Chapter 205 Extra
I don't know how Du Heng made such a huge roasted camel. In Wen Qiong's impression, the beast tribe's camels have thick skin and flesh, and only appear in sparsely populated deserts and Gobi. She was lucky enough to see a live camel, and the smell of the camel almost suffocated her.
The roasted camel had completely lost its fishy smell. Wen Qiong picked up a piece of camel meat that was cut a little thicker and put it into her mouth. With a slight stir of the tip of her tongue, the delicious juice burst out in her mouth. It was so soft and tender! The lean meat of the camel was not dry at all. If you chewed it carefully, you could taste the crispy texture of the camel skin. The camel skin tasted a bit like the fried oil residue that Du Heng had fried before, a bit crispy and a bit tough.
There is a thick layer of fat between the lean meat and the skin. The fat is slightly yellowish and looks like it has been pickled with spices. If you normally eat such fat, you will definitely feel a little greasy, but Du Heng’s seasoning is just right, and the taste of the spices neutralizes the greasiness of the fat. It tastes fat but not greasy.
Generally, when roasting large animals, the seasoning should be slightly stronger so that the inside can be properly marinated. But if you do this, the outside of the roasted meat will be saltier. But the roasted meat in front of him did not have this problem. Wen Qiong asked casually: "Master, how did you roast this camel? It tastes so good."
This opened up Du Heng's mouth. He pulled out a stool and sat down between Wen Qiong and the others. He said, "You don't know, Nan Nan took me to the beast tribe. I had always wanted to eat roasted camel."
When the beastmen brought the roasted camel to him, the fishy smell almost made him vomit. The meat on the outside was burnt, and the meat on the inside was still bloody. How could this be called a delicacy?
However, in the eyes of the beastmen, this is a delicacy. Because the beastmen can even eat raw meat, eating this kind of roasted meat with blood is no problem.
In short, Du Heng was very disappointed, but he was still determined to make something better, so he looked through the recipe book and studied it carefully for several days before he finally figured out how to cook the camel.
After slaughtering the camel, it must be cleaned thoroughly and then marinated with carefully prepared spices for half a day. The thick meat must be cut open to allow the spices to penetrate into the meat. Half a day later, the camel is placed in a steamer and steamed for an hour until the camel meat is cooked.
Here, Du Heng borrowed the method of making eight-treasure duck. The steamed camel meat has a soft texture and retains more moisture than direct charcoal grilling. The charcoal grilling time should not be too long, and the skin should be golden and crispy.
Du Heng spent more than half a month to prepare this stunning roasted whole camel. When this dish came out, the monks of the beast tribe all knelt on the ground and cried and called the saint. The saint is worthy of being a saint. The camel he made is completely different from the one they roasted. It's too delicious!
Wen Qiong's mouth was full of oil as she ate. She was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears: "Master, it's so good to have you here."
Everyone immediately understood what Wen Qiong meant. Wen Qiong meant that as long as Du Heng was there, she would have endless snacks to eat and endless delicacies to taste just like Xiaoxiao.
A camel is huge, and Du Heng has the Magical Dzi Bead, so everyone can be full after eating a few pieces. Du Heng kindly reminded: "Eat less, there is still something inside."
After hearing what Du Heng said, everyone looked at the camel. At this time, Xuan Yu had cut a hole in the camel's side. Through the ribs, they could see that there seemed to be something stuffed in the camel's abdominal cavity.
Everyone's consciousness went to the abdominal cavity, and they saw a cow with its head removed in the abdominal cavity, and a sheep with its head removed in the cow's belly. Two plump old hens were crammed into the sheep's stomach. There were even a few eggs in the old hen's stomach!
It turns out that this is not just a camel! There are so many delicious things inside the camel!
Du Heng said proudly: "How is it? This dish is enough for hundreds of people, right?" If a few more camels were cooked, it would be enough for the entire Dingkun Sect to have a delicious meal.
Wen Qiong and the others ate until their bellies were full. The gift from Du Heng was so rich that even Liu Yuanyuan, who was usually the pickiest eater, was full. Just as Qi Yushu and the others were about to take the roasted whole camel down and distribute it to the disciples of the Dingkun Sect, the forbidden force on the mountain was activated.
Wen Qiong's face suddenly turned pale: "Here it comes again... Oh."
Du Heng asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Wen Qiong covered her face and said, "Don't mention it. I've been so unlucky recently."
Du Heng looked at He Jianing, and He Jianing said with a smile: "Grand Elder Ye of Shenxu Palace and Sect Master Yang of Zhenhuang Mountain both like my master. Recently, they have both been trying to woo my master."
Wen Qiong felt overwhelmed when she heard this. She lowered her head in agony and said, "Stop talking. Let me be quiet."
The moonlight was like water, dimly sprinkled in the yard, and a few insects were chirping in the flowers near the wall. In the quiet night, Dad Du and Xiaoxiao had gone to bed early, but through the window, they could still see the lights on in the room.
Xuan Yu poured Du Heng a cup of warm water: "It's late at night, it's time to rest." Du Heng took a sip of the water, his head buzzing: "Oh, my head is so big."
Just now, Yang Yuanqing and Ye Wenqiu left here. Ye Wenqiu was okay, he was relatively quiet, he only told Du Heng that he liked Wen Qiong. Yang Yuanqing was different, he regarded Du Heng as Wen Qiong's elder, and tried to persuade Du Heng to help him pursue Wen Qiong.
