On the roof of Chai Mu's new house, except for Yu Niang, the rest of the people were here, knocking melon seeds, and asking him about the harvest and process of going to see Xuantong Ancestor this time.

As for the Jade Lady...... After returning from Xuantong Ancestor yesterday, I took the car back to Blood Sail Island early this morning.

Why did you leave early this morning?

Well......

Ding Xiaoyi sat on the chair, wordless hands, touching his two pairs of big waists.

I believe that after last night's battle with billions of troops, it will take a long time for my treasury to make up for it.

Of course, the reason why Yu Niang wants to leave is that on the one hand, she has seen what it means to be outside the sky.

She is a strong woman who has to take the initiative in whatever she does.

So here, after a blow, plus last night I used my privileges.

Yu Niang is very decisive to go back and improve her strength as soon as possible.

On the other hand, she needs to bring her new little brother Mi Monster back to replace the old crew members on the Demon.

What's more, she got a dragon corpse in the Elysian Dream this time, and she didn't have to guess to think that she was in a hurry to go back, and she must have strengthened her Demon battleship.

"Hey, ruthless!!" Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"So, that old filthy turtle, the conspiracy succeeded?" After listening to Ding Xiaoyi tell about the experience of the Ten Thousand Turtle Nest.

Everyone was very interested to know what it was like at that time.

"But isn't it, you haven't seen that movement, the entire Ten Thousand Turtle Nest is about to be overturned."

Ding Xiaoyi described with an exaggerated expression.

But it can't be an exaggeration, after all, the movement is really big.

Others move a lot at night, and to die is to harass the neighbors.

Xuantong Ancestor is good, the entire Ten Thousand Turtle Nest is afraid to know how amazing the movements of these two big goods are.

"Hmph, you can get it, you two tossed for a night last night, just count your Huan!"

Tu Tu knocked the melon seeds and glared at Ding Xiaoyi angrily.

Apparently disturbed by his ghost crying wolf howl.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Ding Xiaoyi with ambiguous expressions.

Especially Liao Qiu, who was sitting next to him, pushed his elbow against him, with a look that we all understand, which suddenly made Ding Xiaoyi blush.

Immediately, he coughed lightly twice, as if he hadn't heard Tu Tu's complaints.

He took out the Five Elements Stone and placed it on the table.

At this time, even Zhao Wenhe, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but open her eyelids.

The stones in the box have been converted between the five elements at will over time, which is very beautiful.

In between, this Zhao Niangniang took the stone in her hand and played with it for a while before she spoke: "It's a pity that I missed the opportunity and can only be reduced to the day after tomorrow!" ”

"The day after tomorrow?"

Ding Xiaoyi's eyes widened, not understanding the professional terms in Niangniang's mouth.

The white chubby explained: "All things are innate and acquired, just like people, some diseases are congenital, and some are acquired. ”

The molding of the Five Elements Stone itself is very harsh and requires a lot of chance, but if the opportunity comes, maybe there will be a chance to turn into a congenital, then it is not called the Five Elements Stone, but the Five Elements Stone.

If it becomes a multicolored stone, it will be a big treasure.

But even so, to be affirmed by these bigwigs, the value of this stone is finally worth the weight of the fruit of bliss.

"Hmph, this old filthy turtle thief is very good, a stone can be regarded as blocking our mouths."

The bad old man sat down with a cigarette stick in his hand and sneered.

"So what do you think I should do with this stone?"

Ding Xiaoyi asked while the iron was hot.

He has a lot of treasure materials in his hands, not to mention the treasures that the second primordial god scavenged from Lingchun Zhenren's lair this time.

There are more treasures that have been accumulated before.

For example, Liao Qiu sent his own blood sea gold, the crape myrtle shell salvaged from the sea, the piece of divine wood that Xuantong Ancestor gave him, and then counting the Five Elements Stone in front of him, he has a lot of top materials in his hands.

But he has never dared to start at will, precisely because these materials are too rare and valuable.

If you can't make a piece of fine work for yourself, I'm really sorry for these materials.

At this time, while these bigwigs are here, it is natural to ask what this stone can do.

"Well...... this"

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Zhao Wenhe, after all, Niangniang was here, how could they dare to dictate power.

However, Zhao Niangniang was obviously not interested in this stone, which was not the main purpose of her coming here today.

Facing the eyes cast by everyone, she turned her head: "Don't ask me, I don't have much research on these." ”

Seeing that Niangniang didn't plan to speak, Bai Chubby suggested that Ding Xiaoyi combine this thing with his power of the five elements.

As for how to combine, Bai Chubby didn't have time to say anything, but he was interrupted by the bad old man: "This is your own business, we can't point too much to you." ”

Seeing this, the rest of the people nodded.

When it comes to them, they know that some detours must be walked through in person to truly experience.

Just like the authors who type on the keyboard and write.

Even if you teach him hand-in-hand, without the accumulation of millions, or even millions of words, they will not be able to write anything.

There are many things in this, which can only be perceived by yourself, and no matter how much others say, they can only be used as a reference, and they may not be useful to you.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi no longer dwelled on this issue.

