On the first day of the New Year, Du Heng rarely slept in.It was too late last night to observe the new year, and there was nothing to do on the first day of the new year. When he woke up, it was almost past time.
I had so much fun last night, when Du Heng woke up, his mind was still full of the fireworks from last night.He turned over and touched the hair on his hand, opened his eyes and saw that Xiaoxiao was lying on his back beside him.
When did Xiaoxiao come?Du Heng remembered that he went back with Fenggui last night.
Xiaoxiao snored comfortably, and Xiaoxiao would not have woken up if it hadn't been for Du Heng touching his belly so nicely that he couldn't stop.Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and rubbed against Du Heng: "Jiujiu~"
Du Heng hugged and rubbed with a smile, he said hello: "Happy New Year, smile, I wish you good health and academic progress this year! Here, I will give you a red envelope."
Everyone has to say auspicious words during the Chinese New Year. Du Heng said a lot of auspicious words to Xuanyu before going to bed yesterday.
He also prepared a red envelope for Xiaoxiao. The so-called red envelope is a red storage bag filled with a shiny spirit stone.Du Heng put the red envelope under the pillow last night, thinking that he would give him the red envelope when he saw Xiaoxiao today.
Xiaoxiao took the red envelope in surprise, and swung his wings around Du Heng's neck like a baby.Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's back: "Where are Xuanyu and the others?"
Smiling and letting go of Du Heng, he took out a red storage bag from under Xuanyu's pillow.Du Heng frowned: "What is this?"
He took the storage bag and opened it, only to see that the storage bag was full of sparkling spirit stones.There was a red note on the seal of the storage bag. Du Heng opened it and saw that it said: We are going to Beishan to burn incense, and we will be back later.Happy New Year, please accept the red envelope.
The signature is Xuanyu, it seems that Xuanyu and the others set off very early, Du Heng didn't even know that Xuanyu set off early.
Du Heng held the storage bag and touched Xiaoxiao's head with a smile: "Xuanyu asked you to give it to me?" Xiaoxiao nodded.
Du Heng smiled and put the red envelope between his and Xuan Yu's pillows, he turned over and said, "Come on, let's go have breakfast!"
In the area where Du Heng's hometown is located, there is a saying in ancient times that rich people would keep three days' rations without cooking to show their wealth.Later, it was passed down to Du Heng's generation, and the living conditions became better and better, and gradually there was no such thing as not cooking for three days.
But it's true that they don't cook new dishes on the first day of the new year, and all the women in Du Heng's family don't go to the kitchen on the first day of the new year.Because in the view of the Du family, women are around the stove all year round, so they should have a good rest on the first day of the new year.So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Father Du cooks in Lao Du's house, and all the dishes he eats are prepared in the twelfth lunar month.
Du Heng came to the kitchen after washing up, he lighted three incense sticks on the stove and bowed in a refreshed manner.I don't know if there are those legendary gods in the world of comprehension. In his hometown, Du Heng and the others would offer incense to the Stove Lord on the first day of the new year.But now, Du Heng offering incense to the stove is regarded as worshiping the Taoist ancestor.
I don't know when Xuanyu and the others will come back, Du Heng opened the refrigerator, he pointed at his Jiangshan proudly and said with a smile: "Come, eat whatever you want!"
Xiaoxiao looked at the shelves full of food and drooled excitedly. Frankly, he wanted to eat anything.But yesterday's lesson told him that he should be a good boy with restraint.Otherwise, what you have worked so hard to eat will be spit out again, which will be a waste and hurt your body.
Xiaoxiao looked around but couldn't find anything delicious, so he finally handed over the decision to Du Heng.As long as Du Heng made it, he would eat it!
Du Heng took out a few sandwiches and muffins with a smile: "Just eat this, okay?" Nodding with a smile, he followed Du Heng to the kitchen in a hurry.
In the kitchen, the small wontons and Nian Sui Sui Sui were dangling, Du Heng sprinkled a handful of Lingmi to the two chickens, facing the squawking little wontons, Du Heng threw half a muffin to it.
The three-pack and sponge cake still maintain the temperature and taste of the pan, and there is no need to make extra tofu soup. He and Xiaoxiao can be full.
Xuanyu and the others are not at home, Du Heng is really bored.He wandered around the house a few times with his hands in his pockets, looked at the shallots and bamboos he planted, and felt that it took so long to do nothing.
During this period of time, he and Xiaoxiao brainstormed together, and prepared a red envelope for Xuanyu in return.As for the contents of the red envelope, you can only know it when Xuanyu opens it!
After finishing the work of returning the red envelope, Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head: "Xiaoxiao, do you have any recreational activities? I'm so bored."
Xiaoxiao tilted his head and thought for a while, he lowered his head and took out a parchment scroll from his storage bag.Du Heng pinched a corner of the parchment, he trembled: "What is this?"
Unfolding his eyelids, Du Heng suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if he saw a strong man drawn on the parchment.That man is punching?
Du Heng took a closer look, he was really punching, and the moves were very clear.Only then did Du Heng realize that what Xiaoxiao gave him might be the secret book of practice.
Smiling and tweeting, he stretched out his little wings and showed Du Heng one move at a time, indicating that Du Heng could practice with him.Du Heng really gave face, and the two of them separated in the courtyard.
Xiaoxiao spread her wings, and Du Heng opened her hands.After practicing this kind of kung fu for a stick of incense, Du Heng felt as if something was surging in his body. He couldn't tell what it was like, but he felt his body was heating up. beads of sweat.
After watching the simple movements, Du Heng followed suit for a while and felt that his body was as heavy as a thousand catties. He panted heavily and sat down under the eaves: "Take a rest, take a rest."
It's strange, he also moves around on weekdays, and when Xuanyu helps him walk through the meridians with spiritual energy when his back hurts, he doesn't feel so tired.Why did Xiaoxiao feel so tired after doing so few simple actions today?
Du Heng sat on the eaves and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Is this the practice? It's more difficult than imagined."
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard, and Little Wonton barked a few times in a milky voice.Du Heng was a little puzzled: "Who is it?"
It was the first time he heard Little Wonton making such a cry. He was familiar with everyone in the village. Could it be that there were guests?
Xiaoxiao walked in front of Du Heng, and he opened the door bouncingly.Du Heng's eyes lit up when he saw the people standing outside the courtyard gate.There is no other reason, the main reason is that the appearance of the visitor is too in line with his aesthetics!
Standing at the door was a girl in a red cloak. The girl was not tall and petite. She had a round fair face and two big eyes that were black and bright like grapes.She smiled at Du Heng, and two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Du Heng felt his mind was blank, this... could it be God-given girlfriend? ?Could it be that the stick of incense just now worked? !
The girl said crisply: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Xuan Yuxuan's house?"
Du Heng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, may I ask you?" Wow, the little girl's voice is so sweet and cute!The heart of Du Heng's old man jumped wildly.
The girl looked at Du Heng with a smile: "You must be Mr. Du. My name is Wen Qiong, and I am the monk that Mr. Xuan brought to enlighten you."
Du Heng was dazed: "Hi, Miss Wen, please come in."
Wen Qiong stepped into the yard, and Little Wonton stopped barking at this time, and wagged its tail at Wen Qiong.Du Heng burst into tears when he saw Little Wonton's reaction. He often heard people say that it's not that the whole family doesn't enter the house, is Little Wonton so spiritual?Does this already identify Wen Qiong's identity?
Wen Qiong saluted with a smile: "Long time no see, Mr. Xiaofeng, your cultivation has improved even more."
Xiaoxiao smiled at Wen Qiong, Wen Qiong looked left and right, taking advantage of no one around, she bent down and hugged Xiaoxiao.She buried her whole face in Xiaoxiao's body: "Ahhhh, Xiaofengjun is still so cute!!"
Following Wen Qiong's movements, the cloak on her head slipped off, and her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.On Wen Qiong's bun, there are actually two butterfly hairpins that are about to fly, which are very shiny and beautiful.
Du Heng looked at Wen Qiong in a daze. What kind of a good place is Yikeshu Village? The girl he likes was sent to the door in such a way.So good, so good!
