Chapter 185(1/2)
It has been more than a month since I returned to the village, and the messy things in the village have been sorted out. Everyone has lived a life of eating, drinking and doing nothing. After the Huan Dzi Bead arrived in Du Heng's body, the food he made is rich in spiritual energy. Every day, everyone's belly is round. After a month, the pointed chin of the little feathers has become round.
However, Du Heng has been absent-minded these days. Xuan Yu saw him sitting under the eaves of the corridor and staring at the sky in a daze several times.
On that day, Du Heng stewed a strong pickled soup under the eaves of the corridor, and the fresh smell blew the whole yard. Du Heng moved a small stool and sat next to the stove to clean up the scallions, and glutinous rice cakes lay at Du Heng's feet, squinted his eyes and basked the sun.
When Xuan Yu entered the door, he saw this warm picture. He couldn't help but smile. He put down his backpack, and the toon buds he picked from the South Mountain were placed in the backpack.
The toon buds are only three inches long, and a small handful of toon buds are neatly placed in the backpack. The toon buds in Nanshan are in season at this time. The leaves are red, and the tender toon buds are clustered with clusters of their stems. Their stems are blue and you can smell a smell without picking them up.
Du Heng didn't like the taste of the toon buds. He felt a little excited when he smelled the toon buds. But except for him, Nan Nan and the others liked this smell, especially Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu. They fry eggs with the toon buds, and Xiaoxiao would not stop eating them.
Du Heng looked into his backpack and said, "Wow, so many!" There should be a toon bud at this time last year, but at that time he was busy practicing and was forced to practice every day by Wen Qiong. Not to mention going to Nanshan to pick a toon bud, he couldn't take a breath.
Xuan Yu said slowly: "I haven't finished picking it. I can pick so many more tomorrow." Du Heng said: "Enough is enough, so many are enough to scrambled eggs."
The glutinous rice cake stood up lazily, yawned and stretched, then walked out of the yard with a cat. As long as Du Heng was alone at home, there would always be small animals around him. Sometimes it was every year, sometimes it was glutinous rice cake, and more often it was wontons.
However, today wonton followed Laodao up the mountain, so the glutinous rice cake reluctantly replaced wonton for a while and Du Heng looked at it.
Du Heng picked up two handfuls of toon buds and came out: "It's enough to use so much at noon. Put the rest in the refrigerator." The scrambled eggs of toon are not the better. There is a small handful of toon and a few eggs, which is the most perfect combination.
Xuan Yu responded, and he walked to the kitchen with his backpack on his back and stood in front of the refrigerator. After he opened the refrigerator, he closed it again: "There is no place."
There are too many fresh fruits and vegetables this month, and many vegetables are eaten in the season. The generals are afraid that they will not be able to eat this flavor in the next year, so they go all over the mountains and fields to pick wild vegetables. Take shepherd's purse for example. The shepherd's purse picked back by the generals has stored three major storage bags.
In addition, when I came back from the Dragon Clan, I brought a lot of seafood. Du Heng's refrigerator is now full. Once the door is opened, the things inside are almost rolling out.
Du Heng said: "The refrigerator that was customized in Wanshoufang last year should be good?" A refrigerator is really not enough. Last summer, Xuan Yu had already customized refrigerators in Wanshoufang. But later, there was a case of monsters besieging the village, and I don't know how the modified refrigerator later.
Xuan Yu said: "If you don't say it, I almost forgot. I'll go to Wanshou Workshop tomorrow. However, Yan Hui can make refrigerators in Wanshou Workshop. If he doesn't come back, the refrigerator is most likely not ready yet."
Du Heng put down the toon buds and scallions in his hand next to the pool, and he thought, "Yan Hui? I remember he was still in Shenxu Palace before."
When Du Heng saw Yan Hui in Shenxu Palace, he was shocked. However, he only met Yan Hui for a few times and then he was gone. Yan Hui was still the master of Jiang Shangzhou's weapon refining. Du Heng's previous body was made of the flesh and blood of these two people. Now when it comes to these two people, Du Heng always has a subtle feeling in his heart.
If Du Heng remembers correctly, after they came out of the Demon Demon Formation, Jiang Shangzhou and Yan Hui disappeared. It is very likely that Jiang Shangzhou was locked up, so what about Yan Hui? Did he return to Wanshou Workshop?
Du Heng thoughtfully said, "By the way, Xiaoyu, I have always forgotten to ask you, whose property is Wanshoufang, is it yours or Xixi?"
Xuan Yu said: "It is considered the industry of the beast tribe. However, in those years, Nan Nan didn't care about our affairs, and the people in Wanshou were not very concerned about our things."
Du Heng nodded: "So that's it. By the way, that Yan Hui is also a demon cultivator? What is his body?"
Xuan Yu thought for a while: "If I remember correctly, it should be an armadillo." This answer was beyond Du Heng's imagination. He thought about Yan Hui's nervous look when he saw a stranger. Not to mention, he really looked like an armadillo.
Du Heng said: "I hope he can come back, otherwise the dishes are really not ready."
