Du Heng felt that he was dying of thirst. In the flames, he was like a bamboo trapped in the bamboo shoots.He was so uncomfortable that he just wanted to cry, even if he was immersed in the warm spring water, he still felt anxious.He hugged Xuanyu tightly, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he could only call Xuanyu's name helplessly.
His mind was in chaos, and Jing Nan's voice appeared after a while: "What identity are you standing by Xuanyu's side? Xuanyu has no shortage of friends and relatives."
After a while, Xuanyu's face appeared, and Xuanyu's face was vague, sometimes close as if he was beside him, and sometimes far away as if in the sky.
Xuanyu's voice was as gentle as ever, and he asked himself: "Du Heng, do you like me? I'm not talking about like like Xiaoxiao, but like between Taoist couples. I like you, do you like me? "
Du Heng said in a daze, "I like it. I like Xuanyu."
After saying this, the bamboo shoots in Du Heng's heart finally popped out of the ground.
Du Heng suddenly realized that he likes Xuan Yu!When he saw Xuan Yu and Wen Qiong standing together before, his heart was sour, so it was because of this reason!
Not just liking like a friend, but wanting to be with him, wanting to be close to him.What he was looking forward to was to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Xuan Yu, to have a skin-to-skin kiss with him!
Xuan Yu had been lurking by Du Heng's side from the very beginning and gradually captured Du Heng's heart, but Du Heng was always ignorant.He used to think that he liked girls with round faces and big eyes like Wen Qiong, but he didn't know when he had Xuanyu in his heart.
He can't bring up any love between men and women for Wen Qiong, but Xuan Yu has taken root in his heart.He turned into a bamboo shoot in Du Heng's heart. He gave the bamboo shoot too much love and warmth. When the conditions were right, the bamboo shoot broke out of its shell and occupied his heart at an unimaginable speed of Du Heng.
Du Heng was like a small boat, Xuanyu was the water that carried him, he was thrown high by Xuanyu and fell heavily.
The intimacy in the dream really happened, and Du Heng cried and endured it.He felt that he was broken up by Xuan Yu, and put it back together again.
Xuanyu's voice echoed in his ears, gentle and lingering; Xuanyu's body hugged him, hot and lingering; Xuanyu's spiritual energy poured into Du Heng's sea of consciousness dantian, vast and gentle.
Du Heng didn't know when he passed out, he only knew that when he woke up, he was lying in Xuanyu's arms in an awkward position.He was a little dazed, feeling like he was dreaming.Seeing Du Heng woke up, Xuan Yu gently kissed his forehead: "Does it hurt?"
Pain, the pain as if the whole body fell apart, Du Heng felt that the body was no longer his own.But this kind of pain is very unusual compared to the pain of being beaten by Peizhu. How to describe this feeling?
He blinked: "Well..."
Xuan Yu stood up and took out a small jade bottle from the bedside table: "Shall I give you some more medicine?"
Du Heng pulled the quilt silently to cover his head, Xuan Yu hurriedly pulled the quilt away: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Du Heng didn't know how to face Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu...you and I..."
Xuan Yu laughed out loud: "It's really not easy for you to say that you like me. Do you know how long I have liked you?"
Du Heng's head emerged from the quilt like a mushroom: "How long?"
Xuanyu lifted the bottle cap, and a fresh fragrance overflowed from the bottle: "I fell in love with you from the first sight." Xuanyu dipped a little oil in the bottle between his slender fingers, and he lay down on the bed. Du Heng stretched out his hand gently to wrap around Du Heng's waist.
Du Heng wanted to struggle, but Xuan Yu hugged him forcefully and gently.He kept moving, but his words were extremely gentle: "I fell in love with you the first time I saw you at the foot of Dongji Mountain. So I brought you to the village in the name of Xiaoxiao, in order to let you look at me more , tried everything possible to keep you by my side."
Du Heng frowned slightly, and Xuan Yu kissed the center of his brow: "Don't be afraid, it's just medicine."
Du Heng felt sweet and anxious: "Why is it me?"
Xuanyu is such a good person, after Du Heng had an idea about Xuanyu, he was always afraid that he would drag him down.He also thought about how unfair it would be to Xuanyu if he was really together with Xuanyu.
Xuanyu hugged Du Heng tenderly, and he kissed Du Heng intimately: "Because your appearance is the result of my praying to the heavens for thousands of years. So no matter what you think of me, despicable or shameless, in this life I will I just want to stay by your side and never want to let go."
Du Heng wanted to cry, smelling the fragrance of Xuan Yu's body, it seemed like fireworks were blooming in his mind.
Xuan Yu kissed the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "Don't cry, don't cry, I will feel bad. I'm sorry, I was too hasty. Originally, I wanted to give you more time to accept me slowly..."
Du Heng pressed his forehead against Xuanyu's chest: "Xuanyu, I am very happy, but also very disturbed. The happy thing is that you like me too, but the disturbing thing is that I think I know too little about you."
It was too sudden, just as Du Heng realized that he liked Xuan Yu, the two of them broke through that level of relationship.Although Du Heng is from modern times, his thinking is still very traditional. He feels that he must be responsible if he has a relationship.
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng, and he said slowly: "I will tell you whatever you want to know. From now on, I will not hide anything from you, you have to trust me."
Xuanyu lowered his head to touch Du Heng's forehead, and Du Heng felt a burst of soft aura pouring into his sea of consciousness.Xuan Yu's voice echoed in his mind: "I know you have always wanted to know my monster shape, I'm sorry, I don't have feathers and fur like Feng Gui and Jing Nan."
Xuanyu's voice was full of apology: "I... have a little mane on my neck, and it doesn't grow very well. Do you want to see it?"
Du Heng held Xuan Yu's face with both hands, and the feeling of happiness surged out of his heart uncontrollably: "No matter what your monster shape is, I will like it."
Because it is Xuan Yu, even if his demon form is a caterpillar, Du Heng can bear it.The monster form with a long mane, could it be that Xuanyu's monster form is a horse?Wait, are there any horses that live in the sea?seahorse?
There is a formation in the room of Xuanyu's house. Before Jingnan transformed into a monster in the room, he didn't break the house, and Xuanyu turned into a monster, and naturally he wouldn't break the room.
A cyan light flashed in the room, and a wall appeared in front of Du Heng's eyes.Cyan scales appeared in front of his eyes. Large scales gleamed with spiritual light and moved quickly. They were so gorgeous that people couldn't take their eyes off them. Looking carefully, this was not a wall, but Xuanyu's body.
Du Heng was sitting on the bed, he stared blankly at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to say.
Just now he thought that no matter what kind of monster Xuanyu's form was, he would not be surprised.But when he saw Xuanyu's body, he was still stunned.
Xuanyu in front of him has antlers, cow ears, shrimp whiskers, and two big and round eyes. His claws are like sharp eagle claws, and his body is covered with blue scales.His body is round and long, and there is even a pair of white wings on his back!
He is a dragon! !Xuanyu is a dragon! !
Du Heng never dreamed that the legendary creature would appear in front of him like this, his mind went blank.
Xuanyu's body was huge, his tail raised the bed and lifted Du Heng to the level of his eyes.Du Heng felt that he was on the top of the mountain, and Xuan Yu was everywhere he could see.
Xuanyu's gentle eyes were staring at Du Heng for a moment, and he lowered his head in embarrassment to show off the white-gold mane around his neck: "Just... only this little hair. After knowing that you like hair, I have recently Ask Jing Nan for a prescription, but it’s only so long.”
Xuanyu doesn't speak mighty and domineering, but as soon as he speaks, Du Heng knows that he is still the gentle and considerate Xuanyu.
Hearing Xuanyu's words, Du Heng couldn't laugh or cry: "It's very good, very domineering. It suits you very well!" Involuntarily, Du Heng wanted to coax Xuanyu. Seeing Xuanyu's neck approaching, Du Heng struggled to stand up and touched it. Xuanyu's mane.
Xuanyu's mane is not soft, it feels a little hard, but Du Heng thinks it is the smoothest hair he has ever touched: "How beautiful, rich and gorgeous."
