What he said made a lot of sense, Jing Nan couldn't even refute it. Feng Gui grabbed Xiao Xiao's wing and lifted him up. Xiao Xiao was already crying like a tearful chicken.
Feng Gui sighed, "How come you don't understand your uncle's painstaking efforts? Xiaoxiao, everyone in our clan loves this bug, how can you not like it? Come, Xuanyu, help me hold Xiaoxiao down."
Xuan Yu shook his head: "Let the kid go." Feng Gui sneered: "Why do you have the same tone as Jing Nan? Hurry up, drink it up while it's fresh. I still have a storage bag, it's not easy for me to catch it."
Seeing Xiaoxiao struggling pitifully, Du Heng said, "Why don't you eat?" He was forcing Xiaoxiao to eat such disgusting food. If she had the guts, she could eat it herself.
After hearing what Du Heng said, Feng Gui looked at Du Heng in confusion. He put Xiao Xiao down and looked at Du Heng with a strange expression: "People who don't know would think you are Xiao Xiao's relative. Do you all think I would harm Xiao Xiao? This is the larva of the black-winged golden-tailed abyss butterfly. It is extremely poisonous and has been eating spiritual plants since childhood. What is poisonous in the eyes of other feather tribes is delicious in the eyes of our tribe."
Feng Gui raised his hand and gulped down half a bowl of insect juice. He wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth elegantly and said, "I have drunk it. This is the method I think he can accept the most. If he doesn't eat this kind of insect, he won't have the strength to resist the toxins in his body when he grows up. Do you think I am willing to force him to eat it again and again?!"
Feng Gui threw the small jade bowl into the yard. He said to Xiao Xiao, who was crying, "Feng Lin, when I was your age, even Yuanying-stage monsters didn't dare to get close to me. Look at you now. You can't even handle a monster. How are you going to protect yourself in the future?!"
Feng Gui was so disappointed that he turned away. Jing Nan hurriedly chased Feng Gui out: "Old Feng, calm down, the child is still young. Wait for me."
Xuan Yu looked in Feng Gui's direction and said, "Feng Gui is angry. I can understand that he is worried about Xiao Xiao, but this is not Xiao Xiao's fault." Du Heng hugged Xiao Xiao, who was crying and hiccuping. He sighed and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have questioned Xiao Xiao's uncle so much."
Xuan Yu comforted Du Heng: "Feng Gui has that temper, don't take it to heart. He is not like this usually, but he lost his composure because of Xiao Xiao. I will go talk to him." Du Heng hurriedly grabbed Xuan Yu: "Bring some gifts."
Du Heng picked up a dozen chicken crisps and put several plates in the food box: "He will be in a better mood if we eat and talk at the same time." Du Heng felt very embarrassed. "We are from the same village. If possible, please help me speak up." He didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Feng Gui in the future.
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng, holding the lunch box and comforting him: "Okay. Don't worry, I'll bring Feng back for lunch at noon." Du Heng thought for a moment and said: "Okay."
After Xuan Yu left, Xiao Xiao was still crying. Du Heng felt sorry for her. He wiped Xiao Xiao's tears and brought her some chicken crisps: "Xiao Xiao, look, the chicken crisps I made for you, aren't they cute?" Xiao Xiao nodded: "Chirp..."
Du Heng smiled and touched his head: "It tastes even better, try it. I made it especially for you. If you like it, I'll make more for you in the future." Xiaoxiao nodded sullenly: "Chirp..."
The chicken crisps were golden and crispy. Xiaoxiao stopped crying and stared at the chicken crisps from top to bottom. At the end, he couldn't help but put it in his mouth. After chewing it twice, Xiaoxiao let out a cry of surprise, and his big eyes narrowed and he laughed.
