Chapter 167
Shen Zening felt that he slept for a long time.
It took so long that when I woke up, I was still a little overwhelmed.
The bed seemed a bit hard, and lying on it felt like lying on the floor.
Didn’t the people from the demon tribe put quilts on their beds? impossible.
But it's so hard and uncomfortable. Is this really a bed?
Who would sleep on such a bed? It's so uncomfortable...
Shen Zening's consciousness is awake, but he still can't raise his eyelids. It seems like there are a few... It seemed like something weighing a hundred kilograms was pressing on it.
He struggled for a long time before he could barely open his eyes.
Then... I was completely stunned.
What a hard bed, there is no bed at all here!
He was lying on the ground!
Not even a carpet!
What happened? Was he kicked out of bed by a little fox in the middle of the night?
…Wait, that’s not right.
When Shen Zening was about to recall what happened last night, he suddenly felt a headache.
Last night they went to the demon clan's dinner party. He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine during the banquet...
When did he come back later? Did they stay until the end of the dinner? Why didn't he remember...
The sky was bright, and the warm sunlight shone on the body through the window lattice. The green scales shone with sparkling light, reflecting on the hollow and carved window frame, which was really beautiful.
Shen Zening: "..."
Shen Zening: "?"
Scales, scales? !
Shen Zening tried to move his hands.
The dragon's claws carved a deep mark on the floor.
He tried moving other parts again.
The dragon's tail swept a set of tables and chairs in the distance to the ground with a "crash".
Fortunately, the floor next to the tables and chairs was carpeted, so they didn't make much noise when they fell to the ground.
But even so, these muffled sounds still woke up the sleeping little fox.
Last night, the only bed in the palace was collapsed by Shen Zening's dragon shape, and the originally luxurious bed was reduced to a pile of wood fragments.
After Bai Yang finished cleaning up the mess, he took a towel and wiped off all the sawdust and debris on Shen Zening's dragon scales. He then rubbed the dragon horns that were slightly hot due to drunkenness and replaced them with a cooler one. The towel helped Shen Zening cool down.
After all this was done, he felt sleepy. After changing into his pajamas and washing himself, he was too lazy to move a finger and just fell asleep in front of Shen Zening.
The earth dragon in the hall was burning all night long, and he didn't feel cold even if he slept on the ground. Plus, Shen Zening's dragon flesh cushion made it quite soft to lie on.
Bai Yang fell asleep and simply changed back to his original form, crawling into Shen Zening's arms, revealing only a palm-sized fox face and the soft tip of his tail.
After those few muffled sounds of "crash", "bang" and "dong", it turned into a cub. The little fox huddled in front of the giant dragon opened its eyes blankly, and beat it slowly. A yawn.
The fluffy fox fur was made even more fluffy and smooth by the surrounding warmth, and the tips of the fluffy fur poked the scales, making Shen Zening almost sneeze on the spot. She endured it again and again, but managed to hold it back.
Otherwise, he didn't know if he would scare the little fox who had just woken up.
"Shen Zening..." Bai Yang muttered slowly, "What happened..." His
beautiful blue-gold eyes were filled with mist caused by sleep, and he yawned again. He got out of Shen Zening's arms, shook his hair, and then raised his paws to rub his face.
There were only two of them in the spacious dormitory. Shen Yun was taken back by Bai Wan and Zhu Mingshu last night, and she probably hadn't gotten up yet.
After Bai Yang finished rubbing his face, he felt much more awake. His white-velvet fox ears twitched and he looked towards the place where the muffled sounds came from.
...and then silence.
Two of the four legs of the table were missing and fell to the ground. Three of the four chairs had one or half of their legs more or less broken off by Shen Zening's dragon tail, and they were piled on top of the table, along with The tea set above also fell to the floor. Thanks to the thick carpet on the floor, it didn't break.
Bai Yang: "..."
Shen Zening, bah, this stinky dragon came to demolish the house, right? !
"Shen Zening!" The soft little paw patted the tip of Qinglong's nose, and the little fox said angrily, "Stop lying down, get up and clean up! Look at what you have done!" Shen Zening was stunned for a moment. , raised
his head, the dragon's beard just brushed the soft and elastic flesh pad, and the little fox quickly retracted its claws as if it was tickled.
"...Okay, okay, baby, don't be angry, I'll get up now."
He saw the little fox jump away lightly, got behind the screen and changed back into human form to change clothes, and then carefully stretched out on the hard floor. He slept with his body stiff, avoiding all furniture that he might touch, and after moving a few times, he returned to his human form.
I haven't been drunk for many years. After a hangover, my head felt as if someone had hit me hard with a hammer, and my temples were jumping and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Those tables, chairs and benches that were accidentally swept away by the dragon's tail must not be wanted. A few strands of golden spiritual power came out of Shen Zening's hands, tied together the remains of the tables and chairs, and packed them to the entrance of the palace. .
There were only two attendants on duty standing outside the palace gate, chatting quietly. As they chatted, the heavy palace door behind them opened with a creak, and then, a large pile of wooden remains that looked like they had been smashed to pieces were bundled with golden spiritual power and sent out.
Why do these broken parts look so much like... the set of tables and chairs that His Highness used to use?
Did His Highness and the Queen have a quarrel? A fight started? The emperor and empress fought, and the tables and chairs were cut into pieces?
The two attendants looked at each other and cast worried glances at the palace door that was slowly closing, driven by spiritual power.
When His Highness encounters a relationship crisis, who will win between him and the Queen?
