The group's favorite junior sister returns to save the whole family of resentful villains

"I heard that you killed the demon snake that was causing chaos in the sea in a critical moment and saved my daughter and millions of people nearby... snap."

Before Liu Xihe finished his polite words, he involuntarily picked up a piece of fried lotus root and put it into his mouth.

The batter is light and crispy, and the lotus root slices are sweet and crunchy, which perfectly relieves the greasiness of the fried food. A thin layer of meat filling is sandwiched inside, which enriches the taste and adds a salty flavor to the lotus root sandwich.

The taste of this traditional New Year's Eve dish may not be amazing, but it is very classic.

Especially when it’s fresh out of the pot, hot and crispy, you can’t stop eating it.

Liu Xihe quickly finished a piece of food with a "crunch, crunch" sound, and his dirty and evil hands naturally reached into the plate.

An Liu, who was hiding in the dark, was afraid that the former sect master would "lose his integrity in his later years", so he immediately showed up without even hiding, "Master Dongjun, you are right, this is the young sect master's lifesaver."

Frightened by An Liu, Liu Xihe stole... Her hand holding the lotus root clip paused, and she calmly wiped the oil stains off her fingertips with her spiritual power, and smiled at Ji Qingzhou who was more than ten steps away.

"My fellow Daoist, I am grateful for your kindness. If you don't mind, could you please exchange the contact information of the Wen Xun Yu Ling with me? If you need my help in the future, you can contact me at any time."

As Liu Xihe spoke, he walked towards Ji Qingzhou with the Jade Token of Hearing News in one hand.

She took just one step and passed a pile of plates of fried food.

Judging from the shape, it is round, and from the smell, it is probably the meat of some kind of spiritual beast.

Some secular dynasties seem to make something similar during the New Year, called...

Fried meatballs?

However, the colors of some of the fried meatballs seem to be different.

Could it be that something else was added?

Liu Xihe thought about it, and stopped involuntarily, and then stretched out his evil big hand involuntarily.

An Liu: “!!!”

My former master!

You only took three steps!

Three steps!

How come——

Without waiting for An Liu to stop Liu Xihe, Liu Xihe skillfully picked up a fried meatball of a different color and put it into his mouth.

Unlike normal fried meatballs which have a soft surface, this one has a slightly crispy surface but is extremely soft, tender and juicy on the inside.

In addition to the meat filling that is 30% fat and 70% lean, there seems to be something else with a crisp and slightly sweet taste.

Liu Xihe almost subconsciously turned around and looked a few steps away at the fried lotus root cakes she had just eaten.

She suddenly realized: "Is lotus root added to the meatballs?"

Liu Xihe felt that the fried meatballs of different colors were the fried lotus root balls prepared by Ji Qingzhou.

To make fried lotus root balls, first peel the lotus root and mash it, squeeze out the water, then add seasonings and mix well.

Only then can it be mixed with the chopped meat. After being reunited, it is first steamed and then fried in a pan.

In order to enhance the taste of the fried lotus root balls, Ji Qingzhou also added a little chopped and washed lotus root to the lotus root paste.

The fried lotus root balls made in this way can occasionally reveal a few sweet lotus root particles in their soft filling.

As a Mahayana cultivator, Liu Xihe could easily distinguish the different flavors.

Ji Qingzhou nodded: "Yes."

"good."

Liu Xihe threw the remaining half of the fried lotus root ball into his mouth, and his eyes involuntarily looked a few steps away, where there was another pile of plates with another kind of fried food.

"These are... fried dumplings?"

Liu Xihe was surprised, "Can dumplings be fried? I've only seen boiled and steamed dumplings."

As a person who climbed from the bottom to the top position in Qianjimen, Liu Xihe is undoubtedly a workaholic.

In the past, she spent all her time practicing and studying the Wen Xun Jade Order.

After ascending to the position of sect leader, Liu Xihe also had to devote his energy to taking care of all the affairs of the sect.

