Xiaoxiao's way of eating snails made Du Heng laugh. After laughing, Du Heng began to think of ways to help Xiaoxiao. In addition to picking out the snail meat and feeding it to Xiaoxiao, Du Heng had no other way. It seems that Xiaoxiao can only enjoy the fun of sucking snails after she transforms.
Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes after taking a big bite of snail meat. Although the snail meat was small, it tasted surprisingly good. Xiaoxiao laughed. He liked the taste.
Du Heng said to Xuan Yu, "Next time I go to Nanshan, I will pick out more snails and bring them back to pick out the snail meat. Xiaoxiao likes to eat this."
Xuan Yu nodded: "Okay." He would be responsible for picking the snail meat then. Du Heng had already worked very hard for his practice.
After everyone had sucked on the snails for a while, Jing Nan sniffed: "Is the food ready? I can smell the fragrance."
The aroma of bacon and vegetable rice wafted in from outside the yard, and Jing Nan, who was sitting closest to the door, was the first to smell it.
Du Heng immediately put down his chopsticks and walked to the pot. That's right, the rice was ready! He opened the lid of the pot and saw the oily rice in the pot, with yellow lettuce leaves and diced bacon and sausage in it. It smelled delicious.
Du Heng shaved the salted pork and vegetable rice. To be honest, the smell of the salty aroma made him feel so hungry. He hadn't eaten vegetable rice for many years. Although salted pork and vegetable rice can be made in every season, Du Heng thought it was a delicacy unique to spring and autumn. However, at that time, he was in school.
The rice has absorbed the aroma of fat and vegetables, and it is swollen and distinct. The fat in the diced bacon and sausage mixed in the rice has been stir-fried out, and now they are lying in the middle of the rice obediently without being overbearing. The green lettuce leaves before being put into the pot have now turned yellow, and they complement the bacon and sausages. The bowl of pickled vegetable rice is colorful, beautiful and delicious.
Xiaoxiao let out a trembling chirp in surprise. He liked the smell of the bacon and vegetable rice very much. He thought this rice would be even better than the rice Du Heng had cooked for him before.
Du Heng served rice to everyone one by one: "When people in my hometown cook, they will add two spoons of lard before boiling, so that the rice will not be so dry after stirring. I put a lot of bacon and sausage in the rice, so the lard is enough~"
Everyone was very supportive. Jing Nan took the rice in the bowl and looked at it: "It looks beautiful, just like a splendid landscape. We can cook more of this rice in the future."
Du Heng was amused: "You haven't even tried it yet, and you already know it's delicious? What if it doesn't suit your taste?"
Jing Nan pointed to his nose and said, "My sense of smell is not to be underestimated. If I say it tastes good, it must taste good." As he said that, Jing Nan took a chopstick of rice and put it in his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he found the rice fresh and fragrant. It really had much more flavor than white rice.
The bacon and vegetable rice may feel a bit dry, so the leftover Zhuyan pork elbow soup from yesterday can be served.
Yesterday Du Heng cooked most of Zhu Yan's elbow, and since everyone ate too many crabs at noon, there was quite a lot of soup left over.
Du Heng brought the soup to the table: "Bone soup is best served with bacon and vegetable rice. It will taste better this way."
Wen Qiong asked, "Then why don't you serve the goose soup from last night? I think goose soup tastes good."
Du Heng smiled and said, "Because there is a lot of bone soup left." Well, this reason is impeccable.
It's true that eating rice and drinking bone soup is delicious, tasty and filling. With rice and soup, the sweet and sour lotus stems and stir-fried snails were left out.
Jing Nan was drinking soup when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Du Heng, do you know why you were like that yesterday?"
Du Heng was stunned for a moment, and he asked stupidly, "What?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of the strange incident last night, and his face immediately turned red. He wished the bowl was big enough so that he could bury his face in it.
Jing Nan said seriously, "There are several kinds of mushrooms growing in Feng Gui's yard. One kind of mushroom looks very similar to the chicken mushroom you picked up. They are smaller than chicken mushrooms and grayer in color. They never open their caps, so they look like chicken mushrooms that have not opened their caps. This kind of mushroom is called Yingchun Mushroom."