As Bai Chubby said, combined with the power of his own Five Elements Rules, this sentence is enough, and other things should be pondered slowly by yourself.

He was talking.

I saw Chen Lao coming up from downstairs with a plate.

Before the plate was served, a unique fragrance came to the nostrils, which made everyone's eyes light up, and they looked at the plate in Chen Lao's hand with anticipation.

As the lid was lifted, a white vapor filled the crowd.

Through this layer of fragrant steam, I saw triangular zongzi appearing in front of everyone.

Look, the Dragon Boat Festival is just a few days away.

Every household began to prepare and cook the rice dumplings.

Ding Xiaoyi remembered that as early as when he was a child, every Dragon Boat Festival, walking along the streets and alleys, he saw some old people sitting in front of the courtyard gate, taking advantage of the sun to wrap zongzi.

It is a special festival, one of the few festivals that has been preserved by the summer people.

As for the origin of the festival, no one has remembered it for a long time, and the reason why it will be preserved and even carried forward.

The reason is only ......

Well, the rice dumplings are delicious.

The fresh bamboo leaves and the glutinous rice wrapped in white flowers exude a unique fresh air and the sweet aroma of rice during cooking, all of which make people appetize.

Red dates, candied fruits, preserved fruits, meat floss, sweet or idle.

Zongzi, which symbolizes a good harvest and hard work, is no longer a dispute between salty and sweet, because there are so many different flavors that there is always a taste that will leave a deep impression on your taste buds.

For example, durian rice dumplings......

"Let's try it, this is the rice dumplings that have just come out of the pot, and they are the most delicious."

The bad old man and Bai Chubby on the side were not polite at all, one for each of them.

Zhao Niangniang has been waiting for this pot of zongzi for a long time.

Pick up one, pick up the cotton rope outside lightly with your fingers, and open the zongzi skin, only to see that the glutinous rice inside is crystal clear, slender and full.

Different from ordinary glutinous rice, these glutinous rice, at first glance, look like crystal.

This glutinous rice is naturally not an ordinary item, it is auspicious rice brought by Zhao Niangniang herself.

Although it is similar to Fukuzawa duck, it is more precious than it, and of course, it is also the staple food of 'Wufu pig'.

Usually only when it comes to the emperor's birthday, can it be eaten.

Now it's been served by the mother.

The bad old man and Bai Chubby guessed that it must be that the emperor's bet did not come out of the way, which annoyed Niangniang, and in order to compensate Niangniang, he gave such a precious auspicious rice to Niangniang and left.

"Hey, hey!" The two looked at each other and smiled, thinking that the emperor was questioned by the mother and laughed at the cold wind, his expression must be very exciting.

The auspicious rice is crystal clear, making the whole zongzi look like a handicraft cut out of crystal.

You can even see what is wrapped inside through the rice dumplings.

For example, the zongzi in Niangniang's hand is wrapped in a dark red sugar core.

This is a brown sugar dumpling.

Don't seem to think it's very simple, the craftsmanship and process are extremely complicated.

Unlike ordinary brown sugar dumplings, pour a layer of brown sugar on the outside of the rice dumplings and you're done.

That's called laziness.

The brown sugar core here is buried in the zongzi, and the sugar balls are slowly sealed layer by layer with glutinous rice flour, and then frozen into ice balls, so as to slow down the melting time of the sugar balls during cooking.

The workmanship is very troublesome, and if you don't do a good job in the slightest step, the sugar ball will melt away, and the crystal-like zongzi in front of you will be dyed red, and you won't be able to achieve such an amazing effect in front of you.

I saw that the mother used chopsticks to clip it, and the warm soup in it immediately diffused out of the zongzi, and in a blink of an eye, the plates in front of her were dyed red.

After taking a bite, the fragrance of glutinous rice and the fragrance of bamboo leaves are mixed together.

The unique flavor of zongzi is integrated and filled between the lips and teeth.

Coupled with the viscous brown sugar juice, I eat it in my mouth for a while, but the sweetness seems to follow the taste buds and sweeten into my heart.

If there is a medicine for mood in this world, then this medicine must be sweet.

Sure enough, after eating the freshly baked zongzi, Niangniang's cold face suddenly improved a lot.

"The next pot of zongzi will come out of the pot immediately, and I will put it in the food box for everyone."

Chen Lao said and went down to work.

In addition to brown sugar, there are also candied date dumplings, eight-treasure dumplings, fruit dumplings, pork belly, salted egg yolks, and so on.

After Ding Xiaoyi picked one up and ate it, he couldn't help but sigh that Yu Niang ran too fast, and he didn't have time to enjoy such a mouthful, thinking that he would pack a copy later, and send it to Yu Niang by express delivery with a letter from his ancestors.

After eating two zongzi in a row, Ding Xiaoyi found that he actually began to have a little golden light on his body, but after a closer look, he found that the golden light on his body was not the same as his own.

"What is this??"

Ding Xiaoyi was stunned, looked back, and found that in addition to himself, only Brother Qiu was the same.

Tu Tu ate an eight-treasure dumpling and explained: "Fool, just like Fuze Duck, this is a sign that you have obtained auspiciousness, continue to eat, and see what auspiciousness you have!" ”
