Chapter 233: The Ultimate Delicacy, Liuyang Pepper

"What's that smell? It's so fragrant!"

When the fragrance filled the air, the chubby middle-aged man's nose twitched twice, and he was surprised.

"It should be my disciple who is making dinner. He is basically responsible for cooking all the way."

The old doctor smelled the familiar fragrance and laughed.

"I didn't expect that Doctor Chen's disciple is also good at cooking."

The chubby middle-aged man was surprised.

He took a deep breath again, and his heart became more itchy.

"I wonder what dinner your disciple made tonight?"

The old doctor saw that he looked a little restless, so he smiled and said, "I don't know either. Why don't we go out and take a look."

"That's great!" The chubby middle-aged man blurted out.

Seeing the funny look on the old doctor's face, he said embarrassedly:

"Doctor Chen, to be honest, I have no other hobbies in my life, I just like to eat. As long as I see different delicious food, I will definitely feel uneasy if I don't find out what it is."

"Mr. Xu is really a man of temperament."

The two walked out of the hall and saw smoke rising in the yard.

The fat middle-aged disciples and Wei Zian were gathered in front of a fire, looking eager.

On the fire, several fat rabbits and fish were being roasted, and the rich aroma that filled the whole temple was emitted by them.

The one who was roasting meat was naturally Lu Qing.

These rabbits were caught by him on the way here before, and he took Xiao Li with him to the forest by the roadside.

These days they were busy on the road, and they were eating more perfunctorily, so they planned to make a delicious meal tonight.

As for the two fish, they were also unexpected gains.

After catching a few fat rabbits, they passed by a mountain stream.

Lu Qing thought that Xiao Li hadn't eaten fresh fish for a long time, so on a whim, he took out the fishing rod from the Qiankun Yiqi Bag and cast a few poles.

Unexpectedly, he soon got a harvest and caught several large carps weighing more than two kilograms. Xiao Li was so happy that he broke a large bluestone on the shore while sharpening his claws.

Because of time constraints, Lu Qing put away the others after feeding Xiao Li a fresh fish, intending to cook some fish with different flavors for him to try at dinner.

"Are you grilling something? But how can grilled rabbits and grilled fish alone be so fragrant?"

The chubby middle-aged man was puzzled when he saw the things grilling on the fire.

He had eaten grilled rabbits and grilled fish before, but he had never smelled such a fragrant barbecue.

At this moment, the chubby middle-aged man saw Lu Qing grab a handful of gray-white powder from a bowl at his feet and sprinkle it on the grilled rabbits.

Instantly, a stronger aroma emerged, and under the stimulation of the strong aroma, Wei Zian and others around could not help swallowing their saliva.

"That's it!"

The chubby middle-aged man's eyes widened instantly.

The aroma that he felt was very strange before was emitted by the gray powder sprinkled by Lu Qing.

"Brother, is the rabbit baked?"

Xiao Yan, who was squatting next to Lu Qing, asked with a glimmer on the corner of her mouth.

"Wait a little longer." Lu Qing said while brushing oil on the roasted rabbit, "Wait until the skin of the rabbit is baked until crispy, then it will be ready. It will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it will be delicious."

Gudong.

Hearing Lu Qing's description, Wei Zian and others felt more saliva secreted in their mouths.

"Haha, what delicious food are you making, your master and I can smell this tempting aroma inside."

At this time, the chubby middle-aged man laughed and walked up.

"Master."

The chubby middle-aged man's disciples realized that their master had come out for some reason, and they were a little embarrassed.

"Dad!" The girl greeted him happily, "Mr. Lu is grilling meat, and the smell is so delicious!"

"Dad smelled it, and you can see that he was attracted." The chubby middle-aged man laughed, "Young Master Lu, your grilling is really fascinating."

"Senior Xu, you are too kind, it's just a little skill." Lu Qing said modestly.

"By the way, what is the powder that you sprinkled on the roasted rabbit just now, young master Lu? I see that after you sprinkled it, the fragrance is so strong?" asked the chubby middle-aged man.

"It's a little seasoning that I made myself. Sprinkling some on the grilling can enhance the flavor."

Lu Qing handed over the bowl of gray-white powder.

The chubby middle-aged man took it, dipped a little with his finger, smelled it, and put it in his mouth to taste it.

Then his eyes lit up.

This powder is indeed a bit strange, with a slightly salty taste and a strange fragrance.

