But it was a bit difficult to find straw. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find dry straw in the snow. Du Heng planned to go to the spiritual field outside to look around, maybe he could find something to replace it.
While the spiritual rice was bubbling, Du Heng picked up a sickle and walked out of the courtyard gate.
Outside the door, there were lush green grasses. There were many spiritual plants in Jing Nan's barrier. Jing Nan had added protective restrictions to some of them, which could be seen at a glance. Du Heng would not touch his restrictions. He walked along the ridge of the field for a while with his head down.
At this time, he heard a rustling sound coming from the field. After parting the thatched grass that was half a person's height, Du Heng saw a blue snake tail.
It turned out to be a cow lying in the field eating grass. Du Heng remembered Xuan Yu saying that cows are actually a kind of fish. At this time, it was lying in the field docilely, chewing grass slowly, looking no different from an ordinary cow.
The cow heard some movement behind it and looked back at Du Heng. It swung its snake-like tail as a greeting.
Du Heng walked up to the cow and touched its head: "Thank you so much for yesterday. If you hadn't returned to the village to ask Jingnan and the others for help, I don't know what would have happened to Xiaoxiao and I."
The cow chewed the grass docilely, looking at Du Heng with its big eyes. Du Heng thought for a moment, then rummaged through his storage bag and found a small bag of soybeans. He also took out a few fresh sea duck eggs and placed them on the soybeans: "I don't know what you like to eat."
The cow rolled up its long tongue, and Du Heng saw that it had short barbs on it. It rolled up the sea duck eggs on top, and the cow didn't even look at the soybeans below. Du Heng smiled and touched the cow's head: "So you like to eat duck eggs. I'll remember that."
Jing Nan's voice came: "The bream is a kind of fish, but it likes the sun, so they often climb out of the water to bask in the sun. They can fly and dive into the water, and have a gentle temperament, so they are perfect to be used as mounts."
Du Heng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jing Nan walking over from the ridge of the field: "If you want to thank it, just feed it a few pickled sea duck eggs. It likes to eat that."
Upon hearing this, Du Heng quickly took out a few sea duck eggs covered in mud from his storage bag. When Niu'er saw the eggs, he rolled the eggs into his mouth with his tongue without waiting for Du Heng to wash off the mud and sand.
There was a slight sound of eggshell cracking, and thin egg white hung from the cow's mouth. It squinted its eyes and swallowed happily. After a while, it lowered its head and licked even the egg white that dripped on the grass leaves.
Du Heng was happy: "I know that livestock can eat fresh chicken eggs or duck eggs to relieve internal heat, but this is the first time I know that it can eat salted duck eggs." Jing Nan said: "The bream can flow into the sea along with the water, so this saltiness should be just right for them."
Du Heng nodded: "The world is full of wonders, I've learned a lot. By the way, Feng Gui is not angry anymore?" Jing Nan lifted her hair and chuckled: "Why would he be angry? When he saw Xiao Xiao holding a meatball for him, he immediately smiled. Feng Gui has no moral integrity in front of Xiao Xiao, you don't have to worry about it. They are uncle and nephew, so just get used to it."
Du Heng nodded: "That's good. I saw Xiaoxiao was very sad after you left. I thought he had to apologize sincerely before Fenggui would forgive him."
Jing Nan laughed out loud: "Come on, Feng Gui is still worried about how to coax Xiao Xiao so that Xiao Xiao can change her mind. Don't worry about the two of them. This kind of quarrel happens every now and then. Xuan Yu and I are used to it."
Speaking of Xuan Yu, Du Heng asked with a smile: "Where are Xuan Yu and the others?" Jing Nan pointed at Xuan Yu's house: "They went to your house. Lao Dao brought you a lot of game, and Xuan Yu is preparing it. By the way, shouldn't you be in the kitchen? Why are you in the field?"
Du Heng said, "I want to make braised pork, and I need to find a spiritual plant that can bind meat." Jing Nan asked, "As long as it's a spiritual plant, it will be fine? Are there any requirements?"
