Chapter 5: Faerie Recipes
From Wanfu Town to Yinzhou, the capital city, it takes three days to take the official road by car, and it is almost twice as slow to walk. Zhu Yu, who didn't have a copper plate on his body, could only choose to walk. Occasionally, I met a kind-hearted farmer, saw her as a pitiful little girl, and gave her a ride.
Zhu Yu took a breath and looked at the sky. There are still a few miles away from Yinzhou, and I will walk for another day tomorrow, and I guess I can arrive in the evening.
After walking for a day, my stomach was grunting with hunger, Zhu Yu touched the empty package, and the last piece of dry food was also eaten yesterday.
"Drink some water, the broken temple that the tea stall owner said should be around here. Today I will repair in the temple for one night, and then I will go tomorrow. ”
Zhu Yu opened the bamboo tube he brought with him and found that the water was gone. Sighing, it is better to find a place to live first, and then go up to the nearby mountains and forests to see what to eat.
It was really similar to what the tea stall owner said, and it didn't take long for Zhu Yu to find a ruined temple where he could rest.
The dilapidated temple is not far from the official road, because it has fallen into disrepair, it looks dilapidated and rotten, and there are dust and cobwebs everywhere. Zhu Yu simply packed up his accommodation for tonight, and then walked to the nearby mountains and forests.
The sunset on the horizon dyed the mountains and forests in front of you, and the orange glow cast a gorgeous golden veil on the mountains and forests.
Coo-coo.
There are pheasants!
I wish Yu's eyes lit up and followed the prestige. The sound came from the bushes not far ahead, and Zhu Yu listened, slowly moved forward, picked up the stone and threw it with lightning speed.
It's a pity that it missed, and the pheasant was frightened and fled everywhere.
Just as the pheasant spread his wings and wanted to escape, Zhu Yu took off the jade pot on his back and flew towards the pheasant.
With a thud, the pheasant fell to the ground, and only two chicken paws twitched and dying.
In a place where Zhu Yu can't see, because the master has not cultivated into a jade pot spirit that can't appear: ......
Looking at the stunned pheasant, Zhu Yu showed a big smile, holding the jade pot with great satisfaction.
The jade pot originally made of jasper looks gray at this time, not eye-catching at all, and the so-called fetish is self-obscure.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of being a fairy baby, no matter how you smash it, it won't be broken. Such a large pot is even lighter than a firewood knife, which is simply so easy to use. ”
The Jade Cauldron Spirit rolled his eyes: Have you asked the pheasant on the ground if you said such a thing. You're my master, or you try someone else. I can sink the other person into doubt.
"This pot is good. In the future, you don't have to look for anything else to smash walnuts or anything. ”
The pot that hears the owner's heart: ...... I don't want to talk, and with such an owner, I can only be petted, what else can I do.
After 10,000 years, the machine spirit woke up from its slumber, and for the first time, it felt the feeling of despair that its former owner had said.
What it doesn't know is that from this moment on, its pot life has since embarked on a road of no return. So much so that many years later, it was famous, and its fame was not because of its magical power as a spiritual cooking weapon, but because of its fierce reputation of people blocking and smashing people, and demons blocking and smashing demons.
Picking up the stunned pheasant, I wish Yu Chai to open the way and continue to walk up the mountain. There is so much grass around here, there must be snakes, so it's better to be careful.
Click.
Huh?
Zhu Yu walked over and took a look, heh, it turned out to be a chestnut. Picking up a thorn ball, I saw two chubby brown chestnuts exposed in the exploded thorn ball, which looked very fresh.
When the chestnut shell is peeled open, the pale yellow flesh gives off a sweet smell. Zhu Yu took a deep breath and swallowed his saliva. A chestnut belly, I wish Yu wide eyes, delicious!
The bite in his mouth was rattling, and Zhu Yu's hand was not idle, so he picked up the chestnut and put it in the jade pot. There were a lot of chestnuts on the ground, but in a few moments, I picked up a full pot.
I picked up some dry firewood, bundled it with vines and pheasants, and threw it on the jade pot, and Zhu Yu picked up the jade pot and walked back.
Fortunately, I have been doing farm work since I was a child, otherwise there are so many things, and I estimate that Zhu Yu's strength is enough.
When he arrived at the broken temple, Zhu Yu poured the chestnuts and dry firewood on the ground, wiped the sweat on his forehead, picked up the pheasant and cleaned it up by the stream, and beat a bamboo tube full of mountain spring water.
Zhu Yu decided to make a chestnut stew tonight, and he has eaten dry food for the past few days, and he hasn't been stained with oil and water for a long time.
Zhu Yu skillfully built a simple stove with stones, chopped the pheasant with a firewood knife, and blanched the water in a pot under cold water. Then pour fresh mountain spring water over the chicken, put in the freshly peeled chestnuts, and add some mushrooms picked in the mountains.
Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat, so that the chicken soup will taste good.
The firewood crackled, and with the orange firelight, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the mountains, Zhu Yu took out the "Fairy Recipe". The jade pot can't be collected as you like without aura, and the "Fairy Recipe" does not have this limitation, which is also what Zhu Yu accidentally discovered today.
Zhu Yu took the book and rubbed the cover like a baby, and his heart was full of joy. This is the first book that belongs to her since she was a child, and it is still a book for immortals, but Zhu Yu looked at the cover of the book with a puzzled expression.