Du Heng thought about it. Wasn't that the mushroom he picked out to stir-fry the pork slices yesterday? It turned out to be the winter jasmine mushroom? What is the winter jasmine mushroom used for?
Jing Nan said slowly: "The forsythia has hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac effects, but its toxicity is very low, and it is harmless to the demon race and human cultivators."
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan awkwardly. Why did he talk about this at the dinner table? In front of the children.
Jing Nan said, "If it's just the Yingchun Mushroom, it won't be a big deal. The gourd-shaped lake in Nanshan is called Wenxin Lake. There is a kind of algae in the lake, which is the main material for refining the Zhenyan Pill. You drank a sip of water yesterday, and ate the Yingchun Mushroom at night. When the two are combined, you have an extra Taoist companion."
Du Heng turned his head and looked at Xuan Yu, who reached out and held his hand: "It's okay."
Jing Nan smiled sincerely, "This is a good thing. Cultivation is lonely. It is such a happy thing to have someone to walk hand in hand with. I haven't formally congratulated you two yet. You must be happy in the future. Xiaoyu, you must be good to Du Heng for the rest of your life. Du Heng, you must not let Xiaoyu down. He has paid a lot for you two to be where you are today."
Du Heng's eyes felt a little sore again. Really, why be so sentimental at the dinner table?
Jing Nan smiled and said, "The reason why I told you this at the dinner table is to make a deeper impression on you. This world is full of dangers. Even under our protection, there are still unimaginable risks around you. You must be more cautious in the future, at least don't poison yourself."
Du Heng blushed: "I...I know, I know."
Jing Nan smiled and said, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise, it's good. You should be more careful next time."
Du Heng secretly glanced at Xuan Yu, who remained calm. Seeing Du Heng looking at him, Xuan Yu handed Du Heng a piece of bone and said, "Don't worry too much. I will be more careful in the future."
The bacon and vegetable rice was so delicious that everyone chatted and laughed and finished half of the pot of vegetable rice without realizing it. At this time, the essence of the vegetable rice came into play, which was the rice crust at the bottom of the pot.
The rice stuck to the bottom of the pot had golden crust on its surface. It was fragrant and crispy when you chewed it. After discovering this delicious food, everyone put the rice and vegetables on top into a big bowl, and then gathered around the pot to tear off the crust and eat it.
Suddenly, a silvery-white thread fluttered down and landed on the stove. Du Heng picked up the thread and looked at it in confusion: "Where did it come from?"
Jing Nan smiled and rubbed his hair: "Well...I'm about to shed my hair recently."
Hearing Jing Nan's words, Xuan Yu frowned slightly: "Has it been another five hundred years so soon?"
Jing Nan said casually: "I will keep the fur I shed this time to make two sets of clothes for you two. It can be regarded as a gift to congratulate you two on your marriage."
This is the best gift that Jiuwei Jingnan can give. He will give clothes made from the fur that he has nurtured for five hundred years to a pair of Taoist lovers, and the couple will receive the blessing of Jiuwei.
However, Xuan Yu was not happy about this blessing. He asked Jing Nan: "Do you want to call Feng Gui back?"
Jing Nan chewed on the rice crust and said, "Why ask him to come back? He's already troubled enough by the things in the south."
Du Heng asked Xuan Yu, "Is it dangerous for Jing Nan to molt?"
Xuan Yu nodded, "It's not dangerous to molt. In the past, Jing Nan was just a little more irritable and talkative before molting. But this time, Jing Nan is about to grow his seventh tail. He is weak after growing the broken tail. He needs three days and three nights without being disturbed to recover. If someone takes the opportunity to disturb him, at best his strength will be damaged, and at worst he will die."
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan worriedly: "When will you shed your fur? We will watch over you."
Jing Nan said with a smile: "It will probably take a few months, so you don't have to worry about me. The village is quite safe. I'll ask Lao Dao to come and help. No one will come to disturb me."
Xuan Yu looked at Jing Nan deeply: "Okay, I won't go out recently anyway, I'll be watching over you, nothing will go wrong."
