I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 144: The temptation of food

Views:

"Cows that grow up on wheat, straw, and corn taste better than those that eat grass."

When he heard the words "more delicious", Min Niu's ears moved suddenly, and he stared at Jiang Beiran with his small eyes for a while before lowering his head to eat.

Kong Qianqian, who was washing rice, couldn't help drooling and said, "It sounds delicious, hehehe."

Jiang Beiran laughed, took out a piece of paper, wrote two lines on it, and handed it to Kong Qianqian, "Make rations according to the formula above, and the cows will definitely like it."

"Thank you sir!" Kong Qianqian wiped his hands and took the paper. After looking at it twice, he ran to Mu Yao and said, "Senior Sister, look, look! Sir's handwriting is so beautiful!"

Mu Yao glanced at the paper, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she grabbed Kong Qianqian's face and said, "I told you not to call him Mr.! Also, brother Jiu Ri's handwriting is much better than his. gone."

"Ouch~" Kong Qianqian yelled twice after being pinched and said vaguely: "Senior brother Jiuri's handwriting is of course beautiful, but Mister's handwriting is also very beautiful. Look at this Mai..."

"Also!" Mu Yao squeezed Kong Qianqian's hand a little harder.

"Ouch~ Don't say it, don't say it."

"Then hurry up and cook."

Looking at this scene, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but said to Mu Yao: "You are also like a demon girl when you are bullying your junior sister."

"I want you to take care of it!" After speaking, Mu Yao made a face at Jiang Beiran.

With a chuckle, Jiang Beiran returned to his fire and continued cooking.

Half an hour later, A Niu, who had just drank half of the gourd Penglaichun, was about to lie down and take a nap, but his nose moved.

After sniffing hard several times, Ah Niu sat up suddenly and looked in Jiang Beiran's direction.

"Google..."

Although I clearly ate three crispy yellow dumplings made of taro just now, I couldn't stop being greedy after smelling the aroma.

When he recovered, A Niu found that he had walked to Jiang Beiran's temporary stove.

He raised his nose again, and the aroma that hit his face seemed to give his nostrils accompaniment with pepper, red oil, sweet and sour, and mashed garlic, forcing him to swallow hard.

Jiang Beiran, who was chopping small ingredients, smiled and said, "Brother A Niu, do you want to try it?"

Going to an iron pot, Ah Niu asked, "My lord, what are you doing? I've never smelled this smell before, it's so delicious."

"This is called Piaoxiang hoof. There are bamboo shoots, meatballs, and quail eggs in it. The meat is almost boiled at this moment." Jiang Beiran said, picked up a wooden spoon and handed it to Brother Aniu, "Please help me." I'll taste it."

"Hey, then I'm not going to be polite, thank you son."

Taking the spoon from Jiang Beiran, Ah Niu looked at the light yellow soup in the cauldron against the flakes of oil, and raised the spoon to taste it.

"Ouch! Ouch! I don't even know what to say about this delicious food."

"If it's delicious, you can fill a bowl. I cook a lot."

"Oh, that's so embarrassing." Having said that, Ah Niu's gaze never left the big iron pot.

"You're welcome, here, here's a bowl for you."

After taking the bowl, although Ah Niu was still saying sorry, the spoon in his hand had already been inserted into the pot, but just when he was about to scoop up the second spoonful, he suddenly found that it was coming out from behind the iron pot. One head, he was so scared that he almost spilled all the gravy in the bowl.

"Hush!" Kong Qianqian, who emerged from behind the iron pot, quickly made a silent gesture to A Niu.

A Niu nodded understandingly, and continued to scoop up his soup.

"You want a bowl of meat too?" Jiang Beiran asked Kong Qianqian, who was sneaking over.

"Hey." Kong Qianqian smiled innocently, "Sir, please keep your voice down, don't let my senior sister find out, I came here quietly to eat."

"Hey, you are also afraid that you will be miserable, senior sister." Jiang Beiran said while filling Kong Qianqian with a bowl of meat.

"Thank you, sir." After catching the bowl Jiang Beiran handed over, Kong Qianqian said in a low voice, "Actually, Senior Sister is always nice to me."

"As long as you are happy, eat quickly."

Nodding, Kong Qianqian raised her hair and blew two breaths into the bowl.

"Huh~huh~"

After the heat dissipated, Kong Qianqian picked up the bowl and took a sip of the gravy.

With just one mouthful, Kong Qianqian's eyes burst into a strange light.

"Very rich taste."

After speaking, he scooped up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

After chewing twice, Kong Qianqian stretched out his left hand and began to count: "There are ginger, garlic, sugar, fragrant leaves, wine, and... tangerine peel!"

"What else?" Jiang Beiran asked with a smile.

"Also... what is this spicy flavor? It's not like dogwood or pepper. It has a very peculiar fragrance."

"This is called pepper." Jiang Beiran said and handed a red pepper to Kong Qianqian.

After receiving the pepper, Kong Qianqian sniffed it like a curious kitten.

"Where is this spice? I've never seen it before."

"I planted it myself."

"Wow, sir is amazing."

