After Zao Niang agreed, Qiu Feng, Pei Zheng and Lian Baiping of course had no opinions, not to mention that Qiu Feng had eaten the fish made by Ji Yuan, and knew Mr. Ji's craftsmanship, Pei Zheng, as Qiu Feng's master, of course, had also heard about it from his apprentice, and Lian Baiping came prepared at all, but he didn't expect that Mr. Ji would accept the gift and not say it, but he could also taste the fish made by Mr. Ji himself.

"The three of you are here later, and Ji is ready to deal with this fish. ”

Ji Yuan saw that everyone had no opinions, and after saying this, he made a move to beckon a few crystal clear silverfish suspended in the air to the kitchen.

"Sir, please!" "Sir can ask someone to help, and Lian can also help with the cooking, the kind that doesn't use magic powers." ”

Lian Baiping was still a little flattered when he spoke, Ji Yuan just shook his head, said "no", and then admonished, and let Zao Niang greet the guests and go into the kitchen alone.

Even if Ji Yuan has entered the kitchen, Lian Baiping still strokes his beard and smiles repeatedly, and everyone can see that he is in a good mood, but he doesn't care that Yuan is out of shape when he leaves, and he is still not rude to Zao Niang.

"Zao Daoyou, this honey tea is fragrant and pleasant, it is really good tea, and Zao Dao is friendly to tea art!"

Lian Baiping also saluted Zao Niang, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a shallow sip, Qiu Feng and Pei Zheng knew that it was not easy to be a woman in Mr. Ji's courtyard, but they were not as cheeky as Lian Baiping, so they just nodded to Zao Niang and praised "good tea" before sitting down.

"You don't need to call me a jujube friend, just call me Zao Niang like Mr., if you like this tea, you can drink more, usually Mr. will only give people a cup, and it's enough today." ”

The three of them saluted and thanked Zao Niang again, and the latter smiled and sat on the empty stone bench, took out a book and read it, even if there were three immortal monks with good cultivation on the side, there was no tension and restraint at all, and it was really in peace.

Lian Baiping took a sip of tea, and the afterglow of his eyes shifted from Zao Niang to the big jujube tree on the side, what the true identity of this green-clothed woman was already self-evident.

On the kitchen side, there is already cooking smoke rising on the chimney, and Ji Yuan will add firewood to the earthen stove that has not been used for a long time, and the tea of Zao Niang just now is obviously not burned by firewood.

Sometimes cooking is a special pleasure, especially if the ingredients are really good.

Standing in front of the kitchen cutting board, Ji Yuan waved his hand, and a whitebait fell on the cutting board, still bumping, because the water was peeling off from its side, it felt uncomfortable, and instinctively wanted to jump to the nearby place where the water vapor was relatively thick, which was the pot where the water on the side was gradually boiling.

Ji Yuan smiled, picked up the kitchen knife, and slapped the back of the knife on the head of the fish, and immediately stunned the fish that could not have fainted, and then raised the knife and cut into the head of the fish.

"Crunch~"

The sound was like cutting a handful of solid greens, and the section of the head and body of the fish actually formed a layer of hoarfrost, and there was only one backbone at the fracture, but no internal organs could be seen.

"Good fish! has already given birth to bones, if you are given another hundred years, Ji Mou will not go under the knife. ”

Generally speaking, this kind of fish should be the essence of the water convergence and rebirth, generally only in the shape of a fish rather than a real fish, such as the internal organs and other things will not exist, but after a long time, if it is really condensed, it can be regarded as a real creature.

And the fish in Ji Yuan's hand is even more simple, it is not a simple water spirit, but a meeting of water and wood, even with Ji Yuan's current knowledge, he knows that this is very rare.

There are a total of five fish, some big and some small, and Ji Yuan didn't plan to finish them all, leaving two that are not big or small, and the remaining three are cooked one by one.

