[116] Savings
……
The spices in Chen Li's storage bag were naturally not offered by the three of them, but he personally found them.
Because Wu Leng, Wang Danian, and even Forestry were all biased towards most cultivators, in their opinion, the desire for appetite was not a just need for cultivators of the third order and above, so naturally they would not specially prepare all kinds of materials.
If you really want to taste the taste of food, just knock the grain of Bigu Dan.
In addition to the tasteless, original, and various flavors of Bigu Dan, Chen Li put a lot of them in his storage bag.
Those seasonings that could be seasoned were actually found when he was tasting the herbs, but after collecting some of them and putting them in a storage bag, after cultivating to the third order, he almost never used them.
But don't worry about the contents of the storage bag will expire, because there is no such thing as an expiration date for what you put inside.
It is a mushroom-shaped plant with a black body, a white thumb-sized fruit with a sesame flavor, and a brown root-like root with a peppercorn flavor.
Salt...... This most important and basic seasoning was bought by Chen Li in Bird City, after all, most of his reserves were still in the Forbidden Land, and the salt found in the Forbidden Land was still boiled out in a salt well and was not brought.
These seasonings were taken out of the storage bag, and Chen Li's hands were closed, as if they had been thrown into an invisible grinding disc, and it only took a few breaths to grind them into the finest powder.
Various powders successively wrapped the mountain-like ingredients that were roasted by the pale golden fire, and it didn't take long for a faint special aroma to come out of the original aroma of barbecue.
It was the wonderful change of the seasoning and the ingredients at high temperatures, and under the scorching of the pale golden fire, all the aromas mixed and intensified.
But the smell is not unpleasant, on the contrary, it is more like a kind of enjoyment, like an invisible and naughty little hand, lingering on the tip of his nose, teasing, seducing Chen Li's gluttony.
"These monsters smell quite fragrant when roasted, and I don't know what the taste will be like when I actually taste them." Resisting the urge to swallow saliva, Chen Li's eyes lit up.
The invisible scent spread along the breeze, causing a commotion in the dense forest below.
Not long ago, each demon beast group was captured by Chen Li with one or two preys, this amount was naturally nothing for the demon beast group, at most, it made the nearby demon beasts panic, and soon regained their calm.
But after the fragrance came out, it was different, it was clear that they were all demon beasts that didn't eat meat, but they were drooling, and they felt that the food they ate in their mouths was not fragrant, and their noses were stirring, obviously trying to find the source of the smell.
For this change, Chen Li, as the culprit, was a little crying and laughing.
Apparently he hadn't expected this to happen.
You roast yourself, but you're of the same kind, and even if you don't mention that, you're a vegetarian!
After thinking about it, he decided to observe while eating, and quietly stayed in the air to see what else the demon beast group would move.
After a few minutes of grilling, the easiest foods to cook are ready – such as the yellow feather chicken.
The faint mana turned into an invisible glove, enveloping Chen Li's palms, and he ingested a roasted whole chicken in the air and ate it with relish.
At the same time, his mind was released, and his eyes were also staring at the group of demon beasts in the dense forest below.
"Hmm, that's the taste, it's delicious!"
After the chicken is grilled, it is tender and crispy, soft and firm, coupled with the spicy and fresh aroma given by the seasoning, different sensations bloom in the taste buds, making Chen Li addicted.
He gulped down the chicken, and even if the feathers were removed, it was a whole roasted chicken much larger than a human head, and it was swallowed by him like a cloud.
He couldn't get enough of it, so he ate the rest of the roast whole chicken again, and he still felt unsatisfied after eating, so he had to start eating a second, more cooked food, the bighorn deer.
Before a huge roasted whole deer floated in front of Chen Li, it had already automatically broken down into finely minced pieces of meat, just one bite at a time.
All he had to do was open his mouth and wait for the food to be delivered.
Chen Li had already turned his attention back, so he focused on looking at the food in front of him, no longer thinking about superfluous questions, and ate the meat pieces one by one with a comfortable expression.
