How powerful are roast duck and roast rabbit? Du Heng only knew that within two sticks of incense after he put the roast duck and roast rabbit in the oven, people in the village were already peeking out from outside the yard.
The bold ones, like Jing Nan and Feng Gui, have walked around the furnace several times. The more reserved ones, like Lao Dao and Yun Zheng, have looked at the furnace furtively for hundreds of times.
Du Heng saw the reactions of the group of people and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."
Feng Gui was dissatisfied: "Why is this oven so slow? Do you want me to add more fire?"
Just as Feng Gui was preparing to perform a spell, Xuan Yu held Feng Gui's hand and said, "With your anger, none of us will be able to eat lunch today."
Burned by Feng Gui's demonic fire, I'm afraid that the roasted rabbit and roasted duck will be completely destroyed. Du Heng felt that the monsters around him were staring at the oven with green eyes. He began to feel terrified. If he continued to roast the roasted duck and roasted rabbit, would these monsters forcefully break into the oven and eat the unroasted duck and roasted rabbit?
Du Heng's consideration was unnecessary, the monsters' self-control was much better than he imagined.
The time to roast the rabbit is relatively short, it only takes three incense sticks to be done, but you need to take it out and brush it with oil halfway through. The rabbit is quite dry, and if you don't brush it with oil, the roasted rabbit will be rather woody.
Xuan Yu made a rotating grill, on which hung five ducks, three rabbits, and five small roast chickens. When Du Heng took out the rabbits and turned them over to brush them with oil, he felt the surrounding demon cultivators suddenly gather together, and his paw holding the brush was shaking.
Roast duck is much better. Roast duck is fatter and can be rotated while roasting. Du Heng does not need to turn it over frequently. However, roast duck takes more than half an hour and will be out of the oven later than rabbit.
When Du Heng placed the roasted rabbit on a large bamboo plate, the demon cultivators were all excited: "It's ready!" "This is the only roasted rabbit in history! Not to mention eating it, even smelling it is a pleasure!"
The roasted rabbit had a golden skin, and the meat on the edge was slightly browned. Du Heng poked the rabbit with chopsticks, and the chopsticks penetrated the rabbit meat smoothly. Du Heng smiled and said, "It's time to eat!"
His dining table was full of people. The originally square table had been opened to become round. In the middle of the round table was a golden rabbit, lying on the plate with its limbs stretched out. At first glance, it was all meat.
Du Heng said, "Do you need me to help you chop up the rabbit?"
After chopping it into small pieces, it is easier to eat, but the pleasure of eating it this way is far less than that of tearing it by hand.
Xuan Yu took out a rabbit and said, "Chop this one and let them tear the other two apart by hand." Xuan Yu looked at Jing Nan and said, "Old Nan, you tear them apart."
Jing Nan took a peanut and smashed it on Xuan Yu's forehead: "Don't call me Lao Nan, how am I old?"
Although Jing Nan had his objections, he stood up obediently. He cleared his throat and saluted in a pretentious manner: "My fellow Taoists, I'm sorry!"
As Jing Nan spoke, a light flashed in his hand, and the half-human-high rabbit broke into pieces in Jing Nan's hands and turned into tempting irregular pieces of meat.
Yun Zheng and Lao Dao took the portion they liked and devoured it. The spicy rabbit tasted fragrant and chewy. As they chewed carefully, they could taste the texture of the rabbit meat.
I don't know if it's because the rabbit itself is tender or Du Heng seasoned it properly, but the rabbit doesn't have any grassy smell at all. The skin is crispy on the outside and the gravy on the inside is still flowing. If you pair it with a little wine at this time, it will be really enjoyable!
But Jing Nan, the person who distributed the food, was very reserved. He only pinched the rabbit meat without the pepper inside and chewed it carefully. While eating, he nodded: "Well, I can accept this taste."
Feng Gui tore off a piece of rabbit meat covered with chili peppers and placed it in front of Jing Nan: "What's the point of eating the meat inside? If you have the guts, eat this."
Jing Nan was furious: "Take it away from me!"
This immortal cannot eat spicy food, which is somewhat similar to Du Heng.
