Chapter 95
The room where Xing Lihua was enshrined has never changed.
The narrow single bed was covered with a bamboo mat. The fine hemp rope on the mat had been broken several times and was carefully connected by the owner.
There is a simple bamboo pillow on the mat, and coarse cloth sheets are neatly folded under the bamboo pillow. The girl's light body fragrance is lingering in every part of the room, like the fragrance of magnolia flowers.
There was a half-empty bottle of white wine and a small mirror on the bedside. Xuan Yi saw his black eyes in the mirror.
It's great to be back.
It's great to be back alive.
Xuan Yi thought this and walked towards the kitchen.
Their wooden house is divided into four rooms. The outermost room is their own room, which is the largest and serves as their bedroom, dining room and living room.
Xing Lihua's room is even smaller and can only accommodate a bed, a chair and a dressing table.
Walking further inside, there are the kitchen and the bathroom. The bathroom is exclusively for Xing Lihua. If Xuan Yi needs to get up at night, he will go directly to the toilet outside the house.
A house like theirs definitely doesn't have running water, so under the chopping board in the kitchen is a large pottery vat filled with clean water from a sweet water well half a mile away.
Xuan Yi took the burning candle and checked the basket containing the ingredients.
Before he left, he bought enough ingredients for a month and asked Uncle Da to deliver them every three days. Now it seems that although there is not much left, it is still enough for one person to eat for a week.
He thought for a while, fixed the candle on the wooden windowsill, then picked up a table knife and peeled the potatoes.
There is no doubt that Xuan Yi is ready to cook, even if it is not for himself.
He was going to be a sacrifice to the evil god.
Since coming back, he has not mentioned to anyone that he once sacrificed to the evil god, nor would he be stupid enough to mention it. Even Jiao Yue might have guessed that he used some extraordinary means to get the stone that would save them from the deep. The rocks were brought out by the stream, but she was not interested in knowing more.
Although just like what Xuan Yi said to Jiao Yue, as long as Jiao Yue gives the right price, he will sell everything he owns except his sister, whether it is Xuan Er or the method of contacting the evil god.
It's a pity that Jiaoyue is not interested.
The funny evil god left a deep impression on Xuan Yi last time. Fortunately, he had the ANBU's standard rations with him that time. Naturally, he couldn't be empty-handed when he summoned him this time.
Judging from the last experience, this evil god doesn't seem to like eating meat very much. After all, in addition to chocolate nuts and dried milk, he also had meat floss, beef jerky and other obviously more delicious foods in his backpack. None moved.
Therefore, although there is still half a tail of salted fish and dried mutton that is suitable for making soup in the basket, Xuan Yi still plans to be on the safe side and make vegetarian dishes.
After all, when it comes to serving the evil god, you don't seek merit, but you seek no faults.
There are two stoves in the kitchen. Since Hoshimori County is rich in coal, the price of local coal is quite low, and every household can afford briquettes made of a mixture of anthracite and loess. Xing Lihua only works the night shift, and does not go home every day, so the stove is not turned off at this time. Xuan Yi just changes the briquettes, opens the air outlet, first fills the steamer with water, and then covers the steamer with a white cloth. Add two bowls of rice on top, sprinkle some water on it, and then cover it with a steamer basket.
After steaming the rice, Xuan Yi began to prepare the dishes.
There are actually very few ingredients he can use. Firstly, when he bought vegetables, he only wanted them to be cheap and storable. Secondly, except for meat, the available ingredients are even more scarce. Apart from condiments, there are only potatoes, cabbage and Onions are the three things.
But Xuan Yi was unambiguous in making it. He first peeled the potatoes, cut one-third into shreds, cut one-third into French fries, and mashed the other third directly into mashed potatoes. Then cut one-third of the onions into shreds, make one-third into onion rings, and chop the other third into minced green onions. The final processing of the cabbage is much simpler. Just tear it into pieces piece by piece and prepare it. Shredded cabbage.
At this time, the oil pan is already hot. Xuanyi first mixes the mashed potatoes and minced green onions, adds a little flour and water, then mixes in salt and black pepper, stuffs them into finger-wide onion rings, and presses them into shapes to make onion potatoes. Place the pancakes in hot oil and fry until cooked, sprinkle with fine salt and serve on a plate.
The first course, fried onion hash browns.
After finishing the first dish, there was still a lot of hot oil in the pot. Xuan Yi poured the remaining fries in and continued to fry them and put them on the plate. Since there were no tomatoes or ready-made tomato sauce on hand, he could only sprinkle salt on them. and black pepper to make a salt-and-pepper flavor.
Second dish, salt and pepper fries.
After frying the fries, there was not much oil left in the pot. Xuan Yi poured in the shredded potatoes and onions and stir-fried them together. He added a few chili peppers and ginger slices, drizzled with a little balsamic vinegar and took it out of the pot.
The third dish is stir-fried double shreds.
After preparing these three dishes, Xuan Yi cleans the pot and then pours in a little rapeseed oil. When the oil is hot, add pepper powder and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add shredded ginger, dried chili segments, garlic cloves and chopped green onions in turn. Stir-fry. Add the torn cabbage, stir-fry a few times, add a little balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with salt, stir and serve.
The fourth dish is hand-shredded cabbage.
After finishing these four dishes, the rice was already fragrant. Xuan Yi took a basin to put the rice, then put a little salt, chopped green onions, minced onions, a little vinegar, a pinch of tea leaves in the bowl, and then steamed it Pour a little boiling water in the pot to make a simple sour soup.
Four dishes, one rice and one soup are all ready within forty minutes.
Then Xuan Yi placed these dishes and rice on the floor, took out three candles and arranged them one after another, used a kitchen knife to cut open his hand, and used his own blood to draw that picture on the floor. Although he had only painted it once, it was no longer there. A sacrificial circle that will be forgotten.
After all this was done, Xuan Yi knelt in front of the magic circle and began to recite the other party's secret name.
"The eternal Lord above the ice lake."
"The vast master of frost and snow."
"The final posthumous son, the only remaining divinity in the world." "
I pray to you for help, I need the sharpest spear in the world, To pierce an unbreakable shield."
The candle burned quietly, the wick making a slight beeping sound in the flame.
But Xuan Yi still felt that there was an unparalleled great power coming slowly from a distance.
In fact, as he officially entered the realm of enlightenment, he became more and more sensitive to the spiritual sensations of these powerful beings.
So he clearly realized that compared with the last time he prayed deep in the cave, this coming was obviously slower and more difficult. This not only proved that this evil god really lived in the Forest of Death, but also that the Forest of Death The terrifying barrier outside, where one is allowed in but not allowed out, has a real impact and restriction on him.
This shows that this evil god is currently in a restricted state of unfreedom.
Then, the flame of the candle slowly solidified, and Xuan Yi's actions were completely restricted again.
He felt the funny evil god regrouping in front of him, but he didn't speak for a while.
Just when Xuan Yi wondered whether he had passed through the barrier and turned himself mute, the other party slowly spoke in a hoarse and indescribable voice.
"Thank you, thank you for your sacrifice."
(Xuan Yi is really virtuous==
Also, I recycled a small foreshadowing in the first chapter.
And I feel like I’m writing a food-themed novel.
Also——Miss Lin Wei comes out again ==)
