Chapter 321 A peach branch! [Asking for monthly votes]
“Sir, cooking is so hard, let me do the salty work!”
Mu Guiying came to the kitchen and prepared a decent meal for herself Put on an apron and dress up like a little cook.
Li Yu said while sorting out the ingredients:
"Go to the front desk to find Sister-in-law Xiuhe and ask her to go back to the village to buy a rooster and a duck, as well as those home-grown chickens. I’ll also buy some vegetables and other things.”
When the old mother invites the queen to eat, she must make arrangements.
Li Yu took out his mobile phone and asked the owner of the aquatic product store selling seafood to send some seafood such as prawns, crabs, conches, and Eastern starfish to enrich the dishes as much as possible.
After arranging these, he grabbed the kitchen knife and started to prepare vegetables.
After Xiuhe left on the electric bicycle, Mu Guiying washed her hands decently, squeezed into the kitchen, and started clumsily.
Hmm, when I get back later, I will tell you that my husband and I made this dish together. Master can’t just praise my husband, but he also has to praise me for being so cute!
"Sir, how do you cut this lotus root? Let me try it!"
"This is a continuous knife cutting method. The first knife cuts to two-thirds, and the second knife cuts it completely, so that it can be sandwiched in the middle. This is how the meat fillings and lotus root clips are made.”
“Oh, it feels so simple. Sir, go and do other things.”
Li Yu was a little worried and stood aside. After looking at it for a while, I found that Marshal Mu was indeed a man who often played with knives, and the lotus root slices he cut were even.
So he started cutting meat in front of another chopping board.
Chicken legs, pork belly, tenderloins, lamb legs, beef brisket, beef breasts, pig trotters, chicken feet, pig intestines... all kinds of ingredients, what should be changed, what should be soaked, were quickly arranged clearly in vain.
Having Mu Guiying on the side has indeed improved a lot of efficiency.
This girl kept talking while working:
“It’s fun to cook. Later I will cook a table of dishes for Xiao Feiyang, and she will be so moved that her nose will bubble with tears!”
As soon as Li Yu heard this, he quickly stopped:
"You are the one who wants to be the emperor. Letting the people live a good life is your goal. Don't focus all your attention on cooking."
Mu Guiying rolled his eyes:
"It is said that running a big country is like cooking small dishes. I am learning the experience of running a country. Sir, you won't just watch me, the founding emperor, become the last emperor, right?"
Good guy, you have never lost when you talk. Right?
Li Yu said:
"If you're not busy, I'll teach you a few simple dishes, and I'll make sure you learn them right away."
Mu Guiying bumped Li Yu with his shoulder:
"I know you love me It's best if you need me to cover you next time, I promise that Sister Zhou and Fairy Xiaochan will be as close as sisters and won't get into any trouble because of you."
Not long after, Xiuhe brought chickens, ducks, and chrysanthemums. Vegetables such as lettuce and lettuce, as well as some ground vegetables found by the villagers from the mountains, are very comprehensive.
The owner of the aquatic product store also brought a variety of seafood, and also specially presented a pack of blood clams. It is said that eating them is good for your health.
After Xiuhe left, Li Yu chatted with Mu Guiying while busy:
“Have you met Empress Houtu?”
“Yes, she is a very beautiful woman, yes. There was no color on my face and I looked sick. I even picked a big watermelon and cut it for her to eat. She praised me for being sensible. "
Sick?
It seems that Queen Houtu is still suffering from the sins of the world.
However, there are many temples for Queen Tu in the world in the book. Logically speaking, she should have accumulated a lot of faith and merit, so why can't she offset those sins?
You have to ask your old mother later, she should know exactly what happened.
The appearance of Empress Houtu indicates that the countdown to annihilating the lamps has begun, and the action may have already begun.
It’s a pity that I can’t enter that world and watch the battle.
As a mortal, Zi Shou cannot get close. He can only wait until the incident is over and seek information from the empress, hoping to completely extinguish Ran Deng so that Lao Deng will not continue to cause trouble to the world of gods.
Soon, various dishes entered the cooking stage.
Steam when it’s time to steam, stew when it’s time to stew, deep-fry when it’s time to fry, and stew when it’s time to stew.
Wait until these time-consuming dishes are almost cooked before stir-frying, so that they are almost cooked together so that Queen Houtu can eat the hot dishes.
