Lanke Chess Edge

Lian Baiping took a handful of dried vegetables from the Chen family in just a few words, and then returned to Ju'an Xiaoge in less than half a cup of tea. delivered to the kitchen door.

"Mr. Ji, the dried vegetables are brought, just a handful."

"Well, let's bring it in."

"yes!"

Lian Baiping shook his sleeves slightly, shook out all the dried vegetables from his sleeves, gently caught them and carried them into the kitchen.

The kitchen of Ju'an Xiaoge has only one door and a small window, but the inside is not dark, because the chopping board next to the stove is chopping some ingredients, and the fire of the clay stove is constantly beating.

"Sir, dry vegetables."

"Well, just put it on this wooden basin and spread it evenly."

Lian Baiping looked at a small wooden basin on the small wooden table, with a layer of gauze inside, which should be just right for stuffing a fish into it.

According to Ji Yuan's instructions, Lian Baiping evenly spread out a handful of dried vegetables in his hand, and then sprinkled some of the cut things on top of Ji Yuan, and then put the remaining pieces of fish into the basin, and put them in the basin again. Dried vegetables are embedded in the gaps between the fish.

"I think back when a fisherman made steamed fish with dried vegetables when he was on a boat on the Chunmu River. Decades later, Ji still remembers it."

"Then today I am lucky enough to have my husband cook this dish himself!"

Ji Yuan lifted the wooden basin, put it on the pot with a steamer, covered it, and looked at Lian Baiping.

"How much does Tianji Pavilion know about Ji, how much does it know about heaven and earth? How much does it know about future events?"

Lian Baiping suddenly felt a lot of pressure. These three questions were more serious than the other. The key point was that he could barely answer the first one, but the latter two were too broad. He also knew that what Mr. Ji asked was definitely not an ordinary thing. But still don't know where to start.

"Mister's question, when we go to Tianji Pavilion, we will get some answers, but I don't dare to say anything, I can only say that Tianji Pavilion will not neglect sir."

Lian Baiping spoke sincerely, but he didn't say enough, and Ji Yuan also knew that his question was rather hollow, but he didn't dare to ask too practically, it would be fatal, so he could only nod his head.

"Fellow Daoist, go out and wait, the accountant will notify you when the meal is ready."

"Uh, I can help light the fire."

Lian Baiping obviously wanted to stay in the kitchen for a while, but seeing Ji Yuan shaking his head, he could only smile and salute and leave.

Outside, Zao Niang was still reading, and when Lian Baiping came out, she put down the book and refilled a cup of tea for him.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about with Mr. Ji?"

Pei Zheng asked casually, he is quite familiar with Tianji Pavilion, so there is no need to have too many taboos, especially now that Tianji Pavilion attaches great importance to Yuhuai Mountain, which seems to be no less than some real famous families.

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that my husband also wants to go to my Tianji Pavilion to find out something. I asked a few questions in advance. Naturally, my Tianji Pavilion will make it easier for me."

As he said that, Lian Baiping looked up at the jujube tree in the courtyard again. In the canopy of the tree, there was a faint streamer floating. Behind the streamer were some big green dates hidden in the branches and leaves, but there were still some more blurred places in the bushes. , There was a faint red light from time to time.

'Heaven and earth spirit root! '

Lian Baiping glanced at Zao Niang from the corner of his eyes. This quiet woman who was reading a book should be the elf of the spiritual root, but I don't know if the fruit of the spiritual root is mature now.

But soon, tea drinkers and book readers could no longer maintain their composure, and the aroma from the kitchen was getting stronger and stronger. As the last pot of fish was ready, Ji Yuan put the other two dishes together. The aroma sealed by the vegetables was also released, wafting into the courtyard of Ju'an Xiaoge and filling it.

"Okay, it's time to eat."

Because the fish is big, the containers for holding the fish are also big. One is a wooden basin, and the other two are big soup basins. They were sent to the stone table in the yard by a gust of breeze, and Ji Yuan also came out of the kitchen with his hands. Holding a large wooden rice bucket on the table.

The tea set on the stone table had already been cleaned up by Zao Niang when the smell came out from the kitchen, and the three pots of vegetables were placed on the table, even an immortal cultivator couldn't help but salivate.

A stool was added, and the five people sat around in the courtyard. After a few words of politeness, they all moved their chopsticks. It is rare to see people cultivating immortals, especially those who are immortals, gathering together to eat, and today's few people just Eat very happily.