Wen Qiong wiped her mouth and said, "Is Lord Jing going to shed his fur? Then I can help guard it for a while. I will go back when Lord Jing grows his seventh tail."
Jing Nan smiled even more happily: "I appreciate your kindness, but Xiao Qiong, you are also very busy, right? Don't worry about me, it is more meaningful for you to go back early to help find out about Xiaoyu's natal spirit sword than to stay with me. How can I be in danger? It's just a change of hair, it's not dangerous."
After hearing this, Wen Qiong could only nod: "Oh...if Lord Jing needs my help, just ask."
Du Heng held the hair that Jing Nan had dropped in his hand. The silvery-white hair was wrapped around his finger like a roll of silk thread. Who could have thought that Jing Nan would encounter such a dangerous thing? Du Heng prepared to make more delicious food for Jing Nan to make him happier.
The raindrops after lunch were still dripping, and the continuous spring rain was like smoke. There was a popping sound from deep in the bamboo forest. Du Heng dodged easily in the gaps between the bamboos. It felt different after his cultivation level was improved.
Du Heng used to run out of energy when dodging in the bamboo forest, but now he feels that his spiritual energy is inexhaustible. He has just reached the end of the foundation building stage, and he actually has this feeling. What will it be like when he reaches the Dan-forming and Infant-transforming stage?
Today's practice went smoothly. When the last bamboo was put back in place, Du Heng's heart slowly relaxed. At this time, he heard a chirping sound coming from beside him. He looked down and saw Niannian Suisui pulling apart the thick bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest to look for insects to eat.
These two little chickens are quite powerful, they are always there when Du Heng is practicing. Sometimes Du Heng thinks they will be hit by Pei Zhu, but they can dodge it nimbly every time.
Du Heng bent down and touched the two chicks. The down on their backs was soaked by the rain. Du Heng held one chick in each hand and walked home: "Go home, the chicks can't get wet in the rain, they will get sick." Niannian Suisui tilted his head and looked up at Du Heng. Du Heng saw two pupils in Suisui's eyes again. He was no longer as surprised as he was at the beginning. Maybe they have the bloodline of some spiritual beasts? The spiritual beasts in the demon world look very random. Some have five tails, and some have five heads. Compared with those spiritual beasts, what is Niannian Suisui with two pupils?

Since he and Xuan Yu broke through that level of relationship, Du Heng felt that his relationship with Xuan Yu was rapidly heating up. When he was in his hometown, he had never been in a relationship. He often saw his roommates crazy about love and banging their heads against the wall for love.
The girlfriends of my roommates are quite noisy. Sometimes they would get mad and cry because they bought snacks they didn't like. Then the whole dormitory would have to brainstorm on how to coax their girlfriends. Often, while Du Heng and his friends were still thinking of ways, the couples would quarrel for a few words and then make up.
Du Heng was puzzled by this kind of love, but when he heard his roommates talk about how cute their girlfriends were, he envied and yearned for them. To be honest, he had always wanted to find a petite and cute girl as his girlfriend, and he also wanted to experience the process of coaxing his girlfriend, falling in love, quarreling, and then making up.
However, before he could find a girlfriend, he came to the world of cultivation. Then he had a Taoist partner, and he really... liked Xuan Yu very much.
Xuan Yu didn't need to be coaxed, he was very considerate. Every time Du Heng made eye contact with him, he could see the unbreakable tenderness in his eyes.
When he was picking vegetables and chatting with Xuan Yu, he would occasionally look up and find Xuan Yu looking at him. When he was done cooking in the kitchen, he would turn around and find that the plates and dishes he needed had been placed in the most suitable place by Xuan Yu.
Even if the two of them don't say anything when they are together, they feel very happy.
After accepting that Xuan Yu was his Taoist partner, Du Heng changed from being shy at the beginning to actively cooperating. Even if he didn't practice dual cultivation of spiritual energy, Du Heng felt that he was about to ascend to heaven.
He couldn't figure it out. What was wrong with having such a Taoist partner? Was he crazy before? Why would he want a girlfriend?
