It was the first time Xiaoxiao saw fresh broad beans. He had eaten the five-spice broad beans his uncle brought back, but those broad beans were so old that he couldn't chew them. Each one was dark red and shrunken. How could they look as good and delicious as the tender and big broad beans in the colander?

Xiaoxiao squatted beside the sieve and chirped from time to time. He looked up at Du Heng. Du Heng explained: "This will be used to make broad beans with scallion oil. It will be tender and fragrant. You will like the taste."

Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes and laughed. He liked watching Du Heng cook. No matter whether it was meat or vegetables, everything he cooked was delicious.

Jing Nan came in carrying a basket on his back: "Du Heng, my plums are ripe."

Hearing the word "plum", Xiaoxiao jumped up immediately, jumping around Jingnan's feet, flapping his wings. Jingnan put down the basket with a smile: "If it were in previous years, Xiaoxiao would have squatted under the tree to watch, but this year with you, he has come to my yard less often."

Xiaoxiao jumped into the basket. Du Heng scanned it with his consciousness and saw a basket full of large purple-red plums. The plums were still covered with fruit powder. Du Heng was a little surprised: "Hey? Are there plums in this season?"

It was only the end of March, how come there were plums? However, Du Heng quickly thought of the heaven-defying formation in Jing Nan's yard. He had eaten snow pears in the middle of winter, so what else could he not do?

Xiaoxiao started to eat plums with a crunching sound. He tilted his head and saw fruit pits on the ground in the yard. Du Heng felt sour just by looking at them. He drooled when he saw Xiaoxiao eating one after another.

Jing Nan said, "This kind of plum is delicious. I'll pick some more for you and Xiaoyu to share. There are still some on the tree at home. You can pick them yourself after you finish eating them."

During this period, Jing Nan provided a lot of spiritual fruits and vegetables. During the time when Du Heng did not grow vegetables, the vegetables were basically provided by Jing Nan.

Du Heng said gratefully: "Thank you Jing Nan."

Jing Nan stretched his neck to look at the basket on the eaves, then turned to the kitchen to look at the sink. Jing Daxianer came out with a frown on his face: "Are we out of meat? Why are all the dishes vegetarian?"

Du Heng smiled and said, "Isn't it soaked in bacon? Then we'll stir-fry the bacon with garlic sprouts. It's time to eat something light in the spring."

Jing Nan frowned even deeper. He looked at Xuan Yu and sighed, "No matter what, we are all carnivores. Is Du Heng planning to treat us all like rabbits?"

Xuan Yu and Du Heng agreed: "The weather is getting hot, so eating something light is good for your health."

Jing Nan shook his head depressedly: "Ah... I can't live like this anymore. After Feng Gui left, I couldn't even get meat to eat. This life is too hard."

Du Heng looked at his colander and saw that it was full of red and green, and there really wasn't much meat in it. Thinking of the big fish and meat during the Chinese New Year, and looking at the porridge and side dishes these days, Du Heng felt that he was a little sorry for Jing Nan.

Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "How about... have a light lunch and I'll make your favorite duck egg and chicken fir soup for dinner?"

Jing Nan looked disappointed: "Am I not even worthy of eating a chicken? What's the harm if you give me a chicken?"

Du Heng scratched his head in a headache. One of the picky eaters in the village left, and the one who stayed didn't look any better. Du Heng felt a little aggrieved: "But... the lunch menu has been decided, and it's too late to make meat dishes now. How about using the braised pork in the refrigerator?"

Jing Nan sighed and turned around: "Du Heng has already started to treat me perfunctorily, hey...what am I doing here? I'd better go back to sleep."

Even braised pork couldn't stop Jing Nan from eating. Du Heng thought about it and realized that he hadn't cooked any new dishes recently. The only meat dishes Jing Nan could eat in the refrigerator were either braised pork or spare ribs. After eating them for several months, there was really nothing new.

Xuan Yu said slowly: "Don't pay attention to him, he will show up naturally when it's time for lunch. Just follow your recipe, he can eat it or not."

