Xuanyu gave the extra mooncakes to Jinghong. According to Xuanyu's feedback, Jinghong burst into tears when she received the mooncakes. Then Jinghong left without saying goodbye the next day. Fenggui and the others didn't say anything after they found out. They felt that Jinghong was much more considerate.
At least she didn't come out to upset everyone, which was pretty good. As for Jinghong's whereabouts, Fenggui could guess it with her toes, she must be in a hurry to see her lover.
Feng Gui looked down upon Jing Hong's willingness to give in: "A dog will always eat shit."
Jing Nan smiled and said, "This is true love. I just can't do it anyway." If Jing Nan had to humble himself and give up everything to chase someone, he would rather be alone for the rest of his life.
The two chatted for a few words and then stopped discussing Jinghong, as if her presence or departure was meaningless. Du Heng felt a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell why, but he just felt upset. Thinking about it calmly, he was just speaking up for Xiaoxiao, but as Xuan Yu said, this was a grudge between Jinghong and them, and had nothing to do with Du Heng.
Looking at the heartless Xiaoxiao, Du Heng felt that he should make more delicious food for Xiaoxiao.
The sun became lazy in the autumn morning. Du Heng sat on a small stool and poured out the peanuts with soil that Yun Zheng and his friends had found from his storage bag. The peanuts as long as fingers were wrapped in the wet soil. Du Heng scattered the peanuts on the ground at random and then ignored them.
Today he wanted to make a dish for Xiaoxiao that would take some time and brainpower. The name of the dish was "Egg Stewed with Eel". At first glance, you may not understand what this dish is, so let's put it another way: Egg Stewed with Eel.
There were more than 20 white-shelled eggs in the pot. After the cold water was put into the pot and the water was boiled for two cups of tea, the eggs were cooked, and then they were soaked in cold water. While the eggs were soaking in cold water, Du Heng mixed half a bowl of meat filling in a bowl.
When Xuan Yu came back with the backpack, Du Heng was busy in front of the stove with his back to him. Xuan Yu put down the backpack and hugged Du Heng from the waist. He left a kiss on Du Heng's cheek. Recently, Xuan Yu likes to hug Du Heng from behind. He is tall and has to bend down a little to put his chin on Du Heng's shoulder. Du Heng likes the feeling of Xuan Yu hugging him, especially when Xuan Yu sways slightly along with his movements, just like a big dog acting coquettishly.
Xuan Yu's voice lingered in Du Heng's ears like a melodious guqin, intoxicating him: "What are you doing?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "Prepare to make fairy eggs." Xuan Yu asked softly, "What are fairy eggs?"
Du Heng kept it a secret: "Guess?" Xuan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... the eggs eaten by gods must have something special. And you're still mixing the meat filling... are you wrapping the eggs with meat?"
Du Heng was amused: "As expected of my Xiaoyu, you are really smart. But you got one thing wrong, it's not the meat wrapped in the egg, but the egg wrapped in the meat."
Xuan Yu looked at the eggs soaking in the wooden basin thoughtfully. He knew that the eggs were cooked without releasing his spiritual sense. How to wrap the meat with the cooked eggs? Xuan Yu thought for a while but still couldn't think of a solution. He asked curiously, "How do you do it?"
Du Heng blinked: "It's a secret, don't peek, otherwise the meat filling won't be able to get into the egg."
Xuan Yu laughed out loud: "Okay~ I won't look. I found some peanuts for you. Didn't you say you wanted to boil salted peanuts today? I don't think there are many peanuts in the storage bag."
Du Heng turned around and saw that Xuan Yu's backpack was full of peanuts covered in yellow mud. Seeing these peanuts, Du Heng was of course happy, but at the same time he felt guilty.
He was happy that Xuan Yu took his words to heart. He felt guilty that Xuan Yu thought a lot about him, but he didn't know what he could do to help Xuan Yu. When he was with Xuan Yu, Xuan Yu had always taken care of him, and Du Heng sometimes felt particularly guilty towards Xuan Yu.
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Du Heng forced a grateful smile: "I'm very happy, but when I think about how you traveled so far for these things, I feel sorry for you."
