The peace of the Three Realms depends on me [Food]

54. A happy event from heaven

The weather in the next two days was good, but the fog was very heavy. Every morning, the inside of the mountain col was foggy, and the fog would not disperse until the end of the day.In addition to the heavy fog, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the warmth can only be felt when the sun comes out.

Such weather is very suitable for drying shade rice.Yinmi is made from steamed glutinous rice and then air-dried. It is the most important material for making fried rice candy.On the second day after returning from Pingqiao Town, Ji Pingan soaked glutinous rice and steamed it.

The temperature is very low, and the steamed yin rice will not deteriorate even if it is placed in the sun.On the contrary, because of the cold, the glutinous rice was easily frozen and scattered. Ji Pingan reckoned that after drying it in the sun for a day or two, it could be fried and made into fried rice candy.

In addition to preparing fried rice candy, Ji Pingan has also been diligently turning over his marinated bacon, rabbit and duck in the past two days, twice a day.

A lot of blood was released from the salted meat, and the color was not as fresh as it was at the beginning.This is what Ji Ping'an wanted. In two days, he would be able to take the meat out of the jar, wash it with clean water and dry it in the air.

He and Xiaobai chose clean straw and tied them into straw ropes, and planned to use these straw ropes to tie the meat in two days.Straw ropes that were more than a foot thick and long were hung under the eaves of the corridor, and they looked quite festive in their yellow color.

The long row of sausages under the eaves exudes a unique smell. Smelling this smell, one knows that the twelfth lunar month is approaching, and the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger.

Whenever they come to this world, people who have been busy for a whole year will relax and cook some delicious food to reward themselves.Ji Ping'an was no exception. Today he had another important thing to do, which was to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms.

Even if the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, mushrooms will grow under the thick snow.Some mushrooms are only available in winter, and the colder the weather, the better they grow.Ji Pingan didn't want to miss this delicacy.It just so happened that he had to go to the mountain to cut cypress branches and come back to smoke bacon. Anyway, he had to go up the mountain, so he might as well go and see if there were any mushrooms growing.

Hearing that Ji Pingan was going to pick up mushrooms, Xiaobai and Xiaohuang followed without saying a word. They just wanted to see what kind of mushrooms Ji Pingan could pick up.

Ji Pingan carried a pannier on his back, took a sickle and scissors and went up the back mountain.When going up the mountain before, Ji Ping'an was only accompanied by Huzi.It's different now, he feels like he's taking care of his family, and his confidence and fun have doubled.

Not long after going up the mountain, Ji Pingan saw a clump of yellow-brown mushrooms growing on a tree stump with sharp eyes: "Look! It's grown!"

Xiaobai and Xiaohuang looked at each other, good guy, there really is one!

Ji Pingan walked to the tree stump in two steps in three steps. There was a gap in the tree stump, and the mushrooms poked their heads through the gap.The maximum diameter of the mushroom cap is one inch, and the small one is bigger than Ji Pingan's fingernail.Under the canopy is a long yellow-brown fungus. They are clean and look very cute.

At this moment, you can understand how wise it is for Ji Pingan to bring a pair of scissors. He gently pinched the lids of the mushrooms, and the scissors reached under the umbrella cover.With a light scissors, a few mushrooms left the group, and they lay tenderly in Ji Ping'an's palm.

At this time, the whole picture of this mushroom can be seen clearly. Their canopies are round and curved downwards. The color on the top of the canopy is like the color of sugar fried by Ji Pingan, and there are beautiful folds on the bottom of the canopy.

The slender fungus has four inches long and two inches short, and the color changes from light to dark from top to bottom.Regardless of the color or shape, this mushroom gives people a very safe feeling.

Ji Pingan showed Xiaobai and the others the mushrooms in their hands: "Look! Flammulina velutipes! This mushroom is delicious no matter it is fried or stewed."

The corner of Xiao Huang's mouth is already drooling: "Stew soup..."