Sometimes I even have my eyes half-closed.
"It's so fragrant, are these all made by Daoyou yourself?"
An unfamiliar voice burst into his ears, muttering both familiar and unfamiliar, Chen Li opened his eyes in astonishment, stunned for a moment, and immediately began to look for the source of the sound.
"Why didn't you answer? Could it be that he was embarrassed to answer because he ate something that had a master? ”
The voice said again.
Although he couldn't understand the meaning, Chen Li could hear the curiosity contained in it, and because the other party spoke again, he finally found the source of that voice.
"Who are you? Is it the cultivator of this place? ”
Chen Li used his divine thoughts to transmit sounds, squinted his eyes, and looked at the thin figure below the dense forest.
"Oh, I see, long-lost outsider."
The figure below, with a sudden look in his eyes, immediately used his divine thoughts to transmit the voice to Chen Li, and repeated the question he had just asked word for word before replying:
"Of course I'm the owner of this place. As for whether I am a cultivator or not, it can be said or not, it depends on what you think. ”
Encountering the existence of a cultivator again, Chen Li suddenly found that his mood was not as excited as he expected, and even too calm.
Looking at the figure below with half-squinted eyes, Chen Li smiled and said with a divine thought:
"So that's the case, I'm really sorry, in fact, I don't know, it turns out that these ingredients I eat have owners, so let's do it, as long as you can prove that you are the owner of these demon beasts, I am willing to compensate you for the equivalent Xuanshi."
"Hehe, the one who comes is a guest, not to mention that there is a saying that those who don't know are not guilty, needless to say compensation or something, these monsters are not of high value, they can be used as food by existences like us, and it is not in vain for them to come to this world."
The thin figure wearing a cloak and shrouded in a mask that couldn't see clearly said with a smile.
As he spoke, a bone whistle appeared in the other party's hand, put it on his mouth and blew it gently, and the sharp flute sound spread out in an instant, I don't know how far, as if it was responding to this flute, regardless of the population, the demon beasts of any demon beast group made a special sound at this moment.
Chen Li watched all this silently.
He knew what the other party was doing this move to do - to prove that he was the owner of these monsters.
"This is a fifth-order Xuanshi, which should be more than enough to buy these demon beasts I ate."
After a moment of silence, a dark stone appeared in his hand, Chen Li threw it down, and he said apologetically:
"I came here not long ago for some reason, and I saw that there are so many edible monsters here, so I had some appetite, I never thought that the monsters here actually have owners, so I took the initiative to catch them and roast them to eat, I feel very sorry for the trouble I caused, and please accept this Xuanshi."
"You're interesting, I said I didn't need compensation and insisted on compensation." Although he said this, the thin figure covered in a wide black cloak did not refuse Chen Li's Xuanshi.
He took the Xuanshi that slowly flew in front of him, and commented in his mouth: "Well, it's a good color, and the purity of the mana of the guy who made it is not low." ”
Because he used the Divine Mind Transmission, Chen Li could understand what he meant, only to hear the man speak again: "I already know the situation of Daoyou, I think this thing should be quite suitable for Daoyou's current situation, this thing is not precious, it can be regarded as compensation for Daoyou." ”
A green seed was taken out by him, and then floated in front of Chen Li, "This thing is called the Seed of Knowledge, which records a common language and corresponding characters in the nearby area, and it should be much more convenient to have this thing if you move around here." ”
After a pause, seeing that Chen Li's expression didn't seem to have changed much, he thought that he didn't know how to use it, so he continued: "The use of this thing is very simple, you can eat it, you can touch it with blood, or you can use it to infuse it with divine thoughts, you can choose any of the three methods to achieve your goal." ”
"I see, thank you." Chen Li nodded, and said with a grateful look on his face: "I am also embarrassed by the language barrier, I didn't expect that Your Excellency solved such a big problem for me as soon as you came out, and I also caused so much trouble to Your Excellency, I am really ashamed......"
