Chapter 75 Chinese New Year (Part 2)
Lu Xiaoxiao repeated the movements in the book several times, but just like the first time, she felt nothing.
She looked at the time and it was already nine o'clock, so she decided to stop practicing here for today. Although she didn't practice as written in the book today, at least she had memorized the movements and could perform all the movements smoothly, so it was not completely useless.
Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the kang, drinking soy milk and eating steamed buns, wondering what to eat for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner.
After finishing breakfast, she finally decided on the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner.
She plans to make ten dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, namely braised fish, braised spareribs, big plate chicken, pickled fish, steamed seafood, braised food platter, fried food platter, old duck soup, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, and dumplings, which just represent perfection.
Today she can prepare the time-consuming dishes and put them aside so she won’t be in a rush tomorrow.
The first thing to do is to stew the old duck soup. Lu Xiaoxiao took out a processed duck from the space and chopped it into small pieces. After blanching it, she washed it and put it into the casserole. After adding ginger and pickled radish, she covered the lid and simmered it on low heat.
The next step is to braise the food. She takes out the braising liquid from last time, pours it into the pot, adds some seasonings, and then puts her favorite vegetables in to braise.
The last step was to fry some food. Since it was difficult to control the temperature in a large pot, she went to the space and used a small pot to fry radish balls, meatballs, crispy pork and lotus root dumplings.
She was busy all day from morning to night to prepare these three dishes. She was really exhausted.
After taking a shower, Lu Xiaoxiao was not hungry, so she decided not to eat dinner. She climbed onto the bed and lay down for a while before getting up and starting to practice.
Lu Xiaoxiao guided the gas to circulate in her body, circle after circle, faster and faster. Suddenly, she heard a click and felt another barrier in her body shattered, and she successfully entered the second level of Qi training.
This time she did not stand up immediately, but instead drew Qi into her body again to consolidate her meridians. Even if she had not eaten pork, she had seen pigs run, so she did not read those novels in vain.
The book said that many people's foundations became unstable because they were promoted too quickly. She didn't know if she was promoted too quickly, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Consolidating her meridians was always beneficial to her cultivation.
It was already the next morning when Lu Xiaoxiao had consolidated her meridians more than ten times, so she stopped practicing and went to the living room to start practicing her skills.
This morning she practiced the technique more than ten times, and her movements became more and more skillful, as smooth as flowing water. However, she still could not reach the level described in the book.
In fact, during the process of cultivation, she always felt that she was very close to reaching the realm described in the book, but she could never find the entrance. Could it be that her opportunity had not yet arrived?
Forget it, don’t think about it, just let everything take its course.
Today is New Year's Eve, and Lu Xiaoxiao still has to continue to cook the New Year's Eve dinner. She first steamed the seafood and put it in the space, then continued to cook braised fish, braised spareribs, big plate chicken and pickled fish, and finally fried winter bamboo shoots and a plate of dumplings. The New Year's Eve dinner is finally ready.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Lu Xiaoxiao felt a great sense of accomplishment. She never thought that she could cook so many dishes by herself.
She picked up the chopsticks and began to taste each dish. This one was delicious, that one was delicious too. How come they were all so delicious? She shamelessly gave comments on the dishes for her own amusement.
During the Chinese New Year, almost every family gathers together to have a reunion dinner and stay up all night. However, she spent the New Year's Eve alone. Although she tried hard to pretend to be happy, she was really lonely in her heart.
The more Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more depressed she became. Just when her tears were about to flow out of her eyes, she suddenly heard a loud bang in the backyard, which frightened her back tears. At this moment, she didn't care about being sad. She decided to go to the backyard to see what was going on. Could it be that some wild animal ran in? After all, she was at the foot of the mountain.
Is the male protagonist going to appear... Is he going to appear... Hahaha