Xuanyu's body was too big, and his so-called mane was bigger than a bed in Du Heng's opinion.
Xuanyu became happy, and he stretched out his wings in front of Du Heng: "I... have the blood of Yinglong, so I have a pair of wings, but the feathers on the wings are far less thick than Fenggui's."
Xuanyu's wings are white in color, and his feathers are neatly arranged like scales, which are very beautiful.
Du Heng stretched out his hand to touch Xuanyu's wings, he was used to the down feathers of Xiaoxiao, Xuanyu's wings were not soft.But his wings are much more domineering than Xiaoxiao's fledgling wings.
Du Heng put his face on Xuanyu's wings: "That's great, my Xuanyu is so good, with mane, feathers and scales, you have everything Jingnan and Fenggui have."
Hearing what Xuanyu said, Du Heng understood why Xuanyu had been clutching his monster form tightly.Because not long after he arrived in the village, Jing Nan asked him if he liked the Yu clan, and he admitted it without hesitation, and slammed the scaled snake clan by the way.Although dragons are different from snakes, they also have scales.
What he said inadvertently at that time made Xuanyu so mindful, he even silently applied the potion to grow his mane, and maybe secretly combed his wings to make them look like Fenggui.
What a problem he accidentally caused Xuan Yu, Du Heng blamed himself but was also moved.
"There is such a stupid dragon like you in the world, don't embarrass yourself in the future." Du Heng's face was stuck to the feather, he never thought that he would have such a stupid dragon wholeheartedly when he traveled to the world of self-cultivation where he was unfamiliar. treat him.
Because of Xuanyu, he has a home in the cultivation world.He is no longer alone, no longer wandering.
Xuanyu turned into a human form, and the wings on his back were much smaller, looking like an angel on TV.But the angels on TV will not kiss Du Heng, nor will they hug Du Heng.Du Heng lay in Xuan Yu's arms and looked at his face: "That's great."
If this is a dream, he is willing to never wake up for the rest of his life.
Du Heng wanted to say a lot to Xuan Yu, but he was too tired and sleepy.He didn't remember when he fell asleep, he only knew that when he woke up again, Xiaoxiao had squatted beside him.
Xiaoxiao's eyes are full of worry: "Jiujiu?"
Du Heng stretched out his hand and touched it with a smile: "Good morning." Smiling and rubbing against Du Heng, it was getting late, it was already noon, but Du Heng looked very tired and his face was not very good.
It was raining outside today, and the pattering raindrops hit the window sill, which made Du Heng, who had just woken up, a little groggy.Smiling and not making a fuss, he thought he was bending his head beside Du Heng to comb his hair.
Xiaoxiao's movements are very light, even if he occasionally pulls Du Heng's hair, Du Heng won't feel any pain.
Du Heng stretched his waist: "Are you hungry? I'll make you breakfast?" Smiling and shaking his head, he pressed on Du Heng's chest to prevent him from getting up.
Du Heng hugged and smiled suspiciously: "Hey? What's the matter today?"
Jing Nan pushed open the door: "Smile and say, you are sick and let you have a good rest."
After Jing Nan entered the door, he looked Du Heng up and down a few times: "Oh, the battle is fierce, Xiaoyu is really a man."
Du Heng's face turned red: "Jing Nan, you!"
Jing Nan spread her hands: "What a big deal, isn't it just that you have a Taoist couple and do what Taoist couples do. It's nothing, you are familiar with each other once. Oh, why are you so shy. But we Xiaoyu also It’s too bad, knowing that it’s your first time, you don’t take it easy, you can’t even get out of bed. We didn’t even get our lunch…”
Du Heng gritted his teeth in shame and anger: "Jing Nan!!"
Jing Nan, who was named, took out a five-spice marinated goose egg from his sleeve and cracked open the egg shell: "Ah, these days, if it becomes a good thing, forget about me as a matchmaker. If I hadn't pushed you, how long are you going to be ambiguous?" ? Cut, twitchy. You are not tired, I am exhausted just looking at you."
Du Heng covered his face with the quilt: "Get out, get out!"
Jing Nan shrugged and drifted away: "Pity me, a helpless little fox, no one loves me, no one loves me, and no one cooks lunch. Hey... I'm so hard."
The smell of five-spice marinated goose eggs left behind in the room, and Du Heng nestled under the quilt feeling ashamed to face others, at least ashamed to smile.
The cute smile rubbed against Du Heng's face, and he thoughtfully chirped twice.It's okay, if Du Heng is not feeling well, he should rest more, he can eat the snacks in the storage bag.

Du Heng still got up. He promised Xuanyu yesterday that he would make vinegared lotus root strips and stir-fried snails for Xuanyu today.
It was only after Du Heng left the bedroom that he realized that he had slept downstairs last night.
He saw Xuanyu feeding goslings in the yard.A formation was added around the wooden frame, so that the rain could not get inside the wooden frame.Thinly sliced lettuce leaves and steamed Ling rice are added to the food bowl of the goslings, and the goslings are quacking around the food bowl.
Du Heng leaned on the corridor and watched such a scene, and the corner of his mouth could not help but smile.
This is a dragon, but he is doing trivial and complicated things for himself.He clearly can soar above the nine heavens, but he is willing to bear the burden of hard work.Such a good person was actually won by him, Du Heng. He must have saved the world in his previous life in exchange for such a good thing.
Xuan Yu turned his head and looked at it with a smile: "Why did you get up? Lie down for a while. I'm going to make some porridge. Do you have anything to eat? I'll make it for you."
Du Heng was very moved, his heart was filled with Xuan Yu's love.Although Xuan Yu also said such things in the past, today they sound different. In the past, there was respect and politeness in his words, but today's words are full of consideration and care.
Before Du Heng could speak, Jing Nan said sourly: "Come on, come on, did you practice my elixir for nothing? Do you think he is so frail when he is alive and kicking?"
Du Heng turned his head and saw that Jing Nan was sitting on a chair in the living room, cracking five-spice marinated eggs.Xiaoxiao circled around Jing Nan's legs, hoping that Jing Nan would give him a bite of goose.
All the beauty and beauty were interrupted by Jing Nan, who sat in their living room like a huge light bulb.While emitting light and heat, this light bulb complained: "If I don't come, you two may be so tired. How about making me a sweet-skinned duck?"
A question mark hangs over Du Heng's head: "It's not Jing Nan, when did I say I'll make you a sweet-skinned duck?"
Could it be that Jing Nan can read minds or has he eaten this dish elsewhere?Du Heng didn't expect this dish, yet Jing Nan called the name?
Jing Nan snorted and said, "Didn't you say that? The stewed duck has a sweet skin." The corner of Du Heng's mouth twitched: "You remember wrongly, it's a sauced duck. But don't mention it, there really is a sweet-skinned duck. Dish."
Jing Nan's eyes lit up: "Really? Then do it quickly! Are there no ducks? I'll go down to Nanshan to catch them."
Du Heng said calmly: "I'm not very good at cooking. And there are already dishes for lunch today. We will have fried snails and vinegared lotus root strips for lunch."
Jing Nan complained all over his face: "Where's the meat?" Du Heng said: "Isn't there still Zhu Yan elbow soup from yesterday? Just put some lettuce in it and deal with it."
Jing Nan hummed angrily: "You will lose me, you will regret it if you are so perfunctory with me."
As soon as the words fell, Jing Nan lost the freshly peeled egg because of carelessness, and ran away with his five-spice egg in his mouth with a smile. Jing Nan had nothing to love.
Du Heng's stomach ached from laughing, and he said cheerfully, "It's delicious to eat bacon and vegetable rice at noon, how about making up for your loss?"
There are dishes that have not been eaten before!Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up instantly!
Du Heng took out the bacon from the refrigerator, and he also took out two sausages.This kind of sausage was specially made for Jing Nan. It was a little salty and sweet, not spicy at all.After Jing Nan ate it once, he didn't like the taste very much, so Du Heng put it in the refrigerator and didn't find it until today when he was making bacon and vegetable rice.
Du Heng washed the bacon and sausages and cut them into finger-sized dices, then soaked them in warm water to remove excess salt.Then he braved the pattering spring rain and walked out of the house and turned to his spiritual field.
