Lu Xiaoxiao practiced the movements in the book a few more times, but still felt nothing like the first time.
She looked at the time and it was already nine o'clock, so she decided to practice until here today. Although she didn't practice as written in the book today, at least she had memorized the moves and could perform all the moves in a row, so it was okay. Not entirely without gain.
Lu Xiaoxiao was sitting on the kang, drinking soy milk and eating steamed buns. She was thinking about what to eat for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner.
After finishing breakfast, she finally decided on the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner.
She plans to cook ten dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, namely braised fish, braised pork ribs, large plate of chicken, pickled fish, steamed seafood, braised food platter, fried food platter, old duck soup, fried winter bamboo shoots, and dumplings, which just means perfection.
Today she can prepare the time-consuming dishes first and put them away, so she won't be in a hurry tomorrow.
The first thing is to stew old duck soup. Lu Xiaoxiao took out a prepared duck from the space and chopped it into small pieces. After blanch it, wash it and put it in a casserole. Add ginger and pickled radish, cover it and simmer over low heat.
Then came the marinade. She took out the brine from last time and poured it into the pot, added some seasonings, and then put her favorite vegetables in to marinate.
The last step was to fry things. Since it was difficult to control the temperature in a large pot, she went to the space and used a small pot to fry radish balls, meatballs, small crispy pork and lotus root clips.
She worked all day from morning to night to prepare these three dishes. She was really exhausted.
After taking a bath, Lu Xiaoxiao was not hungry, so she decided to skip dinner. She climbed into bed and lay down for a while, making salted fish, then got up and started practicing.
Lu Xiaoxiao guided the gas to circulate in her body, circle after circle, faster and faster. Suddenly she heard a click and felt that another barrier in her body was broken, and she successfully entered the second level of Qi training.
This time she did not stand up immediately, but once again introduced Qi into her body to consolidate her meridians. She had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running away. Her novels were not in vain.
The book said that many people tend to have unstable foundations because they were promoted too quickly. She didn't know if she was promoted too quickly, but she should be careful. Consolidating her meridians was always beneficial to her cultivation.
It was already the next morning after Lu Xiaoxiao consolidated her meridians more than ten times, so she quit practicing and went to the living room to start practicing the exercises.
She practiced the technique more than ten times this morning, and her movements became more and more proficient, and she could be said to be as smooth as a cloud, but she just couldn't reach the state described in the book.
In fact, in the process of cultivation, she always felt that she was very close to reaching the state written in the book, but she could never find the entrance. Could it be that her opportunity had not arrived?
Forget it, let everything take its course.
Today is New Year's Eve, and Lu Xiaoxiao will continue to cook New Year's Eve dinner. She steamed the seafood first to make room for it, then continued to make braised fish, braised pork ribs, a large plate of chicken and pickled fish. Finally, she fried winter bamboo shoots and scooped out a plate of dumplings. The New Year's Eve dinner was finally ready.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Lu Xiaoxiao had a particularly high sense of accomplishment. She never thought that she could cook so many dishes by herself.
She picked up her chopsticks and began to taste each dish. This dish was delicious, that dish was delicious, but why were they all so delicious? She shamelessly commented on the dishes while amusing herself.
During the Chinese New Year, reunion night, almost every household would gather together to have a reunion dinner and watch the New Year's Eve. However, she spent the New Year's Eve alone, although she tried hard to pretend to be happy, but she was really lonely inside.
The more Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more depressed she became. Just when her tears were about to flow out of her eyes, she suddenly heard a loud bang in the backyard, which scared her tears away. At this moment, she couldn't care less about being sad. She It's better to go and see what's going on in the backyard first. Is it possible that some wild beast ran into it? After all, she was at the foot of the mountain.