Lu Qing continued to roast the rabbit meat. Finally, when the rabbit meat was sizzling and oozing with oil, he sprinkled a handful of fragrant powder on it again and took the roasted rabbit off.

Then he took a stack of wooden plates and started to cut the rabbit meat with a knife.

Soon, the four roasted rabbits were divided into ten plates of rabbit meat by Lu Qing. Everyone had a share except Xiao Li.

After cutting up the rabbit meat, Lu Qing took another bowl, opened a bamboo tube, and poured out a small bowl of fiery red powder from it.

"Master, Senior Xu, please."

Lu Qing picked up two plates of rabbit meat and handed them to the old doctor and the chubby middle-aged man respectively.

"Doctor Chen, I won't be polite then."

The chubby middle-aged man, who loved delicious food, couldn't wait any longer and took the rabbit meat.

"It's okay, I haven't eaten the barbecue made by Ah Qing for a while." The old doctor also took the plate.

"Master, Senior Xu, you guys eat first, I'll go make some food."

After serving the meat, Lu Qing walked towards the fire again.

"Doctor Chen, please."

After Lu Qing left, the chubby middle-aged man took the lead in picking up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth.

Then the next moment, his eyes widened.

He only felt that the rabbit meat in his mouth had crispy skin and tender meat, and it was extremely delicious. It was really the most delicious roasted rabbit meat he had ever eaten in his life.

"Doctor Chen, your disciple's roasting skills are really unparalleled in the world. This roasted rabbit meat is a delicacy!"

After eating a bite of roasted meat, the chubby middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, you are too flattering..."

Back in front of the fire, Lu Qing handed the slightly smaller dish of meat to Xiaoyan.

"Thank you, brother."

Xiaoyan took the rabbit meat and ate it happily.

Lu Qing said to the girls, "Don't be polite, there is not much rabbit meat, please try it."

The girls had been salivating for a long time, but out of courtesy, they were still polite and picked up a dish of rabbit meat.

As for Ma Gu and Wei Zian, they had already picked up their own portions.

And they sprinkled the red seasoning on their own portions of meat with ease, and then they ate it with relish.

"Sir, your barbecue skills are as good as ever!"

Even though he had eaten Lu Qing's barbecue many times, Ma Gu was still full of praise when he ate it again.

"Yeah." Wei Zian nodded repeatedly.

Lu Qing's cooking skills were really the best he had ever seen. The chefs in the mansion could not compare with him at all.

Even his mother, sometimes when she was greedy, could not help but run to the other courtyard to live for a while, saying that she was going to escape the summer heat, but in fact she wanted to go to Lu Qing's house for a meal.

Seeing the exaggerated look of the two, the girls didn't care about being reserved and picked up the rabbit meat on the plate to eat.

Then, naturally, another round of exclamations sounded.

Lu Qing smiled and accepted everyone's praise, and suddenly, he felt his trouser legs being pulled.

Looking down, he saw Xiao Li looking at him eagerly.

"Don't worry, Xiao Li, your fish is ready too."

Because Lu Qing roasted the rabbit meat first and then started roasting the fish.

So the fish cooked slower.

But it was not much different, the heat was just right now.

After taking the two grilled fish down and giving them to Xiao Li, Lu Qing quickly washed the rice and put the meat in the pot, letting it simmer slowly on the fire, and then he took his portion of rabbit meat and ate it slowly.

The meat was still slightly hot when it entered his mouth, the skin was crispy, the meat was tender, and the juice was rich. Lu Qing took a bite and nodded.

Not bad, although he hadn't grilled meat for a few days, his cooking skills had not regressed.

After eating a bite of the original grilled rabbit meat, he also sprinkled a little red seasoning on the meat and continued to eat.

Even Ma Gu and Wei Zian sprinkled red seasoning on their remaining meat from time to time.

At this time, the girls finally noticed Lu Qing's actions.

The girl asked curiously, "Mr. Lu, what is this red powder? Why do you all add it to the barbecue?"

"This is chili powder, another seasoning I made, but its taste is a bit special. I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it, so I didn't add it to your meat. You can see that Xiaoyan's meat didn't have it." Lu Qing said with a smile.

"Yes, sister, the chili powder is very spicy. Xiaoyan doesn't like it very much."

Xiaoyan, who was standing next to her, wrinkled her nose, as if she was recalling some not-so-good memories.

"Chili powder?"

