Chapter 144: The Temptation of Food

"Cows that grow up on wheat, straw, and corn are more delicious than cows that eat grass."

When he heard the words "delicious and more", Min Niu's ears suddenly moved, and he stared at Jiang Beiran with a pair of small eyes for a while before continuing to eat with his head down.

Kong Qianqian, who was washing rice, couldn't help but drool when she heard it, and said, "It sounds delicious, hehehe." ”

Jiang Beiran laughed, took out a piece of paper and wrote two lines of words on it, and then handed it to Kong Qianqian and said, "Make rations according to the recipe above, the cow must love to eat it." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Kong Qianqian wiped her hands and took the paper, and after looking at it twice, she ran to Mu Yao and said, "Senior sister, look, look!" Mr.'s words look good! ”

Mu Yao glanced at the paper, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she suddenly grabbed Kong Qianqian's face and said, "I told you not to call him Mr.!" Also, Brother Jiuri's handwriting is much better than his. ”

"Ouch yo yo yo~" Kong Qianqian, who was pinched and hurt, screamed twice and said vaguely: "Of course Senior Brother Jiuri's words are beautiful, but Mr.'s words are also so beautiful, look at this wheat ......"

"Say!" Mu Yao squeezed Kong Qianqian's hand and increased her strength a little more.

"Ouch yo ~ don't say it, don't say it."

"Then don't you hurry up and cook."

Jiang Beiran, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but say to Mu Yao: "You are also like a demon demon girl when you are bullying your junior sister." ”

"You have to take care of it!" After speaking, Mu Yao grimaced at Jiang Beiran.

With a chuckle, Jiang Beiran returned to his fire and continued to cook.

Half an hour later, Ah Niu, who had just drunk half of the gourd Penglai Chun, was just about to lie down and rest for a while, but his nose stirred by himself.

After sniffing vigorously several times, Ah Niu sat up abruptly and looked in the direction of Jiang Beiran.

"Goodo......"

Although I had eaten three crispy yellow dukus made of taro just now, I still couldn't stop being hungry after smelling this fragrance.

When he came back to his senses, Ah Niu found that he had walked to Jiang Beiran's temporary small stove.

Stirring his nose again, the aroma on his face seemed to be accompanied by pepper and red oil to his nasal cavity, sweet and sour, dripping garlic, forcing him to swallow his saliva hard.

Jiang Beiran, who was cutting small ingredients, smiled when he saw it: "Brother Niu, do you want to taste it?" ”

In front of an iron pot, Ah Niu asked, "Childe, what are you doing?" I've never smelled it before, it's so fragrant. ”

"This is called Piaoxiang Hoof, and there are bamboo shoots, meat balls, and quail eggs in it, and the meat is almost cooked at this time." Jiang Beiran said and picked up a wooden spoon and handed it to Brother Niu, "I'm sorry for you to help me taste it." ”

"Hehe, then I'm welcome, thank you son."

Taking the spoon handed by Jiang Beiran, Ah Niu looked at the pale yellow soup lined with slices of oil flowers in the cauldron, and raised the spoon to taste it.

"Ouch! Ouch! I don't even know what to say about this delicious food. ”

"If it's delicious, you can serve a bowl, I'll cook a lot."

"Ouch, that's embarrassing." That being said, Ah Niu's gaze never left the big iron pot at all.

"You're welcome, come, give you a bowl."

After taking the bowl, although Ah Niu was still embarrassed, the spoon in his hand had already reached into the pot, but just as he was about to scoop the second spoonful, he suddenly noticed a head coming out from behind the iron pot, and he was so frightened that he almost spilled the gravy in the bowl.

"Shh Kong Qianqian, who came out from behind the iron pot, hurriedly made a silent gesture to Ah Niu.

Ah Niu nodded understandingly, and continued to scoop his soup.

"You want a bowl of meat, too?" Jiang Beiran looked at Kong Qianqian, who was sneaking over, and asked.

