Chapter 6 Braised Lion's Head and Chestnut Crisp
Sheng Qingshu was walking in the empty palace, but she heard someone behind her calling her name.
turned around but didn't see anyone, the raging fire spread in front of him, and a person walked out of the firelight, it was Pei Yi!
Pei Yi was covered in blood, holding a sword in his left hand, and holding his father's head in his right hand.
Sheng Qingshu saw him walking towards him step by step, and he struggled desperately but couldn't move.
"Don't!" Sheng Qingshu sat up abruptly and woke up from the dream.
The sun shone on her body through the transparent roof, but Sheng Qingshu couldn't feel the slightest temperature.
His back was covered with dense cold sweat, and his clothes were already soaked.
The fair skin is slightly transparent and bloodless in the sunlight.
"Girl, are you awake?" A voice came from outside the door, and Sheng Qingshu recognized it as the person who was talking at the door yesterday.
She didn't answer, just changed her clothes and walked out.
When I walked out of the courtyard, I found two guards standing at the door.
Before Sheng Qingshu stepped forward, one of them saw her and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Girl, you're awake."
"The little one is called one one, this is two two." One by one, they pointed to the people around him.
"Recently, we have been guarding the girl outside the house, and we are happier than anyone else when the girl wakes up, after all, it is our demon lord... Eh. ”
Without waiting for Yiyi to finish speaking, Erer hit him hard and took the conversation.
"After all, the Demon Lord is very worried about the girl, and now that the girl is awake, we are relieved."
Sheng Qingshu was still immersed in the shock brought by these two names, and thought for a long time before speaking.
"One by one? Two-two? Is this the name given to you, Jingyu? ”
"No, the Demon Lord is too lazy to come up with a name, and all the guards who are close to him are sorted like this."
This is really like his character, Sheng Qingshu complained silently in her heart.
"The Demon Lord said that if the girl wakes up, he will take you to dinner, and the Demon Lord is waiting for you."
The two guards led Sheng Qingshu outside, but they passed by a sea of flowers on the way.
As far as the eye can see, it is full of colorful colors and the strong fragrance of flowers comes to your nose.
The most spectacular is the sea of peony flowers, which sway slightly in the wind, and there is a huge swing among the flowers.
Sheng Qingshu didn't have time to take a closer look, so he continued to walk forward until he came to a courtyard.
It was a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, the ground was paved with blue and jade-colored stone bricks, and the statues of various exotic beasts were placed on both sides of the courtyard.
Walking across the small bridge at the entrance, the courtyard is divided into two by the garden, with ancient cypress towering on one side and dense bamboo forest on the other, dotted with all kinds of strange stones and flowers.
On both sides is the verandah, the whole pear blossom wood is the column, and the porch is hung with various parrots.
Walking through the verandah was a large hall with a large round table in the hall, and Jing Yu was standing in front of it and pointing fingers.
"Put this in front of her, and let her make up for it if it is nutritious."
"That's farther away, it's too common, it's boring."
Sheng Qingshu stepped forward curiously to find out, but this glance made her sweat coldly.
What is it? A table of insects?
Jing Yu saw her coming, and pushed her to the table and sat down like a treasure.
"Look at what I've prepared, these are the freshest ingredients in the Demon Realm."
"Braised frogs in sauce, stir-fried scorpions, fried flying ao, stewed rattlesnakes, these are the four famous dishes of the demon world."
Sheng Qingshu looked at the table, as if she could feel her goosebumps standing up.
Perhaps the expression on Sheng Qingshu's face was too hideous, which finally attracted Jing Yu's attention.
"Yingying, what kind of expression do you have, don't you like these?"
Jing Yu's eyes were bright, and his eyes were full of expectation, but Sheng Qingshu couldn't say the word liking.
Look at this eager eyes, and then look at the "deliciousness" of this table.
"You say.... What should I be? ”
Sheng Qingshu thought about it, but still chose to speak: "It's not that I don't like it, but I've never seen these things, and I can even say I'm afraid." ”
Jing Yu stalked the neck of the terrier, and was a little unconvinced, and he gave himself a chopstick scorpion.
"It's delicious, crispy and delicious, and has a strange aroma."
Sheng Qingshu frowned and watched him eat it, and couldn't help but ask: "For you, is the food in the world difficult to eat?" ”
"There are ordinary ingredients, but no one eats those things in the Demon Realm."
"Whatever you want to eat, I'll let them get it for you." Jing Yu swallowed the food in his mouth and took a sip of water.
"I haven't eaten it in hundreds of years, so I'll taste it by your light today."
"Hmm... Stir-fried choy sum, braised lion's head, and it would be even better if there was a chestnut crisp. ”
Speaking of these, Sheng Qingshu's face was happy.
Jing Yu waved his hand, and someone outside the door immediately went out to make arrangements.
After a while, someone walked in briskly with a food box, respectfully placed it on the table, and immediately went out.
Sheng Qingshu thought in her heart, Jing Yu looks good at talking, but His Majesty is extremely strict, never looking at it indiscriminately when entering and exiting, and it is also light-hearted.
When the food box was opened, the familiar taste aroused Sheng Qingshu's appetite.
"This is Yunhelou's food, and his chestnut cake is a must."
Sheng Qingshu clapped her hands excitedly, the dishes in Yunhelou were her favorite, and she hadn't eaten them for many years.
"If you like it, you can eat more." Jing Yu looked at Sheng Qingshu with a smile.
Unable to care about much, Sheng Qingshu began to feast.
This braised lion's head stew is soft and delicious, melts in your mouth, and disperses as soon as you sip it.
Crushed water chestnuts are also added to the middle of the meat foam, which is more crisp and refreshing to eat, and not greasy at all.
The chestnut cake has a crispy crust on the outside and a soft filling on the inside, with a slight salty aroma in the sweetness.
Sheng Qingshu narrowed her eyes happily, and Jing Yu tasted a small bite suspiciously when she saw him like this.
"Is it as delicious as you say?" Just one bite made his eyes widen.
"It's... It seems to be delicious, why didn't I find it before. ”
The two swept away the dishes on the table like a storm, and Jing Yu happily touched his stomach and drank tea.
"But how do you know it's delicious? I remember, you're a princess, can you hang out? ”
Jing Yu didn't talk about this topic coldly, but it made Sheng Qingshu's face white.
This shop is very famous in Dasheng, and when they were still students, Pei Yi would always secretly let his little maid buy it, and then send it to the palace to surprise himself.
Sheng Qingshu didn't speak, and looked at the food box of Yunhe Tower in a daze.
Jing Yu may have guessed something, and sat silently on the side, the air seemed to freeze, and there was an awkward atmosphere.
Until the sky was about to go dark, Jing Yu glanced at the sky and took Sheng Qingshu out of the door.
Coming to the passing sea of flowers, Jing Yu took Sheng Qingshu and walked in, until the depths of the sea of flowers, Sheng Qingshu found that there was a small house here.
"This is actually a cemetery, everyone who dies in the Demon Realm will be buried here as a flower, because of your physique, cultivating in the Land of the Most Yin will be very beneficial to you."
He pointed to the small house again: "You live here during this time, I will come over every evening to teach you, and you will rest here the rest of the time, rest assured, no one will disturb you." ”
The fear and anxiety of the unknown in Sheng Qingshu's eyes did not escape Jing Yu's eyes, he raised his head and said to Sheng Qingshu, "Don't worry, with me, I will definitely make your wish come true." ”