After praising, Kong Qianqian took another sip of gravy from the bowl, but almost spit it out when he raised his head again.

"Master... senior sister..." Kong Qianqian looked at Mu Yao who was gloomy in front of him and called out, then picked up the bowl and asked courteously: "Senior sister, do you want a bowl too, it's delicious."

But in the next second, Mu Yao directly dragged Kong Qianqian away with the bowl. Halfway there, Mu Yao returned the bowl with some meat left in Kong Qianqian's hand.

"Woo~ my meat, woo..."

Seeing Kong Qianqian being ruthlessly dragged away, A Niu sighed sympathetically, and then continued to eat his hoof.

"Qianqian! What's the matter with you today, what the senior sister said is useless, isn't it!"

Beside the stove, Mu Yao stared at Kong Qianqian and said.

"But...but it's really delicious, senior sister, listen to me, Mr. Jiang has an ingredient called chili, which is very fragrant when used to cook meat, and the gravy..."

Seeing Kong Qianqian talking more and more vigorously, Mu Yao pinched her small face and said: "You are my junior sister, you should ignore that Jiang Beiran with me, why do you always go to him."

"Because it's really fragrant..." Seeing Mu Yao's eyes widening, Kong Qianqian had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, but soon she asked cautiously: "But senior sister, why do you hate Mr. Jiang? What did he do to you? Is it a good thing?"

These questions made Mu Yao stunned.

'Yeah, when did you start hating him? No, it's not really hating... just...'

Feeling confused for a while, Mu Yao shouted back: "You don't have to worry about it, anyway, don't talk to him anymore, go cook."

"Yes~"

Watching Kong Qianqian walk away, Mu Yao lay down on the table and thought about this question seriously.

The first time she remembered the name Jiang Beiran was because he defeated her elder brother, her omnipotent elder brother, which made it difficult for her to accept. Later, when she knew that Jiang Beiran's cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi training It is even more unacceptable.

My eldest brother is such a genius, he would lose to a waste material who only has the fifth level of Qi training.

Although playing chess has nothing to do with cultivation, she just couldn't swallow this breath for her elder brother, so she felt that this disciple who only had Qi training level must have used some dishonorable means to defeat her elder brother. After all, these so-called decent People are the most hypocritical, they are superficial, but in fact they always do whatever it takes to win.

But when I ran to question him, he actually...

call! save! Life!

This made Mu Yao even more angry, her elder brother actually lost to such a spineless person! From then on, she always thought he was not pleasing to her eyes, but Daddy insisted on arranging him to investigate some pornographic gang with her!

The thought of staying with him for decades, or even months, made her feel like she was going crazy, so she tried every means to bring Qianqian with her, in order to make Jiang Beiran more interesting and not bother herself.

Who knew that this journey had just begun, and he seemed to be the one who was isolated.

'Isn't it just that the singing is better, the handwriting is better, and I can cook a few dishes, what's the big deal. '

Just as Mu Yao was thinking more and more, she suddenly heard Jiang Beiran's voice.

"I cooked a little too much noodles, let's eat them instead."

"Okay! Okay!" Kong Qianqian quickly agreed, but just as she agreed, she looked at Mu Yao nervously.

Mu Yao, who was lying on the table, just wanted to stand up and refuse, but the alluring spicy taste made her unable to say anything.

Finally, under Kong Qianqian's careful gaze, Mu Yao stood up and looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Since you want to trade with us so much, then I will reluctantly agree once."

"Oh, it's okay, you don't have to force yourself to do it, I'm trading it with Qianqian, you can eat it as you like."

"You!" Mu Yao glared at Jiang Beiran viciously, but before she could speak, Kong Qianqian hugged her and said, "Mine belongs to senior sister, let's eat together."

"Hmph! Who wants to eat his noodles!"

Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran put two bowls of sweet water noodles on the table, and brought over the other meat and side dishes.

Seeing Kong Qianqian serving her dishes one by one, Jiang Beiran's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Fried tofu, stewed tofu, fried tofu, stuffed tofu, tofu soup…

'Hey, your tofu is in a meeting! '

"Do you like tofu so much?"

Seeing that Kong Qianqian finally brought up a plate of vegetables and tofu, Jiang Beiran couldn't help asking.

"Yes, my senior sister and I both like tofu."

"Okay, then I will make a mapo tofu next time for you to try."

"Ma Po Tofu? Who is Mapo? Forget it, it doesn't matter." Kong Qianqian dragged Mu Yao and said, "Sister, we can eat different tofu now."

"Got it! Isn't it just tofu, why are you so happy, eat quickly."

"Okay~"

With a promise, Kong Qianqian pulled the bowl of sweet water noodles in front of her, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

"Xiao Liu Liu ~ Xi Liu Liu ~"

After two mouthfuls of noodles, this time she didn't have to worry about being heard by her senior sister because of the loud voice, she just patted the table and shouted, "Sir, this noodles are delicious too!"

After speaking, she looked at the sweet water noodles in the bowl with a look of surprise.

It is obviously just a few noodles wrapped in red oil and drizzled with sugar, but the taste is infinitely varied, and the texture on top is mellow and chewy, and you can't stop eating it.