Xuan Yu showed his white teeth: "What nonsense are you talking about? You and I are Taoist companions. Isn't it natural for me to do things for my Taoist companions? I can understand you and you can rely on me. I think this is the greatest happiness in the world."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu with a smile on his face. To be honest, if he were back home now, he would definitely hold Xuan Yu's hand and bring him to Dad and Mom Du. He wanted to loudly tell all his friends and relatives that this man was his other half, and he could respect him, love him, and understand him. In this life, there would be no other person who would care about him as much as he did.
Xuan Yu let go of Du Heng and rubbed his head. "Be good at making the fairy eggs. I promise not to peek. I'll go and press the dried persimmons. They are almost dried. I'll just pinch them and they will become cakes. Check them again in the afternoon. If they are suitable, we'll seal them up."
Du Heng was filled with happiness. He nodded: "Yes, go ahead. The fairy eggs will be ready when you come back!"
After Xuan Yu left, Du Heng continued to mix the fillings with the bowl. He lowered his head and met Xiao Xiao's sparkling eyes. Du Heng raised his index finger and hushed, "Don't tell anyone about the recipe for the fairy eggs." Xiao Xiao nodded obediently. He turned his head and looked at the little wonton lying next to him, who was wagging his tail innocently.
Du Heng used a bamboo stick to knock a hole in the small end of the boiled egg, and through the hole, he took out the egg white and the yolk inside. With the help of spiritual energy, Du Heng was very fast. He didn't take out the yolk completely, and looking through the small hole, he could see that there was still a layer of yolk inside.
Du Heng used his spiritual energy to fill the meat filling in the bowl into the hollow cavity, and then he sealed the small hole with the egg white. At this time, peel off the eggshell, and you will see the fairy egg with meat filling inside. You can't see anything fancy just by looking at the skin, but as long as you take a bite after stewing it, you will know the secret of this egg.
Before Jing Nan and the others showed up to cause trouble, Du Heng peeled all the eggs and put them on the plate. The egg whites and yolks were not wasted, since Xiao Xiao had them, Du Heng took one and ate it. Besides, there were also wontons, and Du Heng could feed Xuan Yu a few bites of them while he was away.
A wisp of Xuan Yu's soul had once been placed on the wonton. Xuan Yu said that he would only attach his soul to the wonton's body when he was away from home. Du Heng thought about it and understood. If he wasn't particularly worried about himself, who would split his complete soul for no reason? How painful it was.
After the fairy eggs were processed, it was time to process the eels. Although Du Heng was usually not willing to kill fish and chickens, he was very good at this when there was no one around him to rely on. Now with the blessing of spiritual energy, Du Heng felt like he had become an eel harvester.
After the eel is killed with boiling water, it must be quickly fished out and rinsed, otherwise the boiling water will cook the meat. Du Heng quickly got the eel slices cut into strips, removed the head, tail, internal organs and bones, and placed the eels one by one in the colander in front of him. Du Heng placed them with the red meat facing up and the skin facing down.
He still kept the eel bones he took out, so that he could get together in the future and fry them for everyone to use as a side dish for drinking.
Du Heng was paying attention when he was processing the eels. When he finished processing the eels, his kitten still didn't show up. Du Heng was a little puzzled: "Hey? Why is the kitten not here today? Did it hide and sleep?"
Since arriving at Dongji Mountain, the kitten's activity area has expanded. Take the eels, for example. The eels live in the ditches in the mountains, and it takes seven or eight miles to walk there. The kitten brings back half a bucket of eels for Du Heng every day. Sometimes the kitten will take Nianniansuisui with him to catch eels. Du Heng is extremely worried that the three little guys will be eaten by wild animals in the mountains.
However, Jing Nan told him that Xiaomao and Nianniansuisui both had the blood of spirit beasts, and ordinary wild beasts could not hurt the three of them. Du Heng was relieved. He looked at the sky. It was still early, and the three of them must have gone out to play.
Compared with the running around Nian Nian Sui Sui, the geese raised by Du Heng are so well-behaved. Jing Nan once promised that the geese would fly away when their wings became strong, but his geese are still playing neatly on the hillside outside the platform. As long as Du Heng calls them, they will run over to ask for food and be petted.
