his own ideas and made a simple plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes to a new height, but Li Xin'an still wanted to eat the scrambled eggs with tomatoes he ate in the restaurant today, which was simple and felt like home.

He didn't show it, but gave Master Hua a high evaluation, saying: "Master Hua is worthy of being a chef, the food is really delicious, are there other ingredients in this scrambled egg with tomatoes?"

Chef Hua said happily: "Haha, thank you sir, my cooking skills have not improved for many years, and it was Mr. who opened a new door for me."

These dishes also contain some of my secret spices, which are made raw and condensed with a variety of high-quality ingredients. ”

Spiritual substances are concentrated in a viscous soup, and it will naturally be very delicious to add some when cooking, but the use of soup will mask the original aroma of the ingredients, and it will make the taste of the dish lose its authenticity, and Huaxia, as a food empire, attaches the most importance to the taste of the ingredients themselves when cooking.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xin'an decided to correct Master Hua's approach, he waved his hand and said to Master Hua:

"Master Hua is welcome, I just put forward an idea, and it was Master Hua who made my immature idea a reality. However, I have some suggestions that I would not like to make up for granted. ”

Master Hua also had a good impression of the small-looking young man in front of him, and he was able to make himself burst out of inspiration in just a few words, and hurriedly said, "Please give me advice." ”

Li Xin'an sorted out the language and said: "The taste of these dishes is absolutely first-class, but because of the addition of the secret spices you just mentioned, the original taste of the ingredients is masked, but I don't know that it is the soul of a dish."

I think that the right choice for cooking is to carry forward the taste of the ingredients themselves, the ingredients are diverse, the sour, iron, bitter and spicy are different, and they are reasonably matched and integrated into a dish, which is the real creation and a real dish.

And if you add the spices you just mentioned, it will only make the taste of the dish the same and lose its authenticity.

Master Hua can think about what I said, pay attention to the taste and texture of the ingredients themselves, and match the meals with different flavors. ”

When Master Hua heard what Li Xin'an said, his eyes lit up, and he fell into deep thought, and when he looked up again, he already had a new idea in his mind, and he couldn't wait to try.

He said to Li Xin'an: "Thank you, little brother, it really woke me up, I have taken a wrong path over the years, no wonder I can't improve my cooking skills." ”

Li Xin'an shook his head with a smile and said modestly: "This is my immature words, I hope it will not cause confusion to Master Hua." ”

Master Hua flipped through his hands and took out a thick book, the book cover seemed to be made of animal fur, covered with oil, and looked very thick and strong.

He handed it over to Li Xin'an and said, "I can't thank you, this is the cooking experience I have accumulated over the years, so I'll give this to you." ”

Li Xin'an said: "This is too precious, I can't ask for it." ”

Chef Hua said, "No, this recipe is nothing compared to your instructions, please accept it." ”

Zhou Qian also persuaded each other: "This is Master Zhou's intention, you can accept it." ”

Li Xin'an had no choice but to accept it and said, "Then thank you Master Hua." ”

Chef Hua said: "I want to thank you, I have now thought of some new ways to cook, and I am eager to try it, so I will retire first." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Qian said with a smile: "Haha, thank you Master Hua for making us this table of meals, Master Hua, you can go and get busy first." ”

Master Hua nodded and left quickly.

Li Xin'an roughly flipped through this cookbook, which recorded many different cuisines, as well as Master Hua's experience, among which Li Xin'an was most interested in controlling spiritual power to process ingredients, the combination of different spiritual ingredients, and the method of preserving spiritual power in ingredients, this method can exercise the precision of spiritual power control.

Li Xin'an put this recipe into the inventory for identification, and actually got the evaluation of the Xuanjie recipe.

He decided to wait until he had time to take a closer look, there were many spiritual beings in this world, and reasonable cooking could also play a positive role in the improvement of Li Xin'an's realm, even no less than pills.

Zhou Qian continued to greet Li Xin'an and Zhou Wenwen for dinner at this time.

The three of them were all young people, and after a few glasses of wine, they completely let go of their stomachs, and they were very happy to eat and drink.

In the middle of the wine, Zhou Qian took out a token and handed it to Li Xin'an, which was very weighty, it seemed to be made of precious metals, and there was an elegant word "Zhou" engraved on it.

Zhou Qian said to Li Xin'an: "If you hold this token, it means that it is a distinguished guest of our Zhou family, and those sergeants outside will not stop you again."

And as long as you take this token and enter the shop of the Zhou family's caravan, no matter which country you are in, you will get the full help of that shop and get the resources and information you want!"

Li Xin'an thanked Zhou Qian and put away the token.

He is going to travel in Zhongzhou next, and he may need the help of the Zhou family at some point, so this token is still very useful, and Li Xinan will naturally give corresponding thanks after asking for help, he is not willing to owe others favors.

After eating and drinking for a while, Li Xin'an asked, "Do you have a Mengchen clan here?"

Zhou Wenwen immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's in a forest near Cloud City, I like to go there to play." ”

Zhou Qian added: "It was a race that our caravan brought back from Nanban when it was doing business, and it had the ability to fall asleep.

The dream smoke they make can help people travel in their dreams and eliminate their troubles, and many transcendents and palace nobles like to use it, and they have specially designated a living area for them.

The price they pay is to provide us with the smoke to sleep. ”

Li Xin'an asked, "So do they have anything to let me enter other people's dreams?"

Zhou Qian said: "Oh, I haven't heard of this, but I've seen the clansmen of the Mengchen clan enter other people's dreams, and I don't know if I can let humans enter other people's dreams." ”

Li Xin'an said: "How can you take me to the living area of the Mengchen clan to find out?"

After pondering for a while, he said, "Yes, but I still have to arrange some business matters tomorrow, and let Wenwen take you there." ”

Zhou Wenwen said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take you there, it's fun there." ”

Li Xin'an thanked the two: "Then thank you a lot." ”

The three of them continued to eat and drink, and talked until late.

Li Xin'an also ate a lot of food, but he felt that his stomach was supportive.

The wine and meals he drank today were full of aura, and at this time, the aura of these meals was accumulating in Li Xin'an's stomach, and there was some swelling.

Li Xin'an hurriedly ran the breathing method, and the energy accumulated in his abdomen was transferred to his whole body, and it took a long time for the swelling in his abdomen to disappear, and Li Xin'an's body and cultivation were also stronger.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Zhou Qian and Zhou Wenwen were looking at him with a smile, there was no uncomfortable feeling of energy accumulation at all, and a faint glow appeared on the surface of their bodies, slowly flickering.

"Haha, this is the innate ability of our family to automatically convert the absorbed energy into energy that strengthens itself. ”

Li Xin'an was really envious, this was equivalent to automatic cultivation.

After eating, Zhou Qian arranged a clean room for Li Xin'an.

Li Xin'an drank a lot of wine today, these wines are made of spiritual substances, and they have great stamina, even Li Xin'an was a little dizzy from drinking, and he quickly fell asleep while lying on the bed.

Nothing was said all night.

......
