Lanke Chess Edge

After Zao Niang fully agreed, Qiu Feng, Pei Zheng and Lian Baiping certainly had no objections, not to mention that Qiu Feng had eaten the fish made by Ji Yuan before and knew Mr. Ji's craftsmanship, Pei Zheng, as Qiu Feng's master, of course He also heard about this from his disciples, and Lian Baiping came here prepared. He didn't expect Mr. Ji to taste the fish cooked by Mr. Ji himself.

"The three are here later, Ji is going to deal with this fish."

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Ji Yuan made a move of his hand after saying this, and waved a few large whitebait floating in the air towards the kitchen.

"Sir, please!" "Sir, you need someone to help you. Lian can also help with the kitchen, the kind that doesn't use magical powers."

When Lian Baiping spoke, he was flattered, but Ji Yuan just shook his head, said "no need", and told Zao Niang to greet the good guests, and then went into the kitchen alone.

Even though Ji Yuan had already entered the kitchen, Lian Baiping still kept stroking his beard and smiling all over his face. Everyone could tell that he was in a good mood, but he didn't mind that when Yuan left, he was out of shape, and he was still not rude to Zao Niang number.

"Friend Zao Dao, this honey tea has a pleasant fragrance and natural aura. It really is a good tea, and Zao Dao is a friendly tea artist!"

Lian Baiping also bowed to Zao Niang, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, Qiu Feng and Pei Zheng knew that it was not easy to be a woman in Mr. Ji's courtyard, but they were not as cheeky as Lian Baiping, But he just nodded to Zao Niang and praised "good tea" before sitting down.

"You don't need to call me Daoist Zao, you can just call me Zao Niang just like your husband. If you like this tea, you can drink more of it. Mr. Ping usually only gives a cup of tea to others. That's enough for today."

The three of them saluted Zao Niang again to thank her, while the latter smiled and sat on the empty stone bench, took out a book and read it, even if there were three immortal monks with good cultivation by the side, they would not There is no sense of tension or restraint at all, and it is truly in peace.

Lian Baiping took a sip of tea, his eyes shifted from Zao Niang to the big jujube tree nearby, it was already self-evident what the real identity of this woman in green was.

At the kitchen side, there is already smoke rising from the chimney, it is estimated that this will add firewood to the earthen stove that has not been used for a long time, and the tea made by Zao Niang just now is obviously not made with firewood.

Sometimes cooking is a special pleasure, especially when the ingredients are really good.

Standing in front of the cutting board in the kitchen, Ji Yuan waved his hand, and a silver fish landed on the cutting board, still shaking, because the water was peeling away from it, it felt uncomfortable, and instinctively wanted to jump to a nearby place with thicker water vapor. It is in a pot with water gradually boiling on the side.

Ji Yuan smiled, picked up the kitchen knife, and slapped the head of the fish with the back of the knife "bang", immediately knocking the fish out which was impossible to faint, then raised the knife and cut into the head of the fish.

"Crunch~"

The sound was like cutting a handful of solid vegetables, the section of the fish head and body was actually covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and there was only one spine at the break, but no internal organs could be seen.

"Good fish! You are already alive and well, if you give you another hundred years, Ji won't use the knife."

Generally speaking, this kind of fish should be produced by the gathering and transformation of water essence. Generally, it only has a fish shape instead of a real fish. For example, there will be no such things as internal organs, but after a long time, if it is really condensed, Even if it is a real creature.

But the fish in Ji Yuan's hands is even more complicated, it is not a pure water spirit, but a meeting of water and wood, even with Ji Yuan's current knowledge, he knows that this is very rare.

There are five fish in total, some big and some small, and Ji Yuan didn't plan to finish all of them, so he left two medium ones, and cooked the remaining three one by one.