What could Du Heng say? He could only say that this matter depended on fate. He was not Wen Qiong's parent. Besides, even if he was a parent, he couldn't interfere in his children's marriage. So he could only say that it was up to Wen Qiong to decide.
Du Heng sighed: "It seems that my vision is still good."
He fell in love with Wen Qiong at first sight. If he had not been beaten like a dog by Wen Qiong and had not been traumatized by her, and if Xiaoyu had not intercepted him halfway, he might have really been able to develop something with Wen Qiong.
His master Wen Qiong is petite and cute. Although she doesn't have the long legs and slim waist that the female cultivators in the world of cultivation usually have, she is genuine and resilient, so it's normal that she is likable.
Du Heng shook his head and said, "What is this called? A good girl is sought after by hundreds of families. They didn't know that Sect Master Wen was a girl before, but now that it's exposed, they have all discovered my master's good qualities. Sigh..."
Just like Wen Qiong said, if someone pursued her during her years of poverty, she might have softened her heart and gotten the favor. But now she doesn't need a man at all, a man will only slow down her sword-drawing speed.
Du Heng handed the teacup to Xuan Yu and sighed, "Xiao Yu, do you really want to help Master tell fortunes?"
Wen Qiong was cornered by these two men, so she begged Xuan Yu to help her read her fortune. After all, no one in the cultivation world could read more accurately than Xuan Yu.
Wen Qiong's original words were: "Lord Long, please help me calculate. If it is really my lucky star that has moved, and I deserve this disaster, I will accept it. If not, I can send them away and save myself from the headache every day."
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "No need to calculate."
Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Huh? What's wrong?" Could it be that Xuan Yu was afraid of wasting his spiritual energy and was unwilling to help? Yes, using the Zhoutian Xingchen Technique is very physically demanding.
Xuan Yu said: "Xiao Qiong's Red Luan star has indeed moved, but she herself has not realized it yet."
Du Heng suddenly stood up from the bedside and cried excitedly, "Who is it? Is it Old Ye or Little Yang?"
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "None of them." Du Heng felt like there were a hundred kittens scratching at him. He hated Xuan Yu the most when he kept things a secret. He immediately pestered Xuan Yu, "Who is it? Tell me. Tell me quickly."
Xuan Yu smiled but said nothing. Du Heng analyzed, "Yang Yuanqing has a straightforward personality, but he's not a bad person. If he's really with Xiao Qiong, he should treat her well. As for Old Ye, he's outstanding in character and appearance, so it's a good fit for Xiao Qiong to be with him."
Xuan Yu chuckled and kissed Du Heng: "You can't hide the look in your eyes when you like someone. Look carefully tomorrow, the person who likes Xiao Qiong is next to her."
Du Heng couldn't sleep all night because of Xuan Yu's words. The faces of several people he was familiar with from Dingkun Sect kept appearing in his mind, but he couldn't find out who looked at Wen Qiong in an unusual way.
Du Heng thought, if there really is such a person next to Qiong Qiong, then this person is hiding very well.
At dawn the next day, Qi Yushu brought a few sect servants to clean the courtyard. His movements were very gentle, but they still woke up Du Heng and the others.
When Du Heng pushed the door open, he saw his tall and graceful senior brother standing in the courtyard, as tender as a spring onion. Qi Yushu bowed respectfully: "Grandmaster."
Du Heng felt uncomfortable all over. He waved his hands repeatedly: "Big Brother, please stop calling me like that. Just call me like before." Qi Yushu smiled gently: "Okay, Junior Brother."
Du Heng felt that he had already taken advantage of the situation. It would have been fine if he hadn't taught Wen Qiong for even a day. But now that he had become the ancestor of the Dingkun Sect and had so many disciples and grandchildren, and they all called him ancestor, Du Heng felt that he had become an immortal monster.
It was still early, so Du Heng had to get up to make breakfast for everyone. Today he was going to make scallion pancakes, and Du Heng was able to think of this snack thanks to the gentle Qi Yushu.
He placed the stove in the courtyard, then skillfully scooped noodles and cut green onions to make fried dough. While busying himself, he asked, "Big Brother, you are the earliest disciple to enter Dingkun Sect, right?"
Qi Yushu stood aside and said gently, "Yes, I have been a disciple for 5,348 years."
Du Heng gave a thumbs up: "Good memory!" He didn't even remember when he returned to the Taixu Realm, nor how many years had passed since he came back. It was not easy for Qi Yushu to remember so clearly.
Qi Yushu smiled slightly, and Du Heng gossiped: "Then can I ask, Senior Brother, why did you choose to join the Ding Kun Sect at that time?" If he remembered correctly, he had heard Wen Qiong mention it. She said that Qi Yushu was a child of a wealthy family at that time and had good spiritual roots. For such a person, why did he choose to join the Ding Kun Sect, a small sect that was still unknown at the time?
Qi Yushu lowered his eyes and said with a smile, "Because I thought Master was very interesting at that time."
Du Heng looked at Qi Yushu in confusion, and Qi Yushu's eyes showed nostalgia. He stared at the shallot on the chopping board and said faintly: "Such a young girl squatted in front of the thatched house and told me seriously that she would let me practice with her and she would guarantee my longevity."
Du Heng's mouth twitched. This... isn't this just fooling people?
Disciples in the foundation-building stage can live a hundred years. If someone said to a disciple with good spiritual roots: Come, follow me to practice, I guarantee you will live a hundred years... I guess the mountain gate would be smashed down.
