Chapter 39: High-end ingredients are often cooked in the simplest way
"Ah, door~Ah, in front of me~Ah, there is a grape tree~Ah, tender~Ah, tender green, just sprouting~A snail is carrying a heavy shell~Climbing up step by step~"
“Chirp~Chirp~”
"Meow meow meow~"
Liang Shixian opened his eyes somewhat dazedly, and heard an unfamiliar nursery rhyme in his ears.
He was still a little confused, but he felt that the voice singing the nursery rhyme was very familiar.
In a trance, he suddenly remembered what happened before, and he woke up instantly. He quickly got up from the ground, without even looking at the current situation clearly, and turned around and ran with Ji Ruo.
"Ji Ruo! How can you still be in the mood to sing! Run! That's the Wind God Falcon!"
In a trance, Liang Shixian caught a glimpse of the huge ice-carved food storage. The countless corpses of monsters inside made Liang Shixian's scalp tingle.
"Hey, squad leader, are you awake?"
Ji Ruo was surprised at first, but before he could say anything, Liang Shixian forcibly dragged him away.
“Run, run!”
Ji Ruo: “?”
He looked back a little embarrassedly at the three wind falcons, one big and two small, and said sheepishly, "Sorry, Auntie, there are Dabao and Erbao, my squad leader still doesn't quite understand the situation, I'll talk to him first..."
Liang Shixian seemed not to have heard clearly, or perhaps his mind was too shaken at the moment, and he was concentrating on pulling Ji Ruo away.
Fengshen Falcon watched the two people gradually moving away with interest, but did not stop them.
Ji Ruo is very good at taking care of children, and during this short period of time they spent together, Fengshen Falcon had a good impression of Ji Ruo because of the sense of being involved.
Besides, her nest was built ten thousand meters in the air, and these two humans had no way of leaving, so she was not worried at all.
"Ahem, squad leader, listen to me, the current situation is a little different from what you think. We are very safe now..." Ji Ruo said carefully. In fact, if he hadn't experienced the current situation himself, he wouldn't believe it if someone else told him.
This is bullshit.
"Safety! Such a big Quetzalcoatl must have grown up a long time ago. We can't stop it! Run quickly! You can do whatever you want at other times, but not now!"
Liang Shixian used all his strength to run for his life, not daring to look back. The previous glance had already left him with enough psychological trauma.
"No, we are now Fengshen Falcon's special chef and tutor, we are safe..."
"What the hell are you talking about! Do you really think you're playing house? Run away!"
The nest of this Wind God Falcon is built ten thousand meters above the ground, and its base is a giant floating stone that is as big as an island.
Because the altitude was too high and the air was extremely thin, Liang Shixian felt dizzy after running for a while.
But his strong desire to survive kept him moving forward.
The wind was howling in the sky, and if the sound was too quiet you couldn't even hear it clearly.
Ji Ruo: “…”
A moment later, Liang Shixian stood at the edge of the nest with a look of despair, looking at the sea of clouds in front of him, and his desire to escape disappeared.
Ji Ruo spread his hands and said, "Well, squad leader, you've seen it too. It's not that I don't want to run away, it's that I can't run away.
We can’t fly, right?”
At this time, the Wind God Falcon, which was still two meters and five meters tall after shrinking in size, flapped its wings and came in front of the two of them, saying, "Chiu~ (Since he is awake, let's start making food.)"
Liang Shixian was facing a powerful enemy and almost snatched the sword from Ji Ruo's back in preparation for a life-and-death fight.
Fortunately, Ji Ruo was quick to hold it down and said to Fengshen Falcon with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Auntie, our craftsmanship will definitely satisfy you."
"Chu~ (Well, let's go.)"
Liang Shixian didn't understand what he said, and looked confused: "Ji, Ji Ruo, what's the situation now?"
"Didn't I tell you that we are safe now? Why are you running?"
Ji Ruo followed Fengshen Falcon, jogging all the way, turned back and waved to Liang Shixian, saying, "Squad leader, don't just stand there, it's time to eat."
Liang Shixian: “???”
…
"Auntie, can we just do these for now? Please help thaw them."
Ji Ruo picked out a Kuiniu that was comparable to the third level of martial arts in the 'freezer', and called Liang Shixian to go with him to choose 'seasonings'.
The two little wind falcons followed Ji Ruo, looking around curiously, which was very cute.
Liang Shixian was dazzled by the countless spiritual plants and precious medicines, and was slightly intoxicated by the dense fragrance - he couldn't even recognize many of them!
Ji Ruo took a fiery red fruit, cut off a small piece with a knife, put it in his mouth, and his face turned red instantly.
"Shhh! Spicy! This thing is so spicy!"
He breathed heavily, stuffed the fruit into the confused Liang Shixian's hand, and said, "Squad leader, take it, this thing can be used as chili."
Maybe it was because Ji Ruo's expression was too exaggerated, or maybe it was something else, the two little Wind God Falcons beside him were laughing so hard that they fell backwards - because they were just born, one of them couldn't stand steadily and fell backwards to the ground.
Little Rosie followed Ji Ruo's example and found a bunch of spiritual plants that looked like grapes but had intricate patterns on the surface of the fruit. She ate one carefully.
"Woo!"
His whole body stiffened and he collapsed to the ground.
Liang Shixian looked at the red fruit in his hand, then looked at the Wind God Falcon that was flapping its wings to 'thaw' the meat, with great confusion in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, picked a grape-like fruit that Rosie had just eaten, gently pinched off a small piece of skin, and carefully put it into his mouth.
The strong numbness made Liang Shixian stiffen slightly. After he came to his senses, he smoothed his tongue and said, "Ji Ruo, this is pepper..."
Obviously, Liang Shixian has also put himself into the role.
…
After a while, the two men, the cat and the two little falcons found enough alternative ingredients, chopped them up and mixed them into seasoning.
On the other side, the Wind God Falcon had already thawed the Kuiniu, and used its unusually sharp wings to cut it into strips according to Ji Ruo's request.
Then simply marinate it.
After everything was ready, Ji Ruo's palms turned red and he began to roast.
High-end ingredients are often cooked using the simplest cooking methods.
His Iron Sand Palm was getting closer and closer to the fourth level, 'Furnace Fire Pure Green'. The temperature was so high that the air around Ji Ruo was filled with intense heat, and his palms were even turning black and red.
No matter how powerful a monster is, it is still just flesh and blood. What's more, this Kuiniu had already died and had been frozen by the Wind God Falcon for so long that Ji Ruo didn't even have to waste any effort to make the strip of meat in his palm start to ooze oil.
The alluring aroma spread. Although Liang Shixian said before that he almost vomited after eating so much meat, Kui beef was more premium! The spiritual plants and precious medicines used as seasonings were also more premium!
He couldn't help drooling again.
The two little Wind God Falcons were in the same situation. They looked at the barbecue in Ji Ruo's hand with longing eyes and their mouths watering.
Fengshen Falcon: "Chi~ (Mom didn't lie to you, did she? It's really fragrant and delicious.)"
“Chiu~Chiu~ (I want to eat!)”
Soon, Ji Ruo grilled a piece of barbecue and handed it to the two little Quetzalcoatl falcons - he still knew the priority and let the children eat first!
Rosie was extremely eager, but after taking a look at the Wind Falcon beside her, she suppressed her desire.
Ji Ruo continued to grill the meat, and during the break, he finally asked the question in his mind: "By the way, Auntie, can you elaborate on the 'always cooperation' you mentioned before?"