"Hey, hey." Kong Qianqian smiled innocently, "Sir, be quiet, don't let my senior sister find out, I came here quietly to steal food." ”

"Alas, you're also afraid of being miserable for your senior sister." Jiang Beiran said as he put a bowl of meat for Kong Qianqian.

"Thank you, sir." Catching the bowl handed by Jiang Beiran, Kong Qianqian whispered: "Actually, Senior Sister is usually good to me. ”

"If you're happy, eat it."

Nodding, Kong Qianqian lifted her hair and blew on the bowl twice.

"Whew~Whew~"

When the heat dissipated a little, Kong Qianqian picked up the bowl and took a sip of the gravy.

With just one bite, Kong Qianqian's eyes bloomed with a strange light.

"It's a rich taste."

After saying that, he scooped up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

After chewing twice, Kong Qianqian stretched out her left hand and began to break a few words: "There are ginger, garlic, sugar, bay leaves, wine, and ...... Tangerine peel! ”

"What else?" Jiang Beiran asked with a smile.

"And ...... What is this spicy ingredient? It's not like dogwood, it's not like pepper, it has a very peculiar fragrance. ”

"It's called Chili." Jiang Beiran said and handed a red chili pepper to Kong Qianqian.

Taking the chili pepper, Kong Qianqian sniffed and sniffed with her nose like a curious kitten.

"Where is this spice? I've never seen it before. ”

"I grew it myself."

"Wow, sir, that's amazing."

After complimenting, Kong Qianqian picked up the bowl again and tasted the gravy, but when she raised her head again, she almost squirted out in one gulp.

"Division...... Senior sister......" Kong Qianqian looked at Mu Yao, who had a gloomy face in front of her, and shouted, then picked up the bowl and asked flatteringly: "Senior sister, do you want a bowl too, it's delicious." ”

But in the next second, Kong Qianqian was directly dragged away by Mu Yao with the bowl, and halfway through, Mu Yao returned the bowl with a little meat left in Kong Qianqian's hand.

"Woo woo ~ my meat, woo woo ......"

Looking at Kong Qianqian, who was ruthlessly dragged away, Ah Niu sighed sympathetically, and then continued to eat his hooves.

"Qianqian! What's going on with you today, Senior Sister's words are useless, aren't they! ”

Next to the stove, Mu Yao glared at Kong Qianqian and said.

"Yes...... But it's really fragrant, senior sister, listen to me, Mr. Jiang has an ingredient called chili, which is used to cook meat so fragrant, and that gravy......"

Seeing that Kong Qianqian became more and more energetic the more she spoke, Mu Yao pinched her little face and said, "You are my junior sister, you should ignore that Jiang Beiran with me, why do you keep coming to him." ”

"Because it's really fragrant......" Seeing Mu Yao's eyes glaring, Kong Qianqian had no choice but to shut up, but soon she asked cautiously: "But senior sister, why do you hate Mr. Jiang?" Did he do anything bad to you? ”

This question made Mu Yao stunned for a moment.

'yes, when did you start hating him, no, it's not hating...... Just ......'

Mu Yao, who felt a little confused for a while, shouted back: "You don't have to worry about this, don't pay attention to him anyway, go and cook." ”

"Yes~"

Watching Kong Qianqian walk away, Mu Yao lay on the table and thought about this question seriously.

The first time she remembered the name Jiang Beiran was because he defeated her eldest brother, her own omnipotent eldest brother, which made it difficult for her to accept, and then when she learned that Jiang Beiran's cultivation was only the fifth order of Qi cultivation, she couldn't accept it even more.

His eldest brother is such a genius, he would lose to a waste material who only has a fifth-order Qi training.

Although playing chess has nothing to do with cultivation, she just can't swallow this breath for her eldest brother, so she feels that this disciple who only practices qi must have used some disgraceful means to win her eldest brother, after all, these so-called decent people are the most hypocritical, and they are sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact, they are always unscrupulous in order to win.

But when he ran to question him, he turned out to be ......

Shout! Save! Life!