Wen Qiong was practicing in the spiritual field. She was hanging above the spiritual field, and the aura around her surrounded her like an eggshell. The gentle spring rain hit the aura, and she didn't even wet a single strand of her hair.
Du Heng said hello and walked to the spiritual field. The crops he planted were all soaked in the spring rain, and the emerald green looked very gratifying.Du Heng twisted five stalks of lettuce, and he also pulled out two stalks of garlic, pinched a handful of onions, and twisted a few small peppers.
His vegetables grow well and have a variety of varieties. When the weather is better, he can make kimchi.
Just when Du Heng walked up to the Lingtian, Wen Qiong suddenly said, "Du Heng, you have advanced."
Du Heng was at a loss, what?When did he advance?
Wen Qiong opened her eyes, and she stood in front of Du Heng.Today Wen Qiong is all purple, like a purple cabbage.It's just that Wen Qiong looked a little uncomfortable, and Du Heng flinched for a moment, not knowing where he offended this aunt.
Wen Qiong reached out and tapped Du Heng's dantian, and then moved from the dantian to the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows.She said seriously: "There have been great changes here, and here. Haven't you noticed?"
Du Heng turned his consciousness into his body, but he was startled.His dantian has expanded dozens of times, before his aura was only slightly sinking, but now his consciousness is like standing on a vast ocean.At some point, the aura in his body condensed into a liquid!
The consciousness turned to his purple mansion again, the shell on the bamboo with the shell was gone, and what appeared in his mind was a slim green bamboo.Although it doesn't look very tall now, it has covered most of his Zifu, and it looks very domineering.
Wen Qiong frowned slightly: "Du Heng, I have no objection to you looking for a Taoist companion. It is a blessing to find a like-minded person to join hands with you along the way. There are many monks in this world who want to find someone whose cultivation level is much higher than their own. The reason for the monks to become Taoist companions is to improve their cultivation after double cultivation. A double cultivation with unequal strength has brought too many benefits to low-level monks, and there are too many people in the world who want to take shortcuts and get something for nothing. .”
Du Heng stood still and didn't dare to speak. To be honest, he had no memory of how the joy with Xuanyu yesterday started or ended.As for the changes in his body... If Wen Qiong hadn't reminded him, he really didn't notice.
To be a monk and do what he deserves is really amazing.
Seeing Du Heng's face, Wen Qiong showed helplessness: "As a teacher, I also know that this is not your original intention. I guess you are still ignorant of what happened."
Du Heng nodded hastily: "Master Mingjian, I am indeed a little dizzy."
Wen Qiong was annoyed and funny: "You, sometimes I think you are extremely smart, and sometimes I think you are so stupid that I worry about it. Du Heng, as a teacher, I have always told you that there is no shortcut to practice, only you have to figure it out and fully understand it. , it belongs to you.
"You have crossed the early stage of foundation building, the middle stage and the end stage overnight, and you are only a little bit close to being able to form alchemy. In one night, you have surpassed the painstaking efforts of many foundation building monks for more than ten years, decades or even hundreds of years. Your efforts will not deceive you. People, although you are at the level of the final stage of foundation establishment, your cultivation is given to you by others, not by your hard work. Once you fight, you will find the gap between yourself and others.
"I shouldn't have poured cold water on you at this time. It's just that you are progressing too fast. As a teacher, I am afraid that you will despise your practice. Practice is not easy, and you must not lose the big because of small things."
Du Heng put down the lettuce and bowed to Wen Qiong: "Disciple remembers, Master, please rest assured."
Wen Qiong patted Du Heng's shoulder, she smiled and showed two dimples: "Just remember it. Master, I want to congratulate you for finding a Taoist companion like Master Xuan. You must be happy in the future!"
Du Heng looked at Wen Qiong's face, Wen Qiong was smiling, but Du Heng wanted to cry.He thought, his luck is really good. After coming to the demon world, he has Xuan Yu who loves him, Jing Nan and Feng Gui who think about him everywhere, and he can get guidance from a strict and gentle master like Wen Qiong.
They kept him from being confused when he was confused, solved his problems when he was in pain, sheltered him from the wind and rain when he was helpless, and worried about everything for him when he didn't think about it... Even for them , Du Heng will practice hard and never slack off.
Du Heng's eyes were slightly red: "Disciple remember."
Wen Qiong bent down and picked up two lettuces and walked towards the yard of Xuanyu's house: "What are you doing delicious for lunch? By the way, the milk tea you made last time was quite delicious. Can I boil a pot in the afternoon? I really want to drink."
Du Heng followed Wen Qiong's footsteps: "Okay, okay, master, what else do you want to eat, tell the disciple, and the disciple will make it for you."

Wen Qiong and Jing Nan were sitting under the eaves of the porch, and they were using spiritual energy to cut off the tail of the snail.There is also a trick to cutting snails. It should be broken at the second section of the spiral tail. If the cut is too large or too small, the meat inside will not be easily sucked out.Of course, if the fried meat is old, it will be even more difficult to suck it out.
Wen Qiong held a small snail in her hand, and she stared at the black hijab above the mouth of the snail: "Ah... so troublesome. Can this thing really be eaten?"
Du Heng was preparing the ingredients for cooking inside. He picked up the tenderest lettuce leaves and washed them. Now he is cutting the lettuce leaves into small pieces.Hearing Wen Qiong's question, he replied: "Of course you can eat it. Master, you should try the most primitive way of eating first. If you find it troublesome, next time I will boil the snails first, and then pick the snail meat inside." Come out and fry leeks."
Jing Nan dropped the snail in his hand angrily: "It's too much, let me do things, but they don't cook fresh dishes for me!"
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan: "Sweet duck...don't you want to eat it?"
Jing Nan fished out the snails from the water again, and said resignedly, "Eat..."
In the rice pot, Du Heng put the washed lingmi, and then he added [-]% less water to the lingmi than usual.He raised a fire in another pot, then poured soybean oil into the pot and pushed in shredded ginger.
To make rice with bacon, Du Heng likes to use lettuce leaves.The lettuce leaves have a fragrance, which Du Heng thinks is better than green vegetables.In fact, the main reason is that when the small green vegetables he planted were still edible, he was too lazy to give birth to green vegetables.As Wen Qiong warned him, haste makes waste.
The vegetables in the vegetable field have no soul if they are not nourished by the sun and rain, just like the aura in Du Heng's dantian that has condensed into a liquid state. When Du Heng uses it, he always feels that the aura is not his.
After the oil in the pan was hot, he pushed the soaked bacon and sausage into the pan.The bacon and sausage should be fried first to get the aroma out of the fat inside, so that the cooked rice will be oily and delicious.
After stir-frying for a while, Du Heng poured the lettuce leaves into the pot and stir-fried them together.He sprinkled a spoonful of salt in the pot to adjust the taste a bit, and when he put down the salt shaker, he thought of the mushroom extract he made successfully yesterday.
The mushrooms have been roasted and crushed to taste, and now they are a yellowish powder in the jar.Du Heng sprinkled a spoonful into the pot, he wanted to try the taste of mushroom essence.See if the dish with mushroom essence is more delicious.
Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled, he squatted on the stove and asked Du Heng.Xuanyu translated: "I ask you with a smile, isn't there already salt in the bacon? Why do you need to add salt?"
Only then did Du Heng realize that when Xiaoxiao squatted and watched him cook, he had already started to think about his cooking steps.He smiled and said, "Indeed, bacon and sausages are already salty. If I hadn't soaked them just now, maybe I wouldn't need to add salt. It's just that I just soaked them, so I need to add a little salt to taste."
Du Heng explained: "If the bacon is cooked directly without soaking, it is not easy to control the saltiness. After soaking, it will be a little saltier than the fresh one, but not too much, so a little bit is enough. "
After Du Heng explained, seeing Xiaoxiao's bright eyes, he touched his head happily.
After the lettuce leaves in the pot softened, Du Heng transferred the stir-fried vegetable meat and soup to the Ling rice.He turned it over with a spatula and then covered the pot, and then he could cook bacon and rice in the normal way.