"Hahahaha, Daoist friends don't mind, I already said before, the value of those demon beasts is actually not high, not to mention that Daoyou has already compensated, they are not valuable things, if you really want to be more serious, I still take advantage of it."
The figure below suddenly lifted his feet off the ground, jumped up, and came to the same height as Chen Li, and finally suspended quietly in front of him.
"Formally acquainted, my name is Kou, I wonder if there is a chance to know the name of my friend?" As he spoke, the other party suddenly lifted his cloak, revealing a handsome young face.
"My name is Chen Xiaobai." Chen Li said with a smile.
"Well, little white friend...... Daoist friends don't mind if I call you that, do you? He asked with a chuckle.
Chen Li nodded and said, "Of course I don't mind." ”
Seeing Chen Li nodding, he said again: "Distinguished guest from afar, it is my honor to meet you, and please forgive me for my rudeness-may I ask Xiaobai Daoyou, what is the secret ingredient for you to roast the demon beast meat just now?" Can it be easily revealed? I am willing to give precious materials or knowledge to exchange with you! ”
The look on the robe did not seem to be fake, and he looked at Chen Li seriously.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Chen Li's remaining meat, and the mellow and novel fragrance had been distracting him.
Hearing him say this, Chen Li was surprised at this time.
Chen Li couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Barbecue seasoning?!" Do you need it badly? ”
"Oh...... Little white friends, do you call this kind of excellent grilling sauce as a barbecue seasoning... Well, this is well deserved, simple but not simple, worthy of being a special chef who can make this kind of sumptuous monster feast! The voice of the rob looked at Chen Li in surprise with admiration and abrupt taste.
“???” Chen Li looked at him with question marks on his face.
A Grand Chef? What is this again? Name?
Suddenly there is an extra title, how did I not know?
Also, you're blatant sycophants, aren't you?
And it's so straightforward...... Chen Li suddenly had the urge to cover his face.
After thinking about it, Chen Li used mana to manipulate the rest of the food and pushed it towards the robe, "Actually, this is nothing at all, it's just some simple use of nature's spices, I can give it to you if you want, in your words, it's not a precious thing, you don't need to give me much good material exchange." ”
Chen Li said as he took out the remaining bit of spice powder from the storage bag, and he said apologetically:
"There's a little more food just baked, so that's all there is left, and I can't help it if I want more, if I'm not afraid of trouble, I can give you the appearance and nature of these spices, you can look for them in the wild, because I also found them in the wild."
"Daoist friends don't have to be like this, this is enough, really, you have done me a great favor!" His face was excited, and he carefully took these spices.
Then he said something that made Chen Li feel very surprised: "Thank you for your kindness!" Little white Daoyou, I have already written down your help today, and if you need it in the future, just ask! It's also a good idea to go to the soup! ”
The corners of Chen Li's mouth twitched, and his face was unnatural: "Your Excellency's words are serious, it's just a few spices, if you are willing to work hard to find it, you can easily find a large piece." ”
"No, no, no!" For Chen Li's words, Cao shook his head, and said with an extremely serious expression: "That's because you don't know how strange we are here, and when you stay here for a while, you will know how much you have helped me, and it is completely worthy of my solemn treatment!" ”
"Hahahaha, with these seasonings, I will definitely be able to go further, this time the auspicious hexagram is really spiritual, auspicious and auspicious, hahaha!" I don't know what I remembered, but at first he laughed in a low voice, and finally turned into two exaggerated laughs that he couldn't suppress.
Chen Li: "......"
Although he wanted to say something, as for it, but in view of his ignorance of this place, he chose to remain silent in the end.
"Thank you for your hospitality! This is half of my life savings, although it is still not enough, but I can't take out more things, the rest can only wait for the next meeting to pay it back, I will take the first step, Xiaobai Daoyou will meet again! ”
A ring was thrown out of the robe, and he saluted Chen Li in the air, and in a blink of an eye, the whole person disappeared into the air.
Chen Li's eyes widened, and the shock and surprise in his eyes were undisguised - the other party seemed to be a seventh-order boss!