If you want to deal with such a precious ingredient, it also requires a certain amount of experience and means, especially the Tao, in the hands of Ji Yuan, you can make this fish be dismantled like a normal fish, be cooked, and make various flavors, but for another person, it is likely that the fish will melt directly into the world when it dies, perhaps the easiest way is to cook soup, and you can directly get a pot that looks clean, but in fact, the essence retains most of the "water".

But it's interesting and interesting here, because it's not really a living being, so this fish has been dismantled, but it can still move, and its vitality is undiminished.

After Ji Yuan finished cooking the three fish, the pot over there was already hot, sprinkled the oil into the pot, and then waved his hand to put in a whole fish.

"Zilala......"

With the sound of oil, the fragrance also floated up, and the fish that was still alive just now finally stopped moving, Ji Yuan took a shovel and stir-fried, and put the seasonings on the side in turn by feeling, and there was the fragrant fresh jujube nectar in the ordinary sauce.

Three fish, three different methods, but there is still a lack of condiments, so when the four people in the courtyard were drinking tea and reading books, Ji Yuan's voice came from the kitchen.

"Mr. Qiu, you can go buy some new dried vegetables, the family has been in the house for several years. ”

Zao Niang is on the side of her own spiritual root to practice, in the case of no obvious bottleneck for the time being, the cultivation is naturally a thousand miles a day, when she comes back, Ji Yuan knows that today's Zao Niang is no longer only able to be active in the courtyard, but he has obviously not been out of the yard once in these years, either can't, or doesn't want to.

So Ji Yuan thinks it's better to ask Qiu Feng to buy it, anyway, he is very familiar with Qiu Feng.

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Qiu Feng smiled and was about to answer, when Lian Baiping, the long-bearded Weng on the side, stood up first.

"Mr. Ji, why bother Qiu Feng Daoyou, the dried vegetables on sale in the entire Ning'an County today are the best among the young people in Dongjiekou, but the best dried vegetables in the entire Ning'an County are in a family surnamed Chen in Miaosifangkou, and now the altar has just been opened to dry, and it is the most delicious time. ”

Lian Baiping said that he had already drunk all the tea in his teacup, and then left his position and walked towards the courtyard gate, as long as Ji Yuan didn't stop him, he was really going to dry the dishes.

As a result, it turned out that the long beard Weng was right, Ji Yuan was just stunned in the kitchen for a moment, but he didn't say anything about not letting him go, Lian Baiping also opened the courtyard door, and didn't forget to say to the door.

"Lian will go back as soon as he goes, rest assured, he will not let that family suffer!"

Lian Baiping walked out of the courtyard gate of Ju'an Pavilion, his steps were as brisk as a teenager, there is a saying that it is better to be famous than to meet, which is the true portrayal of Ji Yuan in his heart now.

Ji Yuan, this person, in fact, even if the cave closed by Tianji Pavilion is theoretically not in contact with the outside world at all, but he still knows some things about him, and it is definitely not too much to describe it in a sentence that is unfathomable, and even his person's cultivation is so high that Tianji Pavilion can't calculate it if he wants to.

Even if no one in Tianji Pavilion has ever touched Ji Yuan, but the more they understand Ji Yuan, the deeper the awe of Ji Yuan from Tianji Pavilion becomes, and even strongly recommends contacting Ji Yuan from the very beginning, and there are some gains and losses in the back, both wanting to contact but not daring to contact, until Yu Huaishan sent a message, and suddenly the monks of a certain generation in Tianji Pavilion were excited.

Lian Baiping can have this qualification to come directly to Yunzhou Nanzhui, it is not only full of courage, but also after several rounds of competition, there is this opportunity to get along with Ji Yuan for a period of time, how can he not brush up on his sense of existence?

Try not to use any magic spells in Ning'an County, practice Baiping walked forward quickly, walked out of Tianniufang, walked through the streets and alleys and went straight to the temple square, that footsteps, young people may not be able to keep up with running, but they still look unhurried.

The cries along the streets of the county are endless, Lian Baiping came to Ning'an County for the first time, but he seems to know the whole Ning'an County well, he doesn't even need to ask people how to look at the road, and turning left and right is the nearest or most suitable road.

