Chapter 41: Hot Pot
Being in a winter-like ice cellar, seeing this dazzling array of delicacies, and hearing Master's instructions, what other specialty dishes could Shao Yu think of?
It has to be a hot pot!
So here comes the question -
Where is the hot pot? Where is the hot pot base?
Well, there is no mandarin duck pot for the time being, take the pot where you usually cook soup on top, I don't know if Master's taste is spicy or light, so I simply make it light, and then make a hot sauce, as for the hot pot base...... Get a copy on the spot?
Green onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, jujube, wolfberry...... I don't recognize it at all.
Shao Yu died in the middle of the ingredients.
A lot of unrecognizable spirit grass and spirit beast meat, even if the master hangs a sign and writes the name, he still doesn't know what it tastes like when cooked, and what are their properties? Eating together won't cause food poisoning, right?
If a monk gets food poisoned to the point of going mad and dying, he will probably be laughed at for 10,000 years.
It's such a sad story [candles.
Shao Yu looked at the ingredients that filled the entire cave and fell into deep happiness. Since you don't know what it is, let's try it! It's all about eating anyway! As for the civet cat that didn't follow him, it would forage for food on its own!
happily made this decision, and Shao Yu took root here.
His daily routine is to choose a few ingredients and cut them down and cook them, taste what the soup tastes like, whether the body reacts, and eat the ingredients in the soup if it is OK. Some of them are hot in the abdomen after eating, some of them are refreshing, and some of them are too full of spiritual power, so they should meditate and digest immediately after eating, and when Shao Yu carried forward the spirit of Shennong to taste the herbs and finally put together the hot pot base, he felt that he could impact Jindan.
Food supplements or something, it is also a kind of "Tao" =w=
But this kind of Tao is too luxurious, if you don't have a master who works hard to help you fight monsters, there is no way to do it. For example, the monks in the foundation building period want to ascend to find a demon beast of the same initiate to get its meat, but they can't beat it at all - yes, in the absence of high-level magic weapons and other plug-ins, the human race is so brittle ==
Qingxiao deliberately stepped on his feet, so as not to scare the little disciple who was engrossed, what if his hand shook, and the pot of soup that smelled very fragrant was wasted? ← said that the good master-apprentice relationship is deep?
Identify the ups and downs in this pot of soup, including Kabaya grass, fairy lilies, and mulberry picking...... Can you eat these together?
Next to the pot, there were all kinds of thinly cut slices of spirit beast meat and spirit grass leaves, Shao Yu smiled and saluted: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
Qingxiao didn't know what his mood was, he touched the top of the little disciple's head and sighed, "It's been two years." ”
Yes, Shao Yu is 15 years old.
The young man's body is lengthened, and his appearance is more exquisite, it seems that he has been alone for two years, and the quiet and ethereal temperament on his body is more obvious, even if he is in rags, he will be recognized as an immortal by mortals at first sight.
Qingxiao sat down on the futon, grabbed a few pieces of meat and threw them in according to Shao Yu's words, and scooped them up after a short time.
The slices of meat taken out are crystal clear, the heat is mixed with the aroma wafting out, and when you bite it, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, which is not inferior to those dishes that need to be purchased by high-grade spirit stones, or even better, after all, as long as this way of eating can be accompanied by soup, it can almost be said that there is no technical content.
The intimate little apprentice had already handed over a piece of paper: "Master, this is the ingredient for the hot pot soup." ”
After reading it, Qingxiao shattered the piece of paper and muttered: "This is called 'hot pot'? ”
Isn't that a big name? Shao Yu said tentatively: "Why don't you give Master a name?" ”
Qingxiao Man said: "Don't eat the fireworks in the world, hot pot...... That's a good name. He smiled and said to the little disciple, "Do you know how valuable this recipe is?" ”
Shao Yu shook his head honestly.
Qingxiao glared at him with a smile, and with his expression, this glare was not very powerful, and even had a bit of intimacy: "Originally, you spoiled so many ingredients for me, and I was going to punish you, but I didn't expect you to really make something out of it, but now I want to reward you." ”
Shao Yu's eyes lit up and asked, "What reward?" ”
At this time, ordinary people are only afraid that they will say that filial piety to the master is etiquette, and they don't seek benefits at all, and it is rare that the apprentice has not done this, Qingxiao took out a jade box from his sleeve and said, "Your reads are indispensable;." ”
Shao Yu put it away, although it was not easy to open it in person, but he couldn't help thinking in his mind: What is it? What is it exactly?
"Alright, you can go." Qingxiao instructed: "Remember to go and see your second senior sister, no, it's your senior sister now." ”
Shao Yu was shocked: "What happened?" ”
There was not the slightest emotion in Qingxiao's steady voice, but it seemed that thousands of emotions had been suppressed: "Lu Xiang's soul lamp has been extinguished, and Mu Xun is also more than lucky." Try your best to rush to Jindan, if you don't become Jindan, it's too small after all. ”
Shao Yu stood for a long time, and finally just nodded silently and stepped out of the ice cave.
A qiē is hidden under the calm of the waves.
He had already thought of it.
The Moon Shooting Valley holds an inner sect competition every five years, and at least one true disciple is born in five years, and there are two of them in the previous one, he and Fan Long, according to this number, according to the long history of the sect, hasn't the seven peaks already been filled with true disciples?
Maybe it wasn't the case hundreds of years ago, so why are the rules changed now?