Some people in my hometown like to wait until the rice is about to ripen and put green vegetables into it when making bacon and vegetable rice.However, Du Heng prefers to put the vegetables in and cook together at the beginning. Although the cooked vegetables turn yellow, the cooked rice is very delicious.
There are many choices of vegetables in the vegetable rice. Some people also put green peas or use freshly marketed lentils.The taste of bacon and rice cooked by each family is different, but without exception, they are the most suitable for their own taste.
While cooking the vegetable rice, Du Heng cut the lotus root strips he picked up yesterday into oblique pieces.The taste of lotus root strips is crisp and tender, and the pickled lotus root strips made into hot and sour taste are especially suitable for eating in summer, but Jing Nan doesn't like spicy food.Du Heng is going to change it into a sweet and sour vinegar lotus root belt.
Before he makes kimchi in a few days, he can go to Nanshan to pick up some lotus root and soak it in the kimchi jar together.When Fenggui sends someone to pick up the vegetables, they will be able to eat sour and spicy kimchi.
After the oil in the pot was hot, Du Heng threw the shredded ginger and crushed garlic cloves into the pot.While waiting for the ginger and garlic to be fragrant, Du Heng picked up the plate.The white and tender lotus root on the plate looked very cute, Du Heng couldn't help but squeezed one and threw it into his mouth to chew.
Um!Tender!The lotus root belt is tenderer than the lotus root slices, and it is worthy of being the lotus root when I was a child.
Du Heng not only ate by himself, but Xuanyu who happened to walk beside him was also fed by him.Xuanyu was stuffed into his mouth cold, and after chewing, he gave a comment: "Very crispy, and a little sweet."
Xiaoxiao refused, he wants to try it too!He flapped his wings and opened his mouth to beg for food, Du Heng naturally couldn't forget him.Smiling and chewing the lotus root belt, he decided that next time he went to Nanshan, he would help Du Heng get the lotus root belt together!
The ginger and garlic were fully sautéed, and Du Heng poured the lotus root from the plate into the pot.Hearing a thud burst out of the pot, Du Heng hurriedly stir-fried the lotus root strips in the pot. The lotus root strips are too tender and don't need to be stir-fried for a long time.
Du Heng has already prepared the seasoning for sweet and sour lotus root. There is more than half a bowl of seasoning in the small bowl. These seasonings are the result of the combined action of sweet and sour salt and light soy sauce.To make sweet and sour lotus root scallops, the ratio of sugar to vinegar should be large. If you add one spoonful of salt, you need to add two spoonfuls of sugar; if you add three spoonfuls of soy sauce, you need to add five spoonfuls of vinegar.This seasoning is sour and sweet!
The seasonings have long been evenly blended together by Du Heng, and now he just needs to pour these seasonings into the pot along the side of the pot.
As soon as the seasoning is put into the pot, the white lotus root belt is dyed the color of caramel.Jing Nan and the others immediately smelled the sweet and sour smell, Jing Nan sniffled: "Mmm! I like this smell!"
Du Heng was busy thickening the sauce, he smiled and said, "You said you liked it before I fried it? What if it doesn't suit your appetite?"
Jing Nan said affirmatively: "I like the little pickles you made. This taste is very similar to the little pickles. You can't go wrong."
Du Heng sprinkled the thickened gorgon juice into the pot, shoveled it a few shovels, and then sprinkled with chopped green onion, a plate of sweet and sour lotus root with sweet and sour taste came out of the pot.The whole process takes no more than half a cup of tea, and the lotus root belt remains crisp and tender while being coated with a light layer of thickening seasoning.Putting it on the dining table, the sweet and sour smell seduced Jing Nan so much that he couldn't sit still anymore.
Fortunately, Jing Nan and Wen Qiong had already cleaned up the snails, so they could sit at the dining table and taste the crisp and tender lotus root belt.There are many holes in the lotus root belt, these holes are filled with soup, and eating a sweet and sour appetizer is no worse than eating meat dishes.
Xuan Yu picked up a chopstick and fed it to Du Heng: "Try it, if you like this, I will go to Nanshan to pick some more in two days."
Du Heng bit the lotus root belt and smiled and narrowed his eyes: "I'm also thinking about this, pick some more and make pickled lotus root belt. By the way, do we have a kimchi jar at home? It's best to use that kind of clay jar."
Xuanyu thought for a while: "No, why don't we go to Lingxi Town if we have time? If we can't find it, we can ask someone from Treasure Workshop to customize it."
Du Heng hasn't been to Lingxi Town for a long time, he nodded when he heard this: "Okay."
He and Xuanyu really have a tacit understanding. Before he wanted to do something, Xuanyu helped him do it in advance. Du Heng always thought that it was Xuanyu who was considerate and caring.But now he feels that this may be an innate tacit understanding!
The cleaned snails gave up struggling, and they stayed quietly in the Shaw Kei one by one. Their shells were washed clean, and the moss growing on them were washed, leaving only the green shell.Such snails are the fattest and most suitable for stir-frying!
As usual, the onion, ginger, garlic and chili rings are put into the oil pan to saute until fragrant. This time, when the smoke comes out of the pan, Du Heng puts the snails into the pan.
The snail shell is hard, and the sound of colliding with the iron pan is crisp, and there will be a crackling sound when it is stir-fried.Du Heng aggressively called two spoonfuls of white wine along the side of the pot, and the scorching iron pot touched the white wine and immediately burst into flames.
In the flames, Du Heng poured soy sauce, salt and sugar into it calmly. When the alcohol in the liquor was burned, Du Heng also stir-fried the snails and seasonings into one.
The screws couldn't stand the high temperature and scald, and they lost their armor one by one, and many brown snail caps appeared on the spatula.There was a smell of braised sauce in the pot. Du Heng poured half a spoonful of water and covered the pot. When the pot boiled again, he could sprinkle mushroom essence on the pot.
Ever since he had mushroom essence, Du Heng felt that his heroic feeling of sprinkling MSG had returned!Although it was the first time he ate it after he made it.
The time to stir-fry snails does not need to be too long, the whole process can be completed within a cup of tea.When the water in the pot boiled, Du Heng put the snails in a big bowl.The juicy snails exposed the snail meat, which made Jing Nan and the others helpless, who had never eaten snails.
Du Heng made a demonstration. He picked up a snail with chopsticks and blew it, and then sucked it sharply at the head of the snail.With a sound of '哉', the snail meat popped out of the lid.Du Heng is a very picky person. When he eats snails, he only eats a little meat from the head of the snails, and he does not eat the intestines below.
As soon as the teeth were gently closed, Du Heng took away the fattest snail meat, and he put down the shell, only half of the snail intestines remained in the shell.
The snail meat in the mouth is fresh and tender, the sauce is adjusted just right, and the salty freshness is slightly spicy. This level of snail Jingnan can be eaten.Du Heng chewed the snail meat in his mouth. After the snail meat was stir-fried, the meat was plump, tender and elastic, and the teeth were not old at all.
When he was in his hometown, Du Heng didn't like to eat snails outside, because he didn't know where to get the snails outside, and the chefs would always add Chinese prickly ash, aniseed beer, and chili to stew them hard for fear of parasites in them.The snail meat stewed in this way is already old in the mouth, and it tastes like seasoning, and the original deliciousness of the snail meat is gone.
He only loves the snails found in the clear river in his hometown. The snails around Qingming are the fattest time of the year. When they are fried with sauce and fried, he and his family can suck them for a long time.Occasionally, when a few stubborn snails refused to expose their meat for them to taste, Du Heng would resort to the ultimate weapon—the sewing needle.
No matter how stubborn the snail meat is, it will fall into Du Heng's mouth obediently.
Children who are new to eating snails have a sewing needle in hand, but after they are proficient, they will find that the fun of eating snails lies in this one.The snail meat and the juice are sucked into the mouth together, that is beautiful!
