Chapter 90: Versatility
After being busy for nearly two hours, the hustle and bustle has passed, and most of the rest of the people are satisfied, except for those big demons who are staying.
Tang Xuan quietly slipped out of the residence, wanting to leave the Joy Building.
Unexpectedly, there were a lot of guests in this joy building, and there were still demons coming in and out at this moment, so Tang Xuan was not interrogated.
There were many fewer people on the street, Tang Xuan hurried and came to a stone bridge, which was the place where he met the soul when he came in.
"Hey, are you still there?" Tang Xuan came to the river and asked.
Not long after, the woman's soul floated out of the water and levitated in front of Tang Xuan.
"Imp...... How bold are you to sneak into this place! Your cultivation is not enough, and with such means, it is impossible to hide all the big demons in this god general's mansion. This soul seemed to see Tang Xuan's identity, and circled around Tang Xuan, and a cold aura surrounded Tang Xuan, making him a little uncomfortable.
"Where is this?"
"This place is the former Lingwei God General Qin Mingyu in the mortal mansion, after the death of the god, many big demons came to hunt for treasures, but they gained little, so they stayed here...... This Divine General's Mansion attracts a large number of immortal cultivators every year, and they seize it to improve their strength. The woman's soul spoke of the origin of this place.
"This senior, thank you for reminding me, how can I escape from here?" Tang Xuan no longer wanted to complete the task of General Wei De, he just wanted to save the dog's life.
"I was a master of the Netherworld when I was alive, and I had a soul bloodline, so my soul can remain so condensed, I can communicate with others, and I can also see that you are a human being...... However, there is a strong prohibition here, and even with my strength during my lifetime, I can't escape from this place, and I can only become a lonely soul. ”
Ji Lan...... That is, the fox Xiao Ji, she also belongs to the soul system, the strength is strong and weird, although this woman is not as good as Ji Lan, it should not be too bad, even if she has such strength, she is still killed, and she can't leave after death, which shows the weirdness of this place.
Tang Xuan's face was even more ugly, the strength of the masters of the Tongyun Realm was far above the Jiedan Realm, and there were only twenty people in the entire Great Liang Kingdom, and most of them were hermit masters, and they were already considered to be strong, but even with such strength, they could not escape.
"It seems...... I'm also unlucky! Tang Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.
"I've been here for years, and I've discovered that there's a forbidden place in the north where even souls can't enter...... Well, I can't say any more, or I'll be seen by those big demons and my soul will be destroyed. With that, the woman's soul sank into the water and vanished.
It waits for the day when it is free again, and then goes to the underworld to be reincarnated.
Tang Xuan stood up and was about to walk back, when he suddenly found a tall figure standing behind him, it turned out to be the big demon dragon!
"You little demon, you actually went out without permission, see if I don't teach you a lesson!" Tu Long's face was ruthless, and he grabbed it in the void with one hand, and actually condensed a thunder and lightning whip in his hand out of thin air.
He swung his long whip and slammed it towards Tang Xuan, Tang Xuan didn't dare to use his strength, so he could only raise his hand to block, and every blow made him numb, leaving scorched black scars on his skin.
"Hey, I'm just going out for a walk, don't fight......" Tang Xuan's heart was full of anger, but he couldn't resist.
This Tulong refused to give up, and after a hundred strokes, he stopped and said angrily: "If you don't go back to sleep, let me find you running around, I will definitely want you to look good!" ”
Tang Xuan's expression was gloomy, and he followed Tulong and walked back.
You toad eyes, Lao Tzu remembers you, today's hatred will be doubled!
Tang Xuan secretly made up his mind......
In the evening, it was the busiest time of the day, and the room was steaming.
Tang Xuan, who was doing chores, was also busy, he had been working for an hour, but he didn't have a moment of leisure.
"Stop, stop!" A shrill voice came, and everyone stopped what they were doing one after another and looked at the door.
The fox demon woman hurriedly walked in, followed by a subordinate with a wooden basin in his hand.
This fox demon's name is Bai Xin, and he is the manager of this joy building, except for the boss who rarely shows up on weekdays, this Bai Xin's status is the highest.
The wooden basin was placed on the table, Tang Xuan glanced at it, and there was a large white fish close to it, this big fish had a slender body like a catfish, but it had no beard, and it looked quite fat.
"Lord Yuan Su is here, let's cook with this white-scaled fish...... Which of you will do it? ”
There was an instant silence, and these big demons looked at each other, and no one dared to take on this task.
This Lord Yuan Su is a white ape demon, who has been a demon for 20,000 years, and has the cultivation of the Secret Realm, and is the strongest person in the underground palace of this god general's mansion.
He acts cruelly and domineeringly, and will punish him if he is displeased, and even the demon clan will be made into food by him, and all the demons dare not disobey.
"Tulong, I remember that your skills in making fish are good, would you like to give it a try? If you are satisfied, you will be rewarded! The fox demon Bai Xin looked at the big demon Tulong.
Tulong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said: "Although this white-scaled fish is delicious, it has a strong fishy smell, which is extremely difficult to remove, and as long as this fish dies, the meat will change its flavor in a short time, and it cannot be cooked at all...... If it doesn't suit Lord Yuansu's taste, I'm afraid I'll be executed! ”
When the demons heard this, they also lowered their heads, one by one like frosted eggplants.
Most of the cooking skills of the demon clan were learned from humans, and they all learned half-heartedly, and they didn't dare to be ugly at all.
