The method of making mushroom soup is very simple. It is the same as the previous sea duck egg soup. The only difference is that while frying the eggs, the mushrooms should also be thrown in and stir-fried together.
As soon as the fighting cock was put into the pot and stir-fried for a few times, a fresh and fragrant smell wafted into the yard. The formation drew all the fumes from the kitchen into the yard, and there was no smell in the kitchen. But the greedy cats in the yard couldn't sit still.
Chonghua quickly jumped to Du Heng's side and asked, "What delicious food are you making?"
Du Heng was frying egg drops and shredded fighting cocks. The mushrooms became soft after being heated and their original shape could not be seen. Chonghua looked at it for a long time and was a little puzzled: "What... is this?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "These are the mushrooms you and Yun Zheng brought back. I am going to make some soup."
In fact, there was a lot of soup today, including hen soup and duck egg and mushroom soup. But as long as Xiaoxiao was there, he wasn't afraid of having too much leftovers.
Chonghua's expression was a little subtle: "You really want to eat this... It doesn't have any spiritual energy. This thing grows everywhere in Fengjun's yard. It's annoying. Every time it rots, it attracts some small flies."
Du Heng smiled and said, "This is a rare delicacy in my hometown."
Chonghua complained: "People in your hometown really have low aspirations..."
As he spoke, Du Heng poured boiling water into the pot. The boiling water made a crackling sound, and many bubbles formed by heating appeared in the pot. The originally clear boiling water began to turn milky white after entering the pot, and golden oil flowers floated on the soup, which looked particularly appetizing.
When Du Heng sprinkled a handful of madder into the pot, the fragrance of the chicken mushroom and duck egg soup reached its peak. Not only did Jing Nan appear, but even Feng Gui appeared. The two stood behind Du Heng, one on the left and one on the right.
Jing Nan muttered, "Hey, this looks even more delicious than the previous duck egg soup." Jing Nan liked the duck egg soup made by Du Heng. Every time he made duck egg soup, he could eat three bowls of rice with the soup.
Feng Gui was a little dissatisfied: "Hmm... no chili?"
The dishes for today's dinner are not to Feng Gui's taste. He likes red dishes, the kind that are spicy and can make his whole body burn.
Du Heng smiled and said, "That's all for tonight. How about I make some spicy dishes tomorrow?"
Besides, there are still roast rabbit and roast duck in the refrigerator that were not finished at noon. If Fenggui wants to eat spicy food, he can just take them out and put them in the oven again.
On the table were golden chicken soup with mushrooms and golden duck egg soup, and next to them were two steamed sea bass that had been eaten to pieces. Next to the sea bass were roasted rabbit and duck meat wrapped in spring pancakes. Seeing these dishes, everyone who had eaten a lot of snacks in the afternoon couldn't help but salivate.
Du Heng filled a bowl of chicken soup for Xuan Yu: "Would you like to try it?"
Xuan Yu took the soup with both hands: "It looks delicious."
After finishing speaking, Xuan Yu carefully sipped the soup, his eyebrows slightly raised, and after pondering for a moment, he used one word to describe this dish: "Fresh!"
This soup was different from the soups he had had before. He had drunk a lot of soups from Yunyanlou and Du Heng. But no other dish had such a taste. Although only a few mushrooms were added, the taste of the soup was completely different from chicken soup and duck egg soup. The freshness seemed to take root and stay between his lips and teeth. After taking a sip, he felt his whole body was soothed!
Hearing Xuan Yu say this, Feng Gui immediately became excited: "It tastes so good? I want to try it too."
Feng Gui filled half a bowl of soup. He took a sip critically and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Hmm, fresh."
It can be said that if Feng Gui was asked to not eat for three days after drinking this bowl of soup, he would be able to accept it. The taste of the soup was really amazing. The taste of the hen, which was originally the main character, was overshadowed by the inconspicuous mushrooms.