Eating only roasted rabbit would be a bit monotonous, but after roasted rabbit, roasted duck also made its grand debut. The roasted red ducks lay on the plate, attracting everyone's attention with their roasted aroma.
Du Heng put the roast duck on the chopping board next to the pool. Originally, he should have performed a duck slicer at this time. But he was not up to the task. Sorry, everyone, he didn't know how to slice a duck.
Although Du Heng didn't know how to do it, he had seen others fillet ducks! He had a strong assistant. Du Heng whispered to Xuan Yu for a while, and Xuan Yu nodded and picked up the sharp kitchen knife.
The roast duck was greasy, especially the skin on the breast. It snapped as soon as the knife touched it, and it was actually roasted crispy! Xuan Yu raised his knife and a piece of crispy skin on the duck breast fell onto the chopping board.
Xuan Yu cut the duck skin into slices with a few clicks. The skin on the duck breast was only eaten by the rich in ancient times, and it had to be dipped in sugar when eaten. At that time, people's living conditions were poor, and being able to eat a mouthful of oil was the supreme enjoyment. If it was dipped in sugar, the oil and sugar would melt in the mouth... It was really an emperor-level treatment.
However, Du Heng did not like this way of eating. In his time, the material conditions were already very rich. Everyone tended to eat healthier. Only the older generation liked eating with a mouthful of oil. Du Heng preferred to eat spring pancakes wrapped in sweet noodle sauce. Or he would just throw it into his mouth without dipping it in anything, just like eating a piece of oil residue, and chewing it would fill his mouth with fragrance.
Xuan Yu sliced off the skin on the duck breast and put it on a plate. Du Heng took the plate and put it on the table. He said, "This can be eaten with sugar or sweet noodle sauce!"
He has already told everyone how to eat it, why not let everyone try it for themselves?
Everyone cheered and raised their chopsticks. Xiaoxiao didn't have chopsticks, but he stretched his neck quickly and took several pieces of duck breast skin into his mouth. When Du Heng looked at him, Xiaoxiao was squinting his eyes and chewing the duck skin with a crunching sound, his little wings were shaking with pride.
Xuan Yu was still slicing a duck by the pond. When Du Heng came over, Xuan Yu said to him, "Open your mouth."
Du Heng opened his mouth and felt something warm and slightly hard stuffed in it. He chewed it and realized it was duck skin!
Xuan Yu asked Du Heng slowly: "Is it delicious?" Du Heng nodded: "Delicious!"
Du Heng picked up a piece of duck skin from the chopping board and put it into Xuan Yu's mouth: "Is it delicious?" Xuan Yu nodded affirmatively: "Delicious!"
After the duck skin on the duck breast was eaten, the duck breast and the remaining duck skin made a grand appearance. Xuan Yu was fast and not afraid of the heat, and the sliced duck meat was placed on the plate like a flower.
Du Heng felt sorry for Xuan Yu, and after Xuan Yu had sliced three bowls of meat, he asked Xuan Yu to stop and eat for a while. Xuan Yu said calmly, "It's okay, I'll finish slicing soon."
Du Heng had no choice but to roll a roast duck roll and give it to Xuan Yu. The roast duck roll wrapped with duck meat, cucumber and sweet noodle sauce was full of fragrance. If you don't bite it too hard, the rich juice will even fall from the roast duck roll.
Xuan Yu ate a mouthful of delicious food and said with satisfaction, "It's delicious."
Although he usually said this, today his words were full of satisfaction. Du Heng felt that Xuan Yu really liked eating roast duck. It seemed that he could make more roast duck in the future. He would slowly discover the things Xuan Yu liked to eat one by one.
Roast duck meat is delicious when eaten alone. If it is paired with cucumber strips and sweet noodle sauce, and then wrapped with a layer of spring rolls, it can be eaten as a staple food!
Jing Nan was finally satisfied. This meal was delicious. Even he, who doesn't like spicy food, could enjoy it so much! Jing Nan greedily rolled another roast duck roll. This time he put a lot of roast duck meat and sweet noodle sauce on it. He took a bite with great pleasure, and the hair on his body almost exploded with happiness.