"You guys one by one, you dropped the chain at the critical moment...... But the adults are waiting, and if he gets angry, I'm afraid he will put you and the others to death! Don't be afraid if you don't do well, why don't you try it! Bai Xin was anxious, crossed his waist, and reprimanded loudly, but still no one dared to answer.
"Ahem...... If adults believe me, I'm willing to give it a try! Tang Xuan stood up, he couldn't keep a low profile, otherwise he would be implicated.
"You? You little demon, do you know the consequences...... There is only one fish in this fish, and if it is not done well, the adults will punish it, and I am afraid that our entire gloryhouse will be unbearable. Bai Xin looked at Tang Xuan in disbelief, with some disdain in her eyes.
"Although the little one is not very strong, he has a soft spot for cooking...... Adults can rest assured. Tang Xuan clenched his fists, full of confidence.
Seeing that Tang Xuan was so confident, Bai Xin nodded with a condensed face and said, "There is no other way now, but to let you try, don't be careless." ”
"Wait a minute, it's time for a cup of tea!" Tang Xuan came to the side of the wooden basin and picked up the white fish and placed it on the board.
Heat the oil, raise the knife in your hand, cut off the head of the fish, cut off the meat on both sides of the fish along the bones.
This fish is delicate and tender, fat and sufficient, it is a good ingredient, but it is difficult to deal with due to the heavy fishy smell.
Most of the fishy smell came from the fish skin, Tang Xuan quickly cut off the fish skin, cut the fish meat into small pieces, and stirred with spices to remove the fishy smell.
At this moment, the oil pot on the side is already 70% hot, quickly put the fish into the oil pot, and after three breaths, quickly take it out for later use.
"It's such a fast speed, just this knife worker is in this joy building, no one can beat it!" Bai Xin's eyes lit up and she secretly admired.
Quickly cut the fish into small pieces and then fry them in oil to lock in the freshness completely, so that the fish does not spoil and removes excess fat.
Pour out the excess oil, add green onions, ginger and chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, add sauce to taste, then put the fish in a pot and stir-fry, add some side dishes, and immediately the aroma is overflowing.
Bai Xin immediately sent someone to put the dishes on a plate and send them away, Tang Xuan washed his hands and wiped the sweat from his head.
"I didn't expect you to have such a skill!" Bai Xin immediately looked at Tang Xuan with a happy smile.
You don't need to taste it, you can tell that the taste of this dish will never be bad.
"Small...... The little one is not only excellent in cooking, but also excellent in painting! Although the small one is a demon, it is a cultured demon. Tang Xuan said nonsense.
At this moment, a little demon ran in excitedly and said loudly: "Lord Yuan Su is very satisfied, summon the chef to meet!" ”
Bai Xin's face was overjoyed, and he immediately took Tang Xuan there, and the two went up to the top floor of the tall building, and walked to the easternmost private room, Bai Xin knocked lightly on the door.
"Enter." A deep voice came from inside.
Bai Xin opened the sliding door and walked into it with Tang Xuan, some big demons who turned into white-clothed beauties were dancing in the room, like a shock.
The two women next to him accompanied the music, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless.
A long-faced man in a yellow and white robe is lying on his side on the couch, the beauty on the left is fanning, and the beauty on the right is picking vegetables, so comfortable.
This man is not bad-looking, dressed in an ancient style, there is a anger between his eyebrows, not angry and arrogant, his eyes are slightly closed, while chewing the food in his mouth, while beating to the music.
This demon is probably the strongest person here, the big demon Yuan Su, who seems to be a white ape becoming a demon.
"My lord, the chef brought it!" Bai Xin knelt on the ground, and Tang Xuan immediately fell to the ground.
Yuan Su didn't open his eyes, the movements in his hands stopped, and said leisurely: "Who should I be, it turned out to be a human being, no wonder I can make such delicious food...... The demon can't hide the true element perfectly, you've already disguised it well, but you still can't hide it! ”
Tang Xuan's face changed when he heard this, this guy actually saw that he was not a demon, it was really good, the general demon spirit intelligence was not high, but this Yuan Su was an exception, not only was his cultivation extremely high, but his mind was not bad.
Bai Xin was startled, and the killing intent rose in his heart, but he soon began to worry again, and immediately said: "My lord, I will put him to death immediately, and ask my lord to forgive me for the crime of negligence." ”
"This person is a great cook, so it doesn't hurt to stay...... From now on, when I come here, he will be responsible for all the food. Yuan Su waved his hand and motioned for Tang Xuan to retreat.
Walking out with one person and one demon, Bai Xin glanced at Tang Xuan and said, "You kid is hiding so deeply...... It seems that the lake god outside was also killed by you. ”
"Just save your life...... I strayed into this place, there was no hope of escape, I only wanted to save my life, and I asked the steward to take care of me! Tang Xuan's face was flattering, "Not only is my cooking skills exquisite, but also outstanding in other aspects...... I used to be a turtle man, and I was all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, singing and dancing, and my physical strength was also an abnormal person, which would definitely satisfy the steward. ”
"Since Lord Yuan Su wants to keep you, I don't dare to disobey his old man's wishes...... In the future, you will be in charge of his meals, and you can also teach those fools some tricks on weekdays, and Tulong will give you a hand. Although Bai Xin didn't believe in Tang Xuan's loyalty, he could only leave him behind.
"Yes!" Tang Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally gain a foothold here.