Du Heng said, "It would be best if it has a fresh and fragrant smell, is non-toxic and has no odor, and has long and tough leaves." Jing Nan said, "Don't have too many of these spiritual plants. Come with me."
Du Heng followed Jing Nan closely. He saw Jing Nan walked to the purple-red dragon-building grass. He plucked a leaf and asked, "Is that enough?"
The red leaf in Jing Nan's hand was one meter long and five fingers wide, with long strips of clear veins. With a little cleaning, it could be torn apart along the veins. Du Heng took the leaf and said, "Enough, enough!"
Jing Nan walked behind Du Heng with his hands in his pockets, and asked as he walked: "Let me taste the meatball that Xiaoxiao was holding just now." Du Heng narrowed his eyes: "Okay~"
When Jing Nan heard that his request was so easily granted, he asked even more: "I want two more of the chicken crisps from before."
Du Heng could only say with regret: "I'm sorry, the rest were taken by Xiaoxiao, but if you like it, I'll make it again when I'm free. I'll send it to you first when it's done." Jing Nan was in a good mood: "Deal!"
In the yard, Lao Dao and Xuan Yu were busy. In a large wooden basin, a sturdy mountain goat was being depilated in hot water.
Du Heng greeted Lao Dao: "Did you hunt for mountain jellyfish again? Thank you, Lao Dao." Lao Dao was rolling up his sleeves and shaving pig hair with Xuan Yu. When he heard Du Heng talking, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Mr. Du, these are all prey from the traps on the mountain. We caught several in the past two days. I thought only Mr. Du could handle these things, so I brought them to you."
Du Heng was very grateful: "Thank you, thank you, but you always bring it to me, what do you do?" The prey must rely on hunting to make a living, right? Lao Dao gave the prey to him, what should he do?
At this time, Jing Nan spoke up: "Don't be polite, you two. I feel something is wrong. Du Heng, let me tell you this. Lao Dao and I are both demon cultivators. We usually don't even look at the things in front of you. Just keep them. It's not convenient for you to go up the mountain with your weak arms and legs."
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan with resentment. Jing Nan smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me?" Du Heng pinched Jing Nan's arm and said, "You are about the same as me, right?"
They actually said he had small arms and legs? Jing Nan's figure was even slimmer than Du Heng's. He looked like a weak scholar or a famous doctor who was hiding from the world.
Jing Nan fell backwards in anger: "What did you say? Say it again?" Du Heng picked up the dragon grass leaves and walked into the kitchen: "Nothing, I'm going to make braised pork."
Jing Nan complained to Xuan Yu in the yard: "Look at him, how short-sighted he is? He actually said that my cultivation level is about the same as his."
Xuan Yu snapped his fingers, and the black hair of the mountain goby in the basin shed off, revealing its snow-white skin.
Xuan Yu said slowly, "Ignorance is not a crime." Jing Nan snorted, "Just spoil him. I tell you, next spring, he must start practicing. If you go out with that look, you won't be afraid of being beaten to death."
Du Heng opened the lid of the pot and took out a meatball: "Jingnan, it's time for the meatballs." Jingnan immediately smiled: "Hey, here it comes."
Lao Dao wiped the sweat off his head and said to Xuan Yu: "Sir, Doctor Jing was not like this before." Xuan Yu raised a little smile: "I know, because Du Heng came here, we have all become different."
Jing Nan took a bite of the meatball slowly, his mouth full of meaty aroma, Jing Nan narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. He saw Du Heng clean the leaves of the dragon grass and tear them into thin strips to stick the meat. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Du Heng said: "This is also called Dongpo pork. Tie the meat up with straw and stew it in the pot. This way the meat will have the fragrance of straw and be fat but not greasy."
Jing Nan chewed a meatball and asked, "What about the rope? Can it be eaten after being stewed with meat? And why is it called Dongpo Pork? Does it need to be stewed on the east slope?"
Du Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Doctor Jing, can you please stop making trouble? I'll give you another meatball, you can eat it." Jing Nan sighed: "What kind of commander are you? You have no patience at all."
