I open a restaurant in Xiujie

The gap in the sky lasted for about a stick of incense.

Immediately, Yu Xiaotan saw an invisible force squeezing it, like a hand twisting forcefully with blue tendons, forcibly closing the crack.So the sky returned to its blue appearance, only the twisted clouds drifted around.

Then, a few hours later, under the gust of wind, the white clouds also turned into chaotic condensed flocs again, and the whole world returned to peace, and no clues could be seen anymore.

Yu Xiaotan has been sitting in the yard observing all this. He raised his head for too long, his neck was slightly sour, and he had to stand up and move around a few times: "Old Qing, do you know what's going on?"

The man in Tsing Yi said angrily, "My surname is not Qing."

"Good old Qing," Yu Xiaotan said, "Since it is in the direction of Tianzhou, something must have happened in Tianzhou. You have been in Tianzhou for so long, and you haven't heard anything?"

"...No." The man in Tsing Yi frowned tightly, "I have never seen such a situation, but judging from the breath just now, it seems..."

His voice became lower and lower, gradually dissipating in the wind, and he seemed to be falling into deep doubts.After a long time, under Yu Xiaotan's increasingly solemn gaze, the man in Tsing Yi sighed, his eyes dimmed.

Under the cover of the green sleeves, his hands were trembling slightly.

"I sensed... the aura of the chef fairy."

Yu Xiaotan was stunned for a moment.

It was as if the wind across the mountains and rivers was blowing head-on, carrying the unique heavy breath of the long river of history, the character who only belonged to stories and legends suddenly had substance, looking back in the invisible void.

Alone, but not alone.

"I remember you said before that those who died, their will has not dissipated, and they are still fighting against the law of heaven in the broken law of Tianzhou."

Yu Xiaotan murmured in a low voice: "Could that crack just now be the result of their struggle?"

"Indeed, there is such a possibility."

A deep voice came from behind, Yu Xiaotan turned around and saw Uncle Wang walking slowly.

Today's Uncle Wang has thrown away his crutches. Although the center of gravity of his steps still shifts to the left, he can't see any serious obstacles when he walks, and his steps are solid. The unique vigor of the mountains.

That outgoing energy seems to be a special kind of dao rhyme.

Walking to Yu Xiaotan's side, Uncle Wang patted the young man on the shoulder, and a kind smile appeared on the vicissitudes of his face: "Okay, young master, don't worry too much. The people who are there today were once our partners, we trust They are just like you trust Brother Ji."

"Leave them the matter of killing the will of heaven. If one day you really need to appear on the stage, there will be more obvious omens. Take advantage of this opportunity, young master, why not seize the opportunity and improve yourself quickly."

As he said that, he glanced at the Taoist booklet that the man in Tsing Yi was holding in his hand, and stroked his beard: "For example, this thunder rhyme, I think it's not bad. Master, if you teach one, you're also teaching, and if you teach two, you're also teaching." Why don't you let me learn too?"

This ability to change the subject really made Yu Xiaotan dumbfounded.

Is Lei Ting Dao really so good that even the man in Tsing Yi and Uncle Wang eagerly want to learn it?

"Then let's all learn it," Yu Xiaotan said, "Teaching two is also teaching, teaching a group is also teaching...Isn't it, Brother Ji?"

Standing not far away, Ji Chuchen smiled at him and gestured "Leave it all to me".

Then the young man's gaze swept away, and fell on Bai Junda who was wolfing down the dinner plate.

Just now, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was attracted by the cracks in the sky, Bai Junda secretly added another dish to himself, and at the moment he was shrinking his head, hiding aside and eating.

It wasn't until he was stared at by sharp arrow-like eyes that he raised his head in a daze, with half a piece of meat dangling from his mouth: "...ha, what do you want to learn?"

"It's special training, Xiaobai."

Yu Xiaotan also smiled at him, his friendly smile was exactly the same as Ji Chuchen's, but the smiles of the two fell into Bai Junda's eyes, but inexplicably made his shoulders stiffen and his whole back trembled.

"This time it's not a one-on-one special training for you, but you and the children are learning at the same time." Yu Xiaotan tilted his head leisurely, "How about Xiaobai, do you have the confidence not to be thrown away by the children?"

Bai Junda: "..."

He shivered, his teeth chattered, and half of the meat in his mouth was bitten off and fell onto the dinner plate.

……

It was Yu Xiaotan's whim to teach the Thunder Taoism to the children.He just thought that since it was something that Uncle Wang and the people in Tsing Yi wanted to learn, it was naturally a good thing, and since it was a good thing, the children couldn't be left behind.

Even he himself doesn't know how miraculous changes the sudden decision made at this moment will bring to the entire Qixia world in the future.

After all, it is a practice born out of the way of heaven, and it incorporates the will of freedom and equality that Ji Chuchen learned from Yu Xiaotan. The children who accept this idea become its most suitable practitioners, and it will not be too long. Transform the world from the inside out in the short time.

It’s just that it’s still too far to say these things now. Yu Xiaotan asked Ji Chuchen to design more mechanisms in the yard to meet the needs of Bai Junda and others for practice. He also analyzed and shared his practice in detail Comprehension, and this itself is the best way to review and improve.

As time goes by, everyone is making rapid progress in the small courtyard like a peach blossom garden.

