Chapter 223 Pork Cracklings
Accompanied by occasional coughs, Su Mo walked into Long Li's courtyard.
Colorful gems were scattered everywhere on the floor, and the tables and chairs were all made of gold.
Besides Long Li, who was lying in bed with her skin turning purple, and two dragon guards, Shen Wenchun was also there.
The moment the two dragon guards saw Su Mo, they became alert, their eyes filled with vigilance and annoyance.
"Third senior brother."
Shen Wenchun greeted Su Mo respectfully as he entered.
Compared to Su Mo's dark-colored robe with subtle patterns and Long Li's gold-embroidered robe.
Wearing ordinary disciple's robes, Shen Wenchun exuded an air of maturity beyond his years.
Su Mo walked over, his sickly face unnaturally pale. He glanced at Long Li on the golden bed.
"Cough cough... He's not dead yet."
Immediately, Su Mo curled his lips and exclaimed, "As expected of the Dragon Clan."
Feng Zhao and Yu Zhao drew their weapons in an instant.
"Ahem, don't rush, I'm here to deliver medicine." With that, Su Mo took out a medicine bottle and tossed it to the two guards.
Feng Zhao caught the medicine bottle.
Yu Zhao clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Who believes you!"
Su Mo shrugged, his eyes as cold as a venomous snake. "Believe it or not, let your Second Prince never wake up again! It's good that he's dead. They say dragon blood has miraculous effects, I wonder if it's true..."
"You! If the Dragon King finds out, he won't let you off!" Yu Zhao glared angrily.
"Ahem...Then let that old geezer come find me."
As Su Mo spoke, he vanished from the room in an instant.
Yu Zhao tried to rush out, but Feng Zhao stopped her, saying, "Don't act rashly, the Second Prince is the most important person."
Although Yu Zhao's cultivation level is higher than Su Mo's, Su Mo can use rare poisons.
It is said that the deputy sect leader of the Xuanming Sect died at the hands of Su Mo.
Yu Zhao snorted and glanced worriedly at their Second Prince, "Brother Feng, can this antidote be used?"
Feng Zhao also hesitated.
They dared not use the things Su Mo gave them.
No need, the Second Prince is now...
"Catch a flying insect and you'll know for sure," Shen Wenchun said.
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhao and Yu Zhao immediately nodded to Shen Wenchun.
Yu Zhao ran out, "I'll go catch it."
After a while...
Looking at the rabbit, which stopped struggling in the blink of an eye.
Yu Zhao smashed the medicine bottle.
Shen Wenchun sighed softly.
Thinking of the cute and endearing junior brother he had met, he couldn't imagine how his second senior brother could bear to hurt him.
It's understandable that the junior brother doesn't want to talk to them.
Hopefully, he can gradually make amends and thaw the ice between them and his junior brother.
......
In just over two hours, Yun Ci harvested a large field of "fields" and several hundred Dream Moon Grass plants.
A gentle breeze blows, and the large cotton balls sway in the wind.
It looks just like a sea.
It's so dreamy and beautiful!
Yun Ci asked Xiao Hong to pick the cotton balls; he was trying to grow the Crimson Spirit Fruit.
The green wood elemental energy was continuously channeled into the moist soil.
A quarter of an hour passed, and all the vegetables in the spirit fields were ripe, but not a single green sprout had emerged from the spirit field where the Crimson Spirit Fruit was grown.
Yun Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, feeling a bit weak, and stopped channeling wood elemental energy.
Xia Zixuan said that the Crimson Spirit Fruit only bears fruit once every few thousand years, and the Crimson Spirit Fruit tree takes ten thousand years to grow. Even his wood elemental power can't do it...?
I used too much wood elemental power and I'm too tired. I need to rest for a bit.
Yun Ci walked to the soft cloth and sat down.
*
When Chu Ziming opened his eyes, he saw Yun Ci lying asleep beside him, her long, curled eyelashes casting shadows on her eyelids, her breathing deep and quiet.
Chu Ziming took out a piece of clothing from his storage bag and covered Yun Ci with it.
He shifted his body to block the sunlight, then picked up a book to read while eating snacks from the wooden table.
Disciples from various peaks in the distance were also resting, chatting, and meditating on the grass nearby.
Several female cultivators, seeing that Yun Ci was asleep, walked over to check on him with bright eyes.
Several female cultivators did not forget to call their good sisters.
The afternoon was quiet and peaceful.
*
As time flows silently on, the sun slowly but steadily moves westward.
Yun Ci opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.
"Yun Ci, are you awake?" Chu Zimo put down his book.
"Little Daddy, you're awake?" Little Ginseng's mouth was covered in seaweed crumbs.
"Chirp?" Yun Ci?
"Ow?"
Yun Ci turned his head and saw the people surrounding him and the little guy.
In an instant, Yun Ci felt relieved.
Yun Ci felt very happy to see the person she cared about most when she woke up.
"Mmm! I'm awake. Hmm... It's been so long since I took a nap. It feels so good."
Yun Ci leaned back against Chu Zimo and stretched.
Chu Ziming chuckled foolishly as Yun Ci leaned against his back.
After sitting for a while, Yun Ci thought it was time to go back. Before leaving, she put the Mianmian Ball, Dream Moon Grass, and vegetables from the field into her storage ring.
There are superior spiritual fields here. Timid Mushroom originally didn't want to go back, but seeing so many humans, she went back with Yun Ci.
......
Back in the yard, Da Zong had already kneaded a lot of dough to make hamburger buns.
Yun Ci looked at it and saw that the dough for the first part had already risen.
You can bake it directly.
Yun Ci first took out the sweet potatoes to wash. After hiring people to help him grow vegetables over the past few days, the vegetables in his storage ring had already piled up into a small mountain.
After washing the sweet potatoes, Yun Ci placed them one by one into the large oven that Chu Zi Mo had just made that day.
Let's make roasted sweet potatoes for today's food delivery.
Soft, chewy, sweet, warm, and filling!
After roasting the sweet potatoes, Yun Ci went to the well and washed her hands again.
"Yun Ci, Yun Ci..." Chu Zimo followed behind Yun Ci.
He followed Yun Ci wherever she went.
Beside the sink, beside the vegetable garden, inside the house, in the kitchen...
The figures of the two young boys could be seen everywhere in the courtyard.
The three little guys were playing with the chicks in the yard.
Seeing that the lard in the lard jar was almost used up and there wouldn't be enough for frying, Yun Ci decided to render more lard first.
Rendering lard typically involves using pork fat.
Yun Ci cut the thick, white pork fat into small pieces.
The pigs raised by the breeding company are large, and the pieces of pork fat are also particularly large.
Pour clear well water into two large pots, put the chopped pork fat into the pots to blanch, add wine and white vinegar to remove the fishy smell and impurities.
Before the water boils, remove the pork fat, clean the pot, and add water again.
Then add the lard and some wine, and slowly simmer it until the moisture evaporates and the oil is released.
Once all the water has evaporated, reduce the heat to low and simmer slowly.
After the lard was rendered, Yunci filtered it through a strainer and poured it into a lard jar.
The pork cracklings in the pot are also edible.
After all the oil was poured out, it was boiled for a while longer, and some more oil was extracted, making the fried food even crispier.
Yun Ci ladled out the freshly rendered oil and pork cracklings.
The kitchen was filled with delicious aromas.
The pork cracklings looked shiny and oily, and Yun Ci picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
Click click click.
Fragrant!
Yun Ci took another large piece and put it into Chu Ziming's mouth. "How is it? Isn't it delicious?"
"Mmm! It smells so good!"