Du Heng ate a few in a row, and after he stopped, he could already hear the sound of breathing in various colors on the dining table.After a while, Jing Nan showed the results of the battle. He held up the empty snail shell: "Hey, it's sucked out! It's not bad, it's fun~"
Wen Qiong and Xuan Yu soon
Du Heng felt that he was dying of thirst. In the flames, he was like a bamboo trapped in the bamboo shoots.He was so uncomfortable that he just wanted to cry, even if he was immersed in the warm spring water, he still felt anxious.He hugged Xuanyu tightly, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he could only call Xuanyu's name helplessly.
His mind was in chaos, and Jing Nan's voice appeared after a while: "What identity are you standing by Xuanyu's side? Xuanyu has no shortage of friends and relatives."
After a while, Xuanyu's face appeared, and Xuanyu's face was vague, sometimes close as if he was beside him, and sometimes far away as if in the sky.
Xuanyu's voice was as gentle as ever, and he asked himself: "Du Heng, do you like me? I'm not talking about like like Xiaoxiao, but like between Taoist couples. I like you, do you like me? "
Du Heng said in a daze, "I like it. I like Xuanyu."
After saying this, the bamboo shoots in Du Heng's heart finally popped out of the ground.
Du Heng suddenly realized that he likes Xuan Yu!When he saw Xuan Yu and Wen Qiong standing together before, his heart was sour, so it was because of this reason!
Not just liking like a friend, but wanting to be with him, wanting to be close to him.What he was looking forward to was to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Xuan Yu, to have a skin-to-skin kiss with him!
Xuan Yu had been lurking by Du Heng's side from the very beginning and gradually captured Du Heng's heart, but Du Heng was always ignorant.He used to think that he liked girls with round faces and big eyes like Wen Qiong, but he didn't know when he had Xuanyu in his heart.
He can't bring up any love between men and women for Wen Qiong, but Xuan Yu has taken root in his heart.He turned into a bamboo shoot in Du Heng's heart. He gave the bamboo shoot too much love and warmth. When the conditions were right, the bamboo shoot broke out of its shell and occupied his heart at an unimaginable speed of Du Heng.
Du Heng was like a small boat, Xuanyu was the water that carried him, he was thrown high by Xuanyu and fell heavily.
The intimacy in the dream really happened, and Du Heng cried and endured it.He felt that he was broken up by Xuan Yu, and put it back together again.
Xuanyu's voice echoed in his ears, gentle and lingering; Xuanyu's body hugged him, hot and lingering; Xuanyu's spiritual energy poured into Du Heng's sea of consciousness dantian, vast and gentle.
Du Heng didn't know when he passed out, he only knew that when he woke up, he was lying in Xuanyu's arms in an awkward position.He was a little dazed, feeling like he was dreaming.Seeing Du Heng woke up, Xuan Yu gently kissed his forehead: "Does it hurt?"
Pain, the pain as if the whole body fell apart, Du Heng felt that the body was no longer his own.But this kind of pain is very unusual compared to the pain of being beaten by Peizhu. How to describe this feeling?
He blinked: "Well..."
Xuan Yu stood up and took out a small jade bottle from the bedside table: "Shall I give you some more medicine?"
Du Heng pulled the quilt silently to cover his head, Xuan Yu hurriedly pulled the quilt away: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Du Heng didn't know how to face Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu...you and I..."
Xuan Yu laughed out loud: "It's really not easy for you to say that you like me. Do you know how long I have liked you?"
Du Heng's head emerged from the quilt like a mushroom: "How long?"
Xuanyu lifted the bottle cap, and a fresh fragrance overflowed from the bottle: "I fell in love with you from the first sight." Xuanyu dipped a little oil in the bottle between his slender fingers, and he lay down on the bed. Du Heng stretched out his hand gently to wrap around Du Heng's waist.
Du Heng wanted to struggle, but Xuan Yu hugged him forcefully and gently.He kept moving, but his words were extremely gentle: "I fell in love with you the first time I saw you at the foot of Dongji Mountain. So I brought you to the village in the name of Xiaoxiao, in order to let you look at me more , tried everything possible to keep you by my side."
Du Heng frowned slightly, and Xuan Yu kissed the center of his brow: "Don't be afraid, it's just medicine."
Du Heng felt sweet and anxious: "Why is it me?"
Xuanyu is such a good person, after Du Heng had an idea about Xuanyu, he was always afraid that he would drag him down.He also thought about how unfair it would be to Xuanyu if he was really together with Xuanyu.
Xuanyu hugged Du Heng tenderly, and he kissed Du Heng intimately: "Because your appearance is the result of my praying to the heavens for thousands of years. So no matter what you think of me, despicable or shameless, in this life I will I just want to stay by your side and never want to let go."
Du Heng wanted to cry, smelling the fragrance of Xuan Yu's body, it seemed like fireworks were blooming in his mind.
Xuan Yu kissed the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "Don't cry, don't cry, I will feel bad. I'm sorry, I was too hasty. Originally, I wanted to give you more time to accept me slowly..."
Du Heng pressed his forehead against Xuanyu's chest: "Xuanyu, I am very happy, but also very disturbed. The happy thing is that you like me too, but the disturbing thing is that I think I know too little about you."
It was too sudden, just as Du Heng realized that he liked Xuan Yu, the two of them broke through that level of relationship.Although Du Heng is from modern times, his thinking is still very traditional. He feels that he must be responsible if he has a relationship.
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng, and he said slowly: "I will tell you whatever you want to know. From now on, I will not hide anything from you, you have to trust me."
Xuanyu lowered his head to touch Du Heng's forehead, and Du Heng felt a burst of soft aura pouring into his sea of consciousness.Xuan Yu's voice echoed in his mind: "I know you have always wanted to know my monster shape, I'm sorry, I don't have feathers and fur like Feng Gui and Jing Nan."
Xuanyu's voice was full of apology: "I... have a little mane on my neck, and it doesn't grow very well. Do you want to see it?"
Du Heng held Xuan Yu's face with both hands, and the feeling of happiness surged out of his heart uncontrollably: "No matter what your monster shape is, I will like it."
Because it is Xuan Yu, even if his demon form is a caterpillar, Du Heng can bear it.The monster form with a long mane, could it be that Xuanyu's monster form is a horse?Wait, are there any horses that live in the sea?seahorse?
There is a formation in the room of Xuanyu's house. Before Jingnan transformed into a monster in the room, he didn't break the house, and Xuanyu turned into a monster, and naturally he wouldn't break the room.
A cyan light flashed in the room, and a wall appeared in front of Du Heng's eyes.Cyan scales appeared in front of his eyes. Large scales gleamed with spiritual light and moved quickly. They were so gorgeous that people couldn't take their eyes off them. Looking carefully, this was not a wall, but Xuanyu's body.
Du Heng was sitting on the bed, he stared blankly at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to say.
Just now he thought that no matter what kind of monster Xuanyu's form was, he would not be surprised.But when he saw Xuanyu's body, he was still stunned.
Xuanyu in front of him has antlers, cow ears, shrimp whiskers, and two big and round eyes. His claws are like sharp eagle claws, and his body is covered with blue scales.His body is round and long, and there is even a pair of white wings on his back!
He is a dragon! !Xuanyu is a dragon! !
Du Heng never dreamed that the legendary creature would appear in front of him like this, his mind went blank.
Xuanyu's body was huge, his tail raised the bed and lifted Du Heng to the level of his eyes.Du Heng felt that he was on the top of the mountain, and Xuan Yu was everywhere he could see.
Xuanyu's gentle eyes were staring at Du Heng for a moment, and he lowered his head in embarrassment to show off the white-gold mane around his neck: "Just... only this little hair. After knowing that you like hair, I have recently Ask Jing Nan for a prescription, but it’s only so long.”
Xuanyu doesn't speak mighty and domineering, but as soon as he speaks, Du Heng knows that he is still the gentle and considerate Xuanyu.
Hearing Xuanyu's words, Du Heng couldn't laugh or cry: "It's very good, very domineering. It suits you very well!" Involuntarily, Du Heng wanted to coax Xuanyu. Seeing Xuanyu's neck approaching, Du Heng struggled to stand up and touched it. Xuanyu's mane.
Xuanyu's mane is not soft, it feels a little hard, but Du Heng thinks it is the smoothest hair he has ever touched: "How beautiful, rich and gorgeous."