This made Mu Yao even more angry, his eldest brother actually lost to such a spineless person! Since then, she just thinks how unpleasant he is, but the big daddy has to arrange for him to investigate the Yellow Gang with him!

The thought of staying with him for a few decades, or even a few months, made her feel like she was going crazy, so she tried her best to bring Qianqian, the purpose was to make Jiang Beiran more interesting and not to bother herself.

Who knew that this journey had just begun, and it was like I had become the one who was isolated.

Isn't it just that the singing is better, the handwriting is better, and the cooking is a few dishes, what's the big deal? ’

Just when Mu Yao was thinking more and more angry, she suddenly heard Jiang Beiran's voice.

"I've cooked a little more noodles, let's eat them instead."

"Okay! Okay! Kong Qianqian hurriedly agreed, but as soon as she agreed, she looked at Mu Yao nervously.

Mu Yao, who was lying on the table, just wanted to stand up and refuse, but the tempting spicy taste made her unable to speak.

Finally, under Kong Qianqian's cautious gaze, Mu Yao stood up and looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Since you want to eat with us so much, then I will reluctantly agree once." ”

"Oh, it's okay, you don't have to be reluctant, I'm eating with Qianqian, do you want to eat as you like."

"You!" Mu Yao glared at Jiang Beiran viciously, but before she could speak, Kong Qianqian hugged her and said, "Mine is Senior Sister's, let's eat together." ”

"Humph! Who is going to eat his noodles! ”

Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran put two bowls of sweet water on the table, and brought the other meat and side dishes together.

Seeing Kong Qianqian also bring up the dishes she made one by one, the corners of Jiang Beiran's mouth couldn't help twitching twice.

Fried tofu, stewed tofu, stir-fried tofu, stuffed tofu, tofu soup......

'Your tofu is in a meeting, hey! ’

"Do you like tofu so much?"

Seeing that Kong Qianqian finally brought a plate of green vegetables and tofu up, Jiang Beiran couldn't help asking.

"Yes, my sister and I both like tofu very much."

"Okay, then I'll make a mapo tofu for you to try next time."

"Mapo tofu? Who is Mapo? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Kong Qianqian dragged Mu Yao as she spoke, "Senior sister, we can eat different tofu." ”

"Got it! Isn't it just tofu, why are you so happy, eat quickly. ”

"Good~"

With a promise, Kong Qianqian pulled the bowl with sweet water in front of her, and directly picked up the chopsticks and ate it.

"Slippery~Slippery~"

With two mouthfuls of noodles, this time she didn't have to worry about being heard by her senior sister because the sound was too loud, so she slapped the table and danced and shouted: "Sir, this noodle is also delicious!" ”

After saying that, she looked at the sweet water in the bowl with a surprised expression.

It's just a few noodles wrapped in red oil and drizzled with sugar, but the taste is endless, and the taste of the noodles is mellow and chewy, so you can't stop eating it.

"Slippery~Slippery~"

Listening to Kong Qianqian's snorting on the side, Mu Yao suddenly felt that the green vegetable tofu in her bowl had become tasteless.

"Really...... Is it really that delicious? ”

Mu Yao looked at Kong Qianqian and asked.

"Uh-huh! It's really delicious! Kong Qianqian said as she shook her face harder.

Seeing that Kong Qianqian had no intention of letting herself eat a little, the green tendons on Mu Yao's forehead erupted again.

"There's another bowl here, you can eat it."

At this time, Jiang Beiran put a bowl of sweet water next to him in front of Mu Yao.

This time, Mu Yao didn't push away the bowl, but picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'm just a little tired of eating tofu, so I want to change the taste, so I don't want to eat your noodles." ”

Jiang Beiran didn't bother to pay attention to her, and ate by herself.

Although Jiang Beiran didn't look at her, Mu Yao was still very reserved and picked up a noodle and put it in her mouth.

As the tendony noodles snapped in her mouth, the chewiness made her heart fly.

