"Just wait a little longer." She stuffed another piece of dried meat into his mouth and ate one herself.
The two of them smelled the aroma of Ma Xiao and chewed the dried meat with relish.
After about ten minutes, the soup in the pot has basically dried up.
Xue Huan opened the lid of the pot, and immediately a rich fragrance accompanied by white steam gushed out.
She asked Pei Ji to turn the heat to high, add homemade MSG, white pepper powder, and pepper salt powder and stir well.
In this way, a pot of delicious Ma Xiao is ready.
Xue Huan took a deep breath. It smelled so good!
She picked up a shrimp, broke off a claw, sucked the soup off the claw, and then bit open the claw, revealing a piece of snow-white meat embedded inside.
She put it into her mouth with difficulty. Ah, what a delicious delicacy!
Pei Ji watched from the side without blinking, "Hanhan, is it cooked?"
"Try it." She peeled the meat from the shrimp tail and fed it to him.
Pei Ji didn't mind her at all and fed her directly with his hands, then opened his mouth and ate the meat.
“It’s cooked!”
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty!"
"Go get the basin."
Pei Ji immediately and happily brought out a large porcelain basin that had been washed long ago. Xue Huan poured the hemp from the big pot into it, filling the entire basin and almost overflowing.
"Okay, take it out. Be careful not to spill it." Xue Huan reminded.
"Sister, let me do it." Xue Yao, who was doing his homework, ran out after smelling the fragrance. Looking at the large bowl of crayfish in Pei Ji's hand, he almost drooled.
"Don't worry, there's another pot. Once this pot of garlic crayfish is out of the pot, I'll let you pick it up." Xue Huan said.
Xue Yao was so happy when he heard this that he simply took over Pei Ji's job of making the fire and stayed in the kitchen to watch over it.
After about twenty minutes, the garlic crayfish came out of the pot with a fragrant smell.
Xue Yao brought out the crayfish with a smile on his face, walking very slowly and paying attention to his feet at all times, for fear of spilling the delicious food in his hands.
Xue Huan quickly cleaned the pot, cooked a pot of spinach and egg soup, and brought it out.
The Ma Xiao is quite spicy and the steamed buns are quite dry. At this time, having a bowl of delicious and light spinach and egg soup is something I would not trade for even if I were given a god!
The soup was ready and the steamed buns were also done. Xue Huan used a rag to pad her hands, picked up the steaming steamer, placed it on the table, opened the lid, and a stream of hot steam mixed with the aroma of wheat rose up.
In the steamer, the snow-white buns are plump and soft when poked with fingers.
She picked up the steamed buns, put them in a basket, and took them out.
We had dinner in the yard, which was spacious and had a nice night breeze.
Two pots of lobster were placed on the bamboo bed, one on the left and one on the right, and arranged in a cross shape with steamed buns and egg drop soup.
Before they started eating, Xue's mother suddenly said, "Wait, Yao'er, go get two bowls."
Xue Yao ran into the kitchen, biting a steamed bun, and brought out two bowls. Xue's mother filled three steamed buns and a bowl with crayfish, and said, "Send it to Doctor He."
Xue Yao worriedly warned, "Mom, don't eat all the crayfish."
Xue's mother laughed and said, "Don't worry."
Xue Yao picked up the basket and ran away like a gust of wind. Xue's mother chased after him and warned him, "Slow down, don't fall."
"Uncle He, this is what my mother asked me to bring!" Xue Yao arrived at Doctor He's house, left the basket, said this, and ran away. "I'll come back to get the bowl tomorrow."
He Shen was stunned. By the time he reacted, the young boy had already run away.
He opened the basket, and found a bowl of steamed buns and a bowl of... shrimp?
He had already had a simple dinner, but when he smelled the aroma of the two bowls of food in front of him, he felt hungry again.
In the Xue family yard.
After Xue Yao came back, he saw that there were not many missing lobsters in the two large pots. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, quickly sat down, and started eating.
The Xue family, who were enjoying the delicious food, had no idea that a huge monster was crawling towards their vegetable garden.
The monster was the one Xue Huan encountered when fishing for lobsters before. It had been dormant at the bottom of the water, but was awakened by the bait soaked in spiritual spring water that Xue Huan threw into the water.
This monster, to be precise, is actually a strange beast called the Mosasaurus, and it has lived for hundreds of years.
This continent originally had spiritual energy, but for some unknown reason, the spiritual energy gradually dried up and disappeared, so that the spiritual beasts and plants in the world could not survive, and large numbers of them died.
Some have tenacious vitality, adapting to the changes between heaven and earth and undergoing mutations, allowing themselves to survive with very little spiritual energy or even without spiritual energy.
This mole beast is a mutated spiritual beast. After hundreds of years of adaptation, its demand for spiritual energy has dropped to an extremely low level.
But it is still needed.
Just a few hundred years ago, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had become so thin that it was almost non-existent, and it had to fall into hibernation to reduce consumption and preserve vitality.
When it was dormant, the place where it was was still a vast lake, and it was just a not very strong monster in the lake.
But when he woke up again, the once big lake had turned into a small pond, and he could reach the edge with just a little kick.
After waking up, its stomach, which had been on strike for hundreds of years, also woke up and urgently needed to replenish food. After eating all the fish and shrimp in the pond, it could no longer find any food and had to come out.
As soon as it came out, it smelled a scent, that was... spiritual energy!
The mole beast quickly crawled towards the direction where the spiritual energy came from.
Even though it carries a turtle shell as big as a round table on its back, its crawling speed is not slow at all.
Soon it arrived at the Xue family's vegetable garden.
The garden is full of spiritual plants full of spiritual energy!
The strange beast couldn't wait to rush in and devour the food, but was stopped by the blood-sucking vines surrounding the vegetable garden.
If it were a mole beast in its prime, it would have been easy to deal with the infancy of the vampire vine. Unfortunately, it has been sleeping and starving for hundreds of years now, and is completely powerless. If it were not inspired by the spiritual energy here, it probably would not have been able to climb over.
Driven by hunger, the mole beast growled, retracted its limbs and tail into its shell, jumped on the spot, stood up its shell, and rolled towards the vegetable garden at an extremely fast speed.
With the help of speed, the rapidly rotating turtle shell broke a hole in the wall of the vampire vine and drilled in.
Unfortunately, before it could be happy, it rolled into a deep ditch. The ditch was three or four meters deep. Xue Huan had people dig it when she first built the vegetable garden to prevent large wild animals from rushing into the garden and causing damage.
After all, the vegetable garden is at the foot of the mountain, and there is no guarantee that there will not be wild boars or something.
At the same time, in order to store water, water was diverted from Shangyang Lake. This way, when watering the vegetable fields, one does not have to run so far, but can draw water from the nearby ditch.
The ditch is semi-circular, enclosing half of the vegetable garden. As for the other side, it directly borders Shangyang Lake.