Xuanyu's body was too big, and his so-called mane was bigger than a bed in Du Heng's opinion.
Xuanyu became happy, and he stretched out his wings in front of Du Heng: "I... have the blood of Yinglong, so I have a pair of wings, but the feathers on the wings are far less thick than Fenggui's."
Xuanyu's wings are white in color, and his feathers are neatly arranged like scales, which are very beautiful.
Du Heng stretched out his hand to touch Xuanyu's wings, he was used to the down feathers of Xiaoxiao, Xuanyu's wings were not soft.But his wings are much more domineering than Xiaoxiao's fledgling wings.
Du Heng put his face on Xuanyu's wings: "That's great, my Xuanyu is so good, with mane, feathers and scales, you have everything Jingnan and Fenggui have."
Hearing what Xuanyu said, Du Heng understood why Xuanyu had been clutching his monster form tightly.Because not long after he arrived in the village, Jing Nan asked him if he liked the Yu clan, and he admitted it without hesitation, and slammed the scaled snake clan by the way.Although dragons are different from snakes, they also have scales.
What he said inadvertently at that time made Xuanyu so mindful, he even silently applied the potion to grow his mane, and maybe secretly combed his wings to make them look like Fenggui.
What a problem he accidentally caused Xuan Yu, Du Heng blamed himself but was also moved.
"There is such a stupid dragon like you in the world, don't embarrass yourself in the future." Du Heng's face was stuck to the feather, he never thought that he would have such a stupid dragon wholeheartedly when he traveled to the world of self-cultivation where he was unfamiliar. treat him.
Because of Xuanyu, he has a home in the cultivation world.He is no longer alone, no longer wandering.
Xuanyu turned into a human form, and the wings on his back were much smaller, looking like an angel on TV.But the angels on TV will not kiss Du Heng, nor will they hug Du Heng.Du Heng lay in Xuan Yu's arms and looked at his face: "That's great."
If this is a dream, he is willing to never wake up for the rest of his life.
Du Heng wanted to say a lot to Xuan Yu, but he was too tired and sleepy.He didn't remember when he fell asleep, he only knew that when he woke up again, Xiaoxiao had squatted beside him.
Xiaoxiao's eyes are full of worry: "Jiujiu?"
Du Heng stretched out his hand and touched it with a smile: "Good morning." Smiling and rubbing against Du Heng, it was getting late, it was already noon, but Du Heng looked very tired and his face was not very good.
It was raining outside today, and the pattering raindrops hit the window sill, which made Du Heng, who had just woken up, a little groggy.Smiling and not making a fuss, he thought he was bending his head beside Du Heng to comb his hair.
Xiaoxiao's movements are very light, even if he occasionally pulls Du Heng's hair, Du Heng won't feel any pain.
Du Heng stretched his waist: "Are you hungry? I'll make you breakfast?" Smiling and shaking his head, he pressed on Du Heng's chest to prevent him from getting up.
Du Heng hugged and smiled suspiciously: "Hey? What's the matter today?"
Jing Nan pushed open the door: "Smile and say, you are sick and let you have a good rest."
After Jing Nan entered the door, he looked Du Heng up and down a few times: "Oh, the battle is fierce, Xiaoyu is really a man."
Du Heng's face turned red: "Jing Nan, you!"
Jing Nan spread her hands: "What a big deal, isn't it just that you have a Taoist couple and do what Taoist couples do. It's nothing, you are familiar with each other once. Oh, why are you so shy. But we Xiaoyu also It’s too bad, knowing that it’s your first time, you don’t take it easy, you can’t even get out of bed. We didn’t even get our lunch…”
Du Heng gritted his teeth in shame and anger: "Jing Nan!!"
Jing Nan, who was named, took out a five-spice marinated goose egg from his sleeve and cracked open the egg shell: "Ah, these days, if it becomes a good thing, forget about me as a matchmaker. If I hadn't pushed you, how long are you going to be ambiguous?" ? Cut, twitchy. You are not tired, I am exhausted just looking at you."
Du Heng covered his face with the quilt: "Get out, get out!"
Jing Nan shrugged and drifted away: "Pity me, a helpless little fox, no one loves me, no one loves me, and no one cooks lunch. Hey... I'm so hard."
The smell of five-spice marinated goose eggs left behind in the room, and Du Heng nestled under the quilt feeling ashamed to face others, at least ashamed to smile.
The cute smile rubbed against Du Heng's face, and he thoughtfully chirped twice.It's okay, if Du Heng is not feeling well, he should rest more, he can eat the snacks in the storage bag.
167
Du Heng still got up. He promised Xuanyu yesterday that he would make vinegared lotus root strips and stir-fried snails for Xuanyu today.
It was only after Du Heng left the bedroom that he realized that he had slept downstairs last night.
He saw Xuanyu feeding goslings in the yard.A formation was added around the wooden frame, so that the rain could not get inside the wooden frame.Thinly sliced lettuce leaves and steamed Ling rice are added to the food bowl of the goslings, and the goslings are quacking around the food bowl.
Du Heng leaned on the corridor and watched such a scene, and the corner of his mouth could not help but smile.
This is a dragon, but he is doing trivial and complicated things for himself.He clearly can soar above the nine heavens, but he is willing to bear the burden of hard work.Such a good person was actually won by him, Du Heng. He must have saved the world in his previous life in exchange for such a good thing.
Xuan Yu turned his head and looked at it with a smile: "Why did you get up? Lie down for a while. I'm going to make some porridge. Do you have anything to eat? I'll make it for you."
Du Heng was very moved, his heart was filled with Xuan Yu's love.Although Xuan Yu also said such things in the past, today they sound different. In the past, there was respect and politeness in his words, but today's words are full of consideration and care.
Before Du Heng could speak, Jing Nan said sourly: "Come on, come on, did you practice my elixir for nothing? Do you think he is so frail when he is alive and kicking?"
Du Heng turned his head and saw that Jing Nan was sitting on a chair in the living room, cracking five-spice marinated eggs.Xiaoxiao circled around Jing Nan's legs, hoping that Jing Nan would give him a bite of goose.
All the beauty and beauty were interrupted by Jing Nan, who sat in their living room like a huge light bulb.While emitting light and heat, this light bulb complained: "If I don't come, you two may be so tired. How about making me a sweet-skinned duck?"
A question mark hangs over Du Heng's head: "It's not Jing Nan, when did I say I'll make you a sweet-skinned duck?"
Could it be that Jing Nan can read minds or has he eaten this dish elsewhere?Du Heng didn't expect this dish, yet Jing Nan called the name?
Jing Nan snorted and said, "Didn't you say that? The stewed duck has a sweet skin." The corner of Du Heng's mouth twitched: "You remember wrongly, it's a sauced duck. But don't mention it, there really is a sweet-skinned duck. Dish."
Jing Nan's eyes lit up: "Really? Then do it quickly! Are there no ducks? I'll go down to Nanshan to catch them."
Du Heng said calmly: "I'm not very good at cooking. And there are already dishes for lunch today. We will have fried snails and vinegared lotus root strips for lunch."
Jing Nan complained all over his face: "Where's the meat?" Du Heng said: "Isn't there still Zhu Yan elbow soup from yesterday? Just put some lettuce in it and deal with it."
Jing Nan hummed angrily: "You will lose me, you will regret it if you are so perfunctory with me."
As soon as the words fell, Jing Nan lost the freshly peeled egg because of carelessness, and ran away with his five-spice egg in his mouth with a smile. Jing Nan had nothing to love.
Du Heng's stomach ached from laughing, and he said cheerfully, "It's delicious to eat bacon and vegetable rice at noon, how about making up for your loss?"
There are dishes that have not been eaten before!Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up instantly!
Du Heng took out the bacon from the refrigerator, and he also took out two sausages.This kind of sausage was specially made for Jing Nan. It was a little salty and sweet, not spicy at all.After Jing Nan ate it once, he didn't like the taste very much, so Du Heng put it in the refrigerator and didn't find it until today when he was making bacon and vegetable rice.
Du Heng washed the bacon and sausages and cut them into finger-sized dices, then soaked them in warm water to remove excess salt.Then he braved the pattering spring rain and walked out of the house and turned to his spiritual field.
