Chapter 6
After Ji Mingqing got the storage bag, he started to take stock of the things inside. He first cleared out the stones and dirt inside, then picked out some that were suitable for steaming and put them in the steamer, then took out a few fish that he had caught in the river yesterday and prepared to make a pot of boiled fish to try.
Compared with boiled fish, Ji Mingqing actually wanted to eat pickled fish more, but unfortunately there was no such processed food in the fairy world, and the boiled fish seasoning packets that he could usually buy in the supermarket were even less available.
Ji Mingqing could only think of ways to find alternative materials according to the encyclopedia jade slips of the fairy world. Fortunately, the more basic seasonings were still available, otherwise he would really collapse if he had to start from drying the salt.
It didn't take long for the boiled fish to come out of the pot. After Ji Mingqing finished, he first served himself a small bowl of fairy rice, then sat down and began to savor the meal carefully with a slightly pilgrim attitude.
He ate the grilled fish yesterday so quickly that he didn’t even get to savor it properly. This big bowl of fish today is definitely enough for him!
The strong fragrance was attacking his sense of smell, and Ji Mingqing, who wanted to maintain his posture, simply let go of his hands and feet.
"No one else is watching anyway." Ji Mingqing said to himself, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and started to eat up everything.
Even though there was no mature seasoning packet, Ji Mingqing somehow felt that the boiled fish he made with only these few simple seasonings tasted no less delicious than any other he had eaten before.
Even slightly better!
He didn't think too much about eating grilled fish yesterday, he just remembered that it was delicious. Today he took the time to savor it carefully, and he felt that not only was the fish from the fairyland more plump and tender than the fish from the human world, but the other side dishes were also very superior in terms of taste and texture.
Ji Mingqing even thought it was a pleasant surprise! He had thought it might be mediocre, thinking that as long as it tasted better than the restaurant, he would be satisfied. Unexpectedly, it was even better than anything he had eaten before.
The chef in that restaurant is so poor in his skills that he can make such delicious food taste like that.
Ji Mingqing, who never wastes food, suddenly felt a little disgusted.
After eating a whole pot of boiled fish, Ji Mingqing leaned on the stool and felt drowsy. This life was really too carefree. He could get a salary every day without doing anything, and he didn't have to work overtime or save for a down payment to pay the mortgage.
But I still have to pay Du Tong back.
Thinking of paying back the money, Ji Mingqing shuddered. He quickly stood up and didn't dare to rest anymore. Then he took out the storage bag given to him by the Palace Master and continued to work hard. This time he didn't forget to take out Lu Jiyao's share as well.
This man gets beaten every day, so let's give him something good to eat.
There were clinking sounds coming from the kitchen, and even though the food was not yet cooked, the aroma was already wafting out of the kitchen window.
"It's a pity that I can only enjoy this taste by myself." Ji Mingqing was in a relaxed mood, humming an unknown tune while busy with the things in his hands.
The only step left for the newly made boiled fish was stewing. Ji Mingqing covered the pot and welcomed the first moment of rest today.
He placed the rocking chair he had prepared in the yard outside the kitchen. While waiting, he closed his eyes and lay on the recliner, enjoying this moment of peace.
This time when the sunlight hit his face, he felt an unprecedented calmness. He finally found the direction of his efforts. After having a goal, he felt energetic in everything he did.
He will definitely be able to go back, he must go back!
Although Ji Mingqing's body was resting while lying on the recliner, his brain was still working.
He must make use of this land, but he has not yet figured out how to do it. However, what he can do now is to try growing fairy grass, starting with the easiest one to grow and then gradually increasing the difficulty.
Ji Mingqing had the example of Du Tong in front of him, which made him very confident in himself.
It was almost time, Ji Mingqing got up and returned to the kitchen. When he was about to pack up the boiled fish to take away, he saw a kitten standing on the kitchen table, which had appeared from nowhere.
This kitten is pure white, with rounded ears and thick fur. What's most striking about it is its sharp, inquiring eyes, which make one want to...
"Mimi mimi mimi, where did this cute little cat come from?" Ji Mingqing screamed and pounced on the kitten. No matter where this cat came from, he would take a big breath first!
But the kitten was not so easy to catch. Before Ji Mingqing got close to the table, the cat leaped over. Ji Mingqing didn't even see its movements clearly. There was just a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and the next second he saw it on top of the cabinet opposite the table.
I was careless. The cats in the fairy world are really extraordinary.
Seeing this, Ji Mingqing trotted over to the cabinet, stretched out his arms and coaxed the kitten, "Come down, Mimi. It's so dangerous up there. Come, let me carry you down."
Ji Mingqing spoke in a gentle tone and looked at the little white cat expectantly, but Bai Cangze felt that it was a bit ridiculous at the moment.