Du Heng looked at the big plums in the basket. Jing Nan had brought all the best spiritual fruits to him. Couldn't he make a fresh dish for Jing Nan? Du Heng was going to look for the right ingredients in the refrigerator after lunch. He wanted to make a meat dish suitable for summer, one that was refreshing, non-greasy, fresh, fragrant and appetizing.

The dishes for lunch are all quick and easy to make. Du Heng first cooked broad beans with scallion oil, a dish suitable for all ages. The broad beans with scallion oil are soft, delicious and moderately salty. In his hometown, this dish is basically a must-have cold dish for banquets.

It is actually very simple to make scallion oil broad beans, and every household can do it, but if you want to make it soft and chewy, there are some tips.

When Du Heng used to make broad beans with scallion oil, he always fried them first and then boiled them in water, but the taste of his dishes was always a little different from those bought in the store. Later, Du's father asked for the recipe, and it turned out that broad beans would easily become sticky if they were boiled first and then fried.

Du Heng added two spoonfuls of water to the pot, and then threw a star anise and two spoonfuls of fine salt into the water. Just as Du Heng was about to pour all the broad beans into the water and start cooking, Xiao Xiao jumped heavily onto the stove.

Du Heng and Xiao Xiao looked at each other. Xiao Xiao stretched his neck towards Du Heng, and he seemed to have something in his mouth. Du Heng stretched out his hand: "Hmm? What is it?"

Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, and a cool plum fell into Du Heng's palm. This plum was bigger than the other plums in the basket! It looked like a small apple. Xiaoxiao compared it for a while before picking out the biggest and best-looking plum and giving it to Du Heng. Looking at the plum in her palm, Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and laughed.

Du Heng looked at his palm, and his heart softened. He rubbed Xiaoxiao's head: "Thank you, Xiaoxiao!"

Xiaoxiao must have brought the plums to him because she saw that he was busy cooking and had no time to eat them. Unexpectedly, Du Heng also enjoyed the same treatment as Feng Gui.

Du Heng thought of the big cat in his hometown. Whenever the cat caught a mouse, it would bring it to Du Heng. Every time he saw the mouse brought by the cat, Du Heng was very moved. His current mood subtly overlapped with his mood back then.

Du Heng had no luck to enjoy the mice that the cat brought him. But he could enjoy the plums that Xiaoxiao brought him. He didn't care whether the plums were washed or not, and took a bite directly. There was a crisp sound, and the crisp plums broke in his mouth, and the sweet juice burst out.

Du Heng opened his eyes wide. It was delicious. This was the best plum he had ever tasted. It was sweet and had no residue. The plum skin had no sour taste at all. It beat the expensive and unpalatable plums from his hometown!

The plum flesh is very thick, with a light yellow pit in the middle. The plum flesh and the pit were separated, and Du Heng easily took out the pit.

After finishing a plum in two or three bites, Du Heng felt happy. He put the plum pit beside the pool and thanked Xiaoxiao: "Thank you, Xiaoxiao, the plum is really delicious."

Xiaoxiao laughed even louder, and Du Heng felt much better. Just as he picked up the colander and was about to pour the tender broad beans into the pot, an idea occurred to him. Then he poured most of the broad beans into the pot, leaving only two handfuls of broad beans in the colander.

Du Heng opened the pot lid and let the broad beans in the pot boil, while he found a bamboo stick and a thin string. He tied the thin string to the bamboo stick, and then used the thin bamboo stick to pass through the middle of the tender broad beans. After a while, he got a necklace made of broad beans.

When Wen Qiong entered the room, she happened to see Du Heng placing the broad bean necklace on the steaming rack on the spiritual rice. Wen Qiong asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Du Heng smiled and said, "I made a small snack for Xiaoxiao."

When I was a kid, when it was the season to eat broad beans, if a kid wore a string of steamed broad beans around his neck, his neck would be held high all day. The taste of steamed broad beans is actually far inferior to the taste of other broad beans seasoned with oil and salt, but what you eat is the soft and glutinous taste and the feeling.

Du Heng smiled. At that time, everyone would compare whose broad bean necklace was the longest and biggest. Now I think it was really childish. But I was really happy!