Liu Xihe was so enjoying himself that he had almost no time to care about anything else.

Even though this was her own daughter, Liu Xihe did not spend too much time teaching her. She just thought that her daughter would be like her and would grow up well with a little guidance.

Liu Xihe knows countless secrets of the Three Realms and also knows countless strange things.

She had also heard of many delicious foods, but only in words or conversations and had never tasted them herself.

If Liu Xihe had not resigned from the position of leader of Qianji Sect in recent years and had more free time, the food he had tasted could even be described as "poor".

Seeing Liu Xihe staring at the fried dumplings with a look of surprise on his face, Ji Qingzhou caught a glimpse of An Liu's expression, as if he wanted to pounce on Liu Xihe and hug his thighs to stop the former sect leader from embarrassing himself for a bite of food.

She held back her laughter and took the initiative to ask: "Master Dongjun, do you want to try it?"

Liu Xihe said in a friendly manner: "Then I'd better obey your command respectfully."

An Liu: “…” I didn’t steal it, but it doesn’t feel any better either.

Ji Qingzhou invited Liu Xihe to eat fried dumplings, while she picked out the spices from the pork elbow stewed in the soup pot, preparing to reduce the sauce and turn off the fire.

"Daytime?"

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Liu Furuo calculated that the time was almost up, so she returned to her yard and smelled the aroma of frying from afar.

She immediately remembered that Ji Qingzhou had asked her in the Wen Xun Yu Ling what Liu Xihe liked to eat.

When Liu Furuo reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw it at first sight...

The yard was almost filled with boilers and kitchen utensils, and plates piled up like a small mountain with various foods neatly placed on them.

And that bright red——

Her mother, Liu Xihe.

When Liu Furuo saw Liu Xihe, he stopped in his tracks as he was about to come in.

At this time, Liu Xihe turned his head, and one side of his cheek was slightly bulging.

The deep-fried dumplings pressed against the flesh of her cheeks, their shapes particularly clear.

Liu Furuo: “…”

She turned her head and pretended to straighten her clothes.

Turning his back to everyone, Liu Furuo took a deep breath and held back the laughter that was about to come out.

When he looked towards the courtyard again, Liu Furuo's expression had returned to calm.

She stepped into the courtyard and greeted calmly, "Mom."

Liu Xihe didn't have time to reply to her. He was crunching the fried dumplings in his mouth and just waved at her as a greeting.

Liu Furuo pursed her lips. Her body, which had been somewhat tense, relaxed a little after seeing Liu Xihe like this.

His steps were no longer as heavy and slow as before.

“Help the weak.”

Ji Qingzhou poked his head out from behind Liu Xihe and smiled at her: "I made stewed pork elbows, would you like to try it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Furuo's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

Stew...stew the pork elbow?

Luo Feiyi also made similar dishes for her.

A lethal amount of chili peppers were added to the soup and stewed.

The final product might be acceptable to people who like spicy food, but she...

I had stomachache after eating.

However, facing Ji Qingzhou's enthusiastic attitude, Liu Furuo tried his best to force out an expectant smile: "Well, then I'll try it."

Liu Xihe was asking for Ji Qingzhou's consent when he took a plate of fried dumplings and stuffed it into An Liu's hands.

An Liu seemed terrified on the surface, but he actually took it with great joy.

When they heard Liu Furuo's words, they vaguely noticed that her tone seemed a little drier than before, and they observed her calmly out of the corner of their eyes.

Liu Furuo walked to Ji Qingzhou.

When she got closer, the rich aroma of the sauce, which was covered by the smell of deep-frying, easily took away her sense of smell.

"what?"

Liu Furuo looked at the big pot of stewed pork elbow, his eyes slightly widened, and blurted out: "It's not spicy?"

Not to mention the spiciness, Liu Furuo had to search for a while before he found a few red peppers in the corner.