Ji Pingan smiled, and he put the mushrooms at the bottom of the basket: "Yes, I will use them to stew chicken soup when I get home."

Xiaobai has already entered the state of picking mushrooms. He carefully cut all the beautiful mushrooms in the tree hole and put them in the basket: "Is this the mushroom we are looking for?"

Ji Pingan said: "There are many more besides this, you will find out when you come with me."

After a while, Ji Pingan saw another kind of mushroom. This kind of mushroom has no fungus, and they grow directly on the tree trunk in clusters like yellow fans. At first glance, it looks like there are small ears growing out of the tree trunk. .

Ji Pingan carefully picked these mushrooms from the tree trunk: "Our locals call them umbrella mushrooms, and some people call them winter mushrooms. The stewed soup is very fresh after drying! You have to pay attention when you pick them. insect."

Xiao Bai responded, and he raised his hand to grab the mushroom that Ji Pingan couldn't pick.The one that Xiaobai picked is extra big, like a big ear, but this mushroom is a bit old, and part of the canopy has turned black.

Ji Pingan smiled and said, "You don't need to pick the ones like this. Let's pick the fresh ones. Let's keep the ones that are too old or too young."

At this time, Xiao Huang cried happily: "I found a lot of mushrooms!"

Ji Pingan followed the sound and saw a rotten tree lying in front of Xiao Huang, with many black fungus stuck to it.Xiao Huang had eaten fungus at Ji Ping'an's house: "This is edible!"

Ji Pingan touched Xiao Huang's head: "It's best not to pick the fungus on it."

Xiaobai asked incomprehension: "Aren't these all fungus? We have eaten them before, why can't we pick them?"

Ji Pingan explained: "This tree is a bit poisonous, and the fungus growing on it is likely to be poisoned. It's better to be cautious."

The forest is so big, and there are so many mushrooms that can be eaten, there is no need to take risks for a few uncertain mushrooms.

The three of them worked together to pick mushrooms much faster. With Ji Ping'an's guidance, the mushrooms they picked were all fresh and tender.These mushrooms were placed separately according to the species, among which the number of the first type of mushrooms was the largest, and most of the boxes were picked in a short time.

Just as Xiaobai and the others were picking it vigorously, He Lang's voice came from the bottom of the mountain: "Ping An—where are you—"

Ji Pingan's face turned cold: "I'm on the mountain—"

He Lang roared: "Come back soon! Something big happened!"

Ji Pingan hurried down the mountain, only to see He Lang running out of breath: "Why do you still have the heart to pick mushrooms! Come on, come with me to Qiancun!"

Ji Ping'an was confused: "What's going on? What happened?"

He Lang pulled Ji Pingan and ran towards Qiancun: "The demon cultivator is here!"

Ji Pingan:? ? ?

The demon cultivator should run when he comes, but shouldn't he run into the old forest?Why run to Qiancun?Think you didn't die fast enough?

He Lang said: "The Demon Emperor's people are counting who's house collapsed, and whose family was injured or injured because of their fight. If it is confirmed that it is true, the demon cultivator will pay compensation!"

Ji Pingan was stunned: "You mean... the Demon Emperor and the others are compensating everyone? Is the news reliable?"

He Lang said anxiously: "It's true, starting from Pingqiao Town, several towns affected by the disaster have been compensated! Today is finally our turn in Qingshuiwan! Hurry up! I heard that there is a lot of compensation."

It would be a lie to say that he is not tempted, Ji Ping'an has two more people in his family, and the cost of food and clothing has increased a lot compared to when he was alone.But he always had an unreal feeling, how could the Demon Emperor compensate them?

Ji Pingan is not a child who is ignorant of the world, his grandmother is a demon cultivator, and he knows that high-level demon cultivators will not look down on ordinary people.Not to mention that the house collapsed, even if thousands of ordinary people died in front of the demon cultivators, they would not be shaken.