Du Heng rubbed Xiao Xiao's head and said, "There are some left for you over there. If you like them, I will make other fillings for you later." Xiao Xiao happily squatted on the chair at the dining table and nodded hurriedly while looking at the remaining dozen or so chicken crisps. He looked at this and then at that. Although the chicken crisps looked the same in Du Heng's eyes, they became cute little creatures with their own characteristics in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
Xiaoxiao's attention was distracted, and Du Heng was preparing to mix the wine yeast at the table. Du Heng prepared 50 to 60 kilograms of spiritual rice, which required about 2.5 taels of sweet wine yeast.
He bought a pound of sweet wine yeast from Zhou's shop. The brown wine yeast was neatly wrapped in oil paper by Zhou Xiyue, and the word "wine" was written on it with red paper.
In order to store the wine, Du Heng made a big round wooden barrel in advance. He remembered that when he was young, every family in the village had a big clay jar. Maybe because of the problem of his spiritual roots, the jar he made when he used the earth-guiding talisman was very ugly, and it could not be called a jar at all. After Du Heng tried it, he had to give up with regret.
Fortunately, he was quite handy with the wood charm, and the large wooden barrel he made was smooth and beautiful. He soaked it in water yesterday, and the new wooden barrel exuded a plant fragrance. Du Heng cleaned the barrel and placed it next to the dining table.
He poured 50 kilograms of steamed rice into the wooden barrel. After a period of cooling, the rice felt about the same as human body temperature. Du Heng felt the stickiness of the rice with his hand. Because he soaked the rice for a long time, the rice felt sticky.
Du Heng sprinkled the koji evenly on the spiritual rice. The next step was a big project. He needed to mix the koji and the spiritual rice evenly. If it was in the past, Du Heng would have to sit and rest for at least half an hour. But now with the blessing of spiritual energy, Du Heng quickly mixed the spiritual rice and koji.
The rice wine looks a little dark after mixing, because the color of the koji is brown. At this time, you need to add a little warm water, because Du Heng soaked the rice for a long time before, and the rice is sticky.
He didn't add much warm water. This was a job that required a lot of hands. Du Heng increased the amount of warm water in the basin a little bit, then reduced it a little bit. Finally, he poured it out according to his own feeling and experience.
When he made rice wine before, he had never made so much. He had made rice wine with ten kilograms of rice several times, and it was relatively successful. This time, Du Heng also trusted his intuition.
After pouring the warm water, Du Heng dug a hole in the middle of the rice, the hole was as big as a bowl. The purpose of leaving this hole was to facilitate observation of the production of rice wine, and also to facilitate the subsequent fermentation of cold boiled water.
Du Heng cleaned up all the rice grains at the bottom of the hole and the edge of the barrel. Now, looking down from above, the spiritual rice in the barrel looked like a white donut.
Du Heng washed his hands and then covered the barrel with a lid. In order to make the rice wine ferment better, he also took a clean quilt and covered the barrel lid carefully. After doing all this, Du Heng moved the barrel to the corner of the kitchen.
Unconsciously, he had become very strong. He could move the wooden barrel, the spiritual rice and quilt inside, weighing 70 to 80 kilograms. If it were in the past, even though Du Heng claimed to be a strong young man, it would still be very difficult for him to do it.
It was time to prepare lunch, and Du Heng looked at his inventory. He was going to cook a kelp and pork ribs soup, make fried meatballs, steamed meat patties with egg white, and stir-fry some seasonal vegetables with some green spiritual plants that Jing Nan brought over. The staple food was spiritual rice, and if that didn't work, he would make a meat patty.
Du Heng started to work. When he was chopping meat, Xiao Xiao jumped onto the stove. Du Heng smiled and said, "Watch out for your claws. Don't stretch your neck. If you get chopped, it'll be bad." Xiao Xiao shrank her neck and said, "Chirp."
Du Heng asked him while busy with his work, "Have you finished eating the chicken crisps?" Xiaoxiao shook her head. Du Heng looked back at the table and saw that the plate on the table was empty.