There is only one explanation: the mortality rate of true disciples is too high.
Now that he has become a true disciple, a magic weapon by his side, and a sect protector, he is naturally not a stupid person who can be released to practice, how did he fall in the end? Shao Yu remembered Ji Su's words, these two Mu Linggen's fellow disciples went to explore the news of a ruins.
When I saw my sister again, she was already a lot haggard.
Pale cheeks, clear figure, seeing Shao Yu, Ji Su smiled, there seemed to be sadness in that smile, the civet skin rubbed her calves, unprecedentedly well-behaved.
Shao Yu called softly: "Senior sister." ”
Ji Su said: "You're here to pick up the kitten, right?" In the past two years, some of my fellow disciples wanted to visit you, but I refused, telling them that you were in retreat, and the most diligent ones were Yu Ge from Douzhan Peak and Fan Long from Royal Beast Peak. ”
Shao Yu found that he was not good at comforting people, so he had to say, "Master asked me to come and see you." ”
Ji Su was stunned for a moment and said, "Let the master worry." The path of cultivation is against the sky, and how many people can live forever and be immortal? I just didn't expect that even Senior Brother ......" There were tears in her eyes: "Senior Brother, when you cultivate to Jindan, you will be the chief disciple, now there are only two disciples on the peak, you and me, Senior Sister has lost her sharpness, you can't let others look down on our Yin Yuan Peak!" ”
Shao Yu nodded silently.
From Ji Su's mouth, he knew that this trip to explore the ruins, except for the two disciples of Yin Yuan Peak, the other six peaks also went to people, after all, everyone is the same door, and there are many good friends, but two years have passed, but there is no one who has come back, some of the soul lamps have been completely extinguished, and some of the flames are weak, like a candle in the wind, like a breeze that can't withstand it.
The two elders have already set off to save the disciples, but this site is the first time it has been discovered, it is hidden, and it will change places by itself, it is very difficult to find, and there is no news so far, but fortunately, their soul lamps are very bright, so that everyone can let go of their hanging hearts a little.
"Meow~"
The civet cat was held in the arms of its owner, rubbed, and obediently curled into a ball, and it was rare that it was not as naughty as its name reads;.
Shao Yu returned to the cave, and the furnishings here were still the same, as if nothing had changed, and as if everything had changed. The vicissitudes of life, things are not people...... So much has happened in just two years.
He kept reminding himself that this was a real world, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of countless people's lives and deaths converged into a movement, playing quietly, not just the protagonists, supporting characters, dragon sets, and cannon fodder, but it was the first time that he realized this so clearly.
Countless ideas are broken and reorganized, Shao Yu's thinking is clear to precise, he remembers the outline he once wrote, the plot he conceived; remembered the first time he used the Concealment Talisman to almost find him in the Dharma Arena Chief of the Hidden Yuan Peak; Thinking of the growing Yu song, which will inevitably stir up the storm; I think of the shape shì in the valley of the shooting moon...... Something that held him in prison was broken, something that supported him was shattered.
Shao Yu walked to the retreat place.
In the cave of every true disciple, there will be such a place, in addition to the meditation room, there is also an alchemy room, a refining room, etc., after all, Yiduo is not pressing, and there must always be some hobbies in addition to cultivation, even if it is a chemical scum, you can also master the refining method of Bigu Dan that is not used at all.
He took a deep breath and opened the jade box given by his master.
A blue spirit grass that emitted a slight chill was placed properly in the box.
Ice Mist Grass.
The water spirit root is the most critical and rare spiritual grass in the advanced high-grade Jindan. Shao Yu thought in hindsight, could it be that Master Fei only planned to let him make a good dish casually, but in fact, he was looking for a reason to give this reward to the little disciple who didn't get the first place in the inner door competition?
I knew I would have tried the barbecue.
However, tossing the hot pot also allowed him to eat a lot of delicacies openly, and he didn't lose it at all.
Turning these thoughts would have made him feel relaxed in the past, but now he couldn't laugh at all. Shao Yu said seriously to the civet cat in his arms: "The master is going to retreat, you go and accompany Senior Sister Ji, and the master is there, you also have to go and have a look." ”
"Meow~" The cat responded obediently, but it secretly made up its mind, just stick to Ji Su, when she visits the master, she will look at it! Well, that human named Qingxiao seems to have seen through Pippi's whole body, which is a little scary.
Shao Yu went into retreat.
When he wrote the novel, he thought about how difficult it must have been to live in retreat, but now that he is immersed in it, he doesn't find it difficult. Sure enough, at a certain stage, you can see the scenery that you have not understood before.
In the ice cave, Qinglan coughed twice, but couldn't stop dipping the meat slices into the hot sauce and putting the chopsticks in her mouth.
Qingxiao patted him on the back and reproached: "Don't eat in such a hurry, is your body bad again?" ”
"Delicious! Since I won't live long, do you still want me to do penance? Qing Lan poured a stack of meat into the pot, staring at the churning soup without blinking: "I have already calculated, the little feather is the key person, and it can't be wrong." ”
Qingxiao sighed: "The more you calculate, the shorter your lifespan will be. ”
Qing Lan didn't care: "Just live until the old man dies!" A smile tugged at the corner of his lips: "Look, he's all attacked your disciples, can you still hold back?" ”
Qingxiao's face was cold, and his words were like ice jade: "If the heavens want to destroy it, they must first make it crazy." ”
