Du Heng handed two more strings to Xiaoyao Jian: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, my Xiaoxiao is a bit lively, please don't be so formal."
Xiaoyao Jian touched Xiaoxiao and said, "You're so cute. Do you want more food? I'll feed you." Xiaoxiao's head immediately left an afterimage.
Feng Gui and the others took the hot grilled lamb skewers. After one bite, Feng Daxian'er began to sweat on his forehead. "It's delicious. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I think grilled skewers taste better in cold weather."
Du Heng smiled and said, "You can eat grilled skewers at any time, but it's most fun when there are many people. Xiaoyu, come and have a taste. After I finish these lamb skewers, I'll start grilling other ones."
Xuan Yu wiped his hands and came over to take the skewers from Du Heng. He sniffed the skewers and said, "This tastes different from the skewers I had last time."
Du Heng nodded: "We made the barbecue ingredients above later. This is the first time we use it. Try it and see if you like it."
Du Heng used dozens of ingredients in the stir-fry, including soybean powder, sesame powder, and cashew nut powder. The seasoning itself is salty, and it turns grayish yellow when sprinkled on the meat. After being soaked in oil, the color of the seasoning becomes more vivid. For those who don't like spicy food, it's delicious to eat the meat skewers sprinkled with seasoning directly. If you like spicy food, sprinkle a handful of chili powder on it, and the taste will be amazing.
Xiaoyao Jian had never eaten such tender mutton before. He felt that the mutton came alive in his mouth. Eating a skewer of hot and spicy skewers in the snow made him feel alive.
Seeing that Xiaoyao Sword had successfully rubbed the mutton skewers, the other sword immortals in the training field could no longer hold on. Du Heng heard someone ask, "Junior Brother Du, do you have any more mutton skewers?"
Du Heng narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, yes! If you don't mind, come and try it!"
Feng Gui whispered to Jing Nan, "Du Heng must be really holding it in." Jing Nan responded in a low voice, "He's been drinking porridge for three days, isn't that really holding it in?"
The sword immortals were all honest people. They came over and took a skewer of lamb and refused to leave after finishing it. Some of them rubbed their hands and some licked the skewers: "Junior Brother Du, is there anything you can help me with?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "If you are free, you can help me with the skewers. I may not be able to handle it by myself. By the way, Xiaoyu, don't we have two extra grills at home? Bring them out and let you do it yourself."
Two grills suddenly appeared on the snow in front of the dining hall, and the sword immortals of Qingfeng Mingyue skewered the meat and grilled it in a very professional manner. Soon, more and more monks came to the door of the dining hall, and some sword immortals even made their own stoves based on the structure of the stove.
Du Heng generously placed his barbecue seasonings, pepper powder and soybean oil, under the eaves, in addition to fresh vegetables, the monks could help themselves. As for meat, the large pot of meat Du Heng prepared at the beginning was not enough, so Xuan Yu directly threw out three spirit sheep and let the sword immortals use their own skills.
The grill in front of Du Heng was filled with skewers of meat, including bright red beef, tender lamb, and the most numerous of them were skewers of yellow-white chicken skin.
To be honest, these chicken skins were the ingredients of the Brahma Chicken for Du Heng's first meal in Fei Xiuzhen World. He had accumulated these plump chicken skins for a long time. The chicken skins were cut into rectangular two-inch long strips and then evenly strung on bamboo sticks. There were four or five chicken skins on each bamboo stick. Those who didn't know would think that Du Heng was roasting tofu skin.
As the chicken skin was roasted by the charcoal fire, the loose skin became tight. The fat under the chicken skin slowly seeped out and fell onto the charcoal fire, and a bright flame came out of the charcoal fire. A large amount of green smoke with the aroma of fat and barbecue materials drifted out. Half of the monks in Shenxiu Peak were so greedy that they couldn't sit still!
Baking chicken skin requires patience. You need to turn it over slowly and bake it over low heat. During the turning process, you need to evenly and finely brush it with soybean oil and sprinkle it with barbecue seasoning. The yellow-white chicken skin squeaks, and the slightly yellow barbecue seasoning sticks to the chicken skin, making you drool.
When the chicken skin is baked to a crispy crust, the skin is ready. Du Heng handed a bunch to Xiao Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, try it and see if it's cooked."