"I think His Highness is more powerful." The round-faced attendant said, "Your Highness's martial arts value is one of the best in the entire world of cultivation and demons!" The
square-faced attendant nodded in agreement, but thought of the rumors about the queen, and lowered his voice. The voice rang out, "But the queen is from the Dragon Clan. Aren't the Dragon Clan from the Gods? Will they be more powerful than Your Highness?" "
I don't know, but I bet that Your Highness will win!" said the round-faced attendant, taking out a middle-grade stone from his belt. Spiritual stone.
The square-faced attendant was not to be outdone, and also took out a middle-grade spiritual stone. "In this case, I will bet on the queen to win."
In the palace.
Shen Zening and Bai Yang had no idea what kind of weird and speechless bet the two servants with strange minds outside the palace were making, and even ate a fake melon, thinking they were having a quarrel.
At this moment, Shen Zening was being helped by Bai Yang to sit on the surviving soft collapse.
"Tell me next time you feel you can't drink anymore. Don't keep it to yourself." Bai Yang said helplessly, sitting next to him and rubbing his head.
The swelling and pain in the back of the head came one after another, and the blood vessels seemed to be bouncing. It would only get better when the little fox's hands gently massaged it.
Shen Zening quietly leaned against the little fox and kissed his wife. Before the little fox was about to poke him to make him sit down, he hugged him and said softly: "My head hurts..."
Bai Yang made a move After a pause, his hand became lighter again, "The kitchen prepared sobering soup for you last night, but you... looked like you couldn't drink it, so I asked them to drink it again." "
I thought I could still drink it, I didn't expect to get drunk, Yangyang, I didn't mean not to tell you." Shen Zening said, holding the little fox's waist and arching against him.
"...I'm starting to behave like a puppy again." Bai Yang couldn't help him rub his head because of Shen Zening's attack, so he had to push him, "Get up, I can't move if you're like this." Seeing that his wife was about to He protested
, so Shen Zening changed his position and lay on the little fox's lap, "What about me, is it okay?"
"...Okay." Bai Yang said, as if he was troubled by Shen Zening and couldn't help it. He could only agree, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he rubbed his still painful head again.
The little fox's legs were so comfortable to lie down on. When he lay down, there was even a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.
Shen Zening couldn't help but closed his eyes, turned his head slightly, and sniffed lightly, "Yangyang, this is..."
"Huh?" Bai Yang was concentrating on massaging Shen Zening, and almost didn't react when he saw the man He came back to his senses and asked, "Are you talking about the smell? Qingyun and Qiuyue took all the clothes I left here and scented them. What's wrong? Does it smell bad?"
Qingyun and Qiuyue are in charge here. Shen Zening also met them at the dinner party.
"It smells good. How can the baby smell bad?" He chuckled, "You can only smell the subtle fragrance of this fragrance when you get close to it. It's faint and distant. What's its name?
" There are many types of incense in the clan, and there are nearly a hundred types used on white clothes alone.
The little fox tilted his head and thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems to be called, Zhongyun."
"Is this incense unique to the demon clan, or can it be bought in the world of cultivation? Let's take it with us when we go back. Let's get some." Shen Zening had not had much contact with the exquisite life in the ancient plane before, and he didn't even remember to buy incense for his wife. This time he happened to smell it, but he couldn't forget it again.
However, Bai Yang didn't know where the incense came from. Generally, a dedicated person was responsible for this kind of thing. Since Shen Zening was interested in Zhen Zhongyun, he simply called someone in and planned to ask.
At this time, more and more attendants were waiting outside the palace. Many of them were holding toiletries such as hot water and handkerchiefs, ready to help His Majesty and the Queen get up. After hearing His Majesty's voice, they gently moved their hands. He pushed open the palace door with his feet.
However, when these attendants came in carrying toiletries and breakfast, they found that the place where the bed should have been was empty, and even a set of nearby tables and chairs were missing. His Royal Highness and the Queen were still lying on the bed. The people were sitting on the soft floor in an intimate posture at this time, leaning against each other.
...Snuggling together was a euphemistic choice of words.
Queen, he is lying on Her Majesty's lap! ! !
The relationship is so good, how could anyone think that they are having a conflict? It's really unreasonable.
The round-faced attendant and the square-faced attendant were secretly glared at by many people at the same time - stop spreading lies and refuse to spread rumors!
However, where did the bed, tables and chairs go? It's impossible for them to disappear out of thin air.
Not only were these attendants curious, but even the square-faced attendants and round-faced attendants who had already dealt with the remains of the tables and chairs quietly pricked up their ears.
They knew what happened to the table, but what about the bed?
Regarding the missing bed, tables and chairs, Shen Zening felt that he needed to explain. Although it was okay not to explain, he still said, "...I accidentally broke the bed, tables and chairs." Attendants: "
????"
What, what, what? ! Did the queen break it?
...I can’t see that the queen is so fierce. She is really powerful.
Shen Zening: "..."
Why did he feel that after he explained, the eyes of these people became more obscure and strange?
After the square-faced and round-faced attendants heard what Shen Zening said, their pupils trembled and they stood stunned on the spot.
It turned out that those tables and chairs were really damaged in a "fight"...
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird. Shen Zening felt that he could no longer lie down on the little fox's lap, so he could only sit up straight.
The leading attendant hesitated for a while, then asked: "Your Highness, do you need to prepare an identical set of beds, tables and chairs for you? Or do you want to change the style?" "No, the
same ones will do. "Bai Yang said, feeling his face was a little burned by the sight. He asked them to put down their toiletries and then turned away everyone.
He looked at Shen Zening's innocent face and didn't know how to complain. After the heat on his cheeks subsided a little, he stood up, wet the handkerchief and started to wash up.
Before meeting Shen Zening, he had clearly lived here for a long time, from birth, to adulthood, to inheriting the position of Demon King. He should be very accustomed to the lifestyle here, but when he soaked the veil in the hot In the water, what I was thinking about was... it would be nice if there were water pipes and a sink.