After looking around at his animals, Du Heng began to cook his raw eel. Raw eel means to use a small wooden hammer or the back of a knife to loosen the meat on the meat side of the eel, so that the soup can enter the meat during stewing, making it more tender and delicious.
But don't use too much force when hammering, otherwise the meat will become rotten and it will be a pot of minced meat after stewing.
This is a delicate job, but Du Heng does it quite smoothly. He holds the kitchen knife in his hand, knocks from one end to the other and then changes direction and knocks crosswise, and it will be done in a moment.
The beaten eel meat was no longer smooth, and streaks of minced meat appeared on the pink meat. Du Heng cut them into two-inch long eel segments and placed them in a colander for later use.
After the eel slices are ready, you can heat the oil in the pan. Du Heng no longer knows what he has fried in the oil in the pan, but he has fried a lot of things. Fortunately, the color of the oil is still clear, not the black color of gutter oil.
When pouring the oil, Xiaoxiao stretched his neck to watch again. Du Heng patted him on the buttocks and said, "Get off." Xiaoxiao moved two inches to the side, then looked up at Du Heng, meaning to tell Du Heng that he had already moved and he should not be chased away.
Du Heng covered his face and smiled, saying that he was lucky to have met an elder like Feng Gui. If he had met an elder like him, he would have been spoiled into a naughty child sooner or later.
After the oil was heated, Du Heng threw the prepared eel pieces into the oil pan. The eel meat contains a lot of water, and the pan exploded as soon as it was put into the pan. The eel skin also made crackling sounds after being fried, and oil splashed all over the stove.
Du Heng took a step back holding Xiaoxiao, then stepped on Xiao Wonton's foot, causing chaos in front of the stove.
Jing Nan saw this scene when he came out: "Oh, what a lively scene." Du Heng was covered in dust and used his spiritual energy to protect himself. He fished out the slightly curled eel slices fried in the pot: "Hey, don't mention it."
Little Wonton was whimpering in grievance. Jing Nan glanced at it and said, "You're already a grown dog, yet you're still whimpering? Do you have any shame?" Little Wonton's whimpering stopped abruptly, and it looked at Jing Nan with resentful eyes.
Jing Nan shrugged indifferently: "Only small dogs have the right to whine. Big dogs have to bear the grievances themselves. Isn't it just someone stepped on your foot? Is it necessary to whine?"
Du Heng scooped the eel into a plate to filter out the oil. When he heard Jing Nan say that, he quickly protected the wontons: "Jing Nan, please don't say that about my wontons. It's my fault for stepping on them."
Du Heng squatted down and held Wonton's paw: "Oh, it doesn't hurt anymore." Wonton narrowed his eyes and stuck out his tongue. Du Heng rubbed it: "Wonton is a good dog. Even when he grows up, he can still cry."
After comforting Xiao Wonton, Du Heng washed his hands and continued to fry the eel slices.
Jing Nan stared at Wonton and whispered, "You used this trick when you were a child. Are you still using it now? How shameless." Wonton lay down calmly, staring at Du Heng's back with gentle eyes.

After re-frying, the eel pieces are golden on both sides and can be prepared for the next step.
Du Heng likes to eat tiger skin eggs. After the round eggs are fried in the oil pan, a layer of uneven shell will appear on the outside, which is chewy to eat, and some soup can be hidden inside. Du Heng took a fairy egg, put it in the colander and put it in the pot.
It's not that he is not bold enough. He often fries tiger skin eggs in his hometown. Whole eggs are easy to fry. After the oil reaches the temperature, tiger skin will appear on the surface in a short time. However, he is using fairy eggs now. The fairy eggs he eats in his hometown are stewed with raw eggs, which are directly thrown into the pot for stewing.
Du Heng was afraid that if he threw all the magic eggs in at once, the meat inside would get fried and the egg would be ruined. Fortunately, the oil temperature was high enough, there was no moisture on the egg surface, and the hole he made was very small, and he used egg white to cover the hole. The magic egg sizzled in the pan and soon became a golden tiger skin egg.