Under the moist spring rain, the bamboo shoots in Du Heng's heart grew like crazy. Now, if he didn't see Xuan Yu for half a day, he would start to feel anxious.
The temperature has been suitable these days, and the wheat planted by Du Heng has grown well, and will soon reach a length that can be used to make maltose.
The beginning of summer is coming soon, and Wen Qiong will leave the village. While she is still here, Du Heng is going to try making sweet-skinned duck. He wants Wen Qiong to taste the duck with crispy and sweet skin and tender and delicious meat. In order to make the duck, he needs maltose.
Du Heng reached out and picked up two fox hairs that had fallen on the wheat. These days, Jing Nan was like a walking dandelion, and his hair could be seen everywhere in the house. Du Heng had already picked up a large handful and put them in a wooden box. Every time he opened the box, it was like opening a treasure chest, and the silver light inside was shining.
Xiaoxiao would secretly open the box and roll into it to sleep, so Du Heng simply gave the box to Xiaoxiao. These past few days, Xiaoxiao and the chicks followed Jingnan every day, wanting to pick up a few feathers dropped by Jingnan to enrich their treasure chest.
On a sunny afternoon, Du Heng took out the malt with three or four inches of green seedlings from the basket. He carefully washed the malt and removed the unsprouted and ugly malt.
Spiritual rice was steaming on the stove. The spiritual rice had been soaked yesterday. The yard was filled with the fragrance of steaming spiritual rice. Those who didn't know what was going on thought that Du Heng was going to make some cakes again.
After a while, he washed all the malt, Xuan Yu took out the copper mortar and pestle, and Du Heng poured the malt into the copper mortar. Xuan Yu held the copper pestle and began to smash the malt. While Xuan Yu was pounding the malt, the spiritual rice on the stove was steamed.
Du Heng held the steamer and placed the spiritual rice in the ventilated corridor. He took a rice spoon and fluffed the rice. There were ten kilograms of spiritual rice prepared here, and the malt from two kilograms of wheat could be used to make maltose.
After the rice is fluffed, wait for the temperature to drop and then stir in the crushed malt. The temperature should drop to a level that is not too hot to the touch.
Du Heng felt that this process was similar to the process of mixing wine yeast, and after mixing, the malt and rice also had to undergo fermentation. He would need to wait until tomorrow morning to filter out the juice he needed.
There is a sweet smell after the malt is mashed. When Jing Nan came in, he sniffed it and said, "What delicious food are you making? It smells sweet."
Seeing Jing Nan, Du Heng quickly covered the rice with a layer of gauze. Jing Nan's hair had been falling everywhere he went recently. Although he knew that Jing Nan loved cleanliness, he always felt that it would be bad for the rice if his hair fell on the rice.
After Jing Nan stood still, Niannian successfully picked up a feather behind him. The little chick happily ran out of the yard with the feather in its mouth. It wanted to give away all the feathers it had collected.
Du Heng smiled and said, "I'll make some maltose. You want to eat sweet-skinned duck, right? I remember that this kind of sugar is needed to make sweet-skinned duck."
Jing Nan was extremely curious: "Hey? Malt? Let me see." He moved closer to the copper mortar and squinted his eyes to see the crushed malt in the mortar. He reached out and dipped a little juice and tasted it: "Hmm... just a little bit sweet."
Du Heng said: "After the malt and the spiritual rice are stirred and fermented, the filtered juice will be very sweet. Then you can boil it and get sugar."
Jing Nan held his chin up: "It can be done this way, interesting. When will you make the candy? I want to see it then."
Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "I can make candy tomorrow morning."
Jing Nan sighed: "I've been waiting for you to make sweet-skinned duck. You said you would make it, but you haven't done it until today." The flowers that Jing Nan waited for have all withered.
Du Heng laughed and said, "This means that we have delayed the planting of malt. We need to give the malt time to take root and sprout."
Jing Nan took out a piece of sponge cake from his sleeve and took a bite: "Perfunctory, you are just perfunctory to me. You can obviously water the spiritual energy to make the malt grow quickly."