Shen Zening saw that the little fox was hesitant in his movements, and guessed that he was used to living in a modern small building, and now that those facilities were missing, he was still a little bit unable to recover.
I just don’t know if the construction system can be used on the demon clan. They have to live in the demon clan for a week. If it can be done, it would be the best.
"Mr. Shen, even during the Chinese New Year, it is impossible for such a miracle to happen." The system reminded euphemistically, "The construction system can only be effective in the hotel area and specific places. The demon world is not within the scope of the construction system. ."
After the system said so, Shen Zening had no choice but to give up the idea of transforming the demon palace and honestly washed his face with hot water in the basin and a handkerchief.
While they were washing, the attendants came back again, quietly brought in new tables, chairs and beds and rearranged them.
The breakfast was also brought over again and placed on the new table one by one. The dishes were very rich, with a total of twenty small plates and bowls.
Although the portions of each dish were not very large, just a few bites, the total amount could not be eaten by two people - he did not include the staple food.
Shen Zening felt quite complicated in her heart. She didn't expect that the little fox had lived such a life before. The little food she cooked for him every day was really... aggrieved.
Bai Yang saw that Shen Zening didn't move his chopsticks. When he raised his eyes, he knew that his fellow Taoist was thinking about some messy things again. This situation had started since she accompanied him back to the Monster Clan. Even if Shen Zening didn't say anything, he could guess what the man was thinking.
"These dishes are specially prepared by them because they don't know your taste." Bai Yang explained, "When I ate before, there were not so many plates at all." As if worried that Shen Zening wouldn't believe it,
Bai Yang was still there At the end, he added: "Really."
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Shen Zening had already made up his mind to take good care of his little fox in the future, and he would have more abundant breakfast, lunch and dinner, including afternoon tea.
The dishes of Yaozu are very special and have a wonderful taste. They are indescribably delicious. They are so fresh and delicious that you won’t want to leave.
It's just that there is no aura.
...Yes, Reiki!
No matter how plentiful and delicious the dishes here are, what’s the use? They have no aura! Unlike the one I made, it is rich in spiritual energy, which not only assists in training, but also allows the little fox to recover from injuries as quickly as possible.
He is still slightly better!
Shen Zening quickly adjusted his mentality and no longer bothered with these scenes in the demon clan.
It’s all false!
How far does his [Dragon Blessing] need to be upgraded? He remembered that the last time he looked at it, it seemed to be almost level seven. After eating later, he would calculate the experience points needed for upgrading...
His mood improved again, and Shen Zening took Bai Yang's hand on the table. He gently squeezed his palm with his hand, "Yangyang, whatever you want to eat for lunch, I'll cook it for you."
Bai Yang: "...here?"
The demon clan's kitchen is not like the one at home, nor Shen Zening has not used a traditional stove for a long time. Can she get used to it?
"Yes, it's right here." Shen Zening said, putting a chopstick into his wife's bowl of stir-fried vegetables made of unknown grass or leaves. "I don't know when the nine tails will be fully recovered. I I have to keep replenishing your spiritual energy."
Of course Shen Zening knew that the kitchen here was different from the one at home, but when he was first dragged into the world of cultivation by the system, he used a very basic earthen stove, and there was no Those electrical appliances in the kitchen are just the kitchen of the demon clan, so they must be fine.
Now that it has returned to eight tails, it means that the poison in Bai Yang's body that was inflicted by Qin Shu has been almost cured.
However, Mingxuan said that when the Nine Tails fully recovers, the situation may be much more dangerous than this time. She just hopes that no accident will happen.
The breakfast was eaten slowly, and since the boy was not around, the two of them could eat slowly and chatting.
Bai Yang missed the food of the demon clan very much. When he heard that Shen Zening was determined to be responsible for his lunch, he didn't know how to tell him that he wanted to eat the dishes of the demon clan these days.
Bai Yang knew that Shen Zening was thinking about his health. He wanted to take care of Shen Zening and eat the dishes he wanted, so he could only... accompany him to the kitchen.
"By the way, that snack dad mentioned!" Shen Zening suddenly said, "It's the snack that you have to eat as soon as it comes out of the pot. I almost forgot about it. Yangyang, do you want them to have one?"
Bai Yang Before the word "good" could be uttered, the palace door was pushed open by the attendants.
The little dragon cub who had had breakfast at his grandparents' place swooped in. Seeing his father awake, he rushed over like a cannonball, "Father, father, grandparents said you were drunk, drunk." People feel uncomfortable when they wake up in the morning. Father, do you think it's uncomfortable?"
"It's not uncomfortable anymore." Shen Zening put down his chopsticks, picked up the kid, and squeezed his little face, "Thank you for your concern."
"Well, grandma and grandpa also said that when you are drunk, you should drink a bowl...what is a bowl of?" Shen Yun couldn't remember for a moment, and scratched his head in confusion, "Wake up..." As he spoke
, his eyes Yiliang: "I remember, it's hangover soup! Father, have you drunk the hangover soup?"
"Drink up," Shen Zening said.
Shen Yun was relieved and sighed like a little adult, then put the food box in his hand on the table with difficulty, "That's good! That's right! The snacks my grandparents asked me to deliver!"
The food box was opened, and inside there were several squares wrapped in broad leaves of some kind of plant, almost as big as the palm of a hand.
"Father, daddy, try it quickly!" Shen Yun patted them and said with all his strength, "This snack is delicious, and there is meat in it!" "
That's it!" The little fox's voice suddenly rose in pitch. , became visibly happy, reached out to take one, but accidentally got burned by the hot snack, so he had to let go and blew on his red fingertips.
