In the midsummer of August, the sun is shining brightly.
It’s supposed to be an unbearably hot day, but at the top of the main peak, you can’t feel the heat from the scorching sun at all.
Some are just cool and refreshing comfort, and the gentle breeze blowing by the mountains.
Ji Qinghe pushed me into the wall-facing room, and Mei Qi asked me to experience for myself the pain and suffering she and Pei Chuan had endured back then.
I sat on the futon helplessly and let her close the iron door.
When the last ray of light disappeared from my pupils, I thought I would feel terrified.
But the result was just the opposite. I felt calm, calm, and inexplicably at ease.
Some even enjoy the tranquility brought by being undisturbed and isolated from the world.
Compared to walking openly in the light, facing all kinds of dangers in the world, and the warmth and coldness of human relationships. In the darkness, I seem to have a sense of security that I have never felt before, fearless, and my heart is like a rock.
I don't know where or why this strange illusion comes from.
However, the true reaction in my mind tells me that I seem to prefer darkness to light.
Five minutes later, Ji Qinghe opened the iron door and gloated about my misfortune and asked me how I felt.
I raised my eyebrows to show that I could accept it.
The latter's ponytail swayed slightly and said: "It's only five minutes. If it were a month or half a year, you would definitely bang your head against the wall."
I didn't object because I had no chance to try.
Since you can't try it, you can't draw a conclusion, and it's pointless to continue arguing.
After all, facts speak louder than words.
After leaving Siguo Cliff and returning to the main peak hall, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
In order to warm me up, Du Qirui hosted a banquet in the living room.
Only vegetable dishes, a full table.
I don't know how to drink, so I ate two big bowls of rice with great satisfaction.
Firstly, I am really hungry, and secondly, the chefs in Kunlun Mountain are very good at cooking. These humble vegetarian dishes are delicious, even better than the special vegetarian dishes offered by Kyoto star hotels.
Most importantly, there are some special vegetables that I have never heard of before.
Take stir-fried bamboo roots as an example. Take the new shoots from the roots of green bamboo and cook them over low heat to remove their astringent taste.
Then place it in a cool, dry place to air-dry naturally, and knead it manually to break its fibers and bones.
Add green peppers to the pot and stir-fry. The texture is crispy, tender and refreshing.
Who would have thought that bamboo roots can be eaten as vegetables?
Buried deep underground, how much effort does it take to put together a plate?
It’s unimaginable, and it gave me a lot of insights.
And the other dish is called "Escape".
Using peach from Kunlun Mountain as the main ingredient, it melts in your mouth when you eat it.
The rich peach juice flavor makes your mouth salivate after one sip, making you endless aftertaste.
No wonder Lingxi said that no meat is eaten on Kunlun Mountain. With such food, does it matter whether it is meat or not?
After eating, everyone chatted for a while.
Du Qirui ordered people to bring Kunlun Golden Eyebrow Tea, and Ji Qinghe lit a fire to brew it.
It is a kind of tea leaves that are golden yellow all over, like human eyebrows, slender and raised, curled up into curls.
Huang Liang couldn't help being happy, with an expectant expression on his face.
The same thing happened to Hu Ying. Her neck was stretched so long that her eyes almost fell out.
I didn't know what to say, so I asked with a smile: "It's just a pot of tea, is that enough for you two?"
Huang Liang said cheerfully: "One of the top ten famous teas in China, Kunlun Golden Eyebrow ranks fourth. Only two taels are produced in a year and cannot be bought by the outside world. It is the kind that has a price but no market. It can be called a treasure among teas."