Du Heng explained as he was stabbing the meat: "It's because there was a scholar named Su Dongpo in ancient times. This is the way of eating meat he invented." Jing Nan thought for a moment and said: "Why haven't I heard of this person?"
Du Heng's mouth twitched. He knew why he had to explain this to Jing Nan? It was impossible to explain it clearly!
There were twelve pieces of meat in total. Du Heng put them in the pot to blanch them. When he took them out, they had changed color. Du Heng fried sugar color in the pot. Sugar color is to add a little more sugar to the oil, and the oil temperature will make the sugar melt and change color.
The fried sugar color is bright red, moist but not greasy, and looks better than the color seasoned with soy sauce.
There are many ways to make braised pork in brown sauce, and Du Heng knows more than a dozen of them. He plans to use his father's method, which is simple and saves the steaming process.
Du Heng put the tightly bound meat into the fried sugar color, and after a few stir-fry, each piece of meat was covered with a layer of shiny sugar color. He laid out a dozen pieces of meat with the skin facing up, and added boiling water to cover the meat.
Adding boiling water can make the meat more tender, while adding cold water will make the lean meat dry. In fact, if there is enough rice wine, the taste will be better, but there are only so many ingredients at hand, so be flexible. Du Heng has always felt that being able to use the ingredients at hand to make delicious things can reflect the chef's skills.
After adding ginger slices, scallions, and cooking wine into the pot, Du Heng covered the pot. Don't turn the fire too high, or the soup will dry up and burn the pot. Just simmer quietly for half an hour, and the braised pork will be ready!
Jing Nan poked another meatball on the chopsticks without knowing when. He squinted his eyes and sighed, "It's so difficult..." Du Heng asked, "What's so difficult?"
Jing Nan said, "It's so hard to have a meal. I saw you busying yourself early in the morning, frying and deep-frying, but you haven't eaten anything yet." Du Heng was not convinced: "Spit out the meatballs you ate!"
Jing Nan swallowed all the remaining meatballs on the chopsticks in one gulp: "No."
Du Heng looked at the sun, it was almost noon. He remembered that he had been busy making wine, chicken crisps and cooking all morning, and he hadn't had a break yet. But when he thought that everyone would get together for dinner later, he didn't feel tired at all.
Du Heng said: "It's too late to stir-fry seasonal vegetables, so let's just chop some cucumbers." Cucumbers are green anyway, so it's enough for the sake of just that.
Du Heng quickly mixed the cucumbers and said to Xuan Yu and the others, "The meal is ready! Let's deal with it in the afternoon?" Xuan Yu immediately stood up and wiped his hands. He handed Du Heng a storage bag: "The processed mountain gypsum and mole, there is also a Kui Niu in it."
Du Heng reached out to take the storage bag: "So..." Before he could finish his words, the storage bag in his hand slammed heavily to the ground. He was completely stunned. Isn't such a small storage bag too heavy? !
Jing Nan squatted beside Du Heng and sighed: "Starting next year, you really have to practice seriously." Xuan Yu quickly pulled Du Heng up: "Are you okay?" Lao Dao asked about his health: "Are your bones not broken?"
Du Heng grinned: "It's okay... Can someone help call Xiaoxiao and the others to come for dinner..." He looked at the storage bag on the ground with lingering fear. How much stuff was in it? It was too heavy, wasn't it?
34
Du Heng fell, but it wasn't too bad, just hit his waist, and when he turned around, he could hear his bones crackling. Therefore, Xuan Yu and Lao Dao helped with things like serving rice and soup.
As for the other few people who were eating for free, let alone Jing Nan. He looked like a gentleman at the beginning, but his bad nature was exposed in just a few days.
Feng Gui? Wherever he sat, he acted like a king, and Du Heng didn't dare to order him around.
Looking closely, there were only meatballs, steamed meat patties, smashed cucumbers, and kelp and pork ribs soup on the table. Although there were not many, the portions were quite large. Feng Gui glanced at the pot: "What else is in there?"