The sky rift appeared for the second time, two months later.

At that time, the weather had completely cooled down, the silver snow was fluttering, and the cold color was blue.

As the Chinese New Year approached, Yu Xiaotan hung a few lanterns in the yard.Xiao Huo stuffed her own lamps into the lanterns, and when the night came, they would light up on time, bright red and joyful, one by one under the eaves swaying gently with the wind, red lights swaying, sparks flying like stars scattered in the sky.

The children were lying on the window sill, poking their heads out to look at the lanterns under the eaves, and raising their hands from time to time to touch the orange-yellow fringed tassels hanging under the lanterns.

They are all people who grew up rolling in the mud when they were young. This kind of beauty has only been read in the mouths of the adults or in the story books in the school dormitory. His palm-sized face was flushed by the light, his pink cheeks were also flushed, and the beautiful eyes were shining with joy.

In the kitchen, Yu Xiaotan was making dumplings in a big pot.

The hot water in the pot was tumbling, and the crystal clear dumplings rolled with the water waves, like silver ingots shining brightly one by one.Yu Xiaotan stirred it with a spoon to avoid sticking to the pot, immediately put the lid on the pot, and waved to Bai Junda who was waiting eagerly: "It will take a while, don't worry."

Bai Junda's mouth was about to flow down, and he stared at the cauldron with burning eyes: "It's already cooked, it's already floating! Come on, give me the first pot—"

"It's early." Yu Xiaotan looked at the boiling white foam in the pot, and poured half a bowl of cold water into it, "To cook dumplings, you need to add water three times and boil three times. First, the dumplings cooked in this way have the best taste and firmness, and second It can prevent the dumplings from sticking and ensure the integrity of the appearance.”

Bai Junda just stared at the dumpling, didn't listen to a word, and responded casually: "Okay, yes, yes. By the way, Yu Xiaotan, what kind of stuffing do you have in your dumplings?"

Yu Xiaotan: "..."

"The first pot is stuffed with green peppers and onions," he said angrily, "there are also stuffed potatoes and coriander eggs, which one do you want?"

Bai Junda was stunned: "???"

Bai Junda imagined the dumplings with the above kinds of fillings, and immediately felt a chill, and when he looked at the fragrant dumplings in the pot, he immediately felt that they were not delicious: "No, Yu Xiaotan, it's the Chinese New Year, you just make this thing For the children?"

"Why, don't you trust my craftsmanship?"

Yu Xiaotan added water to the pot for the last time, and turned around with a little devil's smile: "Even if it's this kind of dark cooking dumplings, I can still make a taste that you can't stop, believe it or not?"

Bai Junda, who was staring at him, shivered immediately.

Yu Xiaotan shook his head with a smile: "...Okay, I won't scare you, the first pot is Sanxian dumplings."

Hearing this, Bai Junda came back to life with full blood: "San Xian Xian or San Xian Meat?"

"Both." Yu Xiaotan replied.

It is said to be three delicacies, but in fact there are more than three kinds of fillings in it.Yu Xiaotan chopped the pork into fine pieces, then added soaked diced shiitake mushrooms, fresh shrimps, a little fungus, eggs and leeks. Although there were a lot of ingredients, they could be perfectly blended together.

Bai Junda snatched half a plate of dumplings from the first pot with the posture of "going all out and shameless".

The dumplings just out of the pan were very hot and steaming, but he couldn't wait, and hurriedly put them into his mouth—the tender and soft dumpling skins could be broken by blowing, and the moment he bit open, a burst of sweet soup flowed into his mouth. Throat, instantly filled the whole mouth with delicious breath.

"Hiss—" Bai Junda covered his burnt lips, baring his teeth while inhaling, "It's delicious, it's delicious!"

The mellowness of pork, the freshness of shiitake mushrooms, the fungus and eggs as a conciliator, together form a concerto full of mountain flavors.

Shrimp is a lively note on the music score. Yu Xiaotan deliberately did not chop the shrimp, so when each dumpling is in the mouth, you can chew the elastic shrimp. The white and tender shrimp bounces between the teeth, and the sweet juice becomes more chewy thick.

Yu Xiaotan scooped up more dumplings on the dinner plate, turned around and said, "Okay, just taste it."

Dumplings, of course, must be eaten together for the best taste.

When the meal was served that day, every child in the school was given a plate of steaming dumplings.

Yu Xiaotan's hands are extremely dexterous, and after the dumplings are out of the pan, they still maintain the delicate appearance when they were just wrapped. The fine lace is layered on top of each other, casting a layer of translucent light under the light.

Or three delicacies, or pork cabbage, or leek shrimp, are the most common filling styles.After all the fillings were used up, Yu Xiaotan looked at the remaining dumpling wrappers and made some tomato and egg fillings. Just dig out the flesh of the tomatoes when dicing, and add a small amount of sugar. The cooked dumplings are still the same. Delicious and eye-catching.

The children were eating hot dumplings and looking at the flaming red lanterns hanging high, their young hearts seemed to be filled with something warm again.

It is the breath of home.

So vivid, so intoxicating.

In their short lives, they never dared to dream extravagantly, but now they are so lucky to have a dream.

This moment of time is enough to be engraved in the deepest part of their minds, even if time passes and the years impact, it will never fade.
