After soaking in the medicinal spring, we went out and ate beggar's chicken made by Xuan Kong. I must say, it tasted absolutely amazing!
The pears tasted delicious.
Agu ate without even looking up!
After Xuan Kong finished gnawing on a small wing and sucked on his fingers twice, he suddenly realized that only half a chicken carcass and the chicken's tail were left.
Xuan Kong watched with mixed feelings as Xue Li ate a chicken leg, and then watched the idiot who told him not to kill eating chicken carcasses and was happily munching on them.
Xuanqi was in a daze for half a day, unable to scold either a concubine or her nephew.
Just as Sherry was about to take a nap, Xuan arrived, snorting and dragging someone over.
"I've thought about it, but I still have to say it, otherwise my Dao heart will be unstable!"
Sherry and Agu, whom he had dragged over, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You sabotage my hunt, and when it's my turn to eat, you leave me with only a bite!"
"And you, you're a patient, how can you eat so much? Huh? Are you some kind of imperial concubine? Haven't you ever tasted anything good before?!"
Sydney:……
Agu: ……
System: Pfft, hahaha...
"I've never eaten anything this bad!" Sherry rolled her eyes, smiled slyly, and went back to rest.
Xuan Kong was stunned for a moment, then became even angrier: "What does she mean? It's not tasty, yet you ate so much? Hey, among all my fellow disciples, I'm the best cook!"
Agu: "It's better to have someone to eat than no one to eat, right?! Uncle-Master, you should be happy!"
Agu looked earnest and innocent.
Xuan Kong: ...
System: Pfft—that Agu is a natural-born blackie, hahaha!
"Happy my ass, you brat! Come on, let's have a go!" Xuan Kong was even angrier, and grabbed the person and jumped to the back mountain in a few steps.
"No need, Uncle!" Agu looked at Xuan Kong's dark face and panicked a little.
“Of course I’ll use it!? You call me ‘Uncle-Master,’ so how could I be stingy? I’ll at least teach you a move or two!” Xuan Kong smiled sinisterly.
Then, one afternoon, Agu kept shouting "Ah ah ah ah" on the back mountain, while Xuan Kong kept laughing "Hahaha, again!"
Thankfully, Sherry's soul could see it; otherwise, even just hearing her voice would have made people have all sorts of wild thoughts!
The next day, Sherry heard that there were small boats down the mountain where people could fish and cook on the spot.
We could also invite entertainers to play music or something; Shirley is really looking forward to it!
This is a water town area, where small boat trade is very common.
These regions are crisscrossed by rivers, making waterway transportation convenient, and small boats have become an important means of transportation and trade medium in the area.
Merchants would use small boats to transport goods from one place to another for buying and selling.
As expected, Sherry's proposal was passed unanimously.
Xuan Kong doesn't abstain from alcohol or meat; Ah Gu is honest and straightforward, doing whatever he wants.
Sherry happily set off quietly!
Oh, and she even dressed up like a scholar from Jiangnan, blackening her face and hands.
Then a Taoist priest, a talented scholar, and a shaman, this group set off.
When Shirley left, she thoughtfully instructed her maid, Rufeng, to remain calm.
Then Shirley, Xuan Kong, and Agu quietly slipped away via a side path, leaving the female bodyguard nearly in tears!
I hurriedly released a carrier pigeon!
Because she heard it was more lively at night, Sydney set off in the late afternoon.
I saw a beautiful, feisty woman standing with her hands on her hips, cursing a lecherous man, and there were also vendors hawking their wares and calling out from elsewhere.
This sense of everyday life is so vivid!
"Beautiful lady, do you have any guests?" Sherry gracefully bowed.
The beautiful woman looked her up and down, her gaze lingering on her chest.
"please!"
Sherry happily boarded the boat. The boat was quite clean, and Sherry smelled a special fragrance.
"This spiciness is so intense!" Sherry exclaimed, inhaling the aroma.
There was nothing she could do; she didn't understand why she loved spicy food.
The beautiful woman is charming and has a generous and straightforward demeanor.
"Young master has good taste! Indeed, these are chilies that I specially collected; I even had someone buy them for me!"
Hmm, when this woman is in a good mood, she refers to herself as "this humble servant," but when she was cursing, she called herself "this old lady." So cute!
"Pretty sister, how do you cook this fish?" Sherry asked, seeing the big fish jumping around outside.
"Steaming and making soup!" The beautiful woman smiled radiantly. "I was just trying some new ways to cook it, but the results weren't quite right!"
"There's not much to eat anyway, it's just about the freshness!" Xuan Kong interjected, squatting in the outer room fishing.
Just as Sherry was about to speak, the boatwoman nearby called out to her.
"Oh, young master, that Liu Cuicui can't cook properly, but she always tries to show off her skills. As a result, her cooking gets worse and worse every time. Come here! We still have several boats, and our regular customers all know where to go!"
Sherry noticed that the beautiful woman looked rather unpleasant and embarrassed, and though she wanted to say something, she didn't.
The boatwoman, seeing the beautiful woman's reaction, became even more smug: "Why are you such a fish? You might as well go work on that pleasure boat!"
Sherry's hands moved faster than her brain, and she grabbed a small fish and threw it accurately at her face.
Suddenly, she noticed that her knees buckled and she knelt down. Only Shirley saw Xuanqi grunt and make a move.
"Hey, what's that saying again? There are gods watching over us. Who knows what kind of bad luck we'll suffer later if we commit a sin of speech!" Sherry said in a rough voice, her gender ambiguous. The people on the other side just thought she was a young man!
The boatwoman was both angry and scared. She glared at them hatefully and went back to her cabin.
The beautiful woman looked at Shirley with a gentle smile in her eyes.
"Pretty sister, I have an idea. Can you try it? I've wanted to eat it for so long!" Shirley looked at her happily.
"Of course, I love researching food the most!" The beautiful woman was in a very good mood.
"What kinds of fish are there?" Sherry asked, peeking out. She didn't recognize them.
There are two shad, two ribbonfish and three large grass carp.
Sherry didn't quite understand: "Two big grass carp, I guess!"
The beautiful woman deftly prepared the fish, and Xuan Kong suddenly spoke up: "Not bad, shad is not easy to come by!"
The beautiful woman laughed heartily: "Alas, this is the only skill I have!"
"Make diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish to help it absorb the marinade. Then, marinate the fish with salt and five-spice powder for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
"Hmm, we still need to make the grilled fish base: Put some oil in a pot, heat it up, then add fermented bean paste, hot pot seasoning, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant and the oil turns red. Then add some water, bring it to a boil, then turn to low heat and simmer for a while to allow the base to fully blend."
As Sherry was speaking, Xuan Kong ran out and started operating the system.
"Do you have any vegetables? Like lotus root slices, bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, cabbage, tofu, etc. We can add them in later."
As Shirley spoke, the beautiful woman found lotus root and bamboo shoots.
Sherry thought that she could prepare everything next time, and she was helping to process the ingredients when a simple-looking person jumped onto the boat.
They were suddenly startled.
Then the man held up the items and bowed to Sherry: "Young master, here are the ingredients you requested!"