When he saw Xiaoxiao gave him plums, he thought of the broad bean necklace for some reason. In fact, it is not complicated to make a broad bean necklace, but when he was a child, the adults were very busy, and the irritable mothers were too annoyed by trivial matters to treat their children with so much delicate thoughts. A broad bean necklace that takes time to string together and is carefully steamed is precious for this reason, right?

Wen Qiong looked into the pot: "Are you cooking broad beans? Is this what you called... broad beans with scallion oil?"

Du Heng looked at the small pot. The broad beans in the pot had been cooked for half a cup of tea, and some of the soft broad beans had already cracked slightly.

Du Heng took the broad beans out of the water and poured soybean oil into the pot. Next, he had to make scallion oil. The only scallions he prepared were the chives he grew himself.

At this time, he had divided the chives into two halves. Half of the chives would be fried with soybean oil to make scallion oil. These chives did not need to be chopped too finely, and they could be picked out and discarded later. The other half of the chives was chopped into small pieces for later use.

After the oil was hot, he put the shallots into the pan and slowly fried them over medium-low heat. The smell of the shallot oil slowly wafted out, and unlike the original taste of the shallots, the taste of the shallot oil was mellow and not irritating at all.

After Du Heng took the slightly burnt shallots out of the oil pan, he poured the boiled broad beans into the pan. The broad beans had already been boiled, so there was no need to stir them violently. Du Heng stirred it a few times and added a little water. After the water entered the pan, there was a crackling sound in the pan. The broad beans seemed to be unable to bear the high temperature and began to half-undress one by one.

When most of the broad beans in the pot had broken their skins and revealed emerald-colored bean curds, Du Heng added two spoons of salt and one spoon of sugar to the pot. He poured the remaining chopped green onions into the pot and stir-fried them for a while, and a dish of glutinous and emerald green broad beans in scallion oil was ready.

The broad beans are lying on the plate, half shucked from their shells, and the shells are stained with glossy chopped green onions. Smell the onion fragrance and taste the soft, glutinous and sweet taste!

When Du Heng put the plate on the table, Jing Nan was already sitting in his seat with chopsticks in his hand.

Du Heng: ...Aren't you angry? How come Jing Nan calmed down before the food is even ready?

Jing Nan said cheerfully: "Hey, it looks delicious." He took a bite and tasted it. The broad beans melted in his mouth, and the sandy bean paste danced in his mouth along with the seasoning. If he had a sip of wine now, it would taste even better!

Jing Nan put down his chopsticks, humming a little tune as he strolled to the door of Du Heng's refrigerator. Du Heng was confused: "Jing Nan, what do you want to take?"

Jing Nan said, "Let me pour some wine. Xiaoyu, would you like some wine? This dish goes very well with wine."

Xuan Yu shook his head: "No, I have to go to Xishan in the afternoon."

Du Heng said casually: "Yes, Xuan Yu is going out. Don't drink when you go out, and don't go out when you drink."

Jing Nan felt a little regretful, but he quickly changed his target. This time he set his sights on Wen Qiong: "Where's Xiao Qiong? Xiao Qiong, do you want some? Du Heng's wine is very good, how about some?"

Wen Qiong nodded: "Okay, okay!"

152

Du Heng still managed to find a few snacks in his refrigerator, and the spiced peanuts he made for Xiao Xiao came in handy. He cut some more braised meat and put three dishes on the table, while Wen Qiong and Jing Nan toasted their glasses nearby.

Du Heng was extremely helpless: "You two, take it easy, the wine I brewed is strong, don't get drunk."

Xuan Yu is very experienced: "It's okay, if they are drunk, just let them lie on the ground and ignore them."

Fresh garlic sprouts exude a pungent garlic smell, and they are so tender that water oozes out when you pinch them. After being stir-fried, these tender garlic sprouts taste sweet in your mouth, and when fried with bacon, the flavors of spring and winter are perfectly combined.

Du Heng's favorite dish is fried bacon with garlic sprouts in late spring and early summer. The thinly sliced ​​bacon is fried in oil and the fat is released. The slightly curled bacon is wrapped with green garlic sprouts. With just a little salt, Du Heng can eat two bowls of rice after it is fried.