"Yangyang, don't worry." Shen Zening took his hand and looked at it carefully. When he saw that it was just a little red, he let him go, intending to use his spiritual power to lower the temperature of the snacks a little.
"No!" the little fox said anxiously, "these snacks are the ones we just mentioned. They won't taste good when they are cold." "
Just make them not so hot, so as not to make them too cold..."
Shen Zening was only halfway through speaking when he met the little fox's disapproving look and had to give up, "...Okay, okay, then I won't touch them. Just don't do it. I'll help you peel off the leaves." "?"
Without letting him use his spiritual power to cool down, Bai Yang wouldn't be able to peel these snacks by himself.
This stupid little fox was so eager to eat that he forgot that it would be hot to his hands.
Thanks to the dragon scales on his body, Shen Zening was not afraid of being burned. He picked up a snack, peeled it off in three strokes, and placed it on the small plate in front of the little fox.
The outside of this snack was soft and glutinous, and was light yellow, like a rice cake. Bai Yang held it between his chopsticks and took a small bite. It was similar to a rice cake in that the outer layer was full of toughness and could be stringy.
The meat filling inside is the monster meat unique to the monster world. It is not marinated with too many seasonings. When you take a bite, the meat juice will overflow.
"Be careful of getting burned." Shen Zening warned the little fox and peeled one off for the cub.
Surprisingly, the little dragon cub, who was always greedy, actually shook his head and let Shen Zening eat first.
He touched his round belly sheepishly and whispered: "I've already eaten three at my grandparents' place, and I really can't eat anymore."
When the attendants brought the new bed over, Bai Yang remembered that he had forgotten Tell them that they are preparing a bed for Shen Yun. This is a strange place for Shen Yun. He is not sure about letting his son sleep alone. It is best to sleep with them.
But before he could say anything, Shen Zening called him and said he couldn't find the toothpaste.
Shen Zening had long guessed that his wife would have such thoughts, but he had already prepared for it. Before he accompanied the little fox back to the demon clan, he had already avoided him and discussed it with Zaizi in private.
Even the cubs cannot disturb the two-person world of the fathers!
At that time, Shen Yun had just received the first car in her life from him. Although it was a children's car, it made the little dragon cub excited for a while and drove it around and around in the yard.
While Shen Zening was teaching his son to drive, he discussed with him that if he could sleep in a room by himself after returning to the Yao Clan, he would buy him another car when he returned to the hotel.
Shen Yun had slept on her own for several days without Pei Nian by her side. She was no longer as uncomfortable as when Pei Nian first came home. After hearing that she could also get a new car, she agreed without hesitation and felt that This is a very good deal.
After the family of three finished breakfast and snacks, Bai Yang remembered that Shen Yun's bed had not been decorated yet, and was about to call the attendant over when his son hugged his thigh and said that Sister Qingyun and Sister Qiuyue had already prepared it for him. There's a room, dad doesn't have to worry.
The little dragon cub looked as normal as ever, and even thought of a reason to sleep alone - after the Chinese New Year, he would be a big boy, and it would be too embarrassing to sleep with his father.
This reason is a little reluctant, but it is still reasonable.
After all, Shen Yun had said before that when he grew up, outsiders could no longer call him Tiao Tiao. Bai Yang didn't think too much about it, but he still wanted to go over before going to bed to see if Shen Yun was used to it.
Unknowingly, they had been in the demon clan for three days.
In the past three days, Shen Zening has become familiar with the people in the kitchen and even learned a few simple demon dishes.
When he is cooking, Bai Yang will also help him, just like at home.
The people in the kitchen were frightened at first, wondering how they could let His Highness and the Queen do it themselves, but over the past few days, they have become accustomed to it.
The relationship between His Highness and the Queen is so good that they can't stop it at all.
A few smart ones even came forward and blew a few tricks, which made Shen Zening feel very happy and fed them several snacks filled with spiritual energy.
As a result, more and more people came to chat with CP. Over the next few days, everyone nearby tasted the food containing spiritual energy made by Shen Zening himself, and Shen Zening's reputation among the monster clan also became more and more famous. The better.
"Who on earth said that the queen is not good to His Highness? The queen is too cruel from the Dragon Clan. Rumors, they are all rumors!" Several
guards held snacks, their mouths were full of oil after eating, and said loudly, "The queen has bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, and is beautiful. , Guangfeng Jiyue, who is spreading rumors? He can also cook. Isn’t this just a god descending to earth!"
In the kitchen.
"You have won a lot of hearts with your delicious food." Bai Yang helped Shen Zening add seasonings to the bowl of marinated meat, and joked, "My queen is really good at it."
Shen Zening listened, He approached Bai Yang with a smile, and while everyone in the kitchen was busy, he leaned down and secretly kissed the side of his face, "Your Highness, do you want to punish me?" "To
win over people's hearts, I will commit the crime below." Seeing that no one was looking, Bai Yang grabbed Shen Zening who was about to leave after the kiss, raised his head and bit him on the lip, "It deserves a good punishment."
The two of them came to the kitchen many times. Others have long been used to it, and they will automatically avoid it every time, turning their backs to them, so as not to delay His Highness and the Queen's intimate interactions.
Bai Yang knew that they wouldn't peep, or didn't dare to peep. Occasionally, he would kiss Shen Zening back when he found a chance to kiss him, just like he did in the hotel.
"If they find out, their graceful and graceful Highness will pester your husband for a kiss in the kitchen. Yangyang, your cold image will collapse." Shen Zening took advantage of the situation and hugged her. The little
fox's waist, whispering to scare him.
"...I am your husband." The little fox Xiangruo said dissatisfied, and lightly slapped Shen Zening with his elbow.
"Yeah, yeah, you are, you are."