This made Xiaoxiao very anxious. Xiaoxiao had no hands, and seeing everyone eating roast duck rolls, he wanted to eat it too. He struggled for a long time but couldn't eat a complete roast duck roll.
Just when Xiaoxiao was about to get angry, a jade-like hand appeared in front of him. Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that it was his uncle! !
Feng Gui said sincerely: "Don't bother, I'll help you roll it."
The roast duck roll in Feng Gui's hand was stuffed full of duck meat and wrapped with green cucumber in the middle!
Xiaoxiao was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He opened his mouth and was about to eat. Fenggui said, "Eat it in one gulp. Don't spill it everywhere."
Xiaoxiao opened her mouth wider again, and Fenggui smiled and stuffed the roast duck roll into Xiaoxiao's mouth. What a picture of a loving uncle and a filial nephew! What a picture of a beautiful woman feeding birds! Du Heng was moved when he saw it!
However, Xiaoxiao suddenly choked after chewing for a few times. He suddenly opened his mouth and spit on the ground: "Pooh..."
Xiaoxiao chewed the roast duck roll on the ground into pieces, and Du Heng saw that there were peppercorns inside the roast duck roll! It was amazing, where did Feng Gui get so many peppercorns?
Xiaoxiao's tears still fell, not because of grievance, but because he was numbed by the pepper. He cried and fell into Du Heng's arms, accusing his uncle of his bad behavior.
Feng Gui laughed out loud with his hands in his pockets. Instead of feeling guilty for having played a prank on his nephew, he felt a special sense of accomplishment.
Du Heng sighed. He really wanted to lift the plate and throw it at Feng Gui's face. Why bother the child?
However, Du Heng couldn't beat Feng Gui, so he could only sit on the chair with Xiao Xiao in his arms. He made a big roast duck roll for Xiao Xiao, and put a lot of sweet noodle sauce and crispy cucumber strips in it.
Du Heng patted Xiaoxiao on the back and said, "Come, have some roast duck rolls."
Xiaoxiao happily turned around and swallowed the roast duck roll in one bite. He ate it with a slurp, his eyes sparkling. The roast duck roll was really delicious! Xiaoxiao fell in love with the taste!
After Xuan Yu had sliced the duck, he sat on a chair. Seeing Du Heng rolling a roast duck roll for Xiao Xiao, he reached out and rolled one for Du Heng as well. He handed it to Du Heng: "Try it?"
Du Heng took a bite and found the freshly roasted duck delicious, with crispy skin and hot meat. He never gets tired of it!
But if you keep eating it, you will still get tired of it. At this time, another way to eat roast duck comes into being.
Chonghua sat facing the stove. He saw steam coming out of the pot, so he asked curiously, "What's cooking in the pot?"
Du Heng said with a smile: "Duck bone soup~"
He had five duck racks, so he took one out to cook soup while waiting for the next one to make salt and pepper duck rack. He also had three duck racks left to be used for future delicious dishes. Although they were only duck racks, there was still a lot of meat left on them!
86
Duck bone soup is actually very versatile. If you add vegetables such as winter melon and radish, it can become a delicious thick soup. If you add rice or something like that, it can make a delicious porridge soup.
Du Heng was going to throw a handful of green vegetables in it. The green vegetables that had been frosted and snowed tasted sweet and could help relieve the greasiness. The duck bones were cooked over high heat until the soup was milky white, and Du Heng added some pepper powder.
After he threw the vegetables in and cooked them until they were wilted, he added a little fine salt to the pot. Dark green vegetables floated on the milky white duck bone soup, and dots of light golden oil bloomed among the vegetables. Du Heng put a large bowl of duck bone soup on the table: "Come on, drink some soup to relieve the greasiness."
Jing Nan scooped a bowl of soup with a spoon. He took a sip. It was fresh and refreshing! He drank half a bowl in one breath and let out a long sigh of relief: "So satisfied."
The boiling hot soup flowed from his mouth and tongue into his stomach, suppressing the greasy feeling brought by the roast rabbit and roast duck. He felt that he could eat a few more roast duck rolls.
Feng Gui was eating from his bowl and looking at what was in the pot. He asked, "I saw you roasting a chicken just now."