The girls all looked at the seasoning.

"Chili powder?" The fat middle-aged man not far away also heard Lu Qing's words and became curious, "Doctor Chen, what is this chili powder?"

"It's a seasoning that Ah Qing figured out by himself, but the taste is a bit too stimulating. I, an old man, don't like it very much. On the contrary, Ah Qing and Zi'an like it very much." The old doctor explained.

"Oh, so strange, I must try it!"

The fat middle-aged man was the most fond of food. Hearing that there was such a strange seasoning, he immediately became interested.

He walked forward with the half-eaten roasted rabbit meat.

"Mr. Lu, can I also try this chili powder?"

"Of course, but this thing is quite stimulating. I wonder if Senior Xu likes it."

Lu Qing handed over the bowl of chili powder.

"Haha, Mr. Xu likes to try all kinds of strange foods in his life, Mr. Lu, don't worry."

The chubby middle-aged man imitated Lu Qing and the others and sprinkled chili powder on the rabbit meat, stirred it, and took a bite.

He didn't feel anything when the rabbit meat entered his mouth, but after chewing it a few times, he immediately found something different.

A spicy and tingling feeling spread from his mouth, which should have been a bad experience.

But with the fresh fragrance of the rabbit meat, he felt very stimulating and refreshing.

"What a special taste!"

The chubby middle-aged man was very surprised after taking a bite of the rabbit meat.

This was a new and strange taste he had never experienced before, but he liked it very much.

Seeing that the master was so amazed, several disciples were naturally more curious and tried it one after another.

As a result, after trying it, the three male disciples liked the taste of chili powder just like their master.

The girl was flushed and ran to find water to drink, coughing, looking quite embarrassed.

"Dad, you lied to me. How can this be delicious!"

After taking a few gulps of water and feeling that her tongue was not so numb, the girl finally took a breath and said to her father coquettishly.

"No, this is obviously delicious!"

The chubby middle-aged man picked up another piece of roasted rabbit meat covered with chili powder and put it in his mouth.

Feeling the spicy and fresh fragrance in the mouth, the feeling of rushing straight to the top of the head, only felt a burst of hearty and refreshing.

The look of enjoyment on the face made the girl stunned.

I can't understand how my father and senior brothers can eat such a stimulating thing.

No wonder Mr. Lu said that this thing is special and not everyone can accept it.

Seeing that the father and daughter almost fell out, Lu Qing laughed.

He knew it would be like this.

The people in this world don't seem to be developed enough for spicy things.

At least in Cangzhou, it's like this.

When people cook food, they only use spicy condiments such as old ginger at most.

The chili powder he prepared himself was quite spicy, so naturally not everyone could accept it.

"Mr. Lu, your chili powder really tastes strange. I have never tasted it before. I wonder what it is made of?" the chubby middle-aged man asked.

"Its main ingredient is a medicinal herb that I accidentally discovered..." Lu Qing explained.

He prepared this chili powder by chance.

Once, he took Xiao Li into the mountains to collect herbs and accidentally discovered a medicinal herb called Liuyang pepper.

After careful study, he found that it was very similar to the pepper in his previous life.

The difference is that the spiciness of Liuyang pepper is much hotter than ordinary peppers.

And it can replenish the vitality of the human body, which is a very good medicine.

After discovering Liuyang pepper, Lu Qing was very happy at that time.

He immediately dug a few plants and took them back to his own yard.

In the past two years, the Liuyang pepper trees have grown very well, and Lu Qing has harvested a lot of Liuyang pepper.

And they have also studied many ways to eat it, and this chili powder is one of them.

"You can actually make such delicious food from medicinal materials, Mr. Lu, it seems that you are also a foodie like me."

After listening to it, the chubby middle-aged man was very happy.

"The younger generation is indeed quite interested in food. I like to think about it from time to time at home." Lu Qing admitted generously.

"Hahaha, then Xu is really blessed to be able to taste such delicious food in this remote place."

The chubby middle-aged man laughed heartily.

Especially thinking that he would travel with Lu Qing and others in the next few days, he felt even happier and felt that this was really the most correct decision he had made in these years.

A plate of barbecue is naturally not enough for Lu Qing and other martial artists to eat.

So in the following time, Lu Qing made some other food.

Each one made the chubby middle-aged man and others very surprised and excited.

However, just when everyone was enjoying their meal in the mountain temple, suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the temple.
