"How do you know this?" Dorian asked curiously.
"This is a secret, I can't tell you." Long Xiaonian stuck out his tongue and said.
Dolin nodded. He really didn't want to know some of the barbarian's secrets. Anyway, he already knew what he wanted to know, and that was enough.
"Is life good here?" Dolin suddenly asked.
"How should I put it? The environment is similar to that of the clan. However, the true energy and spiritual veins have not yet stabilized after being grafted." Long Xiaonian pouted and said.
"If you need my help, just ask." Dolin said in a deep voice.
"It's nothing. The elders in the clan have been maintaining it there recently."
With the addition of Long Xiaonian, Daolin felt inexplicably more at ease. She could face the undefeated existence of four gods alone.
"I want to eat the food you cooked, can you cook it for me?" Long Xiaonian suddenly asked.
"What do you want to eat?" Dolin nodded and said no problem.
"I want to eat stir-fried vegetables!" Long Xiaonian said excitedly.
Dolin nodded and looked around. There were no villages around, so he said that he would find a village and borrow a stove for her to cook. After all, it was too laborious to build the stove by himself.
Long Xiaonian happily agreed, and she took Daolin to the west direction. After walking for about a hundred miles, Daolin saw a small town.
This town is indeed not big. It is located in a mountain valley. Fortunately, the mountain is not high and there is a clear water river. It can be regarded as a paradise.
"How do you know this place?" Dorian asked.
"One night I couldn't sleep, so I ran out to play. I felt a strong aura fluctuation here. It didn't look like a warrior's, so I came over to investigate. Unfortunately, I walked around and found nothing. As you know , I am a person who doesn’t like to give up easily, so I come here to hang out whenever I have nothing to do, and after going back and forth, I get familiar with the people here." Long Xiaonian explained.
Daolin also became interested. A strong aura usually means that some divine product has come to the world or someone is practicing some large-scale skills. Of course, there are other situations, but Daolin doesn't know about it.
"Girl Long is here..." As Long Xiaonian entered the town, someone immediately greeted her.
"Old man Liu is still strong, isn't he?" Long Xiaonian also replied enthusiastically.
"Thanks to you, I'm still strong." Old man Liu said with a smile.
Another woman walked out of Old Uncle Liu's house. She smiled and asked Long Xiaonian: "Long girl, is this your man?"
"Aunt Liu, don't talk nonsense..." Long Xiaonian shook his head with red cheeks.
"This kid is so shy. Remember to call us when you are waiting for dinner, and we will give you a big red envelope." Aunt Liu said with a smile.
Long Xiaonian lowered his head shyly and walked away, while Daolin smiled and nodded at the Liu family.
He didn't need to explain anything to these people. It seemed like a good thing to keep them entertained for a whole day.
Along the way, people kept saying hello to Long Xiaonian, and Long Xiaonian also greeted them one by one.
"Let's stay here." Long Xiaonian led Daolin to a small door.
Dorian looked at the plaque erected by the door, which read 'Have a full meal'.
"What a funny name," Dowling said with a smile.
"The owner of this restaurant is Uncle Li. The small restaurant can make a living. On weekdays, some folks from the town come here to eat and drink. It can be considered as a living expenses."
"Girl Long is trying to kill me again..." At this moment, a chubby middle-aged man walked out of the restaurant.
The moment the other party appeared, Dolin smelled a vague aura of hostility. He quickly tried to feel it again, but he could no longer feel it.
Dolin took a deep look at Uncle Li. It seemed that the reason why this town was not simple was probably because of him.
"Come in and tell me, what do you want to eat today? Uncle Li will cook it for you." Uncle Li greeted the two of them into the room.
Walking into the house, Dolin suddenly felt a little cold. This coldness was not cold because of the low temperature, but coldness from the heart.
But when Dolin wanted to carefully explore the source of the cold feeling, this feeling disappeared instantly.
"Uncle Li, I want to eat the dry-roasted prawns you made!" Long Xiaonian said.
"Okay, do you want to eat anything else?" Uncle Li asked with a smile.
"You can do whatever else you want. Don't do too much, so as not to waste it." Long Xiaonian said with a smile.
Uncle Li responded and went to work.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with this place?" Dorian asked in a low voice.
"Are you talking about the coolness? I asked Uncle Li, there is a big ice cellar under our feet, so there will be some cold air coming up." Long Xiaonian said.
Daolin nodded on the surface, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart. The coldness of the ice cellar didn't feel like this at all. It was because Long Xiaonian was so nervous that he could be fooled so easily.
Dolin remained alert until Uncle Li brought the three dishes.
What caught Dolin's attention was one of the three dishes, the braised prawns. His eyes showed a little surprise. The quality of the braised prawns was definitely high enough.
"How are these prawns made?" Daolin asked, clasping his fists at Uncle Li.
"Hahahaha...want to steal my master?" Uncle Li asked as he sat down with a smile.
"The boy is just curious. With a little thought, he will treat him as a disciple." Daolin clasped his fists again, took out a hundred taels of silver ingot and put it on the table.
Seeing the hundred taels of silver ingots, Li Bo suddenly beamed.
"I'll just say it once, how much you can remember depends on your own ability." Li Bo said with a smile and began to talk.
"First, use a kitchen knife to slice the lean meat into large slices horizontally, then cut it into even thin shreds, then stack the shredded meat together and cut into minced meat for later use."
"Clean up the shrimps, go to all the places where they should go, and then open the back."
"Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is 50% hot, pour the chopped minced meat into the pan and stir-fry quickly to prevent the minced meat from sticking. When the minced meat is cooked, add salt and cooking wine, then add the minced onion, ginger and bean paste. The bean chili sauce is homemade by me, you want to pay extra!”
Daolin nodded happily and motioned to Uncle Li to continue.
"After the aroma of the condiments is stir-fried, add three spoons of clear soup, and then move the minced meat wok to a low heat to heat."
"Need two pots?" asked Dorian.
Li Bo nodded and continued: "Pull up another wok. When the oil temperature reaches 50% heat, put the large prawns prepared in advance into the wok one by one. Don't stir them at this time. Hold the pot and stir-fry a little. But, wait until the shrimps are cooked until both sides turn red, then add a large amount of shredded onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell and enhance the freshness."
Dolin listened carefully and went through the steps described by Uncle Li in his mind.
"What's next?" Dowling asked impatiently. The reason why he was so anxious was because by practicing in his mind, the prawns made this way would indeed taste better.
