12. Chapter Twelve
The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and Bai Ze had a rare slight curiosity. He squatted beside Zhao Xinyi, picked up another chicken that had not been smashed, and squeezed it hard, and the yellow mud around the chicken turned into debris and fell all over the ground.
Once the yellow mud is removed, it is just lotus leaves, which can completely block the fragrance emitted by the chicken itself. Compared with the taste of barbecue, the taste of beggar chicken is mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves, which becomes less heavy, but has another different attraction.
Bai Ze moved his hand, and the yellow mud crumbs on his hand disappeared instantly, and his whole hand became clean again. He held the beggar chicken and felt as if he was hot at all.
He sent the chicken to Zhao Xinyi and asked her: "Is that true?"
Zhao Xinyi nodded blankly, she forgot that there was also magic power, a method of removing yellow mud, so she didn't need to use a stone to smash it.
However, it didn't take much effort to smash the chicken with his hand. Moreover, she had almost finished smashing the yellow mud of the chicken, so she didn't change it. She used a stone to smash the yellow mud around the chicken.
Bai Ze smelled the fragrant but not greasy smell of chicken and asked Zhao Xinyi: "What is this food?"
"Beggar chicken." Zhao Xinyi replied to him while cleaning the yellow mud around the chicken in his hand.
"Beggar? Why did you call this name?"
"It is said that this chicken was invented by a beggar, so it was called Huaji."
Zhao Xinyi explained casually, then stood up, slowly removed the lotus leaves, and slid the chicken along the lotus leaves into the wooden basin.
At this time, although Ling'er and Miao'er, who were tempted by food, were afraid of Bai Ze and Liu He, they still uncontrollably showed longing eyes at the food.
Ling Yao followed Zhao Xinyi and asked her if there was anything she needed to help.
Zhao Xinyi shook her head and reached out to Bai Ze: "Let me deal with this chicken too."
"Oh, okay." Bai Ze didn't care and gave her the chicken.
Beggar chicken is as popular as barbecue. After Zhao Xinyi cut the meat into small pieces with a knife, it was wiped out by a group of people who ate quickly within a few minutes.
Even the various mountain mushrooms stuffed into the chicken's belly by Zhao Xinyi were not left.
It absorbs the various essences of chicken and the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the taste of mountain mushrooms is even better than the chicken itself. Bai Ze has a special liking for them, so he eats the most.
Zhao Xinyi touched her six-suffered stomach, said to Bai Ze, and then walked into the kitchen to see the fish soup she had stewed for a long time.
Bai Ze waited outside for a while, and before he could wait for Zhao Xinyi, he walked into the cave.
Bai Ze has the highest status in this entire cave, so naturally no one dares to stop him.
Bai Ze took leisurely steps and slowly walked into the cave.
He turned a blind eye to the simplicity of the cave, but was attracted by the smell coming from the kitchen. He never paid attention to these external objects, and even his own palace was built by him after Liu He appeared.
However, when he walked to the kitchen door, he happened to see a hole that broke out from the kitchen and protected it with a barrier.
Bai Ze was a little confused. Everyone was in the cave and there was no danger here. Why use the barrier to protect the entrance of the cave?
Moreover, looking at the fluctuations of the immortal power in the barrier, he could tell at a glance that it was Zhao Xinyi's work. Is there something that Zhao Xinyi values very much?
Bai Ze couldn't help but stand there and think.
However, although he was confused, he had no idea of breaking the barrier and going in to take a look. If this was not the barrier arranged by Zhao Xinyi, he would not even have the idea of thinking too much. Such a small thing is not worthy of his concern.
However, because he had such a little relationship with Zhao Xinyi, he couldn't help but think more when doing things. This was not like his personality at all, but he couldn't control it.
He could only think in his heart that he had done something wrong, so it would be normal for him to care more about Zhao Xinyi.
When Zhao Xinyi came out with the fish soup, he saw Bai Ze revealing all the thoughtful expressions towards the cave she protected with the barrier.
She was startled and thought Bai Ze had found Dandan inside. Although she didn't know what she was afraid of, she instinctively didn't want Bai Ze to know Dandan's existence.
Zhao Xinyi forced himself to calm down, smiled at Bai Ze, pretended to be nothing, and asked, "Bai Ze, what's wrong?"
Bai Ze came to his senses and shook his head at Zhao Xinyi: "Nothing is wrong."
"Well, let's go outside to drink fish soup. This is the fish caught from Wanhua Lake, it's very fresh."
Zhao Xinyi and Bai Ze talked about the fish soup in their hands, hoping to divert his attention.
Bai Ze turned his head and looked at the cave barrier, pressed down the weirdness in his heart, followed Zhao Xinyi out, and could still distract her words.
The fish soup was as fresh as Zhao Xinyi imagined, but she didn't make enough, so she put the fish soup in the pottery pot in one bowl by one.
After drinking the fish soup, I knew that Zhao Xinyi had no food here and Bai Ze did not stay in the cave for too long.
He put down the bowl in his hand and smiled gently at Zhao Xinyi: "You cook very well."
