Chapter 07: Cultivating Kitchen Qi
Lin Xiaogou boiled another pot of Mingmu soup and drank it, knocked on the door of the room lightly and walked out.
It's not like the metropolis of the previous life, where the lights are constantly lit all night, so it's pitch black at night, especially when the night is quieter, it's so dark that you can't see your fingers. However, at this moment, Lin Xiaogou's eyes were as if he was wearing night vision devices, and the scenery in the courtyard could be seen clearly.
Lin Xiaogou was so excited that the blood of the beast was boiling, this "Mingmu Soup" and "Cong'er Soup" are too bullish, it is simply a necessary soup for night peeping, picking flowers and stealing money.
"Bah, bah, my lord is a good young man with morality, pursuit, and noble character, how could he do such a shady thing!" Lin Xiaogou despised himself, and then happily climbed the courtyard wall to look at the neighbor's house, but unfortunately in the middle of the night, no female relatives of any family took a bath at this time, and finally could only shake his head regretfully, riding on the wall and carefully crawling in the direction of the door.
Soon, Lin Xiaogou found the two subordinates sent by the Snow Pig to keep an eye on them, and at this moment, these two guys were squatting behind a banyan tree not far away, chatting in a low voice.
Lin Xiao hooked his eyes, rolled down the wall and picked up a few stones, and then climbed up the wall.
Two screams broke the pre-dawn calm, followed by two frightened wild dogs in black images, rolling and crawling away.
Lin Xiaogou rolled down from the wall and smiled proudly: "The shooting technique has not been wasted, and he has hit three points in a row!"
Lin Xiaogou was about to tiptoe back to the room, when suddenly a cloaked figure suddenly appeared.
"Damn!" Lin Xiaogou's hair stood on end in an instant, almost scared to pee.
"Young master, what are you doing?" asked the little maid, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
The little maid is wearing white pajamas at the moment, with long hair scattered and interlaced flesh marks on her face, which is really terrifying!
Lin Xiaogou rolled his eyes and said, "Qingqing, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you wandering around, it's nothing to scare away ghosts, what if you scare some flowers and plants, go to bed quickly." ”
The little maid said aggrievedly: "Young master, the slave maid wants to go to the toilet!"
"Uh...... Hurry up, I'm just done!" Lin Xiaogou flicked his long sleeves, and Shi Shiran walked to his room.
The little maid muttered in a low voice in confusion: "Why does the young master get up at night and climb the wall!"
Lin Xiaogou, who had just stepped into the threshold with his front foot, stumbled under his feet and plunged into it gorgeously!
"Oh my god, it's so embarrassing, that little girl won't think I have a quirk of climbing the wall to pee, right?"
Lin Xiaogou listened by the door, heard the little maid return to the room, and waited for a while, then he offered to cook Tianding again, and according to the method taught by the "Jiupin Kitchen Soup", he tried to cook all the thirty-six kinds of first-grade basic soup, and found that they all succeeded easily. However, when Lin Xiaogou tried to cook Erpin Strength Soup, Yiqi Soup and Speed Soup, there was no doubt that they all failed.
According to the record of Zhu Dazui's "Nine Grades of the Kitchen God", if you want to cook a second-grade soup, you must cultivate the kitchen qi to the realm of the second turn, Lin Xiaogou can cook a first-grade soup, indicating that his current kitchen gas water has reached a turn, it seems that he did not learn in vain in the year of "New South", at least he smoked a lot of oily smoke.
After messing around for most of the night, the sky was already cloudy and bright, Lin Xiaogou cooked a pot of soothing soup and drank it, fell asleep on the bed.
This sleep was until noon, Lin Xiaogou woke up with a smile, climbed out of bed and stretched, only to feel extremely energetic, as if he had endless energy.
Lin Xiaogou knew that it must be the effect of the soothing soup, and he was naturally energetic when he slept well.
Pushing the door and walking out of the room, he found that the little maid was not at home, and it was estimated that he went out to purchase, Lin Xiaogou finished washing with water, and went to the kitchen to open the lid of the pot to see, there was indeed a bowl of white porridge and a plate of bread inside, and the intimate little maid had already prepared breakfast.
"Someone to take care of is happiness!" Lin Xiaogou took a bite of gruel, ate a large piece of bread, and swept it clean in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xiaogou had nothing to do after eating breakfast, and suddenly woke up to the nine-turn qi refining method recorded in "Chef God Nine Soups", if he wanted to cook a second-grade strong soup, he had to cultivate his kitchen qi to the realm of two turns.
Lin Xiaogou glanced at the kitchen and found that there was really no food to cook, so he washed rice and cooked rice, anyway, it was noon, and when the little maid came back, she would also have to cook.
Lin Xiaogougou put the rice into the pot, added an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and then lit firewood and stuffed it into the stove.
There is nothing technical involved in cooking rice, the key is to pour out the excess water after the water is boiled, otherwise the rice will be cooked into porridge.
Lin Xiaogou was used to using gas in his previous life, and he was a little clumsy when burning firewood, but he had a flexible mind and soon mastered the essentials, and the fire became more and more vigorous.
As time passed, there was a sizzling sound in the pot, and white vapor kept coming out of the edge of the lid, apparently almost boiling.
Lin Xiaogou hurriedly followed the "Nine Turns Qi Refining Method" to the top of the steam and inhaled it violently!
"!" Lin Xiaogou screamed miserably, and bounced back like someone had stabbed a chrysanthemum.