Wen Qiong was practicing in the spiritual field. She was hanging above the spiritual field, and the aura around her surrounded her like an eggshell. The gentle spring rain hit the aura, and she didn't even wet a single strand of her hair.
Du Heng said hello and walked to the spiritual field. The crops he planted were all soaked in the spring rain, and the emerald green looked very gratifying.Du Heng twisted five stalks of lettuce, and he also pulled out two stalks of garlic, pinched a handful of onions, and twisted a few small peppers.
His vegetables grow well and have a variety of varieties. When the weather is better, he can make kimchi.
Just when Du Heng walked up to the Lingtian, Wen Qiong suddenly said, "Du Heng, you have advanced."
Du Heng was at a loss, what?When did he advance?
Wen Qiong opened her eyes, and she stood in front of Du Heng.Today Wen Qiong is all purple, like a purple cabbage.It's just that Wen Qiong looked a little uncomfortable, and Du Heng flinched for a moment, not knowing where he offended this aunt.
Wen Qiong reached out and tapped Du Heng's dantian, and then moved from the dantian to the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows.She said seriously: "There have been great changes here, and here. Haven't you noticed?"
Du Heng turned his consciousness into his body, but he was startled.His dantian has expanded dozens of times, before his aura was only slightly sinking, but now his consciousness is like standing on a vast ocean.At some point, the aura in his body condensed into a liquid!
The consciousness turned to his purple mansion again, the shell on the bamboo with the shell was gone, and what appeared in his mind was a slim green bamboo.Although it doesn't look very tall now, it has covered most of his Zifu, and it looks very domineering.
Wen Qiong frowned slightly: "Du Heng, I have no objection to you looking for a Taoist companion. It is a blessing to find a like-minded person to join hands with you along the way. There are many monks in this world who want to find someone whose cultivation level is much higher than their own. The reason for the monks to become Taoist companions is to improve their cultivation after double cultivation. A double cultivation with unequal strength has brought too many benefits to low-level monks, and there are too many people in the world who want to take shortcuts and get something for nothing. .”
Du Heng stood still and didn't dare to speak. To be honest, he had no memory of how the joy with Xuanyu yesterday started or ended.As for the changes in his body... If Wen Qiong hadn't reminded him, he really didn't notice.
To be a monk and do what he deserves is really amazing.
Seeing Du Heng's face, Wen Qiong showed helplessness: "As a teacher, I also know that this is not your original intention. I guess you are still ignorant of what happened."
Du Heng nodded hastily: "Master Mingjian, I am indeed a little dizzy."
Wen Qiong was annoyed and funny: "You, sometimes I think you are extremely smart, and sometimes I think you are so stupid that I worry about it. Du Heng, as a teacher, I have always told you that there is no shortcut to practice, only you have to figure it out and fully understand it. , it belongs to you.
"You have crossed the early stage of foundation building, the middle stage and the end stage overnight, and you are only a little bit close to being able to form alchemy. In one night, you have surpassed the painstaking efforts of many foundation building monks for more than ten years, decades or even hundreds of years. Your efforts will not deceive you. People, although you are at the level of the final stage of foundation establishment, your cultivation is given to you by others, not by your hard work. Once you fight, you will find the gap between yourself and others.
"I shouldn't have poured cold water on you at this time. It's just that you are progressing too fast. As a teacher, I am afraid that you will despise your practice. Practice is not easy, and you must not lose the big because of small things."
Du Heng put down the lettuce and bowed to Wen Qiong: "Disciple remembers, Master, please rest assured."
Wen Qiong patted Du Heng's shoulder, she smiled and showed two dimples: "Just remember it. Master, I want to congratulate you for finding a Taoist companion like Master Xuan. You must be happy in the future!"
Du Heng looked at Wen Qiong's face, Wen Qiong was smiling, but Du Heng wanted to cry.He thought, his luck is really good. After coming to the demon world, he has Xuan Yu who loves him, Jing Nan and Feng Gui who think about him everywhere, and he can get guidance from a strict and gentle master like Wen Qiong.
They kept him from being confused when he was confused, solved his problems when he was in pain, sheltered him from the wind and rain when he was helpless, and worried about everything for him when he didn't think about it... Even for them , Du Heng will practice hard and never slack off.
Du Heng's eyes were slightly red: "Disciple remember."
Wen Qiong bent down and picked up two lettuces and walked towards the yard of Xuanyu's house: "What are you doing delicious for lunch? By the way, the milk tea you made last time was quite delicious. Can I boil a pot in the afternoon? I really want to drink."
Du Heng followed Wen Qiong's footsteps: "Okay, okay, master, what else do you want to eat, tell the disciple, and the disciple will make it for you."
168
Wen Qiong and Jing Nan were sitting under the eaves of the porch, and they were using spiritual energy to cut off the tail of the snail.There is also a trick to cutting snails. It should be broken at the second section of the spiral tail. If the cut is too large or too small, the meat inside will not be easily sucked out.Of course, if the fried meat is old, it will be even more difficult to suck it out.
Wen Qiong held a small snail in her hand, and she stared at the black hijab above the mouth of the snail: "Ah... so troublesome. Can this thing really be eaten?"
Du Heng was preparing the ingredients for cooking inside. He picked up the tenderest lettuce leaves and washed them. Now he is cutting the lettuce leaves into small pieces.Hearing Wen Qiong's question, he replied: "Of course you can eat it. Master, you should try the most primitive way of eating first. If you find it troublesome, next time I will boil the snails first, and then pick the snail meat inside." Come out and fry leeks."
Jing Nan dropped the snail in his hand angrily: "It's too much, let me do things, but they don't cook fresh dishes for me!"
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan: "Sweet duck...don't you want to eat it?"
Jing Nan fished out the snails from the water again, and said resignedly, "Eat..."
In the rice pot, Du Heng put the washed lingmi, and then he added [-]% less water to the lingmi than usual.He raised a fire in another pot, then poured soybean oil into the pot and pushed in shredded ginger.
To make rice with bacon, Du Heng likes to use lettuce leaves.The lettuce leaves have a fragrance, which Du Heng thinks is better than green vegetables.In fact, the main reason is that when the small green vegetables he planted were still edible, he was too lazy to give birth to green vegetables.As Wen Qiong warned him, haste makes waste.
The vegetables in the vegetable field have no soul if they are not nourished by the sun and rain, just like the aura in Du Heng's dantian that has condensed into a liquid state. When Du Heng uses it, he always feels that the aura is not his.
After the oil in the pan was hot, he pushed the soaked bacon and sausage into the pan.The bacon and sausage should be fried first to get the aroma out of the fat inside, so that the cooked rice will be oily and delicious.
After stir-frying for a while, Du Heng poured the lettuce leaves into the pot and stir-fried them together.He sprinkled a spoonful of salt in the pot to adjust the taste a bit, and when he put down the salt shaker, he thought of the mushroom extract he made successfully yesterday.
The mushrooms have been roasted and crushed to taste, and now they are a yellowish powder in the jar.Du Heng sprinkled a spoonful into the pot, he wanted to try the taste of mushroom essence.See if the dish with mushroom essence is more delicious.
Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled, he squatted on the stove and asked Du Heng.Xuanyu translated: "I ask you with a smile, isn't there already salt in the bacon? Why do you need to add salt?"
Only then did Du Heng realize that when Xiaoxiao squatted and watched him cook, he had already started to think about his cooking steps.He smiled and said, "Indeed, bacon and sausages are already salty. If I hadn't soaked them just now, maybe I wouldn't need to add salt. It's just that I just soaked them, so I need to add a little salt to taste."
Du Heng explained: "If the bacon is cooked directly without soaking, it is not easy to control the saltiness. After soaking, it will be a little saltier than the fresh one, but not too much, so a little bit is enough. "
After Du Heng explained, seeing Xiaoxiao's bright eyes, he touched his head happily.
After the lettuce leaves in the pot softened, Du Heng transferred the stir-fried vegetable meat and soup to the Ling rice.He turned it over with a spatula and then covered the pot, and then he could cook bacon and rice in the normal way.