Look, this immortal hasn’t even finished the roast duck in front of him, but he’s already thinking about the roast chicken. He is so greedy.
Du Heng asked quietly, "I'll take out the roast chicken now, can you finish it?"
Feng Gui showed his white teeth: "I can't finish it, but I'm happy to have a bite."
Du Heng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "No, I can't let you get tired of eating. Bring one thing after another, no one can eat what's in the bowl and occupy what's in the pot."
Du Heng was worried that if he served all the barbecue, the monsters would get tired of it and never want to eat it again. Everything should be eaten in moderation. No matter how delicious the food is, it will not taste good if they keep eating it.
In fact, Du Heng felt that the three rabbits and five roast ducks on the table were too much for this group of demon cultivators to finish.
Du Heng's guess was right. The demon cultivators ate with their cheeks puffed up, but they only ate one and a half of the roasted rabbit. There was still one and a half rabbits left, and they couldn't eat any more. The roast duck meat was eaten, but there were still some spring rolls left.
Xiaoxiao drank up all the duck bone soup, and the lunch ended quite satisfactorily.
After dinner, Du Heng put the roasted rabbit in the refrigerator. It would still be delicious if he took it out and heated it up next time. The formation in the kitchen automatically cleaned the table and stove, and the kitchen was clean again.
The monsters, who had eaten their fill, slumped in their chairs, touching their bellies and burping. A cup of tea would have been perfect for them at this time.
As he was talking, Du Heng placed a large wooden jar in front of everyone. A sweet and sour smell came out of the jar. Xiaoxiao's eyes widened when she smelled it: "Chirp?"
Du Heng smiled and brought a bowl to Xiaoxiao. He used a wooden spoon to scoop a spoonful of water into the bowl in front of Xiaoxiao. The water was golden yellow, and there were strands of slightly transparent things as long as fingernails in it, which looked like fruit pulp.
Jing Nan sniffed: "Is this... the taste of grapefruit?"
Du Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's honey grapefruit tea!"
On the first day Du Heng made bacon, Jing Nan gave him a lot of big grapefruits. According to Jing Nan, the grapefruits looked big, but they tasted sour and had many seeds, so Xiao Xiao was not happy to eat them. Later, when Du Heng made bacon, he consumed a lot of grapefruit peels and left the pulp inside.
Taking advantage of the good weather in the past few days, he took out the pulp and mixed it with sugar and honey to make honey grapefruit tea. The finished product is just as you can see. It tastes sour and sweet, and Xiaoxiao can't put it down.
Jing Nan also poured a cup and tasted it. After just one sip, he smiled and said, "It tastes good. Can this thing be eaten like this?"
Du Heng took out a few small wooden jars sealed with oil paper and tied with hemp rope. He pushed the jars to Jing Nan and Feng Gui and said, "Xuan Yu and I made these. Can you take some home to try? If you like them, I have a lot more."
Not only Jing Nan and Feng Gui had a share, but even Lao Dao and the others had a share. The rough and heroic Lao Dao drank grapefruit tea and felt that his breath was sweet with honey. It tasted good!
Du Heng said: "The honey grapefruit tea in the jar is concentrated. You need to drink it with warm water. Don't forget it."
If you meet a fool who directly opens the lid and drinks the concentrated fruit juice inside, I'm afraid your teeth will be sore for a few days.
Feng Gui and the others accepted Du Heng's grapefruit tea with satisfaction, and even Xiaoxiao was busy stuffing his jar of tea into his storage bag.
Xuan Yu put down the tea in his hand and said, "I'll go and deal with the entrails of the beast."
After dealing with the beast in the morning, he piled the viscera in a wooden basin. Now that he had finished his meal, he finally found time to slowly cook this thing.
Du Heng followed Xuan Yu's steps and walked into the yard. There was a large wooden basin in the southeast corner of the yard. Du Heng looked out and saw that the viscera of eight rabbits filled most of the basin, with dark green intestines, hearts, livers, etc.
Rabbits are animals that can eat and poop, and their intestines account for a particularly large proportion of their internal organs! Looking at the half-basin of internal organs, Du Heng hesitated: "So much..."
