Five days passed quietly, and Li Dan became more and more proficient due to the blessing of his 'cooking skill attribute'.
And because there are a lot of ingredients in the warehouse, he has already tried to learn how to make the recipes in his mind.
It's a pity that Senior Wife seems to have something to do and hasn't been here for the past few days. As for Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother, they have disappeared.
But once they met on the way down the mountain, they were a little embarrassed when they saw him, and their eyes were mostly averted.
It seemed that he had done something wrong, which left Li Dan confused.
In the past few days, Yingluo Peak has been abuzz with public opinion.
Because after the news of Li Dan's cooking was spread by the thirty or so senior sisters, more people immediately knew about it.
There are thousands of female disciples in Yingluo Peak, and it would be even harder to get them to stop talking about a certain hot topic.
"Have you heard that the love saint Li Dan is now learning to cook?"
"Yeah, I heard that too. It seems that he is thinking about developing into the god of food."
"Yes, Sister Shiyao is famous for being picky about food. It seems that he has put in a lot of effort and determination."
"The love is so great that the god of food is so romantic. What do you think, Senior Sister Lu?"
"Who knows, what you can't get is the best. She probably wants to catch bigger fish."
"But I heard that the food Li Dan cooks is extremely unpalatable. I don't know if it's true or not."
…………
The moon was sparse and the stars were thin, and a faint blue mist shrouded a rather exquisite residence in Yingluo Peak.
As the window was pushed open, Lu Shiyao, wearing pajamas, stuck her head out with a sweaty head, and took several heavy breaths in succession.
Because she's going crazy.
Annoyance, annoyance like never before.
As early as a few days ago, she had reached the ninth level of Qi Condensation and was about to enter the Huayuan realm.
Along the way of cultivation, you first start by condensing energy, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condensing it into your body, and slowly eliminate all kinds of impurities in your body.
When there is spiritual energy in all the meridians, the next step is to change from gaseous state to liquid state, becoming a more pure elemental force that is most consistent with heaven and earth.
Practitioners call this step the realm of transformation.
Then, according to the transformation state of various locations in the meridians, there are four small realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage and Dzogchen.
As early as two months ago, she had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation, but in order to be more stable, she did not break through.
But after the incident of "letting go" five days ago, she thought she didn't care.
After all, this is the result she has longed for for a long time. She has already told her master that she is going to make a breakthrough.
Condensing Qi to break through to the Transformation Realm sometimes only takes an hour or two. After all, it only takes a moment.
But after five days, she couldn't calm down.
After finally reaching the state of mind, the empty valley appeared in front of his eyes, where Li Dan once stood for ninety-nine days.
"Am I really in love with him?"
After Lu Shiyao calmed down, she said to herself.
But he quickly shook his head vigorously and threw away this unrealistic idea.
Maybe it's the pride inside.
Maybe it was a slap in the face that day.
Or perhaps it was her deep reluctance that kept her struggling with this issue.
After all, she is the 'Fenghua' and the 'Zonghua', and there is never a shortage of suitors behind her.
It was really frustrating to be so blatantly bombarded for the first time and then suddenly stop.
Very good, Li Dan, you successfully aroused my interest.
I still don’t believe it, just because of you, you became my first inner demon to break through and advance?
Lu Shiyao gritted her teeth and closed the window.
After a while, he changed his outfit again, dived into the night, and headed towards Taihua Peak...
At the same time, in the kitchen on the top of the mountain, Li Dan was cooking with great interest.
It stands to reason that he has already cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has obtained the corresponding cooking proficiency points.
But tonight, when he unexpectedly asked if there were any skill attributes for making late-night snacks, the system actually said yes.
Good guy, I didn’t tell you earlier.
Is this a hidden mission?
It's very similar to the test papers I used to do, and I will give you an additional question later.
Li Dan felt that he had wasted five days of late-night snack time.
Although my cooking skills are still not that good now, I am still better than my wife, and better than what my body remembers doing in the stove room.
After all, there are too many recipes in the book of knowledge, and more than 90% of them are not from this world.
What's more, once a month of self-discipline is completed, his craftsmanship is top-notch, and even the five-star meals in his previous life were in demand.
It's a pity that the master's wife asked him to become more proficient and taught him another specialty dish half a month later.
As for the two cautious senior brothers on the mountain, they avoided him directly for fear of getting upset.
I worked so hard to make it, but no one commented on it, so I was still a little disappointed.
Tonight is the first time Li Dan makes late-night snacks.
The orange stove fire was burning, and white foam began to bubble in the warm oil pan.
Li Dan was holding a brush, humming excitedly and brushing the crayfish.
Can you imagine that he would find traces of crayfish in the spring water in the back mountain?
Even Li Dan himself thought he was dazzled.
But people in this world don't call them crayfish, they call them redback worms.
A low-level insect whose body is covered with hard shells and has pincers, but has no lethality, is only one step above an ant.
As for eating, forget it, have you ever seen anyone eat ants?
I might as well buy a monster that absorbs the spiritual power of heaven and earth and eat it.
So in the afternoon, after I learned that late-night snacks were also blessed with culinary attributes, I hurried to the back mountain and grabbed a big pot.
I have a mouthful tonight, I really miss it.
The most important thing is that there are various ways to make crayfish on the menu.
After the improvement of my cooking skills in the past few days, except for the complicated dishes where I still have difficulty mastering the heat, materials and various techniques, I can make other dishes with ease with my eyes closed.
And the crayfish is among them.
"Scrub, scrub, scrub!"
"Wash, wash, wash, oh oh~"
[Ding: Congratulations to the host for cooking on time, cleaning two hundred and six crayfish, and the cooking skill attribute +1.]
Li Dan chuckled, washed it again with water, and then walked towards the chopping board.