It doesn't matter, just be tough. Shen Zening always follows his little fox.
The two of them were intimate for a while, and then Shen Zening let go. He walked to the stove and heated up a pan with oil. He put the marinated meat into the pan and stir-fried it. Soon, a feeling of greed filled the kitchen. As Bai Yang smelled the aroma of human flesh, his stomach growled, indicating he was hungry.
Shen Zening planned to cook Bai Yang a dish today that he learned from the chef of the Yao clan. Since he had just learned it recently and was not very proficient yet, as soon as he put the ingredients into the pot, the expression on his face unconsciously turned serious. When I got up, I didn’t even have time to chat with my wife.
After carefully frying three dishes, Shen Zening was about to cook the fourth dish when he suddenly discovered that he had forgotten to bring over an important side dish.
But the couple rummaged through the kitchen and couldn't find the side dishes they needed.
Shen Zening pulled the porcelain jar and said, "That's weird, I remember using it yesterday. Wasn't it just sitting here?" The side
dish required for the fourth course was actually a pre-processed one. It is a fruit unique to the demon world. To process the fruit, you need to grind it into powder from a strange plant grown at the junction of Xizhou and Nanzhou, wrap it and marinate it for an hour.
The waiter waiting on the side saw this and hurriedly looked for someone to understand the situation. Only then did he realize that it was because the powder was gone, so Shen Zening couldn't find the side dishes needed for the fourth course.
"Why is this out of stock?" Bai Yang asked curiously.
Aren’t you always keeping a spice like this that you need to use frequently?
"Your Highness doesn't know. As early as last month, we couldn't buy the powder of those plants from Xizhou." The attendant replied, "They may be busy preparing for the New Year, and they use paper cranes to send messages intermittently. If we couldn't receive it, it would be difficult to carry out the transaction. There was still one can in the kitchen, which was enough for this period of time. We thought it would be too late to wait until after the New Year to buy it, but we never thought that someone accidentally opened the can this morning. It's broken, and now..."
"Forget it, I'll make another dish." Shen Zening saw the attendant talking and was about to apologize, and quickly interrupted him and asked him to go down first.
"It seems that no matter where we are, everyone attaches great importance to the New Year."
Shen Zening prepared the fourth dish again and chatted with Bai Yang casually, "It's the same when I want to replenish the hot springs in the hot springs, the shopkeeper said I can't always contact the weapon cultivator. I managed to talk to him for a few words but then disappeared."
Bai Yang had stayed in the demon world all year round and didn't understand the situation in the cultivation world when the New Year was approaching. After hearing this, he had the same idea as Shen Zening. .
It seems that when the Chinese New Year is approaching, if there is anything that needs to be purchased from other states, it must be purchased early.
Neither of them took this matter to heart and continued to cook.
At this time, thousands of miles away, a white paper crane was flying, suddenly fell down, fell into the snow, and was soon submerged by the wind and snow, never to fly again.
Chapter 168
Without a side dish made of pickled fruits, the dish would be incomplete and lose its unique flavor.
Shen Zening did not learn more dishes with the taste of the demon world. He was worried that if he tried to improve it, it would not be delicious, so he simply planned to change the marinated meat to taste like spicy chicken.
The taste of this monster meat is similar to that of chicken. The difference is not big. When marinating, cooking wine and light soy sauce were omitted. Shen Zening simply added some oyster sauce, five-spice powder and salt, and continued to marinate for a while. time.
Very few people in the demon clan use dried chili peppers for cooking, and they usually use fresh chili peppers. Shen Zening asked Bai Yang to wait for him for a while, and then went out and asked several attendants before getting a small handful of dried chili peppers.
He weighed the weight and felt it was not good, so he simply opened the system store and bought a large bag of dried chili peppers.
While he was marinating the monster meat again, he first prepared the vegetarian dishes, and planned to make some desserts for the little fox and cubs.
"Spicy chicken, no, spicy...well, this monster meat may be spicier. These dried chili peppers are the most authentic ones bought from the system mall." Shen Zening explained, opened the mall, and put in all the ingredients needed for the dessert. I bought the ingredients and said, "I'll make some steamed cheese with sugar and yam cake with matcha bean paste, and then make a pot of fruit tea to relieve the spiciness. What do you think, baby?" "Okay
." Bai Yang said, helping him We unpacked the ingredients together.
There are many fruits in the demon clan's kitchen, but Shen Zening hasn't had time to eat them all. He doesn't know if they are suitable for making fruit tea, so he picked out a few after asking Bai Yang, and then bought them from the system mall. I bought some oranges, strawberries, lemons and other fruits and black tea.
Bai Yang asked someone to bring a larger soup basin, filled it with more than half of the water, added some salt, and put all the fruits used for making fruit tea in, preparing to soak it for a while and then take it out for washing.
Shen Zening wore gloves and was peeling the yam skin. Once it was peeled and cut into small pieces, he put them all on a plate and took them to the waiting attendants, saying that they would be steamed.
The kitchen on the Yaozu's side is indeed not as convenient as at home. Cooking is okay, but if he uses this traditional stove to steam things, there is no timer. He can easily forget the time and simply leave it to others.
In addition to the chopped yam cubes, he also boiled a small pot of milk to make steamed sugar cheese.
Steamed cheese with sugar is very simple to make. After boiling the milk and setting it aside to cool, Shen Zening filtered out all the rice in the rice wine and pressed out the pure rice wine juice.
The milk skin on the surface of the cooled milk was unused, so he picked it off with chopsticks, poured the junmai wine juice into it, mixed it evenly, poured it into the prepared small bowls, and took it to the attendants as well. Steamed in the pot.