Xuan Yu said: "I can clean them out, you can identify them and see if there are any parts that cannot be eaten."
Du Heng looked at the rabbit's intestines and scratched his cheek in annoyance. "When I was in my hometown, the rabbits I bought were all bare rabbit meat, but I didn't touch the internal organs. But I don't think rabbits are poisonous."
Weren’t the poisonous mountain gypsum viscera still used by Du Heng to make sausages?
Xuan Yu said, "Everything has a first time. Why don't I try to clean out the internal organs? It won't be too wasteful."
Du Heng nodded: "Will it be too much trouble for you?"
Xuan Yu said calmly: "There is no need to say these things between you and me, and there is nothing to do this afternoon. I will start to clean up first. If I encounter something I don't understand, I will ask you."
Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "There are scent glands near the rabbit's buttocks, and the smell is unpleasant. Just discard the part you have processed."
Du Heng raised rabbits when he was a child, and he knew that rabbits have scent glands.
Xuan Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll deal with what I can handle first."
What can be processed are naturally the hearts and livers that are visible and easy to process. The hearts and livers of eight rabbits filled a full basket. They were rosy and looked pretty good.
Jing Nan put his hands in his pockets and looked at the liver in the basket. He sneered, "It's obviously a scam. The liver is not black."
He thought that the heart of the evil beast was black, otherwise how could it have the heart to deceive these kind and lovely big monsters?
The hard part was naturally the rabbit's stomach and intestines. The intestines Xuan Yu had taken out filled up half of the barrel. When Jing Nan saw Xuan Yu was going to deal with the intestines, his face changed and he ran away.
When the big monsters saw Xuan Yu was going to deal with the intestines, even Lao Dao changed his expression. After a while, only Du Heng was left in the kitchen. Du Heng looked at the monster cultivators who were running away and said, "Is it so hard to accept? When I watched Animal World, those wolves, tigers and leopards especially liked to eat the intestines of animals."
Xuan Yu explained: "Those are probably monsters. Only monsters and animals without spiritual intelligence would eat other animals' intestines alive. Monster cultivators are usually very particular about what they say."
For example, Feng Gui. No matter how busy this guy is, he takes a bath and burns incense every day. His scent always smells delicious no matter when.
Xuan Yu's hands suddenly lit up. With the help of spiritual energy, he was not in a very awkward position when dealing with the intestines. Xuan Yu said to Du Heng slowly, "You go in first. I'll call you out after I'm done."
Du Heng entered the kitchen. He was fascinated by Xuan Yu who was rummaging in a wooden barrel in the yard. He said, "What a good man. I wonder which girl he will marry to."
After sighing a few times, Du Heng quickly remembered what he wanted to do. He wanted to roast melon seeds and peanuts, make fried rice candy and candied haws and the like!
Most of the melon seeds in the Zhou family shop are used to feed the Feathered Tribe. The Feathered Tribe all love to eat melon seeds. Many of the spirit beasts they raise will carry a few bags of raw melon seeds with them, and when the spirit beasts are disobedient, the Zhou family will take out a few handfuls of melon seeds to coax them.
When Du Heng saw the melon seeds in Zhou's shop, his eyes lit up. He immediately bought a large bag of melon seeds, a full 50 kilograms! Not only that, he also bought more than 20 kilograms of raw melon seeds.
That's how heavy the melon seeds were when the Zhou brothers weighed them for him. Du Heng now understands that the melon seeds he actually bought might be 1.6 times heavier than he thought.
Du Heng took the melon seeds out of the refrigerator. There was a layer of fine white hair on the plump raw melon seeds. After frying, the hair would fade away.
Roasting melon seeds is a technical job. Du Heng used to roast melon seeds on the stall. There is a machine specially used for roasting melon seeds on the stall. Black sand is placed in the machine, so that the roasted melon seeds are evenly heated and not easy to burn.
Du Heng couldn't find any black sand, and all he had was an iron pot. This was a test of his skills, so Du Heng took out two bowls of melon seeds for testing. As long as the first pot was successful, he thought he should be able to fry the rest of the melon seeds smoothly.