I originally thought that I would only make one fried toon egg today, but now the refrigerator can't be stuffed, so Du Heng had to find a way to consume the newly picked toon. After thinking about it, he said, "Make another cold toon? Then fry a toon fish?"
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "It's up to you, just arrange it."
After the fresh Chinese toon was removed from the old roots, it was cleaned in the water. The soil and soil in the south of Nanshan were good, and the Chinese toon produced was very clean. The washed Chinese toon buds were still with water droplets. Du Heng stood by the stove with Chinese toon holding them, and he was waiting for the water in the stove to boil.
After the water boiled, he quickly put the Chinese toon into the water to blanch it. After the Chinese toon was in the water, the beautiful red faded and turned blue-brown, and a smell of Chinese toon spread. Xuan Yu quickly drew the Chinese toon smell in the kitchen into the yard. He said to Du Heng with distress: "I'll do it?"
Du Heng smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I won't feel overwhelmed when I get used to smelling it."
Du Heng doesn't like the taste of Chinese toon. Since Xuan Yu learned about this, he told Du Heng not to continue making dishes about Chinese toon, but Du Heng disagreed. Even if he doesn't like to eat, he is willing to try it as long as the people around him have something they like to eat.
Besides, such good Chinese toon buds would be very expensive if they were in their hometown!
Thinking of his hometown, Du Heng's eyes began to empty again. He casually flipped the tomato buds in the pot with chopsticks. He thought so devoted that if Xuan Yu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't know when he would be in a daze.
Xuan Yu said: "Do you want cold water... to get over cold water?" Du Heng suddenly came to his senses. He hurriedly picked up the tofu in the pot: "Oh, I almost blanched it too much!"
The toon buds floated neatly in the wooden basin in the pool, and the cold water allowed the toon buds to cool quickly. The toon buds in the yard had a stronger taste.
Xuan Yu said to Du Heng in a slow voice: "Du Heng, clean up tomorrow."
Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Hmm? Are you going to go out? Oh, are you talking about going to Lingxi Town?"
Xuan Yu shook his head: "Just leave the refrigerator to the Zhou brothers and others. What I said is, let's go home. Didn't you keep saying that you should go back to see your parents in your hometown after the matter is processed?"
Du Heng's eyes shrank, and he was dazed and distracted these days for his parents. In fact, after switching bodies, he completely drew a clear line with Du Heng in the past. Some monks in the cultivation world need various experiences to overcome the tribulation. When they return from their training, what happened during the training can only be considered an experience. Those who contact them during the training will come to an end with the return of the monks.
Even if Qingheng no longer admits Du Heng, it doesn't matter, but he can't get through the hurdle in his heart. He has been thinking about returning to his hometown these days, but he is no longer the Du Heng who once knew nothing about cultivation. He knows very well what kind of risks he has to take to break through two small caves.
It doesn't matter if he takes risks alone, but he can't let Xiaoyu and the others take risks. They finally have a stable life and cannot be ruined by his momentary thoughts.
Du Heng smiled bitterly: "There are thousands of small caves near Taixu Realm, so it's not easy to find the small caves where your hometown is."
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "I know."
Du Heng:!!!
Xuan Yu said: "I know that you can come to Taixu Realm because I have divined some information. If you use the Zhoutian Star Formation, with our strength, you can go back and forth between the two worlds."
Du Heng blinked at Xuan Yu: "Really? Can the Zhoutian Star Formation break through the two realms?"
At this time, Feng Gui's voice came from outside the door: "Of course, otherwise wouldn't the scales that Xiaoyu had dropped over the years mean nothing?"
Jing Nan smiled with his hands in his arms, "Let's go, with the strength of a few of us, it's still very easy to go back and forth. If you want to go back, go back and take a look."
Du Heng's eyes began to be sour again: "You..."
Xuan Yu said: "Nan Nan and I have studied it these days. The Zhoutian Star Formation can be positioned to the small cave heaven when you were Du Heng, but the two worlds have some time differences. If you go back, you must be mentally prepared."
Hearing Xuan Yu's words, Du Heng's heart was raised again: "Psychological preparation..." He understood that Du's father and Du's mother were just ordinary people. The life of monks can reach tens of millions of years, while the life of ordinary people is only decades.
When Du Heng looked up again, he was no longer confused: "I still want to go back and have a look." If he really didn't have that fate, he wouldn't say anything.
Xuan Yu said: "If you decide, we will pack up tomorrow morning and prepare to set off."
At this time, a smiley voice came from the door: "Where are you going?"
Du Heng said: "We are going to my hometown." Xiaoxiao nodded: "I know I know. Du Hengheng is going back to see his parents, and I want to go too!"
Du Heng said: "Xiaoxiao, it is very dangerous to travel through two time and space." Xiaoxiao said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of having uncles and the others here."
Seeing that Du Heng didn't want to take him away, he smiled and hugged Du Heng's legs and swayed: "Take us there!"
Feng Gui was also talking to Xiaoxiao: "It should be no danger to take him to see for a long time." Hearing Feng Gui's words, Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's soft hair: "Okay."