Xiaoxiao's two big eyes sparkled. He grabbed the bamboo stick with his claws, then tilted his head and skillfully rubbed a mouthful of chicken skin. The chicken skin made a crisp sound in his mouth, and his eyes brightened: "Chirp!"
It's delicious! Crispy and crumbly, fragrant but not mushy, the taste is really great, just like the oil residue that Xiaoxiao secretly ate when Du Heng was boiling oil. But it tastes even better than the oil residue, the oil in the chicken skin is roasted out, and it doesn't feel greasy when you eat it. And the place where the chicken skin is stacked together has a glutinous texture, Xiaoxiao ate a bunch of chicken skin in no time.
Du Heng greeted Xuan Yu and the others confidently: "Xiao Yu, come and try the chicken skin."
Feng Gui and the others praised the chicken skin highly after tasting it, and Xuan Yu also thought the chicken skin tasted great. Xuan Yu pinched a few strings of chicken skin and fed them to Du Heng: "You've been busy for so long, take a break, I'll help you grill it."
Du Heng smiled and stood beside him with the skewers in his hand: "Well! Then I'll trouble our Xiaoyu."
The chicken skin was crispy, just like the taste in memory. Du Heng wanted to eat a few more skewers, but he found that the chicken skin that had just been roasted was gone.
The monks who were grilling chicken skewers nearby each had a skewer of chicken skin in their hands. When they saw Du Heng's confused face, they burst into laughter: "It's just that Junior Brother Du's cooking skills are too good. No matter how hard we grill, we can't get the same taste as you do."
Du Heng also laughed: "It's okay, there's plenty of chicken skin. Just grill it if you like it." And chicken skin is not Du Heng's favorite barbecue. I'm afraid that few people in this group can accept his favorite thing.
Xuan Yu seemed to have seen through Du Heng's thoughts. Under the gaze of the monks, he took out a handful of pickled meat skewers from a basket on the side. However, these skewers were different from the previous ones. These skewers were triangular in shape and had bones in the middle.
Seeing this shape, the sword practitioners hesitated for a moment. Isn’t this... a chicken butt?
Xuan Yu put the chicken butt on the table, which was a delicacy that Du Heng had kept for a long time. When he cooked chicken before, he would carefully cut off the chicken butt, remove the yellow glands on it, clean it and put it in the refrigerator. He had worked hard to save the chicken butt for a year, just for today's barbecue.
Watching the chicken butt sizzling with oil on the charcoal fire, Du Heng was so moved that he almost cried.
Jing Nan has a natural liking for chickens. He took a look at it and said with a smile: "You know how to eat it. This piece of meat tastes really good." Du Heng nodded hurriedly: "In our hometown, this piece of meat on the chicken butt is called fragrant meat. Only people who know how to eat it like it."
Jing Nan gave a thumbs up: "Okay."
The chicken butt dissuaded many sword immortals from grilling other ingredients, and they preferred grilling vegetables to meat, which would either be burnt or raw. One sword immortal successfully grilled a delicious eggplant, and the sword immortals all rushed to grill the eggplant on the charcoal fire.
As long as the vegetarian dishes are grilled and sprinkled with Du Heng's barbecue sauce, they are delicious even if they are still raw! Xiaoxiao is always trying to find a way to get the most successful skewers after he sees the dishes on the stove are done. Feng Gui no longer has any temper with Xiaoxiao.
Xuan Yu took a stool and asked Du Heng to sit next to him. It was almost midnight and the snow was falling even harder. The sword immortals helped to set up a barrier on the square of the dining hall. The barrier had a golden aura, and white snowflakes would melt away when they fell on it.
Du Heng looked up at the barrier, listening to the laughter of the sword immortals, the smile on his face never stopped: "Shenxu Palace is a really good place."
Xuan Yu, who was grilling a chicken butt for Du Heng, heard this and responded, "Yes, the monks here are all very nice."
A cultivator has a pure heart and few desires, and is devoted to the Tao with no other distractions in his mind. How bad can a cultivator who can practice the righteous way be? Except for the bullying of a few servants at the beginning, Xuan Yu and his companions in Shenxu Palace felt warmth at other times.
