I open a restaurant in Xiujie

Dinner in the school is snake meat soup.

Snake meat is cut into small pieces, but still maintains its original shape. When the pot is lifted, it forms a shiny ball. After stewing for a long time, the tender meat is slightly turned out. It is an attractive pinkish white, trembling in the slightly boiling milky white soup. , exuding an indescribable fresh fragrance.

There is more than snake meat in the pot.

Yu Xiaotan added some chicken and duck shreds, black fungus and mushrooms were also cut into thin shreds, and sprinkled on the soup surface, they were still floating after cooking, which was a very eye-catching foil. The boiled shredded ginger and tangerine peel The silk settled at the bottom of the soup, floating like a fish swimming under the river bed.

The children who had just finished two classes waited anxiously with their bowls in their hands, until the thin slurry-like soup was scooped up into the porcelain bowl with a large spoon, and large pieces of tender snakes fell down.

Ginger and tangerine peel remove the fishy smell, and a lot of prepared raw powder is added to the soup. The powerful power contained in the snake meat is transformed into a viscous spiritual power that is substantive, and it is delicately blended into the soup. The aggressive, mellow umami taste invades the taste buds and overflows the chest cavity.

Regardless of the steaming hot soup, the children sucked hard while exhaling "Sisi". After a few mouthfuls, all the coldness of autumn was expelled from the body.

The man in Tsing Yi held the soup, but didn't drink it yet, just shook his head and sighed.

"Yu Xiaotan, Yu Xiaotan, if you give them such delicious food now, how will they live in the next few decades or hundreds of years?"

He pointed at the hungry children and sighed: "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When they get used to the food you cook, the food next to them may be completely unpalatable."

"Don't you put a hat on me here."

Yu Xiaotan served the last few bowls of soup, and covered the steaming pot with a lid: "You have eaten so many meals from the chef, and you still eat out everywhere in Qixia world?"

"There is a saying in our hometown, "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today". If you don't enjoy the good things now, do you have to wait until later to regret it?"

After a pause, Yu Xiaotan said in a low voice again: "And...they had a hard life before, so I feel at ease by treating them better."

The man in Tsing Yi was silent for a moment, and then lowered his voice: "Aren't you afraid that your life is too extravagant and you will spoil them?"

"That's why you need to teach Mr. Xi, you should cultivate virtue first." Yu Xiaotan snarled at the children in the yard, "Look at them, they seem to be spoiled."

The man in Tsing Yi followed his gaze, and what he saw was the glow of the courtyard.

The reddish colored lights cast a rosy glow on the children's immature cheeks. After Yu Xiaotan's recuperation for several days, the children's bodies are still thin, but they are no longer the skinny and frail feeling they were before, and they are full of energy , full of vigor and vitality.

His eyes also changed.

There is a light aura in the pupils, the black eyes are flickering, and the expression is agile. While eating dinner, talking and laughing with friends, all the eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the smile is so sweet that it makes people feel heart-warming.

...But it seems that it hasn't changed completely.

The action of drinking the soup was careful and serious, and he drank the last drop from the porcelain bowl carefully. The people in Tsing Yi heard the children's conversations with their sharp ears.

Although these children are young, they have all been tempered by the hard times of the world, and the tenacity in their bones has long been formed. Now, Yu Xiaotan has broadened their horizons, they can read and write, and their reading principles are different from those of Confucian scholars who are full of acid. ——What they thought, talked about, and conceived, all started from the perspective of the bitter cold people, combined with the new thinking taught by Yu Xiaotan, who left the Qixia world behind, and fell into the eyes of the people in Tsing Yi. They all faintly reveal a bit of the shadow of a chef.

...It's just that they lack a bit of experience, and their ideas are racing against each other.

Yu Xiaotan was relieved to see it: "It's a good thing to have ideas."

Dare to think when I was young, and dare to fight when I grow up.

The man in Tsing Yi thought for a moment, and he agreed somewhat in his heart, but he still said: "It's full of nonsense."

"You are the one who is full of alarmist talk." Yu Xiaotan said angrily, "Didn't you see so many bowls, at least come here and help me."

The man in Tsing Yi said with a dignified tone: "No, no, I'm teaching Mr. Xi, I don't do these chores."

He tilted his head, looked out the door, and muttered: "Where's the boy from the Bai family, didn't you arrange for him to be a life committee member?"

Yu Xiaotan was also puzzled.

In the past, Bai Junda was like a smart radar, he could smell the smell of rice and quickly appear in any corner of the restaurant, and he was quicker than a rabbit to grab the food. return.

Forget it, leave him alone.

Holding the last two bowls of soup, Yu Xiaotan turned and entered the school.

In the wooden house where a class just ended, Ji Chuchen was leaning against the wall, flipping through the "textbooks" that the children put aside.

He is tall and handsome, and when he leans casually by the window, his black hair hangs down on his shoulders. The afterglow like running water is reflected from the window lattice, lightly dyed with a golden glaze color, even the long and thick eyelashes are dyed Glazed to an easy-to-pigment light shade.

Yu Xiaotan glanced up and couldn't help feeling happy.

He subconsciously lowered his footsteps, but Ji Chuchen's hearing was so sensitive. As soon as Yu Xiaotan stepped into the room, the young man in white had already put down the slightly rolled book, raised his eyes and smiled at Yu Xiaotan.