Mu Guiying had nothing to do. She adjusted her apron and took a selfie in the kitchen with her mobile phone:
“This is my first time making pig’s feet casserole. I hope it tastes like mine. Her appearance is just as impeccable, yeah!”
As soon as I posted it to Moments, Zhou Ruotong called me:
“Guiying, don’t make trouble in the kitchen.”
“My husband and I are cooking for Empress Houtu, Sister Zhou. Do you want to come and have a try?”
Hearing that Li Yu was also in the kitchen, Zhou Ruotong felt relieved, fearing that this girl would accidentally blow up the kitchen.
"I'm at work and don't have time to go... Does Queen Houtu like to drink milk tea? I can ask an errand boy to deliver a few cups of milk tea."
Mu Guiying immediately said:
“She likes it very much, and said that the sweetness is delicious. She likes brown sugar popsicles, taro balls with milk, vanilla milkshake, caramel pudding...”
This girl talked a lot eloquently, and Zhou Ruotong couldn't help but feel happy:
"Is this what you want to drink? Wait, I will buy it all for you."< br>
When the errand boy brought over a dozen cups of milk tea, Mu Guiying chose one for herself, inserted a straw into it and took a few sips, then asked Li Yu:
"Sir, do you want to drink?"
"No, you can send it over and give Li Fengyang a drink by the way."
"Okay, okay!"
Mu Guiying She hurriedly went back with the milk tea, and when she came back again, she had a crooked branch in her hand:
"Sir, Sir, Queen Houtu praised the milk tea for being delicious, and specifically asked me to give this branch to you. , said to be able to control the house and ward off evil spirits. ”
Li Yu took it in his hand and looked left and right:
"What kind of branch is this?"
"Peach tree, the branches growing on the huge peach tree in the underworld are immune to all evil. No matter where this thing is placed, the evil spirits and evil spirits within a radius of dozens of miles will automatically dissipate."
Good guy, isn't this the effect of Tang Monk's cassock.
I didn’t expect that Queen Houtu would give such a precious gift just to make a meal. Although it cannot be used in the real world, it is still very useful in the book world.
For example, after the world of Journey to the West opened, didn't the Dragon King of Jinghe always pester Li Shimin to complain?
Place this peach branch in the palace, and if the Dragon King of Jinghe dares to come near, he will be purified at 360 degrees without blind spots, so that he will not continue to harass the emperor of the world.
"Send this peach branch to the study...forget it, let's give it to my room. The password is 231007#."
Such an ordinary branch, placed in the study, It is easy for tourists to play with it, or to throw it away during cleaning. It is better to keep it in your own room.
Li Yu occasionally puts some cultural relics in his room. To be on the safe side, Zhou Ruotong has changed the password lock for him.
Mu Guiying took a sip of milk tea and discovered that the room password was a date.
"Sir, does this password have any commemorative significance?"
"It was the first time I met your sister Zhou. From that day on, she broke into my life ruthlessly. , I can no longer feel the happiness of being single."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, sister Zhou said that you broke into her life, what do you mean, hurting each other?"
< br>Li Yu: "..."
Why do these words lose their beauty when they come out of your mouth?
It didn’t take long for various dishes to be cooked in an endless stream.
Mu Guiying carried a large tray and brought some cold dishes first, followed by stir-fries, stews and other hot dishes.
All the dishes are not finished until the sweet wine-stuffed egg drop soup and golden corn soup are ready.
"Sir, I have to wait for the Empress Dowager to pick up vegetables and serve soup, so I won't come back to eat. Goodbye!"
Are you serving soup with vegetables?
Are you going to cook like crazy in the empress’ cave?
However, when the two empresses met, they really needed a pistachio to adjust the atmosphere. Li Yu explained:
“Don’t just eat, talk to empress Tu more, she hasn’t left for so many years. There must be a lot to say after passing through the underworld.”
“Don’t worry, sir, I promise to complete the mission!”
After saying that, Mu Guiying hurriedly left with two dishes of soup.
After she left, Li Yu tidied up the kitchen and looked at the time. It was almost time to make dinner. He was too lazy to go to the city to find Tong Baobao anymore. He simply washed his hands and went back to his room to study carefully. Click on that peach branch.
The branches are a little dry and the fractures are flat, as if they were cut off by gardening.
