Chapter 28: Jade Leaf Ecstasy

——

The southern suburbs of the capital of Xiqi country, the crane immortal view. The sound of the piano is melodious, half-hidden in the valley.

A string of seven-star bronze wind chimes hangs from the ebony window, making a pleasant jingle in the breeze. The two girls with cloud buns wore aprons around their waists, their sleeves rolled up to their elbows, and their tender lotus-like arms stretched out into the wooden basin to rinse the vegetable leaves.

"Huanling, I'm here to wash the lilies, are you going to see the fragrant porridge boiled?" Zi Ning had a smile on her face, a happy and sweet look.

In the past few days, I was about to vomit after eating steamed buns, and I finally had the opportunity to show my skills and make a few side dishes to satisfy my hunger.

Yue Hengtang and Qi Song may cultivate immortals and valleys and be able to withstand hunger, but she and Huanling are mortals, and they have to eat three meals a day. What's more, eating and drinking in life is a big thing, and you can't be sloppy at all.

The Guan Zhu Pure Daoist respectfully brought a Xuanqing wooden plate, sent it to Zi Ning, and said with a smile: "Girl, this is what you want, everything is ready." "There are four porcelain bowls on the plate, which contain raw mutton, chicken thighs, and bacon.

The Crane Immortal Temple is a quiet place for cultivation, and there was originally no such meat meat, but Zi Ning wanted to cook the dishes himself, so the master of the Pure Dao ordered the disciples to go to the city market to buy meat, and prepared all the materials and sent them to the kitchen.

The Pure Dao people didn't know what Zi Ning came from, but the young man who was playing the piano in the valley was the Kunlun Absolute Emperor.

There is such a small Taoist temple as the Crane Immortal Temple, and the first god of the immortal clan came to stop, which flattered the pure Taoist people and suddenly felt full of brilliance. He saw that the Emperor took great care of Zi Ning, and knew that this girl was by no means an ordinary daughter, so he did not dare to slack off.

Zi Ning thanked the Pure Daoist and thought, "Fortunately, the vegetables and meat in Xiqi Country are all for mortals to eat, otherwise I don't know how to cook some demon beast meat." "When I looked up at the sun, it was almost lunchtime. The sound of the piano still lingered in the hollow, and she shook her head slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xuannu was reborn, although she couldn't remember the memory of 100,000 years ago, but she knew that she was looking for someone, and that was Yuehengtang.

But does he know about it?

After washing her hands with water, Zi Ning carried a piece of tender lamb leg meat to the board, reached out and flipped it twice, picked up a sharp meat knife on the side, and carefully cut off a layer of fat tendons and threw it away. Cut the lamb into thin slices of equal size, mix well with fine salt and pepper spices, pour a little autumn grape juice to marinate, and wait for the lamb to taste.

Xuannu was born from heaven and earth from the flood wilderness, it is the pure yin body of the Wuji spiritual root, reborn once in 100,000 years, and all those who cultivate immortals have Xuannu to make the furnace tripod, and can break through the rank of the god monarch within three years. And the inheritance of the Xuannu is supreme, once she successfully accepts the inheritance, she will become the eyes of the purple moon in the future, and she will be invincible in the world. Zi Ning thought secretly: "I don't want to be a furnace ding, I want to find the inheritance of the Xuannu." ”

Invincible in the world, it doesn't matter at all. She just wants to be with Yue Hengtang forever.

"He's a god, and he has a lifespan of more than hundreds of thousands of years. Zi Ning's heart trembled slightly, "If I can't find the inheritance, maybe I can only live to be a hundred years old." ”

Then he smiled and comforted himself: "It's okay, in another 100,000 years, I will be reborn again, and I will be able to see him again." Whether there is a inheritance or not, I will always have the opportunity to stay with him forever. ”

The fragrant porridge boiled in the purple casserole emitted a strong smell, Zi Ning saw that the time was just right, so he hurriedly cut the fresh vegetables on the board separately, fried them into a mixed chowder, and peeled some new garlic sprouts and added them to the dish, and suddenly a strange fragrance wafted throughout the kitchen.

Huan Ling took a deep sniff of the aroma and said with a smile: "Ning'er is a good craft, such a fragrant taste, I want to eat it again after eating a bowl." He immediately took a large white porcelain bowl and put the fried assorted stewed vegetables into it.

Zining set up the board, cut the hob bacon, chicken thigh, kale, winter bamboo shoots, carrots, red peppers, stir-fried a bacon assorted chicken, and used fresh lotus root, peas, loofahs, and green bamboo shoots together to make home-cooked vegetarian vegetables.