Wen Qiong's voice was as crisp as a yellow oriole's first cry. She was sitting in the living room holding the honey grapefruit tea that Du Heng poured for her in both hands.She took a sip of tea and then looked at the furnishings of the house with dark eyes: "Master Xuan's family has changed so much."
Du Heng nodded: "Yes." Compared with when he first arrived in the village, it is really a shotgun change now.
Facing Wen Qiong, Du Heng didn't dare to speak loudly: "Is Miss Wen a demon cultivator? Where are you from? It must be hard to do it under heavy snow outside, right?"
Wen Qiong said with a smile: "No, I am a human cultivator. I am a cultivator with five spiritual roots. I have received the favor of Master Xuan. I heard that you need a monk with wood spirit roots to lead your practice. Master Xuan sent me a talisman I set off after receiving the talisman, and I was delayed on the road for two days, otherwise I should have arrived in the first two days."
Du Heng was completely intoxicated by Wen Qiong's voice, and he stared at the two little butterflies on Wen Qiong's head.The little butterflies flew one by one, as if two rays of light flew into Du Heng's heart.
Du Heng said: "Miss Wen, do you live in the demon world? I thought I was the only one living in the demon world."
Wen Qiong smiled and said: "Don't be fooled, just call me Wen Qiong. There are also people in the world of demon cultivators, just like there are demon cultivators in the world of human cultivators."
Xiaoxiao came from the kitchen with a piece of muffin in his mouth.He jumped onto the armrest beside Wen Qiong and put the sponge cake in Wen Qiong's palm. When Wen Qiong saw the pink sponge cake, his eyes were full of stars: "Ah, what a cute cake!! Is it for me to eat?" ? Thank you Xiaofeng-jun!!"
Xiaoxiao began to laugh, and Du Heng couldn't help giving Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.Xiaoxiao really has an advantage in chatting up a girl, look, a pastry can make a girl smile.
Du Heng thought, with Xiaoxiao as an assist, Wen Qiong would definitely like him... right?
Wen Qiong asked: "Master Xuan, aren't they at home?"
Du Heng said: "They went to Beishan to burn incense, and they will come back later. Miss Wen, do you want to rest for a while after traveling all the way?"
Wen Qiong said generously, "Okay."
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiong agreed so quickly, and Du Heng suddenly found himself in trouble.There are rooms in his house. Speaking of which, he and Xuan Yu usually use the kitchen and bedroom the most, and there are several vacant rooms.
There are only empty rooms, one is the room where Xuan Yu originally lived.There is another room on the second floor reserved for Xiaoxiao, no matter which of these two rooms is suitable for Wen Qiong to live in.
Du Heng thought about it, why not let Wen Qiong sleep in Xiaoxiao's guest room first?Anyway, Xiaoxiao never lived in that room.
Just when Du Heng was about to let Wen Qiong go upstairs to rest, he found that Wen Qiong was meditating cross-legged on the chair!Wen Qiong has five hearts, she looks like a porcelain doll when she meditates, and Du Heng immediately shows her white teeth—Wen Qiong is so cute.
107
There is Wen Qiong in the living room, and Du Heng always feels that there is a small hook in the living room hooking his heart in the kitchen.From time to time, he stuck out his head to see if Wen Qiong's meditation was over, and then showed a silly smile.
Looking at Du Heng like this with a smile, he sighed while eating the sponge cake.
Du Heng said to Xiaoxiao earnestly, "Xiaoxiao, you have to do me a favor."
Smiling and tilting his head: "Jiujiu?"
Du Heng pointed to the living room: "I... have a good impression of Miss Wen, can you help me become a matchmaker and help me chase her? In fact, there is no need to do anything, just... say good things about me in front of her, okay? ?”
The muffin in Xiaoxiao's mouth fell to the ground, and he looked at Du Heng like a ghost: "Jiujiu?"
Du Heng couldn't understand what Xiaoxiao was talking about, he thought Xiaoxiao was trying to gain something.He is still bargaining for Xiaoxiao: "For example, I usually send me flowers and snacks. Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a lot of delicious food for you. Do you think it is good?"
Du Heng recognized at a glance that Wen Qiong was a good girl.He felt that if he worked hard, he should be able to hold Wen Qiong's little hand in a few months.Ah, thinking of this, Du Heng is so beautiful that he is about to fly.
It's a pity that Xuanyu is not here, otherwise he should be able to help Xiaoxiao translate the meaning of those two tweets.With a smile, he said, "Are you crazy?"
But seeing that Du Heng sincerely wanted to treat him to something good, he nodded with a smile and reluctantly agreed: "Chirp!"
Du Heng was happy in his heart, as if he had eaten honey.He felt that Wen Qiong was like a sweet and glutinous brown sugar rice cake.With this recipe in his mind, Du Heng took action. He was going to fry some slices of rice cakes and invite Wen Qiong to try them.
Du Heng, who was obsessed with sex, couldn't remember what he said when he got up in the morning. He promised not to cook fresh dishes today, but he actually cut rice cakes.
These rice cakes were made a few days ago. The white rice cakes are as thick as arms and a bit hard in texture. They look warm and moist like jade, and smell the fragrance of Lingmi.Those who didn't know it thought it was some kind of rare warm jade, but in fact, it was a pastry made of Lingmi.
To some extent, the method of rice cakes is similar to that of sponge cakes, but the final products are very different.
The ratio of japonica rice flour to spirit rice flour in sponge cake is almost four to three, while the ratio of japonica rice flour to spirit rice flour in rice cake is three to one.Take three bowls of japonica rice noodles and one bowl of Ling rice noodles and sieve them, add a little salt, then add warm water and knead slowly to form loose rice noodles, then continue to sieve.
Put the sifted rice noodles on the steamer and steam for two sticks of incense, and the rice noodles will form rice cakes.At this time, if you want to eat it directly, it is okay, but if you want to make rice cakes, you need to add a troublesome process-beating.
There is a large stone mortar at the entrance of Du Heng's hometown village. The middle of the mortar is hollow and looks like a cone.Usually, there will be people in the village pounding sesame paste and the like in the stone mortar.
Whenever it is Chinese New Year, people in the village will clean the stone mortar, and then line up in front of the stone mortar to make rice cakes.
Steamed rice noodles are relatively loose, so beat them with a clean, round wooden mallet while they are still hot.After the rice noodles are beaten, the gaps inside will slowly disappear and become sticky.When making rice cakes, there will be special personnel standing beside the stone mortar. Their hands will be stained with water. When the rice cakes stick to the mallet and stone mortar, those people will stop the person responsible for beating the rice cakes.
At this time, they will quickly wipe off the rice cakes from the mallet and stone mortar, and they will also ball up the rice cakes in the stone mortar for subsequent beating.
The successfully pounded rice cakes are as white as jade, soft and sticky to the teeth.The freshly made rice cakes are still warm, and taking advantage of the heat, I grabbed a ball dipped in sugar and stuffed it into my mouth, which made the frowning girl burst out laughing immediately.
Some people’s rice cakes will add sesame and jujube paste, which looks good and tastes delicious, but most of them make rice cakes in the most original color.Du Heng and his group of children like things like villagers gathering together to make rice cakes and fried rice candies, because even the most stingy family will be willing to give away some of the finished products for everyone to taste.Children are not picky, as long as there is something good to eat, they will be happy like birds.
Du Heng remembered that whenever the new year came, his mouth would always be bulging, and there would always be endless snacks.He can take out a handful of snacks in his clothes pocket at any time, and that is really the happiest day of the year.
Later, for some unknown reason, the stone mortar was broken, like a broken bowl, and it was no longer possible to make sesame paste and rice cakes in it.Du Heng and his group of children had no choice but to dig the bottom of the stone mortar and lick the sesame paste and rice cakes stuck to it after everyone left.
Later, Du Heng's childhood ended, and the scene of tasting each rice cake one by one can only stay in memory.
The rice cakes that have just been made should be kneaded into long strips while they are hot, and then cut into long strips.People who are sophisticated will make rice cakes into rectangles, and use molds to print beautiful patterns on them.