Du Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Jing Daxian'er, you have been in a weird mood recently."
Thinking back to when he first met Jing Nan in the village, Du Heng only had the words "gentleman" in his mind. Now look at Jing Nan now, he is mean and unreasonable. No wonder Xuan Yu said that Jing Nan's temper will change a lot when he changes his hair. How can he change a lot? He is clearly a different person! Who can stand it?
Jing Nan ate the sponge cake and said, "How can I not be weird? Every family in the village has two people, but I am the only one in my family. I am all alone."
Du Heng thought of what Xuan Yu said to him back then, Xuan Yu said that he was the only one living in the village. Du Heng asked Xuan Yu suspiciously: "Xuan Yu, didn't you say at that time that you were the only one living in the village? I have been in the village for so long, isn't Jing Nan also alone?"
Xuan Yu was extremely calm: "Before you came to the village, Jing Nan's family still had cows."
Du Heng was stunned, and Jing Nan had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. Jing Nan was so angry that he lost several hairs. The little chickens were very happy. Jing Nan was angry: "I see through you, Xuan Yu. You really lied to deceive Du Heng. The bream beast can't even transform, how can it be considered a human!"
Xuan Yu remained calm: "At least it's alive."
Jing Nan was so angry that he didn't want to talk. He decided to spend an hour with Xuan Yu. He shook his sleeves and said, "I'm so angry. I'm going to sleep for an hour. I don't want to see Xuan Yu's face anymore."
Jing Nan walked towards Xuan Yu's original room on the first floor. Du Heng weakly complained behind him: "Jing Nan is so angry that he is confused. This is our home, right?"
Xuan Yu was very understanding: "Let him sleep, he will be very tired recently. I calculated yesterday that Jing Nan should not have grown a broken tail so quickly. It's all thanks to you, Du Heng."
Du Heng was puzzled: "Huh? What does it have to do with me?"
Xuan Yu said: "Since you came to the village, he has eaten a lot of the food you made, and all the food he ate turned into spiritual energy."
Hearing Xuan Yu say this, Du Heng subconsciously asked Xuan Yu: "What about you, Xuan Yu? You have eaten so much, has your body changed?"
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Of course there are, my scales have grown." Du Heng was a little confused. Could it be that Xuan Yu's scales were incomplete before?
The temperature of the spiritual rice dropped, and the two mixed the malt powder into the rice. After mixing, some soup seeped out of the rice. Du Heng dipped it in the soup and tasted it. It was sweet, but not too strong.
Du Heng covered the wooden basin with a layer of gauze, and then covered it with a blanket. Xuan Yu asked, "Do you want to take it to the terrace? That way it will ferment faster."
Du Heng suddenly came to his senses. Yes, why didn't he put it on the terrace to ferment? How stupid. If it was placed on the terrace, it would ferment quickly, right? Du Heng scratched his head embarrassedly: "I always feel a little confused recently, hahaha..."
Xuan Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's good, you are especially cute when you are confused."
The two of them were talking in earthy love words. Xiaoxiao, who came in, had a mouthful of hair in his mouth, which made him look like he had grown a white beard. Xiaoxiao glanced at the two people laughing foolishly in the yard, and shook his head. What his uncle said was indeed right. People in love have a wrong mind.
Xiaoxiao squatted in the corridor with a somewhat melancholy look on his face. Jingnan closed the door of the room downstairs, so he and his brothers had no way of going in to pluck the fur.
Xiaoxiao looked at Du Heng with disappointment. Since Du Heng and Xuan Yu became Taoist couples, he could not sleep with them. Du Heng also stopped baking snacks for him. Xiaoxiao felt that he had fallen out of favor.
Just as Xiaoxiao was sighing with a sad face, Du Heng suddenly felt guilty. He walked around the spiritual field and brought back two bunches of leeks: "Xiaoxiao, do you want some leek cakes?"
Xiaoxiao, who was full of complaints about Du Heng just now, suddenly brightened up: "Chew!!" Eat! ! She was waiting for Du Heng to say this!