"Xiao Liu Liu ~ Xi Liu Liu ~"

Listening to Kong Qianqian's naughty face, Mu Yao suddenly felt that the vegetables and tofu in her bowl had become tasteless.

"Is... really so delicious?"

Mu Yao looked at Kong Qianqian and asked.

"Yeah! It's really delicious!" Kong Qianqian said while rubbing his face harder.

Seeing that Kong Qianqian had absolutely no intention of letting herself eat, the veins on Mu Yao's forehead bulged again.

"Here's another bowl, you can eat it."

At this time, Jiang Beiran put a bowl of sweet water noodles in front of Mu Yao.

This time Mu Yao didn't push the bowl away, but picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'm just a little tired of tofu, so I want to change the taste, not because I want to eat your noodles."

Jiang Beiran didn't bother to pay attention to her, and ate on his own.

Although Jiang Beiran didn't look at her, Mu Yao was still very reserved and picked up a noodle and put it in her mouth.

As the chewy noodles broke in her mouth, the chewiness made her heart fly.

'What is this red oil made of... how can it be so fragrant, um... try another one, I just want to taste how the red oil is made, um! That's it. '

Convincing herself in her heart, Mu Yao picked up another noodle and ate it.

Then the third root, the fourth root, the fifth six seven eighty nine...

A bowl of sweet water noodles was quickly eaten by her.

"Huh..." Seeing that there was not a single noodle left in the bowl, Mu Yao couldn't help being a little shy, but she was relieved when she found that the other two didn't look at her.

'That meat... I don't know what it tastes like. '

Seeing Kong Qianqian's satisfied face after eating the meat, Mu Yao couldn't help swallowing again.

'no! Isn't it just food? How can a cultivator be greedy for his appetite! '

After training herself in her heart, Mu Yao continued to take the plate containing tofu and started to eat, but she couldn't finish it after only two bites.

"Obviously, I felt that Qianqian Tofu was pretty good..."

"Senior sister, don't eat tofu, try this quickly, this is much better than tofu." Kong Qianqian said while putting a plate of Maoxuewang in front of Mu Yao.

"What is this?" Mu Yao asked.

"I don't know either." Kong Qianqian shook his head, looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Sir, what's the name of this dish?"

"Maoxuewang is made from duck blood."

"Blood!?" Kong Qianqian and Mu Yao were shocked at the same time.

"Yes."

"Can duck blood be eaten?" Kong Qianqian asked.

"Aren't you delicious?"

"Yes." Kong Qianqian continued to eat hard after finishing speaking.

At this time, Jiang Beiran suddenly asked curiously: "What did you put in this Maoxuewang, can you eat it?"

Hearing Jiang Beiran's question, Kong Qianqian slowed down his chewing speed a little and replied, "Well...it tastes like chicken soup."

"Oh? Your tongue is really powerful."

"Hey." Kong Qianqian who was praised foolishly smiled, "My father is a cook, so I have eaten a lot of delicious food."

"Have you tasted anything else?"

"Hmm... There are peppers, coriander, and the same red oil as in the noodles."

"Yes, I do have some talent for cooking."

"Then sir, you can accept me as an apprentice. You will teach me in the future, and I will make it for you."

"cough!"

Hearing the senior sister's cough, Kong Qianqian decided to continue eating with her head down.

Practitioners' appetites are much larger than normal people's, and soon the whole table was eaten up, even Kong Qianqian's "tofu family" was eaten up with Jiang Beiran's fried third-line meat.

During the period, Mu Yao saw that no one was paying attention to her, and secretly ate a few mouthfuls of Maoxuewang, but if no one saw this kind of thing, she didn't eat it, so she thought that she still kept the bottom line.

After eating and drinking enough, they packed all the kitchen utensils into the Qiankun ring, and the four returned to the minniu cart to continue their journey.

After walking for a day and a night, I saw A Niu who was standing on the side of the road, lifted the curtain and asked, "Young Master Jiang, there is a small town ahead, do you want to go there and find an inn to rest?"

Before Jiang Beiran could speak, Kong Qianqian shouted, "Okay, okay! Let's go shopping in the town." After speaking, he grabbed Mu Yao's arm and said, "How about it, senior sister?"

"I really can't do anything about you, then go to the town and find an inn to settle down."

Jiang Beiran on the side was about to speak when he saw three options popping up in front of him.

[Option 1: Everyone goes to town together. Completion Reward: Entangling Heart Phantom (Mysterious Middle Grade)]

[Option 2: Let Kong Qianqian and Mu Yao go to the town. Completion reward: Glazed Festival (top yellow grade)]

[Option 3: Don’t go to town. Completion reward: random basic attribute points +1]

'Just know... Fortunately, I have prepared in advance. '

The reason why Jiang Beiran likes to be a lone ranger most of the time is because he knows that if someone walks with him, that person will be targeted by the world together.

Take the current incident as an example, if Mu Yao and the others came here by themselves, they probably wouldn't encounter too much trouble going to the town ahead, but when they were with him, the trouble would be infinitely magnified.
