"Because these two ingredients have the aroma of wine, after stir-frying, the aroma of wine will become more intense. There is no way to bring fairy wine into this world, so the disciple also wants to use this dish to savor the taste of fairy wine.
taste."
Xuan Yue smiled sheepishly. The last time she and Gu Zheng said goodbye, Gu Zheng left a jar of fairy wine for her. However, Xuan Yue, who had tasted the taste of fairy wine, couldn't hold back and quickly threw away the jar.
All the ambrosia was drunk.
"Did you drink up the jar of fairy wine that my master left for you last time?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Xuan Yue nodded and smiled even more sheepishly. When Gu Zheng left her the immortal wine, he had told her to drink it in conjunction with the practice of Tie Xian Jue, but she couldn't help but drink the immortal wine quickly.
She finished the wine, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
"The jade slips that my master left for you contain techniques for brewing immortal wine. Take a look at those jade slips when you have time!"
Gu Zheng smiled, but he didn't say anything about Xuan Yue drinking up the fairy wine. Of course he knew how tempting the fairy wine he brewed was.
"Uh-huh!"
Xuan Yue nodded hurriedly, then tasted the stir-fried dish intoxicatedly, and then devoted herself to cooking the elk.
It is said to be an elk, but in fact it is not a real elk, it just looks somewhat similar to an elk.
The elk had been split into two halves by Xuan Yue, one half was roasted, and the other half was cut into pieces and then stewed.
If Gu Zheng wanted to cook one deer for two, he would stew half of the elk meat first, and then grill the other half of the elk meat during the stew process, but Xuan Yue was just a beginner chef.
She can only do these two things separately.
One deer and two were eaten. The first thing Xuan Yue cooked was roasting. She put the already processed elk meat on the fire. While controlling the fire with the fire control technique, she kept turning the elk meat.
There was a strange sound of oil and water dripping into the fire. The ingredients that had been prepared before were sprinkled on the elk meat by Xuan Yue at the right time.
The aroma of elk meat becomes more intense as the cooking process progresses, and the color of the meat changes from red and white to brown.
At this time, the honey was brushed on the elk meat by Xuan Yue, and a charming sweetness emerged from the original rich meat aroma, and the brown color began to turn to maroon again.
The aroma became even stronger. The maroon red elk meat seemed to be carrying crystal light, and a large amount of white mist condensed on it. Finally, it completed the extremely fragrant shape on the plate, transforming into a small elk beating happily.
Gu Zheng couldn't help but swallowed. His current body had really poor resistance to extremely fragrant food.
Xuan Yue's eyes almost narrowed into crescent moons, and Gu Zheng's swallowing expression was the best compliment to her.
"Master, try it now!" Xuan Yue said happily.
Gu Zheng nodded. In fact, he knew without tasting it that roasted elk meat was the best dish Xuan Yue had cooked so far.
A piece of roasted elk meat entered Gu Zheng's mouth, and there was a crisp sound when Gu Zheng took a bite.
The skin of the elk meat is grilled very crispy, with a wonderful sweetness. After biting the skin, the rich aroma and sweetness of the oil are intertwined, which can stimulate people's saliva.
The elk meat is very tender. Due to the protection of the skin, it does not have the feeling of being roasted. It is delicious, juicy and has a very tasty salty taste, which turns into a wonderful fragrance that ripples in Gu Zheng's mouth. To be honest, Gu Zheng also has his own taste.
There was no time for a good meal, so Xuan Yue's roasted elk meat made him very satisfied.
Seeing Gu Zheng eating comfortably, Xuan Yue also smiled happily. Half of the roasted meat of the elk was quickly eaten by the master and the apprentice. Fortunately, the elk was not big, so the master and the apprentice could eat half of it.
Still not feeling full, Xuan Yue immediately began to stew the other half of the elk.
Stewing elk meat was not Xuan Yue's preferred cooking method, but after deciding to eat two deer, she took advantage of her free time during cooking to carefully consider how to stew elk meat.
Although the meat of elk is a high-quality ingredient, it has a kind of mutton smell, which affects the taste. If it is roasted, the problem of mutton smell is not a problem at all, but if it is stewed,
Improper cooking methods will double the odor.
How to stew elk meat was indeed a problem for Xuan Yue at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this problem was no longer a problem. Among the ingredients harvested today, there were several ingredients.
The smell should be able to eliminate the smell of elk meat during the stewing process.