In early spring, Du Heng planted a row of chives in the spiritual field in the west. The chives that had just sprouted were thinner than garlic cloves and needed to be cut off and allowed to grow again. Du Heng cut off two crops of chives before the chives in the spiritual field grew crisp, tender and green.
Du Heng had been coveting these leeks for a long time. When he was not practicing, he was thinking about making something delicious with leeks. Now, while waiting for the maltose to ferment, he could find some time to make a leek pancake.
The leeks were very tender, and a strong fragrance wafted out when they were pinched. Du Heng took good care of them, and there were not even a few yellow leaves on the leeks. After a little cleaning, he got two clean leeks one foot long. Du Heng put the leeks in a colander to drain the water.
He took out two bowls of noodles from the refrigerator. He didn't plan to make too many chive pancakes this time. People who like chives will like them very much, but people who don't like them can't stand the smell. He was worried that there were people in the village who didn't eat chives, so he made a few to test the market.
If everyone can accept the taste, he will make more tomorrow and keep them aside.
There are many ways to make chive pancakes, some are made with flour and some are made with rice flour. Some like to add eggs, and some add vermicelli.
The leek cakes that Du Heng often eats in his hometown are made of glutinous rice flour. Just chop the leeks, mix them with glutinous rice, add seasonings and stir into a paste. When the oil is hot, you can scoop them into the pan one spoonful at a time and fry them until they are set.
The leek pancakes made of glutinous rice are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside when eaten hot. If you eat them with porridge, just two pieces will make you full.
However, eating too much glutinous rice flour can cause acid reflux in the stomach. The last time Du Heng ate leek pancakes made with glutinous rice flour in his hometown was because he accidentally ate too much and felt uncomfortable in his stomach. Since then, the Du family has used flour to make leek pancakes, and Du Heng will not feel uncomfortable even if he eats a few.

Du Heng used warm water to mix the dough, and Xiao Xiao squatted beside the wooden basin and watched Du Heng mix the dough. Du Heng can now use his spiritual energy to do many things, and he can even do several things at the same time.
For example, right now, he was kneading dough, but the kitchen knife on the chopping board was being controlled by him with his spiritual energy to chop chives. In the large bowl next to him, the chopsticks were beating eggs as if they were held by a transparent person.
This is the limit of what Du Heng can do at the moment, doing three things at once. He is just not very skilled, and sometimes he makes mistakes, like when Xiaoxiao chirped at Du Heng twice, and Du Heng got distracted. Then the chopsticks for beating the eggs fell to the ground, and the egg liquid spilled out of the bowl and onto the head of the little wonton who was passing by.
Xiaoxiao shrank his neck innocently, and tilted his head to look at Du Heng. Du Heng awkwardly apologized to Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wonton: "I'm sorry, I'm not very skilled, and I'm honing my skills recently, so it's inevitable that I made mistakes, please don't be offended."
Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes and laughed. He forgave Du Heng for ignoring him. Because Du Heng was also practicing hard. Du Heng said that when his cultivation level improved, he would be able to take Xiaoxiao to Nanshan to catch fish and shrimps and go out of the village to pick wild vegetables.
After the oil in the pan was heated, Du Heng fried the eggs in the bowl into egg flowers, which he cut into fine pieces and put into the chopped chives. He then cut out some diced fat, but there wasn't much, only the size of an egg.
Du Heng fried the diced fat meat, and after the oil came out, he poured the oil and diced meat into the chopped chives.
It was time to season the food, and Du Heng could not be distracted. Seasoning is the key to the taste. One more spoonful of salt or one less spoonful of salt would make a big difference in the taste!
Du Heng added salt, a little sugar, a little pepper, and a little mushroom essence to the filling. After mixing them evenly, he smelled the fragrance of chives coming from the filling bowl.
The steps to make chive pancakes are similar to those of steamed buns, but the flour used is unfermented. Du Heng quickly kneaded the dough into long strips and pinched them into small pieces. After a while, a bun with a thin skin and large filling appeared in his hand. Then Du Heng pressed the wrinkled side of the kneaded bun on the chopping board. In Xiaoxiao's shocked eyes, he cruelly pressed the bun into a pancake.
