Chapter 68: The Poison King

The finch princess nodded: "He said it himself!" However, he is a rare upright gentleman, and to make him a friend, the finch is already very happy and satisfied! ”

Although she said this, Xiaoguo knew that she should be a little hurt in her heart, and couldn't help but comfort: "Good sister, there are many good men in the world, another day, my sister will definitely choose a few first-class beautiful men, carefully inquire about the eight generations of ancestors, and then introduce them to my sister one by one for you to choose, okay?" ”

Princess Sparrow pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister thought she was picking clothes!" However, presumably when I returned to China this time, my mother had already chosen a good husband for me, and my sister didn't have to worry about it! ”

The marriage of the princess and prince is mostly a marriage, and she can't help herself, Xiaoguo can't help but feel distressed, this innocent girl.

She beat her spirits and quipped: "When the finches get married, you must send an invitation card to invite us to the wedding!" ”

"Naturally!" The finch princess smiled brightly, and her tone was unusually affirmative.

provoked the three of Xiaoguo to look at each other and laugh: "What a cheeky girl!"

The finch princess made a grievance and said, "You actually make fun of the finch together!" The finches are ignoring you! ”

Thinking that after that, there may be no possibility of seeing them again, but my eyes are really red.

Seeing this, the three of Xiaoguo panicked, and were busy coaxing her to tease her.

Princess Sparrow wiped away her tears, and a hint of cunning flashed in her big eyes: "Sister, can you make some more delicious food for the finches?" ”

Empress Dowager De clapped her hands and smiled: "This greedy cat's move turned out to be to beg for a stutter?" ”

Xiaoguo smiled enough, rubbed his stomach and said, "This is nature, tell my sister what she wants to eat!" ”

"Finch's favorite thing is to eat the boiled fish made by my sister!" Princess Finch's face had already turned clear, and she said without hesitation.

"I like to eat too!" Xiaobai hurriedly followed suit.

Even the Empress Dowager nodded her head.

"Good! That's it for the main course! Xiaoguo made the final decision, "I'll find someone to copy down the recipe for this dish later." After returning to Qingyun, whenever my sister wants to eat again, she will let the palace chef do the same. ”

"Sister, you're so nice!" Princess Finch was moved to tears, "However, this is my sister's exclusive craft, so it's better not to spread it casually!" ”

Xiaoguo said with a smile: "Food should be spread out, so that more people can taste it to have more meaning!" Besides, the original recipe is not mine! ”

"My sister's mind is broad-minded, and she really doesn't lose to real men! In that case, let's ask my sister to teach the finch! In the future, the finch will also be made for the royal brother and the queen mother to taste! Finch said happily.

"Good! We'll do it later! Xiaoguo said happily.

When the sun moves westward, the heat fades.

Xiaobai went to the school to make up for his homework; Empress Dowager De was busy going back to Fushou Palace to sleep in beauty.

And Xiaoguo, with Princess Sparrow and Bi Tao, came to the kitchen to prepare for the evening practice feast.

In the big tank in the courtyard, there is also the fish she caught with Xiaobai a few days ago.

She caught a few black fish, and after the angelica was slaughtered and scaled, Xiaoguo took out one of the fish and did a demonstration, from slicing the fish to salting the detailed steps.

Princess Sparrow was full of confidence and felt that it was extremely simple, but she could really do it herself, and found that the kitchen knife was surprisingly disobedient.

Bi Tao, who is already half an apprentice, reminded her to help on the side, but despite this, she still used her hands and feet together, making a mess.

Xiaoguo took an iron basin, poured some flour into it, sprinkled it with a little salt, and began to slowly add water to it to knead it into a smooth dough.

"Angelica, help me go to the vegetable garden to pick some kidney beans, plus green onions and coriander!" Xiaoguo said to Angelica, who had nothing to do and looked left and right.

Angelica responded happily, carrying a bamboo basket and trotting out.

Xiaoguo went to the underground ice cellar, took a piece of fresh pork from the imperial dining room in the morning, and found the beef that had been marinated in the porcelain jar before, put it in a basket together, and carried it back to the kitchen.

She washed the pork, added a little fresh ginger, chopped it into a meat filling, added some soy sauce and ground five-spice powder to it, and then added some water to it and stirred it vigorously.

Angelica has not returned.

Xiaoguo took advantage of the time to teach the anxious and sweaty princess of the finch to slice the fish meat: "The knife is diagonally into the fish, and when it is cut, the index finger of the left hand gently touches the fish into the knife, and pushes the entire blade through the fish fillet!" ”

The finch princess learns very quickly, and soon the film is in shape.

Xiaoguo greatly praised her: "Sister, if you are not a princess, I will keep you as a little apprentice!" ”

Angelica finally returned, and he also brought back a few fresh eggplants, bitter gourd and cucumber, and a handful of leeks.

Bi Tao helped to pick and wash all the vegetables.

"Angelica, start lighting the stove!" Xiaoguo said.

She brushed the stove, poured vegetable oil into the boiled pot, waited for the oil to be hot and emitted green smoke, then put them out, put them in a porcelain basin to cool, pour an appropriate amount of water into another stove, put a steaming tray on the shelf, and put the kidney beans on it to steam and break off.

When the kidney beans have just been steamed and the color turns green, the taste is delicious and the heat is just right.

Xiaoguo takes out the kidney beans, chops them into vegetable purees, cuts the leeks into small pieces, and chops the green onion and coriander into foam.

Then, she mixes all the vegetables together, adds them to the meat filling, pours in the cooled cooked oil, and stirs well.