The chicken butts are finally baked! Five chicken butts, still dripping with oil, are strung on a skewer in an orderly manner with the triangles facing upwards. You can eat a whole baked chicken butt in one bite.
There is only one bone in the middle of the chicken butt, and there are fat and lean meat around the bone. The crispy roasted skin is wrapped with fresh fat and plump meat. After a period of marinating and seasoning with barbecue seasoning, the flavor of the seasoning has already penetrated into the inside. One bite is full of oil, and the mouth and heart are extremely satisfied.
Du Heng finally got rid of the pain he had been holding back for three days. He chewed the delicious meat in his mouth, then spat out the shiny bones.
It’s delicious. Anyone who has tasted the fragrant meat will love it!
Du Heng ate two pieces of delicious meat in one go. Just when he was enjoying the meal, he suddenly felt a burning gaze staring at him. He looked up and saw Xuan Yu looking at him with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
Du Heng smiled and nodded: "It's delicious, Xiaoyu, do you want to try it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Nan laughed. He saw Jing Daxian holding two skewers of chicken butts in each hand, chewing them happily. Jing Nan said, "Want Xiaoyu to eat delicious meat? Impossible. These two people will never eat this kind of food. To me, this is a lack of appreciation."
Du Heng soon understood who the other person was. He saw Feng Gui standing next to Jing Nan with a look of disgust on his face. It was as if Jing Nan was eating shit instead of chicken butts. Seeing Du Heng looking over, Feng Gui clearly expressed his disgust: "Isn't there enough meat for you? Why are you eating this stuff?"
Jing Nan spit out the chicken bones and said, "You know nothing. Only real foodies can understand this delicious taste."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu awkwardly: "How about..."
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Yu bent down and took down two of the skewers Du Heng had chewed. He tilted his head and pulled down the third piece of fragrant meat. After chewing it carefully, Xuan Yu said gently, "It smells good and tastes good."
The string in Jing Nan's hand almost fell to the ground. He shook his head and said, "Love really makes people blind. Xiaoyu can even eat chicken butts."
After saying this, Jing Nan looked at Feng Gui dimly. Feng Gui ran away: "Give up this idea!"
Jing Nan spitted and continued to eat his delicious meat happily: "Hey, do you think I'm stupid? If you also like to eat delicious meat, won't there be one more person to compete with me for meat in the future?"

There are so many hidden menus on the barbecue. In addition to grilled chicken skin and chicken butts, the monks’ favorites are grilled potatoes and grilled eggplants.
When Du Heng was stimulating the growth of potatoes, there were some apricot-sized potatoes mixed in. Du Heng collected these potatoes carefully. He originally wanted to keep these potatoes to make fried potatoes for Xiao Xiao in the future, but he didn't expect the monks to put them on the grill and roast them roughly with the skin on.
Brush the baked potatoes with soybean oil and sprinkle with barbecue seasoning. The inside is soft and sweet, and the outside is spicy. The moment your teeth bite through the potato skin, the potato skin will make a slight popping sound, and thousands of flavors will burst out in an instant. Eat a few potatoes on a cold night, and even gods can't pull these sword immortals away from the grill.
There is also garlic eggplant. Put the whole eggplant on the charcoal fire and bake it. It won't take long for the eggplant to become soft inside. At this time, cut a knife on the surface of the eggplant and the tender white inside will be exposed. Use a knife to cut a few times inside the eggplant while it is still hot, and the juice of the eggplant will slowly seep out with the temperature of the charcoal fire.
At this time, spread a layer of garlic sauce inside the eggplant, and then sprinkle a layer of barbecue seasoning made by Du Heng. When the eggplant is completely soft inside, tear off a piece of eggplant flesh with chopsticks and put it in your mouth. The garlic flavor and the flavor of barbecue seasoning dance with the eggplant in your mouth... The sword immortals almost fought for the eggplant.
Speaking of Du Heng's garlic sauce, it is really a delicacy that is not known to others. After the pickled garlic, Jing Nan finally accepted another kind of garlic-made thing, that is, garlic sauce.
The garlic sauce was freshly made by Du Heng. When he saw the monks grilling eggplants, he thought of this classic delicacy from the barbecue stall in his hometown.