Feng Gui drank half of the soup in his bowl in one gulp, and then filled another bowl with soup. This time he placed it in front of Xiao Xiao: "Drink the soup."
Xiaoxiao was eating roast duck rolls. When he saw a bowl of soup in front of him, he looked up at Fenggui suspiciously. Then he chirped at Xuanyu. Xuanyu said slowly, "There shouldn't be anything added."
Feng Gui angrily slapped Xiao Xiao's head and said, "Am I such an unreliable uncle in your mind?"
Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively: "Chiu!"
Du Heng asked Xuan Yu in surprise: "What are they doing?"
Xuan Yu explained: "Xiao Xiao asked me if Feng Gui added anything strange to the soup. I said no, and that was it."
Du Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know what Feng Gui's image in Xiaoxiao's heart had become. It was such a waste of Feng Gui's beautiful face.
Xiaoxiao held the bowl with his two little wings and drank a mouthful happily. Suddenly, his eyes were full of stars. He dove into the bowl and gulped down all the soup, then pushed the bowl in front of Fenggui.
Feng Gui took the bowl and added soup to Xiao Xiao with disdain: "Aren't you afraid that I will add more for you?"
Xiaoxiao chirped twice to please him, and the two of them left again to show their filial piety to their uncle and nephew.
The three people, Lao Dao, Yun Zheng, and Chong Hua, were eating without talking. They ate slowly and leisurely. They were drinking soup, but it felt like drinking alcohol. Du Heng had never seen anyone take a sip of soup, put down the bowl, pause for a while, and then take another sip. What was wrong with them?
Feng Gui sighed, "If I had known that the mushrooms in the yard were so delicious, I wouldn't have wasted those mushrooms before."
Du Heng patted his chest and promised: "If mushrooms grow in the future, I will help you deal with them!"
Feng Gui nodded: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Jing Nan said slowly: "But you have to be careful, there are more than one kind of mushrooms in Feng Gui's yard, don't eat the wrong ones and get poisoned."
There are many colors and styles of mushrooms. There is a magical province in Du Heng's hometown where people get poisoned by eating mushrooms every year. But the more poisoning people get, the more they want to try. Some people just came out of the emergency room and sent themselves to the emergency room again at night because of eating mushrooms.
Du Heng said: "Don't worry, I don't eat mushrooms that I'm not familiar with."
Jing Nan glanced at Du Heng with a smile, and he nodded with relief: "Well, that's good."
For some reason, Du Heng felt that Jing Nan's smile was malicious.
After a long meal, his belly was full and Chonghua rubbed it contentedly: "What should I do? If I stay in the village any longer, I'm afraid I won't want to leave."
Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "It seems that it is quite far from Dongji Mountain to the village. I wonder if there is express delivery in the demon world. If there is, I have made some delicious food that can be stored, and I can ask the courier to send it to Dongji Mountain for you."
After saying this, Du Heng laughed first: "What nonsense am I talking about..."
This is the demon world, not the modern world. There are many restrictions outside the demon caves. Not to mention express delivery, nothing can be delivered. And what is Dongji Mountain? How many people in the world can climb over Dongji Mountain?
Yun Zheng pondered and said, "We don't have the express delivery that Mr. Du mentioned, but we can send things through talismans. As long as it's not too large, it should be able to be sent over."
Du Heng was about to say something when Xuan Yu said, "Du Heng will start practicing after the beginning of next spring. By then, he will have to focus on practicing, so he probably won't have many opportunities to cook."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu in shock. Xuan Yu actually went along with Jing Nan and sent him to a cram school! How could he live like this?
Hearing Xuan Yu say this, Yun Zheng and the others could only say regretfully: "Then there is nothing we can do."
Chonghua scratched his hair in frustration: "There are so many delicious foods, but we can only come back during the Chinese New Year. Ahhhh, I really want to take Mr. Du to Dongji Mountain."
Feng Gui said slowly: "If he leaves the village, many people will want to take him away and hide him. So until his cultivation level is good enough to show to others, he should stay in the village honestly."
