The Tianxin Sect is different from other sects. The management model of this sect made Gu Zheng a lot of emotional when he first learned about it.
In general sects, almost all immediate family members of high-level sects hold positions in the sect. Even if they do not have a position in the sect, they will still be core-level disciples. Even worse, even if they are not disciples in the sect, they will definitely live a good life.
, a worry-free life.
But Tianxin Sect is different. The higher up the sect, the stricter the management of relatives! Without certain abilities, you will definitely not have a position, and without certain strength, you will definitely not be a core disciple! Not to mention a luxurious life.
, even if it is a slightly better life, it must be exchanged through hard work!
The profession that the girl of the Yang family engages in is simply incomprehensible in the eyes of outsiders. After all, her status in a sect can be regarded as a true "relative of the emperor". Looking at the relationship between Yang Zhenling and her sister,
As well as the environment at home, it can be concluded from this that Yang Zhenling's treatment in the Tianxin Sect will definitely not be particularly good.
"Fellow Ancient Taoist, I appreciate your kindness, and I would like to thank you on behalf of my little sister! But we have lived under such rules since we were young, and we have all become accustomed to this kind of life, and this kind of life in which rewards are exchanged with our hands.
We don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”
Yang Zhenling smiled at Gu Zheng, his eyes full of gratitude.
What Gu Zheng saw in Yang Zhenling's eyes was not only gratitude, but also a little arrogance and sincerity.
"Perhaps, I should respect this way of life?" Gu Zheng asked himself in his heart.
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't say anything, Yang Zhenling smiled again: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist Gu! I'm just a little girl, how could I not think about her? I have paved the way out for her, and she will leave Wuwu in a year.
Fengdao, I will work in the port restaurant where Master Gu went, and then I won’t have to worry about her having an accident at sea like her parents did."
"Okay, then I don't need resources to exchange for your dried fish. I will just pick some and take them away. I will treat them as gifts from you!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and said nothing more on this topic. Anyway, it is not polite to reciprocate when coming. He accepted these gifts from the Yang brothers and sisters, and left gifts when he left. It was also normal courtesy.
"I have already processed all the ingredients that need to be processed. Master Gu can come and cook!"
The cheerful voice of the girl from the Yang family sounded.
"okay."
Gu Zheng responded and walked into the kitchen.
"Master Gu, I'll leave this to you! Do you think it's better for me to concentrate on waiting for the meal to begin? Or should I learn from my master?"
The girl from the Yang family blinked her eyes and smiled very shamelessly.
"I said the kitchen is an important place, so leave it alone!"
Not wanting others to disturb Gu Zheng's cooking, Miao Miao pushed the Yang family girl out of the kitchen.
Stewed lotus root with eight-treasure rice and dried fish, Gu Zheng had made it on the way to Kunlun Sect. Now when I make it again, the feeling is very different from before.
Nowadays, Guzheng has touched upon the art of food. In his hands, eight-treasure rice and lotus root stewed with dried fish will bloom into even more wonderful flavors.
After a while, Gu Zheng mixed the collected fairy rice and candied fruits into a bowl, steamed them in a basket.
The Fire Control Technique and the Water Control Technique were performed at the same time. Although there was no change outside the pot, the water in the pot soaked into the densely packed candied fruits at an extremely fast speed.
After a while.
The scent of fairy rice wafted out, causing the Yang Zhenling brothers and sisters outside to twitch their noses.
"It's this familiar scent! No, it's better than what I've smelled before!"
Yang Zhenling looked at the kitchen and swallowed again.
"Brother, I understand now why you are so worthless, because I am so worthless!"
The girl from the Yang family also looked at the kitchen, making swallowing sounds from time to time.
"This smells really good. I can't stand it anymore. I want to see how Master Gu cooks!"
The Yang girl jumped up and quietly approached the kitchen door like a thief.
"Ouch!"
The Yang family girl was about to open the door, but Meow Meow behind the door pushed the door open a little, causing the door panel to hit her head.
"Sister Meow Meow, how can you be so cruel? Just let me go in and have a look! I have never smelled such a special rice fragrance in my life!"
The girl from the Yang family acted shamelessly, pressing her face directly against the door panel and beating the door panel with her hand, as if she was about to cry.
"If you don't open it, don't open it! Who makes you so hateful that you even use a diving suit to catch fish!"
The meow behind the door didn't buy it and let out a proud laugh.
"Did I make a mistake in using a wetsuit? Okay, I admit my mistake!"
The girl from the Yang family wants to cry but has no tears. This kid is really difficult to deal with!
"Master Gu, please, just let me see it!"
The girl from the Yang family didn't give up and continued to play dirty.
"Okay, Meow Meow, open the door!"
Gu Zheng's smiling voice sounded, and Miao Miao immediately obeyed.