She had also read the books of the Cultivation Realm from Mo Yuan, some of them were books, and some were of the jade slip type, but the "Fairy Recipe" was different from them.
The first is the cover.
The cover of other books is simply the title of the book, the author's name, and "The Fairy Cookbook" looks, well...... It's more fancy, how to describe it, just like the colored silk used by the matchmaker next door to marry her daughter. In addition to the title of the book and the author's name, there is actually a so-called editor's recommendation??
Zhu Yu: Hmm...... Recommend her to know, but what does editing mean?
Then there are words like "The top spiritual recipe in the Xiuzhen world, best-selling in the Xiuzhen world for ten thousand years", "The top master Long Aotian is recommended as a preface", "From the spirit chef Xiaobai to the best chef immortal, I have to say ten secrets" and so on.
Turning the title page of the book, several big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, the words are like flowing clouds and mist, and the golden light is flashing. Zhu Yu recognized it for a long time and saw that it was "the strongest king Peng Hao".
It turned out to be the author's name, and Zhu Yu, who was afraid of missing important information, breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhu Yu had been to Earth, he would probably know that the book in his hand was the author's signed edition.
Next is the preface of the top master Long Aotian said on the cover, Zhu Yu read it, and I can't understand many words, but I probably understand the meaning, it's all about how powerful the author is.
Later, two more people boasted about the author, and then the author wrote an article himself, called "Thirty-eight Thousand Dishes in Ten Years, On the Road of the Best Chef Fairy".
In the article, the author briefly describes his own experience and the original intention of writing this book.
"My real name is Peng Hao, and I am from Pengshan Dao, and I crossed over from a place called Earth. Before the crossing, I was making an appointment with my teammates to play in the jungle, but I didn't expect the computer to suddenly go black. When I woke up, I came to the Canglan Cultivation Realm. ”
If Zhu Yu remembers correctly, Senior Brother Mo Yuan seems to be talking about "Yuansha Cultivation True Realm". Could it be that she remembered wrong? Forget it, I don't want to, this book is very old, and many of them may be called differently.
Zhu Yu nodded clearly, the meaning of crossing is probably the same as if she wanted to go from the mortal world to the cultivation realm.
"On Earth, I'm a food streamer with 30 million followers. The people who wanted to ask me to advertise lined up from Gulou East Street to Ping'an Street......"
Zhu Yu continued to look down.
"This pot is carefully crafted by me, and it is made by fusing more than 3,600 kinds of precious ores, burning it with the magma fire in the center of the earth for 9981 days, and quenching it in a cold spring for 10,000 years. The name of the pot is 'Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren Pot'.
The pot can be transformed into countless different types of pots according to the owner's mind, as the so-called life two, two give birth to three, and three give birth to hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, so this pot is called 'hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren'. ”
Zhu Yu couldn't understand it, didn't there be only one pot for cooking? Like her uncle's family and the ancestors of Meixi Village, there was only one pot at home, why did the owner of "Fairy Recipe" want so many pots?
Since he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to, Zhu Yu will never drill the horns. Instead of trying to embarrass yourself, you can do something different, and sometimes you can find a solution.
August is like a child's face that changes when it says, and it is still a light rain at the beginning. After a few moments, it turned into a pouring rain.
The mountain spring water in the jade pot was bubbling and bubbling, and a layer of yellow oil beads floated on it. The fragrance is churning with the heat, and the entire ruined temple is full of fragrance, drilled into the nose one by one.
"No way!" Zhu Yu swallowed his saliva, "It's been stewed for so long, it should be good, try it first." ”
Chopsticks made of tree branches poked the chicken first, and the chicken was already stewed soft, and the skin of the chicken broke when it poked, revealing the tender white chicken.
Zhu Yu picked up another chestnut, put it to his mouth and blew it, "Hiss~hot!, soft and glutinous, and a mouthful of sweetness." ”
Outside, it was raining heavily, and the sky seemed to have broken a big hole, leaking non-stop.
Zhu Yu had hot and fragrant chicken soup in his hand, and chewed soft and fragrant chestnuts in his mouth, never satisfied.
She looked out through the window with a hole, and a small grass was crushed in the wind and rain, looking weak and inconspicuous. But Zhu Yu knew that when the wind and rain passed, this grass would grow thrivingly again.
Leaving the familiar Meixi Village and facing the unknown tomorrow, she was actually very scared in her heart, but the belief in finding her father and the desire to become an immortal gave her great courage. At this moment, she feels that she is Xiaocao, Xiaocao is her, even if she is weak and inconspicuous, she will never give up hope.
......
"Drive!"
A wagon sped through the darkness of the night.
The short and fat butler said respectfully: "Master, the guards found a ruined temple in front. ”
The curtain of the car was lifted in a corner, and a middle-aged man dressed in wealth looked at the ruined temple in the distance, "Steward Wang, order to go down." Rest in the temple tonight and return to Yinzhou tomorrow. I hope that this medicine can work, otherwise the old lady will ......" said this, the man sighed, "Let the people be sure to take care of the medicinal materials, and don't let the rain get wet." ”
"Yes, sir! Steward Wang ordered a few guards, "You, you, and you, follow me to the ruined temple in front of me." The rest of the people were optimistic about the medicinal herbs, guarded the carriage, and followed behind. ”