Xuan Yue had already stewed the elk meat in a stone pot. As for the few auxiliary ingredients she chose, after some processing by her, they were put into the pot to stew with the elk meat.
Looking at the several auxiliary ingredients that Xuan Yue put into the pot, Gu Zheng nodded secretly. Xuan Yue's idea was right. Although it was not the best one, using her current method, she could indeed cook elk meat.
Eliminate the smell of mutton.
The aroma became more and more intense as the stewing process continued. Xuan Yue sniffed the aroma wafting from the pot intoxicated, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. This was a method she came up with on her own, without Gu Zheng's guidance, so in her heart
There is also a sense of accomplishment.
The quality of the ingredients itself is high enough, and there are no mistakes in the cooking. The stewed elk meat naturally has a very fragrant shape, and the taste is also exciting.
As usual, Gu Zheng gave a good review of the elk meat. After he finished eating the elk meat, he told Xuan Yue what he had wanted to tell him before.
Listening to what Gu Zheng said, Xuan Yue's face was sometimes astonished and sometimes a little incredulous. After all, she could understand some of the things that she didn't do well as soon as Gu Zheng said it, but some of the things that she didn't do well were...
It was beyond her imagination, and it was not surprising that she would find it incredible.
Excited, Xuan Yue started cooking again. She put the experience she had just gained from Gu Zheng into practice. This was also a way to improve her Taoxing faster.
The night passed quickly, and when Gu Zheng opened his eyes, Xuan Yue had already prepared breakfast.
Gu Zheng knew that Xuan Yue had not slept all night. Although to Xuan Yue, not to mention not sleeping all night, even if she had not slept for a month, it was nothing, but she basically spent the whole night practicing cooking, and her energy was worthy of praise.
Breakfast was relatively simple. Xuan Yue made meat porridge, but they didn't have rice on hand. What should have been rice in the meat porridge was replaced by a kind of nut, and the taste was indeed good.
Gu Zheng ate a bowl of meat porridge, but Xuan Yue didn't eat it. This was not because Xuan Yue only made a bowl of meat porridge, but because she was so full that Gu Zheng was drinking porridge.
I could hear her hiccupping uncontrollably.
"Although the ingredients are all good, if you really can't eat them, there's nothing you can do but throw them away. There's no need to stuff yourself up, right?"
Looking at Xuan Yue who still wanted to hiccup, Gu Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
"What a waste! I can't bear to part with it."
Xuan Yue chuckled, she didn't even remember how many dishes she cooked last night, and none of the dishes she cooked was wasted, she ate them all.
After Xuan Yue did some cleaning up, the two of them hit the road again.
It has to be said that there are really a lot of ingredients in the mountains and forests, and Xuan Yue and Gu Zheng still had to stop and go along the way.
"Master, can I still practice cooking during my break tonight?" Xuan Yue said excitedly while collecting ingredients.
"Is there anything you want to cook?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes! I want to use the ingredients I collected today to make a few dishes for Master to review!" Xuan Yue said.
"Okay! Just don't overeat yourself anymore." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"You have to finish the food you cook even if you can't hold it back!"
Faced with Gu Zheng's teasing, Xuan Yue herself burst out laughing.
"Since you still want to cook today, the dishes you want to cook need to be changed!" Gu Zheng thought for a while and said.
"Oh? Master, are you going to give me a test?" Xuan Yue said excitedly.
"It's a test!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused: "The ingredients for the dishes cooked yesterday were all of high quality, but for the dishes I'm cooking tonight, I require that the ingredients be of the highest grade at ordinary level!"
The three dishes that Xuan Yue cooked for Gu Zheng last night all had excellent ingredients at the lowest level. Today, the dishes that Gu Zheng wants Xuan Yue to cook can only have ordinary ingredients at the highest level. The gap is not small! However,
, if you want to be truly proficient in cooking, it doesn’t matter if you can only cook high-grade ingredients. The real test of cooking skills is cooking low-grade ingredients! For example, if you can cook inferior ingredients into extremely fragrant shapes
, this is enough to illustrate the skill in the way of diet.
"Okay, then my disciple will collect some lower quality ingredients."
Xuan Yue naturally knew the purpose of Gu Zheng, and she seemed quite excited. However, due to the limited storage space inside the Heart Demon Bead, Xuan Yue had to start collecting low-grade ingredients that had not been collected before.
