Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Elder Yao, I have to say that you came at the right time. I just bought two big carps yesterday. I ate one yesterday, but I didn't expect the other one to be reserved for you."
Li Nianfan was only joking, but Yao Mengji took it seriously. He immediately said in fear and trepidation, "Thank you, Young Master Li, for your kindness."
It turned out that Young Master Li had already predicted that he would come today. He had specially prepared a farewell party for him!
At this moment, Xiao Bai had already walked to the center of the courtyard. There was a stream here that served as a fish pond. It was very convenient.
Inside, a fish swayed its tail lazily as it swam.
The stream was connected to the pond in the backyard, but Li Nianfan had used a net to prevent the fish from swimming into the backyard.
This fish was a fat grass carp. It looked very energetic. Although it looked lazy on the surface, once there was any movement, it would quickly swim away with a flick of its tail. It was very agile.
However, no matter how agile the fish was, it was useless in front of Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai raised his hand and reached into the water. His face was expressionless as he effortlessly caught the grass carp in his hand.
"Pa da pa da!"
The fish swung wildly in his hand, but it couldn't break free at all.
Xiao Bai's hand was like a pair of pliers, holding onto the fish's body. After a while, the fish began to grow tired. Its struggles became weaker and weaker, and it became a fish on the chopping board.
"Bang!"
Whitey picked up the kitchen knife and slapped the head of the grass carp. The grass carp, which was already weak, suddenly stopped moving. This way, it could die more peacefully.
He scraped the fish's scales and opened its chest.
His movements were very smooth, and his movements were very experienced.
Very quickly, the fish was processed.
He raised his hand and chopped off the fish's head. He placed the body aside and officially began to make the fish head tofu soup.
It wasn't difficult to make tofu. Li Nianfan's backyard was planted with soybeans. He didn't lack the ingredients and techniques. Naturally, he could eat the tofu whenever he wanted.
He took out the white, crystal-like tofu from the refrigerator beside the stream and began to cook it.
Elder Yao, on the other hand, was sitting on the chair in a daze.
Although he had been enlightened by Li Nianfan, it was impossible for him to walk out of it. From time to time, he would become absent-minded and sigh.
The tea on the side had unknowingly turned cold.
In such a situation, what he should do was not to enlighten him but to accompany him.
Li Nianfan didn't say anything. He just waited quietly for Xiao Bai to cook. He hoped that the food would make Mr. Yao feel better.
He didn't have many friends in the Immortal Cultivation World. If one of them went, there would be one less. He hoped that Elder Yao would be fine.
In the entire courtyard, Li Nianfan accompanied Yao Mengji in a daze. Daji was studying the Go game at the side. Dahei was listlessly lying on the ground with its ears drooping. Only Xiao Bai was still diligently cooking.
"Bada bada."
Unknowingly, a burst of smoke lifted the lid of the casserole, making a crisp sound.
When the lid was lifted, suddenly, thick smoke billowed.
A rich aroma instantly swept over and enveloped the courtyard. It flowed through the nose and into the limbs and bones. One couldn't help but take a deep breath. Their entire body felt refreshed.
Hmm?
Yao Mengji, who was still in a daze, was stunned. He couldn't help but sniff. His pupils dilated.
It smelled so good!
The aroma entered his mouth and then into his stomach. However, because it was just air, his stomach was dissatisfied and began to contract.
"Gugugu!"
Accompanied by a sense of hunger, his stomach actually made a sound. Reading Building
Suddenly, Yao Mengji's old face turned red. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't show his face.
He didn't know how many years it had been. He had almost forgotten the feeling of hunger. Now, not only did it come, but his stomach also made a sound.
A moment ago, he was clearly a person who had come to his senses and wanted to die. The next second, his stomach made a sound. This was simply … too embarrassing!
'I can't take it anymore. God, just let me die. I'm too ashamed to face anyone!'
He secretly looked in the direction of the aroma and saw that Xiao Bai had already walked over with the fish soup.
Above the clay pot, smoke curled up.
Through the smoke, he was immediately attracted by the milky white fish soup. The fish soup's color was very pure. There was no oil floating on it. It was the most simple combination of the freshness of the fish head and tofu.
The entire soup sparkled under the sunlight, as if it was glowing.
In the thick soup, the plump fish head poked out. Beside the fish head, there were a few pieces of jade-like tofu as decorations. It formed the best combination.
The fish soup's aroma wasn't very invasive, but it was long-lasting and delicious. It left a rich aftertaste.
Looking at the fish soup in the pot and smelling the aroma that filled the air, it instantly increased one's appetite and made one salivate.
"Gulp."
Yao Mengji swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His gaze was fixed on the pot of fish soup. A sense of longing suddenly surged in his heart.
He originally thought that his heart was already dead. There was nothing in the world that could tempt him anymore. However, now, he realized that he was wrong. Very wrong.
It turned out that the temptation of delicious food could really overcome the despair of death.
Li Nianfan saw Yao Mengji's reaction and couldn't help but smile. Indeed, there was no problem that couldn't be solved by a delicious meal.
Xiao Bai had already scooped a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of Yao Mengji. "Please enjoy."
"T-Thank you very much."
Yao Mengji took the fish soup. He couldn't help but bring it in front of him and sniffed it.
The warm and moist aroma made him instantly excited. Other than half a bowl of thick soup, there was also a piece of plump and tender fish meat and two pieces of white and translucent tofu.
His Adam's apple bobbed. He couldn't wait to pick up the porcelain bowl and take a sip.
Immediately, the thick white fish soup poured into his mouth from the bowl. The smooth texture made him feel comfortable, and the most important thing was that the fresh and delicious fragrance instantly bloomed in his mouth. The soup wrapped around his throat like fine silk wrapping around his skin, making him unable to bear to swallow.
He couldn't help but use his tongue to tease the fish soup. Only then did he slowly swallow it down.
"It's … It's delicious!"
Yao Mengji couldn't help but exclaim. He felt every cell in his body open up. His entire body was indescribably relaxed.
He couldn't help but lower his head and take another big gulp.
"Huff!"
This time, he also sucked a piece of tofu into his mouth.
The tofu, which was smooth and tender to the extreme, seemed to have completely fused with the soup. He didn't even have the time to chew before it melted in his mouth. Immediately, the fragrance of the tofu and the fish soup perfectly blended together, making the taste of the tofu even more delicious.
"Delicious! Too delicious! This is definitely the best delicacy I've ever eaten in my life! "
"Huff, huff!"
Yao Mengji forgot himself. He drank more and more hurriedly. He had already covered his face with the bowl.
However, under the bowl covering his face, two streams of tears flowed from his eyes.
I can't believe I can eat such delicacies before I die. My life is perfect. I can die without regrets!
"Young Master Li, I've embarrassed myself." Yao Mengji quickly wiped his tears. "Can I have another bowl?"
Li Nianfan said, "No problem. You can have as much as you want."
