Dengzhou is located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, and has been the so-called abode of immortals since ancient times. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited the immortals in the east, he looked at the Penglai Immortal Island in the sea here, and it became the immortal town where the emperors of the past dynasties pursued immortality and ambition.

But for Qi'an, the legendary Penglai is extremely far away, and the so-called fairy mountain is nothing more than a boring attraction for the local natives.

Compared to the existence of immortals, he would rather believe that Emperor Qin and Han Wu were visiting fresh, because there had never been immortals in Qi'an's world, but seafood often appeared.

But Qi An is not going to cook seafood tonight, because he can't afford it.

As an immortal old monster, the most troublesome thing is to change your identity every time you live too long.

As early as the first time he changed his identity, Qi An realized an embarrassing problem: with the change of identity, the original property could not be accessed.

That was the first time Qi An went hungry, and it was also the last.

This is why the first thing I do after waking up is to find a property agent and transfer all the property before the deadline is approaching, and let the agent take care of it.

Through many experiences, Qi An gradually established a complete system of death and rebirth processes.

But unfortunately, in the turmoil of decades ago, that agent was branded as a rightist, and even his family suffered a major setback and collapsed.

At that time, Qi An was in that stage of weakness, although his individual strength was still strong and he also had his own power, but in the face of the turbulent tide of the current situation, he still couldn't change the situation at that time, so he had to make hastily arrangements after protecting some people, and then ushered in his unknown number of sleeps.

This time no one woke him up, and it was a new era when he woke up.

In addition to putting the search for the deceased on the agenda, the most important thing at the moment is to fill your stomach.

The so-called "never get tired of eating, never get tired of being fine", Qi An, who has been luxurious for more than 1,000 years, can't grieve his stomach, especially today is the first time to invite someone to visit.

Although Qi An personally cooked, Xu Wanqing still brought a food box over.

Pushed the car door, first opened the umbrella to cover the skirt and walked out, then took the food box out, and walked up the stairs without telling Qi An that he had arrived.

Qi An was very helpless when he saw Xu Wanqing who opened the door with a key. "Even if you're a landlord, you can't just open the door and come in without knocking, right?"

Seeing Xu Wanqing as if she had found slippers to change into as if she was at home, and sat on the sofa with a big grin, Qi An felt a little inexplicably intimate.

"Go ahead and get busy with you, I'll just watch TV by myself. Glancing at Qi An, she pointed to the food box on the coffee table and motioned for Qi An to take it and heat it up.

"Then you can sit down, and you have to have a dish. After Qi An glanced at it, he didn't touch the food box, turned around and went into the kitchen again.

Taking off her coat, Xu Wanqing glanced at the kitchen, and watched the episodes on TV with interest. Until Qi An's side had already set up the meal and asked her to serve it.

"Try this first. Qi An pointed to a plate of mapo tofu. The plate of mapo tofu looked as if it was already cold, with only a few wisps of heat rising, which was very different from the other dishes that were steaming like steam.

A piece of tofu was sandwiched from the red soup, and a little minced beef and a slice of chopped green onion were on top. As soon as I put it in my mouth, I couldn't care about the image and took a big breath, and I didn't have time to recall the taste until I ate it.

"It's spicy, the color is red and bright, the flavor is fragrant and fresh, the tofu is tender and formed, you can do it. Xu Wanqing was still breathing, slurred but still didn't forget to comment, and then couldn't help but clip another chopstick.

"It's just that why is it so hot?" she looked at Qi An suspiciously.

"You deliberately played with me, right?" Immediately noticing that there was ambiguity in what she said, Xu Wanqing slapped Qi Bai lightly.

Qi Bai didn't understand the ambiguity in the words, but explained seriously: "The judging criteria for the dish of mapo tofu are spicy and fragrant, crispy and fresh. To be scald, tender and fresh, the emphasis is on thickening. It is often troublesome to only hook the sauce once, or to thicken the juice many times with the same consistency. ”

"But if you want to lock in the flavor and tenderness of the tofu, the last thickening is the most important. ”

"My mapo tofu can be spicy and fragrant, crispy and fresh, and it is thanks to my thickening technique that the tofu can come alive in the mouth, and the more you chew, the more you taste. Qi An boasted about his craft, as if his greatest achievement in a thousand years was to become a good cook.

Xu Wanqing was a little unconvinced when she heard him speak as if he was self-respecting in heaven and on earth. Open the food box you brought with you and bring out a steaming bowl.

"Then how about you try my craft. Feeling that the food in the bowl was still hot, Xu Wanqing put it in front of Qi Bai.

"It looks good. I praised it before I ate it. After testing it with chopsticks, picking up a piece of meat and eating it, Qi An's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"The skin is thin and the meat is tender, and the flavor is mellow and juicy. Can you make this kind of dish?" Qi An suddenly showed an impressive look.

When Xu Wanqing saw his expression, she was already a little proud. Cooking is like this, some people appreciate and know how to taste the dishes they make, just like playing the song of the mountains and flowing water into the ears of the Zhongzi period.

"It's just a slow simmer with Huadiao rock sugar, but it takes more time. Xu Wanqing waved her hand casually, indicating that it was not worth mentioning, but the smile on her face could not be concealed.

"Next time you try to mix some honey wine or monkey wine and stew it. Qi An took a chopstick of meat, dipped it in the soup, and put it in his mouth to savor it.

"Wouldn't that mess up the taste of rice wine?" Xu Wanqing was a little skeptical, but seeing him sitting on the front of his face, closing his eyes and tasting it, he lost his confidence for a while.

At that time, he promoted the brewing method of Zhenyi wine and honey wine in Huangzhou, and made a large amount of honey wine, so he mixed the honey wine with rice wine to stew the pork that the poor and lowly eat, which is now the authentic practice of the so-called Dongpo meat. ”

As the so-called:

Clean and wash the bell, less water, and the firewood will not be smoky.

Don't rush him when he is familiar with himself, and he is beautiful when he is full.

Huangzhou is a good pork, and the price is as cheap as dirt.

The noble refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand how to cook.

Get up in the morning and make two bowls, so full that you don't care.

"Although Zizhan is good wine, the amount of wine is not good, if he can live until now, he will be happy to see the variety of good wine and food in modern times. ”

Hearing Qi An say something inexplicable, he seemed a little sentimental, and Xu Wanqing didn't care about his weird name for Su Shi.

Just served him a bowl of mullet egg soup.

The next moment, she found that Qi An had returned to the previous gourmet's attitude.

"How can you put coriander!