Du Heng said, "Braised pork, but it's not cooked yet." Feng Gui asked, "How long does it take to cook?" Du Heng looked at the pot: "Half an hour... um... two incense sticks?"
Feng Gui's hand flashed with inspiration: "Alright." Jing Nan drank the soup and ordered: "Xuan Yu, go and serve the meat!" Xuan Yu: "Don't always use this kind of magic. It will be troublesome if Lao Xia's formation breaks down."
Feng Gui said indifferently: "If it doesn't work, let him build another one." Xiao Xiao responded to his uncle: "Chirp!"
Du Heng was confused. He asked Xuan Yu, "What did Feng Gui do?" Xuan Yu said, "Feng Gui has shortened your cooking time. The meat in your pot should be ready now." Du Heng stood up and opened the lid of the pot. He was dumbfounded when he saw the soup in the pot, which had half of the meat gone.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Du Heng would have thought he was confused in his sleep! He looked at Feng Gui in disbelief: "How did you do it?"
Feng Gui was about to speak when Jing Nan stuffed a meatball into Feng Gui's mouth. He smiled obscenely: "Want to know? Follow us to practice?" He looked like a typical MLM member. Du Heng didn't want to pay attention to him.
The pork belly was shaking in the plate, and the red dragon grass stuck on the meat looked particularly festive. The thick soup poured on the meat looked delicious!
Xuan Yu took the plate and put it on the table. Seeing the braised pork, Lao Dao exclaimed, "What a nice smell!" He couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat and put it in the bowl. After untying the dragon grass rope, Lao Dao gently pinched the meat with chopsticks, breaking the skin, revealing the white fat under the skin that was about to turn into a pool of water.
After taking a bite, the meat tasted sweet but not choking. The best part was the layers of lean meat sandwiched between the fat. It was reddish in color and softened with the touch of chopsticks. Lao Dao felt the fat and lean meat melt in his mouth. When he stirred it with his tongue, the wonderful taste filled his entire mouth. He could eat three pieces of this kind of meat in one go!
Looking at the meatballs on the table, half of them were gone when Du Heng went to the stove to get some meat. The meat pie on the table was also missing a small half.
Feng Gui gnawed the ribs leisurely: "Well, not bad. No wonder Xiaoxiao pestered you to go back to the village." Xiaoxiao proudly raised her head and chirped at Du Heng twice. Du Heng was about to say something when Feng Gui said: "The matter of you nibbling Xiaoxiao's mouthful of fur is over now. I won't pick on you anymore."
Du Heng: ...Boss, do you still remember this? Xiaoxiao doesn't mind, but you do.
Xuan Yu picked up a piece of pork ribs for Du Heng with chopsticks and said: "Eat." But he said this to Feng Gui, who raised his eyebrows. Jing Nan whispered: "Didn't I tell you?" Feng Gui's golden eyes swept over Xuan Yu and Du Heng: "Yes, the old tree is blooming."
Du Heng: ??? Xuan Yu’s face turned red. He picked up a piece of meat pie for Du Heng: “Eat…”
Today's food is delicious, but it always feels like something is missing when so many grown men are together.
Feng Gui pondered for a moment and finally remembered: "I got a jar of fine wine from the Wine Fairy. Would you like to have a drink?" Hearing this, Du Heng suddenly remembered: "Oh, look at my memory!"
Du Heng had already thought about drinking, so he fried peanuts in advance. But later, he forgot about it because he was cooking. In addition to peanuts, he also prepared his 13,000 yuan bottle of spiritual wine.
It turned out that the small bottle of spirit wine was quite durable. Not only did it allow Du Heng to cook for such a long time, but they also drank it once in the middle.
Seeing Du Heng took out the spirit wine, Jing Nan's mouth twitched: "We can just drink the wine, you should just drink the soup honestly." Du Heng choked, he looked at Xiao Xiao guiltily: "Okay, I'll drink the soup. But you guys can do whatever you want!"