The mutton is fried with lilies, drizzled a little autumn grape juice, and turned twice out of the pot. Take a green and white porcelain plate, the mutton is served in the middle, with an oily sauce color, and white lilies, green and red peppers, green shallots, and turmeric are matched, like a plate of flowers, bright and bright, very attractive.

Wash a stack of fresh perilla leaves, soak them twice in lightly salted water, and place them whole on the edge of a blue and white porcelain plate. Zi Ning smiled at Huan Ling and said, "I've been hungry and thin in the past two days, so I need to eat more for lunch today." "The food is packed in a double-layered large food box, and the cold vinegared radish side dishes are put in casually.

In the corner of the spacious west chamber of the Crane Immortal Temple, the Quetai quiet room is arranged quietly and leisurely, and the sandalwood is curling.

The south-facing window pavilion is open to four doors, and strings of golden fairy bells hang under the ebony carved eaves.

Outside the window pavilion, pieces of flowers are flying, and the green grass and green trees are layered and scattered, and there is a faint fairy aura. In the distance is a deep and quiet valley, and the scenery is unobstructed when viewed from the Taoist temple.

The long ebony table was placed in front of the window, and Zi Ning knelt on the side of Yuehengtang, dressed in a blue water-colored cloud and splendid deep clothes, with a delicate body and a delicate face like a flower.

Four dishes and one porridge are placed on the couch table, and four pairs of bowls and chopsticks are neatly opposite. Zi Ning smiled, and looked sideways at Yue Hengtang.

In the past, when she nibbled on dry steamed buns, he sat quietly and looked cross-legged, and this time he set the table for the first time to eat, and the irrepressible excitement in his heart rose.

Yue Hengtang wore a light white fine silk loose robe, sat cross-legged on a wide couch, his chin was solemn, and his two beautiful long eyebrows were upward, as if hidden in the black hair and sideburns.

He used his divine sense to probe slightly, and Zi Ning, who was sitting on the side, already had a kind of immortal bone aura, although he had not started to cultivate, but the realm was different from that of mortals, and the dantian faintly overflowed with the qi of the true spirit, penetrating the eight veins of the strange meridians.

Yue Hengtang refined immortals at the age of five, and received the 10,000-year inheritance of the Kunlun sect at the age of ten, so the weak crown reached the rank of god monarch at the age of 10. Although the twelve sects of the Immortal Clan also have a heritage, they are far less profound than the Kunlun inheritance, and the elders of the four immortal clans have cultivated for more than ten thousand years, and they have not been able to break through the bottleneck of the Divine Monarch so far.

Xuannu is reborn, the world is competing, and the immortals do not have noble conduct, and they will definitely be moved.

The scholar Qi Song, dressed in a blue muslin cloth, sat near the carved window, his eyes turned from Zi Ning's face to Yue Hengtang, and when he saw the master's face, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Immortal cultivators usually move up the level step by step, taking pills, and spending countless spiritual flowers and fairy grasses, if they use Xuannu to cultivate, they can be done once and for all.

The unicorn beast is a fairy realm beast, and it knows how to repay kindness best, Zi Ning used to be kind to him, and Qi Song really can't bear to see her reduced to a cultivation furnace. I thought to myself: "The rebirth of the Xuannu will definitely lead to a great chaos, and everyone in the immortal realm will fight for it." There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Zi Ning is really pitiful." ”

They avoided Yun Zu's entanglement for days and days, and hid in this deep valley Taoist temple for a while, also to prevent the identity of the Xuannu from being exposed too early. Although she has a mellow true qi in her body, she doesn't know how to practice the exercises, and she still can't protect herself.

The quiet aroma slowly drifted away, and Yue Hengtang's eyes had a trace of light, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and his face was gloomy.

He raised his eyes and asked, "What kind of rice is this, the aroma is very sweet." "I saw the crystal clear fragrant porridge in the bowl, like a little yellow and red flower blooming one after another. Sniffed lightly on the tip of his nose, and suddenly felt that he was served by a hundred flowers, and it smelled good, so he couldn't help but scoop a spoonful and taste it gently.

"Potpourri porridge. Zi Ning said with a smile.

This porridge has been boiled for two hours, the entrance is tender, warm and sweet, and there is a mint aroma. Yue Hengtang couldn't help but eat a few more bites, and he was still unsatisfied.