The iron pot was heated to medium heat, and Du Heng poured plump melon seeds into the pot. The melon seeds made a rustling sound after entering the pot, and a roasted smell came from the pot.
Du Heng used a spatula to stir the melon seeds evenly. He could only judge whether the melon seeds were cooked by the taste in his memory. After frying for a cup of tea, some of the melon seeds in the pot made a crackling sound, and Du Heng smelled the scent of melon seeds.
Looking at the pot at this time, even though he tried so hard to stir-fry, the melon seeds were still slightly burnt. It seemed that without professional tools, it was really difficult for him to fry the melon seeds with beautiful skin!
Du Heng put the melon seeds in the pot into a colander. The melon seeds in the colander were scalding hot, and some of them were still crackling from the heat. Du Heng put the fried melon seeds on a stool under the eaves of the corridor. He looked at the melon seeds in the colander with some frustration: "Xuan Yu, I seem to have flipped over."
Xuan Yu was cleaning his intestines: "Hmm? What car?"
Du Heng explained: "Flipping means I did something wrong. I wanted to stir-fry melon seeds, but failed."
Xuan Yu comforted him: "If it didn't work, then it didn't work. Just try again."
Du Heng was a little troubled: "In the past, the melon seeds I bought were all cooked, so I could just eat them directly after buying them. It's really troublesome to fry the melon seeds!"
Xuan Yu said slowly, "There are places in Lingxi Town that can fry melon seeds, but the fried melon seeds are for the spirit beasts. If we really can't fry them, we can go to the town tomorrow morning and give the melon seeds to others to help process them."
Du Heng was still a little depressed: "But I want to fry it myself, but I'm afraid the seeds will get mushy or the inside will be undercooked. Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Xuan Yu said: "In fact, you can ask Xiaoxiao for help. Xiaoxiao eats a lot of melon seeds. He can tell whether the seeds are ripe or not by just standing by the edge of the pot and sniffing them."
Du Heng's eyes lit up. Is this okay? He wanted to borrow Xiaoxiao!

Du Heng knocked on the gate of Feng Gui's yard. This was the first time he took the initiative to come to Feng Gui's house after he came to the village. The main reason was that Feng Gui's house looked too luxurious, and Du Heng felt pressured when he passed by his door.
The courtyard door opened, and the dignified lady stood behind the door. Du Heng was a little nervous, and he said, "I'm looking for Xiaoxiao."
Upon hearing this, the female historian stepped aside, and after Du Heng entered the yard, the female historian walked in front of him. When he first came to Feng Gui's house, Xuan Yu said that these female historians were puppets.
Du Heng looked at the lady's back. To be honest, he felt that her steps were no different from those of a real person. She walked in a swaying manner, and judging from her appearance, you really couldn't tell that she was a puppet.
The female historian led Du Heng through the main hall. Last time Xuan Yu led him from the left, this time the female historian walked to the right. There was a huge palace complex on the right. Standing outside the courtyard, it didn't feel like it, but standing inside, you could feel how big Feng Guijia was. Du Heng felt that if no one led him, he would get lost.
The courtyard of Feng Gui's house was paved with golden tiles, but the texture did not look like gold. Du Heng felt trembling when walking on them, fearing that he would accidentally fall and break the tiles. Of course, if Du Heng's thoughts were known by Feng Gui and others, they would laugh at Du Heng's ignorance.
After passing the main hall, Du Heng saw a vermilion corridor, outside which hundreds of flowers were blooming. Waves of rich fragrance were refreshing, and Du Heng couldn't help but take a deep breath. He couldn't help but sigh, Feng Gui really knows how to enjoy himself, he has collected all the beautiful scenery in the yard.
Du Heng took a casual look and saw no less than a hundred kinds of flowers in the yard. It was icy and snowy outside, but the house was full of life. This was very similar to Jing Nan's house, except that Jing Nan's house was full of fruit trees and spiritual plants, while Feng Gui's house was full of flowers.
Thinking of Xuan Yu's yard again, Du Heng couldn't help but shed a tear. At present, the only spiritual plant in Xuan Yu's yard was the bamboo that Chonghua dug up. It was a small and thin one, so pitiful.