Steam the sugar-steamed cheese over low heat for fifteen minutes, then simmer it for another three to five minutes. After taking it out of the pot, let it cool down a little, pour a small spoonful of sugar-osmanthus flowers over it, and you're ready to eat. It's the fastest dessert to make.
Thanks to the system space, which is such a convenient storage place, Shen Zening made these portions of steamed cheese with sugar and stored them in it, waiting to take them out for dessert after lunch.
When Bai Yang saw that the steamed cheese with sugar was ready, he was still a little greedy and wanted to try it first, but Shen Zening quickly started making matcha bean paste and yam cake, and deliberately asked him to join him in kneading the glutinous rice balls, so he immediately moved on. his attention.
"Yangyang, what kind of mold do you want?" Shen Zening clicked on the system mall and pointed to the searched mold page and asked the little fox, "The molds I used before were all at home and I didn't bring them over, so I have to buy them now. The molds at home include peach blossom shapes, cherry blossom shapes, plum blossom shapes, and, by the way, the fox and dragon molds I bought when making osmanthus and chestnut cakes. Which one do you want to change this time?"
Pastry molds in the system mall After searching, there were hundreds of pages, and Bai Yang's eyes were spoiled. In the end, he chose the traditional flower style and asked Shen Zening to buy the lotus-shaped one.
Press the steamed yam pieces into a puree, mix into the cooked glutinous rice flour and knead into a ball, then divide it into two parts, add matcha powder to one of the glutinous rice balls, then knead the two colors of glutinous rice balls together and mix into half white Half matcha color.
Shen Zening took the little fox to flatten the glutinous rice ball, put a small ball of bean paste inside, wrapped it up and rounded it, put it into a lotus-shaped mold and pressed it, and the matcha bean paste yam cake was completed.
On the soft and glutinous pastry, white and light matcha colors were mixed and placed on a delicate small plate. Shen Zening pressed all the remaining glutinous rice balls and asked his wife: "Do you want more osmanthus honey?" "...No more. Right
." Recently, many of Shen Zening's desserts have been made with sweet-scented osmanthus added to them. Bai Yang was almost tired of eating them and immediately shook his head, "The yam cake is also filled with bean paste filling. It is already very sweet." "That's not it. I think you
and Tiao Tiao both like to eat sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored things." Seeing his wife's disgusted look, Shen Zening had no choice but to explain sarcastically.
Bai Yang: "..."
Tiao Tiao was addicted to sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored beverages and desserts for a while, but that was already a month or two ago. Anyone who has eaten something with osmanthus-flavored food for such a long time will be in trouble. I probably won’t want to touch it in a short time.
What's wrong with Shen Zening...
Bai Yang knew that Shen Zening kept making this flavor because they liked it, but he couldn't stick to one flavor and keep making it... "The
osmanthus honey in the sugar-steamed cheese is enough. ." Seeing that the attendants were all standing far away, the little fox came up to Shen Zening, raised her head and gave his chin a soft lick of fur.
If dragons had hair.
The two desserts were ready in no time, and now you can start preparing the fruit tea.
Only then did Shen Zening remember that she had forgotten to tell the little fox that the fruits could be taken out, washed and sliced after soaking for seven or eight minutes. It had been so long and I didn’t know how the fruits had been soaked, especially the strawberries, which had been soaked for too long. It won’t be good for a long time.
But when Shen Zening looked up, he found that the basin that was supposed to contain fruit was empty. Before he could ask any questions, the little fox said that he knew Shen Zening would forget when he was busy making desserts, so he asked the attendant to take care of it.
The fruits prepared by the attendants were neatly placed on another large plate. They were not only peeled but also cut into slices, waiting for Shen Zening to cook them.
There was a lot of fruit, so Shen Zening simply put more black tea into the tea bag and brewed it into a big pot. When he got closer and smelled it, he could see that it was filled with the sweet fragrance of the fruit.
He simply poured several cups of fruit tea first, found a tray, put the cups on it, and stuffed it into the little fox's hands.
"Baby, when I fry this dish later, it may be a little choked. You go out and wait for me. By the way, give the fruit tea to Tiao Tiao, Mom and Dad, and Xiaoying." The kitchen
of the Yao clan is not as good as at home. There is no range hood, so once it is stir-fried, the choking smell of the chili lingers for a while.
Bai Yang still remembered that when he was at home, Shen Zening once learned a classic dish from He Ming and said that he wanted to show him his skills. As a result, the chili was put in and he choked and fled the kitchen on the spot, while Shen Zening was cooking. When I was cooking, I was also turning over the spatula while choking and coughing repeatedly.
"Okay, then you should pay attention to yourself." He followed Shen Zening's instructions and took the tray, and said worriedly, "The chili is too choking. Do you want to wear a mask?" It's really choking, and wearing a mask is not recommended.
It was no use. Shen Zening took a spare towel from the system space, prepared to wet it and put it in front of his mouth and nose. "It's okay, don't worry, this will be fine." I heard that the queen was going to fry
a chili dish . There were more dishes than meat. Half of the people in the kitchen consciously avoided the spicy taste of chili peppers, and the other half were persuaded to leave by Shen Zening.
If I don't go out, I will really choke and collapse.
Spicy chicken requires oil and chili peppers. When frying, you need almost one pot of it.
Shen Zening cut these pieces of monster meat into pieces the size of spicy chicken. After frying them in a pan, the aroma of fried food instantly filled the entire kitchen and floated out of the window.
"Well, it smells so good!"
The little demon sitting closest to the kitchen window smelled the smell of freshly fried meat. He took a few puffs and followed the smell of meat and walked to the window with his eyes closed. .
Hearing this, other people also moved closer to the kitchen, gathering in twos and threes near the window.
"It smells really good! What is the Queen doing for Your Highness? It smells delicious!"
