Chapter 220 Roasted Sweet Potatoes
"Little Daddy, I'll go feed the spirit chicken for you."
"Chewmi."
Little Ginseng and Little White ran over hand in hand, each carrying a storage bag.
Little Black followed behind, bouncing along.
"Okay, go ahead, be careful."
Yun Ci patted their heads and took out the Linglong Grass from his storage ring for the three little ones.
"Uh-huh!"
The three little ones ran out carrying the exquisite grass.
"Cluck cluck, cluck cluck..."
The crowing of a rooster came from outside the courtyard.
Pickling salted duck eggs is quite simple.
Yun Ci went to the kitchen and first put the sweet potatoes into the oven.
Then, Da Zong poured the freshly drawn well water into two large pots, and placed a red flint under the stove.
Pour a large pot of well water into two large pots, bring it to a boil over high heat, then add a generous amount of salt and Sichuan peppercorns. Stir well with a spoon to dissolve the salt.
After letting it cool naturally, Yun Ci poured the salt and pepper water into a ceramic jar, and then put in the sun-dried duck eggs.
Xiao Hong was also helping out.
The several hundred duck eggs were processed in ten large ceramic jars and more than twenty small ceramic jars.
After filling the pot, Yunci used a large spoon to pour the remaining salt and pepper water from the pot into each ceramic jar.
Make sure the salt and pepper water completely covers the large duck eggs in the jar.
Simply cover it with a lid, wrap it in a cloth, and place it in a cool, shady corner of the kitchen.
The pickled cabbage, pickled cucumbers, and salted vegetables in the corner have all been pickled.
Since it was taking up too much space, Yun Ci put it into her storage ring.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
Yun Ci estimated that it was about time, walked over and opened the oven lid, and the sweet aroma became even stronger.
Yunci used chopsticks to pick out the roasted sweet potato.
Each roasted sweet potato was roasted until oil was released and stuck to its skin.
Peel back the brown skin, and steam immediately rises out, revealing the sweet potato inside, roasted until soft, sticky, and oozing with honey.
It looks incredibly sweet!
Outside the yard.
Yun Ci and the three little ones sat on stools in a row, each holding a bowl and scooping out sweet and sticky roasted sweet potatoes with a spoon. The scene was warm and cozy.
Perhaps it's because these sweet potatoes were grown in top-quality spiritual fields; not only are they large, but they also contain a richer spiritual energy.
Yun Ci was full after eating one.
While we were eating roasted sweet potatoes, another batch of roasted sweet potatoes came out of the oven.
Yun Ci wrapped several roasted sweet potatoes in a paper bag and took out the Nine Heavens Travel Book.
"Little Daddy".
Now, whenever Little Ginseng sees Yun Ci take out the Nine Heavens Shuttle Book, he reflexively stops what he's doing.
She immediately ran over and hugged Yun Ci's leg.
"Chewmi."
Xiao Bai jumped onto Yun Ci's shoulder.
"Ow."
Xiao Hei glanced at Yun Ci, then at the fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potatoes in the rice bowl.
He ran over carrying the rice bowl.
Yun Ci, “…”
"Uh, I'll be right back, really!"
The three little ones wouldn't let go (mouth), staring intently at Yun Ci.
In the end, Yun Ci took the three little ones to the Pill Pavilion to find Grandpa Huaiyuan.
He went there for two reasons: first, to deliver roasted sweet potatoes to Grandpa Huaiyuan; and second, because Chu Ziming was about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and he had a high-grade Dream Moon Grass, which he wanted Grandpa Huaiyuan to help him refine a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"So sweet!" Elder Guaiyuan took a bite of the roasted sweet potato and patted Yun Ci's head with a loving expression. "Grandpa saw today that you have reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. You will be close to Foundation Establishment soon. I have already prepared Foundation Establishment Pills for you."
As he spoke, Elder Huaiyuan took out two bottles of pills, "This bottle contains Foundation Establishment Pills, and this bottle contains Spirit Strengthening Pills."
Yun Ci took it and happily hugged Elder Huaiyuan's arm, acting coquettishly, "Thank you, Grandpa! You're so kind, Grandpa."