The pancake was bigger than Du Heng's palm and one inch thick. Du Heng stuck the pancake directly to the edge of the oil pan, and soon five pancakes of even size were stuck to the edge of the pan.
The temperature in the pan rose, and the dough sticking to the pan slowly became slightly transparent. The green chive filling inside was faintly visible. When one side turned slightly yellow, Du Heng turned it over and continued to fry the other side.
When the other side of the pancake turned slightly yellow, the aroma of chives in the yard was very strong, attracting Wen Qiong to come into the yard: "It smells so good, what delicious food did you make?"
Soon the first pot of chive pancakes came out of the pan. The golden chive pancakes on both sides had thin skin and large fillings. When the skin shrank, some places broke, and the green chive leaves inside poked their heads out. However, they were reluctant to leave their friends, and they just quietly exuded fragrance at the holes, attracting everyone's attention.
Du Heng handed the slightly hot cake to Xiaoxiao and Wen Qiong: "Try it, I wonder if you like the taste."
Xiaoxiao wrapped the cake in his mouth in one bite. After smacking the food for a while, he thought it was especially delicious: "Chirp!" Du Heng was sure of one thing, Xiaoxiao was really not picky about food and his diet was very wide.
Xiaoxiao has been very supportive of Du Heng's cooking. Du Heng was touched but also deeply confused. Could it be that Xiaoxiao was afraid that it would be a shame for him and no one would cook for him, so she deliberately praised him?
Du Heng took the third cake and handed it to Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu, try the chive cake and see if you can accept it."
Xuan Yu wiped his hands and took the cake: "It smells delicious."
Wen Qiong bit open the crust, and the chives and eggs inside were immediately exposed to her eyes. The green chives were dotted with golden eggs, and there were also slightly transparent fat cubes in them. The crust in Wen Qiong's mouth had two textures, one crispy and the other soft.
The crusts were made from the same dough, but the textures were so different. However, when they met again in Wen Qiong's mouth, they both tasted equally delicious. The fillings behind the crust were particularly fragrant. Wen Qiong had never thought that a vegetable as spicy as leeks would change its taste after being seasoned with eggs.
The leeks baked at high temperature become warm, and their spiciness fades, leaving only the fragrance.
As it was her first time eating leeks, Wen Qiong thought she liked the taste. Xuan Yu and Xiao Xiao had the same idea. The leek pancake was really delicious. Xiao Xiao wanted to eat another piece.
Du Heng also picked up a piece of cake and started to eat it. The cake still tasted the same, but the taste of the chives and eggs inside was more fragrant than the chives and eggs in his hometown. As expected of a vegetable managed with spiritual energy, chives are rich in fiber. After eating chives, there will often be silk left between the teeth.
However, the leeks irrigated with spiritual energy do not have this problem. They seem to melt in the mouth. You can clearly feel their presence when chewing, but when swallowing, only the fragrance is left in your mouth.
Du Heng felt that the diced fat played a key role in achieving this taste. Leeks are indeed fragrant, but if only leeks are added without animal oil, it will taste a bit rough.
The fat cubes become fat and smooth after high temperature, and they hide in the chives and play a harmonizing role. With their presence, the pancake with chive and egg filling tastes better.
The chive cakes in the demon world are tastier than the ones in my hometown. Du Heng was in a good mood. He felt that the chives in his field were not as good as the white ones. He had already thought of the recipes for the next two days: fried chives with eggs, fried chives with snails, fried chives with shredded pork...
For those who like to eat leeks, leeks are delicious no matter how they are cooked!
Xiaoxiao chirped at Du Heng twice. He wanted to eat another piece of cake. Du Heng smiled and said, "Eat it."
Just as Xiaoxiao was about to stretch her neck to eat the pancake, Du Heng felt a flash of white light in the kitchen. Xiaoxiao only saw that the plate was empty, and when he looked up, his chive pancake had fallen into Jingnan's hands.
In the past, Xiaoxiao would have protested, but today she didn't say a word. Not only Xiaoxiao didn't say a word, even Du Heng and the others didn't say a word.