Soon, the old man with a long beard arrived at the entrance of the temple square, entered an alley on the left, and accurately stopped his footsteps in front of the door of the second family at the entrance of the alley.

The afternoon sun had just been blocked by some houses on the west side, covering the dried vegetables in the Chen family's yard.

"Okay, okay, it's almost sunburned, I can make it tonight and try it. ”

"Hey, hey, this big vat of mustard greens, in the end, there is only such a small packet, and I have to send a little bit to my sister and them. ”

In the courtyard, an old woman and a young man were collecting vegetables, these dried vegetables were dried on two broken bamboo mats, and they were gathering little by little, and a faint dry fragrance was faintly wafting out of the courtyard.

Lian Baiping's eyes flashed, and he could already see that the dried vegetables of these two mats had a special charm in them, which was a magical feeling, even if it was a very ordinary thing, it also had its specialities, some very simple things, even if the method was similar, that is, someone could turn decay into magic, which not only had human factors, but also secretly matched the number of days.

"Ahem, this old woman and young man, can you take care of the dried vegetables in your yard? ”

The two of them in the courtyard looked up to the gate of the courtyard, and saw an old man in gray with a long beard and a ruddy face standing there, looking at them with a smile, or at the dried vegetables on the mat.

The old man looked not very ordinary, and the old woman and the young man in the courtyard looked at each other, and the latter spoke.

"How much does the old gentleman want?"

"Not much, not much, just the amount of one dish. ”

The young man immediately smiled, took a hand from the dried vegetables piled up on the mat, stood up and walked to the courtyard gate.

"Does the old gentleman have something to pack?"

"Just put it in my sleeve, I will hold on to the cuff, and I won't spill it. ”

Lian Baiping pulled the cuff of his right hand apart, and the young man didn't say anything, and directly sent a handful of dried vegetables in his hand to his sleeve.

"Thank you, thank you, what is the value of this dried dish......"

"The old gentleman doesn't need to talk about any money, just a handful of dried vegetables, even if you go to the market to buy it, it's not worth a few dollars, so you should give it to Mr. ”

The people of Ning'an County have always respected knowledgeable people, and the old man in front of him is not an ordinary old man, like an old pedant.

"Oh, how did this make ah......"

Lian Baiping said this, but he smiled but did not take the money, but leaned closer and whispered to the young man.

"The old man knows that your brother is in the Dazhen army, and now he has entered Zuyue with the army, you must remember what the old man said next, and you must not forget it!"

The young man was slightly stunned, how did this old man know that his brother was in the army, and what happened to the army that attacked Zuyue?

"Two days later, your brother will have a letter, and then you must immediately find a literate gentleman to write a letter to your family, and warn your brother that within a year and a half, Zuyue East China Sea, there is a family surnamed Zhang who has a loser, and will sell a treasure in the family, and your brother will attack with the army, and it may be possible to attack the East China Sea......"

"If you meet that Zhang family loser, you should persuade him three times, don't sell the baby, if this person repeatedly refuses to listen to the persuasion, let your brother do everything he can, borrow money, pawn items, you must take the baby, take it home!"

The young man was stunned by the old man in front of him, could this be a fortune teller?

"What kind of baby?"

Lian Baiping was silent, and only spoke after two breaths.

"That's the word 'Fu' written by a master, if you can get it, if you can't meet it or miss it, you can't force it, remember to remember!"

"Okay, the old man's words are finished, thank you for this handful of dried vegetables, and say goodbye!"

After speaking, Lian Baiping saluted the young man and strode away directly along the way he came.

In the courtyard over there, the old woman also felt strange when she saw her son and the old man muttering at the gate of the courtyard for a long time.

"What do you say, son?"

"Oh...... I was just a fortune teller, and I talked a lot of nonsense......"

"Then why are you still stunned, come and collect the vegetables, see that it is going to rain this day. ”

"Hey!"

The young man scratched his head and went back to gather the vegetables with his mother.