Du Heng is not that particular, as long as it can be eaten.With the help of Xuanyu, he harvested a wooden basin of rice cakes that were beaten like jade.
After the rice cakes are cut, they should be placed on oiled bamboo stalks to cool.The rice cake will harden after it is completely cooled, and it can be kept in water at this time, and it will not go bad after ten days and half a month.
And Du Heng has a refrigerator, and after the rice cakes are cold, send them directly to the refrigerator, and they will not go bad for a long time.
There are many ways to eat rice cakes. They can be boiled in soup or steamed. Du Heng sometimes uses rice cakes to stir-fry.Rice cakes are versatile and can be served as rice or as a dish.
At this moment, Du Heng wanted to make the simplest brown sugar rice cake.The nian gao is crispy on both sides and then sprinkled with syrup. It tastes fragrant and sweet.
Ah, this is the taste of love.
He poured a shallow layer of soybean oil into the pot, and then slid the one-inch-thick rice cake along the side of the pot to the bottom of the pot.After the rice cake was baptized by hot soybean oil, it began to swell and creak. Compared with the smooth rice cake slices before being put into the pot, the rice cake in the oil has lost its cold coat and become more attractive.
Du Heng turned the rice cake over several times, and after a while the rice cake puffed up and became golden on both sides.There were also a few pieces of rice cakes that were fried and turned into oblate balls.When Du Heng picked them up and put them on the plate, they were still chattering unconvinced.
At this time, the rice cakes are no longer as cold and hard as before. If you take a bite now, you will be burned by their soft hearts.
At this time, only a spoonful of thick and sweet brown syrup is poured on it!Du Heng likes the feeling when the brown syrup is poured unevenly on the rice cakes, so he happily took out a jar from the refrigerator.
This is the brown syrup he had made before. He was lucky and found sucrose in Zhou's shop.When he had nothing to do the other night, he took a few pieces of brown sugar and made brown syrup.
The color of the prepared brown syrup is reddish red. When you stir it with a spoon, you will see the red syrup hanging on the wooden spoon, and the sweetness of the syrup overflows.Xiaoxiao's eyes straightened immediately, and he jumped onto the stove again.
With a smile, Du Heng took out a spoonful of syrup and poured it on the fried rice cake. The golden rice cake with red syrup looked particularly attractive.It would look even better if a little soybean flour was sprinkled on it.However, Du Heng is lazy, he is already satisfied with this appearance.
He packed up the syrup jar, and then put a piece of brown sugar rice cake into Xiaoxiao's mouth: "Try it, is it delicious?"
Xiaoxiao took a bite of the rice cake, and then heard a slight chewing sound.
Hearing the sound of Xiaoxiao eating, the little wonton buzzed around Du Heng's feet, grabbing Du Heng's shoes with its short, fat claws.Du Heng was so disturbed by it that he had no choice but to put a piece of brown sugar rice cake in the bowl of the small wonton: "Eat it slowly, it's very hot!"
The tail of the little wonton was shaken by the wind, and it took the rice cake in its mouth and bit it open.It's just that the rice cake is a bit hot, and the little wontons are a bit embarrassing to eat.
Du Heng also took a piece, he couldn't swallow the whole thing like a smile, he took a bite carefully.
The soft and waxy inside was hidden under the crunchy rice cake skin. Du Heng took a small bite, and the sticky rice cakes inside were huddled together into a sticky ball and pulled out a long string.
Du Heng gasped: "It's so hot..."
This is the way to eat this stuff, don't be impatient.Du Heng slowly chewed the rice cake in his mouth. The rice cake was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, with the taste of brown syrup... This is the taste of first love! !
Du Heng took a beautiful flower-shaped small plate, and he put a few pieces of brown sugar rice cakes on the plate.Then he took out another plate, and he divided the remaining rice cakes into two and put them on the plate.
This is reserved for Xuanyu, Xuanyu loves sweets, Du Heng promised him that when the rice cake is ready, let him taste the first one.However, the time when Xuanyu went out was not coincidental, anyway, the first pot of rice cakes that Du Heng made had to be reserved for Xuanyu.
And the plate in his hand was carefully placed, and he was going to take it and dedicate it to the lovely girl Wen Qiong.
The remaining rice cakes on the plate were smiling, and Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head: "Eat your rice cakes well."
As he said that, Du Heng walked towards the living room humming a ditty, smiled and shook his head, he lowered his head and pecked a few pieces of rice cakes in his mouth.Girl or something, can you have cute rice cakes?Xiaoxiao really can't figure it out.
Wen Qiong was meditating, when she felt Du Heng approaching, she opened her eyes.
Du Heng handed over the plate with a smile: "Are you hungry? I made some snacks, you need to satisfy your hunger first."
Wen Qiong showed two dimples to Du Heng, and those sweet dimples hit Du Heng's heart at once.Du Heng's heart was beating uncontrollably again, and he felt dizzy as if his brain was starved of oxygen.
Wen Qiong stretched out both hands to take the plate in Du Heng's hand: "Thank you!"
Du Heng almost cried with joy, where could he find such a lovely girl?Wen Qiong is sweet and cute, and Du Heng has already started thinking about their child's name if he said something worthless.
Wen Qiong took small bites of the brown sugar rice cake, her eyes sparkled: "This is delicious!"
Du Heng said with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more."
Du Heng always felt very familiar with these words. After thinking about it carefully, isn't this a slogan?But in this situation, only this sentence can express the joy in Du Heng's heart.
Wen Qiong has a good appetite, and she finished eating all the brown sugar rice cakes in a short while.She licked the corner of her mouth and smiled at Du Heng: "It's delicious."
Du Heng took the plate: "As long as you like it. You can continue to rest, I won't disturb you."
Which love secret book said it?Don't be too active when chasing girls, too active will scare the girl away.But don't be too indifferent. If you are indifferent, the girl will feel that you are not interested in her.Du Heng thinks that he is performing very well now and can score [-] points!
108
Xuan Yu and the others didn't go home until evening, and Du Heng had already prepared several dishes for them at that time.Hearing the cry of the Great Chaos, Du Heng walked out of the yard, and he saw Xuan Yu and the others coming out of the bamboo forest behind Jing Nan's house.A large group of people walked on the snow without making any sound. If it weren't for the barking of dogs, Du Heng would not have known they had come back.
Xuanyu was the first one holding an umbrella, and Du Heng smiled when he saw him: "Xuanyu! We have guests at home!"
When he reached the door of the house, Xuan Yu put away his umbrella, and he looked at Du Heng calmly: "Wen Qiong is here?"
Du Heng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, how did you know?" As soon as the words fell, Du Heng wanted to laugh at himself. Wen Qiong was recruited by Xuan Yu, and Xuan Yu must have known her whereabouts for a long time.
Seeing Xuan Yu and the others enter the door, Wen Qiong made a big salute: "Wen Qiong has met Master Xuan, Mr. Feng, and Mr. Jing."
Chonghua and the others were overjoyed: "Wen Qiong, you are here! Long time no see!" Wen Qiong narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Hello seniors."
Du Heng kept muttering in his heart, there is something wrong with Wen Qiong calling Xuanyu and the others.Is it inappropriate for her to call Jingnan and the others Mr. or Master, but call Chonghua and the others seniors?
Thinking about it carefully, when Du Heng and Xuan Yu went to Lingxi Town together, the demon cultivators they met did not call them according to the names in the cultivation world, but called them adults or sirs.Could it be that Xuanyu and the others like to be called like this?
Xuanyu nodded calmly: "Here we are, you have worked hard all the way."
Du Heng suddenly felt that the aura of Xuanyu in front of him was [-] meters, very much like when he saw Xuanyu for the first time.Xuanyu was so alienated and strangers were not allowed to enter, which made Du Heng a little puzzled, could it be that Xuanyu didn't like Wen Qiong?
Wen Qiong saluted respectfully: "After receiving the talisman from Mr. Wen Qiong, Wen Qiong set off immediately."
Xuan Yu walked towards the kitchen: "Let's talk after you come in."