To be honest, although I imagined that Mr. Ji's culinary skills would be very good, the degree of goodness is still beyond Lian Baiping's imagination. Eating this dish is not entirely about the taste, but more of a taste that transcends pure taste. It feels mysterious and mysterious, it's hard to explain clearly, but it makes people feel happy physically and mentally, and he can't stop for a while, he just ate three bowls and didn't bother to say a few words to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan is in the same situation. He originally wanted to chat with people at the dinner table, but he didn't know that these masters of immortality tasted so cruel and good-looking. That kind of elegance and stability does not affect the frequency of chopsticks in the slightest, so Ji Yuan has to take it seriously.

"Gulu..."

A heavy and special voice appeared, and I don't know where it came from. It seemed to hit everyone's hearts, making everyone stop their chopsticks, but Ji Yuan still went his own way, eating with fish .

"Uh, Mr. Ji, did you hear a strange noise just now?"

Qiu Feng asked cautiously, this is in Ju'an Xiaoge, and all movements will never escape Mr. Ji's ears, so it is impossible for Mr. Ji not to hear.

Sure enough, Ji Yuan nodded.

"I heard it, just go ahead and eat, don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Zao Niang immediately continued to eat the fish, she had 100% trust in Ji Yuan, and eating the fish made her feel warm, obviously it was of great benefit.

Seeing Ji Yuan's attitude, several other people didn't dare to ask more questions, and continued to eat.

The three big pots of fish prepared in different ways, together with the big bucket of rice, were all eaten up, not even a single grain of rice was left.

After a few words of politeness, Ji Yuan sent Qiu Feng, Pei Zheng and Lian Baiping away and asked them to wait in Yuhuai Mountain. Lian Baiping had the audacity to propose to live in Ju'an Xiaoge, but Ji Yuan He said in advance that Ju'an Xiaoge was temporarily inconvenient to keep people, and blocked the long-bearded old man in advance.

After all the guests had left and Zao Niang was still tidying up in the yard, there was a voice in Ji Yuan's sleeve that could no longer hold back.

"Ji Yuan, why did you seal the scroll just now?"

Zao Niang glanced at Ji Yuan when she heard the voice, but then continued to move, and Ji Yuan smiled, and pulled out the Xie Zhi scroll.

"The sound of your swallowing saliva was as loud as thunder, which scared Ji's guests."

There was silence on the scroll for a while, and Xiezhi's voice came out again.

"I didn't expect that you, Ji Yuan... would know this amazing skill... This dish is...really good... Well, Ji Yuan, we have known each other long enough, right?"

Ji Yuan snapped his fingers and calculated.

"It's not that many years. It's probably just you taking a nap."

"That's wrong... Don't you, Mr. Ji, like playing games in the world of mortals the most, seeing the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of ordinary people, seeing their life, old age, sickness and death, and understanding the true nature of the world? The time you and I have known each other, in this world of mortals, is definitely not short !"

Ji Yuan grinned, didn't say much, and said directly.

"There is still a whole rice crust left. Sprinkle some with a little salt, and some with a little honey. Let's share it. Do you want to eat it?"

"eat!"

It's okay, it really is this bit of appetite, Ji Yuan feels more and more that the picture on the scroll is not Xiezhi, but more like gluttony.

Ji Yuan walked to the kitchen, the charcoal in the stove was still warm, after thinking for a while, Ji Yuan took out a few sweet potatoes of suitable size from his sleeve, threw them directly into the stove, covered the charcoal fire and plant ash with tongs, and then came to In front of the pot, feel the temperature in the pot, take a pinch of salt and spread it out, then reach out and hook it to evoke a small ball of honey in the pot next to it, forming a small film umbrella to cover the pot.

"Zi la la la..."

Under the influence of the firepower of the stove and the temperature of the iron pot, there was a seductive sizzling sound for a moment, and then Ji Yuan directly pried the spatula, and he pried up a whole pot-shaped pot.

"Crack..."

The rice crust was divided into two, and the Xiezhi painting scroll was already floating beside the small kitchen table, a pair of painted eyes fixed on Ji Yuan's hand.

"The one on the left is obviously bigger, Ji Yuan, you have to be fair!"

"Who asked Ji to have eaten? I'll give you the one on the left."

Ji Yuan didn't make fun of Xiezhi, and directly threw the left half of the rice cake towards the Xiezhi scroll, and a black-colored Xiezhi's paw stretched out to catch it, and then grabbed the rice cake back into the conversation.

"Crack...click...creak..."

Soon, the crunchy sound of eating rice crust and chewing rice crust resounded in the kitchen.

"Sometimes, Ji really doubts whether you are Xiezhi or Taotie?"

"Of course it's Xiezhi! If you don't believe me, you can make those officials from Dazhen Yushitai swear to me."

Ji Yuan's eyes lit up, but he remembered something. In his previous life, he really seemed to have seen the legend that officials in charge of the law worshiped Xiezhi.

"Fate..."

"what happened again?"

"I'm done eating..."

"Crack, creak, creak..."

"Okay, I'm done eating too."