Du Heng was about to cry. He was already so old, but he was still forced to attend cram school. It was really too difficult.
After Feng Gui and the others had eaten and drunk their fill and went home, Du Heng was in the kitchen, sighing and fiddling with his chicken feet, duck wings, goose necks, etc. There was a big basin full of leftovers that had accumulated over this period of time.
Xuan Yu asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Du Heng sighed, "I get nervous when I think about starting my training next year."
He also knew that everyone forced him to practice for his own good, but he was still nervous. He was not the original owner but occupied the original owner's body. Although he inherited some of the original owner's memories, he was really unfamiliar with practice.
When other cultivators reach the fourth level of Qi training, they may not be as strong as a mountain, but at least they are already different from ordinary people. But Du Heng felt that he looked just like an ordinary person, not like a cultivator at all.
Du Heng was a little frustrated: "Xuan Yu, what if my progress in cultivation is very slow?" He was worried. If upgrading in the world of cultivation was like going to school, he could practice questions, but the method of cultivation that used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth always seemed unnatural to him.
Xuan Yu said slowly: "Everyone starts out as weak and becomes strong. You now have a top-grade wood spiritual root, so your cultivation will be much faster than other cultivators. Don't worry. With Jing Nan and I here, you will be successful."
Du Heng was still worried: "I'm afraid I'll fail your expectations."
He had finally earned a place in the village. If he revealed himself to be a fool because of his practice, how would Jing Nan and the others view him?
Xuan Yu reached out and touched Du Heng's hair, the action was just like Du Heng's touch to Xiao Xiao everyday: "We have no expectations for you, no matter how far you go, we are happy for you. We let you practice just in the hope that you can have the strength to protect yourself when we are not with you. If you really don't want to practice, then don't practice. I just need to stay by your side in the future."
Du Heng was very moved, but at the same time, he felt guilty. What had he done to deserve such consideration from the villagers?
Xuan Yu had said this, if he was still timid, he would be unworthy of his identity as a man. Du Heng made up his mind: "Then I will practice! It is said that it is very difficult for a cultivator to practice against the will of heaven, I will see how far I can go!"
Du Heng, who had regained his confidence, was now in high spirits. He continued to fiddle with his scraps. Xuan Yu asked, "I wanted to ask you just now, do you want braised duck feet?"
Du Heng had made stewed food before, and he put beef tendons and trotters of Tulue Mountain in the stewed food. To be honest, Xuan Yu thought those trotters were delicious.
Du Heng smiled and said, "Yes, I am going to make some stewed food, but this time I want it to taste different."
He wanted to make spicy food, and these scraps were suitable for making spicy snacks. He carefully watched Yun Zheng and Chong Hua during meals these two days, and they could actually eat spicy food. Some things had to be made spicy to be tasty!
Du Heng suddenly remembered something: "Xuan Yu Xuan Yu, when you were cleaning up the rabbits last time, were the eight rabbit heads still there?"
Xuan Yu said: "Yes, do you need me to take it out for you?" Du Heng nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!"
92
Xuan Yu had already processed all the rabbit heads. The skinned rabbit heads revealed the white skulls and wooden eyes, which looked a bit creepy. If Du Heng saw this thing in a different environment, he would jump up. But when the eight rabbit heads were lying in the pool, Du Heng actually felt relieved.
Let them destroy Du Heng's refrigerator!
Xuan Yu cleaned the rabbit head very well. The throat, eyelids and ears were all cleaned. Xuan Yu even washed the rabbit head several times before, and the meat in the throat area was washed white. The erroneous beast is bigger than an ordinary rabbit. The skull of an ordinary rabbit is only as big as a fist, but the skull of the erroneous beast is more than twice as big as an ordinary rabbit.
Du Heng added ginger and white wine to the pot and sprinkled a handful of madder. The poor madder had been plucked out by Du Heng, but after a few more days, the onions he planted would be edible.