Du Heng scratched his cheek, and he asked Jing Nan weakly: "What happened to Xuanyu? Did you encounter any unhappy things on Beishan? Why is he so serious?"
Jing Nan beamed and said, "Want to know? Make brown sugar rice cakes for me later, or I won't tell you."
Du Heng fully agreed: "Hey, yes." But he quickly came back to his senses: "Hey? How do you know that I made brown sugar rice cakes?"
Du Heng looked at Xiaoxiao accusingly, could it be that Xiaoxiao's big mouth told Fenggui in some special way?Xiaoxiao looked at Du Heng with a dazed expression, and he followed everyone to the kitchen with his little wings flapping.
Du Heng scratched his cheek, it's so strange, why is Xuan Yu in such a bad mood today on the first day of the Lunar New Year?Did you stumble on Beishan?Or was there something on Beishan that made him feel sad?
While eating, Du Heng felt Xuan Yu's unhappiness even more.Usually Xuan Yu would eat three bowls of rice, but today he only ate one bowl.And he didn't say a few words during a meal, although Xuan Yu usually talked less, but he never saw so few.
On the contrary, Jing Nan and Feng Gui treated Wen Qiong very well, Jing Nan asked Wen Qiong carefully: "Isn't it difficult to come here this time?"
Wen Qiong said with a smile: "Yes, it's a bit chaotic outside at this time, and the inside of the sect is also chaotic."
Feng Gui said slowly: "It's rare to see you, this time we must stay for a while longer. By the way, you should sleep at Jing Nan's house during this time, Lao Nan, you sleep at my house?"
Jing Nan said bluntly: "Okay, Xiao Qiong, let me tell you, I will hand over the things in my house to you, and you can't mess with me."
Wen Qiong was also polite: "Okay!"
Du Heng heard why he came here. Wen Qiong is a frequent visitor to Yikeshu Village, and she sleeps at Jing Nan's house every time she comes.Originally, he, Lao Dao and Da Chaohuo lived in Jing Nan's house, but in order to move a place for Wen Qiong, Jing Nan moved to Feng Gui's house.What a face!
Wen Qiong has a lively temper, she speaks crisply and pleasantly, her laughter and answers can be heard in the kitchen.
Du Heng was both happy and tormented in his heart. He was happy that such a lovely girl came to the village.What is tormenting is... Xuanyu, why is he so angry! !Du Heng panicked.
Before going out, Du Heng grabbed Jing Nan's sleeve: "Jing Nan, tell me quickly, what happened to Xuan Yu today? Why does he seem to have lost 500 million spirit stones on the first day of the new year?"
Jing Nan showed a mouthful of small white teeth: "You underestimate Xuan Yu too much, even if he loses 500 million spirit stones, he won't do this."
Du Heng panicked even more: "What happened to him? Tell me quickly."
Jing Nan looked Du Heng up and down: "Didn't I remind you before? Why are you so clueless? Want me to tell you, make me a brown sugar rice cake."
Du Heng was muttering again, why did he mention the brown sugar rice cake again?
At night Du Heng was lying on the bed, but Xuan Yu didn't show up.Usually, Xuanyu would have appeared at this point, Du Heng stood up and put on his clothes and went downstairs to look for Xuanyu.
He unexpectedly found Xuan Yu in the kitchen, who was squatting in front of the rice bowl of the little wonton.Little Wonton also looked listless. For some reason, the backs of a person and a dog were so lonely.
Du Heng walked out cautiously: "Xuanyu, what happened to you today? Did something happen to you when you went to Beishan?"
Xuan Yu stood up and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. Why did you get down? Go back and rest."
tired?Xuan Yu will be tired?He can deal with so many mountain plasters and soil mole with his bare hands, and he does all the heavy and tiring work at home. In Du Heng's eyes, Xuanyu is a man who is more reliable than mountains.Such a man, he actually said that he was tired?
It's a big deal!
Seeing Xuanyu's depression, Du Heng thought he should give Xuanyu a quiet time and space.But he turned around and took two steps, and Xuan Yu's lonely figure suddenly flashed in his mind.
Du Heng turned his head abruptly: "I almost forgot one thing, Xuanyu, I left something delicious for you."
Xuan Yu froze for a moment, his expression was a bit astonished: "Huh?"
Du Heng walked to the front of the refrigerator and opened it, and he took out a plate of brown sugar rice cakes from inside.He smiled and said to Xuan Yu: "Almost forgot, I left brown sugar rice cakes for you. I just saw that you didn't eat much for dinner. You must be hungry now? Just eat some."
Xuan Yu's eyes lit up immediately: "Give it to me?"
Du Heng put the plate on the dining table: "Of course! Come and taste it if you like it."
Xuanyu's smile came back again, he sat at the dining table and stretched out his hand to squeeze a piece of rice cake into his mouth.After chewing carefully, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Xuanyu's mouth: "It's delicious."
Du Heng held his chin with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more."
Just now Jing Nan asked him for brown sugar rice cakes, but he didn't bring them out.He didn't make many rice cakes today, so he didn't leave much for Xuan Yu.It would definitely not be enough to take it out when eating, so he didn't take it out, and simply kept it for Xuanyu.
Xuan Yu squinted his eyes, chewing the rice cake carefully, and after eating one piece of rice cake, he reached out and took one and fed it to Du Heng's mouth.
Du Heng smiled and said, "I've already washed up."
But having said that, he ate one anyway.
After eating two rice cakes, Xuan Yu suddenly said, "Sorry."
Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Huh? What's the sudden apology for?"
Xuanyu said: "some things happened today, which made me feel a little bad, but now my mood has recovered. I apologize to you because it made you feel uneasy, and I won't do it in the future. I think, I'll be more honest with you in the future."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu's face and said: "Maybe I don't have the right to ask about your affairs, but I still hope you can be happy. If you are unhappy on the first day of the new year, you will be unhappy throughout the year. I have no ability to I can't help you much, but as long as you are willing to tell me, I will be a good listener. If you need it, I am willing to listen to you!"
Du Heng didn't know what was going on, he blurted out these words as soon as his mind was pumped.He doesn't like to see the serious and lonely Xuan Yu, he likes to see the gentle and diligent Xuan Yu.He knows that his status is low and cannot be compared with Xuanyu, but he already regards Xuanyu as his best friend in the cultivation world.He hoped to see Xuan Yu happy, not such a worried look.
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng and asked, "What do you think of Wen Qiong? Do you like her?"
Du Heng's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his paws to hold Xuan Yu's hands: "Speaking of Wen Qiong... Xuan Yu, I want to thank you! She is so cute!!"
Xuanyu's eyes were shining brightly: "Really? As long as you like it. You said before that you like girls with round faces and big eyes. I hope you can get along well with Wen Qiong in the next practice life."
Du Heng was so moved that he died: "Xuanyu, you are really my good brother! You even remember that I like Wen Qiong's girl, don't worry, I am not the kind of person who values sex and despises friends. As long as you need, I am willing to go through fire and water for you Do whatever you want!"
Xuan Yu patted Du Heng's shoulder: "You don't need to go through fire and water, as long as you are happy. Let's go to rest? By the way, did you see the red envelope prepared for you?"
Speaking of this, Du Heng was even more moved: "I saw it! There are so many spirit stones. By the way, I also prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it!"
Xuanyu's mood was extremely good, and his voice was so gentle that it could ooze honey: "Go, go and see the gift you prepared for me."
The lights in the kitchen were off, and Du Heng's voice could be heard vaguely: "It's just that the gift I prepared is a bit shabby compared to yours, so don't dislike it." "No."
And in Fenggui's palace, Fenggui and Jingnan stared at each other: "What? Du Heng prepared a New Year's red envelope for Xiaoyu?? It's unreasonable, what about ours?"
Xiaoxiao flapped his wings and asked him what he was doing, he knew what a fart.He is just a carefree cute chick who eats, drinks and drinks. He doesn't understand the complicated adult world at all!
The author has something to say: Xuan Yu: I heard that you like petite girls with round faces and big eyes, so I found one for you.
Du Heng: Xuanyu! !