Du Heng's worry did not happen. The meatballs did not explode. After being fried into tiger skin eggs, it was not even possible to see the holes in the eggs. So he threw the remaining eggs into the pot without hesitation. After a burst of crackling sounds, he got a basin of golden eggs.
Xiaoxiao had already smelled the fragrance coming from the tiger skin eggs. He really wanted to eat one, but Du Heng told him that the meat filling inside was not cooked and could not be eaten casually.
While the oil in the pot was still hot, Du Heng poured a bowl of garlic into the pot. This was the garlic seeds he had collected before the plum rains. There was a dish in his hometown called stewed eel with garlic, which used large garlic seeds. After the garlic seeds were fried and then stewed, they not only did not have a pungent and pungent smell, but also had a particularly soft and glutinous texture.
Du Heng likes to eat the garlic from the eel stewed with garlic. Many people will add a handful of chestnut kernels when making this dish, but Du Heng feels that garlic seeds are more to his liking than chestnut kernels.
The garlic seeds turned golden after being fried, and Du Heng placed them in a large bowl beside him for later use. He drained the oil from the pan and left only the bottom oil.
Seeing Du Heng take out a piece of pork belly, Xiao Xiao chirped in doubt. Du Heng said, "This dish must contain animal oil. Don't worry. You will know when I cook it."
Du Heng was slicing meat, Jing Nan and Xiao Xiao stretched their necks to watch: "Oh~" Du Heng stopped what he was doing, and pushed Jing Nan to the chair next to him: "Daxianer, can you please stop making trouble?"
Jing Nan was stunned for a moment: "Huh? I'm causing trouble?? I, Jing Nan, am both civil and martial, I can handle both housework and the kitchen, I'm causing trouble?" Unconvinced, Jing Nan was furious, but Du Heng ignored him. He could only grab a handful of peanuts and peel them to eat: "How can this be!"
Du Heng pushed the thinly sliced pork belly into the pot and stir-fried it. The fat of the pork belly slowly separated out and the meat slices turned slightly yellow. Du Heng pushed the pork belly to the side of the pot and put shredded ginger in the fat.
After the ginger shreds were stir-fried until fragrant, he added soy sauce to the pot. The meat slices in the pot were immediately stained with soy sauce, and Du Heng added two large spoonfuls of milky white soup.
Xiaoxiao looked at Du Heng in confusion. Where did Du Heng scoop out the soup? When did he put the eel bones in the casserole? Xiaoxiao didn't even notice!
Du Heng fished the eel bones out of the casserole and placed them in a colander. "I was going to add broth, but I thought I'd use the ingredients that were available, so I used eel bone broth."
Xiaoxiao was still confused, so when did Du Heng stew the eel bone soup? However, when he saw the eel bones in the basket, he didn't care about it. He liked the eel bones fried by Du Heng, which were crispy and delicious.
The milky white soup was stained with brown sauce. Du Heng added salt and sugar to the soup to season it. He tasted the soup and nodded with satisfaction. The taste was not bad. It would become more flavorful after stewing.
He poured the fried eel slices and fairy eggs into the pot, and when the soup in the pot boiled, he transferred all the ingredients into the casserole. The key word for the fairy egg stew is the stew. The stew is incomplete without a casserole!
Du Heng placed the bubbling clay pot on the stove and said to Xiaoxiao as he closed the lid: "Xiaoxiao, keep an eye on it for me. Remind me to add the garlic seeds after a cup of tea and a stick of incense."
He smiled and nodded. What he cared about was when Du Heng would fry the eel bones for him.
Du Heng saw the desire in Xiaoxiao's eyes, and he poured... water into the pot? Why water? Where's the oil? Where's the fried eel bones? Xiaoxiao was unhappy.
Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head and said, "I'll cook some salted peanuts for you, and you'll be better soon." Hearing that there were peanuts, Xiaoxiao became happy again.
However, the peanuts had not been washed yet, and there was still mud on the shells. Du Heng had a clever idea. He spread the peanuts on the platform in advance, hoping that the sun would dry the mud on the surface. The yellow mud on the shells of the peanuts that were poured out in the morning had turned from dark yellow to light yellow. Du Heng filled most of the basket with peanuts.
