Chapter 233 [Towards the South](1/2)
Seeing that Jia Fei looked disgusted with the building ship he had found, Cheng Yu helplessly shook his head and smiled:
"It just so happens that you, the Great Demon of Wood, are here."
When Jia Fei heard this, he patted his chest with a "pop!" and said proudly:
"Let me go."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pulled out several trees of different sizes from the small forest in the distance.
There is even an unknown fruit tree with bunches of green fruits.
She raised her hand and waved it in the air, and several trees flew towards the river.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
When he got closer, Cheng Yu could see clearly that the fruit tree was growing green oranges.
Cheng Yu remembered that oranges seemed to only mature in autumn. It was midsummer and the fruits were not yet yellow.
It is embarrassing to say that Cheng Yu has eaten a lot of oranges in his two lifetimes, but this was the first time he saw the green wild oranges growing on fruit trees. Now that he was close to him, he took a few steps forward and knelt down to pick up one.
.
The dark green orange peel is green and hard.
"This thing is called an orange. It is a kind of fruit, but it is not yet ripe, so it is extremely sour. When ripe, the skin turns from green to yellow, and becomes sweet and juicy. Brother Cheng, you are an outsider.
A naive person wouldn't know this, right?"
Jia Fei walked gently behind Cheng Yu and said.
Oranges are oranges if they come from Huainan. This cat demon seems to have been a Jiangnan cat.
Cheng Yu thought to himself.
Suddenly he remembered something again, turned around and smiled at Jia Fei:
"You, the great wood-walking demon, have caused the green plums near Qingluo Village to ripen early due to the overflow of demonic power. So, do you have any way to make the orange tree that has been uprooted by you turn from astringent to sweet?"<
/p>
The cat demon raised his chin:
"What's so difficult about this? Although the tree has been pulled out, its vitality has not been cut off. Brother Cheng is optimistic about it."
The cat demon didn't make any move after finishing speaking, but Cheng Yu felt a majestic demon power surge around him out of thin air, which shocked him.
Jia Fei's demon power at this time was actually so powerful, it was no longer the same as the lazy cat demon in Qingchuan County back then.
But to do this just to ripen some oranges seems to be a bit too much...
"Kachacha"
There were continuous soft sounds under his feet, and Cheng Yu looked down. Although Jia Fei stood motionless, the trunk of the orange tree lying flat under his feet was now dry and cracked, and the bark was still slightly oily.
, the pieces are chapped and falling off.
A thick branch that was green just now, from bottom to top, withered and turned brown in an instant.
On the contrary, each green and hard orange is turning into a round orange color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a few breaths, the two of them were surrounded by bursts of orange fragrance, which even the dawn river breeze could not dissipate.
Jia Fei was overjoyed when she saw it. It turned out that she had just been full of words and said it was a trivial matter, but in fact she had no idea, so she showed off her demonic power as soon as she came up.
Seeing that he had succeeded, his face was full of pride, and he couldn't help but raise his hand carelessly, and the bright oranges fell naturally from the dry branches.
The cat demon happily knelt down and picked up one. She was so happy that she bit it in half with the flesh in one bite. She spit out the orange peel in her mouth and handed it over to Cheng Yu, showing off the other half of the orange.
In front of him, he said vaguely:
"Here! It's so sweet, pfft! Try it quickly."
Cheng Yu didn't react for a moment when he saw it. He really didn't expect that this small mouth like a Jia Fei cherry could actually stuff half an orange into his mouth, and there was still room for his tongue to smoothly peel off the orange peel and segments.
Open.
"Poof!"
Jia Fei spat out a piece of orange peel into Long Xiangjiang again. Seeing Cheng Yu staring at him indifferently and not praising himself, he felt a little puzzled in his heart, but his hands were not idle and he directly handed the remaining half of the orange to Cheng Yu.
Go away.
"Try it quickly, don't be stunned."
Cheng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked down at the half-bitten orange in his hand and said with a helpless smile:
"You are really rude to me."
When the cat demon heard this, he slapped his forehead and said:
"Oh, right! I was only focusing on you and me, but I completely forgot about the troupe over there. Well! I should get some more to try with them."
Jia Fei did what he said, and the evil spirit by the river filled the air again with the fragrance of orange.
After a while, most of the orange trees withered completely, leaving only the lantern-like ripe oranges on them.
Jia Fei put away his demonic aura and happily knelt down to pick it up. Cheng Yu turned his head to look towards the stage.
The theater troupe was still sleeping soundly, and only the occasional "pop" sound of slapping mosquitoes could be heard.