On the first day of the New Year, Du Heng rarely slept in.It was too late last night to observe the new year, and there was nothing to do on the first day of the new year. When he woke up, it was almost past time.
I had so much fun last night, when Du Heng woke up, his mind was still full of the fireworks from last night.He turned over and touched the hair on his hand, opened his eyes and saw that Xiaoxiao was lying on his back beside him.
When did Xiaoxiao come?Du Heng remembered that he went back with Fenggui last night.
Xiaoxiao snored comfortably, and Xiaoxiao would not have woken up if it hadn't been for Du Heng touching his belly so nicely that he couldn't stop.Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and rubbed against Du Heng: "Jiujiu~"
Du Heng hugged and rubbed with a smile, he said hello: "Happy New Year, smile, I wish you good health and academic progress this year! Here, I will give you a red envelope."
Everyone has to say auspicious words during the Chinese New Year. Du Heng said a lot of auspicious words to Xuanyu before going to bed yesterday.
He also prepared a red envelope for Xiaoxiao. The so-called red envelope is a red storage bag filled with a shiny spirit stone.Du Heng put the red envelope under the pillow last night, thinking that he would give him the red envelope when he saw Xiaoxiao today.
Xiaoxiao took the red envelope in surprise, and swung his wings around Du Heng's neck like a baby.Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's back: "Where are Xuanyu and the others?"
Smiling and letting go of Du Heng, he took out a red storage bag from under Xuanyu's pillow.Du Heng frowned: "What is this?"
He took the storage bag and opened it, only to see that the storage bag was full of sparkling spirit stones.There was a red note on the seal of the storage bag. Du Heng opened it and saw that it said: We are going to Beishan to burn incense, and we will be back later.Happy New Year, please accept the red envelope.
The signature is Xuanyu, it seems that Xuanyu and the others set off very early, Du Heng didn't even know that Xuanyu set off early.
Du Heng held the storage bag and touched Xiaoxiao's head with a smile: "Xuanyu asked you to give it to me?" Xiaoxiao nodded.
Du Heng smiled and put the red envelope between his and Xuan Yu's pillows, he turned over and said, "Come on, let's go have breakfast!"
In the area where Du Heng's hometown is located, there is a saying in ancient times that rich people would keep three days' rations without cooking to show their wealth.Later, it was passed down to Du Heng's generation, and the living conditions became better and better, and gradually there was no such thing as not cooking for three days.
But it's true that they don't cook new dishes on the first day of the new year, and all the women in Du Heng's family don't go to the kitchen on the first day of the new year.Because in the view of the Du family, women are around the stove all year round, so they should have a good rest on the first day of the new year.So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Father Du cooks in Lao Du's house, and all the dishes he eats are prepared in the twelfth lunar month.
Du Heng came to the kitchen after washing up, he lighted three incense sticks on the stove and bowed in a refreshed manner.I don't know if there are those legendary gods in the world of comprehension. In his hometown, Du Heng and the others would offer incense to the Stove Lord on the first day of the new year.But now, Du Heng offering incense to the stove is regarded as worshiping the Taoist ancestor.
I don't know when Xuanyu and the others will come back, Du Heng opened the refrigerator, he pointed at his Jiangshan proudly and said with a smile: "Come, eat whatever you want!"
Xiaoxiao looked at the shelves full of food and drooled excitedly. Frankly, he wanted to eat anything.But yesterday's lesson told him that he should be a good boy with restraint.Otherwise, what you have worked so hard to eat will be spit out again, which will be a waste and hurt your body.
Xiaoxiao looked around but couldn't find anything delicious, so he finally handed over the decision to Du Heng.As long as Du Heng made it, he would eat it!
Du Heng took out a few sandwiches and muffins with a smile: "Just eat this, okay?" Nodding with a smile, he followed Du Heng to the kitchen in a hurry.
In the kitchen, the small wontons and Nian Sui Sui Sui were dangling, Du Heng sprinkled a handful of Lingmi to the two chickens, facing the squawking little wontons, Du Heng threw half a muffin to it.
The three-pack and sponge cake still maintain the temperature and taste of the pan, and there is no need to make extra tofu soup. He and Xiaoxiao can be full.
Xuanyu and the others are not at home, Du Heng is really bored.He wandered around the house a few times with his hands in his pockets, looked at the shallots and bamboos he planted, and felt that it took so long to do nothing.
During this period of time, he and Xiaoxiao brainstormed together, and prepared a red envelope for Xuanyu in return.As for the contents of the red envelope, you can only know it when Xuanyu opens it!
After finishing the work of returning the red envelope, Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head: "Xiaoxiao, do you have any recreational activities? I'm so bored."
Xiaoxiao tilted his head and thought for a while, he lowered his head and took out a parchment scroll from his storage bag.Du Heng pinched a corner of the parchment, he trembled: "What is this?"
Unfolding his eyelids, Du Heng suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if he saw a strong man drawn on the parchment.That man is punching?
Du Heng took a closer look, he was really punching, and the moves were very clear.Only then did Du Heng realize that what Xiaoxiao gave him might be the secret book of practice.
Smiling and tweeting, he stretched out his little wings and showed Du Heng one move at a time, indicating that Du Heng could practice with him.Du Heng really gave face, and the two of them separated in the courtyard.
Xiaoxiao spread her wings, and Du Heng opened her hands.After practicing this kind of kung fu for a stick of incense, Du Heng felt as if something was surging in his body. He couldn't tell what it was like, but he felt his body was heating up. beads of sweat.
After watching the simple movements, Du Heng followed suit for a while and felt that his body was as heavy as a thousand catties. He panted heavily and sat down under the eaves: "Take a rest, take a rest."
It's strange, he also moves around on weekdays, and when Xuanyu helps him walk through the meridians with spiritual energy when his back hurts, he doesn't feel so tired.Why did Xiaoxiao feel so tired after doing so few simple actions today?
Du Heng sat on the eaves and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Is this the practice? It's more difficult than imagined."
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard, and Little Wonton barked a few times in a milky voice.Du Heng was a little puzzled: "Who is it?"
It was the first time he heard Little Wonton making such a cry. He was familiar with everyone in the village. Could it be that there were guests?
Xiaoxiao walked in front of Du Heng, and he opened the door bouncingly.Du Heng's eyes lit up when he saw the people standing outside the courtyard gate.There is no other reason, the main reason is that the appearance of the visitor is too in line with his aesthetics!
Standing at the door was a girl in a red cloak. The girl was not tall and petite. She had a round fair face and two big eyes that were black and bright like grapes.She smiled at Du Heng, and two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Du Heng felt his mind was blank, this... could it be God-given girlfriend? ?Could it be that the stick of incense just now worked? !
The girl said crisply: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Xuan Yuxuan's house?"
Du Heng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, may I ask you?" Wow, the little girl's voice is so sweet and cute!The heart of Du Heng's old man jumped wildly.
The girl looked at Du Heng with a smile: "You must be Mr. Du. My name is Wen Qiong, and I am the monk that Mr. Xuan brought to enlighten you."
Du Heng was dazed: "Hi, Miss Wen, please come in."
Wen Qiong stepped into the yard, and Little Wonton stopped barking at this time, and wagged its tail at Wen Qiong.Du Heng burst into tears when he saw Little Wonton's reaction. He often heard people say that it's not that the whole family doesn't enter the house, is Little Wonton so spiritual?Does this already identify Wen Qiong's identity?
Wen Qiong saluted with a smile: "Long time no see, Mr. Xiaofeng, your cultivation has improved even more."
Xiaoxiao smiled at Wen Qiong, Wen Qiong looked left and right, taking advantage of no one around, she bent down and hugged Xiaoxiao.She buried her whole face in Xiaoxiao's body: "Ahhhh, Xiaofengjun is still so cute!!"
Following Wen Qiong's movements, the cloak on her head slipped off, and her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.On Wen Qiong's bun, there are actually two butterfly hairpins that are about to fly, which are very shiny and beautiful.
Du Heng looked at Wen Qiong in a daze. What kind of a good place is Yikeshu Village? The girl he likes was sent to the door in such a way.So good, so good!