Cooked in the evening.
"Fairy fruit!"
Xuan Yue's cheering voice sounded in front. Due to the dense forest, Gu Zheng not only couldn't see what Xuan Yue said the fairy fruit looked like, he couldn't even see Xuan Yue's figure.
"What grade of fairy fruit?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Not very high, medium quality fairy fruit!"
Xuan Yue's voice was very cheerful. This was the first time she discovered the fairy fruit after entering this space world! Although she said that the grade was not too high, the medium quality fairy fruit already made her very happy.
Gu Zheng was not as excited as Xuan Yue. He still walked forward unhurriedly. For him who was well-informed, there was really nothing exciting about the medium-quality fairy fruit.
The fairy fruit Xuan Yue mentioned grows like a bunch of grapes, hanging high on a big tree.
The location of the fairy fruit was very high, but it was nothing to Xuan Yue. She flew towards the fairy fruit on the tree.
"Squeak!"
There were not only fairy fruits on the tree, but also two spiritual beasts that looked like monkeys. This was also the first time Gu Zheng and the others saw spiritual beasts after entering this space world.
The two monkey-like spiritual beasts were not big in size, but the aura in their eyes was not weak. When they saw Xuan Yue flying up, they immediately let out a threatening cry and raised their paws to attack.
Seeing that Xuan Yue was not threatened and was still flying towards the fairy fruit, the two monkey spirit beasts swung their claws wildly and grabbed Xuan Yue with strong winds.
"Go aside!"
Xuan Yue's murderous intention was not serious, and she was quite happy to see the fairy fruit. Although she waved her sleeves to disrupt the claw wind, she did not harm the two spirit beasts. She just slapped them from the big tree to a small tree on the side.
superior.
The spirit beasts were not ferocious beasts. They did not want to give up the Grape Fairy Fruit, but they also knew that they were no match for Xuan Yue. After looking at each other, they screamed and left.
"Gudong!"
Looking at the purple jade-like grape fairy fruit, Xuan Yue couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She had eaten fairy fruit in the space world she lived in before, but she hadn't seen it for a long time now.
Reaching out to pick off the fairy fruits, Xuan Yue became a little hesitant again. This bunch of grape-like fairy fruits was not fully mature. This was also the reason why there were two spiritual beasts on the tree, but they did not take action on this bunch of fairy fruits.
.
"Master, how long will it take for this bunch of fairy fruits to mature?"
Although Xuan Yue knew that the fairy fruit was not fully mature, she could not tell the specific time required for maturity based on her knowledge.
"It still takes half a month!"
Gu Zheng couldn't see the fairy fruit, but he was under the tree at this time, and he could know the specific time when the fairy fruit matured through the smell in the air.
"Ah? Half a month!"
Xuan Yue was a little regretful. She must have wanted to wait until the fairy fruit was fully mature before picking it. This would be considered perfect, but half a month was too long.
"Pick it. Even if this fairy fruit is fully mature, it is only of medium quality, but the medicinal effect will be more sufficient. Unfortunately, you don't know how to control the wood, and you haven't learned some things in the jade slips. Otherwise, you can control it through control."
Mu Jue accelerates the growth of fairy fruits. A medium-quality fairy fruit like this that only takes half a month to fully mature usually only takes two or three hours to ripen." Gu Zheng said.
"It's a pity that there is so little time and there are so many things to learn and practice. The Wood Control Technique? It's really exciting!"
With a little regret, Xuan Yue picked the grape fairy fruit that was not yet fully ripe.
Seeing the excitement remaining on Xuan Yue's face, Gu Zheng smiled and said: "Don't be depressed about this. Just now you picked the fairy fruits of those two spirit beasts, and they have gone back to bring in reinforcements. You should think about it and wait."
How to deal with it next time!”
"What were those two spiritual beasts just now? Master, have you seen them before?" Xuan Yue frowned slightly.
"I haven't seen it before, but they are gregarious spiritual beasts and they don't run away. I have heard similar cries before they leave. The general idea is that they are scolding you and asking you to wait for them!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"Looking at how weak they are, I guess the reinforcements brought here are not too powerful." Xuan Yue stuck out her tongue and said.
"Don't be careless. I can't help you as a teacher anyway. You'll have to rely on yourself later." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will protect Master!"
Xuan Yue made a face at Gu Zheng, while Gu Zheng gave her a roll of his eyes, and the two of them continued on their way.
