027, [Fireworks]
Outside the small study, Lu Xun stood there, not knowing where to find food for a moment.
The back mountain is very big, but there are only a few people living there, and Lu Xun is the only one who needs to eat three meals a day, no different from the outer disciples.
There is a canteen where the outer disciples live, but Lu Xun can't go over the mountains and ridges every day just to have enough food, right?
What's more, his cooking skills are not bad, just give him the ingredients, he loves to cook by himself.
In his previous life, he and his sister Lu Yu depended on each other for life, and he usually cooked.
When he was working and studying, he went to the back kitchen of a restaurant to help out and learned a lot.
Later, the chef saw that Lu Xun had a good talent in cooking, and when he was in a good mood, he would let him watch by the side, and taught him a few dishes.
This chef had a bad face, and everyone in the back kitchen was afraid of him. He disliked Lu Xun the most and scolded Lu Xun the most times.
Often when others had finished their work, he would keep Lu Xun and criticize him alone, pointing out the things he did not do well, and then before leaving, he would throw him a thermos box with a cold face, which was full of warm food.
His sister Lu Yu especially loved the dishes made by the chef, and every time Lu Xun brought back the thermos box, she was very happy to eat it.
Lu Xun always regarded this chef as a half-master.
"Gurgle gurgle." The still growling stomach brought Lu Xun's thoughts back to reality.
After thinking for a while, he knocked on Mao Nanbei's door and asked her if there were any ingredients in the back mountain.
As a person, the most important thing is to be sweet-mouthed and black-hearted. Under Lu Xun's constant "Fourth Senior Sister", Mao Nanbei was fooled by him to go catch game together.
In Mao Nanbei's eyes, she was a kind senior sister.
In the eyes of the dog, she became the royal hunting cat.
In the end, Mao Nanbei caught two fish and a pheasant.
There are actually quite a few living creatures in the back mountain, but except for the group of fireflies flying around at night, other animals tacitly don't get too close to the small study on the top of the mountain, and no one knows why.
After bringing the two live fish and pheasants back to the small study, Lu Xun began to cook.
Fortunately, there was nothing missing in the kitchen. According to Mao Nanbei, it was because the third brother liked to cook, but the food he made was particularly unpalatable, and he always invited others to taste the food.
"Is there any wine?" Lu Xun asked, looking at the two fish.
The fish caught in the stream is considered river fish, with a bit of earthy smell. It will taste much better with ginger and wine, but there is no wine in the kitchen.
"There must be some in the third brother's room, I'll go steal some." Mao Nanbei went there in a hurry.
She had no interest in cooking at first, but Lu Xun described it as too delicious and tempting.
The wording and sentence structure are very vivid. As she listened to his words, she actually felt that she had tasted the flavor!
Her mouth was watering, slurp!
Not long after, Mao Nanbei jumped out of the window holding a small wine jar.
Children don't like to go through the front door, not to mention that she is a kitten who always likes to jump around the window.
"Is it okay to take it directly like this?" Lu Xun asked.
"It's okay. Third Senior Brother has a very good temper. He said that I can play with the small things in his room. And he has a bad memory. He may not even know how many jars of wine he has in his room."
"Isn't that some fairy wine?" Lu Xun asked. He really didn't dare to use it for a while.
Some fairy wines brewed with precious materials are very tonic. With his current cultivation, tasting them randomly may make him "unable to be nourished".
Mao Nanbei opened the wine jar skillfully and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother is very poor, and these are just the most ordinary wines."
For some reason, after Mao Nanbei's description, although Lu Xun had never seen Third Brother, he already had a general image of his character: good temper, poor cooking skills, poor memory, and very poor.
But I always feel that something is strange. The Third Brother of the Little Study is also a character he had never seen before he crossed over. Is that it?
But the most important thing now is to eat, so he didn't pretend and started to show his cooking skills directly.
The fish he caught was pomfret, so he prepared to make a Fujian dish, braised fish.
After the fish is put into the oil pan, it should be moved less, which is a taboo for cooking fish.
Don't turn the fish over all the time, otherwise it will be unrecognizable.
After putting the seasoning in, the fragrance came all at once, and the soup was full of color and looked very tempting.
Lu Xun asked, "Fourth Senior Sister, do you eat spicy food?"
"Yes, slurp."
"Does Second Senior Sister eat spicy food?"
"Yes, too, slurp."
There were peppercorns in the kitchen of the small study, but Lu Xun didn't put too much.
After cooking the fish, it was the chicken.
After thinking about it, he made fried chicken with vinegar.
In the corner of the kitchen, there was actually a big jar full of rice.
This big jar and the small boxes containing peppercorns, onions, ginger and garlic were all covered with secret methods to prevent the rice and ingredients from spoiling.
It seems that Third Senior Brother is really obsessed with cooking...
After cooking all the food, Lu Xun turned his head and saw Mao Nanbei holding a small bamboo basket and standing by with eager eyes.
Seeing that Lu Xun had finished cooking, she quickly put the food in the small bamboo basket.
They were going to take the food to the bamboo forest and send it to Second Senior Sister first.
Mao Nanbei was in a hurry this time, so she flew over with Lu Xun.
But she didn't have the courage to land directly on the stone where the second senior sister was sitting cross-legged, but landed on the narrow path.
"Hello, second senior sister." Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei said in unison.
"Second Senior Sister, Junior Brother has cooked two dishes. We will bring them here to eat with you." Mao Nanbei said loudly.
At this position, Lu Xun could only see the thin back of Second Senior Sister. He saw her nod slightly.
Mao Nanbei put down the small bamboo basket and began to share the food.
The stone where Second Senior Sister sat cross-legged could not accommodate three people at all. She seemed to be in prison for the time being, so everyone had to eat separately.
But there were only two fish and three people. How to share them?
She caught the fish. She didn't think much when she caught it. The main reason was that she didn't expect Lu Xun's cooking to be so delicious. If she had known earlier, she would have caught more.
After hesitating for just three seconds, she directly shared a fish with Second Senior Sister.
It can be seen from this that although she was very afraid of Second Senior Sister, she actually had a good relationship with Second Senior Sister.
Mao Nanbei still had a little childish mentality, and many children were like this: You can hit me, you can scold me, but you are not allowed to touch my cookies!
If a child is willing to share half of his favorite snacks with you, then he really likes you.
What's more, this is a fish given to you by a little cat who loves fish.
In the end, the second sister sat on a rock to eat, while Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei sat down beside the goat path.
The fish and chicken were both delicious, and Lu Xun's cooking skills did not decline. Mao Nanbei's eyes lit up while eating, and a pair of cat ears moved comfortably, making people want to touch them.
Lu Xun smiled, only moved a chopstick of fish, and gave it all to her.
The wind blew through the mountains, and the bamboo forest rustled.
In this familiar yet unfamiliar world, Lu Xun felt a little warm for the first time, even though everyone was just eating and no one was talking.
Perhaps it really is true that:
[The smell of fireworks in the world is the most soothing to the hearts of ordinary people. ]
I think even for practitioners who are no longer ordinary people, this is the case.