Eight rabbit heads filled up half of the wooden basin, and Du Heng pressed the rabbit heads one by one to the bottom of the basin to fully marinate. This is one of the key steps to remove the fishy smell. After an incense stick, Du Heng took the rabbit heads out of the wooden basin and put them in the pot to blanch.
After putting the rabbit head in, Du Heng also poured the chicken feet and duck feet he had prepared into the pot. The rabbit head was relatively large, so it took longer to blanch it, while the other scraps could be taken out and rinsed with cold water as soon as the water boiled.
Du Heng poured white wine and ginger into the pot and covered it. He called Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu, help me get some peppers out of the refrigerator." Xuan Yu immediately opened the refrigerator, but when he turned around, he found Du Heng following him. Xuan Yu said with a smile: "Didn't you ask me to get the peppers? Why are you here too?"
Du Heng said, "I came to get the marinade ingredients. I was afraid I couldn't get them all, so I asked you to help me."
Du Heng prepared all the marinade ingredients by himself, including bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon and other ingredients, and packed them in a large bag made of gauze. When he took the marinade out, the water in the pot was already boiling.
Du Heng scooped out the leftover ingredients from the pot and rinsed them with water, then left the rabbit head in the pot and continued blanching it.
By the time he had prepared the marinade package, the rabbit head had also been blanched. Du Heng took the rabbit head out of the pot. After the blanching, the rabbit's big eyes had turned white, and it didn't look as creepy as it did at the beginning.
Du Heng added water to the pot again, then put the rabbit head back in the pot and added the seasoning bag. Seeing Du Heng cover the lid, Xuan Yu pointed at the scraps in the pool and said, "Aren't you going to put these in?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "Rabbit heads have a strong fishy smell and need to be braised to remove it. These scraps have little meat and will be too mushy if they are braised together. It will be the same if you put them in the spicy hot pot after the braising process is finished."
Xuan Yu understood: "So you want to leave these in the pot overnight, right?" The last time Du Heng made braised meat, he left the meat in the pot overnight. Du Heng said that it would taste better this way.
Du Heng smiled and said, "Xuan Yu, I think you have a talent for being a cook!"
Xuan Yu said modestly: "It's mainly because the chef taught me well."
The two of them were flattering each other, and Xiao Wonton was lying under the table chewing on Du Heng's shoes. As night fell, the lights in Xuan Yu's house were on. Although it was not as bright as Feng Gui's house, it made people feel peaceful.
There were footsteps outside the yard, and Du Heng thought it was Jing Nan and Feng Gui coming to visit again. The footsteps stopped at the gate of the yard, and then there was a regular knock on the gate.
Du Heng raised his voice and said, "The door is not closed! Come in by yourself!"
The courtyard door quietly opened, and Jinghong, dressed in green, stood outside. After not seeing Jinghong for a few days, she no longer looked as pale as when she first arrived in the village. After a few days of recuperation, Jinghong's complexion became rosier and she looked more energetic.
Du Heng was a little surprised to see Jinghong, but he still asked with a smile: "Miss Jinghong? What's the matter so late?"
Jinghong saluted Du Heng and said, "Mr. Du, I am about to leave the village. I came to say hello to you before I go. Thank you for your care these days."
Du Heng was flattered but also a little surprised: "Hey? Are you leaving now? Are you feeling better?"
He didn't take care of Jinghong. Except for the day when he was making buns, Jinghong was usually at Jingnan's house.
I heard from Lao Dao that this girl has not been idle these days. Jingnan's house is a mess, and every year she waits for Jinghong to clean it up. No matter how sick Jinghong is, she must clean up Jingnan's house before she leaves.
Jinghong showed a faint smile: "Thank you for your concern, sir. I am almost well now."
Du Heng looked at the sky and said, "Isn't it unsafe for you to leave now in the middle of the night? What if you encounter a monster? How about you leave during the day tomorrow?"