Is there any better snack than peanuts? The red-skinned peanuts are shiny and glossy after being fried. The tight red skin can hardly cover the kernels. The heat of the oil has cracked the red skin of many peanuts, revealing the white flesh inside. Sprinkle a little fine salt on the peanuts, and the red and white ones look particularly good.
Du Heng put the peanuts next to the kelp soup and scooped a bowl of soup. Jing Nan was chewing on the ribs and looked up suddenly: "You really drink the soup?" Du Heng smiled and said: "I'm feeding Da Huang something. You guys are eating, but Da Huang is still hungry."
Hun Yidao's hands trembled with emotion: "Thank you, thank you."
Du Heng casually put the bone that Jing Nan had gnawed off into the bowl and said, "Give the bone to Da Huang to gnaw."
Mixed Knife: ...
Jing Nan almost burst out laughing. He said to Hun Yidao, "Do you want to tell him the truth?" Hun Yidao covered his face and said, "No, no, I have to save my dignity."
Du Heng was confused: "Huh? What are you talking about?"
Du Heng was quite nice to Da Huang. He scooped a large bowl full of rice, poured pork rib soup on it, placed a meatball on top, and even put a piece of meat patty on the rice bowl.
Just as Du Heng was about to take the bowl out, Feng Gui picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl: "Take this for Hun Dun too."
Du Heng was stunned: "Huh? What?" Isn't it Da Huang? Who is Hun Dun?
Du Heng looked at Hun Yidao and quickly realized: "Oh~ So Da Huang's original name is Hun Dun. He is indeed the dog raised by Lao Dao. This is a good name."
As soon as the words fell, Jing Nan burst into laughter, and Feng Gui also laughed so hard that his body shook. Du Heng looked confused: "Did I say something wrong?"
Xuan Yu said with a straight face: "Yes, that's right, the yellow dog's name is Hun Dun, and the old knife's name is Hun Yi Dao, that's right." Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu strangely: "I know all of them, you don't need to repeat yourself. Why are you all so weird?"
Du Heng walked out of the kitchen with a question mark on his face. Jing Nan and the others laughed wildly from the door: "Lao Dao, you have come to this day!!" "You deserve it for not knowing the priorities." "Please spare me..."
The dishes Du Heng cooked were delicious. Xiaoxiao ate so much that the hair on her belly was covered with rice grains. Jingnan and the others drank wine and ate meat: "Oh, this is the most sumptuous meal we have had in all these years in the village, right?"
Feng Gui nodded, holding the wine glass, he saluted in the direction of Du Heng: "Cheers, Du Heng."
Du Heng was flattered: "These are just small things. If everyone likes it, I will make more delicious food in the future." Feng Gui stood up and took out a small plum blossom-shaped wine cup from his sleeve: "No one has ever refused my toast."
Du Heng could only accept the plum blossom wine cup with gratitude. As the clear wine poured into the cup, Du Heng felt that the air around him was hazy. Feng Gui's face was too perfect. When he spoke, Du Heng only saw his mouth opening and closing.
Feng Gui said: "Thank you for curing Xiao Xiao's picky eating disorder."
Du Heng was dizzy: "Of course I should." Du Heng picked up the wine glass and was about to pour it into his mouth. Xuan Yu's voice floated over: "Du Heng, you can't drink much, how about I help you drink it."
Du Heng shook his head repeatedly and smiled widely: "No, no, it's such a small cup, I can handle it!!"
Then...Du Heng lost consciousness.
When Du Heng woke up, he was holding a golden feather in his hand. The feather was long and gorgeous, even more gorgeous than the peacock feather that Du Heng had bought at the park for two yuan. The long feather was ten feet long and laid on the bed like a brilliant ribbon.
When Du Heng opened his eyes, he felt that the bedroom was much brighter than usual. He turned around and was almost blinded by the feather. He was a little dazed: "Huh?"
He grabbed the feather and waved it. The brocade-like feather sprinkled colorful light, like fireworks, so beautiful! Du Heng's eyes suddenly lit up. What happened? Did God give him such a beautiful feather?