Wen Qiong's voice was as crisp as a yellow oriole's first cry. She was sitting in the living room holding the honey grapefruit tea that Du Heng poured for her in both hands.She took a sip of tea and then looked at the furnishings of the house with dark eyes: "Master Xuan's family has changed so much."
Du Heng nodded: "Yes." Compared with when he first arrived in the village, it is really a shotgun change now.
Facing Wen Qiong, Du Heng didn't dare to speak loudly: "Is Miss Wen a demon cultivator? Where are you from? It must be hard to do it under heavy snow outside, right?"
Wen Qiong said with a smile: "No, I am a human cultivator. I am a cultivator with five spiritual roots. I have received the favor of Master Xuan. I heard that you need a monk with wood spirit roots to lead your practice. Master Xuan sent me a talisman I set off after receiving the talisman, and I was delayed on the road for two days, otherwise I should have arrived in the first two days."
Du Heng was completely intoxicated by Wen Qiong's voice, and he stared at the two little butterflies on Wen Qiong's head.The little butterflies flew one by one, as if two rays of light flew into Du Heng's heart.
Du Heng said: "Miss Wen, do you live in the demon world? I thought I was the only one living in the demon world."
Wen Qiong smiled and said: "Don't be fooled, just call me Wen Qiong. There are also people in the world of demon cultivators, just like there are demon cultivators in the world of human cultivators."
Xiaoxiao came from the kitchen with a piece of muffin in his mouth.He jumped onto the armrest beside Wen Qiong and put the sponge cake in Wen Qiong's palm. When Wen Qiong saw the pink sponge cake, his eyes were full of stars: "Ah, what a cute cake!! Is it for me to eat?" ? Thank you Xiaofeng-jun!!"
Xiaoxiao began to laugh, and Du Heng couldn't help giving Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.Xiaoxiao really has an advantage in chatting up a girl, look, a pastry can make a girl smile.
Du Heng thought, with Xiaoxiao as an assist, Wen Qiong would definitely like him... right?
Wen Qiong asked: "Master Xuan, aren't they at home?"
Du Heng said: "They went to Beishan to burn incense, and they will come back later. Miss Wen, do you want to rest for a while after traveling all the way?"
Wen Qiong said generously, "Okay."
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiong agreed so quickly, and Du Heng suddenly found himself in trouble.There are rooms in his house. Speaking of which, he and Xuan Yu usually use the kitchen and bedroom the most, and there are several vacant rooms.
There are only empty rooms, one is the room where Xuan Yu originally lived.There is another room on the second floor reserved for Xiaoxiao, no matter which of these two rooms is suitable for Wen Qiong to live in.
Du Heng thought about it, why not let Wen Qiong sleep in Xiaoxiao's guest room first?Anyway, Xiaoxiao never lived in that room.
Just when Du Heng was about to let Wen Qiong go upstairs to rest, he found that Wen Qiong was meditating cross-legged on the chair!Wen Qiong has five hearts, she looks like a porcelain doll when she meditates, and Du Heng immediately shows her white teeth—Wen Qiong is so cute.
107
There is Wen Qiong in the living room, and Du Heng always feels that there is a small hook in the living room hooking his heart in the kitchen.From time to time, he stuck out his head to see if Wen Qiong's meditation was over, and then showed a silly smile.
Looking at Du Heng like this with a smile, he sighed while eating the sponge cake.
Du Heng said to Xiaoxiao earnestly, "Xiaoxiao, you have to do me a favor."
Smiling and tilting his head: "Jiujiu?"
Du Heng pointed to the living room: "I... have a good impression of Miss Wen, can you help me become a matchmaker and help me chase her? In fact, there is no need to do anything, just... say good things about me in front of her, okay? ?”
The muffin in Xiaoxiao's mouth fell to the ground, and he looked at Du Heng like a ghost: "Jiujiu?"
Du Heng couldn't understand what Xiaoxiao was talking about, he thought Xiaoxiao was trying to gain something.He is still bargaining for Xiaoxiao: "For example, I usually send me flowers and snacks. Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a lot of delicious food for you. Do you think it is good?"
Du Heng recognized at a glance that Wen Qiong was a good girl.He felt that if he worked hard, he should be able to hold Wen Qiong's little hand in a few months.Ah, thinking of this, Du Heng is so beautiful that he is about to fly.
It's a pity that Xuanyu is not here, otherwise he should be able to help Xiaoxiao translate the meaning of those two tweets.With a smile, he said, "Are you crazy?"
But seeing that Du Heng sincerely wanted to treat him to something good, he nodded with a smile and reluctantly agreed: "Chirp!"
Du Heng was happy in his heart, as if he had eaten honey.He felt that Wen Qiong was like a sweet and glutinous brown sugar rice cake.With this recipe in his mind, Du Heng took action. He was going to fry some slices of rice cakes and invite Wen Qiong to try them.
Du Heng, who was obsessed with sex, couldn't remember what he said when he got up in the morning. He promised not to cook fresh dishes today, but he actually cut rice cakes.
These rice cakes were made a few days ago. The white rice cakes are as thick as arms and a bit hard in texture. They look warm and moist like jade, and smell the fragrance of Lingmi.Those who didn't know it thought it was some kind of rare warm jade, but in fact, it was a pastry made of Lingmi.
To some extent, the method of rice cakes is similar to that of sponge cakes, but the final products are very different.
The ratio of japonica rice flour to spirit rice flour in sponge cake is almost four to three, while the ratio of japonica rice flour to spirit rice flour in rice cake is three to one.Take three bowls of japonica rice noodles and one bowl of Ling rice noodles and sieve them, add a little salt, then add warm water and knead slowly to form loose rice noodles, then continue to sieve.
Put the sifted rice noodles on the steamer and steam for two sticks of incense, and the rice noodles will form rice cakes.At this time, if you want to eat it directly, it is okay, but if you want to make rice cakes, you need to add a troublesome process-beating.
There is a large stone mortar at the entrance of Du Heng's hometown village. The middle of the mortar is hollow and looks like a cone.Usually, there will be people in the village pounding sesame paste and the like in the stone mortar.
Whenever it is Chinese New Year, people in the village will clean the stone mortar, and then line up in front of the stone mortar to make rice cakes.
Steamed rice noodles are relatively loose, so beat them with a clean, round wooden mallet while they are still hot.After the rice noodles are beaten, the gaps inside will slowly disappear and become sticky.When making rice cakes, there will be special personnel standing beside the stone mortar. Their hands will be stained with water. When the rice cakes stick to the mallet and stone mortar, those people will stop the person responsible for beating the rice cakes.
At this time, they will quickly wipe off the rice cakes from the mallet and stone mortar, and they will also ball up the rice cakes in the stone mortar for subsequent beating.
The successfully pounded rice cakes are as white as jade, soft and sticky to the teeth.The freshly made rice cakes are still warm, and taking advantage of the heat, I grabbed a ball dipped in sugar and stuffed it into my mouth, which made the frowning girl burst out laughing immediately.
Some people’s rice cakes will add sesame and jujube paste, which looks good and tastes delicious, but most of them make rice cakes in the most original color.Du Heng and his group of children like things like villagers gathering together to make rice cakes and fried rice candies, because even the most stingy family will be willing to give away some of the finished products for everyone to taste.Children are not picky, as long as there is something good to eat, they will be happy like birds.
Du Heng remembered that whenever the new year came, his mouth would always be bulging, and there would always be endless snacks.He can take out a handful of snacks in his clothes pocket at any time, and that is really the happiest day of the year.
Later, for some unknown reason, the stone mortar was broken, like a broken bowl, and it was no longer possible to make sesame paste and rice cakes in it.Du Heng and his group of children had no choice but to dig the bottom of the stone mortar and lick the sesame paste and rice cakes stuck to it after everyone left.
Later, Du Heng's childhood ended, and the scene of tasting each rice cake one by one can only stay in memory.
The rice cakes that have just been made should be kneaded into long strips while they are hot, and then cut into long strips.People who are sophisticated will make rice cakes into rectangles, and use molds to print beautiful patterns on them.