He shook the basket, and the dry dirt fell off the peanut shells, landing on the ground below the basket, forming a shallow layer of loose soil. After shaking it a few times, the outer skin of the peanut shells was very clean, and it could be washed clean after a few times.
Du Heng carried the basket and walked to the lower level of the cave. There was a stream next to the platform they came from. After washing the peanuts in the deep water of the stream several times, the skin of the peanuts was washed clean. However, peanuts grow in the soil after all, and no one takes care of them when they grow, so the washed peanuts are not as good-looking as those sold in my hometown.
Du Heng doesn’t care whether it looks good or not, as long as it tastes good.
He returned to the platform with the basket in his hand. When he passed by Lao Dao's room, he heard the sound of Lao Dao and his friends fighting. Du Heng stood at the door and said, "I'm going to cook salted peanuts. Come down and eat them."
The ground shook, Yun Zheng opened the door, and on the wall behind him was a large letter "Zhou Lianhua". Why was he so sure it was Zhou Lianhua, because Zhou Xiyue was trying hard to dig his brother out of the wall.
It must be because Zhou Lianhua was distracted when she heard about salted peanuts, and Yun Zheng took the opportunity to attack. Du Heng felt that if he were to practice with the generals, the person who would be stuck on the wall would definitely be him. No one else would say that Yun Zheng, who looked the most gentlemanly and polite, was very ruthless. Last time, Du Heng saw with his own eyes that Yun Zheng chopped off Chonghua's arm with an axe.
Yun Zheng bowed respectfully, his voice filled with anticipation and joy: "Thank you, Mr. Du."
Du Heng grinned: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys continue, I'll notify everyone when it's done." He had to retreat quickly, otherwise the excited generals would pull him and make gestures, and he wouldn't be able to get up.
Du Heng took a large basin and poured half a bucket of water into it. He poured the washed peanuts into the water. Some of the peanuts sank after entering the water, some floated on the water with their shells, and some were suspended in the middle.
Du Heng fished out the peanuts floating on the water and placed them next to Jing Nan: "These peanuts are not well grown and are very tender. You can eat them directly. If you have nothing to do, you can help me peel the peanuts and dry them."
Jing Nan blinked: "You want to nourish your stomach?"
Du Heng was stunned: "Huh? You know?" Peanuts that are picked before they have fully grown will become shriveled even if they are dried in the sun. These peanuts will taste very sweet.
Mr. Du has a bad stomach, and Mrs. Du heard of a recipe from somewhere, so she bought this kind of deflated peanuts. She let Mr. Du eat a handful of them on an empty stomach in the morning, saying that it can nourish the stomach. It's no wonder that Mr. Du's stomach problems have improved a lot after eating them.
Du Heng thought that these tender peanuts would not have much meat after being boiled, so it would be better to dry them into shrunken peanuts, which would be good for cooking porridge or eating raw. I didn't expect Jing Nan to think of this at the first time. I have to say that Jing Daxianer is an excellent doctor.
Jing Nan grabbed Du Heng's pulse with his backhand. He squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment: "Hmm...there's nothing wrong with your stomach. Open your mouth and let me see."
Du Heng opened his mouth and let Jing Nan look at his tongue. He quickly reacted: "I'm not sick in the first place. I'm just preparing in case of emergency."
Jing Nan said slowly: "There's nothing wrong with my stomach, I just have a little kidney deficiency. Didn't Xiaoyu give you spiritual energy when you were practicing dual cultivation with you? How did you get kidney deficiency?" Du Heng's old face turned red. Jing Nan really dared to say anything!
Jing Nan seemed to be thinking about something: "Well...but your condition is indeed not suitable for too strong an infusion of spiritual energy. Rapid advancement is not good. It is better to be more solid. So, I will make some medicine for you later, and you can drink a bowl every day before going to bed. Let Xiaoyu be more restrained..."