Xuan Yu is now very familiar with Du Heng's steps for stir-frying dishes. Add oil, shredded ginger, meat, cooking wine, stir-fry for a few times, and then pour in the vegetables that need to be stir-fried. It only takes a while to stir-fry. A delicious dish of meat and vegetables is ready.

Du Heng's mouth was watering as he sniffed the garlic sprouts: "What a nice smell! So nice, so nice!"

Xuan Yu picked up a few garlic sprouts and put them into Du Heng's mouth. Du Heng chewed the garlic sprouts despite the heat. The fresh and tender garlic sprouts had no spicy taste and tasted sweet. It was the fragrance in his memory! Du Heng was so moved that he almost cried.

The spiritual rice in the pot is not ready yet, otherwise Du Heng would have served himself a bowl of rice and enjoyed it happily.

Du Heng put the garlic sprouts on the table and boasted, "Try the fried bacon with garlic sprouts. You can't get this dish anywhere else!"

Seeing this dish, Jing Nan thought of a dish Du Heng had made before: "Hmm... does it look like Du Heng's twice-cooked pork?" Wen Qiong thought for a moment and said, "I think it looks like the bracken fried with bacon before."

After they each took a bite of the garlic sprouts and tasted them, they no longer felt that the taste of the three dishes was similar. The garlic sprouts were fresh, crispy and sweet, the bacon fat was a bit chewy, and although the lean meat was a bit dry, the flaws outweighed the advantages, and the combination was full of flavor.

This is indeed a great dish to go with rice! Even Wen Qiong and the others found it delicious while drinking wine.

It is even easier to stir-fry spicy and sour potato shreds. Cut the potato shreds into thin strips and soak them in water to remove the starch. Then put them into the pan and stir-fry. Add salt, chili pepper and balsamic vinegar and stir-fry for a while before serving. Du Heng actually likes to stir-fry the potato shreds until they are softer, so that they are more delicious. But considering Jing Nan and the others, he decided to stir-fry the potato shreds harder so that they have a better taste.

The last thing to go in the pot is the red-leaved amaranth, which is only about ten inches long. Such tender amaranth is perfect for making soup!

Du Heng added a spoonful of water to the pot, and then smashed a few cloves of fresh garlic into it. The tender white cloves had not yet grown, and the garlic flesh and skin had not been separated. They broke into pieces with a single tap of the side of a kitchen knife. After being put into the pot, they sank quietly to the bottom of the pot, waiting for the amaranth to arrive.

Amaranth is a vegetable that fades easily, so demon cultivators extract the juice from it to make dye.

Many people would be shocked when seeing stir-fried amaranth, as the red soup looks like blood, which makes them feel horrified. However, Du Heng likes to eat amaranth soup with rice, and the amaranth soup with proper seasoning is particularly delicious.

Amaranth needs to be stewed until it is soft, and garlic must be added, otherwise it will taste earthy. Du Heng doesn't like to eat amaranth outside. First, in order to pursue speed, the chefs outside will stir-fry the amaranth and serve it, which is hard to chew. Second, amaranth cannot be stir-fried, and it needs to be stewed to stew out its freshness.

After the amaranth was put into the pot, the soup in the pot turned bright red. Du Heng covered the lid and simmered it for half a cup of tea before the amaranth soup was ready.

The spiritual rice in the pot was cooked. After opening the lid, Du Heng first picked up the yellow broad bean necklace and put it on a clean plate. Xuan Yu looked at the necklace and asked slowly, "What is this?"

Du Heng explained once again: "It's a broad bean necklace, for Xiaoxiao to wear and play with while eating." The steamed broad beans can be pulled off the string and thrown into the mouth. If you play with them sparingly, you can play with a necklace for an entire afternoon!

Hearing that there was something fun, Xiaoxiao immediately flew to the stove. He tilted his neck and looked at the broad bean necklace on the plate: "Chiu?"

Du Heng put the necklace around Xiaoxiao's neck with a smile: "This, you can pull it off and eat it when you are hungry in the afternoon. You can eat it while playing."

Xiaoxiao looked down at the broad bean necklace that was deeply embedded in his down. He twisted his neck and happily accepted this special gift.