Du Heng smiled: "Isn't it empty?" Xiaoxiao took out a storage bag from under his wing and pointed to Du Heng, saying that he put the chicken crisps in there. He could eat them slowly later.
The chicken crisps soothed Xiaoxiao's pain, and now Xiaoxiao's spirits have returned. He watched Du Heng stirring the meat filling, and he made a suspicious sound. After spending so much time with Xiaoxiao, Du Heng could guess what he wanted to express from some of his intonations. Xiaoxiao wanted to ask now: "What delicious food are you making?"
Du Heng said, "I'm making meatballs. I'll make a small amount first. Didn't Lao Dao send us a mountain goat with a lot of meat? I'm going to make something that we often eat during the Chinese New Year, such as fried meatballs, which we call lion's heads."
Xiaoxiao let out a pleasant chirp, almost trembling. Du Heng said with a smile: "It sounds mighty, but it's just a meatball. I'll let you try it first when it's ready, okay?" Xiaoxiao nodded happily: "Chirp~"
There was only one stove, and Du Heng was a little overwhelmed. Especially since he wanted to stew kelp and pork ribs soup, it would take a long time. At this time, he had to use the treasure that Du Heng found in Zhou's shop - a freely movable alchemy furnace.
This is really an alchemy furnace. Zhou Xiyue said that this was the alchemy furnace used by the great man, but the furnace was damaged and the spiritual fire inside escaped, so the great man didn't want to use it anymore. When the Zhou brothers took over the furnace, they hoped to sell it for a good price, but they didn't expect that the lid of the furnace was lost.
The Zhou brothers gave it a lid, but it didn't look right. So when the furnace arrived at the shop, no one was interested in it. It gradually gathered dust in the shop for hundreds of years until Du Heng was attracted by its peculiar shape and bought it at a bargain price of eight spirit stones.
This furnace is different from the ordinary furnace with a narrow mouth and a big belly. It is in a straight cylindrical shape. It can be shrunk and enlarged. When Du Heng saw it, it looked very much like the special stove with honeycomb coal that Du Heng's mother used to make soup in the present world.
Du Heng took out the black furnace and threw it under the eaves. He took a piece of burning blood-sucking vine from the stove and threw it into the furnace. This kind of blood-sucking vine is really useful. A small piece can burn for a long time. Anyway, after the new house was built, Du Heng had not replaced the blood-sucking vine at the bottom of the stove.
The blood-sucking vine was put into the furnace, and orange flames came out of the straight-cylinder mouth. Du Heng put a clay pot with water and chopped pork ribs on the furnace. This clay pot was also bought. This was the result of his and Xiaoxiao's large-scale purchase.
The white casserole is particularly heavy. Zhou Xiyue said that this casserole is used by alchemists to prepare spiritual plants.
The casserole was placed on the alchemy furnace, and Du Heng closed the lid and ignored it. He was going to soak the kelp, and he didn't know if the kelp in the cultivation world was the same as that in the lower world.
Du Heng soaked the kelp in clean water, and after a while the black kelp grew bigger. The small and shriveled kelp that had dried up turned into brown, thick and wide kelp after a while when it was put into the water. If you smelled it, it still had the salty smell of sea water.
Du Heng cleaned the stains on the kelp and left it to soak in clean water for a while. After the casserole was boiled, he skimmed off the foam and put the kelp slices in to cook the soup.
Now he was going to make meatballs! Sitting in the oil pan where he was frying the chicken crisps for Xiaoxiao, Du Heng couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a busy day today."
The author has something to say: Feng Gui: Let me show you a unique skill of drinking insect juice in one gulp. This is the unique skill of the Feathered Clan, and ordinary people should not try it.
Jing Nan: This is true, I can testify to it. Last time, several beastmen were poisoned.
Xuan Yu: Can Feng Gui change his bad habit of turning hostile at the drop of a hat? Du Heng is frightened by you.
Feng Gui: If I don't scare him, where do all these chicken crisps come from? I can't snatch food from my nephew.
