Chapter 208: Tianqing Tea
Zhou Xuebin has never been to Jiangcheng Yuelaiju, so for the shopkeeper Feng Deyuan, Zhou Xuebin is just an unfamiliar name, and all the people who know Zhou Xuebin are Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang.
The reason why Feng Deyuan decided to send someone to search and rescue Zhou Xuebin was because of Yan Nantian's face, and secondly, he learned from Yan Nantian's mouth that Zhou Xuebin could cook the inheritance dish of Tianbo White Tiger, and he should be a descendant of the Zhou family of Tianbo Hou.
It's just that Yuelaiju is only a restaurant after all, not a mercenary group, so it takes a certain amount of time and arrangement to organize enough search and rescue personnel.
And Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang, because they were too worried about Zhou Xuebin's safety, were ready to rush to the Eternal Forest in advance, and the search and rescue team organized by Feng Deyuan was led by the guide recommended by Chu Han.
After arranging these things, Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang prepared to rush to the Eternal Forest the next day.
Early in the morning, Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang entered the Eternal Forest with the morning glow, although it was not the first time that the Eternal Forest was too big, and it was still an unfamiliar area for Yan Nantian.
The strangeness is not only the region, but also the surrounding vegetation and environment, which are completely different from the eternal forest around Wujiang Town, which makes Yan Nantian faintly feel uneasy.
"Boy, for the sake of my master's business, I have to make a trip for you this time. Walking on the path in the forest, Liu Qiang stretched out his palm the size of a pu fan, patted Yan Nantian's shoulder vigorously, and said.
"Master Liu, if you say that, you can see the outside, Zhou Xuebin's predecessors have been kind to me. Now that he's in trouble, how can I stand idly by. "Yan Nantian is the color of the road.
"Not bad. You kid didn't disappoint me. Liu Qiang put his arm around Yan Nantian's shoulders and said proudly.
Originally. Yan Nantian was able to enter Yuelaiju and be able to get in touch with the spirit kitchen industry, it can be said that Liu Qiang played a decisive role.
Watching Yan Nantian come step by step, not only became a first-order spirit chef, but even his cultivation broke through to the second-order, and his status even surpassed his own, Liu Qiang sighed with emotion, but also was more relieved.
"Boy. You have now reached the second-order cultivation, and I really look forward to seeing the day when you become the second-order chef king. Liu Qiang said with a look of longing.
"Master Liu, don't worry, I won't let you wait too long. Yan Nantian said confidently.
Spirit kitchens are also divided into levels, namely the first-order spirit kitchen, the second-order kitchen king, and the third-order kitchen saint, as for the legend above the third order, there is a more advanced realm, that is, the fourth-order kitchen god realm.
It's just that it's too difficult to become a kitchen god, and there hasn't been a kitchen god in the Tian Yuan Continent for many years. This is too far away for the current Yan Nantian.
In Jiangcheng, it is also dominated by first-order spiritual chefs, second-order chef kings, and there is no third-order kitchen saint. I heard that in the entire Chu State, only the Imperial City had a third-order Kitchen Saint.
These are also things that Yan Nantian slowly learned after becoming a spirit chef.
Along. Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang chatted for a long time, and they were all talking about being separated for a period of time. Some experiences and things on both sides made Yan Nantian concerned about Zhou Xuebin's disappearance. There is also a more detailed understanding.
Worried about Zhou Xuebin's comfort, Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang walked in a hurry, and soon entered the depths of the Eternal Forest, which surprised Yan Nantian a little that many traces of people were found here.
"Master Liu, we've come so far, but I looked at the traces around and found that there should be a lot of people here?" Yan Nantian said.
"Yes, these people should also be here to find Linghuo, I have also met several groups with the master, and some of them even had conflicts, which is also the reason why I am worried, I am afraid that the master will encounter accidents. Liu Qiang said.
"Master Liu, how far is it from the place where Senior Zhou disappeared, can we get there today?" Yan Nantian asked.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it tonight, and besides, there are a lot of demonic beasts at night, and it is much more dangerous to walk at night than during the day. Liu Qiang said.
"Then we have chosen a suitable place to camp, and we will continue our journey early tomorrow morning. "Yannan Heavenly Dao.
"Hmm. Liu Qiang responded, observed the surrounding environment, and said, "Come with me, the first time my master and I came here, we set up a camp near here." ”
After Liu Qiang finished speaking, he walked towards the woods on the west side, Yan Nantian followed him, and the two soon came to a hillside, and the place Liu Qiang said was in the hole behind the hillside.
The area of the pit is not very large, it is less than one zhang high, two zhang wide and long, and the depth is very long, and the inside is quite dry, which is very suitable as a camping place.
The two of them simply cleaned up, Liu Qiang took Yan Nantian to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, and happened to meet a mosquito rabbit on the road, which was caught by Yan Nantian and prepared for dinner.
After returning to the pit, Liu Qiang used firewood to make a bunch of work, Yan Nantian dealt with the mosquito coil rabbit, and then began to prepare to cook the mosquito coil rabbit.
Yan Nantian's waist storage bag contains a lot of kitchen utensils and ingredients, not worrying about no cooking utensils, Yan Nantian thought about it for a while, and decided to use this mosquito rabbit to cook a pot of soup, which can not only be full, but also can drive away the cold, which is most suitable for overnight consumption in the wild.