The girl from the Yang family was like a cat. Before the door was fully opened, she had already squeezed into the kitchen. Yang Zhenling, who was struggling to suppress his saliva like an old monk in meditation, was no exception. He abandoned his reserve and flew towards the kitchen.
Run.
Compared with the fragrance smelled outside, the fragrance smelled in the kitchen is clearer, richer and more unbearable.
"What kind of rice is this? Why does it taste so fragrant!"
The girl from the Yang family stared at the pot infatuatedly, almost wanting to lift the lid and take a look.
"This is a kind of rice grown by ethnic minorities with a very small yield. It was not easy for Gu Dao to collect some rice. Don't make any wrong ideas!" Yang Zhenling answered on Gu Zheng's behalf.
"I didn't say anything, why are you so anxious?"
The girl from the Yang family muttered something dissatisfied, and then watched Gu Zheng's movements seriously.
"It seems that it didn't take long for Master Gu to come into the kitchen, and the eight-treasure rice is almost ready? This speed is really unusually fast!"
Smelling the sweet smell in the pot, the Yang family girl couldn't help but sigh.
"That's because the eight-treasure rice made by ancient Taoist friends is different from that made by others! The eight-treasure rice made by others needs to be steamed first, and the so-called eight treasures must be processed, and then the eight treasures and steamed glutinous rice are put into the pot.
It is steamed once, and after it is out of the pot, it is poured with the sugar juice that has been boiled in advance. The eight-treasure rice made by the ancient Taoist friend does not need to be so troublesome, he directly steams the eight-treasure rice and rice grains together!"
Yang Zhenling once again solved her sister's doubts, but it made her even more confused.
“If you don’t soak the candied fruits with relatively dense flesh in advance, how can you achieve a soft texture during the steaming process?”
"You'll find out later, it's chirping like a sparrow!"
This time, without waiting for Yang Zhenling to explain, Miaomiao rolled his eyes at the Yang family girl.
"Even if you don't tell me, I know that to be able to handle food like this, Master Gu must have used his inner strength!"
The girl from the Yang family stuck out her tongue at Miaomiao.
"You guys are all chirping like a flock of sparrows!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "The eight-treasure rice is ready!"
The lid of the pot was lifted and the mist rose. Before the Yang brothers and sisters could see what was going on in the pot, Gu Zheng had already poured a bowl of eight-treasure rice upside down on a large plate.
"Master Gu, don't be like this! We are already looking forward to it. The eight-treasure rice you cooked doesn't even show its appearance!"
The Yang family girl wailed, Gu Zheng deliberately did not take away the bowl of rice that was supposed to reveal its true appearance.
"No need to worry, you can see it when you start eating!"
Gu Zheng laughed and immediately used the fire control technique to activate the flames under the clay pot next to him.
The dish of stewed lotus root with dried fish is already in the process of stewing, but Gu Zheng has not stoked the fire, and the fragrance of the eight-treasure rice is so strong that its fragrance is temporarily suppressed.
Nowadays, Gu Zhengyi stimulates the fire, and the Water Control Jue and Wood Control Jue also work at the same time. The fresh and spicy fragrance of the deep sea whitebait and the fresh fragrance of the lotus root are completely integrated into one, turning into a temptation that makes people salivate.
“What a unique scent, I can’t wait to eat it!”
The girl from the Yang family had already prepared the dishes and chopsticks. If Yang Zhenling hadn't stared at her, she would have banged the dishes and chopsticks impatiently.
After a while.
"Dried fish stewed with lotus root is ready!"
Gu Zheng shouted again and took the clay pot away from the fire.
"You two brothers and sisters, take out these two dishes and serve them, and I will make another fresh fish soup!"
The Yang family's kitchen can only cook two dishes at most at a time, so Gu Zheng had no choice but to make the last fish soup now.
"Master Gu, you are in trouble!"
The girl from the Yang family said insincerely, laughed heartily, and ran out holding the plate of rice with rice that had not yet been uncovered.
"This damn girl!"
Yang Zhenling smiled apologetically at Gu Zheng, but quickly followed her sister and ran out holding dried fish and stewed lotus roots.
"These two foodies!" Meow Meow shook his head.
"You say I'm a foodie, but when I shake my head, I can't even look past the fish and meat?"
Gu Zheng flicked Miaomiao's forehead with his fingers, causing Miaomiao to blush and scream in exaggerated pain.
After placing eight-treasure rice and stewed lotus root with dried fish on the table, the Yang brothers and sisters did not return to the kitchen immediately. Their eyes seemed to be firmly attracted by the steaming utensils on the table.
"Brother, you don't have a big appetite. Fellow Taoist Master Gu made so much this time, you shouldn't be able to eat much, right?" the girl from the Yang family murmured.