It turns out that Cheng Yu had collected his spells and removed the barrier since King Jin and his entourage left.
Although the barrier was removed, the mosquitoes on the riverside still did not dare to approach the crowd for a while. It was only then that they slowly gathered around the crowd, buzzing and preparing to bite.
At this time, the sun had already risen above the skyline, and the scorching heat was beginning to rise. Among the sleeping people, some young and strong people were already sweating. While chirping, they untied their collars in a daze, turned over and continued to sleep.
Cheng Yu lowered his head and glanced at the half-stretched orange in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he peeled off the peel and raised his hand to attract a cluster of crystal clear river water. He wrapped half of the orange in it with a "swish" sound, like a ball of orange-red crystal, hanging in the water.
On the river.
At this time, a gust of river wind blew away, blowing away the heat of the morning sun and picking up a strand of messy hair on the temples of the cat demon.
Jia Fei brushed away the black hair that covered her eyes and stared expectantly at the half-suspended orange crystal, wondering what the great bird fairy was going to do.
At this time, Cheng Yu turned back and smiled at Jia Fei and said:
"I'll give you and everyone in the team a delicious meal to escape the summer heat."
When Jia Fei heard that the food was delicious, his eyes became brighter, but when Cheng Yu summoned You'er's spirit spirit, the snowflake mark on the spirit spirit's forehead began to spin and brighten.
Jia Fei seemed to have some realization in his heart, but he was still looking forward to it.
I saw that the orange crystal in the air began to rotate gradually, and the water bubbles wrapped on the surface had silently penetrated into the orange, and then condensed into ice, and then gushed out from the inside out, and the particles were smooth and silky.
Orange particles are separated.
"Whoosh!"
A ball of clear water floated from the river again, and before it reached it, it had already condensed into an inverted ice tower.
The ice tower is only more than three inches high. When it is turned over, the thin spire rushes down, and the open bottom reaches the sky. Jia Fei stretched his head and looked, and found that the bottom of the tower was actually hollow, and it looked like a wine glass.
The first time I saw a small ice pagoda cup like this, the cat demon was confused and didn't know what the mystery was.
The snowflake mark on the right forehead is constantly rotating, so that the ice slag mixed with orange particles still braves the cold air without melting in the hot summer.
At this time, Cheng Yu raised his hand, and the orange cubes were mixed with ice shavings, and with a "pop!" sound, they were smashed into the inverted hollow ice tower cup.
"Here! Try it, don't be stunned."
Cheng Yu smiled and imitated Jia Fei's tone before saying. The cat demon reached out to catch the crystal clear ice tower cup, which was filled with fiery red attractive particles.
Cheng Yu gestured to her to raise his head and drink, and Jia Fei followed suit. The sweet and sour orange pellets mixed with ice shards passed through the esophagus, making her tremble.
"Ah! I didn't expect to eat it this way. It's sweet and ice-cold, without any heat... Crunch! Crunch!"
After finishing the oranges in the cup, she didn't even let go of the ice cream cup in her hand, chewing some of the orange pellets on the side of the cup as well.
"It's really enjoyable. I have lived for more than three hundred years and I have never thought of eating like this. It just so happens that when I go to the capital this time, I will finally have the opportunity to taste the Xianggai I had back then, and mix it with Brother Cheng's wonderful
The way to eat it must be wonderful."
"Xiang Gai? What is Xiang Gai?"
Seeing Cheng Yu's question, Jia Fei danced and described it, and finally picked up a dead branch and drew it on the sand by the river.
Cheng Yu watched the cat demon draw an ellipse like a shuttle and an egg, and then referring to the key points of its description, Cheng Yu vaguely guessed that the fragrant cap she was talking about should be a specialty fruit in the south: mango.
Daliang Jingcheng is located near the junction of Daliang Prefecture, Daizhou Prefecture and Qianyuan Prefecture among the nine states. It is already leaning to the south, and Daliang Prefecture itself is backed by the sea. Therefore, it is not uncommon for tropical fruits such as mango to be found in the capital.
.
"If you like it, how about I make you a mango ice cream when you get to the capital?"
Cheng Yu smiled, while Jia Fei next to him asked with a confused look:
"What is mango?"
"..."
"Wow!"
The only answer she received was the sound of the surging river water. The cat demon looked at Cheng Yu with a pair of almond-shaped eyes in confusion and expectancy, but found that the young man in white shirt next to him had a smile on his lips and said nothing, and his eyes were staring at the river in the distance, seemingly thoughtful.<