Yan Nantian has been a chef for decades, and has been a spiritual chef for a while, and he can already create some simple spiritual kitchen dishes, just enough to practice with mosquito coil rabbits.
Yan Nantian has been in contact with mosquito coil rabbits twice, and also knows the meat properties of mosquito coil rabbits, combined with his own cooking skills, added several suitable ingredients, and put them in the pot to cook together.
Not long after, a human aroma squeezed out of the pot, and a faint light leaked from the crack of the pot, and faintly spiritual power spread outward, making the entire pit a little more brilliant.
"It's so fragrant, your kid's cooking skills are getting better and better. Liu Qiang gave a thumbs up and praised.
"This mosquito coil rabbit is originally a delicacy, and I just added some ingredients to cook it temporarily. Yan Nantian said with a smile.
"I've heard before about how beautiful the meat of this mosquito rabbit is, but I haven't had the opportunity to eat it. I didn't expect it to be stained with your brat's light. Liu Qiang stretched out his right hand and fanned the aroma to his nose. While asking, he praised:
"It smells so good. ”
Yan Nantian also nodded, revealing a little smugness. He doesn't have a mosquito rabbit's spirit kitchen recipe, he cooks it entirely based on his own experience, which is not only delicious, but also does not lose a little spiritual power.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, I didn't expect someone to cook mosquito coil rabbits, it's really wonderful, fragrant, and tempting!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside, jumping Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang.
I saw an old man walking not far from the pothole, this old man was hunched back, gray hair, thin and small, and looked very inconspicuous. But the voice is really full of energy.
"Who are you?" Liu Qiang stood up and asked, pointing to the old man outside.
"Pingshui meets people all the way, why do you need to ask other villagers, you just call me an old man. The old man smiled, walked into the hole, sniffed his nose and said:
"It's so fragrant, if my guess is right, I should be cooking mosquito coil rabbits. ”
"The predecessor is right, it is the mosquito coil rabbit. Yan Nantian nodded. At the same time, he was also wary of the old man.
Yan Nantian used his spiritual sense to glance at the old man and found that he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, which made Yan Nantian feel shocked.
In other words. This person's cultivation must be higher than Yan Nantian, Yan Nantian did not let down the vigilance in his heart, but he did not dare to drive the old man outside. Said: "Senior, if you haven't eaten. Why don't you sit down and eat with us? ”
Liu Qiang was also vigilant, but he didn't say anything to stop him. Obviously, he also saw the old man's cultivation, but the vigilance on his face became heavier.
"Okay, good old man, I have this intention, drink a bowl of hot soup with mosquito coils and rabbits at night, there is no such beautiful thing. The old man was not polite, and sat down by the campfire, staring closely at the soup of the mosquito coiled rabbit with a pair of small eyes.
Unable to figure out the old man's intentions, Yan Nantian didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and said tentatively: "Senior, I don't know if you came to the Eternal Forest alone to be appropriate?"
"Go green. The old man smiled and said.
"This is the first time I've heard that the outing is still in the evening. Liu Qiang pursed his lips and said.
"Hmph, what do you know about a bald boy, everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, isn't it vulgar to go out in the daytime. The old man snorted and asked, "What about you two boys, what are you coming to the Eternal Forest for?"
Yan Nantian pondered for a moment, feeling that there was nothing to hide, and said, "Senior, I heard that some time ago, a spiritual fire appeared in the Eternal Forest, and the two of us are going to try our luck. ”
"I can't see that your kid is not very old, but his heart is not small, and his cultivation in the second-order realm is still unstable, so he thinks about becoming a second-order spirit chef. The old man said.
Hearing that the old man had seen his cultivation so thoroughly, and even knew that he had just broken through the second-order realm, Yan Nantian valued the old man even more, and he could no longer test the other party.
After a while, the iron pot was boiling, the meat was fragrant, Yan Nantian lifted the lid of the pot, the aura was scattered, the light was shining, and the whole pit was warm and melting, which invisibly made the pit a little more brilliant.
"Woo ......"
The old man sniffed vigorously, snatched the spoon in Yan Nantian's hand, tasted the soup with meat, and showed a touch of admiration on his face, and said: "Okay, good, the meat is fat, melts in the mouth, and retains the unique fragrance of mosquito coil rabbits, the soup is thick, light and refreshing, and makes people have an endless aftertaste, it is really delicious in the world, and it is difficult to find in the world." ”
"Senior Liao praised. Yan Nantian said modestly.
"As the saying goes, good meat goes well with good tea, and I happen to have a precious tea here, just to take it out for you to taste. The old man said.
"It's all good wine with good meat, and it's the first time I've heard that good meat goes with good tea. Liu Qiang shook his head and smiled.
"Hmph, bald boy, don't drink if you have an opinion, but don't regret it when the time comes. The old man snorted lightly, patted the storage bag on his waist, and had a green tea box in his hand.
The old man held the tea box in both hands, as if holding a rare treasure, carefully opened the lid of the box, and suddenly, the unique fragrance of a tea came to his nose, and the powerful spiritual power and green light were scattered from the tea box.
"How is it possible, it is actually the legendary 'Tianqing Tea', isn't it already lost? How can it be reproduced in the world. Zhang Jiuling suddenly said, his words full of shock.