I'll make it again tomorrow and give it to my senior brother and his wife to try. It's an absolutely new taste.
But what Li Dan didn't notice was that a piece of tile had been removed above his head, and there was a pair of eyes quietly observing his every move.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Shiyao.
"It turns out that everyone's rumors are true. He is actually cooking. It's so late and he is still working hard alone. There is no one to accompany him. He sings alone to kill loneliness and strengthen his courage."
Lu Shiyao looked at the figure below, and for some reason, she suddenly felt moved.
After all, she had never even looked at Li Dan before, and she didn't even know that Master Tian had such a disciple.
A subtle psychological fluctuation, like ripples on a still lake, spreads out without knowing when.
At least they rely on their own efforts.
Unlike the people who were chasing me before, they took some thousand-year-old ginseng and said they dug it themselves through hardships, but in fact they bought it at an auction.
"That's... a red-backed worm? Is that thing edible? It's really a dark delicacy."
Lu Shiyao was stunned when she saw Li Dan's basin of squirming insects.
"I'm afraid it's going to poison me to death."
She had heard that Li Dan had been learning to cook these days, just hoping to give herself a taste of the food she cooked.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work well.
Li Dan, who was unaware of it, felt that his whole body was at ease, and his knife skills and speed were as good as those of a born chef.
Beat the garlic, cut the ginger, dry chili peppers, green onions, sugar, and prepare your own base...
Li Dan became more and more energetic the more he worked.
"He still looks good, but he has made such great progress in five days?"
Seeing Li Dan's flowing movements, Lu Shiyao was surprised.
“Zi la~~”
As Li Dan started to stir-fry the onions, ginger and garlic, a different kind of fragrance rose up.
Lu Shiyao, who was above her, almost started coughing, but she managed to hold it back.
But what followed was that his eyes lit up.
Because...it smells so good!
She looked down again and saw that Li Dan had already poured down a large pot of red-backed worms and was stir-frying.
With the addition of sugar and salt, a large pot of fragrant and spicy crayfish will be ready.
Lu Shiyao looked at all this in disbelief and moved her little nose vigorously.
Unexpectedly, this red-backed worm that no one noticed would become so fragrant after he made it. But how to eat it?
Soon, Li Dan couldn't bear it anymore and started teaching on the spot.
Press the body of the shrimp with one hand, squeeze the second section of the shrimp shell on the abdomen of the crayfish, poke the shrimp body toward the head, and then pull it out with force.
A small piece of white and tender shrimp meat came out.
Li Dan put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Oh my god, this is what it tastes like.
Li Dan was so happy that he almost shed tears. Who would have thought that he could still eat food from his hometown in another world.
Seeing Li Dan's expression, Lu Shiyao was puzzled.
Is it really delicious?
Then he saw Li Dan press a pinch with his fingers, and went to peel off one with great satisfaction.
After eating more than a dozen in a row, Li Dan patted his thigh after picking up his fingers.
"Why did I forget about this? It's okay if I don't have beer, but it seems that the master's wife has wine in the kitchen, which goes well with crayfish!"
After Li Dan finished talking to himself, he quickly got up and ran out of the kitchen.
Wow——
After Lu Shiyao saw Li Dan leave, she climbed in through the window, looked at the lobster on the chopping board, and then looked at the swinging door.
He bit his lip lightly, hesitated, then picked up a crayfish, followed Li Dan's example, took out the white and reddish shrimp meat, and smelled it.
My eyes lit up, this smells better than the above.
Put it in your mouth and chew.
Suddenly, the whole person was completely stunned, eyes full of disbelief.
Delicious, simply delicious.
She has never tasted such elastic meat.
Every piece of tender meat comes out of the spicy soup, but it is not very spicy or oily. On the contrary, it is more pure because it is absorbed by the shell.
Like a river overflowing, all the meat inside is covered in the secret seasoning.
It's so fragrant, so fragrant.
Why, why can I eat such delicious food in the middle of the night?
Immediately afterwards, Lu Shiyao sucked her finger subconsciously and quickly prepared to take another one.
I was quickly stunned again, because the secret spicy garlic seasoning on my fingers, mixed with the lingering fragrance in my mouth, seemed even more amazing.
Is this why Li Dan pinched his fingers?
How amazing.
While there was no one around, she quickly peeled off the second one, the third one...
Soon, more than a dozen of them were eaten, and the more they ate, the more addictive they became.
But soon, cheerful footsteps came from outside.
Lu Shiyao looked at the lobster pot in front of her, the shrimp shells on the chopping board, and the oil stains on her hands, feeling a little reluctant to part with them.
He gritted his teeth, quickly cleaned his shrimp shells, and then climbed through the window to escape.
Li Dan came in with a jar of wine, and immediately saw the lobster missing one layer, and then looked at the half-covered window, and immediately became anxious.
"What kind of wild cat dared to steal your father's shrimps? Come out and let me pet you if you have the ability!"
From the empty valley came the roar of Li Dan protecting the food.
In the middle of the night, there was no one on the mountain and there were no monkeys. Who else could be there except wild cats?
Lu Shiyao, who was running away in the darkness, suddenly blushed.
You are the wild cat.
Are there any sexy little wildcats like me?
As she continued to move away from Taihua Peak, Lu Shiyao suddenly became a little more expectant.
Obviously, in just five days, Li Dan's cooking was successful.
I have to say, she deserves full marks.
Everyone said that he cooks for himself. From tonight's tasting, it can be seen that the heat is almost done.
It's so tempting.
If it was delivered tomorrow, I couldn't be as indifferent as when I first faced the love story, I had to get it as soon as possible.
Looking at the getting darker and darker night, Lu Shiyao showed a sweet smile on her face, pinched her slender fingers again, and her pink tongue showed anticipation...
