After Zao Niang agreed, Qiu Feng, Pei Zheng and Lian Baiping certainly had no objections. Not to mention that Qiu Feng had eaten fish cooked by Ji Yuan and knew Mr. Ji’s craftsmanship. As Qiu Feng’s Master, of course, had heard about this from his apprentice, and Lian Baiping came prepared. He didn’t expect that even if Mr. Ji accepted the gift, he would also be able to taste the fish cooked by Mr. Ji himself.
“The three of you will be here later, Ji is going to take care of this fish.”
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ji Yuan said this and moved his hand to move several large crystal clear whitebait suspended in the air toward the kitchen.
“Sir, please!” “Sir, please ask for help. Lian Mou can also help with the cooking, the kind that doesn’t require magical powers.”
Lian Baiping was still a little flattered when he spoke, but Ji Yuan just shook his head, said “no need”, told Zao Niang to greet the guests and went into the kitchen alone.
Even though Ji Yuan had already entered the kitchen, Lian Baiping was still stroking his beard and smiling broadly. Everyone could tell that he was in a good mood, but he wouldn’t be out of shape once Ji Yuan left. For Zao Niang, he Still not disrespectful.
“Friend Zao Dao, this honey tea has a pleasant fragrance and a natural charm. It is indeed a good tea. Zao Dao is friendly to tea art!”
Lian Baiping also bowed to Zao Niang, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. Qiu Feng and Pei Zheng knew that the women in Mr. Ji’s courtyard were not ordinary, but there was no such thing as Lian Baiping. Shamelessly, he just nodded to Zao Niang and praised “good tea” before sitting down.
“You don’t need to call me Taoist Zao Daoist, just call me Zao Niang like sir. If you like this tea, you can drink more. Usually, sir will only give one cup to others, so that’s enough for today.”
The three of them saluted and thanked Zao Niang again, and the latter smiled and sat on the empty stone bench, took out a book and started reading, even though there were three immortal monks with good cultivation beside them. There is no sense of tension or restraint at all, it is truly peaceful.
Lian Baiping took a sip of tea and shifted his gaze from Zao Niang to the jujube tree nearby. The true identity of this woman in green clothes was already self-evident.
Over in the kitchen, smoke was already rising from the chimney. It was expected that the earthen stove that had not been used for a long time would be refueled with firewood. The tea that Zao Niang had just made was obviously not made with fresh firewood.
Sometimes cooking is a special pleasure, especially when the ingredients are really good.
Standing in front of the cutting board in the kitchen, Ji Yuan waved his hand, and a whitebait landed on the cutting board. It was still bumping around because the water flow was peeling away from it. It felt uncomfortable and instinctively wanted to jump to a nearby place with thicker water vapor. The place is right next to the pot where the water is gradually boiling.
Ji Yuan smiled, picked up the kitchen knife, and slapped the fish on the head with the back of the knife, knocking the fish unconscious immediately. Then he raised the knife and cut it in Fish head.
“Crunch~”
The sound was like cutting a handful of solid green vegetables. The sections of the fish head and body were actually covered with a layer of white frost, and there was only a spine at the cut, but no internal organs could be seen.
“What a fish! It’s already alive and strong. If I give you another hundred years, Ji won’t do it again.”
Generally speaking, this kind of fish should be the metamorphosis of the essence of water. It usually has a fish shape rather than a real fish. For example, there will be no internal organs and the like. But after a long time, if it is really When it is condensed, it can be regarded as a real living being.
The fish in Ji Yuan’s hand is even more extraordinary. It is not just a water spirit, but a water and wood meeting. Even with Ji Yuan’s current experience, he knows that this is very rare.
There were five fish in total, some big and some small. Ji Yuan didn’t plan to finish them all, so he left two medium-sized fish and cooked the remaining three one by one.
If you want to handle such a precious ingredient, you also need a certain amount of experience and skills, especially Tao Xing Geng. With Ji Yuan’s hands, the fish can be disassembled, cooked, and cooked like a normal fish. There are various flavors, but for another person, it is very likely that the fish will melt directly into the heaven and earth after it dies. Perhaps the simplest way is to boil soup, and you can directly get a pot that looks clean, but in fact the essence retains most of the “water” “.
