God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

"Ask her! Maybe she has something important to deal with and can't get away."

Lin Shiqi took a bite of rice and continued.

"Before I left, I seemed to see her gathering a group of elders and the deputy sect leader, seemingly to discuss something."

"What is more important than eating?"

The two little ones interrupted and said that in their opinion, eating is the top priority and other things can be put aside.

"I don't know what exactly happened, but I guess it has something to do with Master Li Feng."

At that time, Lin Shiqi was only thinking about getting to Li Heng as soon as possible, so she didn't follow Nangong Ya to join in the fun.

However, her intuition told her that what the sect leader wanted to discuss should have something to do with Li Heng and his group, or the Tianyi Dao Sect behind them.

"Is it related to me?"

Li Heng was stunned, not understanding why Lin Shiqi said that.

Could it be that Sect Master Nangong already knew that Li Heng wanted to leave Miaoyin Sect?

Or does she want to force Li Heng to stay in Miaoyin Sect?

Come to think of it, it's impossible, because Li Heng just came up with the idea of ​​leaving in the past two days and hasn't had time to tell anyone yet.

As for Nangong Ya wanting to force Li Heng to stay, that was even more impossible.

Firstly, the strength of Miaoyin Sect does not allow it, and secondly, Li Heng believes that Nangong Ya is not such a person.

"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Why not ask her directly after we meet her? Wouldn't that save trouble?"

Li Heng was thinking in his mind, it’s not that he likes gossip, but mainly because Lin Shiqi said that the matter was related to him.

Maybe he didn't even need to ask, Nangong Ya would have said it herself.

"Oh! I thought it was our Elder Leng who made Sect Master Nangong angry, so she didn't come out of spite."

Su Lingxuan was gnawing on chicken feet and drinking Coke, her heart eager to hear gossip.

Her focus is completely different from Li Heng's.

Su Lingxuan's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Leng Zhong.

"No."

Leng Zhong didn't expect that everyone was chatting happily, and the topic suddenly turned to him.

The person who least wants to be noticed has become the focus.

Li Heng guessed that Leng Zhong must want to sing to Su Lingxuan now: "Listen to me, thank you..."

Until the end of lunch, no one waited for Nangong Ya to arrive.

I have nothing to do in the afternoon.

Li Heng plans to pickle salted duck eggs.

The pickling time for this thing is a little long. Under normal circumstances, it is about twenty-five to thirty days.

Even if Li Heng had the blessing of the formation, if he finished making it today, he would have to wait three days before he could eat it.

First, take out all the fresh duck eggs with mud, put them in a basin, and scrub them carefully with clean water.

Make sure the surface of the duck eggs is clean and there are no cracks on the surface of the eggshell.

If there is any, you can only pick it out and make other dishes.

Li Heng checked all the duck eggs and indeed found two with cracks.

It seems that we can give the two little ones a snack during dinner.

The next step is very important. The washed duck eggs must be placed in the sun for at least an hour.

Because this is the trick to ensure that salted duck eggs release oil.

After cooking the duck eggs, start preparing the sauce for pickling the salted duck eggs.

Add enough water to the pot, then add an appropriate amount of salt. The ratio of water to salt is five to one.

Then add in order: a small piece of cinnamon, five star anises, a handful of peppercorns, and a few bay leaves.

These spices are added to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then simmer for two to three minutes.

Then turn off the heat, remove the residue, and let the sauce cool naturally.

After the duck eggs have been exposed to enough sunlight, the sauce should be ready.

The following are the steps for pickling duck eggs.

Li Heng took out a clean jar that he had prepared in advance, without water or oil.

Put the duck eggs in one by one, and then pour in the cooled sauce, making sure the sauce covers all the duck eggs.

Then, add a cup of strong liquor into the jar.

Because alcohol can accelerate the coagulation of the protein in duck eggs, allowing the egg yolk to release oil better.

Finally, seal the jar and place it in a cool place. You will know whether it is successful or not in three days.

......

While Li Heng was busy making salted duck eggs, on the other side of the clan leader's mansion.

In a spacious hall, Nangong Ya was arguing with a group of people.

This group of people includes some current elders, honorary elders, deputy leaders and former leaders.

The so-called honorary elders can be understood as elders who have retired.

They usually focus on cultivation and are in seclusion all year round.

Generally speaking, they would not easily interfere in the affairs of the sect unless they encountered some major events, such as the replacement of the current sect leader.

That’s right, Nangong Ya gathered all the key figures of Miaoyin Sect today just to announce one thing: she would resign from the position of sect leader.

It goes without saying who was the reason why she made this decision.

Song Qingfeng and a group of big guys wanted to do something but hadn't done it yet, but they didn't expect that Nangong Ya would do it first.

"boom!!!"

A middle-aged woman sitting in the first seat slammed the table after hearing Nangong Ya's words.

"Nonsense! What do you think of your position as the sect leader? Just because of your casual words, you're going to give up your job?"

The person who dared to roar at Nangong Ya was the former leader of Miaoyin Sect, Jiang Yue.

It was she who trained Nangong Ya to be the successor to the sect leader.

"Master, please don't be angry! I called everyone here just to discuss this matter."

Nangong Ya stood obediently in front of her master like a child who had done something wrong, lowering her head and playing with the corner of her clothes.

Although she had expected to face opposition, she did not expect her master's reaction to be so intense.

"Humph! There's no room for negotiation on this matter!"

"You disturbed my meditation just for such an inappropriate thing?"

"I'll let you off this time, but if you dare mess around again, I'll beat you up!"

Jiang Yue stood up angrily, walked to Nangong Ya, poked her head with her finger, and prepared to go back to the back mountain, where she was in seclusion.

Nangong Ya shrank her head, not daring to hide.

Seeing that Jiang Yue was about to walk out the door, Nangong Ya wanted to try to keep her, but was afraid of being scolded again.

Fortunately, an honorary elder stepped forward and called Jiang Yue.

"Yueyue, why are you so anxious? Now that you are here, why don't you listen to what Xiao Yaer has to say first? How can such a short time delay your ascension?"

The person who spoke was a kind old woman who was leaning on a cane and looked to be quite old.

"Okay, okay! Then let's hear what this traitor has to say."

Jiang Yue had no choice but to turn around and return to her seat.

Although the old woman's cultivation and status are not as good as Jiang Yue's, according to seniority, she has to call her aunt.

In the eyes of the old woman, the former and current clan leaders were just two little girls who had not grown up, so the way she addressed them had not changed from childhood to adulthood.

Nangong Ya looked at the old woman with some gratitude and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she is given the opportunity to argue, no, to speak, she will be able to convince the master and the elders.