It looks ordinary, and no one can connect it with the huge peach tree in the underworld, which represents the afterlife and death. As he was looking at it, he found an almost invisible little bud on the dry branch, and a thought flashed through his mind:
"If I plant it, it should still survive, right?"< br>
He took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to his mother Zhang Ping, who loves gardening:
"Mom, can these sprouts survive?"
Zhang Ping had just cleaned a patient's teeth and was about to take a breather to get off work. When she saw the photo sent by her son, she replied with some indifference:
"It should be okay. Do you want to plant peach trees? That's not the case now. In season, let me cultivate one for you tomorrow. It’s very interesting to integrate four or five kinds of peaches into one tree through grafting.”
"A friend gave it to me. I want to try planting it. What should I do first?"
"Soak it in clean water first, then dig a hole and bury it. The tip of the bud should be facing up. Don't bury it at the wrong end. , bury it well and don’t let it get exposed to the sun... Forget it, you are a clumsy kid, why don’t you have someone take it to the provincial capital, and I’ll help you cultivate it here, and then send it over after it’s done.”
This. The proposal made Li Yu's eyes light up:
"Okay, okay, I'm going to ask someone now to see if anyone has gone to the provincial capital. If so, I'll give you this peach branch... But Don’t break it for me, this branch is super precious!”
Zhang Ping asked in an experienced tone:
"Tongtong folded it for you?"
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"It was given by her elder. I heard that you are a master in handling flowers and plants, so I specially gave you one to prove yourself. Opportunity."
Hearing this, Zhang Ping became excited:
"Don't worry, kid, even if it's a fire stick, Mom will help you grow it into a towering tree!"
Tsk tsk, you are really a dentist, you are not afraid of flashing your tongue when you speak big words... Li Yu feels that his two mothers are quite upright. If the empress can come to the real world in the future, these two mothers should be able to talk.
After the chat, Li Yu posted an update on Moments:
“Recently, someone went to the provincial capital to help carry something. I’ll pay for the errands, so my help is not in vain.”< br>
Less than five minutes after it was sent, Wu Song left a message asking:
"Tomorrow morning Zhenzhen and I will drive to the provincial capital to attend a Hanfu exhibition. What does Brother Li want to bring? We promise Delivered! ”
Li Yu quickly chatted with him privately:
"The Empress Houtu gave me a peach branch. You can help me take it to my mother tomorrow to see if she can grow it."
Seeing this After receiving a message, Wu Song's hand shook and his phone almost dropped to the ground.
The peach branch given by Queen Houtu?
Brother Li’s social circle in Heaven is getting bigger and bigger!
He solemnly replied:
“Don’t worry, Brother Li, even if I risk my life, I will deliver the peach branches safely!”
“No need to risk my life, just put it in the trunk. Just don’t crush it.”
Soon, Wu Song drove to the B&B and brought a long sword box with him. He put the peach branch in it as if it were a treasure and placed it solemnly on the back seat. , and then drove down the mountain.
After seeing Wu Song off, Li Yu strolled to the kitchen and sat down to have dinner.
After dark, he slowly came to the statue with two drinks in hand. As soon as he sat down, his mother's somewhat boastful voice sounded in his mind:
"This is my son. He is handsome." Right?"
Then another gentle voice said:
"You are indeed handsome. Congratulations, I have found a good son with filial piety."
Li Yu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Good guy, why are you two having a group chat in my head?
As soon as I thought of this, I got hit on the head:
“You brat, you don’t know any manners at all, why don’t you quickly say hello to the queen?”
This The tone and gesture were very much like parents forcing their children to say hello to strange relatives.
Li Yusheng was afraid that his old mother would continue to beat him, so he quickly said hello:
"Greetings to Empress Houtu, I wish you good fortune and good health. This is the juice I just squeezed. Can you drink it?"
Empress Houtu's voice was full of joy:
" Drink it, you are such a sensible and good boy. If the human race were like you, there would be a lot less sin in the underworld... Your mother has always worked hard for the human race. It is a blessing to have such a good boy like you!"
It was the first time she left the underworld, and everything she saw was novel. When she just had dinner, she watched two episodes of "Ma Dashuai" with Empress Nuwa.
The old mother is very satisfied with her son’s performance:
"Those dishes are very delicious. Empress Houtu likes them so much. You are so thoughtful."
