Chapter 815 Crying Cicadas and Red Ants Make Lotus Bloom
Back in the cave, Wang Ruyi was so tired that her legs were sore, but looking at the four walls, there was only a small area with soft grass, and the rest was empty, not even a place to sit down, not even "simple".
So before enjoying the food, she begged Li Changxiao to use his exquisite swordsmanship to carve out some stone chairs and stone tables, and preferably a stone bed. Her voice was charming, and her talent for acting coquettish was really amazing, and she learned it without a teacher.

Li Changxiao thought, even if there is a delicious food, if there is no corresponding eating utensils, just grab it directly, isn't it the same as a savage? He is easy-going by nature, no different from a savage, and doesn't think it's wrong. But dragging the dignified empress into the water is very wrong.
So before cooking, Li Changxiao jumped down the mountain and carried a few large stones. Because the island is rich in supplies, there are many exquisite jades in the mountains and fields, and the color, size and texture are impeccable. Li Changxiao can use them to carve furniture, which is perfect.
Moreover, Li Changxiao's swordsmanship is natural and flexible. He can cut iron like mud with a horizontal chop and a vertical chisel. It is a laborious job, but in his hands, it is like writing and painting, which makes people indulge in it. Looking forward to the finished product.
In a short while, a lotus throne appeared. Wang Ruyi exclaimed and hurried to watch. She thought that the lotus was lifelike, beautiful in shape and rich in meaning. The whole body was like a natural whole, and there was no crack at all.
She tried to sit down and felt that there was always a place to bloom after a day of fatigue. She couldn't help thinking that the sea was so calm, it was definitely not a small matter. But it was hard to say how big a matter it was. It is possible that the sea eye will move abnormally, and the whole world will be destroyed and killed. If this is true, the two of them will probably be trapped on the island for life.
So, does this count as men farming and women weaving? She thought of the hard work during the day and chuckled. It should be the other way around. Now it is "women farming and men weaving".
The more she thought about it, the more she felt happy. She looked at Li Changxiao, and he raised his sword and chiseled out jade bowls, jade chopsticks, jade tables, jade chairs... In the simple cave, there are all exquisite jades, as if they were made by nature, and there is no sign of human hands.
Li Changxiao's aesthetics are indeed not bad, and he didn't think the cave was crude. But when all the jades were placed, it was like a green lotus growing in the mud, and a pearl hidden in a humble room. Compared with the two, they are not quite suitable.
After doing all this, it was just a little warm-up. Li Changxiao raised his sleeves and shouted in a low voice. Compared with the enemy "Viper Red Bear", this kind of prehistoric beast, he was very serious.
No matter how strong and difficult the belly snake red bear is, Li Changxiao will always have a way to deal with it. But if the meal is messed up this night, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Whenever I think of it in the future, I will definitely beat my chest and stamp my feet, regretting it endlessly. In order to prevent this from happening, Li Changxiao should devote all his heart and soul, and dare not hide his shortcomings.
Li Changxiao took out "Shanhai Xianza Xiaoji" and opened the 64th page, which was titled "Clear Water Emerges Lotus", recording the recipe of a strange dish.
Li Changxiao had traveled to the ruins of major sects, not only comprehending the techniques, perceptions, and principles, but also the strange cooking methods. Whenever he saw strange dishes and rare dishes, he would carefully record them and attach his own experience and perceptions.
The two main ingredients of this "Clear Water Emerges Lotus" are Immaculate Divine Water and Lotus in the Ground. Li Changxiao especially remembered that when he saw this dish, his saliva was flowing, and for several days in a row, he dreamed of tasting it.
Unexpectedly...
The sea eye moved strangely, and the world was quiet. On the eve of a big event, it happened by chance.
The production of "Water Lily" is much more difficult than rubbing out a magical skill. Not to mention the complicated steps, it is also extremely demanding for dexterity.
Li Changxiao first built a fire, boiled ordinary spring water, and then poured it on the "ground chicken", burning it for half an hour. Then use a jade needle to pick out all the chicken feathers one by one. Don't touch the chicken on the way, otherwise it will turn black and smelly at the last step, and all the work will be wasted, and two magical objects will be wasted.
It's not easy to pick out the chicken feathers, and the internal organs need to be processed. Then use a similar method to process the "Water Spirit Turtle", "Silver Rabbit", and "Lying Wood Snake".
The five kinds of beasts follow the principles of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and take the most essential parts of each, boil them into soup, and then combine them to condense into essence. The ingredients cannot be touched by hand during the whole process, and need to be completed with a jade needle. It can really be regarded as a "technical job".
The last "fire mouth ant" was kept still and put in a jade bowl.
Then the three flying birds were processed, "heavenly rare bird", "earthly fragrant bee" and "crying cicada". These three types of ingredients follow the principles of "heaven", "earth" and "man", and are even more troublesome to handle. Many steps are difficult to complete without spiritual energy.
The heart of the heavenly rare bird is taken, and the belly of the earthly fragrant bee is specially stored in the pollen honey, which is very sweet and delicious.
In this way. After a busy time, it became deeper. Because there were no clouds in the sky, the full moon was also very eye-catching. Even if you look further, you can see a corner of the sun.
When the essence of the five elements, the charm of heaven, earth and man, all gathered together, and then sprinkled with a layer of honey, the soup turned golden. It was already a rare delicacy, and Wang Ruyi's appetite was excited, and he wanted to drink a mouthful immediately. But Li Changxiao told him that if he wanted to eat the rare delicacy, he had to be patient for now.
Wang Ruyi nodded, forced himself to be calm, and looked at it with expectation. Li Changxiao washed the lotus and placed it on the soup. Covered it with a jade lid and simmered it for an hour.
When he opened the lid, the essence of the soup had been completely absorbed by the lotus. Li Changxiao used the Qingping sword to pick up the pure divine water and gently poured it on the lotus.
Wang Ruyi asked, "Water lilies come out of clear water, water lilies come out of clear water, why can't I see lotus flowers blooming when the water is clear?" He was very disappointed. Although he knew that this dish took a lot of effort and must be very delicious. But he was always disappointed that he didn't see the scene of "water lilies coming out of clear water".
Li Chang laughed and said, "There is another sentence about this dish." He took out a crying cicada from his arms and gently pinched it. The crying cicada made bursts of crying sounds. The next moment, the petals of the lotus in the ground opened.
Rounds of golden light overflowed. The colorful clouds flew together, thousands of beasts galloped, and the indescribable fragrance spread.
Li Chang laughed and said, "The crying cicada and the red ants made the lotus open, and the ingenuity of nature was completely surpassed by nature." Wang Ruyi saw that the petals were actually carried by the red ants.
The whole dish not only contains the principles of the five elements, but also the natural rhyme of heaven and earth. Just taking a breath of the fragrance is like ascending to heaven.