Jing Nan has changed. Previously, Jing Nan had black hair and black pupils, and was gentle and modest. Now, Jing Nan's black hair has turned into long silver-white hair, and his eyes have also changed from gentle black to charming gold. Jing Nan, who usually wears green clothes, now wears pure white, elegant and noble, like a god.
It’s just that… gods generally don’t eat leek cakes, and Jing Nan looked at Du Heng suspiciously while eating the cake: “Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?”
A water mirror appeared in front of Xuan Yu, and Jing Nan saw himself chewing a leek cake in the mirror. Jing Nan chewed the cake and stared at himself in the mirror: "Has it become like this?"
Du Heng asked weakly: "Jingnan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Are you okay?"
Jing Nan nodded: "It's fine. This is my true appearance. Don't get excited. I just want to grow a tail, so all the illusions cast on myself before are invalid. Don't be surprised. Hmm... this cake is good."
Du Heng stretched out his claws and touched Jing Nan's silver hair. He couldn't control himself. Jing Nan's hair looked too smooth.
Then he touched a handful of silver, and Jing Nan turned back with resentment: "Don't touch it, you will go bald if you keep touching it."
Du Heng grabbed a handful of Nine-tailed Hair awkwardly. He was like a child who had done something wrong: "Sorry."
Jing Nan returned to her original appearance. Du Heng secretly glanced at Jing Nan while making pancakes. He thought Feng Gui was already stunningly beautiful before, but he didn't expect Jing Nan to be no worse than Feng Gui. Feng Gui's beauty is obvious to all, handsome and domineering. Jing Nan's beauty is more feminine. If he drew eyebrows and put on lipstick on his face, Du Heng would believe that he was a woman.
Jing Nan raised his eyes and said, "Didn't you promise to be my duck?"
Du Heng called Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu, go to the storage bag in the refrigerator, I remember there are still a few ducks." It seems that if I don't make duck for Jing Nan today, this matter will not be resolved.
Du Heng was wondering in his heart: "Jing Nan, logically speaking, you are a fox, don't foxes generally like to eat chickens? Why do you like to eat ducks?"
Jing Nan supported his chin, squinted his eyes slightly, and thousands of charms flowed out from his movements. Jing Nan said: "I like to eat chicken too. Not only do I like to eat it, but we in the Fox Clan all like to eat it. However, Feng Gui and Xiao Xiao are from the Feather Clan, and it would not be good for me to always eat chicken in front of them. In fact, my favorite chicken is Xiao Xiao's."
Xiaoxiao, who was named, rolled her eyes at Jingnan. Jingnan laughed, "They are so fat and tender. You won't even spit out the bones after eating them. Also, I have been coveting your two chickens for a long time. They are so cute and tender. Whenever I feel unwell, I want to eat two of them raw."
Nianniansuisui were squatting on the eaves of the porch. After hearing what Jingnan said, the two little chickens suddenly became angry and rolled out of the yard like two balls.
Jing Nan laughed out loud: "It's really fun..."
Du Heng was extremely helpless: "Jing Nan, can't you just tell the truth?" Jing Nan played with her long hair: "I told you, in this day and age, no one believes the truth?"

Jing Nan said depressedly: "At that time, I was pale and skinny and hadn't transformed yet. It was rare for me to see a fat bird, so I definitely wanted to take a bite. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Du Heng had sweat on his forehead. "Excuse me... ducks... aren't they feathered people? They all have flat hairs. Are you still discriminating against races?"
Xuan Yu said: "Birds that cannot transform and cannot open their spiritual intelligence cannot be considered as feathered people." Jing Nan nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xiaoyu is right."
Jing Nan tilted his head and said innocently, "I am also a fox. Is there anything wrong with foxes loving to eat chickens and ducks? You don't let me go to Nanshan to catch ducks, and you don't let me eat the chickens and ducks you raise. I endure it very hard every day. And my tail is about to grow, and I need to be in a good mood so that my tail can grow well. Can't you even help me fulfill this little wish?"
Du Heng sighed: "I understand. From today on, it's your turn to