After saying this, Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu with some embarrassment. Xuan Yu had already told him why everyone didn't accept Jing Hong, and if he said this again, it would seem like he was being too chaste. But it was freezing cold and late at night, and it felt quite inhumane to let a girl who had just recovered from a serious illness leave alone.
Jinghong bowed again, and a foot-long grey feather appeared in her hand. "My mount is outside the village, and it will take less than an hour to reach Lingxi Town. If you need me in the future, you can use this to send Jinghong. Just burn the feather on the fire, and Jinghong will appear within a thousand miles."
Du Heng looked at Jinghong in surprise. Jinghong was too polite. He felt embarrassed. He looked at the feather in Jinghong's hand with some hesitation. Should he take it or not?
Xuan Yu spoke up at this time: "Take it. Not everyone can have Jinghong's Feihong Order."
Du Heng then took the feather from Jing Hong's hand. Du Heng originally thought that the feather should be very light, but he did not expect it to be very heavy.
Jinghong said slowly: "Jinghong is leaving."
Seeing Jinghong was about to leave, Xuanyu suddenly said, "Wait."
Jinghong stopped and looked at Xuan Yu in surprise. She saluted and said, "What do you want, Mr. Xuan?"
Xuan Yu said to Du Heng, "You can't take her Feihong Order for nothing. Take some food for her to take away."
Du Heng nodded quickly: "Yeah!" In fact, he had the same idea, but he was afraid that Feng Gui and the others would be unhappy if he took the initiative to give it to them.
Du Heng had nothing to give as a gift, only some food. He had been busy making delicious food these days, so there was quite a bit of food in the refrigerator. He took out a few steamed buns, a pack of cakes and fried rice candy, meatballs, braised meat, etc. from the refrigerator and put them in a storage bag.
When Du Heng handed the storage bag to Jing Hong, Jing Hong's eyes showed surprise. The things Du Heng gave her were beyond her expectations. It was too much. Du Heng said, "I don't have anything to give you. These are just some food I made. Take care."
Jinghong raised the storage bag above her head and bowed to Du Heng, then walked out of the village without looking back. Under the night, Jinghong's figure was quickly swallowed by the darkness. Du Heng stood at the door for a long time looking at the direction Jinghong walked. How could this girl walk on such a dark road?
Du Heng sighed: "Why doesn't she hold a lamp?"
Xuan Yu said calmly: "No matter how dark the sky is, it won't be darker than her future."
After hearing this, Du Heng remembered something. He rubbed his hands and said, "Xuan Yu, we just took something for Jing Hong. Will Jing Nan and the others be angry?"
Xuan Yu shook his head: "Jingnan and Fenggui are not the kind of petty people. What Jinghong did is indeed unforgivable, but they won't quibble over such a small thing. Perhaps you don't know that before Jinghong did anything wrong, she used to go in and out of the village as often as Laodao. If it weren't for that incident, she would have stayed in the village for the New Year like Yunzheng and the others, and she would have had a place next to your table. What's more, I was the one who asked you to send it, so even if Fenggui and the others have any objections, they can just come after me."
Du Heng looked outside the yard, and all he could see was darkness. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking Xuan Yu: "Do you think she regrets it?"
Xuan Yu said: "Maybe she regrets it, but she can't turn back." She can only go down this path until the end.
Du Heng soon remembered his braised rabbit head, and the aroma from the pot echoed in the yard. Du Heng closed the gate and locked all the frost outside the yard.
It takes two or three incense sticks to stew the rabbit head, because there is still the next step to prepare it, so it doesn’t matter if it is not so soft and tender.
Flames rose in the hearth of the cauldron, and Du Heng poured a thick layer of soybean oil into the pot. When the soybean oil was hot, Du Heng turned down the heat and poured ground chili peppers into the pot. The pot crackled, and the aroma of chili oil burst out violently, so fragrant that Du Heng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After the chili peppers produced red oil, Du Heng added the chopped red chili peppers, as well as pepper powder and a handful of dried peppercorns. When white sesame seeds, salt, cumin, and a small amount of fermented rice wine were added to the pot, Du Heng heard Feng Gui's voice: "Don't be too much at night, can you let me sleep?"
