Li Xi's eyes wandered, and he suddenly saw a slaughtered duck on his right, and said with a smile: "I'll make you a good Jinling salted duck." ”

Gu Changqing said with a smile: "Let's be lucky, this duck seems to have been slaughtered at night, and it is still very fresh." ”

Jinling salted duck is a very famous dish in Nanjing, and Gu Yuanqi, the servant of the ministry, wrote in his "Guest Words": "Those who buy and take fat, soak it with slightly warm old juice, the fire is extremely tender, and it is especially wonderful ......in autumn and winter."

It can be seen that the reputation of Jinling saltwater duck has spread from the folk to the court.

Half an hour later, Li Xi brought up the salted duck, and the fragrance floated for several miles, which looked like it was drooling.

"How about a taste of my craft?"

Gu Changqing picked up a piece of duck meat, in the moonlight, the duck skin was white and tender, as soon as the mouth entered, the aroma immediately overflowed the mouth, and the crispy feeling was like a lightning bolt hitting the body, making people feast.

Gu Changqing ate with relish, and said: "Fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, it's really a good craft." ”

Li Xi saw him praise, with a smug smile on his face, and said: "In addition to Jinling salted duck, I also use Langya halva, which is sweet but not greasy, glutinous but not sticky, crispy but not broken, and I will make it for you to eat when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Don't say it, besides, my saliva is going to flow all over the floor, you can taste it too. ”

Li Xi nodded, also ate a piece, and suddenly said with some disappointment: "This duck meat has been put for a long time, and the umami has gone a lot." ”

Gu Changqing said: "Anyway, I think it's delicious, and it's eaten in this situation, so I have a different artistic conception." ”

Li Xi looked around, the city of Nanjing was silent under the night sky, only a starlight light was lit up in the distance, in such a small space, it was rare for a person to be able to comfort his soul that he had nowhere to put it, but it was different.

After the two finished eating the Jinling saltwater duck, Gu Changqing sent Li Xi back to the underground palace.

Before leaving, Gu Changqing thought for a while and said: "It's not a way for you to live here all the time, eating and drinking is a big problem, and this is underground, damp and dark, not suitable for long-term living." ”

"There's no way around that. ”

Gu Changqing said: "I'm just going to buy a house recently, and when the time comes, you can go and live there." ”

Li Xi hung his head, clasped his hands, and did not speak.

The next day, when Gu Changqing was inspecting, Gao Xiaoqin came up.

"Sect leader, Elder Zhao doesn't seem to be moving on Zhao Sanyou's death. ”

Gu Changqing said with a smile: "I expected it, although you can rest assured, I think Elder Zhao has no second thoughts about Kunlun Ruins. ”

Gao Xiaoqin hesitated: "What about the return?"

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. ”

Gu Changqing took out a spirit rune from the Dao urn and said, "This is the five-grade spirit rune I drew last night, you can help me take it to the Charmer's Mansion and sell it." ”

"Five pins?"

Gu Changqing nodded and said, "That's right, it's the fifth grade." ”

Gao Xiaoqin said with a look of admiration: "The way of the talisman taught by the master is becoming more and more exquisite, and the eight-grade Dao line is actually able to make a five-grade spirit rune." ”

In the next few days, Gu Changqing made five-grade spirit talismans every once in a while, handed them over to Gao Xiaoqin for sale, and made four million dollars in more than ten days.

It's not that he doesn't want to make more five-grade spirit runes to sell for money, it's just that because the materials needed to make five-grade spirit runes are very expensive, and the mana consumption is huge, Gu Changqing needs to wait until the previous spirit rune is sold before he can collect the funds, purchase materials, and transform mana before making it.

Of course, what is more critical is that making the five-grade spirit rune is extremely consuming for the mind.

Gu Changqing made a five-grade spirit talisman, and at least he had to rest for five days.

At the end of the first month, Gu Changqing took Zhang San, Li Si and Tony to an inconspicuous Taoist temple on the outskirts of Nanjing and asked for a fake urn for the three of them.

Only by receiving a false urn can you cultivate mana.

Because Tony is a high-grade Dao heart, Gu Changqing did not dare to let him be faked in the Great Dao View in a high-profile manner, so as not to attract the attention of others.

As for receiving the true urn, it will have to wait until October, when the Dao Gong Division will be assessed.

Speaking of receiving false urns, Gu Changqing noticed this, only Taoist temples registered in the local Taoist temple are qualified, and not just a Taoist temple can accept it.

During this time, Killing also found a courtyard for Gu Changqing near Mafu Street.

Killing Sheng said that Gu Changqing was lucky, this family had expired in the Nanjing Criminal Department, and they were going to be transferred to other places, so they were eager to make a move.

Two courtyards, a total of five houses, the last room is independent in the backyard, the layout is very good, and cheap, only 2.5 million yuan.

Although the location of this annex is a bit remote, some distance from the street, it is good that it is here, quiet.

Gu Changqing felt that this figure was not good, and came and went for two or three days, and finally won the title deed for 2.49 million yuan.

After moving into the new house, Gu Changqing divided the room for the five Zhuge Ming people around him, which seemed much more spacious at once.

The next day, Gu Changqing took Zhuge Qingquan and Zhuge Ming to the underground palace, and picked up Li Xi to the new residence.

Li Xi was naturally unwilling, she was afraid that she would bring danger to Gu Changqing because of herself.

But it was because of this that Gu Changqing insisted on taking her with him.

The authentic head of Kunlun Ruins is her Li Xi, if she has any three strengths and two shortcomings, her fake head of the sect is estimated to be the end, which is something he does not want to see.

Moreover, it really put the Kunlun Ruins Sect in danger, and Gu Changqing felt sorry for his master Zhang Tonggu.

In the end, Li Xi was placed in the fifth room in the backyard by Gu Changqing.

Zhuge Qingquan and Zhuge Ming have always been curious about the newcomer Li Xi, and they feel that the reason why the Venerable wants to buy a house is probably for this woman.

Gu Changqing ignored the random conjectures of these five people, in addition to going to the streets on time every day, he went to the south prison to attend classes, and his life was quiet and comfortable.

During this period, he often wrote to his family and took money, lying that he had met a noble person in Nanjing, and now he has soared into the sky.

Late that night, Gu Changqing was sketching spiritual talismans in the room, and there was a knock on the door.

Gu Changqing sensed his breath and knew that it was Li Xi.

Li Xi held a plate of dim sum in his hand, pushed the door in, and said, "I didn't bother you, did I?"

Gu Changqing immediately shook his head: "No, no." ”

Li Xi put the dim sum on the table and said, "Thank you for taking it in during this time, I have nothing else to do, so I made the best Langya halva, you can taste it." ”

Langya halva is made of pure white sesame seeds and white sugar powder as raw materials, the body is spiral-shaped, and the aroma is tangy.

Gu Changqing picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, it was crispy and soft, the taste was delicate and free of impurities, and the fragrance was rich.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. ”

Li Xi smiled contentedly: "Some people once said that Langya halva is 'fragrant to attract outsiders, and the taste leads to immortals in the cave', even the immortals who don't ask about the world can't hold it when they smell the fragrance." ”

Gu Changqing said with a smile: "I'm not that educated, I eat like Zhu Bajie eating watermelon, as long as I think it's delicious." ”

"Zhu Bajie?"

Gu Changqing was speechless for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West", wrote it more than a hundred years later, but now no one knows who Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie are.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, there was no trace of Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty in this time and space, and the Moke Savan Realm, which is most like Buddhism, was also outside the Saiwai, I don't know how Wu Chengen will write this "Journey to the West" in the future?