Du Heng was lost in thought when the lady suddenly stopped. She stopped at the passage leading to the garden. After stopping, she stood beside the passage in a dignified manner.
Du Heng looked at the lady's face and asked, "Is this... already here?"
The lady didn't say anything, and Du Heng couldn't figure out what was going on. He could only follow the path of laughter in the garden and walk into the depths of the flowers.
The garden of Feng Gui's house was very large, and the large flowers blocked Du Heng's sight as he walked among the flowers. Du Heng looked at the blue bricks on the ground and walked towards the depths of the flowers. After walking a few steps, he stopped.
Look, what did he find? A field of large gray-white mushrooms! !
Du Heng squatted beside the mushroom. He looked left and right. There was only the sound of the breeze blowing through the heavy branches. In Du Heng's eyes, the bright peony rose was not as good as the big mushroom growing in the grass! ! If the flowers in the garden could transform, they would probably spit out blood three feet away.
The mushrooms in the grass were grayish white, some had already opened, and some still had their smooth umbrella-like heads. The mushrooms were quite large, one was as big as half a basin.
Du Heng recognized this mushroom. This mushroom was called "fighting cock" by Du Heng's grandmother. It was a kind of chicken mushroom. Unlike ordinary chicken mushrooms that grow in clumps, this kind of chicken mushroom usually does not grow densely.
The cockfighting roosters in front of Du Heng were also scattered one by one, like small gray-white umbrellas in the green grass. Because of their large size, they looked like a piece of land.
Du Heng laughed, what luck it is to be able to find mushrooms in this season!
Just when Du Heng was struggling over whether to go find Xiaoxiao or Mushroom first, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Yun Zheng looking at Du Heng in surprise.
Du Heng looked at Yun Zheng with sparkling eyes. Yun Zheng was sweating profusely. "Du...Mr. Du? What's wrong with you?"
Du Heng was very excited: "Can I pick this mushroom?"
Yun Zheng nodded hesitantly: "It should be possible, right? But this just has a smell, and there is no spiritual energy..."
Du Heng was so happy that he said, "I'm going to pick mushrooms later. By the way, where's Xiaoxiao?"
Yun Zheng said, "Mr. Xiao Feng is studying in the front. Shall I take Mr. Du there?"
Du Heng stared at the fighting cocks reluctantly. He had already thought of the menu for tonight - fighting cocks stewed with chickens, fighting cocks fried with sea duck eggs, fighting cocks... slurp...
Du Heng didn't remember how many rockeries he had walked around. He only remembered the cockfighting cocks growing bigger and bigger among the green grass. When he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of Feng Gui.
Xiaoxiao was sitting on a chair with a sad face. On the table in front of her was a book that was thicker than her head. There was also a bamboo slip that was bigger than Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao sighed. She had a cute round face, but now it looked like a bitter gourd.
Seeing Du Heng coming, Xiao Xiao stared at him with resentment, and Du Heng saw the tears rolling in Xiao Xiao's eyes. It's so miserable, the exploited chicken cubs are so miserable, they have no rights!
In stark contrast to Xiaoxiao's bitter and resentful expression, Fenggui was lying in a recliner, squinting his eyes. Fenggui tapped the armrest of the recliner with his slender fingers and said slowly, "Keep reading, don't stop."
Xiaoxiao continued to chirp at the bamboo slips. Fenggui opened his eyes and looked at Du Heng: "Hmm? Are you looking for Xiaoxiao?"
Du Heng said: "I want to fry melon seeds, but I can't tell whether they are raw or cooked. Xuan Yu said Xiaoxiao can tell the difference..."
Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately, and Feng Gui said calmly: "Xiaoxiao is studying now, and it will take another hour to finish."
Du Heng looked at Xiao Xiao sympathetically and said, "Then I'll come back in an hour?"
Feng Gui stood up and said, "I'll go, Feng Lin, you should study hard and don't be lazy."
Xiaoxiao looked at Du Heng pitifully, then resigned herself to her fate and continued chirping at the book.
Du Heng was dumbfounded: "Hey? Feng Gui you go? Can you do it too?"
Feng Gui put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "What can Feng Lin do that I don't know?"