When a person who cultivates immortals reaches the realm of the Divine Monarch, he can completely cut the valley without eating. But Yue Hengtang was with Zining, and when he saw that she liked to eat very much, he tasted all these meals as she liked.

Huan Ling glanced down at the stewed vegetables in the white porcelain bowl, the brightly colored dishes were mixed together, like a brilliant cloud on the top of the green treetops after dusk, and asked curiously: "Ning'er, what is this dish called?" I had worked with Zi Ning in the Fat Dove Country Dining Room before, and I had never seen this dish.

Zi Ning replied softly: "The name of the dish is said to be arbitrary, and it can also be called arbitrary. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi Song looked over, his eyes were full of ethereal spirit, and he asked puzzledly: "Why is it called random?"

Zi Ning's gaze turned to him, and he said, "Feel free and have no scruples, and if you are not complacent, you can be happy." Hence the name arbitrary. ”

Yue Hengtang put down the porridge bowl and thought thoughtfully.

Zi Ning's heart tightened, knowing that he was worried about the affairs of the Xuannu, his eyes revealed a ray of tenderness, and he said slowly: "The Xuannu has been reborn in 100,000 years, and has been reborn at least hundreds of times from the flood to today. If the person who grabbed the Xuannu would become a Divine Monarch, why are there so few Divine Monarchs in the Immortal Dao Realm?"

Qi Song frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why is that?"

Zi Ning's eyes turned to Yue Hengtang's body, and said: "Since the Xuannu is conceived by the aura of heaven and earth, it must not be a mortal body, and the cultivator is really wrong to use the Xuannu as a furnace ding." Even if they wanted to, they couldn't. ”

Fu Song nodded slightly, "That's right, they can't grab it, and we don't have to be too nervous." All cause and effect, just be arbitrary. He took a bite of the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, muttering, "So this is casual." ”

Yue Hengtang's eyes suddenly smiled, there was a lot of praise in his eyes, and he also took a bite to eat, and praised: "Good taste, good food." Feel free and relaxed. The corners of his mouth are raised and a soft smile is revealed.

The gloomy color in the quiet room was swept away, and in an instant there was a beautiful spring light, and laughter and laughter.

Zi Ning's eyes looked deeply at Yue Hengtang, and thought: "What hasn't happened yet, don't worry about it at all, just live happily in front of you." Seeing that his smile was like a flower, extremely bright, I couldn't help but feel a pounding in my heart, and the steady rhythm was disrupted.

After a while, he came back to his senses, quickly turned his gaze away, pointed to a plate of crispy four-fresh vegetarian dishes, and said, "Although this dish is an ordinary dish, it has unique features. You taste it, it's delicious. His cheeks were slightly red, and there was a shaky tremor in his voice.

Slowly calming her mood, Zi Ning swallowed in her throat, and thought secretly: "If you eat every meal with Yue Hengtang, you have to have a heart attack." ”

Yue Hengtang closed his eyes slightly, sniffed with a gesture, nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, there is some aroma." Stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of fresh lotus root, chewed it slowly, then nodded, and suddenly said, "I have a good name for this dish." ”

Zi Ning turned her eyes to look at him and asked curiously, "Tell me, what is a good name?"

Yue Hengtang smiled slightly, "The remnants of the red cherish the spring, the rain is light and the wind is colored, and the plum is yellow." The sky is not old, the heart is like a double silk net, and the love is still inexorable, woven into thousands of knots. ”

The phantom in the purple gauze in the dream is the Xuannu 100,000 years ago.

Xuannu and Zi Ning became one person, but the purple moon eyes between her eyebrows, the grievances of her previous life, and the unsolved mysteries were all like a snares woven of filament, tied into scattered knots, entwining the bottom of his heart.

Zi Ning listened quietly, her voice was soft and soft, as if she had returned to the day she first met, she was covered with whip wounds, Yue Hengtang helped her up, spoke softly, and exuded an elegant sandalwood fragrance all over her body.

I couldn't help but scatter in reverie, looked at the side through the hot air of the food, and said with a slightly red face: "I see, the lotus root and the loofah have filaments, and when they are entangled, they are like double wire nets, woven into thousands of knots......

Yue Hengtang bowed slightly, not daring to meet her gaze, and stretched out his chopsticks to clip a mouthful of double wire nets, crisp and fragrant, but there was a sense of purity.

There was an indifferent emotion in the air, Huan Ling stared at a pair of big eyes, didn't understand what the two of them said, was a little confused, and quietly asked: "Ning'er, Qianjie Silk Web, isn't that a spider spirit?"