It was all because the aroma of the chili was too tempting, Feng Gui and Xiao Xiao climbed over the wall again.
Feng Gui was very depressed: "What kind of house did Lao Xia build? It can't even keep out the smell. I can't even lie on the bed. As soon as I fell down, I could smell the fragrance and couldn't sleep." Xiaoxiao responded to his uncle: "Chirp!"
Du Heng was overjoyed: "If you're hungry, then so be it. Just treat it as a midnight snack. But I'm not ready yet."
Feng Gui looked at the chili oil in the pot and asked curiously, "What delicious food are you going to make?"
When Du Heng fished the rabbit skull out of the pot, Feng Gui showed a horrified expression on his face: "What the hell is this?"
Xuan Yu said: "Du Heng said that the head of the evil beast can be made into a delicious spicy rabbit head."
Feng Gui shook his head repeatedly: "No, I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat!"
Du Heng didn't say anything, he just looked at Feng Gui with a smile, and then threw the rabbit brain into the pot. The rabbit brain was immediately covered with a thick layer of chili oil, which looked bright red. This was not the end, Du Heng also poured the blanched scraps into the pot.
He poured the brine from the small pot into the big pot, covering most of the ingredients. The ingredients were soaked in chili oil and brine, looking bright red and smelling fragrant.
Listening to the sound coming from the pot, Xiaoxiao's belly made a gurgling sound. Du Heng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a shiny saliva hanging from the corner of Xiaoxiao's mouth. Du Heng almost laughed out loud, it was so cute!
Feng Gui scratched his hair in frustration: "If I don't want to eat the beast's head, can't I just eat the chicken's feet?"
After a while, the pot started to boil. Feng Gui was a little irritable: "Isn't it just a blackmail beast? Am I afraid of this thing? Eat it!"
It would be great if Feng Daxianer's moral integrity was as good as his looks, but unfortunately, no matter how good-looking he is, he changes his face as quickly.
93
After two incense sticks, the fire in the pot went out. At this time, there was not much brine left, and the top layer of ingredients was covered with a thick layer of chili oil.
Du Heng took out a large plate and placed it next to the stove. He opened the lid of the pot and took out the braised chicken feet, duck wings, etc. These things could not withstand long cooking, and at this moment they were very flavorful and soft, and they would melt in a sip.
Du Heng filled a plate with leftovers and placed it on the dining table. He then took out another plate and placed four rabbit skulls on it: "One for each person. Don't fight over it."
Coincidentally, there are exactly eight rabbit heads, and there are exactly eight people in the village, one for each person, no more and no less.
Feng Gui and the beast's eyes, which were soaked in chili peppers, looked at each other, and his Adam's apple moved. Du Heng was about to laugh, and Feng Gui swallowed his saliva! There was something in the world that could scare Feng Gui! ! Hahahaha! !
At this time, Xiaoxiao's performance was particularly heroic. He pecked a duck head into his mouth. He held the duck head in his mouth and chirped, then chewed it for a while, and then he opened his mouth and spit out a bunch of bones.
Feng Gui looked at Xiao Xiao with disdain: "Feng Lin, where is your image?"
Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes and continued to swallow a chicken claw. He stretched his neck and his little wings trembled with joy. After Xiaoxiao spit out the chicken claw, he turned his head and opened his mouth towards Fenggui's face.
A bright yellow flame suddenly burst out of Xiaoxiao's mouth and hit Fenggui's face squarely. Xiaoxiao stood on the chair and jumped: "Chirp!!!"
Du Heng was holding a chicken claw in his hand, and he was dumbfounded. What did he just see? He saw a fire-breathing chicken. Xiaoxiao could actually spit fire? How spicy was he? Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it?
