Fried lotus root slices can be served as both a main dish and a snack, and Ye Feng distinguishes between them by quantity. If you give a small amount, it's called a snack; if you give a large amount, it's called a main dish.

The kitchen helpers were still peeling and slicing the lotus root, which was no longer a problem for them. The snow-white lotus root was quickly sliced ​​into thin slices of about 2 millimeters.

While they were peeling and slicing the meat, Ye Feng also prepared the minced meat.

Pick up a lotus root slice, scoop a spoonful of meat filling onto it with chopsticks, then pick up another lotus root slice and place it on top, pressing gently. Finally, coat it evenly with the batter and put it into a pan of oil heated to 50% of its maximum temperature.

"Ciba ciba..."

Oil heated to 50% will not splatter; only a soft popping sound can be heard. As the oil continues to fry, the lotus root slices in the pan gradually turn golden brown.

Remove the golden-brown lotus root slices from the oil, reheat the oil, and fry them again before plating them.

The lotus root slices themselves have a flavor, and various seasonings were added when mixing them with the minced meat, so they are delicious even when eaten plain. However, Ye Feng's main focus is on extravagance, so he also thoughtfully included a bowl of "Eternal Sun Juice" the size of a quarter of a palm.

"It seems like Junior Uncle likes to add tomato sauce as a condiment when he makes fried food?"

"Huh? Nonsense! What tomato sauce! This is a mountaintop retreat, this is called Eternal Sun Juice! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tell Junior Uncle on you!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. It was Wan Nian Lie Yang Juice. I just ate it yesterday and didn't realize it at the time."

"You'll know how to introduce it to the guests when we get to the private room, right?"

“I understand, I understand. It takes 3,333 years for it to bloom, 3,333 years for it to bear fruit, and another 3,333 years for it to mature. Then, Junior Uncle has to grind it for a whole year to get this small dish of Ten Thousand Years of Blazing Sun Juice.”

"Remember this well, and don't say it wrong! This is what Junior Uncle said he would use to help the younger generation of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect to make a living after he ascends to immortality."

While the kitchen helpers were whispering among themselves, Ye Feng had already packed all the plates and placed them directly into the jade slip.

The next step, naturally, is to make nourishing autumn lotus root juice.

This is even simpler to make. Ye Feng simply took out the washed and chopped lotus root pieces and corn kernels and put them into a blender. Then he took out thick coconut milk and poured it in to start blending. Under the sharp blades of the blender, the lotus root and corn were turned into shredded pieces that could not be shredded any further. After filtering, he poured it directly into a white porcelain bowl, and this coconut milk nourishing autumn lotus root juice was completed.

After receiving the signal, the disciples filed out carrying the dishes.

...

Cultivating immortality knows no time. Especially for immortals like Chunlu and Li Wushuang, a single meditation session might last for a hundred years; they have hardly ever experienced what it means for a day to feel like a year and a day to feel like three autumns. But today, everything has changed.

The Spring Dew Sect Master and Li Wushuang and the others had lost count of how many times they had watched the door open; they were now eagerly anticipating the sound of the door opening.

Looking at her master and uncle, Qingcheng couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Master and uncle, is this food to your liking? We offered you better food in the Immortal Realm, but you wouldn't accept it."

Chunlu coughed lightly, straightened her posture, and looked at Qingcheng with a calm expression, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just really want those dishes to come up quickly so I can find a reason to cause trouble."

Li Wushuang nodded calmly, echoing her senior sister's words.

Qingcheng glanced at the two of them speechlessly, never expecting that her master and uncle could be so shameless.

Suddenly, Li Wushuang and the Chunlu Sect Master's eyes were fixed on the door like torches; they had sensed someone approaching.

"Knock knock knock..."

The knocking sounded, and Li Wushuang said "Come in" almost at the same time. As soon as Ning Shuang entered, she saw a group of people staring at her, and she immediately felt uncomfortable all over.

Fortunately, she had the blessing of the Immaculate Sword Heart at this moment. If an ordinary person were to be stared at by several powerful figures like these for an instant, their legs would probably go weak.

After placing the plates on the table, Ning Shuang said, "Distinguished guests, these are the second and third desserts for today's meal. The second dish is called fried lotus root cakes, made with the spiritual lotus root that Junior Uncle has painstakingly cultivated. This spiritual lotus root is sweet and juicy, and it has a very good effect on relieving dry mouth, thirst, irritability, and excessive internal heat. At the same time, its unique fragrance can also invigorate the spleen and stomach and increase appetite. Most importantly, it also has the effects of weight loss and anti-aging. Eating it regularly can also whiten the skin."

As he introduced the dish, he lifted the lid, and a rich aroma wafted out.

Ning Shuang pointed to the small bowl next to the fried lotus root box and said, "This is even more extraordinary. It is the Ten Thousand Year Blazing Sun Fruit, which is unique to our Shu Mountain Sword Sect. It blooms once every three thousand three hundred and thirty-three years, bears fruit once every three thousand three hundred and thirty-three years, and takes another three thousand three hundred and thirty-three years to mature. Then, Junior Uncle has to grind it for a whole year to get this small dish of Ten Thousand Year Blazing Sun Fruit juice. It's only because our sect's resources are still good that we can maintain such a high level of time acceleration."

Qingcheng looked in the direction Ningshuang was pointing and almost burst out laughing. She'd seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless! It was just a small dish of tomato sauce! So, they were up to their old tricks of deceptive marketing, huh? She'd expose them!

Just as Qingcheng was about to complain, Ningshuang took out another jade slip and said, "Junior Uncle specially instructed before I came that because your sect's Immortal Qingcheng is Junior Uncle's friend, we have been specially given an extra serving of fried lotus root cakes and Ten Thousand Years of Blazing Sun Juice for this table."

Ah, this...

Qingcheng was stunned. The words she was about to say were swallowed back. She thought to herself, "This is bribery! This is blatant bribery! I am the pure, honest, reliable, and incorruptible Qingcheng Immortal! How could I be bribed by a mere plate of fried lotus root cakes?! This is a gross underestimation of my integrity!"

Just as she was about to continue speaking, Ning Shuang added with a sweet smile, "One serving for each person."

As soon as Ning Shuang finished speaking, Qing Cheng felt several approving gazes directed at her, and then several telepathic messages rang in her ears.

"I never imagined that Junior Sister Qingcheng had such a relationship. Whether Senior Sister can get a full meal today depends entirely on Junior Sister's face."

"Not bad, not bad. Junior Sister Qingcheng is indeed good at making friends. She can get such a good thing directly given to her. I am so envious."

"Junior Sister Qingcheng is amazing! She just gave away something so precious without hesitation. And it has to be my Junior Sister Qingcheng! She has so many connections. But you still have to tell me honestly, does this girl's 'little uncle' have feelings for you?"

Qingcheng really wanted to tell these people loudly that this thing was worthless, at most four yuan a pound, and this small dish of stuff was worth at most a few copper coins for an ordinary person.

Hearing the compliments from her senior sisters, Qingcheng felt a little happy, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and admit that it was indeed the Everlasting Sun Juice.

Ning Shuang glanced at Qing Cheng, thinking to herself that she had to keep a close eye on this immortal. If he really had some kind of ambiguous relationship with her junior uncle, she had to report it to her junior uncle Qiu Yu immediately. How could her junior uncle be deceived by an outsider? It had to be handled internally!