Du Heng nodded in understanding. Yes, this great immortal crushed Xiaoxiao in all aspects. Feng Gui stood up and straightened her clothes, and immediately a fragrant breeze filled the air: "Let's go, didn't we say fried melon seeds?"
Du Heng quickly followed: "Okay, okay."
He looked back at Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao met his eyes. Du Heng made a gesture of encouragement to Xiaoxiao, and he said to her with his lips: "I'll make you something delicious tonight."
Xiaoxiao suddenly became excited, and his chirping sounds became louder!
Feng Gui looked back with amusement, and he said slowly, "Let's go."
Du Heng remembered something important: "Feng Gui Feng Gui, can I pick the mushrooms in your yard?"
Feng Gui looked at Du Heng in surprise: "What do you need that for?" He paused and said: "Okay, if you like, pick it yourself. But you are not allowed to disturb Feng Lin's study."
Du Heng understood: "Of course, or I can pick them later."
Feng Gui thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Chonghua to send it to you later, so that Feng Lin won't be distracted when he sees you here."
Du Heng thought this was fine, and he responded happily, "Okay, okay!"
Du Heng followed Feng Gui to his yard, where Xuan Yu was still cleaning the internal organs. Feng Gui was disgusted: "Just throw that thing away, isn't that enough meat to eat?"
Xuan Yu said seriously: "Don't waste it."
Feng Gui shrugged and strode into the kitchen.
Du Heng said to Xuan Yu happily: "Xuan Yu, Xuan Yu, do you know what I saw at Feng Gui's house just now?"
Xuan Yu asked in a good-tempered manner: "What did you see?"
Du Heng said in surprise: "I saw a lot of mushrooms. Let me tell you, they are delicious. I will make mushroom soup for you tonight! I guarantee you will want more!"
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Okay."
Du Heng squatted beside Xuan Yu: "Are you tired? Do you want some tea? I'll pour you a cup of tea."
Xuan Yu smiled and shook his head: "I'm not tired, I'll be done soon."
After Du Heng talked to Xuan Yu for a few words, he walked towards the kitchen. But as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was stunned.
Feng Gui was standing by the stove wearing a white fox fur coat. The large bag of melon seeds that Du Heng had taken out was now empty. Feng Gui put them all into the pot. It was as if a whirlwind was stirring the melon seeds in the pot. A vortex appeared in the center of the pot, and the melon seeds around it kept flowing from the edge to the vortex.
Du Heng was stunned and said: "Feng Gui, what are you doing..."
Feng Gui looked at Du Heng suspiciously and said, "Fried melon seeds? You can't tell the difference between raw and cooked ones, right? I'll fry them for you."
No... Boss, can you also fry melon seeds? ?
Du Heng stood behind Feng Gui and felt like his face was about to crack.
His original intention was to have Feng Gui give him some technical guidance like Xiao Xiao did. Of course, Feng Gui couldn't squat on the stove like Xiao Xiao did, but he could stand next to it.
In the picture in Du Heng's mind, he should be holding a spatula and frying melon seeds, while Feng Gui is behind him, giving instructions like a hermit: "Well, it's cooked."
The current scene was beyond Du Heng's imagination. Who could have thought that Feng Gui would fry melon seeds? ?
This scene was like Du Heng seeing the world's richest man washing dishes, extremely terrifying.

Du Heng pricked up his ears: "Huh?"
Feng Gui said: "I can't afford to buy things from outside, and I can't bring myself to go out to mine, so I always pick up things that others don't want and come back to fool people. My skills are terrible, the melon seeds I fry are either mushy or raw, and every time I am told that they are fried just right, but every time they taste terrible."
Du Heng scratched his cheek: "Haha, who are these people? What happened next?"
Feng Gui said: "Later I learned how to fry melon seeds."
Du Heng nodded: "Well, do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing."
Feng Gui said: "I always wanted to let him taste my cooking skills one day, but I practiced for a long time and he didn't come back."
Du Heng was stunned: "Huh? Where are they?"
Feng Gui looked at the pot with a lonely look. After a long while, Feng Gui said, "He is dead. Why is he so dead?"