Elder Huaiyuan chuckled, his gaze towards Yun Ci filled with a grandfather's love for his grandson. "Little Ci, come visit your grandfather more often when you have nothing to do."
Sigh, ever since I had my grandson, I've been thinking about him all the time.
She worries about him while refining elixirs, she worries about him when she goes out, she worries about him no matter what she's doing, and when the weather turns cold, she worries about whether her grandson will get cold...
I heard that Xia's wife recently bought a heater and clothes for Xiao Ci, and Xia also gave Xiao Ci a Crimson Spirit Fruit. He just recently refined a Grade Nine Qi-Strengthening Pill, so I'll give it to Xia and his wife...
Yun Ci remembered that his grandfather in modern times always said the same thing to him, so he nodded obediently and hugged Elder Huaiyuan's arm tightly, "Okay, I will come more often, Grandpa."
For some reason, Yun Ci saw the image of a lonely old person in Grandpa Huaiyuan.
Grandpa Huaiyuan nodded in satisfaction and patted Yun Ci's head.
Yun Ci sat with Grandpa Huaiyuan for a while longer.
As darkness fell, thinking that Chu Ziming would worry if they didn't go back soon, they took the little ones back with them.
......
Back in the courtyard, Chu Ziming and Hei Zi had already returned.
Hei Zi was coming out of the main house, carrying Yun Ci's clothes in his arms. When he saw Yun Ci, he paused for a moment, about to speak.
Chu Ziming spoke up, "Yun Ci, where did you go?"
Yun Ci, holding Xiao Bai and the baby, replied, "I'm going to Grandpa Huaiyuan's place. Aren't you about to reach Foundation Establishment? Here, Foundation Establishment Pill."
This is a Spirit-Stabilizing Pill. Grandpa Huaiyuan said that we both advanced too quickly and need to consolidate our progress...
Looking at the green porcelain bottle in front of him, Chu Ziming was so moved that he burst into tears. He hugged Yun Ci tightly and said, "Yun Ci, you're so good to me!"
Such a wonderful Yun Ci, no one can take him away from him!
Yun Ci bumped her head on Chu Ziming's shoulder and blinked blankly.
"Alright, alright, let go of me now. Have you eaten yet? There are roasted sweet potatoes in the oven."
"Don't move, I'm feeling touched, let me hug you for a while."
"???"
After the two bickered for a while, Chu Ziming went into the kitchen.
Yun Ci looked at Hei Zi, "Hei Zi, give me the clothes, and you should go eat some roasted sweet potatoes too. These roasted sweet potatoes are so sweet, much sweeter than the ones I used to eat!"
Hei Zi listened patiently to Yun Ci's incessant chatter.
With a smile on his seemingly harmless face, his dark eyes stared at Yun Ci's soft, white face. Instead of giving the clothes to Yun Ci, he said, "It's hard to dry clothes at night, so I'll put them in the room first."
Yun Ci thought about it and agreed, without giving it much thought. She nodded, "Okay, then you can go eat after you've finished."
Hei Zi hummed in agreement, a slight smile playing on his lips, and took the clothes from his arms into his room.
*
At night, the stars in the sky twinkled and shone.
Chu Ziming and Hei Zi were eating hot roasted sweet potatoes. The two of them took a big sweet potato, peeled off the skin, and took big bites of the sweet potato inside.
Sweet and soft roasted sweet potatoes, they're so delicious they lift your spirits.
Little Black was glowing as it ran around the yard.
Yun Ci roasted several more pots of sweet potatoes and sent them to Su Jing, Ye Qingqing, Su Wanqing, Xia Zixuan, Xu Tianwei, Yu Dongsheng, Yue Xiaowu, Taotie, and Peak Master Li.
The kerosene lamp on the kitchen windowsill was lit.
Yun Ci is marinating the chicken.
The large palm-sized shrimp were processed, and each shrimp was peeled into shrimp meat. Next to it were fillings of spirit pork and spirit beef.
Cut potatoes into strips, tomatoes into slices, onion rings, and pickles into slices... for making French fries and hamburgers.
Xiao Hong is constantly stirring the milk, causing it to solidify and separate into oil and water, which will then be used to make butter.
The three little ones were running around in the yard, while the roosters in the eastern fence clucked from time to time.
The night was peaceful and beautiful.