"I don't know, but it must be quite spicy. Didn't you see that the Queen prepared a pot full of dried chili peppers just now? "The little demon who spoke exaggeratedly gestured to the size of the basin, "——Such a big basin!"
After the monster meat is fried, take it out, leave some oil in the pot, stir-fry the minced garlic and Sichuan peppercorns, Shen Zening Then pour in the dried chili peppers and stir-fry them to create the spiciness.
He covered his mouth and nose with the towel he had prepared in advance. He did not choke at all from the pot full of dried chili peppers, but the choking smell of the fried chili peppers made the little monsters squatting outside the window choke. Not light.
Suddenly there were coughing sounds under the window. After Shen Zening finished frying the monster meat, he looked around and saw a row of little monsters squatting outside, covering their mouths and coughing non-stop. There were several of them. , even coughing until tears came out.
However, after Shen Zening finished frying the monster meat, the pungent smell of chili pepper dissipated, and the little monsters smelled the spicy meat and became greedy again.
It smelled quite unpleasant just now, and it was really spicy. But after it came out of the pot, it no longer felt choked. What was left was only the fragrant meat smell that made people drool.
They prepared a lot of monster meat for the original fourth dish, and Shen Zening bought a lot of dried chili peppers, so they fried the dried chili peppers and put the fried monster meat pieces into the pot and stir-fried them to make them taste better. When I was there, I almost couldn’t let it go.
If there were more, he wouldn't even dare to turn over the spatula.
Shen Zening filled a large bowl with the monster meat for lunch. He felt that it should be enough to eat. He simply left the remaining small dish in the kitchen for the little monsters to have a taste.
If they like it, Shen Zening thought, he can teach the people of the demon tribe how to cook this dish, as a way of thanking them for teaching him how to cook the dishes of the demon tribe.
"The Queen is such a good person! Oh wow, it's delicious!!!"
Everyone shared the small plate of monster meat, thinking in their hearts that it was too little and not enough to eat. If only they knew how to cook it.
However, even if you know how to make it, you can't make it like the Queen, who can make the dish contain so much spiritual energy.
"Ahem - it's just a bit spicy." One of the little demons coughed twice and stuck out his tongue due to the spicy taste.
in the garden.
Shen Yun was driving his off-road vehicle decorated with white dragon horns and tails to show off to the cubs in his clan.
Almost all of the cubs still have animal-shaped ears and tails. They are a big fluffy bunch and look extremely cute.
"My car can seat four people!" Shen Yun said, jumping off the off-road children's car, "Does anyone want to ride in my car?" "
Me, me, me!"
The cubs raised their hands and looked at the off-road vehicle. Che was very curious. They had never seen such a novel toy before. They watched Shen Yun come back after driving a long circle. They didn't expect that he actually planned to invite them to sit together. That would be great!
Before setting off back to the Monster Clan, Shen Zening fully charged Zaizi's car, but he had not yet tried to use the socket on the flying boat to charge the children's car. When Shen Yun asked him for a car to drive around, he even I warned my son that the battery in the car might not be enough and he shouldn't play for too long every day. Otherwise, if the battery ran out, he would have to wait until he got back to the hotel.
But the eagerness to show off made Shen Yun put Shen Zening's words behind him. He happily chose three cubs that he thought had particularly cute ears and tails, took them into the car, and started to play in the car. Take a spin in the garden.
Bai Yang didn't know about the battery problem of the children's car, and he didn't think Shen Yun would waste electricity by carrying people in this way. He just smiled and asked the kid to drive slower and not to go into the small road.
"Don't go behind the rockery." He reminded Shen Yun in a loud voice when he saw Shen Yun driving away with three ignorant little cubs.
Shen Zening prepared lunch, and after learning the location of the little fox from the attendant, he walked over and saw the scene of his wife obediently looking after the child, and for some reason his heart softened.
Shen Zening walked to the little fox and sat down, watching the cub with him quietly for a while, and then said: "Yangyang, lunch is ready, let's go back to eat first." "
So fast?" Bai Yang said casually, with a pair of beautiful His blue-gold eyes looked at Shen Yun driving without blinking.
It wasn't until Shen Zening couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to show off his presence in front of his wife that he helped Bai Yang straighten his wind-blown hair, and then she got the little fox's attention.
The weather is good today, the sun is bright and the wind is clear. Spring in the demon world has come very early. The temperature in the past few days has been as warm as spring.
The two of them leaned together and chewed their ears, talking about their plans for the afternoon. Tiao Tiao, who had been closely watched by the little fox, and excitedly racing with the cubs, was quickly forgotten by the couple.
The wind in the garden was not very strong and it was not as cold as winter. Bai Yang looked around and selected the pavilion on the side.
"Why don't we have lunch here," he said.
There is no sunlight in the pavilion, so the temperature will drop slightly, but you won't feel cold. Shen Zening led the little fox around the pavilion and felt that it was okay. The view was good, and he could enjoy the view while eating. Flower viewing.
Seeing that His Highness and the Queen had made up their minds to have a meal here, the sharp-eyed attendants hurriedly started to decorate, moving tables and chairs and laying carpets. They worked for a while, and when the little prince came back with the other children, they The place to eat has been prepared.
In the past few days in the Monster Clan, no matter where he went or what he did, there were always people waiting on him. Shen Zening couldn't help but sigh to the little fox: "If this continues, I will become lazy." Shen Yun saw a bunch of people surrounding the pavilion.
After being busy there, I drove my car over and planned to join in the fun. Then I saw my father and dad were there. I quickly stopped the car and ran over to say hello.
"Father, you're here."
Shen Zening was placing dishes on the table. When he saw that his son was done playing, he asked him to wash his hands and prepare to eat.