"Little sister, I realized that you are so shameless today! I was deceived by what you said, and almost thought that the person who didn't eat much was really me!" Yang Zhenling said speechlessly.
The girl from the Yang family continued to murmur: "Did I remember it wrong? Impossible, the person with the smallest appetite is definitely not me! Brother, don't you think, let alone a four-pound green cod, now it has a head
Niu, sister, can I eat too? Yes, the one with the smallest appetite must be Miss Meow Meow. Look at her petite figure, she must not be able to eat much."
"Little sister, no matter how big your appetite is, you must be reserved later!"
Yang Zhenling tried hard to look away from the utensil, and patted his sister's head with a serious word.
"Be reserved, don't worry, you will definitely be reserved!" The Yang family girl murmured almost unconsciously.
"Forget it, you'd better go to the kitchen with me! I'm really worried about leaving you here!"
Yang Zhenling felt that if he left, the two prepared dishes would definitely be eaten secretly.
"No, I won't leave. I'll just take a look. I won't steal anything!"
Under Yang Zhenling's pull, the girl from the Yang family was nostalgic, except that she no longer hugged the table leg.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
The girl from the Yang family who was struggling one moment suddenly jumped up the next moment. When Yang Zhenling was stunned, she burst into unprecedented speed and rushed into the kitchen again.
The alluring aroma is rising from the pot on the fire, one after another, making people unable to help but inhale hard.
"Friend Gu Taoist, is this stew really blue cod? How can it be so fragrant!"
Yang Zhenling, who also entered the kitchen, had eyes full of disbelief.
The girl from the Yang family quickly wiggled her nose, and her mouth was also busy: "No, this should be fresh, so fresh! I have eaten this fish before, it shouldn't be so fresh!"
"It's just a live fish, there's nothing to fuss about if it's fresher!"
Miaomiao glanced at the Yang girl, her disgusted eyes filled with pride.
"It's impossible for live fish to be so fresh! The ancient master must have used some special technique to bring out all the fresh flavor of the fish!" the Yang family girl affirmed.
Miao Miao rolled her eyes: "It doesn't matter whether I said it or not!"
"Is it possible that this pot of fish soup is made of medicinal herbs or ingredients?" Yang Zhenling guessed.
"There must be something else put in it. As for whether it's medicinal materials or ingredients, I don't know." The girl from the Yang family swallowed her saliva.
"Okay, you're done!"
Finally, with the eager eyes of the Yang siblings and Miaomiao, Gu Zheng's fresh fish soup was ready.
When the lid of the pot is opened, a rich fragrance rises from the mist, completely filling every corner of the kitchen! If you can only look at such delicious food but not eat it, it will torture the people next to you, which is tantamount to the top ten forms of torture.
The mist in the pot dissipated, leaving only one blue cod still in the boiling white soup.
"There is only one fish in the pot and nothing else is put in it? Is this how fresh fish soup is made?"
The girl from the Yang family looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief, as if she was looking at a freak.
It is common sense that fresh fish soup should at least add some green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, but Gu Zheng didn't put anything in it, and the smell can be so delicious, which is really unbelievable.
"What? Now you are questioning whether I said that the ancient master's cooking is the best? Just a fish soup, without adding onions and ginger, can have such an aroma, it is enough to make people breathtaking! What's more, making fish soup
We have all eaten the fish, and we know its original aroma." As Yang Zhenling spoke, his eyes were full of the word "submit".
"Get ready, let's eat!"
Ignoring the shock of the Yang brothers and sisters, Gu Zheng poured the fresh fish soup into the soup basin while cheering, and Miao Miao immediately walked out quickly holding it in his hands.
"Meow meow, you are not allowed to steal it!"
The shocked girl from the Yang family woke up from a dream, immediately picked up the bowls and chopsticks and chased out.
"Boss Yang, Boss Yang!"
"What delicious food is made at home? Why does it smell so good?"
"It's not convenient for you to invite us in as guests!"
At this time, four or five people were gathered outside the yard. They were not only Yang Zhenling's neighbors, but also Yang's sister's companions in the same boat.
"It's inconvenient. We have distinguished guests at home today. Please stop messing around here!"
The Yang family girl walked out of the main room and closed the door. The steaming food on the table behind the door immediately disappeared from the sight of people outside the courtyard.
"We just knew there were distinguished guests, so we didn't go in directly!"
"Boss, even if we have distinguished guests, it shouldn't be a problem if we are given a sip of soup, right?"
"That's right! I have never smelled such a pleasant fragrance. The boss said that we are in the same boat and we should share the hardships and the blessings!"
"Boss, give us a bite to eat! We haven't had a hot bite all day long!"
A few old men had playful smiles on their faces, and some even found a broken bowl out of nowhere, looking like they were begging for food.