"Just like it." Zhao Xinyi also stood up.
"Yes." Bai Ze responded, stretched out his hand to Zhao Xinyi, and a crescent-shaped white jade was placed in his hand.
The jade is crystal clear, covered with a slight mist, and the fairy spirit is almost condensed into solidity.
He handed the jade to Zhao Xinyi: "Thank you for your hospitality today."
Zhao Xinyi was flattered and waved his hand quickly: "No...no, it's just a meal, not worth such a heavy gift."
"I said it's worth it, it's worth it." Bai Ze smiled softerly at Zhao Xinyi, stuffed the jade in his hand directly into her hand, and then disappeared from the spot with Liu He, without giving Zhao Xinyi any chance to refuse.
Miaoer and Ling'er seemed to feel a little inappropriate about their behavior of eating for nothing.
Although they also helped prepare these ingredients, compared to Zhao Xinyi's hard work in preparing the meal, would they prepare those ingredients without any effort?
Seeing that Gods with respect for their status as the God of Bai Ze took out a gift to thank Zhao Xinyi, Miaoer and Ling'er also took out the things they carried with them, and stuffed them into Zhao Xinyi's hand one by one.
After stuffing, he said embarrassedly: "Our gifts are indeed not as good as the God, but they are also our wishes. I hope Xin Yi, you don't dislike them."
Zhao Xinyi didn't want to: "A lot of these ingredients are prepared by you, and I'm willing to treat you to this meal, so I don't have to give me a gift."
As she said that, she handed the gift back to Miaoer and Ling'er: "And I don't want it either. If I treat me as a friend, I will take the gift back."
"This..." Miaoer and Ling'er looked embarrassed.
"There's nothing like this...that..., take it back quickly, otherwise I will have no portion for you if I make delicious food here next time."
When he heard Zhao Xinyi say this, Miaoer and Ling'er quickly brought the gift over.
Xin Yi's craftsmanship is so good, they don't want to lose it at all, okay? But it's not good to always let Xin Yi suffer like this. When the two decided that when Xin Yi needs ingredients in the future, they should prepare actively and give gifts that Xin Yi can accept in a respectful way.
Miaoer and Ling'er left after helping Ling Yao clean up the kitchen. As for Zhao Xinyi, she handed over the cleaning up the mess to Ling Yao and walked inside to see Dandan.
Seeing Dandan sleeping soundly, Zhao Xinyi touched her and followed her and lay next to her.
Originally, she just wanted to lie with Dandan for a while, but she accidentally fell asleep while lying down.
When she woke up again, the sun had already set.
Zhao Xinyi rubbed her eyes and sat up, and found Dandan was still sleeping, but she did not see Ling Yao in the cave.
She put on her shoes and found Lingyao sitting in the brightest place at the entrance of the cave to make clothes.
Seeing Zhao Xinyi, Lingyao immediately put down the work in her hand and looked at Zhao Xinyi with joy: "Your Highness, are you awake?"
"Well. Miaoer and Ling'er are both back?"
"Yes, I went back very early." Ling Yao stood up and was about to put away the needle and thread basket. Zhao Xinyi stopped her and reached out to pick up the small clothes made by Ling Yao.
She gestured to the sun and found that the little clothes were still printed with extremely inconspicuous patterns. If she didn't look carefully, she really couldn't see them.
“Is this done for the baby?”
"Yes." Ling Yao said with a smile: "I think that if your highness comes out, you will definitely need clothes, but we have not prepared before, so we just want to make a few pieces so that your highness can wear clothes even if you come out."
"You're doing very well." Zhao Xinyi gave Ling Yao the clothes, thought for a while, and said, "Lingyao, I also want to make clothes for the baby, teach me."
Ling Yao looked at Zhao Xinyi and was a little worried: "Your Highness, it is difficult to make clothes and easy to get thorns. You have never touched them before. I'll do the rough work of doing clothes."
"No need." Zhao Xinyi had already made a decision in her heart. No matter how difficult it was, she wanted to make a piece of clothing for Dandan. When she thought that the broken shell Dandan could wear the clothes she made with her own hands, Zhao Xinyi was looking forward to it.
"I have nothing to do in this cave, so it's better to use this time to make clothes for the baby. And I also want the baby to come out and wear the clothes I made for her."
When Ling Yao heard Zhao Xinyi say this, he instantly showed sadness: "Your Highness, it's all Ling Yao, and you can't find a way back." If they could go out, your highness would be fine. And you don't have to work hard to prepare your highness's clothes.
Ling Yao went to find a way to pass as soon as she fell into this world, but she searched through the entire Baiyu Mountain and found no way out.
And even if she wanted to break the road herself, every time she flew to a high altitude, she would be suppressed by powerful magic power and could not fly out at all.
Later, she asked the indigenous demon here that the Baiyu Mountain could actually go down the mountain, but there was a formation set up at the foot of the mountain, and mortals could not come up, but the demons and spirits could go out and come in again.
But not long ago, suddenly a colorful light shone out from the sky, and a strange thing fell from the sky. Baiyu Mountain was closed, and only the God and Lord Liu He could go out.