Father-in-law, mother-in-law and Bai Ying have already sent people to call them. All the dishes are stored in Shen Zening's system space. When they are taken out, they still look like they were freshly cooked, hot and smell delicious.
Shen Yun was not hungry at first. He was fed a lot of snacks by Bai Wan and drank several cups of fruit tea brought over by Bai Yang. However, when he smelled the aroma of vegetables, he couldn't help but sip his saliva.
There were only four dishes, but Shen Zening thought that since there were many people in his family, each dish would have a large portion, so it would definitely be enough for seven people.
The steamed cheese with sugar was divided into seven small bowls. He placed the small bowls with desserts on the table. When he saw Shen Yun quietly reaching out to try a piece of spicy monster meat, he looked a little greedy. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry and gently slapped his hand away.
"Grandpa, grandma and two little uncles haven't come yet. You should be a sensible little dragon cub and wait until everyone is here before eating, good boy." The
monster meat was fried until it was golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Buried inside the red dried chili peppers, it almost looks red at first glance, and a bit festive.
Zhu Mingshu and Bai Wan came very quickly. After seeing the small but delicious dishes, they sat down directly, looking like they were ready to eat at any time. However, Bai Ying and Rong Qing still didn't come over. Several people came again. After waiting for a while, the attendant replied that they would not come to eat together.
"Young Master said that lunch has already been had," the attendant replied.
"Then leave him alone or not come. The two of them are together every day. It's business to quickly figure out how to bring the person back to the nest." Bai Wan said, greeting Shen Zening, Bai Yang, and the little dragon cub. Tiao Tiao hurriedly sat down, "Tiao Tiao are you hungry? You can eat."
Shen Yun happily chose a seat close to Bai Wan. He jumped hard with his short legs and finally sat on the chair. He couldn't wait to sit on the chair. He picked up the chopsticks and went straight for the monster meat.
Bai Ying and Rong Qing did not eat with them, but Shen Zening had already prepared seven portions of desserts, so she waved to the waiting attendants and asked them to deliver the desserts to their brother-in-law.
In the warm spring light, everyone was using chopsticks non-stop, and they were satisfied with the meal. The dessert after the meal was just the right amount, which could relieve the spicy taste without being boring.
The dishes were almost empty. Bai Yang ate the dishes that Shen Zening gave him in the bowl. He put down his chopsticks gracefully. He felt that his mouth was a little spicy. When he was about to wipe his mouth and eat the dessert to take a breath, he saw Not far away, a... strange figure slowly walked over?
It was strange because the man seemed to be carrying a lot of things on his shoulders. He was walking in the shade of a tree and the light was dark. At a quick glance, he thought it was something strange.
Only when people walked in did they realize that it was Lang Ze who was back.
What Lang Ze was carrying on his shoulders was an edible monster that looked a bit like a deer, except that its antlers had several more forks than a deer's antlers, and its fur was also gray in color.
"Uncle Wolf!"
Shen Yun waved to Lang Ze.
The little dragon cub, who couldn't sit still after eating, jumped off the chair and ran to Lang Ze. He raised his head and looked curiously at the monster on his shoulder, "Uncle Wolf, what are you doing carrying it?" "
Reply ?" Your Highness, of course I brought you something to eat." Lang Ze smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. I didn't expect to hunt such a big one today. I thought I could only hunt small animals." "I caught it
. ?" Shen Yun tilted her head, and the ice-like little dragon horns on her head looked more shiny and cute in the sun. "Uncle Wolf, did you go hunting just now?"
Lang Ze nodded.
Shen Yun heard Shen Zening mention hunting, and said that he originally wanted to try it last autumn, but was delayed due to various busy things and never had time to hunt.
There are no hunting grounds near the hotel. If you want to hunt rabbits or something, you have to go to the mountains to find them slowly.
The weather here in the Yao clan is so good and the climate is warm. Now that we have finished eating, we can go for some activities!
Shen Yun looked at her father, who was eating steamed cheese with sugar, and then at his father, who was helping his father pour fruit tea. He decisively rushed over and hugged his father's thigh.
"Dad, can we go hunting in the afternoon?" He blinked and tried to be cute, "Dad, look, Uncle Wolf has hunted a huge deer. I want to try it too!" "Tiao Tiao is interested in hunting
. ?" Shen Zening laughed and gestured at his height, "Baby, can you hold a bow and arrow?"
Shen Yun groaned and said unconvinced: "There must be bows and arrows for children, father, you are too young. Look at me!"
"He doesn't dare." Bai Yang touched the kid's little dragon horn and said, "If Tiao Tiao wants to go, let's go to the hunting ground later and teach you how to shoot an arrow." Shen Zening He also leaned over and rubbed
Zai Zai's white hair, "I'm not looking down on you. I'll buy it for you right away, okay?"
Tiao Tiao was satisfied and hugged Shen Zening again. I want to jump on him and look at the interface of the system mall.
Zhu Mingshu and Bai Wan finished their lunch and were taking a walk in the garden to eat. Bai Yang saw the father and son happily shopping in the system mall, so he went to his parents and asked, "Dad, mother, are you interested?" , want to go hunting, do
you want to go together later?" "We won't go." Zhu Mingshu said, "You and Xiao Shen have fun with Tiao Tiao. Ah, by the way, since we want to hunt, I will eat you at night. I'll tell the kitchen later so that they don't have to prepare dinner."
Bai Yang, who hadn't hunted for a long time and was worried that he would become raw, couldn't help but glance at his son who was having fun and looked at him. Shen Zening has no experience in hunting.
...I won't be able to hit anything by then and be embarrassed in front of my father and mother.
Alas, it’s better to bring Lang Ze with us.