'What is this red oil made of......?' How can it smell so good, huh...... Taste another one, I'm trying to get a taste of how the red oil is made, um! That's it. ’

After convincing herself in her heart, Mu Yao picked up another noodle and ate it.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the nineth......

A bowl of sweet water was quickly eaten by her.

"Hu ......" Seeing that there was not a single noodle left in the bowl, Mu Yao couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but she was relieved to find that the other two people didn't look at her.

'That meat...... I don't know what it tastes like. ’

Seeing Kong Qianqian's satisfied look after eating the meat, Mu Yao couldn't help but swallow her saliva again.

'No! Isn't it just some food, how can a cultivator be greedy for appetite! ’

After reprimanding herself in her heart, Mu Yao continued to take the plate with tofu and began to eat, but after only two bites, she really couldn't eat it.

"Obviously, I felt that Qianqian tofu was pretty good before......

"Senior sister, don't eat tofu, try this, this is much better than tofu." Kong Qianqian said as she put a plate of Mao Xuewang in front of Mu Yao.

"What is this?" Mu Yao asked.

"I don't know." Kong Qianqian shook her head, looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Sir, what is this dish called?" ”

"Mao Xuewang is made of duck blood."

"Blood!?" Kong Qianqian and Mu Yao were shocked at the same time.

"That's right."

"Can you eat duck blood?" Kong Qianqian asked.

"Didn't you eat deliciously?"

"yes." After Kong Qianqian finished speaking, she continued to bury her head and eat hard.

At this time, Jiang Beiran suddenly wondered: "What can you eat this Mao Xuewang?" ”

Hearing Jiang Beiran's question, Kong Qianqian slowed down her chewing speed a little and replied, "Hmm...... It has the taste of chicken broth. ”

"Oh? You've got a pretty good tongue. ”

"Hey, hey." Kong Qianqian, who was praised, smiled innocently, "My father is a cook, so I have eaten a lot of delicious food." ”

"Did you taste anything else?"

"Hmm...... There are also sesame peppers, coriander, and the same red oil as the noodles. ”

"Yes, I do have some talent for cooking."

"Then sir, you will accept my apprentice, you will teach me in the future, and I will make it for you."

"Ahem!"

Hearing her senior sister's cough, Kong Qianqian resolutely continued to eat with her head down.

The appetite of cultivators is much larger than normal, and soon all the dishes on the table were eaten, and even the "tofu family" made by Kong Qianqian was eaten along with the third-line meat fried by Jiang Beiran.

During this period, Mu Yao saw that no one paid attention to her, and secretly ate several mouthfuls of Mao Xuewang, but stealing this kind of thing, no one saw it or never eaten it, so she thought that she still kept the bottom line.

After eating and drinking, and packing up all the kitchen utensils into the Qiankun ring, the four of them returned to the Min ox cart and continued to set off.

After walking for a day and a night, I saw a young Ah Niu on the side of the road and lifted his clothes and asked, "Jiang Gongzi, there is a small town in front of you, do you want to go there to find an inn to rest?" ”

Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to speak, Kong Qianqian shouted first: "Okay, good!" Let's go for a walk around town. After speaking, he grabbed Mu Yao's arm and said, "Okay, senior sister?" ”

"I really can't help you, then go to the town and find an inn to settle in."

Jiang Beiran on the side was about to speak, when he saw three options pop up in front of him.

[Option 1: Everyone goes to town together.] Completion Reward: Heart-Haunting Secret Method (Xuan-level Medium Grade)】

[Option 2: Let Kong Qianqian and Mu Yao go to the town. Completion Reward: Glass Festival (Yellow Grade)】

[Option 3: Don't go to town.] Completion Reward: +1 for random basic stat points]

You know...... Luckily, I prepared in advance. ’

The reason why Jiang Beiran likes to be a lone ranger most of the time is because he knows that if someone walks with him, then the person who is with him will be targeted by the world together.

Take the current incident as an example, if Mu Yao and the others came here by themselves, it is estimated that they would not encounter too much trouble when they went to the town in front, but when they were with him, the trouble would be infinitely magnified.