Du Heng covered Jing Nan's mouth with a red face: "Stop talking, Master Jing, I was wrong, I was wrong, wasn't it?" He just wanted to find someone to help peel peanuts, but Jing Nan created so many problems for him. It was harder than climbing to the sky to command Jing Nan to do things.
Jing Nan put his hands in his pockets and said, "I'll tell Xiaoyu." Du Heng lowered his head and wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into. In front of the child, couldn't Jing Nan give him some face? !
Du Heng poured the peanuts that had sunk in the water into a large pot. He added a handful of star anise, a few bay leaves, and a small piece of cinnamon. After adding the right amount of salt, he tasted it. The salt water should be slightly saltier so that the flavor can penetrate into the peanuts. After confirming that the taste was good, he covered the pot.
Xiaoxiao squatted beside the table, peeling tender peanuts without complaint. A handful of peanut kernels had already appeared in the basket in front of him. The freshly peeled peanut kernels were fresh and tender, and Xiaoxiao ate them while peeling them.
Du Heng was about to burst into tears. He was so stupid. With Xiaoxiao being such a good nut-peeling chicken next to him, why did he go to find the lazy Jing Daxianer? Now, he was going to start taking drugs tonight.
222
The time of one stick of incense and one cup of tea was soon up, and Xiaoxiao reminded Du Heng in a chirping voice that it was time to plant the garlic seeds.
When the lid was opened, an alluring aroma of meat came out of the casserole. Amid the bubbling sound, Du Heng poured the fried golden garlic seeds into the pot. The fairy eggs in the pot were dyed, from golden eggs to sauce color, which looked particularly tempting. The eels in the soup were shaking their bodies happily, and the garlic seeds in the pot wanted to press on them, but they were shaken into the soup.
The aroma on the platform became stronger and stronger. Du Heng called Xiaoxiao again: "You can eat after one stick of incense! We just need to cook a meal. Do you still want to eat stewed eggs today?"
Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment. Recently, Du Heng didn't want to cook new dishes, so he used stewed eggs to trick him. Although stewed eggs taste good, he was tired of eating them every day. But what else could he eat if not stewed eggs? Both pots were full. In addition to stewed eggs, lotus leaf chicken, and taro braised pork, what other steamed dishes could he eat?
Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to eat the lotus leaf steamed pork?" "Chirp!" Eat it! You'd be a fool not to eat it!
Du Heng took out a piece of pork belly from his storage bag, cut it into thin slices and put it in a large bowl. He poured out some rough grains from a pottery jar, which were all crushed spiritual rice, but unlike ordinary rice noodles, these spiritual rice were not crushed evenly and the grains were quite large.
There is some red powder mixed in the Lingmi crumbs, which makes the rice noodles turn red. It smells like the five-spice powder that Du Heng often uses to stew meat, and also like the smell of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.
Xiaoxiao, who was squatting nearby, took a sniff and started sneezing: "Sneeze! Sneeze!"
Hearing Xiaoxiao sneeze, Du Heng shook his hand and more rice noodles fell out. He put the extra rice noodles into the storage bag with a smile: "Xiaoxiao's sneeze is so cute." Xiaoxiao: "Sneeze!"
Xuan Yu came back at this time, holding a brown persimmon in his hand, which had been squeezed flat. He handed the persimmon to Du Heng and said, "Is it okay to squeeze it like this?"
Du Heng nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, that's all right, that's all right." Xuan Yu smiled and said, "That's all right."
Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and faced Xuanyu, who handed the persimmon cake to Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao ate the persimmon cake with a slurping sound, then tilted her head and spat out a persimmon stalk.
Xuan Yu pressed his hand on Du Heng's lower back. Du Heng felt his legs go weak and his body involuntarily fell to the side.
Xuan Yu helped Du Heng up, and Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu in confusion: "Xiao Yu, what are you doing?"
Xuan Yu rubbed Du Heng's lower back, and Du Heng felt a warm current flowing into his body through his palm. Xuan Yu said gently: "I heard from Jing Nan that I will be more restrained from today. Can you drink a little medicine from today? It is reasonable to say that Jindan cultivators should not have kidney deficiency, so it is better to be cautious."
Du Heng felt bitter: "Jing Nan, that bastard, didn't I just let him peel some peanuts? Did he have to cheat me like this?"