After the amaranth soup was ready, Du Heng was finally able to sit down and eat. The dishes on the table looked rather plain, but to be honest, Du Heng preferred this kind of home-cooked food to a table full of fish and meat.

Father Du often told Du Heng that Grandpa Du said that ordinary people are happy if they can have coarse clothes and food. Du Heng didn't understand why they should eat simple meals when they can have delicious food. But now he thinks that the taste of home and the philosophy of life are contained in this porridge and rice, right?

Life is like this, simple and plain. Only if you can endure loneliness can you withstand temptation.

Xiaoxiao saw Du Heng mixing rice with amaranth soup, so he mixed a bowl to eat. To be honest, he felt that the taste of amaranth soup was far inferior to other soups made by Du Heng. Du Heng's previous fish head soup, pork tripe and chicken soup, chicken mushroom and duck egg soup... Any of the soups he made tasted better than this bowl of soup.

Xiaoxiao wanted to be picky about food, but when he saw Du Heng and Xuan Yu eating happily, he drank the bowl of vegetarian soup obediently. Strangely enough, after the amaranth soup went into his stomach, he felt extremely at ease.

When Du Heng was in his hometown, he discovered an interesting pattern: after eating at home for a while, he would think the food outside tasted better. Even if his parents ran a private restaurant, he would still think the food outside tasted delicious.

But after eating out for a few days in a row, he will think the food at home is better.

Jing Nan's cheeks were flushed. He was holding a wine glass and looking at the two chickens foraging in the yard with blurry eyes. Du Heng looked up and saw Jing Nan looking thoughtful. He poked Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu, look at Jing Nan, is he drunk?"

Xuan Yu frowned slightly: "Jing Nan and Feng Gui have a good alcohol tolerance, so this little bit of wine won't make them drunk."

Jing Nan turned around and looked at Du Heng, who actually nodded in agreement: "Well, I'm sober, not drunk at all."

Du Heng's mouth twitched: "Take it easy, I can't stop you if you're drunk."

Jing Nan smiled softly, and suddenly said to Du Heng: "Du Heng, you haven't been to the south of Nanshan, right?" Du Heng was stunned: "Huh? I haven't been there."

Jing Nan took a sip of wine and said, "There is a lake to the south of Nanshan. There have been a lot of wild ducks laying eggs by the lake these days. Do you want to go and see?"

Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu. Did Jing Nan drink too much? He had told Du Heng that he couldn't cross the Stone River at the foot of Nanshan Mountain before he formed a pill. Now he wanted to take Du Heng to the lake on the other side of Nanshan Mountain to watch ducks lay eggs? Du Heng couldn't keep up with Jing Nan's thoughts. He was a little confused.

Xuan Yu said softly to Du Heng: "Go if you want to. It won't be a problem if Jing Nan accompanies you."

Jing Nan smiled and said, "Then let's go to Nanshan to pick up duck eggs tomorrow morning. It's a happy decision."

After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then put down the cup and staggered towards the living room.

Du Heng chased after him and said, "Jingnan, you didn't have lunch, where are you going?"

Jing Nan's voice came: "I'm drunk, I'm going to take a nap. Xiaoyu, I'll borrow your bed downstairs to lie down for a while."

Du Heng asked Xuan Yu with some concern: "Is Jing Nan okay?"

Xuan Yu said: "It's okay, I guess today's dishes are not to his liking."

Du Heng ate his meal in depression. Jing Nan was too picky about food. It was really a headache.

At this time, Wen Qiong fell on the table with a plop. Du Heng almost choked on his meal card. He was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "What's wrong? What's going on?"

Wen Qiong blushed, she fell on the table and smacked her lips. Xuan Yu's spiritual energy circulated in Wen Qiong's body, and then he looked a little strange: "Drunk."

This guy is really drunk. Du Heng thought Wen Qiong didn't drink much, right? Unexpectedly, Wen Qiong's alcohol tolerance is about the same as his. Why is he trying to show off when he can't drink?

Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu holding Wen Qiong and leaving. He asked Xiao Xiao in a depressed tone, "Xiao Xiao, is today's meal really not delicious?"