As soon as she said this, Empress Houtu praised Li Yu's craftsmanship and commented on each dish. Once again, especially those dessert dishes, the empress likes them very much.
Li Yu said:
"If you like it, make more dishes next time. They are all sweet dishes. The book says that sweetness is the taste closest to happiness. Do you like it? It’s my pleasure to eat.”
Sweetness is the taste closest to happiness?
Empress Houtu thought about these words and said with some emotion:
"What a sensible and good child. If I want to have a son like you, I will be willing to suffer as much as I want... My child, you Say a few more words, I want to hear more."
When the old mother heard this, she immediately made a decision:
"Hou Tu, this silly son is very naughty. I can't control him alone, so why don't you become his godmother and take care of him for me? This brat often makes me mad to death."
Li Yu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
I understand how you want me to recognize you as my godmother, but for this reason... hiss, it hurts, it hurts, mom, dear mother, stop fighting, godmother, help me!
Hearing Li Yu’s plea for help, Empress Houtu quickly said:
“Stop fighting, you may scare the child. Come, the godmother will rub it for you.”
Then Li Yu felt a warm hot wind caressing the place where his brain collapsed, which was very comfortable.
He finally understood why Baby Cicada fell asleep every time he came here. It felt so comfortable that anyone would want to take a nap.
Empress Houtu was obviously very happy to have Li Yu as her godson:
“I’ll look around in the underworld later and get you some more protective gadgets.”
"No, I'm very safe here. Apart from my mother beating me, there's no danger."
While chatting with his old mother and godmother, Li Yu felt that he was protected by three mothers. He really deserved it. Mommy’s boy.
Thinking that Mu Guiying never came, he asked:
"Where's Guiying?"
The old mother said angrily:
"It's still there to eat. I brought Fengyang to the cave just now, and the two of them were fighting over each other like two little piglets. While eating, your godmother was too embarrassed to use chopsticks in the end.”
Good guy, I thought I was picking up vegetables and serving soup for Queen Houtu, but I didn’t expect that all of it went into my stomach.
Li Yusheng was afraid that his godmother would not eat well, so he strolled to a snack bar not far away and bought all kinds of snacks in the store, especially desserts such as Taiyaki, which were all four. Starting from the share.
Since my godmother likes to eat sweet food, there is no need to say anything, make arrangements!
Li Yu sat in front of the statue until ten o'clock in the evening and talked a lot with the two mothers, from the world in the book to high-latitude creatures, from the battle of gods to the settings of gods and demons.
The old mother explained:
"Wait until the Conferring of Gods is over, then start a novel related to the local government, modify the settings, and help your godmother fundamentally solve the pain."< br>
“Okay Mom, I will prepare it.”
After leaving the scenic spot, Li Yu called Professor Zhou and told him about recognizing his godmother.
Zhou Ruotong understood the old mother's plan as soon as he heard it:
"The empress must be worried about the failure of becoming a god, so she will find a strong backer for you in advance. Empress Houtu will be deeply tied to the underworld. , No matter how the world changes, she is still a big boss, and it is still easy to save your life."
Li Yu only reacted after she said this, maybe that was why the old mother invited guests to dinner with great fanfare. idea.
My biological mother, the real world is super safe, so you don’t have to worry about my safety!
Li Yu was very moved and felt that he owed his old mother more and more.
He told Zhou Ruotong about the peach branches again, and then said with emotion:
"If it can be planted, I don't know if it will affect the normal operation of the underworld. I hope it will be a good thing. "
" Queen Houtu gave it to you, maybe because she wanted you to grow it. If my mother-in-law can't grow it, I'll find some agricultural experts to try. "
" Okay, excuse me, wife.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Yu was about to wash up and go to bed when there was a knock on the door:
"Sir, are you asleep?"
It was Mu Guiying's voice, and Li Yu quickly opened the door. , saw this girl standing at the door panting:
"What's wrong, Guiying?"
"I...hey, what do I want to see you for?"
>
Mu Guiying patted her head, took out her phone, unlocked it and handed it over:
"The latest note on the notepad, delete it as soon as you read it. I feel like there are a lot of caterpillars."
< br>This way of delivering news is absolutely amazing!
Li Yu clicked on the notepad APP and clicked on the latest note. There were only eight words on it:
"The burning lamp has been removed, let's develop with peace of mind!"