Du Heng touched the feather, which felt warm and soft like fluffy catkins. Du Heng couldn't help but rub the feather twice. Where did such a beautiful feather come from? I have to frame it and hang it on the wall!
Du Heng looked at the sky outside and saw that it was gloomy and it looked like it was going to snow again. Du Heng put the feather beside him. He felt dizzy and closed his eyes again after a while.
At dawn the next day, Du Heng stood in front of the French window and looked out. Oh my god, it was snowing again. Thick snow covered the green in front of him, and all the vegetation was covered with a quilt overnight.
Jing Nan was walking in the snow outside the courtyard. When he saw Du Heng, he waved at him with a fake smile: "Are you awake? Come on down and let's settle the score."
Early in the morning, Feng Gui and Jing Nan sat in front of the main hall with gloomy faces. Du Heng looked at Feng Gui's face and felt that he seemed to have changed. Suddenly, Du Heng understood where Feng Gui had changed - Feng Gui changed his hairstyle! He had a little bangs overnight!
Of course, beauties look good with any hairstyle, and Du Heng couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Feng Gui clenched his fists: "Have you seen enough?" Du Heng nodded honestly: "Yeah."
Jing Nan bared his white teeth grimly: "Do you remember what you did?" Du Heng shook his head: "I didn't do anything?"
Xuan Yu tried to smooth things over: "It was you, Feng Gui, who asked him to drink. You can't blame him."
Du Heng was sensitive to the word "drinking", and his heart skipped a beat. He looked around fearfully, and Jing Nan asked, "What are you looking for?"
Du Heng said guiltily: "Did I...bit Xiaoxiao again?"
Jing Nan showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Congratulations, Xiaoxiao is safe and sound!" Du Heng was just about to relax a little when he heard Jing Nan say: "You didn't bite Xiaoxiao, you bit Fenggui. Did you see Fenggui's new hairstyle? You pulled it out."
Du Heng was confused: "Don't think you can fool me just because I'm not well educated. I don't know how to cut hair."
A stream of spiritual energy surged out of Feng Gui's hand, and the armchair next to him shattered: "Give me back my feathers!!"
Du Heng: ...Feathers? What the hell?
Du Heng quickly thought of the feather on his bed that he wanted to frame as a decoration. His expression froze. Feng Gui called that thing a feather? ? Oh my God, what good thing did he do yesterday?
35
Xuan Yu said calmly: "I reminded you not to joke with him." Jing Nan said: "Come on, if you really want to help, why didn't you hold him down when he was holding Feng Guiqin yesterday?"
Xuan Yu was still serious: "His cultivation is low, he can't stand using too much strength."
Feng Gui's eyes were almost blazing with fire: "You just plucked my favorite feather like that?" Du Heng's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. He looked at Xuan Yu for help: "Am I drunk and crazy?"
Xuan Yu nodded heavily: "I got drunk after drinking one glass."
Then he rushed towards Feng Gui, rubbed her, kissed her, and called her a beauty. He directly plucked away Feng Gui's phoenix feathers, and he plucked a lot of them! Feng Gui tried to grab them for a long time, but still couldn't get them from Du Heng, so he let him take away her favorite feather.
Jing Nan said: "This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that you destroyed my barrier. Did you see my spiritual plants? They were all buried in the snow." Du Heng glanced outside the house and immediately felt that he was deeply sinful.
His heart felt cold, as cold as the medicinal herbs field covered with ice and snow. He could already see himself being driven out of the village and begging on the streets in poverty in the demon world.
Du Heng almost burst into tears.
Xuan Yu added: "Wasn't it Feng Gui who broke your barrier? Just ask Feng Gui." Feng Gui gritted his teeth: "Xuan Yu, you are also responsible!" Xuan Yu said calmly: "It's not a big deal, just ask Jing Nan to fix it."
Du Heng was about to cry, his eyes were red: "I'm sorry, I will never drink again."
Jing Nan leaned over to take a look: "Ouch? Are you crying?"