"You wrote all these books?"

Ji Chuchen raised the book in Yu Xiaotan's hand, his eyes flickered, and he repeatedly praised: "It's amazing."

"Xiaotan, the Yunhai Sect has tens of thousands of books. I have read most of them, but to be honest, none of them can compare to what you have written."

Although it does not involve practice, the writing seems to imply the principle of heaven and earth.

That indistinct thing is above the practice, it is the magnificence and pride that encompasses the whole world in the field of vision.

Yu Xiaotan made him blush, and said a little shyly: "Where did I write this, at most I am a porter, standing on the shoulders of giants."

...And he, the porter, is still half-baked, and the things in the book were memorized by Yu Xiaotan and changed into pieces.

Seeing Ji Chuchen's fascinated flipping through the books, Yu Xiaotan suddenly felt a little regretful - why didn't he memorize the texts more proficiently back then?

Had he known that there would be such a day of time travel, he must have memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang Poetry and Song Ci by heart.

"Okay, brother Ji, don't look at it, let's eat first."

Yu Xiaotan handed over the soup and took the opportunity to grab the book in Ji Chuchen's hand.

He lifted the white porcelain lid on the snake soup as if offering a treasure, and the rich aroma immediately permeated the air. A flat boat on the river.

"How about a taste?" Yu Xiaotan was in high spirits, "I added your 'gift' into it, the only one."

Hearing this, Ji Chuchen raised his eyebrows slightly.

He carefully scooped up a piece of snake meat with a soup spoon, his eyes drooped slightly, and he saw the soup rippling, and a hint of light purple faintly leaking out from under the black snake skin, like thunder, flashing by.

Ji Chuchen was surprised: "Can it still be like this?"

It was said to be a gift, but in fact what he brought to Yu Xiaotan was a kind of Taoism, or in other words, a kind of cultivation method.

That was summed up by him from the thousands of volumes of Taoism, and he tried to take advantage of the breakthrough of the disciples in the sect to set up a large formation, and secretly intercepted a short period of thunder calamity - the specific process was very thrilling, and he almost killed himself ——But fortunately, Ji Chuchen was extremely talented and blessed with great luck, and finally succeeded without any danger.

Based on this small piece of thunder, Ji Chuchen dismantled it and resolved it—during which he experienced many times of near-death dangers—but in the end, he was allowed to integrate this power into a way that could barely be cultivated. Law, as a gift to Yu Xiaotan.

Although I don't know if it is useful, but this power is integrated in Yu Xiaotan's body. If he really encounters punishment from heaven in the future, Ji Chuchen hopes that it can protect Yu Xiaotan.

...At least at the beginning, he studied the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder with this purpose in mind.

Unexpectedly, after this method fell into Yu Xiaotan's hands, it became a method for him to cook dishes in just half a day.

Ji Chuchen looked a little more serious.

If so, wouldn't he absorb a short period of thunder calamity in a disguised form when he drank this bowl of snake soup?

He stared at it for a moment, then slowly put the soup spoon into his mouth, the mellow and delicious meaty aroma immediately filled his mouth, and there was a slight tingling sensation coming from the tip of his tongue, which didn't hurt, but just brought more vivid stimulation to the taste buds.

As if a switch was activated in an instant, the nerve endings all over the lips and tongue were excited, and the deliciousness of the soup multiplied several times in an instant.

"hiss……"

Ji Chuchen was absent-minded for a moment, and subconsciously pursed her lower lip.

He has eaten many delicacies cooked by Yu Xiaotan, and his threshold for delicacies has gradually increased, but now he seems to have returned to the day when he first came to the restaurant. The delicious potato and chicken soup was imported, and the strange new world opened to him. The excitement that almost turned the definition of food upside down rushed to the chest again, ran down the throat, and even the scalp was numb.

too delicious!

He never expected that the method he had figured out to adapt to the thunder disaster and fight against the way of heaven fell into Yu Xiaotan's hands, and it would be able to add such a critical delicacy to food?

Seeing Ji Chuchen's expression of surprise and disbelief, Yu Xiaotan was even more excited.

Just now after the snake soup came out of the pot, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he tried to add the Thunder Taoism that Ji Chuchen taught him to the soup, but he was so shocked when he tasted it, that he almost dropped the spoon in his hand on the ground .

"It's a pity that my understanding of this Taoism is not deep enough now, so I can only condense this little bit."

Yu Xiaotan propped his chin, and pointed to the white porcelain bowl in Xia Ji Chuchen's hand with his left hand.

A little bit of thunder power fell into this small bowl, and the stimulation was very clear, but if it was blended into the big pot of soup that was distributed to the children just now, it seemed a bit unsatisfactory.

It's okay, there's no rush.

Wait for him to practice more, and then invite everyone to taste the new food together in the future.

The sky is high and the air is crisp, the wind is gentle, and the mellow aroma of snake soup is wafting in the air. Yu Xiaotan sits on one side, watching Ji Chuchen stir slowly with a spoon in his hand. The sense of satisfaction that the years are quiet.

It's a pity that it didn't take long before the picturesque and beautiful atmosphere was disrupted by a series of yells. Bai Junda ran from outside angrily and went straight to the house, yelling: "Yu Xiaotan! Here we come again!" Come on, someone is spreading rumors outside, ruining the reputation of our restaurant!"