Some people in my hometown like to wait until the rice is about to ripen and put green vegetables into it when making bacon and vegetable rice.However, Du Heng prefers to put the vegetables in and cook together at the beginning. Although the cooked vegetables turn yellow, the cooked rice is very delicious.
There are many choices of vegetables in the vegetable rice. Some people also put green peas or use freshly marketed lentils.The taste of bacon and rice cooked by each family is different, but without exception, they are the most suitable for their own taste.
While cooking the vegetable rice, Du Heng cut the lotus root strips he picked up yesterday into oblique pieces.The taste of lotus root strips is crisp and tender, and the pickled lotus root strips made into hot and sour taste are especially suitable for eating in summer, but Jing Nan doesn't like spicy food.Du Heng is going to change it into a sweet and sour vinegar lotus root belt.
Before he makes kimchi in a few days, he can go to Nanshan to pick up some lotus root and soak it in the kimchi jar together.When Fenggui sends someone to pick up the vegetables, they will be able to eat sour and spicy kimchi.
After the oil in the pot was hot, Du Heng threw the shredded ginger and crushed garlic cloves into the pot.While waiting for the ginger and garlic to be fragrant, Du Heng picked up the plate.The white and tender lotus root on the plate looked very cute, Du Heng couldn't help but squeezed one and threw it into his mouth to chew.
Um!Tender!The lotus root belt is tenderer than the lotus root slices, and it is worthy of being the lotus root when I was a child.
Du Heng not only ate by himself, but Xuanyu who happened to walk beside him was also fed by him.Xuanyu was stuffed into his mouth cold, and after chewing, he gave a comment: "Very crispy, and a little sweet."
Xiaoxiao refused, he wants to try it too!He flapped his wings and opened his mouth to beg for food, Du Heng naturally couldn't forget him.Smiling and chewing the lotus root belt, he decided that next time he went to Nanshan, he would help Du Heng get the lotus root belt together!
The ginger and garlic were fully sautéed, and Du Heng poured the lotus root from the plate into the pot.Hearing a thud burst out of the pot, Du Heng hurriedly stir-fried the lotus root strips in the pot. The lotus root strips are too tender and don't need to be stir-fried for a long time.
Du Heng has already prepared the seasoning for sweet and sour lotus root. There is more than half a bowl of seasoning in the small bowl. These seasonings are the result of the combined action of sweet and sour salt and light soy sauce.To make sweet and sour lotus root scallops, the ratio of sugar to vinegar should be large. If you add one spoonful of salt, you need to add two spoonfuls of sugar; if you add three spoonfuls of soy sauce, you need to add five spoonfuls of vinegar.This seasoning is sour and sweet!
The seasonings have long been evenly blended together by Du Heng, and now he just needs to pour these seasonings into the pot along the side of the pot.
As soon as the seasoning is put into the pot, the white lotus root belt is dyed the color of caramel.Jing Nan and the others immediately smelled the sweet and sour smell, Jing Nan sniffled: "Mmm! I like this smell!"
Du Heng was busy thickening the sauce, he smiled and said, "You said you liked it before I fried it? What if it doesn't suit your appetite?"
Jing Nan said affirmatively: "I like the little pickles you made. This taste is very similar to the little pickles. You can't go wrong."
Du Heng sprinkled the thickened gorgon juice into the pot, shoveled it a few shovels, and then sprinkled with chopped green onion, a plate of sweet and sour lotus root with sweet and sour taste came out of the pot.The whole process takes no more than half a cup of tea, and the lotus root belt remains crisp and tender while being coated with a light layer of thickening seasoning.Putting it on the dining table, the sweet and sour smell seduced Jing Nan so much that he couldn't sit still anymore.
Fortunately, Jing Nan and Wen Qiong had already cleaned up the snails, so they could sit at the dining table and taste the crisp and tender lotus root belt.There are many holes in the lotus root belt, these holes are filled with soup, and eating a sweet and sour appetizer is no worse than eating meat dishes.
Xuan Yu picked up a chopstick and fed it to Du Heng: "Try it, if you like this, I will go to Nanshan to pick some more in two days."
Du Heng bit the lotus root belt and smiled and narrowed his eyes: "I'm also thinking about this, pick some more and make pickled lotus root belt. By the way, do we have a kimchi jar at home? It's best to use that kind of clay jar."
Xuanyu thought for a while: "No, why don't we go to Lingxi Town if we have time? If we can't find it, we can ask someone from Treasure Workshop to customize it."
Du Heng hasn't been to Lingxi Town for a long time, he nodded when he heard this: "Okay."
He and Xuanyu really have a tacit understanding. Before he wanted to do something, Xuanyu helped him do it in advance. Du Heng always thought that it was Xuanyu who was considerate and caring.But now he feels that this may be an innate tacit understanding!
The cleaned snails gave up struggling, and they stayed quietly in the Shaw Kei one by one. Their shells were washed clean, and the moss growing on them were washed, leaving only the green shell.Such snails are the fattest and most suitable for stir-frying!
As usual, the onion, ginger, garlic and chili rings are put into the oil pan to saute until fragrant. This time, when the smoke comes out of the pan, Du Heng puts the snails into the pan.
The snail shell is hard, and the sound of colliding with the iron pan is crisp, and there will be a crackling sound when it is stir-fried.Du Heng aggressively called two spoonfuls of white wine along the side of the pot, and the scorching iron pot touched the white wine and immediately burst into flames.
In the flames, Du Heng poured soy sauce, salt and sugar into it calmly. When the alcohol in the liquor was burned, Du Heng also stir-fried the snails and seasonings into one.
The screws couldn't stand the high temperature and scald, and they lost their armor one by one, and many brown snail caps appeared on the spatula.There was a smell of braised sauce in the pot. Du Heng poured half a spoonful of water and covered the pot. When the pot boiled again, he could sprinkle mushroom essence on the pot.
Ever since he had mushroom essence, Du Heng felt that his heroic feeling of sprinkling MSG had returned!Although it was the first time he ate it after he made it.
The time to stir-fry snails does not need to be too long, the whole process can be completed within a cup of tea.When the water in the pot boiled, Du Heng put the snails in a big bowl.The juicy snails exposed the snail meat, which made Jing Nan and the others helpless, who had never eaten snails.
Du Heng made a demonstration. He picked up a snail with chopsticks and blew it, and then sucked it sharply at the head of the snail.With a sound of '哉', the snail meat popped out of the lid.Du Heng is a very picky person. When he eats snails, he only eats a little meat from the head of the snails, and he does not eat the intestines below.
As soon as the teeth were gently closed, Du Heng took away the fattest snail meat, and he put down the shell, only half of the snail intestines remained in the shell.
The snail meat in the mouth is fresh and tender, the sauce is adjusted just right, and the salty freshness is slightly spicy. This level of snail Jingnan can be eaten.Du Heng chewed the snail meat in his mouth. After the snail meat was stir-fried, the meat was plump, tender and elastic, and the teeth were not old at all.
When he was in his hometown, Du Heng didn't like to eat snails outside, because he didn't know where to get the snails outside, and the chefs would always add Chinese prickly ash, aniseed beer, and chili to stew them hard for fear of parasites in them.The snail meat stewed in this way is already old in the mouth, and it tastes like seasoning, and the original deliciousness of the snail meat is gone.
He only loves the snails found in the clear river in his hometown. The snails around Qingming are the fattest time of the year. When they are fried with sauce and fried, he and his family can suck them for a long time.Occasionally, when a few stubborn snails refused to expose their meat for them to taste, Du Heng would resort to the ultimate weapon—the sewing needle.
No matter how stubborn the snail meat is, it will fall into Du Heng's mouth obediently.
Children who are new to eating snails have a sewing needle in hand, but after they are proficient, they will find that the fun of eating snails lies in this one.The snail meat and the juice are sucked into the mouth together, that is beautiful!
Du Heng ate a few in a row, and after he stopped, he could already hear the sound of breathing in various colors on the dining table.After a while, Jing Nan showed the results of the battle. He held up the empty snail shell: "Hey, it's sucked out! It's not bad, it's fun~"
Wen Qiong and Xuan Yu soon