Du Heng is not that particular, as long as it can be eaten.With the help of Xuanyu, he harvested a wooden basin of rice cakes that were beaten like jade.
After the rice cakes are cut, they should be placed on oiled bamboo stalks to cool.The rice cake will harden after it is completely cooled, and it can be kept in water at this time, and it will not go bad after ten days and half a month.
And Du Heng has a refrigerator, and after the rice cakes are cold, send them directly to the refrigerator, and they will not go bad for a long time.
There are many ways to eat rice cakes. They can be boiled in soup or steamed. Du Heng sometimes uses rice cakes to stir-fry.Rice cakes are versatile and can be served as rice or as a dish.
At this moment, Du Heng wanted to make the simplest brown sugar rice cake.The nian gao is crispy on both sides and then sprinkled with syrup. It tastes fragrant and sweet.
Ah, this is the taste of love.
He poured a shallow layer of soybean oil into the pot, and then slid the one-inch-thick rice cake along the side of the pot to the bottom of the pot.After the rice cake was baptized by hot soybean oil, it began to swell and creak. Compared with the smooth rice cake slices before being put into the pot, the rice cake in the oil has lost its cold coat and become more attractive.
Du Heng turned the rice cake over several times, and after a while the rice cake puffed up and became golden on both sides.There were also a few pieces of rice cakes that were fried and turned into oblate balls.When Du Heng picked them up and put them on the plate, they were still chattering unconvinced.
At this time, the rice cakes are no longer as cold and hard as before. If you take a bite now, you will be burned by their soft hearts.
At this time, only a spoonful of thick and sweet brown syrup is poured on it!Du Heng likes the feeling when the brown syrup is poured unevenly on the rice cakes, so he happily took out a jar from the refrigerator.
This is the brown syrup he had made before. He was lucky and found sucrose in Zhou's shop.When he had nothing to do the other night, he took a few pieces of brown sugar and made brown syrup.
The color of the prepared brown syrup is reddish red. When you stir it with a spoon, you will see the red syrup hanging on the wooden spoon, and the sweetness of the syrup overflows.Xiaoxiao's eyes straightened immediately, and he jumped onto the stove again.
With a smile, Du Heng took out a spoonful of syrup and poured it on the fried rice cake. The golden rice cake with red syrup looked particularly attractive.It would look even better if a little soybean flour was sprinkled on it.However, Du Heng is lazy, he is already satisfied with this appearance.
He packed up the syrup jar, and then put a piece of brown sugar rice cake into Xiaoxiao's mouth: "Try it, is it delicious?"
Xiaoxiao took a bite of the rice cake, and then heard a slight chewing sound.
Hearing the sound of Xiaoxiao eating, the little wonton buzzed around Du Heng's feet, grabbing Du Heng's shoes with its short, fat claws.Du Heng was so disturbed by it that he had no choice but to put a piece of brown sugar rice cake in the bowl of the small wonton: "Eat it slowly, it's very hot!"
The tail of the little wonton was shaken by the wind, and it took the rice cake in its mouth and bit it open.It's just that the rice cake is a bit hot, and the little wontons are a bit embarrassing to eat.
Du Heng also took a piece, he couldn't swallow the whole thing like a smile, he took a bite carefully.
The soft and waxy inside was hidden under the crunchy rice cake skin. Du Heng took a small bite, and the sticky rice cakes inside were huddled together into a sticky ball and pulled out a long string.
Du Heng gasped: "It's so hot..."
This is the way to eat this stuff, don't be impatient.Du Heng slowly chewed the rice cake in his mouth. The rice cake was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, with the taste of brown syrup... This is the taste of first love! !
Du Heng took a beautiful flower-shaped small plate, and he put a few pieces of brown sugar rice cakes on the plate.Then he took out another plate, and he divided the remaining rice cakes into two and put them on the plate.
This is reserved for Xuanyu, Xuanyu loves sweets, Du Heng promised him that when the rice cake is ready, let him taste the first one.However, the time when Xuanyu went out was not coincidental, anyway, the first pot of rice cakes that Du Heng made had to be reserved for Xuanyu.
And the plate in his hand was carefully placed, and he was going to take it and dedicate it to the lovely girl Wen Qiong.
The remaining rice cakes on the plate were smiling, and Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head: "Eat your rice cakes well."
As he said that, Du Heng walked towards the living room humming a ditty, smiled and shook his head, he lowered his head and pecked a few pieces of rice cakes in his mouth.Girl or something, can you have cute rice cakes?Xiaoxiao really can't figure it out.
Wen Qiong was meditating, when she felt Du Heng approaching, she opened her eyes.
Du Heng handed over the plate with a smile: "Are you hungry? I made some snacks, you need to satisfy your hunger first."
Wen Qiong showed two dimples to Du Heng, and those sweet dimples hit Du Heng's heart at once.Du Heng's heart was beating uncontrollably again, and he felt dizzy as if his brain was starved of oxygen.
Wen Qiong stretched out both hands to take the plate in Du Heng's hand: "Thank you!"
Du Heng almost cried with joy, where could he find such a lovely girl?Wen Qiong is sweet and cute, and Du Heng has already started thinking about their child's name if he said something worthless.
Wen Qiong took small bites of the brown sugar rice cake, her eyes sparkled: "This is delicious!"
Du Heng said with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more."
Du Heng always felt very familiar with these words. After thinking about it carefully, isn't this a slogan?But in this situation, only this sentence can express the joy in Du Heng's heart.
Wen Qiong has a good appetite, and she finished eating all the brown sugar rice cakes in a short while.She licked the corner of her mouth and smiled at Du Heng: "It's delicious."
Du Heng took the plate: "As long as you like it. You can continue to rest, I won't disturb you."
Which love secret book said it?Don't be too active when chasing girls, too active will scare the girl away.But don't be too indifferent. If you are indifferent, the girl will feel that you are not interested in her.Du Heng thinks that he is performing very well now and can score [-] points!
108
Xuan Yu and the others didn't go home until evening, and Du Heng had already prepared several dishes for them at that time.Hearing the cry of the Great Chaos, Du Heng walked out of the yard, and he saw Xuan Yu and the others coming out of the bamboo forest behind Jing Nan's house.A large group of people walked on the snow without making any sound. If it weren't for the barking of dogs, Du Heng would not have known they had come back.
Xuanyu was the first one holding an umbrella, and Du Heng smiled when he saw him: "Xuanyu! We have guests at home!"
When he reached the door of the house, Xuan Yu put away his umbrella, and he looked at Du Heng calmly: "Wen Qiong is here?"
Du Heng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, how did you know?" As soon as the words fell, Du Heng wanted to laugh at himself. Wen Qiong was recruited by Xuan Yu, and Xuan Yu must have known her whereabouts for a long time.
Seeing Xuan Yu and the others enter the door, Wen Qiong made a big salute: "Wen Qiong has met Master Xuan, Mr. Feng, and Mr. Jing."
Chonghua and the others were overjoyed: "Wen Qiong, you are here! Long time no see!" Wen Qiong narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Hello seniors."
Du Heng kept muttering in his heart, there is something wrong with Wen Qiong calling Xuanyu and the others.Is it inappropriate for her to call Jingnan and the others Mr. or Master, but call Chonghua and the others seniors?
Thinking about it carefully, when Du Heng and Xuan Yu went to Lingxi Town together, the demon cultivators they met did not call them according to the names in the cultivation world, but called them adults or sirs.Could it be that Xuanyu and the others like to be called like this?
Xuanyu nodded calmly: "Here we are, you have worked hard all the way."
Du Heng suddenly felt that the aura of Xuanyu in front of him was [-] meters, very much like when he saw Xuanyu for the first time.Xuanyu was so alienated and strangers were not allowed to enter, which made Du Heng a little puzzled, could it be that Xuanyu didn't like Wen Qiong?
Wen Qiong saluted respectfully: "After receiving the talisman from Mr. Wen Qiong, Wen Qiong set off immediately."
Xuan Yu walked towards the kitchen: "Let's talk after you come in."