But it is also interesting here. Because it is not a real living thing, this fish was cut into pieces by fate, but it is still able to move and its vitality is not reduced.
After Ji Yuan finished cooking the three fish, the pot over there was already hot. He poured oil into the pot and placed a whole fish in with a wave of his hand.
“Zi la la…”
With the sound of oil, the fragrance also wafted up. The fish that was still alive and kicking just now finally stopped moving. Ji Yuan took a shovel and stir-fried it. He put in the seasonings on the side one by one based on his feeling. Ordinary sauces There is also the fragrant fresh jujube honey.
Three fish, three different ways of cooking, but they still lacked one condiment, so while the four of them were drinking tea and reading in the courtyard, Ji Yuan’s voice came from the kitchen.
“Mr. Qiu, you can buy some new dried vegetables. The ones at home are several years old.”
Zao Niang is cultivating on the side of her own spiritual roots. With no obvious bottleneck for the time being, her cultivation has naturally made rapid progress. When she came back, Ji Yuan knew that Zao Niang could no longer only move around in the courtyard, but he She obviously hasn’t left the yard once in these years, either because she can’t, or she just doesn’t want to.
So Ji Yuan thought it would be better to ask Qiu Feng to buy it. Anyway, he and Qiu Feng were quite familiar with each other.
After hearing Ji Yuan’s words, Qiu Feng Xiaoxiao was about to respond when Lian Baiping, a long-bearded man on one side, stood up first.
“Mr. Ji, why bother fellow Taoist Qiu Feng? Today, the best dried vegetables for sale in Ning’an County are those of the young people at Dongjiekou, but the best dried vegetables in the entire Ning’an County are in Miaosifangkou. A family named Chen has just opened the jar to dry it, which is the most delicious time.”
Lian Baiping said that he had already drank all the tea in his tea cup, then left his position and walked towards the courtyard gate. As long as Ji Yuan didn’t stop him, he was really going to get some food.
It turned out that the long-bearded man was right in his bet. Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment in the kitchen, but did not say anything not to let him go. Lian Baiping opened the courtyard door without forgetting to say something to the door. A sound.
“Lian will come back as soon as he leaves. Don’t worry, we won’t let that family suffer!”
Lian Baiping walked out of the courtyard gate of Ju’an Pavilion, his footsteps as light as a young boy. There is a saying that it is better to meet than to be famous, which is the true portrayal of Ji Yuan in his heart now.
Ji Yuan, in fact, even though the closed cave of Tianji Pavilion has theoretically no contact with the outside world, we still know some things about him. It is definitely not too much to describe him as enigmatic, even for him. His cultivation is so high that even Tianji Pavilion cannot calculate it.
Even if no one in Tianji Pavilion has ever come into contact with Ji Yuan, the more they understand Ji Yuan, the more everyone in Tianji Pavilion has a deeper respect for Ji Yuan. They even strongly recommended contact with Ji Yuan from the beginning. Later, they became a little worried about gains and losses. I wanted to contact him but didn’t dare to contact him. Until Yuhuai Mountain sent the message, all the monks of a certain seniority in Tianji Pavilion became excited.
Lian Baiping has the qualification to come directly to Yunzhou Nanchui. Not only is he full of courage, but he has also gone through several rounds of competition. How can he not gain a sense of presence when he has this opportunity to spend some time with Ji Yuan?
In Ning’an County, he tried not to use any magical powers. Lian Baiping walked quickly, walked out of Tianniufang, walked through the streets and alleys, and headed straight to Miaosifang. Even young people might not be able to keep up with his pace when running, but he happened to It still seemed unhurried.
The sounds of hawking along the streets in the county are endless. Lian Baiping came to Ning’an County for the first time, but he seemed to know the entire Ning’an County well. He didn’t even ask people how to look at the road. If he walked left or turned right, it was the nearest or The most suitable road.