He had nothing to do today, so he was inexplicably compelled to come and see the only immortal who had ascended to heaven in a thousand years. He wanted to take a look and leave, but he smelled a familiar scent here, which was ancient and heavy. Just when he wanted to start searching his memories of the past tens of thousands of years.
A pungent smell interrupted his recollection.
This was the smell he hated the most. It had left a deep impression in his memory, and he didn't even want to look back on it.
Just when he was about to leave, the new immortal came in and even said "mi mi mi mi" to him. Did he think he was a cat?
It's really ridiculous!
Bai Cangze stood on the cabinet and frowned, but in Ji Mingqing's eyes, he was just a kitten trapped on the cabinet, now standing there in confusion and at a loss.
Ji Mingqing suddenly felt distressed. He immediately comforted the little white cat, "It's okay, don't be nervous. I'll get a stool and carry you down."
After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Bai Cangze snorted contemptuously. But just as he was about to take a step, he heard a somewhat panicked voice coming from Ji Mingqing's side.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, take a deep breath, be good, I'll pick you up right away." The kitten looked so anxious that it started panting.
Seeing Ji Mingqing running around in a panic with the stool in his hand, Bai Cangze somehow slowed down his pace as he was about to fly down.
Since this person wants to serve me so much, I will give him a chance.
Ji Mingqing placed the stool in front of the cabinet. Before one foot was firmly on the ground, the second foot followed. At the same time, he kept muttering funny words such as "Brother will be here soon" or "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid".
Bai Cangze felt that he was really approachable at this moment. If it were normal, he would have slipped away long ago and not given anyone the chance to get close to him.
I will make an exception for the new immortal this time.
Unexpectedly, when Bai Cangze was feeling proud of his own amiability, he saw Ji Mingqing waving his arms in the air.
"Ahhh..." Ji Mingqing lost his balance on the stool, but at this time he did not forget to say "hello" to the kitten.
"Don't jump down, if you jump you'll fall down like ahhh... brother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mingqing finally lost control of his body balance and fell to the ground.
He thought he was going to get bruised and battered, but the pain he imagined did not come. Ji Mingqing opened his eyes and found that his face was only a finger's distance from the ground, and in front of him was a wall of air, separating him from the hard ground.
Ji Mingqing quickly got up and saw the little white cat that had been on the shelf just now standing on the table, tilting its head and looking at him seriously.
"Oh, thank you Mimi!" Ji Mingqing didn't feel at all that he was being played around by a kitten. Instead, he walked in front of the table with a smile, wanting to reach out and touch the kitten's fur.
"So you're so powerful, much better than me."
Bai Cangze found it ridiculous. The entire fairy world respected him. In terms of strength, he was second to none and no one dared to claim to be first. Why was this guy talking nonsense?
"How about I make you a thank-you meal! Kittens can't eat spicy food, it's bad for their health. I'll make you some fish ball soup!" Ji Mingqing was full of motivation at this moment.
I will practice hard when I get home at night. I can't lose to a kitten. It would be embarrassing to fall down in front of the kitten.
But now, Ji Mingqing first took out the shrimps from the steamer, peeled them, cut the remaining shrimps into small pieces, then sprinkled a thin layer of sauce on them, put them on the small plate he had just bought, and placed it in front of the kitten.
"Eat this first. Wait for me. The fish ball soup will be ready soon."
Bai Cangze looked at the food in front of him, which should have smelled fishy, but after being poured with sauce, it didn't seem to smell so unacceptable. He lowered his head modestly and took a bite.
After seeing the kitten start to eat with its head down, Ji Mingqing sighed that the kittens in the fairy world were so smart, and they ate slowly and methodically, looking so noble.
Better than Lu Jiyao's eating manners.
Fish ball soup is not complicated, but it takes a little time to mince the fish meat into a paste. However, Ji Mingqing is very skillful, and before long, small round balls appeared on the chopping board.
Just when Ji Mingqing was about to put the fish balls into the pot, he looked back at the kitten. The food on the plate in front of the kitten had been eaten up. He turned back and cut each ball into two, rolled it into smaller pieces, and then put it into the pot.
Bai Cangze sat at the table with dignity, thinking that since this person was so eager to worship him, he had no reason to refuse. What's more, there were only a dozen people in the entire fairy world who could recognize him in this form.
He will leave after he finishes eating and no one will know.
The fish ball soup was ready quickly. Ji Mingqing first served a small plate of fish balls and placed it aside to cool, then served another bowl of soup and placed it on the table, and then brought both portions to the little white cat.
"Try it and see if you like it."
The author has something to say:
Bai Cangze: I gave you a machine to offer to me... why did you still fall down!
Ji Mingqing: Blushing quietly
