Chapter 346: Lend me your body
Chapter 346: Lend me your body
"Master Nangong, do you mind if we dig some more lotus roots?"
When Li Heng asked Nangong Ya, he had already started to roll up his sleeves and roll up his trouser legs.
"Dig it! Dig it!"
Nangong Ya waved her hand and replied nonchalantly.
She was still immersed in the sadness of losing her ducks and fishes, so she couldn't care less about the lotus roots.
After getting approval from the owner of the lotus pond, Li Heng first tested the water level and found that it was not very high.
With a "dong" sound, he jumped into the lotus pond, bent down, and touched down a lotus leaf.
In a few clicks, I dug out a lotus root that was about the thickness of my forearm and covered in mud.
"Hey~ Junior brother, this thing looks dirty. Do you really want to cook with it?"
Seeing the dark mud on the lotus roots, Su Lingxuan resisted from the bottom of her heart.
"What are you afraid of? Just wash it and it will be clean."
Li Heng took the lotus root and rinsed it in the pond water, finally revealing its original appearance of being white and plump.
In order to prove to everyone in the pavilion that he was not kidding, lotus root is really an ingredient.
Li Heng selected a tender lotus root sprout, broke it gently, rinsed it with clean water, threw it directly into his mouth, and ate it raw.
"Kacha ~ Kacha ~"
Plenty of water and slightly sweet in the mouth.
Li Heng immediately decided that he would ask Nangong Ya for some lotus seeds later, and he would plant some on Xiaochu Peak later.
"How's it going? I didn't lie to you! Does anyone want to try it?"
After swallowing the lotus root sprouts in his mouth, Li Heng raised the lotus root in his hand and asked.
"I me me!"
The most active and supportive ones are always the two little ones. They eat whatever is dirty or not.
"Here, pick out the tender parts and save the rest for cooking, if there's any left."
Throwing the cleaned lotus roots to the two little ones, Li Heng teased Su Lingxuan: "Senior sister, are you really not going to eat some? You are someone who has eaten pig intestines. This is not much cleaner than the intestines!"
"You, why did you mention that thing again!"
When Su Lingxuan heard this, she immediately remembered the last time she had hot pot, when she ate a piece of fat sausage without knowing it.
At that time, she thought it was delicious, but after asking Li Heng, she couldn't eat it anymore.
Even thinking about it now, I still feel a little queasy.
"Ugh~"
Su Lingxuan covered her mouth and retched several times before she felt better.
At this moment, she wanted to rush over and kick her junior brother away, but she was afraid of getting her clothes dirty, so she gave up.
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
Su Lingxuan glared at Li Heng angrily. If eyes could kill, Li Heng would probably have turned into ashes by now.
After everyone had tasted the fresh lotus roots, Li Heng mobilized them to dig lotus roots with him in the lotus pond.
The two little ones were sent by Li Heng to play with the ducks.
As for the fish in the lotus pond, Li Heng decided to let them live for one more night and make arrangements for them tomorrow.
Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the pavilion again to count today's harvest.
First there were two little ones with messy hair and wet clothes. Each of them was holding a big goose in both hands, and there were two more under their armpits.
"Hee hee! Brother Li Heng, are these enough to eat? If not, Xiao Chi and I will catch a few more."
The two little ones first threw the unconscious duck in front of Li Heng, then wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their dirty little hands and asked.
"That's enough, that's enough! It's been really hard on you two."
"Go wash up quickly and get the mud off your body. I will reward each of you with a roast duck later."
Li Heng accepted the two little geese, patted their heads, and promised.
"Really? Brother Li Heng, I don't study well, you can't lie to me!"
Originally they just wanted to do a simple favor, but they didn't expect there would be additional rewards. This made the two little ones very happy, and they excitedly confirmed to Li Heng again.
"Really, more real than pearls! Go quickly!"
After sending away the two little ones and holding two new ingredients, Li Heng urgently needed a kitchen to display his cooking skills.
"Master Nangong, where is the kitchen? I think it's time to start preparing dinner."
"Kitchen? Let me think about it!"
Nangong Ya couldn't remember the last time she heard the word 'kitchen', let alone the location of her kitchen.
"Well, come to think of it, my sect leader's mansion doesn't seem to have a kitchen!"
Nangong Ya said apologetically that the only place in Miaoyin Sect that still has a kitchen is probably where the outer disciples live.
But she didn't want to reveal Li Heng's existence to other disciples too early, at least she had to wait until she was satisfied.
"Brother Li Heng, do you think it's too late for me to find someone to build a kitchen now?"
"No need to go to so much trouble. Just find me a spacious and breathable room. If you don't have one, just find an open space."
Li Heng probably guessed what Nangong Ya was thinking. Fortunately, he had a movable stove, so he wasn't very picky about the place.
In the past few days from Tiandao Sect to Miaoyin Sect, he had long been used to cooking without cooking outdoors.
"There are plenty of empty rooms, I'll take you to pick one right now."
I don’t know if she was worried that Li Heng would regret it, but Nangong Ya pulled him and left the pavilion in a hurry.
It didn't take much trouble to find a suitable empty room.
Now that we have the kitchen, it’s up to Li Heng to see how he performs.
Li Heng had already decided that duck would be the main meat dish for dinner, so he planned to make a crispy roast duck first.
"I'm sorry, Brother Duck, I want to lend you your body."
Taking out the awakened duck from his beast bag, Li Heng said the cruelest words in the most polite tone.
"Gah~gah~"
Perhaps having a premonition of the impending fate, the duck kept struggling in Li Heng's hands.
"Be good! Don't make trouble! I promise to kill you with one knife and won't cause you any pain."
Li Heng comforted the duck and said, it is none of his business whether the other party understands or not.
To be honest, he has never killed a duck, but there is a first time for everything. Killing this thing is much easier than killing people.
While Li Heng was holding the kitchen knife, he also wanted to cheer himself up.
When he found the right angle and was about to strike, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life on Earth, he would fill ducks with high-alcohol liquor before watching others kill ducks.
I heard people say that doing this can promote blood circulation in the duck's body, expand the pores all over its body, facilitate hair plucking, and improve the taste of duck meat.
In addition, making the duck drunk will reduce its struggle, making the operation and bloodletting process smoother.
Thinking of this, Li Heng took out a bottle of distilled liquor from the ring and decided to give it a try.
"Oh~ It's only because I am such a kind cook that I care about the feeling of the ingredients. You are lucky to have met me!"
Li Heng held the duck's mouth and poured wine into it, while shaking his head and saying movedly.
Duck: "Quack~ (You bitch, I'm giving this kindness to you, do you want it?...)"
"Um, brother Li Heng, it seems to be scolding you!"
Xiao Chi pointed at the duck who was still struggling and said.
"It seems that the scolding was quite unpleasant."
Lu Xiaoxiao also added.