Qi Song squeezed his eyes and smiled: "The spider spirit is left for you to eat, and I will eat this plate." "Staring at a plate of food in front of him, he took a bite of bacon and diced chicken with his chopsticks.

Zi Ning rolled her eyes, pointed to the dish plate and smiled: "This also has a name, and it's still a good allusion." ”

The bacon is fragrant, the diced chicken is smooth and tender, and the taste is even more delicious with kale and winter bamboo shoots. Yue Hengtang had a smile on his face, staring at her, waiting for her to say allusions.

Zi Ning's smile bloomed, "The name of this dish is said to be pleasant for two people." ”

The three of them were stunned, this dish is called "Two Loves", which is really a bit strange.

Zi Ning said eloquently, "Anyway, bacon and chicken thighs don't know each other, one of them grows on a pig and the other on a chicken, and they don't match at all." Unexpectedly, it was love at first sight and fell in love with each other. The bacon is willing to be cut into slices with a knife, and the chicken thighs are willing to be turned into diced meat, just to put them in the pot and fry them together with hot sesame oil. The aroma of the bacon melts into the chicken, and the tenderness of the chicken seeps into the bacon, and they are so in love with each other that they really love each other. ”

Qi Song and Huan Ling were dumbfounded, looked at each other, and thought: "It was love at first sight, both of them entered the pot, and fried them with hot sesame oil, it was terrible!"

Yue Hengtang's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but smile and deliberately asked: "Since you are consensual, what are these? Could it be that bacon and chicken are in love, and there are winter bamboo shoots and kale in the middle?"

He saw that Zi Ning said something interesting, and couldn't help but want to tease her.

Zi Ning's eyes stared for a moment, and he said urgently: "This ...... These winter bamboo shoots and kale are all side dishes, and they can't dominate the guests!" put a chopstick of winter bamboo shoots in his mouth, chewed a few times, and suddenly remembered that Fang Luoxi was going to marry into Kunlun, and an irrepressible sourness arose.

The gloomy color flashed away, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Zi Ning, Zi Ning, you are a Xuannu reborn, and you will definitely be able to match Yue Hengtang." Even if he marries the fairy queen fairy concubine, you don't have to give up, otherwise you will be reduced to winter bamboo shoots and kale, and you will be a side dish for the rest of your life. ”

With a move in his heart, his eyes drifted to the lily mutton placed on the side, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said, "There is another dish here, you can try it." ”

At first glance, it was mutton, Yue Hengtang felt greasy, he was a cultivator, he had a light diet, and it was difficult to swallow greasy meat. But he didn't want to brush off Zining's kindness, so he reluctantly smiled: "Such a bright color, it's delicious to look at." ”

Zi Ning cleaned her hands in the copper basin next to her, and said with a smile: "I'll teach you to eat like this." "Take a fresh perilla leaf from the edge of the plate, sandwich the mutton, lily and green peppers, and arrange it neatly on the leaves. Ten fingers were put together, wrapped into a small ball, handed to him, and said, "Open your mouth, just eat it all in one bite." ”

Yue Hengtang looked at the dumplings wrapped in small perilla leaves, and couldn't help but smile, "I've never seen anything like this, but I want to taste it." ”

He opened his mouth, and Zi Ning stuffed a ball into it, revealing a small ghost smile.

As soon as Yue Hengtang chewed, various stimulating flavors of spicy, fragrant, sweet and bitter, and numb poured into his nasal cavity, and two crimson balls suddenly appeared on his face, and tears flowed down.

Qi Song, who was sitting opposite, was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master, why are you crying?" Although he is called the master of Yuehengtang, the temperament of the Rui Beast is pure and natural, and he does not hide his artificiality, so he does not speak formally, and he is casual.

Yue Hengtang waved his hand, chewed and swallowed it for a while, exhaled and said: "It's very spicy...... "He has never eaten perilla mutton, although the spicy taste is choking, but it has a unique flavor."

"Perilla with white jade lily, stir-fried mutton, ginger, shallots, chili, a tearful hazy, there is a sense of **. Mutton is warm and replenished, lily clears heat, perilla dispels cold, ginger, chili pepper and green onion sweat, the line qi is wide, the spleen and stomach qi stagnation, and the chest is relieved of chest tightness and vomiting. Zi Ning said with a smile: "The name of this dish is called Yuye**." ”

Outside the window, there were clusters of green tree shadows, Huan Ling saw her smiling, her face was like a spring flower, and she was a pair made in heaven with the absolute emperor, and said with a smile: "How did Ning'er come up with such a clever dish name, Yuye ** is really good." The names of the dishes given by those imperial chefs are all about being rich and prosperous, and they will never want to eat a bite just by hearing the names of the dishes. ”

Zi Ning's face was ruddy, she thought for a while, looked at Yue Hengtang with a smile, and said: "I know the lingering dream, and I miss the broken soul of farewell." The jade leaf ** person is sad, but he only parted in his dream. ”

"Parting in a dream-" Yue Hengtang shook for a moment, his white face faded blood, and his fingers on the table trembled slightly.