Xiaoxiao burped: "Chichi~" It's delicious, both the meat and vegetable dishes cooked by Du Heng are delicious!

No one knew how long Wen Qiong would be drunk, so Xuan Yu handed her over to the care of Feng Gui's female historian, so that Du Heng didn't have to run back and forth.

Xuan Yu packed up his things and stood at the gate of the courtyard and said to Du Heng: "If I come back late tonight, don't wait for me."

Du Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me. Be careful on the way, and don't come back if it's too late."

Xuan Yu smiled at Du Heng, opened his umbrella and walked towards the West Mountain. To be honest, Du Heng felt uncomfortable watching Xuan Yu's back as he left.

Xuan Yu had been to Xishan before to repair the formation for Lao Dao. Although Du Heng was also worried at that time, his emotions were much calmer than this time.

Watching Xuan Yu's back disappearing behind Jing Nan's house, Du Heng felt like a rope was tightening in his heart. Before Xuan Yu left the village, Du Heng was already worried about him. He was worried that Xuan Yu would encounter danger on the road and that he would not be able to travel back and forth safely. Although he knew that his worries were unnecessary, he still couldn't control his thoughts.

It must be the damn spring that made him daydream. Instead of thinking about it, he should focus on cultivating vegetables! He could also check the refrigerator to see if there were any suitable ingredients to make something light and delicious.

153

As a result, Du Heng actually found two ducks and two geese. The storage bag was really too big. When Du Heng was making roast duck before, he thought he had used up all the ducks. Unexpectedly, there were not only ducks left in the storage bag, but also geese.

Du Heng placed the ducks and geese in a wooden basin. The four naked poultry stretched their long necks as if they were dying with their eyes open.

Xiaoxiao turned around the wooden basin for a few times, then looked up at Du Heng: "Chirp, chirp?" Are you going to make roast duck? He likes roast duck!

Du Heng smiled and said, "No, let's eat something lighter this time. We'll eat salted duck and salted goose."

Compared to roast duck, refreshing salted duck and salted goose are more suitable for eating in hot weather. The crispy skin and tender meat of salted duck are fresh and delicious, and do not need too much seasoning. Based on Du Heng's understanding of Jing Nan, he should like this taste.

Xiaoxiao had never eaten salted duck, so he couldn't imagine what it tasted like. He lowered his head, ripped off a few broad beans from his necklace, chewed them, and then squatted down beside the wooden basin, watching Du Heng work.

Du Heng soaked the duck and goose in clean water. While scrubbing the duck, he said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, do you know the difference between a duck and a goose?"

Xiaoxiao shook his head and Du Heng said with a smile: "Ducks have flat beaks, geese have round beaks, look."

Du Heng stretched out his hands, pinched the duck's head and the goose's head, and held them in front of Xiaoxiao, who stared at the two heads. Indeed, as Du Heng said, the duck's mouth was flat, while the goose's mouth was rounder than the duck's, and there was a round bulge on the goose's head.

Du Heng removed the hair and excess fat from the ingredients, and cut off their butts. In the cooked food store in his hometown, in order to maintain the integrity of the ingredients, the butts are often put into the pot with the ingredients. But after the stewing is completed, the owner of the stewed food will cut off the butts and put them aside.

Some people would go to the prepared food store to buy the butts of chickens, ducks and geese to feed their dogs. When Du Heng bought prepared food in his hometown, he would ask the store owner for two more duck butts to feed his own dogs or his neighbors' dogs.

Originally, he was going to save the duck and goose butts for Xiao Wonton's meal, but he discovered that Xiao Wonton seemed to be an unusual dog. As a dog, it was picky about food. Du Heng threw a duck butt to it before, and it sniffed it and turned away.

Later, Xuan Yu told him that Xiao Wonton had the blood of a spirit beast, and it didn't like to eat the dirty parts of animals. From then on, Du Heng was more careful when he occasionally fed Xiao Wonton, after all, he didn't want to feed it anymore after being told by Xuan Yu.

After cleaning the ingredients, Du Heng moved the wooden basin to the terrace. The ingredients needed to be soaked for half an hour and then dried, then smeared with fried pepper salt and marinated for an hour before being put into the brine pot.