Du Heng took two kilograms of garlic seeds, chopped half into slightly larger particles, and the other half into finer particles. The slightly coarser particles were slowly fried over medium-low heat, stirring while frying. You can add more oil, and add a little salt, sugar, and fresh chili rings for seasoning while frying.
When the coarse minced garlic in the pot turns golden yellow and shrinks, and becomes granular when stirred with a spoon, you can add the other half of the finely minced garlic. Fry it over low heat for a while and when you smell the aroma of the minced garlic, the garlic sauce is ready.
The spicy garlic flavor of the finished garlic sauce turned into a mellow garlic aroma, and it tasted great when eaten directly. Without waiting for the garlic sauce to cool down, Du Heng used it to make a dish of garlic eggplant.
Seeing the sword immortals enjoying their meals, Du Heng thought that he could have more midnight barbecues in the future. In the world of cultivation, everyone has escaped the worry of food and clothing, so isn't eating just for fun?
The barbecue in the dining hall lasted until midnight. The monks came and went, and the skewers they had eaten were placed in eight wooden barrels next to the grill. The temperature of the barbecue and the monks' footsteps melted the snow on the ground without anyone noticing.
After the monks left, Du Heng and the others began to clean up the mess. At this time, Jing Nan suddenly appeared with the box that usually contained spiritual stones: "Hey? They put spiritual stones in it!"
Du Heng scanned the box with his spiritual sense and saw that there were more spiritual stones in the box than usual. Du Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This group of people are really something. Didn't they say they don't want any money?" And when did they put them in? He actually had no idea.
Xuan Yu said slowly: "Take it. The monks don't want to owe favors to others. They will feel better if you accept it."
Du Heng smiled and said, "Okay, let's buy some better ingredients later." It was not until Du Heng started buying ingredients that he realized how expensive spiritual sheep and the like were. It cost two thousand spiritual stones to buy an ordinary spiritual sheep. Du Heng once thought that the spiritual stones in the Taixu Realm were not worth much.
The one who managed the money among the four was Feng Gui. Although Feng Daxian looked like he had never done anything, he was better than ten Du Hengs when it came to accounting. Gu Lingfeng hadn't explained half a spiritual stone to him, so Feng Gui dragged him to calculate it one by one for him to see, which frightened Gu Lingfeng so much that he brought a small notebook with him to keep accounts when he went out to buy things.
Feng Gui put the spirit stone into the storage bag. He looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. It's time to rest. If you don't rest, I'm afraid Du Heng won't be able to get up tomorrow." Xuan Yu also said, "Yes, you should have a good rest after recovering from a serious illness. But you've been busy preparing a barbecue tonight."
Du Heng patted his belly and laughed, "Not bad, I ate a belly full of chicken butts today, I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time."
Just as Xuan Yu was about to put the grill into the storage bag, Wonton, who had disappeared overnight, appeared. Wonton was holding something in his mouth, and before he got close to Du Heng, he heard a cooing sound. Everyone looked closely and saw that Wonton had actually returned with an owl with injured wings and claws!
Jing Nan was furious when she saw what Wonton was holding in his mouth: "Why did you bring this thing back?! It's so unlucky! Throw it away, throw it away!"
The lights in the dining hall were on. Du Heng looked at the shivering owl in the bamboo basket on the table and asked, "Will it bite people?"
Jing Nan held gauze and pills in his hands. He sat down on the chair and said in a rough voice: "Bite people? If you dare to bite people, just stew them. Come on, stretch out your injured claws."
As soon as Jing Nan finished speaking, the owl really stretched out its injured right foot tremblingly. Jing Nan roughly pulled its claws and wrapped it up in three layers inside and outside.
The owl looked at Feng Gui and the others with its big, sparkling eyes. It made a cooing sound from its mouth and seemed quite excited.
Jing Nan frowned: "It's so noisy." The owl's call stopped abruptly.
Du Heng was amused: "Hey? This can't be some kind of spiritual beast, right? It's so human-like!"
Jing Nan was cleaning the wound on the owl's wing. He quickly shaved off the hair on the owl's broken wing and then wrapped it up like a leg wrap. After wrapping the wound, he stuffed a quarter of a pill into the owl's mouth. The poor owl was choking on the pill and almost rolled his eyes.