Xiaoxiao smiled sly, and he blinked his big and lively eyes: "Compared to this, did you just say fried fish?"
Du Heng corrected: "It's not fried fish, it's fried toon fish."
The so-called Chinese toon fish is to wrap the Chinese toon that has been blanched and filtered into a pan with a paste.
Xiaoxiao had eaten fried eggs in Chinese toon before and had cold toon salmon, but he had never eaten Chinese toon fish. Now he and Xiao Feather turned into demonic shape and jumped onto the stove. The two hugged Du Heng on the left and right. They stretched their necks to watch Du Heng cooking.
Seeing such a scene, Jing Nan couldn't laugh: "There was only one who laughed at me before, but now it's great, Xiao Yumao has also followed suit."
Feng Gui drank tea slowly and said, "If Qingheng could cook when we were young, I'm afraid we wouldn't be much better than Xiaoxiao and the others."
Jing Nan glared at Feng Gui: "I can't watch it nonsense." Feng Gui smiled and said, "Yes, you just need to eat."
Feng Gui and the others exclaimed more than once that if Qingheng could cook when they were young, why would they have to be pale and thin and despicable? Look at Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyumao, they all eat round and round.
Du Heng skillfully put half a spoonful of flour in a large bowl. He added a little starch and an appropriate amount of salt to the flour, and then he knocked three or four eggs in the basin. The eggs were not enough to soak all the flour, but after Du Heng added water to the basin, the flour mixed with egg liquid turned into a batter.
Du Heng stirred the batter carefully. After there were no particles in the batter and he could hang a layer of batter on the chopsticks, he picked up a few Chinese toons from the basket and put them in the basin.
The batter is relatively thin. After rolling the Chinese toon around, a thin layer of batter was hung. At this time, a large amount of blue smoke had appeared on the oil surface in the pot. After Du Heng stirred it in the pot with a spoon, he could hear a sound from the pot.
When Du Heng put the toon buds into the pot, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared in the pot, and a slight burst sound appeared in the pot. The milky white and slightly flowing batter quickly formed into a white dress. After a while, the dress turned golden, and the toon buds also floated on the oil.
Xiaoxiao looked at the basin and the oil pan. He asked curiously: "Du Hengheng, didn't you say there are fish? Where are the fish?"
Xiaoxiao waited for a long time, and saw that the fried toon was taken out by Du Heng and filtered oil in the basket that was placed aside. He didn't even see Du Heng put the small fish in the wooden basin.
Du Heng smiled and said, "It's not the fish you understand. There is no fish here. Look at the fried toon floating in the oil. Do they look like fish?"
Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyumao looked at it for a while and shook their heads in unison: "It's not like..." No matter how they looked at it, they thought it was fried toon buds.
Du Heng said helplessly: "Okay, this dish will be called fried toon sprouts in the future."
However, Xiaoxiao had an objection again: "No, it's still called Chinese toon fish, it's more cute." Du Heng laughed silently, and he really couldn't imagine the child's idea.
The fried toon coat was crispy, and Du Heng sprinkled a layer of pepper noodles on it. Feng Gui immediately became excited when he saw the pepper noodles: "Hey, there are peppers."
Jing Nan had already picked up a Chinese toon bud that had not been stained with pepper noodles and stuffed it into her mouth. He bit her thin and crispy coat, and the smell of Chinese toon filled her mouth.
Chinese toon is tender and soft when eaten. The crispy coat makes the Chinese toon taste more. After taking a bite, Jing Nan nodded: "This is delicious, better than Chinese toon fried eggs."
Du Heng smiled and said, "Are you tired of eating?" After eating fried toon eggs for several days, Du Heng didn't believe that Jing Nan was not tired of it.
Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyumao were eating Chinese toon fish, and they actually agreed with Jing Nan's words: "We also think Chinese toon fish are delicious! Du Hengheng, you can fry some more!"
Du Heng lifted his sleeves and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me that you can't accumulate food."
The half basket of Chinese toon brought back by Xuan Yu was unable to finish eating. Looking at the fresh Chinese toon buds in the basket, Du Heng carefully stuffed them into the storage bag: "If I can go back, I will bring these Chinese toon buds to my mother."
Du’s mother actually likes to eat Chinese toon, but because Du Heng doesn’t like it, Du’s mother has eaten very little over the years.
As long as Du Heng doesn’t love it, it rarely appears on the dining table of the Du family. Even if Du Heng likes it, even if Du’s father and mother don’t like it, it often appears on the dining table of their family.
Hearing Du Heng say this, Xuan Yu responded: "Okay, bring."
Early the next morning, Du Heng woke up. He stood at the gate of the yard in confusion, looking around, not knowing where Xiaoyu was going. After a while, Feng Gui came out with Jing Nan who was sleeping heavily on his back, and Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyumao were following behind Feng Gui.
Feng Gui said softly: "Where is Xiaoyu?" Du Heng shook his head: "I don't know either."
After a while, Xuan Yu returned from Nanshan, and he carried a basket of tomato buds on his back. He nodded to everyone: "Okay, go."
To be continued...
