After returning to the courtyard, Li Heng put the matter of the milk aside for the time being.

It is almost noon, and the first thing to do now is to prepare lunch.

As for the ingredients, he had already thought about it and decided to use loaches just caught from the rice fields.

But the number of loaches seems a little small. If there were only a dozen or so mouths like them, it would be more than enough.

The problem is that there are thousands of disciples from the Lingzhi Sect outside, also waiting to eat, so it seems that another dish needs to be cooked.

Li Heng was thinking about what to make for the second dish when Jiang Mei's voice suddenly came from the door.

"Little brother Li Heng, look what good stuff I brought you!"

It turned out that when they were at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Mei did not return to the courtyard on the top of the mountain with Li Heng, but went back to the sect master's mansion first.

Li Heng was still wondering if Jiang Mei had suddenly remembered something so important that she didn't even have time to eat.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Mei followed them right after they arrived, and it seemed that she had gone back to get something.

And it is something that Li Heng is more concerned about, most likely the food ingredients.

"Oh? Could it be that Sister Jiang brought the cow to me?"

Li Heng already knew what Jiang Mei brought him, but he deliberately guessed wrong. This is called emotional value.

"Hehehe~ You guessed wrong, little brother. Sister allows you to guess again."

Jiang Mei was amused by Li Heng and laughed, and insisted that he guess again.

"Goodbye, Sister Jiang, I can't guess, just tell me directly!"

Li Heng continued his performance.

"My little brother is so stupid! Forget it, I'll just tell you directly!"

"Dangdang~ That's it! Take a look for yourself."

Jiang Mei said with some pride, then stretched out her hand, and with a "bang", a sack fell in front of her.

"Oh! It's glutinous rice! I almost forgot about it, but I didn't expect Sister Jiang still remembered it!"

Li Heng walked forward, opened the sack, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice, checked it, and pretended to be surprised.

"Thank you so much, Sister Jiang! I was originally worried about what to make for the second dish, but after seeing the glutinous rice you sent me, I immediately had an idea."

This is true. In addition to being a staple food, glutinous rice can be eaten directly by steaming, made into pastries, or combined with other ingredients to make dishes.

If glutinous rice is used as a staple food, it is more troublesome to handle than ordinary rice.

Before steaming glutinous rice, it must be soaked in water for at least an hour, otherwise it will be too late to eat it at noon.

But I can consider it tonight or tomorrow morning.

"Wow, hahaha~ You're so polite, brother. Why thank me? I promised you before, so I have to keep my word!"

Jiang Mei kept patting Li Heng's shoulders and answering while laughing. It was obvious that she was very happy.

"By the way, how much glutinous rice did Sister Jiang bring? Is it enough for everyone?"

After Jiang Mei stopped, Li Heng rubbed his numb shoulders and asked a question that concerned him.

"Watch out, little brother!"

Jiang Mei reached out again.

"Dong dong dong..."

In the kitchen, sacks fell to the floor like raindrops.

After a few breaths, a mountain of glutinous rice, more than ten feet high, appeared in front of him.

Moreover, the height of this "mountain" is still increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is that enough? Brother Li Heng!"

Jiang Mei turned her head and asked, but her hands never stopped moving.

"Enough! Enough! Sister Jiang, please stop now!"

Li Heng nodded repeatedly. He was afraid that if he was a second late, the kitchen roof would be broken.

"Oh my goodness! You didn't empty the warehouse, did you?"

Everyone looked up at the mountain of rice in front of them. It seemed like they had heard of this scene somewhere before.

I remembered that it was something Li Heng had told me before, and it was mentioned in the story of Journey to the West.

When the four masters and apprentices passed through Fengxian County, it had not rained there for three years.

When Wukong took Bajie to the Heavenly Palace to pray for rain, the Jade Emperor used a mountain of rice and a mountain of flour to test the two brothers.

However, the mountain of rice in front of them was much larger than the one they encountered that time. Even if the second senior brother came, he would not be able to finish eating it in a short time.

"Hehe, you're right!"

Jiang Mei really collected all the glutinous rice that could be found in the sect.

"Sister Jiang, you are so generous!"

Li Heng is not a greedy person and will not empty the glutinous rice stock of Lingzhi Sect all at once.

"This is enough for us to eat for a while. Sister Jiang, please take the rest back first. I'll come back to you when I finish what I have."

He only collected fifty sacks, about two thousand five hundred kilograms of glutinous rice.

"OK then."

While putting the sack into her ring, Jiang Mei replied, if Li Heng didn't want it, she couldn't force it on him.

"Snapped!"

"We have a deal. You must come to me after you finish eating. Or I can bring it to you."

As she was collecting, she suddenly understood what Li Heng said at last. Her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands, emphasizing the word "definitely".

If Li Heng returned to Tianyi Dao Sect in the future, wouldn't this be the reason she had been looking for to go to Xiaochu Peak for a free meal?

As long as she has a legitimate reason, it would be interesting to see which elder would stop her from going to Xiaochufeng for a meal.

No, no no!

You should say: On business.

Isn't it her job as the sect leader to maintain friendly relations between the Lingzhi Sect and the Tianyi Sect?

Thinking of this, Jiang Mei felt that it was a bad decision.

Now she wished she could snatch back the fifty bags of glutinous rice from Li Henggang's hands. Keeping four or five bags would be enough.

God knows how long it will take Li Heng and his friends to finish fifty bags of glutinous rice?

As Jiang Mei thought about it, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyes involuntarily stared at the ring on Li Heng's hand.

"Sister Jiang, what are you doing? You can't use force in public!"

Li Heng protected the ring with his other hand, then hid his hands behind his back and looked at Jiang Mei in front of him vigilantly.

He had noticed it just now. Jiang Mei kept staring at her hands. After a little thought, she understood what was going on.

If Jiang Mei wasn't greedy for his body, then it must be related to the glutinous rice he accepted.

"Hehe, what's the point of being strong or not? Don't talk nonsense, little brother!"

Jiang Mei's little thoughts were seen through. She withdrew her gaze somewhat embarrassedly, waved her hand and laughed.

No matter what she thought, she certainly wouldn't do that. After all, she was the sect leader, so how could she do such a shameful thing?

Li Heng probably knew this too, and the nervousness he showed before was probably just fake.

Now that all the ingredients were in place, Li Heng stopped wasting time and started preparing lunch for everyone.

But before that, he found a few large water vats and poured the glutinous rice into them.

Then soak it in clean water, so that you can eat steamed glutinous rice in the evening.