Du Heng was extremely worried: "Oh no, is Xiaoxiao injured by the spiciness?"
Xuan Yu explained: "That's not the case. Xiaoxiao is originally a fire monster. Although he can't transform for the time being, the demon pill and demon fire in his body are still there. He just enjoyed eating it. It seems that he likes this kind of leftovers very much."
Du Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Xiaoxiao would spit out fire when she was happy after eating. This was an eye-opener.
Feng Gui wiped his face, the veins on his forehead popped out: "Feng Lin, do you think I won't hit you?"
Xiaoxiao didn't care how irritable his uncle was. He chirped and swallowed another duck wing. Feng Gui sighed helplessly: "Forget it, what's there for me and my nephew to argue about."
Du Heng took a bite of the chicken feet with trepidation. He had already cut the nails on the chicken feet, and the soft chicken feet melted in his mouth. To be honest, the first bite did not feel spicy at all. Not only did it not feel spicy, it was a little sweet.
Du Heng added salt and sugar to the base, and the chicken feet were moderately salty and sweet with a hint of freshness. After a closer taste, the spicy taste came out. The spicy taste spread from the tongue and began to spread throughout the mouth.
Du Heng's face began to turn red slowly, as if it was a bit spicy. This spiciness could knock him down, and probably could also knock Jing Nan down.
By the time Du Heng finished brushing a chicken claw, he was already panting for water to drink. It wasn't that his cooking was bad, he just couldn't handle spicy food like Jing Nan. In fact, the spiciness of his cooking was just right for people who like spicy food!
Feng Gui ate a chicken foot and then a duck wing, and finally he set his eyes on the terrifying rabbit head on the plate. The braised rabbit head was greasy, and the skull was covered with red oil and sesame seeds. Its eyes were still staring straight at Feng Gui, as if provoking Feng Gui: Do you dare to try it?
Feng Gui reached out and put the rabbit head on the plate in front of him. The red oil on the head slowly slid down. Before the red oil dripped onto the plate, Feng Gui had already sucked up all the red oil. The spicy and fragrant rabbit head was round and looked difficult to eat.
But this was not a problem for Feng Gui. He used both hands, one hand pinched the upper jaw of the rabbit's head, and the other hand pressed the sides of the chin. Without any effort, the rabbit's head was easily divided into two parts.
There was a lot of flesh on the jaw, and a thick tongue was lying in the gums. Feng Gui nibbled the flesh on the jaw slowly, and his eyes narrowed slightly. If he saw Feng Gui like this at ordinary times, he would have been full of charm. But this scene was too beautiful, and Du Heng couldn't bear to look at it after just one look.
Xuan Yu asked Feng Gui slowly, "Is it delicious?" Feng Gui nodded implicitly, "Not bad."
Although his voice was reserved, his actions were not. Feng Gui pulled the entire tongue out from the gums with his fingers, and bit the rabbit tongue in his mouth. The meat on the rabbit tongue was a little softer than the meat on both sides of the cheeks. When chewed, it was soft but also a little tough.
Feng Gui bit the rabbit tongue fiercely in his mouth: "Things like the blackmail beast rely on their mouths to deceive everyone in the world. Their clan never dreamed that one day someone would eat their tongues, crack open their skulls and devour their brains."
Xuan Yu calmly took another rabbit head and said, "If this clan had foresight, they wouldn't be so arrogant."
Du Heng was making honey grapefruit tea to relieve the spiciness. He asked in confusion, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why can the extortion beasts deceive so many people? Is it because they look cute?"
After hearing this, Feng Gui and Xuan Yu fell into strange silence. All they could hear was the sound of Xiao Xiao eating duck feet. Du Heng asked weakly, "What's wrong? Did I ask something I shouldn't have asked?"
Xuan Yu said: "It's not that you asked something you shouldn't have asked, but I don't know how to answer this question for you."