Du Heng scratched his cheek, and he asked Jing Nan weakly: "What happened to Xuanyu? Did you encounter any unhappy things on Beishan? Why is he so serious?"
Jing Nan beamed and said, "Want to know? Make brown sugar rice cakes for me later, or I won't tell you."
Du Heng fully agreed: "Hey, yes." But he quickly came back to his senses: "Hey? How do you know that I made brown sugar rice cakes?"
Du Heng looked at Xiaoxiao accusingly, could it be that Xiaoxiao's big mouth told Fenggui in some special way?Xiaoxiao looked at Du Heng with a dazed expression, and he followed everyone to the kitchen with his little wings flapping.
Du Heng scratched his cheek, it's so strange, why is Xuan Yu in such a bad mood today on the first day of the Lunar New Year?Did you stumble on Beishan?Or was there something on Beishan that made him feel sad?
While eating, Du Heng felt Xuan Yu's unhappiness even more.Usually Xuan Yu would eat three bowls of rice, but today he only ate one bowl.And he didn't say a few words during a meal, although Xuan Yu usually talked less, but he never saw so few.
On the contrary, Jing Nan and Feng Gui treated Wen Qiong very well, Jing Nan asked Wen Qiong carefully: "Isn't it difficult to come here this time?"
Wen Qiong said with a smile: "Yes, it's a bit chaotic outside at this time, and the inside of the sect is also chaotic."
Feng Gui said slowly: "It's rare to see you, this time we must stay for a while longer. By the way, you should sleep at Jing Nan's house during this time, Lao Nan, you sleep at my house?"
Jing Nan said bluntly: "Okay, Xiao Qiong, let me tell you, I will hand over the things in my house to you, and you can't mess with me."
Wen Qiong was also polite: "Okay!"
Du Heng heard why he came here. Wen Qiong is a frequent visitor to Yikeshu Village, and she sleeps at Jing Nan's house every time she comes.Originally, he, Lao Dao and Da Chaohuo lived in Jing Nan's house, but in order to move a place for Wen Qiong, Jing Nan moved to Feng Gui's house.What a face!
Wen Qiong has a lively temper, she speaks crisply and pleasantly, her laughter and answers can be heard in the kitchen.
Du Heng was both happy and tormented in his heart. He was happy that such a lovely girl came to the village.What is tormenting is... Xuanyu, why is he so angry! !Du Heng panicked.
Before going out, Du Heng grabbed Jing Nan's sleeve: "Jing Nan, tell me quickly, what happened to Xuan Yu today? Why does he seem to have lost 500 million spirit stones on the first day of the new year?"
Jing Nan showed a mouthful of small white teeth: "You underestimate Xuan Yu too much, even if he loses 500 million spirit stones, he won't do this."
Du Heng panicked even more: "What happened to him? Tell me quickly."
Jing Nan looked Du Heng up and down: "Didn't I remind you before? Why are you so clueless? Want me to tell you, make me a brown sugar rice cake."
Du Heng was muttering again, why did he mention the brown sugar rice cake again?
At night Du Heng was lying on the bed, but Xuan Yu didn't show up.Usually, Xuanyu would have appeared at this point, Du Heng stood up and put on his clothes and went downstairs to look for Xuanyu.
He unexpectedly found Xuan Yu in the kitchen, who was squatting in front of the rice bowl of the little wonton.Little Wonton also looked listless. For some reason, the backs of a person and a dog were so lonely.
Du Heng walked out cautiously: "Xuanyu, what happened to you today? Did something happen to you when you went to Beishan?"
Xuan Yu stood up and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. Why did you get down? Go back and rest."
tired?Xuan Yu will be tired?He can deal with so many mountain plasters and soil mole with his bare hands, and he does all the heavy and tiring work at home. In Du Heng's eyes, Xuanyu is a man who is more reliable than mountains.Such a man, he actually said that he was tired?
It's a big deal!
Seeing Xuanyu's depression, Du Heng thought he should give Xuanyu a quiet time and space.But he turned around and took two steps, and Xuan Yu's lonely figure suddenly flashed in his mind.
Du Heng turned his head abruptly: "I almost forgot one thing, Xuanyu, I left something delicious for you."
Xuan Yu froze for a moment, his expression was a bit astonished: "Huh?"
Du Heng walked to the front of the refrigerator and opened it, and he took out a plate of brown sugar rice cakes from inside.He smiled and said to Xuan Yu: "Almost forgot, I left brown sugar rice cakes for you. I just saw that you didn't eat much for dinner. You must be hungry now? Just eat some."
Xuan Yu's eyes lit up immediately: "Give it to me?"
Du Heng put the plate on the dining table: "Of course! Come and taste it if you like it."
Xuanyu's smile came back again, he sat at the dining table and stretched out his hand to squeeze a piece of rice cake into his mouth.After chewing carefully, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Xuanyu's mouth: "It's delicious."
Du Heng held his chin with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more."
Just now Jing Nan asked him for brown sugar rice cakes, but he didn't bring them out.He didn't make many rice cakes today, so he didn't leave much for Xuan Yu.It would definitely not be enough to take it out when eating, so he didn't take it out, and simply kept it for Xuanyu.
Xuan Yu squinted his eyes, chewing the rice cake carefully, and after eating one piece of rice cake, he reached out and took one and fed it to Du Heng's mouth.
Du Heng smiled and said, "I've already washed up."
But having said that, he ate one anyway.
After eating two rice cakes, Xuan Yu suddenly said, "Sorry."
Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Huh? What's the sudden apology for?"
Xuanyu said: "some things happened today, which made me feel a little bad, but now my mood has recovered. I apologize to you because it made you feel uneasy, and I won't do it in the future. I think, I'll be more honest with you in the future."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu's face and said: "Maybe I don't have the right to ask about your affairs, but I still hope you can be happy. If you are unhappy on the first day of the new year, you will be unhappy throughout the year. I have no ability to I can't help you much, but as long as you are willing to tell me, I will be a good listener. If you need it, I am willing to listen to you!"
Du Heng didn't know what was going on, he blurted out these words as soon as his mind was pumped.He doesn't like to see the serious and lonely Xuan Yu, he likes to see the gentle and diligent Xuan Yu.He knows that his status is low and cannot be compared with Xuanyu, but he already regards Xuanyu as his best friend in the cultivation world.He hoped to see Xuan Yu happy, not such a worried look.
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng and asked, "What do you think of Wen Qiong? Do you like her?"
Du Heng's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his paws to hold Xuan Yu's hands: "Speaking of Wen Qiong... Xuan Yu, I want to thank you! She is so cute!!"
Xuanyu's eyes were shining brightly: "Really? As long as you like it. You said before that you like girls with round faces and big eyes. I hope you can get along well with Wen Qiong in the next practice life."
Du Heng was so moved that he died: "Xuanyu, you are really my good brother! You even remember that I like Wen Qiong's girl, don't worry, I am not the kind of person who values sex and despises friends. As long as you need, I am willing to go through fire and water for you Do whatever you want!"
Xuan Yu patted Du Heng's shoulder: "You don't need to go through fire and water, as long as you are happy. Let's go to rest? By the way, did you see the red envelope prepared for you?"
Speaking of this, Du Heng was even more moved: "I saw it! There are so many spirit stones. By the way, I also prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it!"
Xuanyu's mood was extremely good, and his voice was so gentle that it could ooze honey: "Go, go and see the gift you prepared for me."
The lights in the kitchen were off, and Du Heng's voice could be heard vaguely: "It's just that the gift I prepared is a bit shabby compared to yours, so don't dislike it." "No."
And in Fenggui's palace, Fenggui and Jingnan stared at each other: "What? Du Heng prepared a New Year's red envelope for Xiaoyu?? It's unreasonable, what about ours?"
Xiaoxiao flapped his wings and asked him what he was doing, he knew what a fart.He is just a carefree cute chick who eats, drinks and drinks. He doesn't understand the complicated adult world at all!
The author has something to say: Xuan Yu: I heard that you like petite girls with round faces and big eyes, so I found one for you.
Du Heng: Xuanyu! !