Xuan Yu took the jar from Du Heng: "He is doing this for your own good. If he hadn't been here, I wouldn't have noticed this. It's my fault..." Xuan Yu sniffed the rice noodles in the bowl: "Isn't this... the rice noodles that were pounded with the copper mortar and pestle before?"
Du Heng said, "Yes, I'll make lotus leaf steamed pork for Xiaoxiao. It's a little spicy, but Fenggui can eat it. If the main dish I made today isn't spicy, I think Fenggui will complain."
Xuan Yu put the jar in the refrigerator. When he came back, he held a steamer and lotus leaves in his hands: "Let me do it? You sit down and take a rest."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu, and confidently handed the bowl of meat to Xuan Yu: "I feel relieved to have you here. I'm just worried that the marinating time is not enough. Can you help me carve a formation on the bowl?"
Xuan Yu took the big bowl and used his spiritual energy to draw a simple formation on the outside of the bowl. Then he placed the bowl on the table and drew a complicated formation on the table next to the bowl. When the big bowl was placed on the formation, spiritual light began to flash on the formation.
Du Heng added chopped green onion, shredded ginger, white wine, soy sauce, and appropriate amount of sugar and salt to the bowl and mixed them evenly. The evenly fat and lean pork belly slices were dyed with sauce color. The formation began to activate. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the surface of the meat slices, but the taste of the sauce had already begun to penetrate into the meat slices, and you could feel it when you ate it later.
Du Heng took this opportunity to wash the lotus leaves and spread them in the steamer. After trimming the lotus leaves slightly, they looked very neat. Du Heng was going to put some vegetables under the steamed meat so that the vegetables would be cooked when the meat was cooked.
He looked at Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, do you want potatoes or yams as the vegetable dish under the steamed meat? There are also pumpkin and taro options, which one do you want?"
Xiaoxiao thought about it and chirped twice, and Xuanyu said, "Pumpkin."
Du Heng took out a fist-sized pumpkin, and he skillfully peeled the pumpkin and picked out the pumpkin seeds, then washed the pumpkin and cut it into even-sized slices and spread them on the lotus leaves. The meat was almost marinated at this time, and Du Heng picked out the ginger and green onion knots from the meat.
Xuan Yu poured the rice noodles prepared by Du Heng into the meat, and Du Heng mixed the meat slices and rice noodles evenly. Just as the two of them were cooperating tacitly, Feng Gui and Jing Nan appeared one after another.
As soon as he saw Du Heng, Feng Gui stared at Du Heng's lower back with ill intentions, which made Du Heng feel creepy. He moved weakly and said, "What...what?"
Feng Gui looked at Xuan Yu: "You are so promising. You made me suffer from kidney deficiency." Xuan Yu said nothing and let Feng Gui mock him. Fortunately, Feng Gui only said this. The next sentence he said was to look at Du Heng: "I have the golden feather bones offered by the Feather Clan. They are the best for replenishing Qi. I will send them to you later."
Du Heng felt guilty and said, "No, no, I'm fine..."
Feng Gui glanced at Du Heng without any expression: "Well, you are indeed fine." Feng Gui's consciousness fell on the meat in Du Heng's hand: "What is this? It smells spicy."
Feng Gui's aura was particularly strong today. Du Heng felt a little guilty. He said weakly, "I made lotus leaf steamed pork. Don't you like spicy food? This is spicy."
Feng Gui smiled: "I smell it. How is this made? Is the secret the rice flour on the outside of the meat?"
Du Heng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Yes, this rice noodle is different. It is made by frying spiritual rice and spices and then pounding them into pieces." There is a big bag of spices alone, not counting the peppercorns and chili peppers mixed in it.
Du Heng spread the red meat dipped in rice flour on the pumpkin. He used chopsticks to slightly turn the meat slices, trying to spread them evenly. Then he closed the lid and placed the steamer on the washed rice. He liked to cook in one pot, which was easy and labor-saving.
After the flames at the bottom of the pot ignited, Du Heng closed the lid of the pot. Xiaoxiao reminded Du Heng that the fairy egg stew was ready!
