009 Fried dumplings
In fact, Xu Wen was already attracted by the aroma of fried dumplings before entering the house, and he kept sneaking a glance into the pot when he confronted Xia Qing.
And after Xu Wen reminded her, Xia Qing exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly went up to turn off the fire.
Patronizing and arguing with this guy, the dumplings have already been blackened......
Xia Qing put the fried dumplings in the pot on the plate, and asked Xu Wen with some doubts:
"Anyway, don't you immortal cultivators all know how to go out of the valley and don't eat? How could you be interested in eating...... Speaking of which, you seem to have been yesterday tooβ"
The fact that I only have Qi refining stage cultivation must not be exposed now-
In the cruel world of cultivating immortals, exposing one's true strength is tantamount to seeking one's own death.
Xu Wen coughed a few times, "This is exactly what I want to work with you...... You've come to help me understand and adapt to the world, and in return, I'll protect your family. β
"Our world is very safe, if you have trouble finding the police, you don't need to-"
"In addition, I will also help you find the way to immortality."
"Searching for the Way to Eternal Life...... Meaning, do you want to teach me to cultivate immortals? β
Hum...... These ignorant mortals really can't resist the temptation of becoming immortals......
"However, the matter of cultivating immortals...... It also depends on the individual's qualifications and cultivation. β
"That's really ......," Xia Qing handed the plate to Xu Wen, "Anyway, this plate of dumplings has been fried...... The taste is probably not very good, and if you want to eat it, you said you want to see it, then it may be ......."
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Wenqiang endured his hunger and pretended to be calm, then took the chopsticks handed by Xia Qing, picked up a fried dumpling with a completely fried skin on one side, and quickly put it in his mouth.
Woo β
This is, this is the ......
What a delicacy on earth!
The first bite is immediately conquered by the crispy surface; After a few slight chews, the refreshing filling of corn and pork is blended with the soft and glutinous inner dumpling skin-
The corn is sweet and delicious, the pork is delicious and juicy, and under the harmony of peanut oil, it bursts out with an overflowing fragrance, which melts and spreads in the whole mouth, and the fresh taste of the shallots in the filling makes people feel a sense of unstoppable;
As for the black and mushy part on the other side, it should have been the failure of these fried dumplings, but Xu Wen was the first time to taste it, and he was a very hungry person.
Then Xia Qing watched Xu Wen eat a dumpling like a dumpling, gobbling it up, and immediately felt a little crying and laughing.
Although Xu Wen has been shouting with Xia Qing all the time, don't forget that Xu Wen's appearance at this time is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his voice is also very young and immature, without the handsome posture of an immortal cultivator, those words came out of his mouth, to the breath of a second-year teenager.
Or rather...... Wayward brother?
But I already have a wayward sister and a lively sister, and I actually want a well-behaved brother......
Xu Wen was hungry for most of the morning, and he ate very quickly, and he didn't eat a few bites, but he really choked and kept beating his chest.
"Eat slowly, you ......"
Xia Qing hurriedly poured a glass of water for Xu Wen, Xu Wen drank it in one gulp, and then began to continue to gobble it up.
During this period, Xia Qing kept staring at Xu Wen with her cheeks on her hands.
After Xu Wen took a breath, Xia Qing suddenly asked:
I said...... What are the benefits of cultivating immortals? β
"Tsk...... So you mortals are really ...... The benefits of cultivating immortals still need to be asked? There are many benefits of cultivating immortals, not only can you soar through the clouds and mist, and you can also prolong your life until you live forever, and you will be admired by thousands of people......"
"But to live so long...... What does that mean? β
"To be alive is to have infinite possibilities, and to be able to experience many pleasures that ordinary people cannot achieve in their lifetimes."
After Xu Wen said this to Xia Qing seriously, he then swallowed another fried dumpling.
"If the important people are gone, then it's not interesting to live alone......
"Miss Xia, for everyone...... The most important person should be himself first and foremost. When your strength allows, you can also find a way to assist other important people in the pursuit of immortality together. β
"So, would you have done that?"
Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "Everyone has their own fate, and I go with the flow." β
"Then you must have been alone for a long time, right?"