Feng Gui said: "In ancient times, there were many monsters that were deeply loved by the Heavenly Dao, and the false beasts were one of them. Although they cannot transform and their combat power is weak, they are able to roam freely in the monster world because of their strong luck. Many formations and barriers cannot stop their invasion. The false beasts are very intelligent. They are eloquent and can imitate the languages of various tribes to tell all kinds of lies. But they have a peculiar skill, which is that what they say can make people extremely convinced."
Du Heng sighed: "Such a powerful racial skill is actually used to cheat for food and drink. If they had a little political sense, they would have ruled the demon world long ago, right?"
Feng Gui licked the bone of his jaw in frustration. He snorted and said, "They are only capable of cheating for food and drink. What if they have that kind of brain? These cheating beasts are deeply loved by the Heaven. Their race has grown stronger over the years."
There were only eight evil beasts that invaded the village this time, but they dealt a devastating blow to Du Heng. If a group of evil beasts appeared again, there would probably be nothing left in the village.
With hatred towards the false beast, Feng Gui and Xuan Yu were gnawing on the rabbit head angrily. Even Xuan Yu, who looked calm, felt like gritting his teeth.
The spicy rabbit head was delicious. Feng Gui finished chewing the lower jaw and started chewing the upper jaw. There was not much meat on the upper jaw, only some edible meat around the eye sockets, and a piece of edible cartilage with wrinkles on the upper jaw. But the edible part of the upper jaw was not the meat, but the brain.
After Feng Gui had eaten all the meat on the upper jaw, what was left on the plate was an unopened rabbit skull, which was twice bigger than a fist!
Feng Gui's fingers fell on the joints of several bones on the rabbit's head. He applied a little force with his fingers, and heard a slight snap. The rabbit's skull actually split along several cracks, revealing a ball of red brain inside that was larger than a fist.
The brain is densely covered with blood vessels and some crisscrossing grooves. The rabbit brain has been marinated for a long time and has fully absorbed the soup. It looks like a ball of spicy tofu shaking slightly.
Du Heng took a spoon and handed it to Feng Gui: "Here."
Feng Gui took the spoon and scooped a spoonful of brains into his mouth. His pupils suddenly widened. What does this taste like? Fresh, fragrant and delicate, even better than meat! It can be asserted that this is the most delicious meat Feng Gui has ever eaten!
Feng Gui sighed: "No wonder some people in the cultivation world like to eat animal brains. So this is what it tastes like. So delicious."
Xiaoxiao stretched her neck and looked at Fenggui: "Chirp."
Feng Gui scooped a spoonful of rabbit brains and handed it to Xiao Xiao, who swallowed it in one gulp and trembled with surprise. He ignored the other scraps on the plate and jumped onto the table to dig out the rabbit head that belonged to him. Xuan Yu soon joined the ranks of eating rabbit brains. After he pried open the rabbit skull, Du Heng also handed over a wooden spoon. Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng who was holding the cup: "Why don't you eat it?"
Du Heng said with a bitter face: "It's too spicy. Jing Nan and I can't eat spicy food. Please help me eat my rabbit head."
Feng Gui was happy: "Hey, that's perfect, Jing Nan's rabbit head is mine."
Xuan Yu scooped a spoonful of rabbit brain and brought it to Du Heng's mouth: "This shouldn't be too spicy." He deliberately chose a ball of rabbit brain that was not very red, thinking that Du Heng would be able to accept this level of spiciness, right?
Du Heng looked at the tofu-like brain in the spoon. He struggled for a moment and then ate it without any burden.

Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu who was excitedly digging his brain, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

Xiaoxiao also cracked open the rabbit's crown, revealing a grayish-white brain wrapped in red oil. When Xiaoxiao was about to eat the brain happily, a spoon suddenly stretched out from the side.
Feng Gui scooped out a large spoonful of rabbit brains and smiled: !!!
Feng Gui slowly put the spoonful of rabbit brain into his mouth.
