The East Gate is not as busy as the West Gate, with a constant stream of people coming in and out.

Most of the time, there are only a few people passing through here, and you don’t even have to queue up.

However, the number of city guards here is several times more than that at the west gate, and the inspection of people entering and leaving is also stricter.

The arrival of Li Heng and his group could hardly fail to attract their attention. Before they even approached the city gate, soldiers came over to inquire.

The rest of the soldiers also perked up and were on high alert, fearing that Li Heng and his men were here to cause trouble.

Fortunately, there was Ouyang Hong, a “family member” in the team, who quickly dispelled the other party’s concerns.

The enthusiastic city gate guard, after learning that Li Heng was a chef, insisted on taking him to the city tower for a tour.

Li Heng couldn't refuse, so he took a few bosses and apprentices to the city wall.

The rest of the disciples were waiting there. Places like the city tower were nothing new to them.

After all, who would have the time to come back and visit their workplace during the holidays?

Isn’t this just making yourself miserable?

Li Heng stood on a city wall about 60 to 70 meters high and looked into the distance. All he saw were lush trees, but he did not see the sea that he had been longing for.

This place is still several miles away from the real coast, and the terrain is not very high, so it is normal that you can't see the sea.

"Master Li Feng, I heard that this is your first time at the seaside. I wonder if you have tried our local specialties?"

After the defending general welcomed Li Heng and others to the city wall, he ordered his men to bring a bunch of green fruits as big as heads.

“Is this a coconut?”

Li Heng recognized it at a glance. He took it and looked at it carefully. It was indeed the coconut he remembered.

He should have thought of this thing earlier. He had been thinking about things in the sea and forgot about things growing on the coast.

I just don’t know if I can find any other fruits besides coconuts.

"Oh? It turns out that Master Li Feng already knew about it!"

The guard was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Heng had never been to the seaside, but could recognize things that only existed here.

"Haha, it's nothing. I've had the pleasure of trying it a few times before."

Coconuts are a relatively common fruit on Earth and are not expensive. Even Li Heng, who lives in the inland, has eaten them.

But in this Xuanwu Continent, coconut is ultimately just an ordinary fruit that does not contain any spiritual energy, and is not widely spread in the world of immortal cultivation.

That's why the guard was surprised, but considering Li Heng's identity and the rumors about Li Heng's pursuit of food, he thought it was normal.

"What is coconut? Is it delicious?"

The reactions of the two little ones were more in line with the defender's expectations.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Xiao Chi held a coconut and curiously flicked it a few times with his fingers. It felt hard and difficult to eat.

Lu Xiaoxiao also held a coconut and shook it a few times, while thinking to herself, with such big fruits, would I be full after eating two?

"Whoa~ Whoa~"

The coconut milk inside made a sound like flowing water under the impact.

"Never mind! Let me try it first to see if it tastes good."

After studying it for a while, Xiao Chi still couldn't figure out what it meant, so he decided to eat it first as a sign of respect.

"Don't..."

Before the guard could stop him, Xiao Chi opened his mouth wide and bit into the coconut in his arms.

The result is predictable. Xiao Chi, who was full of expectations, chewed the leaf skin in his mouth for a few times, and his brows wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Just by looking at her expression, it's not hard to imagine that the taste of coconut peel is really not very good.

After all, Xiao Chi had never shown this kind of expression when he ate cookies made of Guanyin clay before.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

"This thing is too disgusting, isn't it? It's bitter and astringent, and feels like eating sawdust."

After Xiao Chi spit out everything in his mouth, he completely lost interest in this thing called coconut.

He raised his hand to throw the coconut away, but Li Heng took it away.

"Who told you to eat coconuts like this? But your teeth are really hard, almost as hard as your uncle Lu's."

Li Heng looked at the hole in the coconut that was bitten by Xiao Chi and teased her.

"My dear nephew, just say what you want to say. Why are you making insinuations about me?"

Everyone present who knew Lu Xuan knew what they meant.

Then, there was a hint of smile in everyone's eyes when they looked at Lu Xuan. He might never get rid of the joke of eating "hard food" in his whole life.

"Hehe, really? Thank you, Brother Li Heng, for the compliment. Let's talk about eating coconuts first!"

Xiao Chi didn't care whether Li Heng praised her or criticized her, it was not as important as the delicious food.

"Okay! Then you should be careful. You can't eat the shell of a coconut."

Li Heng reached out and took out a kitchen knife, and lightly scratched the coconut, opening the coconut in his hand, revealing the coconut juice and coconut meat hidden inside.

Although the coconut shell is very hard, it is like paper in front of the ninth-level kitchen knife.

"The coconut milk and coconut meat inside are the edible parts."

After returning the opened coconut to Xiao Chi, Li Heng also gave her a straw so that she could drink the coconut juice more conveniently.

Now that Xiao Chi has his share, he naturally won’t forget Lu Xiaoxiao’s share.

"What about yours? Do you want my help?"

After sending the two kids away, Li Heng turned around and asked the others.

"It's just a small matter. Don't bother me. I can do it myself."

Lu Xuan raised the coconut into the air, stretched out two fingers with his other hand, and gathered the spiritual power in his body at his fingertips.

Then it was released outwards, forming a spiritual light blade about half a foot long.

Just gently wave it at the top of the coconut to cut out a fist-sized notch.

"Clap clap clap!"

"awesome!"

Li Heng clapped and praised.

In fact, with his current level of cultivation, it is not difficult to achieve the same effect, but Li Heng has never thought about it in this direction.

"Tsk! I'm just opening a coconut, why are you making such a fuss?"

Xiaoyaozi on the side sneered with disdain, took a straw from Li Heng's hand, and poked it gently down into the coconut.

The straw easily passed through the coconut shell and reached the inside of the coconut.

Ordinary bamboo straws certainly cannot pierce the hard coconut shell, so Xiaoyaozi added spiritual power to the bamboo straw in his hand to enhance its hardness.

"Wow~ Brother Li Heng, this coconut milk is delicious, and the coconut meat is also delicious."

Li Heng had just started drinking the coconut juice when the two little ones finished it and started eating the coconut meat.

Coconut milk does not have the sweetness of sugarcane juice. It tastes lightly sweet and has the unique fragrance of coconut.

Fresh coconut meat tastes sweet and refreshing, and has a rich coconut milk aroma when chewing.

While others were happily enjoying the food, Li Heng was thinking about the ingredients.

Although coconut is classified as a fruit, it can actually be used as an ingredient to make various dishes.

In addition to cooking, coconut meat can also be used to extract coconut oil, and he decided to try both methods.