Before walking too far, Gu Zheng and Xuan Yue heard the noise in the jungle in the distance. They heard the cry of monkeys and spirit beasts, and also heard the sound of branches being broken.
A group of monkey spirit beasts appeared in the sight of Gu Zheng and Xuan Yue. There were more than twenty of them, large and small. Although the size of the leading monkey king was much larger than ordinary monkey spirit beasts, it didn't look like much.
It's the size of an adult baboon.
The general monkey spirit beasts have yellow fur, but this monkey king has black fur and a pair of particularly smart eyes, which makes him look very intelligent.
Precisely because of his good intelligence, the monkey king did not immediately attack Gu Zheng and Xuan Yue. He did not take Gu Zheng seriously. He stared at Xuan Yue with a wary look for a while, and then directly used his spiritual thoughts to attack Xuan Yue.
Send message to Xuan Yue.
Spiritual sound transmission can avoid the barriers of different languages and can directly convey the intention to the other party. The intention conveyed by the Monkey King to Xuan Yue is to ask Xuan Yue to hand over the grape fairy fruit, otherwise Xuan Yue will look good.
After Xuan Yue told Gu Zheng the intention conveyed to her by the Monkey King, under Gu Zheng's instruction, Xuan Yue conveyed the intention to the Monkey King.
"Because it's not easy for you to practice, and because you didn't take action immediately after you came here, I can give you a chance to get the fairy fruit! You fight with me, and if I lose, the fairy fruit will be yours, but if it's you
If you lose, you need to answer some questions from me. If the answers are more useful, I can also consider giving you the fairy fruit!"
After receiving Xuan Yue's intention, the Monkey King's eyes clearly lit up. The fairy fruit was very important to it, but in its feeling, it didn't have enough ways to defeat Xuan Yue, so it conveyed it to Xuan Yue.
That kind of intention. But what the Monkey King didn't expect was that Xuan Yue was unexpectedly easy to talk to. Even if he lost to her, there was still the possibility of getting the fairy fruit.
When communicating among the same clan, sometimes even the sound is not needed. A look can make the group understand. Therefore, the little monkeys next to the Monkey King have also understood that Xuan Yue wants to determine the ownership of the fairy fruit through a competition.
For a moment, they all waved their claws and screamed, which was to encourage their king.
From the beginning, the Monkey King didn't really want to fight with Xuan Yue. What's more, he knew from Xuan Yue's intentions that as long as he answered the questions well, he might get the fairy fruit even if he lost. So he didn't want to fight with Xuan Yue even more.
After all, the jungle is also a dangerous environment for them, and injuries may inevitably occur during fighting, which is very detrimental to survival. However, the members of the tribe were so excited that the monkey king had to fight, and he also
It conveyed its intention to Xuan Yue again.
The forest is not a good place for a fight. Xuan Yue took the lead and flew into the air, and the Monkey King followed her. After the two parties stood still in the air, the look in their eyes marked the beginning of the fight.
Xuan Yue took the lead in launching the attack. She revealed her true body and waved her wings. Two streams of air visible to the naked eye swept towards the Monkey King.
The air flow blown out by Xuan Yue's wings is not wind. Xuan Yue has the ability to absorb moonlight. The two air flows are actually the energy of Yin.
"Ouch!"
The Monkey King roared so loudly that even the little monkeys on the ground had to cover their ears. The sound wave rushing out of its mouth was like a meteor that hit the airflow swung by Xuan Yue.
"Peng!"
A loud noise was made in the air, and the sound wave "died together" with one of the two strong winds, while the other strong wind was still flying towards the Monkey King.
Xuan Yue let out a loud cry. Since it was a fight, of course she wouldn't just wave her wings. Her wings began to wave quickly, and countless feather-like airflows were fired towards the Monkey King like thousands of arrows.
Shoot away.
It is impossible for the Monkey King to just roar, and its body suddenly swelled to over three feet tall.
I saw that the Monkey King's huge left paw waved, trying to fan away the previous energy flow, and his right paw also pushed forward at the same time.
The Monkey King pushed out his palm, and a huge palm-shaped shadow suddenly appeared in the air. All the feather-like airflow shot on it, making a sound like a firecracker. However, the initial energy airflow was not affected by it.
The monkey king's palm flew away, and it flew up into the wind and wrapped around the monkey king's arm like a spiritual snake.
