Because of the sudden cold, my body trembled a little involuntarily, and I looked at her movements and asked tentatively, "How do you feel?" ”

Qin Xiaogu opened his pores and felt it carefully, "It's cold." As if to emphasize his feelings, Kotani emphasized, "It's very cold. ”

"What does snow turn into?"

Although it was very cold, Qin Xiaogu's spirit was still in a very excited state.

This question was completely difficult for Qin Xiaogu from the twenty-first century, and there was almost no pause, "Water. ”

Shinichi seemed a little surprised by her speed, and asked, "Why does the water turn into ice?" ”

The water turned into ice, and Xiao Gu could use the knowledge of physics to give Shinichi a good lesson by completely reversing the role, but on the basis of the knowledge of the cultivation realm, she really didn't know how to talk about it, and she was a little stunned and couldn't speak.

Shinichi looked at her, but was not ready to give her a solution, but asked her to follow him forward, as if to give her time to clear her doubts.

In the middle of the night, Kotani and Shinichi arrive at a small mortal village, and Kotani pats the snowflakes on his head and his clothes. Feeling the snow water seeping into his clothes, Xiao Gu subconsciously prepared to urge the spell, but saw that the snow water on the real body, who was also wearing mortal clothes, had completely wet the hem of the clothes, and even snow water flowed from the cheeks of the real people down the neck into the underwear, and Ye Zhen didn't seem to notice this situation at all.

Xiao Gu pursed his lips and dissipated the spiritual power in his hand. Following Ye Zhen's appearance, she didn't care about the snow and the cold soaked in her bones, she followed Shinichi wet and knocked on the door of a farmhouse.

"Bang bang" two knocks on the door, crisp and loud knocks on the door.

"Who?" With the rough shouting, the house gradually lit up with candlelight, and then against the background of the candlelight, you can still see the appearance of the people in the house wearing coats.

This kind of life is too far away from Xiao Gu, and she looked at the mortal scene in front of her with curiosity, and her heart swelled with nostalgia.

After a quarter of an hour, a young man in his thirties walked out of the courtyard surrounded by wooden bars, his hair was tied up indiscriminately, looking slightly messy, although it was late at night, Xiao Gu could still clearly see that the man's upper body was a navy blue jacket and the lower body was black cotton pants.

The man's face was sleepy, and he yawned as he walked.

Shinichi didn't say much about greetings, but got straight to the point very simply and straightforwardly, shouting through the closed door, "Hello, my granddaughter and I want to borrow a night." ”

"Squeak" accompanied the opening of the wooden door, and in the empty and silent night, a man looked at the two of them through the half-open large wooden door, as if to confirm whether the two people had bad intentions, and then after a few minutes, she removed the door panel with her hand, "Come in, the rule of our accommodation here is ten cents per room a night, including breakfast." ”

Qin Xiaogu was surprised to see Ye Zhen take out twenty yuan from the navy blue purse hanging on his side and hand it to the man, "This is money, please take us to the empty room." ”

The man reached out and took the coin, then tossed it, turned sideways, motioned for them to enter the room, and closed the door.

The man who closed the door put his hands back into the thick cuffs, then shrunk his neck, and walked in front of the two with strong steps, leading the way.

The whole courtyard is almost the same as the courtyard of the general farmhouse, the bluestone slab is paved with the floor, the right hand side is a place for tourists to live, and the main house and the room on the left are the places where the family lives by themselves.

After a few turns, Ye Xiaogu and Ye Zhen came to their temporary residence.

"This is it, everything is ready, let's go inside. See what else is needed and let me know. Qin Xiaogu arched his hand towards the man and took the lead into the room.

Each room is about fifteen square meters in size, and facing the door is a brown-red wardrobe, the corners of which are badly worn and tearful, with a heavy sense of history. On the right hand side of the wardrobe was a single bed, and by the moonlight, Qin Xiaogu saw that the bed was covered with a navy blue quilt, and on the right, there was a lonely table, a bit like a dresser.

There are very few things that are very simple, but Ye Xiaogu and Ye Zhen are not real mortals in the first place, and they don't care about some of the conditions of accommodation.

Xiao Gu finished scanning the house, and then went to another room, the facilities inside the two rooms were almost identical, Qin Xiaogu and Ye Zhen each chose a room, and then Xiao Gu turned around and looked at the man who was still guarding the door, and nodded.

Seeing that there was no problem, the man yawned heavily, and left them alone, yawning and going back to the main house.

Xiao Gu looked at the real person who pretended to be a mortal old man, smiled, raised his right hand, and gestured with his thumb upturned, "Master, your acting skills are really high, even mortals' money is prepared, what a foolproof feeling." ”

Zhenyi Zhenren looked at Xiao Gu's praise with a funny face, and then said with amusement and anger: "Cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals is not only cultivation, but also experience, and cultivation is the heart." Master had also practiced in mortal dust in his early years, so how could he not even pretend to be a little mortal with so many years of personal experience. After speaking, those squinting little eyes seemed to reveal a sense of pride, "Go to sleep in your room, remember, it's sleeping, not meditation and cultivation." ”

Sleeping is a luxury and a difficult thing for cultivators.

They need a lot of time to practice, and high cultivation means better energy for them, so that they can't sleep at all, and the word sleep is very far away from them.