Soon, the old man with a long beard arrived at the entrance of the temple, entered an alley on the left, and accurately stopped in front of the second house at the entrance of the alley. The whole process started from him. It has been less than half a cup of tea since I left Ju’an Pavilion.
The afternoon sun has just been blocked by some houses on the west side, causing the dried vegetables in Chen’s yard to be covered in shadow.
“Okay, okay, it’s almost done. I can try it tonight.”
“Hey, hey, this big vat of mustard greens only has this small packet in the end, and I have to send some to my sister and the others.”
In the yard, an old woman and a young man were collecting vegetables. The dried vegetables were being dried on two broken bamboo mats, and they were gathering little by little. A faint dry fragrance floated outside the yard.
Lian Baiping’s eyes flashed, and he could already see that the two mats of dried vegetables had a special charm in them. This is a magical feeling. Even ordinary things have something special about them. There are some very simple things, even if the methods are similar, that is, someone can turn decay into magic. There are not only human factors, but also the coincidence of heaven and earth.
“Ahem, this old woman and young man, can you please be more generous with the vegetables in your yard? I will definitely be rewarded generously.”
The two people in the courtyard looked up to the door of the courtyard, and saw an old man in gray with a long beard and a rosy face standing there, looking at them with a smile, or at the dried vegetables on the mat.
This old man looked unusual at first glance. The old woman and the young man in the courtyard looked at each other, and the latter said.
“How much does the old gentleman want?”
“Not too much, not too much, just enough for one dish.”
That’s all? The young man immediately smiled, took a handful of dried vegetables from the pile on the mat, stood up and walked to the courtyard gate.
“Does the old gentleman have something to pack?”
“Just put it in my sleeves. I’ll hold on to the cuffs and I won’t let it go.”
Lian Baiping opened the cuff of his right hand, and the young man said nothing and directly put a handful of dried vegetables into his sleeve.
“Thank you, thank you, this dish is so valuable…”
“Old sir, there’s no need to talk about money. It’s just a handful of dried vegetables. Even if you go to the market to buy it, it’s not even worth a few bucks. Let’s just give it to sir.”
People in Ning’an County have always respected knowledgeable people. The old man in front of him looked like an old scholar.
“Oh, how could this happen…”
Lian Baiping said this with a smile on his face but made no move to take the money. Instead, he came closer and whispered to the young man.
“I know that your brother is in the Dazhen army and has now invaded Zuyue with the army. You must remember what I say next and never forget it!”
The young man was slightly stunned. How did the old man know that his brother was in the army? And invade Zuyue? What’s going on with the military hasn’t been reported here yet.
“Two days later, there will be a letter from your brother. At that time, you must immediately find a literate gentleman to write a letter home, warning your brother that within a year and a half, there will be a household named Zhang on the east coast of Yue. There is a prodigal son, and he will sell a treasure in the family. Your brother will join the army to attack, and he may attack the East China Sea…”
“If you meet that prodigal son of the Zhang family, go to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com and advise him three times not to sell the treasure. If this person refuses to listen to the advice again and again, ask your brother to do everything possible. Whether you borrow money or **** items, you must take the treasure and bring it home!”
The young man was stunned by what the old man in front of him said. Could this be a fortune teller? So I asked subconsciously.
“What kind of baby is it?”
Lian Baiping stroked his beard without saying a word, and then spoke after two breaths.
“That is the word “blessing” written by an expert. If you can get it, you will get it. If you don’t meet it or miss it, don’t force it. Remember it!”
“Okay, I’ve finished my words. Thank you for this handful of dried vegetables and I’ll say goodbye!”
After speaking, Lian Baiping saluted the young man and strode away along the way he came.
In the yard over there, the old woman felt strange when she saw her son and the old man talking for a long time at the gate of the yard.
“Son, what are you talking about?”
“Oh… I was just a fortune teller, talking a lot of nonsense…”
“Why are you still standing there? Come and collect the vegetables. It’s going to rain today.”
“Hey!”
The young man scratched his head and went back to collect dried vegetables with his mother.
