【Lotus Root Cake】Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy, Salty

Taiyi went out for ten days, and brought back a piece of news, which was actually revealed to him by Master Yuding.

There are countless skilled craftsmen in this world, and those who concentrate on one task and achieve success can have aura under their hands, especially the jade carving masters who have been serving jade wares all year round. They have basically been carving for the national festival since they were born, from young to old, and jade is hard and fragile , which is somewhat similar to the material of lotus root, so Taiyi searched and searched, and finally found an old jade carving master, who can make golden bodies for Ao Bing and Nezha.

"Actually, this lotus pond is a good thing. The lotus pod can be eaten, the lotus root can be sliced ​​into vegetables, and the lotus leaves can be put into a teapot. This morning dew is fresh and beautiful, but it's a pity that neither of you can eat it." Rubbing his stomach, he murmured. Finally, Taiyi smiled at Xiaoouren to amuse himself.

Ao Bing, who has been practicing bigu since birth, has no research on eating, but Nezha is not afraid of his master's provocation.

"You immortals don't have anything to do except melons and vegetables? You should know that there is a sesame seed shop in the south of the city, with minced meat on the top, and the back is crispy and the skin is crispy. There is an old woman in the west of the city who likes to grow apricots. More than a dozen jars of sour apricots can be sold, and that stuff produces body fluids, not only that, but when paired with Chengdong Laoyutou’s shrimp skin ravioli, wow, that’s delicious, isn’t it?”

Knocking on the little lotus root leg for a while, Nezha grinned at his lotus root cake face and said with a sneer: "Master, you have to count the wine that you love the most..."

"Count?" Tai Yi, who licked the corner of his mouth and stared straight at his eyes, hadn't put his head in front of Nezha before the other party turned away with a sneer.

"Tell you that you can't drink, it's better not to say."

"Don't, baby, you can only go to find the master if you tell me, you say yes."

"What are you looking for? Isn't the most important thing for you to take us to find the jade carving master?"

"Working and drinking are the same."

"Don't bully me, I don't know, you must be mistaken for work and drinking!"

Sitting next to Nezha, he watched the two masters and apprentices with steady eyes. When Taiyi was so angry with Nezha, Ao Bing finally couldn't hold back his face and laughed out loud. Due to personal fate, he and Shen Gongbao definitely couldn't have such a happy quarrel.

"Little Ao Bing, the golden body is successful this time, have you thought about the way out?"

Shen Gongbao's theft of the Lingzhu will soon be known by the Heavenly Court. At the beginning when Yuanshi Tianzun left the Hunyuanzhu, the Heavenly Emperor did not allow it. It has been brewed, and I don't know how the Dragon Clan will end up in the end.

"The disciple has already thought about it."

Arching the lotus root arms, bowing a nondescript salute, Ao Bing patted the two lotus root calves and continued.

"Ao Bing should take it for himself, for his merits and demerits, without any complaints."

"You!"

Raising his hand, he slashed at Ao Bing's head. Nezha was about to be laughed at by this idiot. What kind of nerves did he have to train such an idiot.

"Don't forget there is me."

"You are not from my dragon clan."

Clutching his lotus head, Ao Bing was kicked again immediately after muttering this sentence.

"Then you are not from my Chentangguan, what kind of catastrophe are you running here to stop?"

"I can't just watch you die."

"So I, Nezha, can watch my friends die?!"

The two palm-sized little lotus people quarreled and confronted each other for a long time, and Taiyi was tired from the two of them talking, and finally arrived at Yujia Village.

Yujia Village is in the north of Chentangguan, connected to the East China Sea, it is considered a fishing village, and beyond that is the Jialing Road, which crosses the three realms. After Taiyi landed on a flying pig, he knocked on the door with two little lotus roots. After a while the door opened, and Nezha hanging in Taiyi's hand almost collided with the girl who came out of the house, but the little girl seemed blind from birth and didn't see it. shouted happily.

"Grandpa, the Immortal Elder is here."

"Come on, let them in."

Hearing the sound in the house, Ao Bing shook his body, and then was patted by Nezha at the side, the grinning little lotus man now smiled sincerely.

"When you have a body, I'll take you to eat pancakes from the south of the city, apricots from the west of the city, wontons from the east of the city, and sesame candies from Xiaoliushu..."

Nezha, who had no fingers and looked like he was breaking fingers, cheerfully counted the food he knew, and when Taiyi put the two of them down, the old man came out of the room with a sallow complexion, but even so, the other party He still held a carving knife in his hand.

"Master Yu, these are my two juniors."

Taiyi, who finally looked good in front of people, introduced the two of them carefully, and then shook out the two paintings. The appearance and body shape on them were the appearance of Nezha and Ao Bing in the future.

"Isn't this the lotus root to serve?"

Squinting his dry eye sockets like tree bark, Master Yu took a look, and then snorted slightly coldly.

"Since you're here, stay here. The Immortal Chief's promise to me should be fulfilled sooner."

"Of course."

Holding Nezha with one hand and wanting to swear when he jumped up, Taiyi watched the old man leave before chatting with the little girl in the room. Nezha, who was almost broken by Taiyi, slowed down on the table for a while, Then he suddenly said happily.

"Soon I'm going to be as tall as you."

"That portrait doesn't look like a seal."

"Actually, according to my age, I should be your elder brother."

With two arms in his arms, Nezha muttered, and when Taiyi came back, Xiaoou immediately jumped up and gave a hammer, but he was easily caught by the other party.

"What did you promise the old man?"

"It's not too difficult."

Sitting aside and pouring a cup of tea leisurely, Taiyi muttered for a while before saying simply.

It turned out that there is a water ghost in the tributary of Jialing Road that flows through the village. The old man’s granddaughter once fell into the water when she was young. The water ghost wanted to take her life so that she could be reincarnated, but then the little girl escaped for some reason, but the water ghost did not stop there. , but left a mark on the girl's eyes, and will take her life ten years later.

"So she wasn't born blind?"

"Of course not."

After answering Ao Bing, Taiyi glanced at Nezha again, and found that this kid didn't respond at all, he was really a silly magic pill without mercy.