Du Heng touched Wonton's head and asked: "Where did you pick it up?" Wonton: "Oh, oh, oh..."
Xuan Yu said: "After the Shenxu Palace's mountain protection formation was broken, many birds and beasts in the nearby mountains and forests took the opportunity to run here. I guess it came here to catch mice."
Du Heng understood and said, "So that's it! No wonder Niannian Suisui Ciba and the others were unhappy and went home these days. It turns out they went out to catch mice."
Jing Nan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it shouldn't die. Let Tai Shuhong take it to the Imperial Beast Park tomorrow morning to raise it. It's too annoying to raise this thing. It's noisy and unlucky." The owl huddled into a ball, its wings one big and one small, looking particularly pitiful.
Feng Gui pondered and said, "With such injuries, you will be bullied by other feather tribes when you go to the Beast Control Garden, right? Why not let him recover here first?"
Jing Nan narrowed his eyes unhappily: "Leave it in the dining hall? What if it starts to cry in the middle of the night? If it disturbs my rest, I might as well throw it out now..." Jing Nan said maliciously to the owl: "Let it fend for itself!"
The owl shivered, and its fur stuck to its body, making it look even more pitiful.
Du Heng thought the little owl was cute, with a round head and big eyes, and was very similar to his Ciba. After thinking about this, he said, "Why not keep it? Tell Ciba later not to bite it to death as if it were an ordinary bird. Let's release it when its feathers grow back."
Du Heng said to Xuan Yu with a smile: "Owls are beneficial birds that can catch mice. We already have so many small animals that can catch mice at home, so this one won't make a difference."
Xuan Yu felt that Du Heng was completely bewildered by the owl's round face. After a long while, he murmured, "Okay."
Du Heng arranged the bamboo basket, put some dry straw and some old clothes in it. After pressing it a little, the bamboo basket became a nice bird's nest. He hung the bamboo basket under the eaves and covered it with a thick piece of clothing: "That's it."
Before Jing Nan entered the house, he said to the basket viciously: "I'm telling you, if you wake me up tomorrow morning, I'll twist your neck off."
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan in confusion. He whispered to Xuan Yu, "What's wrong with Nan Nan? Why does he have such a big problem with Owl?"
Xuan Yu looked up at the sky and said innocently, "I don't know either."
However, the next morning, Du Heng was still awakened by a burst of noisy bird calls. In addition to the bird calls, he also heard the chirping of the yearlings and the breathing of the glutinous rice cake. He climbed up with bloodshot eyes.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Nianniansuisui cornering the owl, with Ciba baring his teeth at it. The owl's hair exploded, and it made an unpleasant whistle-like sound.
Du Heng rushed over to put out the fire: "Niannian Suisui, this is an owl that came to our house to recuperate. Don't..."
Before Du Heng finished speaking, the door next door suddenly opened, and Jing Nan rushed out with bloodshot eyes and ran straight to Owl: "You ignored what I told you last night?! Do you really think I have no temper?"
Feng Gui was unable to stop Jing Nan, who grabbed the owl's head with one claw and swung his arm to throw the owl out. The poor owl only had time to make a gurgling sound before it flew across the yard and stuck to the other side of the wall. After a while, it slid down the wall and fell to the ground.
Year after year, they all shut up after seeing the miserable plight of the owl. Jing Nan was furious: "Anyone who disturbs others' sweet dreams will be killed without mercy!"
Failed to stop Jing Nan's return:...
Du Heng was shocked: "Nan Nan is so angry." The last time he saw Jing Nan in such a bad temper was on the day Feng Gui left, when he was woken up by Feng Gui's subordinates.
Seeing this owl, Du Heng couldn't help but think of the general who was beaten black and blue by Jing Nan. What was the general's name? Cat Bu Yan?
The author has something to say: The cat doesn’t speak: I’m fucking… screwed.
Wonton: Say that again?
Cat Says Nothing: I was wrong. I meant that I had offended the Fox God, and my life was so difficult. Every time we met, it was horrible.
The chicken skin and chicken butt in the barbecue are really delicious, but there are so few stores selling this stuff. If I come across it, I will eat at least ten skewers by myself! !