The formation on the terrace can shorten the time. While the soaking time is going on, Du Heng is going to fry the pepper salt.

Du Heng took out a bowl of salt and estimated that it should be more than a pound. The ducks and geese in the cultivation world are bigger than those in his hometown. It takes three taels of salt to pickle a duck in his hometown. The amount of salt needed in the demon world should be increased.

Du Heng thought of Jing Nan's Tianhu scale, and he thought it would be more reliable to use the Tianhu scale to weigh the salt. So he put down the salt in his hand and went to the room downstairs. He didn't know how drunk Jing Nan was, and he didn't know if he could get the Tianhu scale smoothly. He planned to take a look, and if Jing Nan fell asleep, he would not disturb him.

Du Heng gently pushed the door open, but somehow it was a little hard to open, as if something was stuck in the door. He peeked through the crack in the door, but he saw nothing but white.

The room seemed to be filled with silver-white fluff. Du Heng reached out and touched it. He felt the soft and smooth fur.

Just when Du Heng was full of doubts, the fur in front of him suddenly moved. Du Heng felt that the fur in front of him slid to the side like flowing water, and then the door opened.

Du Heng pushed the door open but stood there, not daring to go in. He stared at the huge beast in the room. He saw a pure white animal sleeping with its head down, and the white hair that was flowing just now was the hair on its tail.

Du Heng stood at the door of the room and felt like he had opened the door to another time and space. He almost didn't recognize his own home. He stood at the door in a daze and forgot what he was doing there.

The animal in front of him was tall and graceful. Du Heng could only recognize its outline from its heaving belly. The animal's head was facing into the room, and its tail was wrapped around it. Du Heng had never seen such a beautiful animal before, and he smelled a faint herbal scent on it.

This is Jing Nan's smell. Jing Nan has been dealing with herbs for many years, and his smell is very elegant. This animal is Jing Nan!

He saw Jing Nan's demon form! It was unexpected but reasonable. Jing Nan was a demon cultivator, so it was normal for him to have a demon form! Seeing Jing Nan like this, Du Heng was shocked and speechless. He had never seen such a beautiful demon form before, and he couldn't help but stare at it.

Xiaoxiao flapped his wings and flew away from Du Heng into the room. Du Heng suddenly came to his senses and saw Xiaoxiao dived into Jingnan's belly and slid down along the fur on his belly. Xiaoxiao was having a lot of fun like he was on a slide, and the room was filled with his laughter.

At this time, a huge white object stretched out from Du Heng's side. Du Heng looked closely and found that it was Jing Nan's tail. Jing Nan's tail was furry and fluffy, more luxurious than any tail Du Heng had ever seen. The fur on the tail was shining with silver light! When the tail was waved, it sprinkled a piece of light, which was really beautiful.

Jing Nan opened his eyes, his eyes were brilliant gold. Du Heng saw a huge fox head raised up, and his eyes could not help but follow Jing Nan's eyes.

Jing Nan yawned and stretched, his tail brushing gently across Du Heng's face. The silvery white fur was fragrant and soft, and it softened his heart when it rubbed against his face. Du Heng reached out and touched Jing Nan's tail. If it weren't for the last bit of rationality, he really wanted to roll into the fur mountain!

At this time, Du Heng found something wrong. Jing Nan seemed to have too many tails. Du Heng counted them. If he counted correctly, Jing Nan had six tails?

At this time, a silvery light flashed in the room, and Jing Nan lay lazily on the big bed. He held Xiaoxiao in one hand and supported his chin with the other hand: "It's rare for me to take a nap, and you are too noisy."

He laughed and rubbed against Jing Nan's arms, as if he was expecting Jing Nan to quickly transform into a monster so that he could play on the slide a few more times.

Jing Nan's voice was a little hoarse. He looked indescribably charming lying on the bed with disheveled hair. He raised his eyelids and looked at Du Heng with a half-smile: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Du Heng woke up as if from a dream: "Oh, I need help. Can I borrow Tianhu Express for a while?"

Jing Nan raised his hand, and a black Sky Fox Scale flew out from his sleeve. The Sky Fox Scale landed steadily in Du Heng's hand, and Du Heng said thank you.