The temperature of the water vapor is close to 100 degrees Celsius, and how can I go over and suck it, but a certain fool is tragic, covering his nose with tears in his eyes, and his nasal cavity seems to be filled with chili pepper water.
Lin Xiaogou ran to the water and scooped a scoop of water and buried his face in it, and it took a while to ease up.
"Damn, it seems that you have to have skills when you are a range hood!" Lin Xiaogou rubbed the bridge of his nose with a depressed face, thinking that he could inhale more kitchen gas if he got closer, but he didn't want to suffer a big loss.
As the saying goes, eating a sting grows and a wisdom, this time Lin Xiaogou didn't dare to come closer, but just tried silently according to the Nine Turns Qi Refining Method, and gradually found that the position of the Qi Sea Cave in his chest was faintly hot, and the wisps of kitchen qi coming out of the pot were inhaled into the body, and went down through the Yingxiang Cave, slowly flowing into the Qi Sea Cave.
Lin Xiaogou felt abnormal, couldn't help but be overjoyed, added firewood more hard, opened the lid after the water boiled for a period of time, removed the excess water, and continued to simmer.
Soon, there was a dripping sound in the pot, and a fragrance of rice came out, Lin Xiaogou greedily absorbed it, only to see a visible vapor floating into his nostrils, and then spewed out, swirling in the air, and it condensed but did not disperse.
"It turns out that this is called a turn of kitchen gas!" Lin Xiaogou looked thoughtfully at the circle of qi in front of him.
At this time, there was a sound of the courtyard door being opened, it should be that the little maid had come back, Lin Xiaogou hurriedly inhaled the steam back into the Qi Sea Cave, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
As soon as Lin Xiaogou came out of the kitchen door, he immediately saw the little maid rushing over, and the latter saw Lin Xiaogou coming out of the kitchen, he was obviously stunned, and asked nervously: "Young master, why is the kitchen smoking?"
"I just cooked!"
The little maid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, the slave thought it was on fire...... What, young master, are you ...... Cooking?"
The little maid's eyes widened in disbelief!
Lin Xiaogou felt that he was despised, and rewarded the little maid and said, "What kind of eyes, can't Ben Shao cook and buy everything you bought?"
The little maid ate and said: "At the door, I saw smoke just now, and the slave maid ......!"
Lin Xiaogou didn't wait for the little maid to finish speaking and walked towards the courtyard gate excitedly, the little maid immediately ran into the kitchen, and found that there was no mess as imagined, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and opened the lid of the pot to find that a pot of fragrant white rice had been cooked.
"Oh my God, the young master actually cooked a pot of rice!" The little maid was dumbfounded, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe that this young master who couldn't even distinguish between grains and grains could cook rice, and cook it ...... It's so fragrant, it seems to be even better than cooking it yourself.
A hand-pushed cart was parked outside the door, with pots and pans piled up on it, as well as a lot of ingredients, all of which were listed by Lin Xiaogou last night.
The little maid came out of the kitchen in despair, and saw that the young master was struggling to push the cart into the door, and hurriedly ran over to help, while saying, "Young master, you can't do this heavy work, let the slave and maid come!"
The two worked together to push the big cart into the yard, Lin Xiaogou was already so tired that he was panting like a cow, there was no way, this body was too weak, he couldn't carry his shoulders and couldn't lift his hands, plus the wine was excessive, so it was strange that he could do heavy work.
"Grandma's, it seems that you will have to get up early every day to exercise in the future!" Lin Xiaogou rubbed his sore arm and said secretly.
"Qingqing, you are so thin, you can't see that you have a lot of strength, you can get so many things back by yourself!"
The little maid said weakly: "Slaves and maids have been used to doing rough work since childhood!"
Lin Xiaogou looked at the little maid with interest and asked, "Qingqing, everyone else has abandoned me, why do you want to stay and suffer with me?"
The little maid bowed her head and was silent!
"Why?" Lin Xiaogou asked unrelentingly.
"Because the slave has nowhere to go!"
"It's better to find a random family to be a maid than to follow me!"
"The slave is ugly, no one wants it!"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said: "You are so diligent, how can no one be willing to ask for it, by the way, if someone is willing to want you, will you leave?"
The little maid's face suddenly turned pale, she looked at Lin Xiaogou in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Young master, are you going to drive the slave and maid away? ”
Lin Xiaogou couldn't cry or laugh a little, but at the same time he was quite moved, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, how can I drive you away, you can't find a good girl like you with a lantern." ”
The little maid breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she was obviously still a little uneasy, and said in a snort: "Young master, you really won't drive me?"
"Don't rush with a knife rack neck!" Lin Xiaogou smiled: "Look at you, I scared you, Ben Shao let you buy all the back?"
The little maid nodded weakly and said, "I've basically bought everything, but ...... What is the chili pepper that the young master is talking about? The slave maid asked the entrance of the vegetable market, and many people said that they didn't know each other. ”
"Isn't there a chili pepper in this world?"
The little maid took out a red and green round fruit from a cloth bag on the car, and said weakly: "Young master, this is called fire fruit, and the taste is also spicy!"
Lin Xiaogou's eyes lit up, and he took it and scratched the surface and licked it with his tongue, and a spicy taste choked his throat.
"Haha, Qingqing, you are too smart, today Ben Shao will let you taste the unparalleled spicy offal, guaranteed to be delicious to lick your nose!"
The little maid said weakly: "Young master, people can't lick their noses!"