If you want to handle such a precious ingredient, you need certain experience and means, especially if you are not good at Taoism. In the hands of Ji Yuan, this fish can be disassembled like normal fish, cooked, and made into various kinds of fish. Taste, but for another person, it is very likely that the fish will melt into the world directly when it dies. Perhaps the easiest way is to cook the soup, and you can directly get a pot of "water" that looks clean, but in fact retains most of the essence.

But it's also interesting here, because it's not a real creature, so the fish was cut into pieces by fate, but it can still move, and its vitality has not diminished.

After Ji Yuan finished cooking the three fish, the pot over there was already heated up, so he sprinkled oil into the pot, and put in a whole fish with a wave of his hand.

"Zi la la..."

With the sound of oil, the fragrance wafted along with it. The fish that was still alive and kicking just now finally stopped moving. Ji Yuan took a shovel and stir-fried. The aroma of fresh jujube honey.

Three fish, three different recipes, but there is still a lack of seasoning, so when the four of them were drinking tea and reading books in the courtyard, Ji Yuan's voice came from the kitchen.

"Mr. Qiu, you can go and buy some new dried vegetables. The ones at home have been there for several years."

Zao Niang is cultivating on the side of her own spiritual root, and without any obvious bottleneck for the time being, her cultivation base is naturally advancing rapidly. When she came back, Ji Yuan knew that Zao Niang is no longer limited to activities in the courtyard, but he and she are obviously in the courtyard. I haven't been out of the yard once in these years, either I can't, or I don't want to.

So Ji Yuan thinks it's better to ask Qiu Feng to buy it, anyway, he is very familiar with Qiu Feng.

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Qiu Feng was about to answer with a smile, when the long-bearded Weng Lian Baiping stood up first.

"Mr. Ji, why bother fellow Taoist Qiu Feng? The dried vegetables sold in Ning'an County today are the best among young people in Dongjiekou, but the best dried vegetables in Ning'an County are sold in a household in Miaosifangkou. The surnamed family has just opened the altar to dry, and it is the most delicious time."

Lian Baiping said that he had already drank the tea in his cup, then left his seat and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. As long as Ji Yuan didn't stop him, he would really go to make dried vegetables.

It turned out that the bearded man was right, Ji Yuan just stood there in the kitchen for a moment, but didn't say anything to stop him from going, so Lian Baiping opened the courtyard door, not forgetting to say something inside.

"Lian will come back as soon as he goes, don't worry, everyone, he won't let that family suffer!"

Lian Baiping walked out of the gate of Ju'an Xiaoge, his footsteps were as brisk as a young man, there is a saying that it is better to meet him than to be famous, this is the true portrayal of Ji Yuan in his heart.

Ji Yuan, in fact, even though the closed cave of Tianji Pavilion theoretically has no contact with the outside world at all, but he still knows something about him. It was so high that it was impossible for Tianji Pavilion to calculate it.

Even though none of the people in Tianji Pavilion have ever been in contact with Ji Yuan, the more they understand Ji Yuan, the deeper the reverence for Ji Yuan. They even strongly recommend contacting Ji Yuan from the very beginning, but in the end they are a bit worried about gains and losses. Wanting to contact but not daring to contact, until Yu Huaishan sent a message, all the monks of a certain generation in the entire Tianji Pavilion became excited.

Lian Baiping was able to have the qualification to directly come to Yunzhou Nanchui, not only because he was full of courage, but also after several rounds of competition. With this opportunity to spend a period of time with Ji Yuan, how could he not have enough sense of presence?

In Ning'an County, try not to use any supernatural powers and spells. Lian Baiping walked quickly all the way, walked out of Tianniufang, walked through the streets and alleys and went straight to Miaosifang. The pace, young people may not be able to keep up with running, but it still looks like Take your time.

The cries of hawkers along the streets in the middle of the county are endless. Lian Baiping came to Ning'an County for the first time, but he seemed to know the whole Ning'an County like the back of his hand. He didn't ask people or even how to look at the road. It was the closest or most suitable way to turn left or right. road.