Just as Du Heng was about to leave, Jing Nan spoke up: "Du Heng, have you seen my demon form?"

Du Heng stood still suddenly, and he thought of what Xuan Yu had said to him. You can't just look at the monsters of the monster race casually, if you see it, you have to take responsibility! Du Heng struggled for a while and finally prepared to confess: "Yes... I saw it."

Jing Nan sat on the bed, hugged Xiaoxiao and asked Du Heng with narrowed eyes: "Don't you have anything you want to ask? Nothing you want to tell me? Aren't you curious about me at all?"

Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "Of course I am curious. I have never seen such a magnificent and graceful monster. My eyes are wide open. But I still want to apologize to you. I should have knocked when I entered. No matter what the reason, I should have gotten your permission before entering."

Jing Nan laughed out loud: "Thank you, I am quite charming to receive your evaluation. As you can see, I am from the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan."

Du Heng's mouth widened in shock: "Nine-tailed fox?" The most advanced fox in the legend? Nine-tailed fox?

Jing Nan waved at Du Heng, and Du Heng actually walked up to Jing Nan. Jing Nan said lazily, "Do you still want to see my demon form?"

Du Heng nodded and then felt something was wrong: "Of course I thought about it, but whether or not to let me see the monster form should be decided by you. Jing Nan, you are amazing, you are actually the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

Jing Nan smiled, and a fluffy tail appeared behind him. He felt a little regretful: "But now I only have Liuwei, and I can't let you see my best look. I'm sorry."

What is there to be sorry about? Du Heng stared at the ball of tail, and his claws couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Jing Nan's tail was very flexible. He sat in the tail, which supported his body like a cushion. The long tail swayed casually on the bed sheet, and Du Heng's eyes were attracted by it.

Du Heng originally thought that Feng Gui was the most beautiful person in the village. Feng Gui's domineering and charming appearance were obvious to all, but Jing Nan now looked extremely charming, worthy of being the most advanced vixen!

Just as Du Heng was about to reach out and touch Jing Nan's tail, Xiao Wonton stood at the door and whispered a threat. Du Heng shyly withdrew his hand. When would he change his habit of wanting to touch anything furry?

Jing Nan sighed, he retracted his tail and lazily fell on the bed: "Okay, I got the Sky Fox Scale. You saw my demon form today, you have to make something delicious in exchange, right?"

Du Heng smiled and said, "Today I will make salted duck and salted goose. I guarantee you will like the taste."

Jing Nan looked at the wonton, touched his lips and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

Du Heng waved his hand: "Xiaoxiao, we are going out, don't disturb Jingnan's sleep."

Xiaoxiao jumped off the bed, and soon Jingnan was the only one left in the room. Jingnan leaned on the gorgeous tail, yawned and said depressedly: "You have no conscience, you didn't even ask me why I only have six tails. I used to be a little curious, but now I don't even ask."

After a while, Jing Nan complained to the air: "And you, if you can hide it on the first day, how can you hide it on the fifteenth? It's not good to be on guard against it. Haven't you heard the saying? It's better to open it than to block it."

Xuan Yu's voice came from the room, but after looking around, there was no trace of Xuan Yu: "I don't want him to remember those things, even if it's one day later. Jing Nan, those memories are too painful for him."

The author has something to say: My late grandfather often told my cat dad that the life of ordinary people is to wear coarse cloth and eat vegetables and be full. I didn't understand it very well before, but now I understand it more and more. No matter how delicious the food outside is, I feel uneasy after eating it. At home, even if I eat soup and rice, my stomach feels comfortable after eating it.

When I was little, I envied other kids who had broad bean necklaces around their necks, but my parents were too busy at home, so I never got one throughout my childhood. _(:з」∠)_

The recipe for scallion oil broad beans is feasible. I have tried it and it turns out quite delicious, similar to the taste of the ones in the hotel. Remember to sprinkle a little sugar when making it, the broad beans will be more fresh after adding sugar.

I like amaranth very much, but I really can't eat the amaranth cooked outside. The amaranth served after stir-frying doesn't taste like grass.
