Jiang Lu and the others were already very familiar with the serving routines at the Mountain Top Cottage.
Knowing there wouldn't be any problems with the pre-meal dessert, I felt confident and prepared to indulge myself.
Jiang Lu looked at the delicious-looking dessert in front of him while rubbing his stomach with lingering fear.
The original eight-pack abs have merged into one, becoming bouncy and elastic.
Although a week has passed, the belly has not gone down.
To get rid of this belly, Jiang Lu has been doing push-ups, sit-ups, and squats every day for six consecutive days, and running 1 million meters every day.
But he still underestimated the power of Ye Feng's food.
Having reported to the Heavenly Dao and undergone a series of upgrades, his food was no longer comparable to what it used to be.
This large belly is also one of the reasons why Jiang Lu and the others did not return to the Heavenly Realm.
I had originally considered not coming to the mountain retreat to focus on my weight loss journey.
But after thinking it over carefully, I realized I was overthinking it.
I can't bear to part with it, I absolutely can't!
Although those meals had caused me immense suffering, their unforgettable flavors still made me crave them.
After hesitating for 0.00001 seconds, as if by telepathy, Jiang Lu and the others all came to the Mountain Top Cottage again.
"Alas... Today will surely be another feast, but my stomach is only about 40% empty. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it this time."
Huanfeng laughed and said, "Master, you can come down anytime you want to eat, and I'll invite you to eat there. Also, before you return to the Immortal Realm, I can ask Supreme Master Ye if it would be possible for you to pack a few dishes."
Jiang Lu was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh, "Good lad, I knew I hadn't spoiled you for nothing."
After laughing, the two focused on the delicious food in front of them.
Sourness is always the most appetizing flavor.
Although Ye Feng added a lot of white sugar to this Lemon Barbalua, the large amount of lemons were certainly not just for show.
The sourness of lemons is not diminished by the sweetness of white sugar.
With each bite, it's as if two distinct flavors, one sour and one sweet, are simultaneously dancing in your mouth.
It's like ice and fire happening at the same time... cough cough.
Yes, it is indeed a bit sour.
Jiang Lu thought to himself.
...
...
Dessert is just an appetizer.
Today, Ye Feng's main focus is on the word "sour".
For the second dessert, Ye Feng prepared something that would strike fear into the hearts of countless people on Earth—hawthorn cake.
This was originally a popular northern snack that swept across the country, but due to a certain incident involving someone stepping on it, many diners are now afraid of getting athlete's foot in their mouths.
Since Ye Feng's product is purely "handmade," there's naturally no need to worry about these issues.
Because there were too many pears hanging on the old pear tree, Ye Feng decided to add some crystal pears to the hawthorn cake.
The first step is naturally to wash the hawthorns and remove the pits.
After washing it carefully, use two chopsticks to gently poke the bottom of the hawthorn, and the hawthorn pit will be obediently pushed out.
As for the crystal pear, Ye Feng only removed the core.
Every part of the fruit from the old pear tree is a treasure. Even the pear pit is there to help the old pear tree reproduce; otherwise, even the pear pit could be used directly in cooking.
After cleaning, Ye Feng poured the "Earth Spirit Divine Spring" into it.
"Light the fire at night, medium fire."
At a single command, Qi Ye immediately sprang into action.
"Glug glug..."
Soon, bubbles started to rise from the pot.
Hawthorn flesh naturally contains pectin, which helps the paste solidify, so there's no need to add other additives to achieve this.
After cooking for about half an hour, Ye Feng asked Qi Ye to stop the spell.
After being stewed, the originally colorless and transparent Diling Spring has been dyed pink by hawthorn, which looks quite pleasing.
After pouring the juice into a large pot, the leftover hawthorn flesh and crystal pear flesh should not be wasted.
This is a small task that I don't need to do myself; I can just leave it to Ning Shuang to make into a puree.
As for how to fight, that's naturally a physical fight.
After blending, Ye Feng poured the fruit puree into the large pot containing the juice.
Then, Seven Nights, the tool character, returned to the game.
Heat over medium heat for 30 minutes.
After cooking, Ye Feng took out a strainer.
Filtration is key to the smooth and silky texture of hawthorn cake, and Ye Feng would certainly not be careless about it.
The filtered broth has a sweet and sour aroma.
After adding honey and sugar, Qiye, the tool man, is back online.
Heat and stir continuously until the crystal pear and hawthorn cake clings to the spatula and doesn't drip easily.
Reaching this step means you're 99% complete; all that's left is the final cooling and solidification.
Unmold, cut into pieces, pour in osmanthus honey, and sprinkle with dried osmanthus flowers—all in one go, and a crystal pear and hawthorn cake that looks very high-end is complete.
Looking at the finished crystal pear and hawthorn cake, Ye Feng smiled with satisfaction.
With this magical concoction to aid digestion and cut through the grease, those celestial diners will surely have an appetite to savor the upcoming 'grand' meal.
As for the third dessert, Ye Feng simply made an orange jelly.
How simple is it?
Peel the oranges, remove the pith, add water, rock sugar, and agar-agar powder, boil them, let them cool, and you're done. You don't even need to peel the orange segments.
With these three fruits to aid digestion and cut through the greasiness, and these three desserts to help with digestion, Ye Feng believed that Youxian's stomach would definitely burst tonight.
...
Jiang Lu didn't know if his stomach would rupture tonight; in fact, he hadn't even considered that possibility.
He just felt that his stomach had suddenly become empty.
Then he felt that he could definitely eat every last bit of the food that night, except for the chili peppers.
Oh right, and there's also that saying, "Life is full of unexpected encounters!"
I'll meet you, you old man!
Jiang Lu felt a burning hatred for the thing called enoki mushroom that caused him so much pain.
I chewed that thing a lot before I ate it, but that damn thing came out intact!
I will never eat this rubbish again in my life!
But when Jiang Lu thought about the food's gorgeous appearance and fragrant taste, he felt that his self-control might be lacking.
So he said very firmly to Huanfeng, "My dear grand-disciple, if there is any of that side dish from 'Life is Full of Unexpected Encounters' tonight, you must eat it for me right away. I don't want to eat that anymore; I'm allergic to it."
"ah?"
Huanfeng froze, feeling a bit of a jolt in his head.
My dear advisor, life is full of unexpected encounters, and this isn't just happening with you!
That thing greeted me first thing this morning!
I don't want to see it again either. If I eat it for you, wouldn't that mean we'll meet again somewhere in life?