"Sister Queen Mother, what is this? Meat buns? No! The princess finally got the fish and meat, and she asked curiously, pointing to the mixture in the porcelain basin with her freshly washed hands.

There are already foods like steamed buns in this world, but most of them are minced cooked meat or seafood and vegetables, sprinkled with salt, and steamed in a pot, which is nutritious and rich, but the taste is really not flattering.

Xiaoguo smiled: "Let's not eat steamed buns tonight, my brother who eats steamed buns, dumplings!" ”

"Dumplings? What's that? The Sparrow Princess asked.

Angelica and Bi Tao also heard about it for the first time, and couldn't help but look at her curiously together.

"This dumpling, with the meaning of reunion, is the most suitable as a farewell meal! Sister Finch, I hope we are destined, and we can see each other again and get together again! Xiao Guo took out the dough and put it on the dough table, explaining.

At the end of the sentence, my throat choked a little.

Princess Finch also had red eyes, and she nodded vigorously: "It will be!" ”

Rubbing her eyes a few times with the back of her hand, she smiled and said, "Sister Queen Mother, I also want to help make dumplings!" ”

That night, dumplings with their delicious taste, cute and pleasing appearance, and beautiful meaning, domineering jumped up and became the most popular food.

Even the boiled fish, which has always been firmly occupied and ranked first in terms of word of mouth, has been left far behind.

The next day, Princess Que took the good memories of Hong Yanguo, the gifts given by Xiaoguo, and with a strong reluctance, embarked on the return journey back to Qingyun Kingdom.

Somewhere deep in the mountains, at the bottom of a valley, smoke-filled, patches of poisonous snakes crawling on vines, lizards crawling around at great speed, and swarms of poisonous scorpions between mountains and rocks.

Here, it's the poisonous valley that makes people talk about it!

In the poison valley, there is a hundred-year-old banyan tree with a trunk as thick as more than ten zhang, and the branches are hung with colorful and rare poisonous snakes.

A man in black shrouded in a cloak calmly passed through the middle of the poison, and the overlords of these poison valleys, like a nemesis, dodged one after another, and he walked all the way unscathed, dodging into the cave hidden behind the banyan tree.

After walking along the cave for about 100 meters, a circular point of light appeared in front of it, and after walking dozens of meters, it reached the end.

"What?" A big man with his arms and a meaty face appeared from the darkness and stopped him and asked.

"Give bamboo to the panda bear!"

After the code, he was allowed to pass.

Out of the hole, another gorgeous scene appeared in front of me.

I saw that here the green mountains surround, the blue stream flows slowly, the fragrance of flowers lingers everywhere, all kinds of strange flowers and plants can be found everywhere, the bamboo buildings with ingenious and exquisite design are half hidden in the bamboo forest, and the wisps of smoke are swirling in the valley, this situation and this scene make people feel like they have strayed into the fairyland.

The man in black seemed to be accustomed to the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he didn't look at it, so he walked straight towards the largest bamboo building.

"Meet the Valley Lord!" The black man got down on one knee.

An old man with white sideburns was practicing calligraphy at the desk, and he didn't raise his head and asked, "But did you find Xuezhi?" ”

The man in black replied: "The medicine mountain has been dug three feet into the ground, and no trace of Xuezhi has been found!" The lord of the big fang sent me back, please tell the lord of the valley what to do next! ”

"Humph!" The old man threw the pen in his hand, "Waste, you can't even do this little thing, you tell the big owner that if he is like this again, he doesn't have the slightest opinion of his own, and he can't find the whereabouts of Xuezhi, so he doesn't have to go back to the valley!" Lao Tzu doesn't have a stupid apprentice like him! ”

The man in black trembled and took the order to leave.

The woman, who had been standing beside the old man without saying a word, walked to the side of the desk, poured a cup of tea, handed it to the old man, and whispered: "Why does the master say such heavy words to the senior brother!" You obviously know that the blood mushroom was cultivated by the 'ghost hand pulling people' for several years, how can it be so easy for people to find! ”

The woman is dressed in white, beautiful and natural, and it is the white feather that Xiaoguo and others have not seen for a long time.

"Alas! The love is deep, and the responsibility is urgent! Ling'er, I have higher expectations for him, but if it weren't for that, how could I trust the poison valley to him after a hundred years! The old man sighed.

This old man is the drug king who is talked about by the people of the rivers and lakes - Cheng Feng!

Cheng Feng accepted three apprentices in his life, the eldest apprentice Chu Wu and the second apprentice Chi Wu, and the third apprentice was Bai Ling, who was later admitted to the door.

Chu Wu is Cheng Feng's illegitimate son, with moderate talents, and he is humble and generous, and his heart is full of resistance to poisons, so it can be said that except for his appearance, he is not at all like his father.

Chi Wu and Bai Ling were his apprentices in the later period, and their talents in drug production were extremely high.

Among them, Chiwu is ambitious and vicious, so much like his master; Bai Ling, on the other hand, is innocent and has few desires, seems to be well-behaved, but in his heart he resists everyone's approach, and is an extremely difficult character to control.

The only son is cowardly and incompetent, but the cubs around him have grown into fierce beasts, and they are about to get out of his control, staring at him with salivation, and the poisonous world that he has worked hard all his life to build, Cheng Feng is not happy to see such a situation.

However, he was unwilling to pull out this stinger that had been carefully cultivated for many years and had not yet been used.

It seems that letting Chu Wu grow rapidly and be strong enough to deter Chi Wu is the best of both worlds, so under his coercion and temptation, Chu Wu took the task of going to Yaoshan to snatch the blood mushroom!