What's more, the Yu Clan and the Beast Clan have been fighting for a long time, and there have been cases where humans were involved.But I've never heard that the Demon Emperor has compensated human beings, and those people or demon cultivators who have been affected are all groping their noses and forbearance.

As soon as Ji Pingan left, Xiaobai and Xiaohuang naturally followed his footsteps, but within two steps, Xiaobai suddenly turned into a little white cat.Ji Pingan felt the aura fluctuating around him, and when he looked back, he saw Xiaobai walking out from behind the basket.

Ji Pingan didn't understand what Xiaobai meant. Xiaobai wanted to go with him, but he was afraid that the people in the former village would gossip, so he turned into a little white cat.

Ji Pingan put the basket on the side of the road, holding Xiao Huang in one hand and Xiao Bai in the other.He Lang felt helpless when he saw Fa Xiao like this: "When is it? You are still mother-in-law. You can't lose your two spirit beasts! But if you go late, you will be in trouble if the demon cultivator leaves!"

Ji Ping'an's heart warmed up, how could he not understand He Lang's intentions, He Lang was the only one who sincerely helped him in Qingshui Bay.He lived in Houcun, and the news often lagged behind, but strictly speaking, he was also from Qingshuiwan.If there is something good in the village, He Lang always runs to inform him regardless of himself.

After running a few steps, Ji Pingan saw a black shadow appearing on the mountain road in front of him. The black shadow was extremely fast, and it killed Ji Pingan and He Lang in the blink of an eye.After the black shadow stopped, a demon cultivator wearing a black Taoist robe and carrying a long bow appeared in front of the two of them.

Ji Pingan took a closer look and was startled. Isn't this the person-seeking demon cultivator I saw in Pingqiao Town two days ago?How did he come here?

The unique coercion of the high-level demon cultivator made He Lang's footsteps weak, and he almost knelt when his legs softened.Ji Ping'an quickly helped He Lang, He Lang swayed and finally stabilized, Ji Pingan could feel him trembling.

The demon cultivator saluted Ji Ping'an: "..."

Ji Pingan returned a salute, then looked nervously at the demon cultivator.

Wolf Thirteen felt bitter, he was silenced by His Majesty just as he wanted to see him.His Majesty's voice came from his mind: "Don't reveal my identity in front of them."

Wolf Thirteen understood that His Majesty must have been rescued after being injured, and he came up with this method because he wanted to repay the human beings without being dependent on them.Wolf Thirteen cleared his throat: "I am the next wolf thirteen, and I am the servant of the Demon Emperor Wumo. I heard that the Demon God destroyed Mr. Ji's house during the sparring. I am ordered by the Demon Emperor to come and repair the house for Mr. Ji."

Ji Pingan:! ! !Pie in the sky!

Seeing Ji Ping'an's surprised face, Wolf Thirteen added, "If Mister doesn't want to repair the house, you can also turn it into gold and silver for Mister."

Ji Pingan blurted out without hesitation: "Please help the fairy to repair the house!"

Xiaobai squinted his eyes, and stared at Wolf Shisan displeased, even a wolf like Shisan could make Pingan call him a fairy? !

Wolf Shisan felt even more bitter, he scratched his head.Did he do something wrong or say something wrong?Why is His Majesty staring at him?

Also, why is the aura of another fat bird in Ji Ping'an's arms so familiar?

The author has something to say:

Wolf Thirteen: The aura of this bird is somewhat familiar.

Xiao Huang: I am your father.

The safe house is almost in place~ Xiaobai has to cover his vest!

I went to have my teeth filled today. I thought I only needed to fill seven teeth, but ended up filling nine teeth. The doctor charged me for eight teeth.My gums hurt and my teeth hurt. I thought that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. I made an appointment to have my wisdom teeth pulled on Tuesday.If there is no accident, there should be no more than four wisdom teeth, right?