Soon, the old man with a long beard arrived at the entrance of Miaosifang, entered an alley on the left, and stopped precisely in front of the second house at the entrance of the alley. Up to now, An Xiaoge has less than half a cup of tea.

The afternoon sun had just been blocked by some houses on the west side, making the dried vegetables drying in the yard of Chen's house covered in shadow.

"Okay, okay, it's almost tanned, and I can try it tonight."

"Hey, hey, this big pot of mustard greens only has this small bag in the end, and I have to send some to my sister and the others."

In the yard, an old woman and a young man were harvesting vegetables. These dried vegetables were drying on two broken bamboo mats, gathering up little by little, and a faint scent of dried vegetables faintly wafted out of the yard.

Lian Baiping's eyes flashed, and he could already see that the dried vegetables on these two mats had a special charm in them. This is a magical feeling. Even ordinary things have their special features, some are very simple. Even if the method is similar, someone can turn decay into magic, and there are not only human factors, but also coincidence with the number of days.

"Ahem, old lady and young man, can you share some of the vegetables in your yard with the old man? The old man will definitely reward you generously."

The two people in the courtyard looked up to the courtyard entrance, and saw an old man in gray clothes with a long beard and a ruddy complexion standing there, looking at them with a smile, or looking at the dried vegetables on the mat.

The old man looked unusual at first glance. The old woman and the young man in the courtyard looked at each other, and the latter spoke.

"How much does the old man want?"

"Not too much, not too much, just the amount of one dish."

That's it? The young man laughed immediately, took a handful from the dried vegetables piled up on the mat, stood up and walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"Can the old man have something to pack?"

"Just put it in my sleeve, I'll hold on to the cuff so it won't spill."

Lian Baiping opened the cuff of his right hand, and the young man didn't say much, and directly put a handful of dried vegetables into his sleeve.

"Thank you, thank you, the value of this dried vegetable..."

"The old man doesn't need to talk about money. It's just a handful of dried vegetables. Even if you go to the market to buy it, it's not worth a lot of money. It's a gift to the husband."

The people of Ning'an County always respect learned people, the old man in front of him is not an ordinary old man, he looks like an old scholar.

"Oh, how can this be..."

Lian Baiping said so, with a smile on his face, but he didn't take the money. Instead, he moved closer and whispered to the young man.

"The old man knows that your elder brother is in the Dazhen army, and now he has entered Zuyue with the army. You must remember what the old man said next, and you must never forget it!"

The young man was slightly taken aback, how did the old man know that his brother was in the army? And invade Zuyue? What happened to the military situation has not yet been reported here.

"Two days later, there will be a letter from your brother. At that time, you must immediately find a gentleman who can read and write a letter to your family, and the above will warn your brother. You are a prodigal, and you will sell one of the treasures in your family, and your brother will attack with the army, and may just hit the East Sea..."

"If you meet the prodigal son of the Zhang family, you should persuade him three times not to sell the treasure. If this person refuses to listen to the advice again and again, you should ask your brother to do everything possible, whether it's borrowing money or pawning things, you must buy it." Take that treasure and bring it home!"

The young man was taken aback by what the old man in front of him said. Could it be that this is a fortune teller? So I subconsciously asked.

"What baby is it?"

Lian Baiping stroked his beard and remained silent, he spoke after two breaths.

"That's the word'blessing' written by an expert. If you can get it, you get it. If you don't meet it or miss it, don't force it. Remember it!"

"Okay, the old man has finished speaking, thank you for this handful of dried vegetables, goodbye!"

After speaking, Lian Baiping saluted the young man, and strode away directly along the way he came.

In the yard over there, the old woman also found it strange to see her son and the old man whispering at the gate of the yard for a long time.

"Son, what are you talking about?"

"Oh... just a fortune teller, talking nonsense..."

"Then why are you still standing there, come and collect the vegetables, it's going to rain today."

"Why!"

The young man scratched his head, then went back to collect the dried vegetables with his mother.