But for Qin Xiaogu, it was very easy, first of all, because she had always had the habit of resting every day, even if the whole consciousness could not sink, she could do her best to calm her heart. Second, she has an extraordinary obsession with sleeping, in her previous life, the strong work pressure made her almost a person who could fall asleep with a pillow, in order to be able to achieve the greatest mental rest, so that the next day is also full of energy. Thirdly, it has to be said that the experience of becoming a plant made her very accustomed to slowing down her breathing, emptying her mind, and naturally entering a state of dormancy at night.

Shinichi retracted his senses, laughed lightly, and then muttered, "What a powerful apprentice, what an amazing apprentice." ”

Early the next morning, Kodani ate his first breakfast in the mortal world with a familiar and intimate feeling.

Very ordinary food, first of all, a big bowl of soft boiled preserved egg and lean porridge, there is not much preserved egg and lean meat in it, but the amount of porridge is very sufficient. Qin Xiaogu rolled up the sleeve of her right hand, looking at the family sitting at the table next to her who had already begun to eat breakfast in a hurry, she also picked up the spoon and gently scraped a spoonful on the edge of the bowl, then exhaled, and after seeing that the hot smoke on it was slightly less, she opened her mouth and bit the front edge of the spoon, and took a sip. Then the eight words flashed through Qin Xiaogu's mind in an instant, the meat was soft and delicious.

Qin Xiaogu spent his university career in Guangzhou, a very developed and open city in Guangdong, which does not have a very prejudiced attitude towards outsiders, but has a different attitude towards accepting outsiders, they are a very traditional city.

They trust Chinese medicine more than Western medicine. Compared with spa and fitness, they believe more in food therapy, tai chi martial arts and the like.

However, in many cities, Guangzhou is a very distinctive city, with a variety of food and health regimens.

And Qin Xiaogu, who was very fortunate to come to this city, really exercised his excellent cooking skills here, and the porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork seems to be a very simple delicacy, but it takes far more effort to make it.

In addition to some simple cooking techniques, the first thing that is very important in making food is the handling of ingredients, the second is the cooking ingredients and cooking tools, and the third is the cooking methods.

For example, the rice used in the mortal world is the same as that in the immortal cultivation world, there are very many kinds, the most suitable rice for cooking porridge in the mortal world, Qin Xiaogu doesn't know, but the most suitable rice in the immortal cultivation world is the pearl spirit rice in the East Continent, the texture of the pearl spirit rice is very fine and soft, and the porridge cooked out is soft and delicious.

Similarly, meat and preserved eggs need to be carefully selected.

The selection of ingredients is more of an experience and intuition, which is either based on accumulation or talent.

In addition to the ingredients, the next thing that is more important is the cooking utensils, Gu Qin Xiaogu understands, it should be a magnetic mine. In fact, Qin Xiaogu doesn't involve too much in the area of ore, because there are too few books on this aspect, and Qin Xiaogu doesn't have a systematic learning environment, and many things are vaguely and probably know such a state.

Minced meat under cold water, rice after the water is boiled, boiled over high heat, boiled over low heat, and finally preserved eggs are put in, etc., only under such a delicate and skillful operation will the porridge be cooked to perfection.

Unlike Qin Xiaogu, Shinichi Zhenren only regarded eating as a task to conceal his identity, he took a few sips to cover up his identity, and then said goodbye to Qin Xiaogu and prepared to go back to the room.

Qin Xiaogu was different from Shinichi's casual response, she took a sip of porridge, felt the softness of the rice beating on the tip of her tongue, and felt the breath of plants echoing in her mouth.

When she opened her eyes, she saw countless people chatting and walking towards the land with hoes, and this feeling was like seeing a friend she hadn't seen for decades, and she was naturally full of memories.

Saying goodbye to the farmer, Xiao Gu seemed to have forgotten the original purpose of his practice, but found his previous habits, while walking around, shuttling through the streets and alleys to experience all kinds of ordinary snacks, sometimes when he was interested, he also sat on the side of the street and watched the boss who sold things make them on the spot.

She gradually got rid of the rigor of a cultivator in various manners and languages, but slowly integrated into the life of a mortal, without the contempt of immortal cultivators for mortals, with the atmosphere of superiority, but with Shinichi is also like a real grandfather and grandson, living and having fun.

"Grandpa, let's go here first, and then at the Welcome Inn, I haven't inquired about the price there for the time being, and then"

Zhenyi Zhenren pressed Qin Xiaogu's hand, Qin Xiaogu tilted his head sideways to express his doubts, and Zhenyi's eyes were full of encouragement, "You have to plan our route forward, don't take it as completing a task, don't treat it as finding a career, and don't think about saving a little expense, but take it as your own life, and the scenery along the way as the scenery of life." Don't think too much, don't think too much, let's look at it as we go. What we have to do is not to arrange all the food, clothing, housing and transportation to meet our life, but to adapt to your food, clothing, housing and transportation with the different directions of life. ”

Qin Xiaogu's eyes looked at Zhenyi Zhenren fixedly, and then nodded heavily.

Since you are traveling, do not carry your baggage.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Now it's half past one and a half, and I can't change the habit of saving a day's manuscript in advance, I don't know how long I can last with such a high-intensity workload and learning volume every day, I just hope to at least do my best when I still have passion.