"I don't argue."
The long road of longevity, the innate qualifications of immortal cultivators and the acquired circumstances will determine the realm they can reach, the higher the realm, the longer the longevity, and vice versa;
Therefore, the journey of most immortal cultivators is actually a game of racing against time.
Before the end of his life, he will strive to break through his own realm, constantly extend his life, and reach the infinite realm.
Xu Wen was already a cultivator in the Mahayana period, with a lifespan of 20,000 years, and now he has only lived a few thousand years.
But the immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period are only more than a hundred years old.
A little comparison of this concept can roughly infer that most of the old people around Xu Wen have died and are no longer in this world.
After muttering for a long time, Xia Qing suddenly burst out again:
"That'...... To become an immortal cultivator, is there a way to resurrect the dead, or turn back time? β
Xu Wen put down the chopsticks in his hand and said righteously:
"This is all forbidden evil art that goes against the way of heaven, and only those miscellaneous pieces of the Demon Sect will be touched."
"Hehe, it turns out that you are not an evil cultivator sent by the Demon Sect?"
"Nonsense...... Of course not! Our Haotian - our Yunlan Sect is a well-known and upright family, and it is our mission to eliminate demons and defend the Tao and help the people of Li and the common people......"
"How can a famous and decent person suddenly lick a girl's face, you are a dead pervert!"
"Ahem, this ......"
I saw Xu Wen, who had finished eating fried dumplings, wiped his mouth, and said expressionlessly: "It is said that you mortals are shallow, in our Qianyuan Realm, this is just an expression of the mutual affection of immortal cultivatorsββ"
"You're a ghost! When I'm a fool isn't it! β
......Shh This woman wasn't so easy to deceive.
Xu Wen smashed his mouth.
"What do you mean by your conspiratorial expression!"
Xia Qing yelled at Xu Wen angrily for a while, and then inadvertently glanced at the clock on the wall, and suddenly panicked: "Delay me so much...... IβI'm going to miss the bus! β
"Buses? It's the six-wheeler you left me on yesterday, right? β
"Did the bus originally have six wheels? Oh no...... It's not the time to complain about this...... Stop talking, don't get in my way. β
Xia Qing hurriedly cooked another pot of dumplings and continued to make fried dumplings, during which Xu Wen had been chatting with Xia Qing in order to learn more about this world, and by the way, he tried to let Xia Qing give him some more fried dumplings, but Xia Qing refused.
"That's all for today...... You eat so much, my sisters don't eat anymore! β
"I have a life-saving grace for your sister, how dare you talk to me like that?"
"If you don't have to make an inch of progress there, how can there be such a cheeky life-saving benefactor!"
Xia Qing didn't have the heart to continue arguing with Xu Wen, she casually stuffed a few into her stomach when she was making fried dumplings to deal with things, and then sealed them with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator.
"That...... What, I'm going to leave for work, so don't you stay at my house, right? β
"Work?" Xu Wen was puzzled, "What is that, is there any benefit?" β
"That's no good, if it weren't for the ...... of life"
Xia Qing explained while changing her shoes, "You can earn money by working, and you can buy food only when you earn money, just like the plate of fried dumplings you just ate was also exchanged for money." β
"I see...... That is the meaning of the spirit stone of this world. Xu Wen remembered that he had heard Sister Xia Qing mention it many times yesterday.
Xu Wen nodded slightly, "Take me to 'work' with me, I also need money." β
"Are you sure? What do you want money for......" Xia Qing was puzzled.
"Naturally, it's in exchange for food," Xu Wen said with a righteous expression, "I won't always rely on you to feed me." β
"I didn't expect your consciousness to be so high......" Xia Qing was a little unexpected, "It's rare that you have a conscience." β
"If there is a choice, of course I also hope to do nothing and let you feed me for nothing."
"What do you mean by having a choice?"
"Didn't your sister tell me?" Xu Wen reminded Xia Qing.
"My sister?" Xia Qing frowned, "You said fog and rain?" β
"Didn't she tell me last night that your family is so poor that you can't open the pot and can't afford to support me at all."
"Why do you remember this kind of thing so clearly, you!"