Jing Nan walked up to Feng Gui and slapped her on the head: "It's all your fault. You made me cry." Feng Gui rubbed her hair: "Don't mess up my hair!"
Du Heng's tears welled up in his eyes. He choked and said, "I used to be able to drink a lot. I don't know why my alcohol tolerance has dropped since I came to the village. I'm sorry. I will find a way to make it up to you all."
Please don't drive me out of the village...
Xuan Yu patted Du Heng on the shoulder: "You don't need to compensate, you didn't do anything wrong." Du Heng shook his head: "But..."
Xuan Yu said: "I have already warned them that you can't drink much. It was Feng Gui who insisted on toasting you and made you drunk. He was also angry and broke Jing Nan's barrier. It has nothing to do with you."
Feng Gui and Jing Nan said coldly, "Look, why didn't we realize that he was so good at lying before?"
Du Heng felt upset: "But because of me..." He bit Xiaoxiao's head, plucked Fenggui's feathers, and caused Jingnan's spiritual field to be covered with snow. He felt that he had no face to stay here any longer.
He had only been in the village for a few days, but he had already offended the other two families in the village, and put Xuan Yu in an awkward position in the middle.
Feng Gui cleared his throat and said, "Okay, Xuan Yu is right. The matter of the barrier is really nothing. As for your frivolous behavior towards me... How about this, as long as you can let Xiao Xiao eat the larvae of the black-winged golden-tailed abyss butterfly, I will forgive you. How about that?"
Du Heng turned his head stiffly: "Is this possible?" Feng Gui sighed: "If it was someone else, I would have burned it to ashes yesterday. After all, you are from our village, and we will see each other every day in the future. If things get too awkward, Jing Nan and I will be embarrassed to come and eat for free."
Xuan Yu looked at the two of them with a warning: "Don't go too far." Feng Gui looked over fearlessly: "How did I go too far? Don't you know how serious it is to trample on my body?"
Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let me try." Du Heng looked at Jing Nan and asked, "What can I do for you?"
The barrier was broken and the spiritual plants were covered with snow. Many of them must have frozen to death. Du Heng felt very sorry for Jing Nan.
Jing Nan scratched his head and thought for a while: "Well...can you make braised pork for lunch?" Du Heng: ...Deal.
The demon cultivators in Yikeshu Village were so easy to talk to. If he had done something so serious in modern times, he would probably be put in jail, and before long, even sued. But here, the only thing he had to bear was coaxing the children to eat and making delicious food for them.
Du Heng felt that demon cultivators were much easier to deal with than humans.
Du Heng drank too much yesterday and he didn't know when Hun Yidao left. Du Heng saw that all the food cooked yesterday was gone in the kitchen, so he asked Xuan Yu, "Has everyone finished eating the food from yesterday's lunch?"
Xuan Yu thought for a moment and said, "I didn't finish it. I only ate half of it." Du Heng asked, "Then what?"
Xuan Yu said, "Then I heated it up and ate it at night." Du Heng was surprised: "You ate it by yourself?"
Xuan Yu said: "No, Jing Nan, Feng Gui, Xiao Xiao, Lao Dao and Da Huang ate it together."
Du Heng's mouth twitched: "This..." Didn't he say that he got drunk and ate Feng Gui? Feng Gui was angry and broke the barrier, but they still sat together to heat up the food in the evening? ? Du Heng couldn't quite understand the train of thought of the demon cultivator.
Xuan Yu said calmly: "Arguing does not affect eating. Only when the activity starts can we consume spiritual energy and eat more."
Du Heng: ...Fuck you...
After the barrier was broken, the valley was covered with snow. When Du Heng woke up, the heavy snow was still continuing. By noon, the snow on the ground was already half a meter thick.
The originally lush spiritual plants were pressed down by the snow, and the previously obstructed vision suddenly became wider. In the snow, only a few spiritual plants that Jing Nan had added restrictions to were still standing well, and the rest of the place was white.