I have to say that Feng Gui and the others are very punctual. Maybe all foodies have this intuition. Anyway, Du Heng always feels that as long as he makes something good, Feng Gui and the others will run faster than rabbits.
After opening the lid, the soup in the casserole has become thick, and the fairy eggs and eel slices are coated with a thick sauce. The fresh and fragrant smell makes people's stomachs swell with appetite.
However, this is not the end. Du Heng also sprinkled a pinch of chopped green onion on top. In fact, he should also add some minced garlic and pour a spoonful of boiling oil on the minced garlic. However, he had already thrown in the garlic seeds, so this step can be skipped!
Xuan Yu moved the casserole to the big table. The generals stood around the table and said, "Hmm... didn't you say... salted peanuts? How come it became eggs?"
Du Heng picked up an egg and put it in Xiaoxiao's bowl, then picked up another egg and put it in his own bowl. He smiled and said, "This is a divine egg. Don't be polite. You will know after you try it."
He blew on the egg skin symbolically, then passed the egg to Xuan Yu's lips: "It's a fairy egg~" Xuan Yu smiled: "It's a fairy egg with the meat running into the egg."
Xuan Yu took a bite of the egg, and the soup immediately came out of the tiger skin that was full of soup, and the soup slid down Xuan Yu's lips. Du Heng quickly wiped the corners of Xuan Yu's mouth with a handkerchief: "Is it delicious?"
Xuan Yu's eyebrows relaxed: "Delicious."
Even an ordinary egg in such a soup would be delicious enough, not to mention the magical egg with its secrets inside. Under the juicy and chewy tiger skin is the smooth egg white, and in the egg white is the delicate yolk. The most amazing thing is that there is a ball of delicious meat wrapped in the middle of the egg yolk!
A variety of flavors and textures blend in your mouth. The fairy egg is indeed worthy of its reputation!
The generals soon discovered the secret of the magical egg. Chonghua exclaimed: "There is meat inside the egg yolk! Du Heng, how did you do it? It's amazing, isn't it?"
Xuan Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "This is Du Heng's secret, don't tell anyone else." Du Heng was embarrassed and said, "It's just a little trick. It won't be interesting if I tell you about it."
Feng Gui looked at the meat ball in the middle of the egg yolk and guessed: "Could it be possible to use spiritual energy to stuff the raw meat directly into the raw egg yolk?" Jing Nan thought about it and said: "Well, it's feasible."
Du Heng and Xuan Yu looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't tell them! Xiao Xiao, who knew the inside story and had eaten a lot of egg yolks, was eating the fairy eggs in the bowl. Ah, he liked this egg so much that he could eat ten of them!
The secret of the fairy egg lies in the fresh meat in the middle, and the secret of the raw knock lies in the minced meat. The eel segments that are stewed to perfection are fat, tender and flexible. The meat after frying is not as soft and tender as the eel shreds in the eel noodles I ate before, but it still has a little chewiness.
The boneless raw meat did not have any earthy smell. If the generals had not known that it was an eel, no one would have associated the drastically changed piece of meat in front of them with an eel.
The garlic seeds soaked in the soup and stained with a layer of sauce were discovered by Lao Dao. Lao Dao picked them up and threw them into his mouth. After being stewed, the garlic seeds melted in a sip, and only the subtle garlic fragrance could be tasted at this time. The soft and glutinous garlic seeds conquered Lao Dao at once. Lao Dao thought that the garlic seeds tasted better than raw ones, and he picked up the garlic seeds one by one and ate them.
By the time others discovered the secret of garlic seeds, most of them had already gone into Lao Dao's stomach. Looking at Yun Zheng's subtle gaze, Du Heng felt that Lao Dao would be beaten up by everyone in the afternoon.
The casserole was still bubbling, and before they knew it, everyone's noses were sweating. Chonghua said in confusion, "It's strange, this dish isn't spicy, why does it get so hot while eating?"
Xiaoxiao shook her head and chirped twice. Xuanyu translated, "Because this is the egg that the gods eat. You will definitely feel hot after eating it."
Everyone burst into laughter: "That makes sense!"