He muttered to himself: "Lingering from dreams, don't break your soul......" His eyes flashed for a long time, and a faint mist appeared under his eyes.

Xuannu was reborn, Ziyue gazed, who died for 100,000 years ago, and who was reborn for 100,000 years later. There was a faint pain in the bottom of my heart, but it was like a fire, imprinted in the softest place. The imprint is already deep, and it is also away from the dream**!

Wasn't her rebirth to find him?

Zi Ning saw that he was silent, thinking that it was so spicy that he couldn't speak. Deng Shi secretly smiled, took out a plate of vinegar-soaked radish from the food box, and handed it to him, "This is okay, you can taste it." ”

Yue Hengtang raised his eyes and was stunned, "What is this?"

Those who cultivate immortals should abide by the rules of the immortal clan, and the appetite for food is really not shallow. He regretted eating this meal with Zi Ning a little, the dangers were stacked, and the rings were full of traps.

Looking down at the plate of radish, red heart and white skin, crispy and raw, it is a very common dish. Stretched out the chopsticks and tasted it, sweet and sour with a crispy, very appetizing.

Zi Ning's eyes rolled and glanced at the muffled Yue Hengtang, "This dish has two names, one praise and one depreciation, which is appropriate and appropriate for the occasion." After a pause, he said slowly: "The praise is called 'beauty in the heart', and the deprecating name is 'flower heart radish', which one do you want to choose?"

When Qi Song heard this, he understood and thought secretly: "No wonder Zi Ning said so much, it turned out that he was angry about the marriage between his master and Fang Luoxi." I couldn't help but want to laugh, so I hurriedly stuffed it into my mouth and took a mouthful of food, coughing twice, and almost squirting out.

Yue Hengtang knew that she was doing this on purpose, but she didn't reveal it, the two handsome eyebrows raised slightly, lifted the chopsticks and grabbed another piece of radish, turned it over and over in front of her for a long time, and muttered: "The derogatory name is better." It's just that I chose the heart of the flower, but this piece of white vinegared radish is going to be annoying. ”

Qi Song's eyes looked at Zi Ning, he couldn't hold back any longer, and finally burst out laughing. hurriedly raised his sleeves to cover it, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

Zi Ning's face suddenly turned red, "You ......" couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, and couldn't speak for a long time. She wanted to taunt with vinegar radish, but he calculated it instead.

Huan Ling frowned, didn't understand what he meant, felt very puzzled, twisted the handkerchief with both hands and said: "The absolute emperor only uses chopsticks to pick the radish, but he doesn't eat it, grinding around, vinegared radish is even more annoying." ”

Yue Hengtang was stunned for a moment, a slight red flashed on his white jade-like face, and he hurriedly put the radish in his mouth and chewed it twice in a panic to cover up the past.

Zi Ning's face was flushed, and a gust of wind caused the string bells on the eaves to shake, and there was a small sound. "Huanling, you...... Don't say any more......" she screamed, her voice crisp and bright, delicate, and sounding like a shy and coquettish.

Huan Ling was stunned, raised his eyes to look at the two opposite, and saw that they were both blushing, and he didn't know why. Deng Shi looked aggrieved, bowed his head and said to himself: "I said vinegar radish, not Ning'er ......"

Qi Song couldn't help laughing: "Master, if you don't eat up this vinegared radish, it will be a big regret in life." Raise your hand and put the vinegar-soaked radish in front of Yue Hengtang.

The world never imagined that the first god of the immortal clan was actually rectified by vinegar radish.

Q version:

Yue Hengtang: I'm so tired from having a meal.

Zining: In the future, I won't be tired if I eat two fewer dishes.

Yue Hengtang: You will cultivate immortals in the future, and you don't need to eat.

Zining: No, I'm a chef, and I like to eat the most.

Yue Hengtang: You eat by yourself, don't look for me.

Zining: Then who am I looking for, I'll find the second and third men for dinner, you don't want to.

Yuehengtang: ......