From green to white, all that was left was a phoenix to break the barrier. Du Heng suddenly felt a little regretful that he didn't see the way Feng Gui got angry yesterday. He thought about the length of the feather and asked Xuan Yu in confusion: "Xuan Yu, where did the feather I pulled grow on Feng Gui?"
Such long hair, ten feet long, one foot is three meters and three centimeters long, wow...what kind of chicken can grow such a long tail? Did Du Heng pluck the hair on Feng Gui's butt yesterday? But that's not right, if he was plucking the hair on the butt, why did Feng Gui's hairstyle change?
Xuan Yu said, "It's the feathers on the top of the head." Du Heng was confused: "Did Feng Gui also get drunk yesterday? Otherwise, why would he reveal his true form?" Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng deeply and said nothing.
Du Heng was too embarrassed to ask, he must have done nothing good.
Just when Du Heng was cleaning the kitchen, Xiao Xiao came into the yard covered in snow. He flew towards Du Heng with a chirp, and Du Heng stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Xiao: "Xiao Xiao~ I'm sorry for yesterday, I was drunk."
Xiaoxiao laughed softly, and rubbed Du Heng's chest several times before reluctantly getting out of his arms. Du Heng felt that Xiaoxiao was very light today, and for some reason, she felt several times lighter than usual when he held her in his hand.
Xiaoxiao squatted on a chair next to the dining table and took out some chicken crisps from his storage bag and ate them. He stared at Du Heng and said, "Chirp?" Xuan Yu translated, "Xiaoxiao asked what to eat for lunch."
Du Heng said with a smile: "You are eating right now, but you are still thinking about what's in the pot." Xiaoxiao chirped twice in dissatisfaction. Du Heng looked at the snow outside the yard and said: "I promised Jingnan to make braised pork at noon, but I think barbecue is a good choice in this weather."
Xuan Yu said: "Then let's make braised pork for Jingnan, and then eat barbecue." Adults never make choices, he wants all.
Du Heng had not had time to clean up the prey that Lao Dao brought yesterday, so he took advantage of the snow to take it out and take a look at it. He would pickle what needed to be pickled and roast what needed to be roasted.
You won’t know until you see it. Du Heng was shocked to find that the storage bag was full of prey, the amount of which was staggering.
With the help of Xuan Yu, he opened the storage bag in the yard and found eight mountain goblins, ten earth moles, and three huge beasts that looked like cows.
Du Heng had never seen so much meat before. He even suspected that Lao Dao had killed all the game in the mountains.
Xuan Yu also said considerately: "I have cleaned up the internal organs for you separately, and shaved the hair on the skin. See if there is anything wrong with the cleaning."
Du Heng gave Xuan Yu a thumbs up and said, "Great, you did a great job." The bones and meat were separated, and the meat pieces were cut into sizes that Du Heng could handle.
Xuan Yu smiled faintly: "As long as you think it's good." Du Heng picked and chose from the mountain of meat. Finally, he picked out half a mountain gourd, took the pork belly on it, and half a mole, which could be used to grill lamb skewers later.
In addition, there is the Kuiniu, which I have never come into contact with. I heard that the voice of this kind of cow is as loud as a bell. If you peel off its skin and make a drum, it can shock people.
But Du Heng only thought of braised beef and boiled beef when he saw the pieces of shank meat. He decided to boil water and braise a pot of beef now!

He had only been here for a few days and had gone crazy twice, but he had already advanced to the third level? Who would believe it if he told others?
If everyone in the world could advance to a higher level by drinking a glass of wine, then why would they need to practice so hard? Du Heng thought that what happened to him was too absurd. But since he could travel through time, it was not difficult to accept that he could advance to a higher level by getting drunk.

If you want to make barbecue, charcoal fire is indispensable, but it is freezing cold. Even if Du Heng has the wood-attracting talisman, it will take time to make charcoal for barbecue.
Besides, Du Heng had never made charcoal. In the era when he lived in, charcoal was made by special people and you just had to buy it.
Xuan Yu saw that Du Heng was a little depressed, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?
